43. The Gold Adornment

43 – 63 – 89 – 7

Al-Zukhruf------The Gold Adornment

1 The Qur'an is a transcript from the Mother Book which is in

Allah's keeping. 

Even the Mushrikeen believe that the heavens, earth and all

therein is created by Allah.

Supplication before riding a conveyance. 

2 Some Mushrikeen regard the angels to be female divinities,

being the daughters of Allah. 

3 The Prophet Ibrâheem recognized the Oneness of Allah and

rejected Shirk (associating some one else with Allah).

If it were not that all mankind will become one race of

unbelievers, Allah would have given the unbelievers

houses made with sterling silver. 

4 He who turns away from the remembrance of Allah, Allah

appoints a Shaitân to be his intimate friend.

Hold fast to the Qur'an if you want to be rightly guided. 

5 The Prophet Musa was sent to Fir‘aun and his chiefs with signs

but they ridiculed him and the signs; as a result, Allah

drowned them all. 

6 The Prophet Isa (Jesus) was no more than a mortal whom Allah

favored and made him an example for the Children of Israel. 

7 On the Day of Judgment believers will have no fear or regret;

they will be awarded paradise and made happy.

O Prophet tell the Christians: if Allah had a son, I would

have been the first one to worship him.

42. The Consultations

42 – 62 – 53 – 5

Ash-Shura------The Consultations

1 The heavens might have broken apart from above those who

elevate Allah's creatures to His rank, if the angels were

not begging forgiveness for the residents of earth. 

2 Islam is the same Deen (way of life) which was enjoined on

Nûh (Noah), Ibrâheem (Abraham), Musa (Moses) and

Isa (Jesus). They were all ordered to establish Deenal-Islam

and do not create division (sects) in it. 

3 He who desires the harvest in the Hereafter shall be given many

folds, but he who desires in this life shall be given a

portion here but shall have no share in the Hereafter. 

4 Whatever afflictions befall upon people are the result of their

own misdeeds.

True believers are those who establish Salah, give

charity and defend themselves when oppressed. 

5 The real losers are those who will lose on the Day of

Resurrection. 

It is Allah Who gives daughters and sons as He pleases. 

It is not vouchsafed for any human being that Allah should

speak to him face to face.

41. In Detail (Fussilat)

41 – 61 – 54 – 6

2TheSTORY of the creation of the earth, mountains, seasons,

skies and heavens. 

Warning to the disbelievers and the example of Allah's scourge

upon the nations of ‘Ad and Thamûd. 

On the Day of Judgment, people's own ears, eyes and skins

will bear witness against them relating to their misdeeds. 

4 Those who do not listen to the Qur'an shall be sternly punished

and those who say our God is Allah and then stay firm on

it, angels are assigned for their protection. 

5 The best in speech is the one who calls people towards Allah,

does good deeds and says: "I am a Muslim." Repel evil with good 

Example of Allah's signs. Nothing is said to Muhammad (pbuh) which was not said to the prior Prophets.

The Qur'an is a guide and healing for the believers. 

6 The Book given to the Prophet Musa was similar to the Qur'an. 

On the Day of Judgment all other gods to whom people

worship besides Allah shall vanish. 

Have you ever considered that if the Qur'an is really from

Allah and you deny it, what will happen to you.

40. The Believer

40 – 60 – 85 – 9

Ghaafir /Al-Mu'min------The Forgiver /The Believer

1 No one disputes the revelations of Allah except the kuffâr (unbelievers)

The angels who bear the Throne of Allah pray for those

who repent and follow the Right Way. 

2 A scene from the Day of Judgment.

Furtive looks and the secret thoughts. 

3 Those who denied the Prophets and Allah's revelations were

all destroyed. 

The Prophet Musa was sent to Fir‘aun, Hamân and Qarûn.

Fir‘aun intended to kill the Prophet Musa. 

4 An excellent speech of one of the relatives of Fir‘aun in favor

of the Prophet Musa. 

5 The speech continued ...about this life and the hereafter, paradise and hell. 

The speech continued… about shirk and its baselessness 

Allah saved that believer from the plots of Fir‘aun and destroyed

the people of Fir‘aun; now they are presented before the fire

of Hell morning and evening (punishment of the graves). 

6 Allah does help His Rasools and the believers in this world's

life and will help them in the life Hereafter.

Your Rabb says: "Call on Me, I will answer

your prayers" 

7 No one has the right to be worshipped except Allah, the

Creator and the Rabb of the worlds. 

8 Those who argue about the revelations of Allah, will soon find out the Truth

Allah has sent many Rasools before Muhammad (pbuh);

some are mentioned in the Qur'an and some are not. 

9 Cattle are the signs of Allah for the people of understanding.

Belief after seeing the scourge of Allah is of no avail to

the disbelievers.

39. Az-Zumar------The Groups

39 – 59 – 75 – 8

Az-Zumar------The Groups 

1 The mushrikeen try to justify their worship of saints saying that

it may bring them closer to Allah. On the Day of Judgment, no bearer of burden shall bear

the burden of another. 

2 Believers who cannot practice their faith (Islam) should migrate

to other places where they can do so.

The real losers are those who shall lose their souls and

their families on the Day of Judgment. No one can rescue the one against whom the sentence of

punishment has been decreed. 

3 The Qur'an is consistent in its verses though it repeats its teachings in different ways. 

Allah has cited every kind of parable in the Qur'an so

that people may learn a lesson. 

4 Who can be more wicked than the one who invents a lie against

Allah?

If Allah intends to harm you, no one can save you and if

He intends to bestow His blessings,

no one can withhold it. 

5 It is Allah Who recalls the souls of people upon their death

and of the living people during their sleep. 

If the wrong doers possess all the treasures of the earth and

much more besides it, they will gladly offer it as a ransom

to redeem themselves on the Day of Judgment. 

6 Those who have transgressed against their souls should not

despair of Allah's mercy, they should repent while they

can. 

7 Worship Allah and be among His thankful servants and

On the Day of Judgment, the Book of Deeds will be laid

open and justice will be done with all fairness. 

8 After Judgment, unbelievers will be driven to Hell and the

righteous will be led to Paradise. 

34. Al-Saba------Sheba (The Queen)

34 – 58 – 54 – 6 

Al-Saba------Sheba (The Queen) 

1 The Hour is surely going to come and the Day of Judgment

shall be established to reward the believers and punish

those who discredit Allah's revelations. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter are doomed. 

2 The mountains and birds used to sing Allah's Rhymes with the Prophet Daûd.
Allah subjected the winds and jinns to Sulaimân.

Claim of people that Jinns know the unseen, is wrong. 

The people of Saba' rejected Allah's blessings and disbelieved in

the Hereafter, so Allah made them merely a tale of the past. 

3 No intercession before Allah can avail any one except for

whom He permits it.

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is for the entire mankind. 

4 Those who disbelieve in the Qur'an and prior scriptures, will

have yokes placed around their necks before being tossed into hell. 

5 Wealth and children are not the indications of Allah's pleasure.

It is belief that brings you close to Allah not the wealth or children.

Whatever you spend in charity, Allah will pay you back.

Unbeliever's statements about the Prophet & the Qur'an. 

6 The unbelievers are asked to ponder upon their wrong statements – the

Truth has come, falsehood neither originates nor restores anything. 

On the Day of Judgment the unbelievers will want to believe

but it will be of no avail to them.

Obey your parents 

but not in the matters of Shirk. Advice of Luqmân about moral behavior and interaction. 

3 Main reason for being misguided is being blinded by following

one's forefathers. 

If all the trees were pens and the oceans were ink, Allah's words

could not be put into writing.

Allah is the only reality, all others whom people

invoke besides Him are false. 

4 O mankind, fear that Day when no father shall avail his son nor a son

his father. Let not the Shaitân deceive you concerning this fact.

A dialogue between the followers and the leaders who

mislead them. A scene from the scenes of Paradise.

An example of conversation of a resident of Paradise. 

A scene from the scenes of Hell.

sacrifice as a test and he fulfilled it.

6 – 55 – 165 -20

Al-Anaam------The Cattle 

1 Allah is the same, One Almighty God, for the heavens and the earth. 

If Allah had sent a written Book and an angel with it, the

unbelievers still would not have believed. 

2 Allah has decreed mercy for Himself that is why He does not

punish any one in this world.

Punishment will be on the Day of Judgment. 

The Qur'an is revealed to admonish and to declare that there is

Only One God: Allah. 

3 Prejudice has made the people worship deities other than Allah. 

For sure there is a life after death? 

4 Those who deny life after death are losers 

Those who deny the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), in fact

deny Allah's revelations. 

Those who listen will accept the Truth.

Use your common sense to learn from the signs of nature.

Do you not call Allah Alone in real distress? 

5 Prosperity in this world is not a reward, but a respite. 

Who can restore your hearing and sight if Allah takes them away?

Rasools never claimed that they know the unseen or that

they are angels.

Real belief is a favor of Allah and is irrespective of worldly status.

Salah and to fear Allah Alone.

common sense.

Muhammad (pbuh): none of them were Mushrikeen. 

11 Allah is the One Who revealed the Taurât and the Qur'an. Those who invent a lie against Allah will face a disgraceful punishment. 

12 Examples from Allah's creation are clearly spelled out for the

understanding of mankind. How could Allah have a son without a spouse?

Clear proofs have come to you, if only you could care to

understand. 

13 Do not insult the deities to whom the Mushrikeen offer their

worship.

Guidance depends on the attitude of individuals. 

14 All Rasools of Allah had opposition from Shaitân and his

followers. 

Eat only that meat on which Allah's name has been

pronounced. 

15 When good and bad are treated alike, criminals are appointed

as their ringleaders. 

Whomever Allah wants to guide, He opens up his chest to

Islam. 

Jinns, and human beings who are misled by them, will all be

cast into Hell. 

16 On the Day of Judgment kuffâr (unbelievers) will confess that

they were indeed kuffâr (disbelievers).
