This is the sixth group of the Qur’ān. It has seventeen sūrahs from Qāf to Tah@rīm. It is evident from the subject-matter of these sūrahs that the first seven of them were revealed in Makkah and the last ten were revealed in Madīnah. Like other groups of the Qur’ān, this group too begins with Makkan sūrahs and ends on Madīnan ones. The addressees of this group are the Quraysh in the Makkan sūrahs and the Prophet Muh@ammad (sws) and his followers in the Madīnan ones. The People of the Book are discussed in a secondary manner – in Makkan sūrahs because during their period of revelation they had started to openly support the Quraysh and openly oppose Muh@ammad (sws) and in Madīnan ones because some groups of the hypocrites found among Muslims were under their influence. The theme of this group is the validation of the Day of Judgement and meting out warnings and glad

The requirements of obeying and submitting to God and His Prophet are mentioned under this purification and segregation and keeping in view the situation of that time. _____________

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The theme of both is substantiation of the Day of Judgement and meting out warnings with its reference. In the second sūrah however, historical arguments for substantiation of the Day of Judgement are presented in more detail than in the first one. Besides this, the Qur’ānic warning of worldly punishment is also validated. Both address the Quraysh and it is evident from their subject-matter that they were revealed in Makkah in the phase of indhār-i ‘ām of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. Both sūrahs end on a note of assurance to Prophet Muh@ammad (sws).

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful. This is Sūrah Qāf. The glorious Qur’ān bears witness [to itself. The reason for their denial is not the one they present]; in fact, they are amazed that a warner has come to them from among themselves. So, these disbelievers said: “It is a strange thing that after we die and become dust [we will be returned to life again]. Such a return is very improbable.” (1-3) [They estimate the extent of Our knowledge on the basis of their own, whereas] whatever the earth consumes of them is in Our notice, and with Us is also the book that preserves everything. [No! The reason for their denial is not what they apparently present]; in fact, they have denied the truth after it has become manifest to them. So, they are now in a state of confusion. (4-5)

And We sent down blessed water from the sky; We then brought forth from it gardens and crops, which are harvested, and tall palm trees stacked with clusters of dates as a means of sustenance for men. And We enlivened a dead piece of land through this water. Likewise shall be the rising [of the dead from the earth].

Do you then not see? And there is in the heavens your sustenance also and that too about which you are being threatened with. Thus, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, its advent is as certain as your speaking. (20-23). [Signs of this also exist in history.] Has the tale of the honoured guests of Abraham reached you? When they came to him, they said: “Peace be to you!” “Peace be to you too,” he answered – these folks seem to be strangers. He then secretively hastened to his family and brought [for them] some roasted meat of a fatted calf and placed it before them. [But they did not extend their hands.] He said: “Why are you people not eating?” Then, [seeing their hesitation], he – 19 – © "All rights of this book are reserved for the publisher and the author.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The theme of both is to substantiate the Day of Judgement and to warn and to give glad tidings to people on its basis. In the first sūrah, warning people of the punishment and criticism on the attitude of the leaders of the Quraysh is evident, whereas in the second, the element of refutation of their foolish beliefs about God and the Hereafter is prominent. Both sūrahs sound assurance to the Prophet Muh@ammad (sws). Both are addressed to the Quraysh, and it is evident from their subject-matter that they were revealed in Makkah in the phase of indhār-i ‘ām of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission.

companion is neither lost nor has he gone astray. He does not speak out of his own fancy. This [Qur’ān] is but a revelation sent down to him. He has been taught by an angel mighty in power, towering in character and endued with wisdom. Thus, he appeared such that he was on the higher horizon. Then he drew near and bent down within two bows’ length or even closer [to the Prophet]. The Almighty then revealed to His servant that which He revealed. Whatever he saw was not his heart’s delusion. So, will you then quarrel with him over what he is seeing? (1-12) And he beheld him once again descending near the farthest lote-tree, close to which is the Paradise of Repose, when the lote-tree was being covered with that which was covering it. His sight did not falter nor lost its poise. He has seen his Lord’s great signs. (13-18) – 31 – © "All rights of this book are reserved for the publisher and the author.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. Both contain a recurring verse. Hence, this apparent similarity is also evident. The theme of both is to substantiate the Day of Judgement and to warn people and to give glad tidings to them on its basis. In the first sūrah, arguments are adduced from God’s law of meting out reward and punishment in this world to the foremost addressees of His Messengers. In the second sūrah, arguments are adduced from the signs of God’s mercy, power, wisdom and providence found within man and in the world around him. Both sūrahs are addressed to the Quraysh who were demanding a sign of the punishment they were being threatened with. Their attention is directed to various incidents and signs and warned as to why they do no observe these signs and seek a lesson from them? The recurring verses of both sūrahs are meant to jolt and shake these stubborn and obdurate addressees. It is evident from the subject-matter of the sūrahs that they were revealed in Makkah in the phase of

those who are grateful. Lot had indeed informed them of Our grasp, but they only made foolish objections on his warning. And they urged him to stop helping his guests; so, We blinded their eyes; now taste My wrath and My warning. At daybreak, an abiding punishment seized them. So, taste My punishment and My warning. We have made this Qur’ān very appropriate for reminding. So, is there anyone who shall take heed!? (33-40) To the Pharaoh’s people also came this warning. They also rejected all Our signs; so, We seized them the way a mighty and powerful one seizes. (41-42) [O People of the Quraysh!] Are these disbelievers among you any better than them or is there an acquittal written for you in the scriptures? Do they claim: “We are a group who has the ability to fight back.” [Listen up!] Their group shall soon be routed, – 43 – © "All rights of this book are reserved for the publisher and the author.

This is an independent sūrah on which the Makkan sūrahs of this group end. It contains a summary of all the discussion regarding reward and punishment found in the six previous sūrahs (Surah Qāf to Sūrah Rah@mān). In these sūrahs, a day of reward and punishment is substantiated on the basis of human nature and intellect, the world around man and that within him and the manifestation of God’s Judgement throughout the history of mankind. The last of this series of sūrahs is Sūrah Rah@mān in which besides the above motifs the subject of giving glad tidings and warnings has also become fully evident. It is this subject which reaches its culmination with all its details in the present sūrah. In this respect, this sūrah is a supplement to the previous ones. The addressees are the arrogant among the Quraysh who are warned that the Day of Judgement is certain to come. It shall manifest come what may. People will then necessarily be raised to life in a new world where the yardstick of respect and humiliation will have changed. Honour and success in that world will belong to the sābiqūn and the as@h@āb al-yamīn,

So, [leave them O Prophet! and] glorify your great Lord with the help of His name. (74) [They deny the Qur’ān.] So no! [This has not been inspired by some devil.] I present as witness the abodes where stars fall, and if you understand this indeed is a very great witness. Indeed, this is a glorious Qur’ān in a protected book. None touch it except the [angels] pure; it has been revealed from the Lord of the Universe. So, why is it that you show indifference to this discourse and refute what is [God’s] sustenance for you? (75-82) If you are subservient to no one, then at the time when a man’s soul reaches his throat and you see this but do not see that We are nearer to him than you. So, if you are subservient to no one, then why do not you restore his [life], if you are truthful? (83-87) – 59 – © "All rights of this book are reserved for the publisher and the author.

Thus [bear in mind], if the deceased is from among the favoured ones, for him is bliss and ecstasy and a garden of delight. And if he is from among the companions of the right hand, then [the angels say:] “Peace be to you O one who was from among the companions of the right hand.” And if he is from those who have denied and gone astray, then for him is the feast of scalding water and entry to Hell.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. A stern warning is sounded in the second sūrah to the Hypocrites who were indulging in propaganda against the jihād and infāq to which Muslims had been roused in the first sūrah. Both sūrahs are addressed to the Muslims and it is evident from their subject-matter that they were revealed in Madīnah in the tazkiyah wa tat@hīr phase of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of Sūrah H@adīd is to induce Muslims to jihād and infāq in order to attain the status of God’s favoured ones, whereas those people are warned and exhorted who being unaware of the requisites of faith were hesitant in fulfilling these directives of Islam. The theme of Sūrah Mujādalah is to explain the requirements of faith and Islām, to warn and admonish the Hypocrites and to check the propaganda they had launched to shake the belief of the Muslims and to smother their enthusiasm for jihād.

And what has happened to you that you are not professing true faith in God and His Messenger even though the Messenger is inviting you to profess faith in your Lord, and he has taken a strong covenant [of to listen and obey] from you, if you really believe?

[It should be clear to you that] those of you who spend in charity and wage war [for the cause of truth] after the conquest, will never be equal to those who spend in charity and wage war [for the cause of truth] before the conquest. They will have a greater status than those who spend in charity and wage war afterwards – although God has promised each a good reward. [Remember that] God is fully aware of all that you do.

The day when the Hypocrites, both men and women, will call out to the believers: “Please give us the chance to benefit from your light.” But they will be told: “[No!] Stand back, and seek [there] the light [for yourselves]!” Then a wall will be erected between them and the believers in which there will be a door. Inside it, there shall be mercy, and outside it torment. They will plead to them: “Were we not with you [in the previous world]?” “Yes,” they will reply, “you were indeed with us but you indulged in mischief, waited for our turn of fortunes, remained in doubts and your desires deceived you until God’s verdict materialized, and that great Deceiver continued to deceive you about God till the very end.

As for those who have disbelieved and denied Our revelations, they will be the companions of Hell. (18-19) Bear in mind that the parable of the life of this world – a sport and an entertainment, an embellishment and, in the matter of wealth and children, a mutual show off and a quest to outdo one another in them – is that of rain which produces a crop that lures the hearts of these disbelievers; then it blooms and you see it turn yellowish orange, then [a calamity strikes, and it] turns into bits and pieces. [Bear in mind that after this] in the Hereafter there is a grievous penalty also and the forgiveness of God and His pleasure too. And the life of this world is but a provision of deception. (20)

And these people [always] converse secretly about usurping rights, transgression and disobedience to the Messenger. And [O Prophet!] When they come to you, they pay salutations to you in words which God does not greet you with, and say in their hearts: “[If he is a Prophet,] why does God not punish us for what we say?” Hell alone is sufficient for them. They shall enter it and it is a very evil abode! (8) Believers! When you converse secretly, do not converse of usurping rights, transgression and disobedience to the Messenger; instead, converse about what is virtuous and pious and fear God before whom you all shall be brought together.

And they intentionally swear to their falsehood [that they are with you]. God has prepared for them a grievous torment. Evil indeed is that which they are doing. They use their oaths as a shield; thus, they have desisted from the path of God. So, a humiliating torment awaits them. (14-16) Neither their wealth nor children shall in any way be able to protect them from this torment of God. – 76 – © "All rights of this book are reserved for the publisher and the author.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. In the first sūrah, the Hypocrites are advised to learn a lesson from the fate of the Jews whom they were inducing to evil deeds, and in the second the weak Muslims are warned of the consequences of maintaining ties with those Idolaters who had become enemies of God and His Messenger. Both sūrahs are addressed to those who lay claim to faith, and it is evident from their subject-matter that they were revealed in Madīnah in the tazkiyah wa tat@hīr phase of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of Sūrah H@ashr is to warn the Hypocrites that if they have eyes, they should learn a lesson from the fate of those whom they deemed unconquerable, positively respond to the call of the Qur’ān and fear the punishment of God. The theme of Sūrah Mumtah@inah is to make those Muslims understand the requirements of faith who had migrated to Madīnah but had not understood the real essence of migration. Thus, at times of trial, they would display such weaknesses that would take them

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful. Every object in the heavens and the earth has glorified God, and He alone is Mighty and Wise. It is He Who drove out the disbelievers among the People of the Book from their dwellings for their first fate. You never thought that they would go out [in this manner] and they also thought that their forts would protect them from the punishment of God. But God came upon them from where they did not even expect and He struck terror into their hearts. They were destroying their dwellings by their own hands and also by the hands of the Muslims. So learn from their example, O you who have eyes! (1-2)

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. In the first sūrah, those people are warned who were evading jihād to help and support the faith they had professed in Muh@ammad (sws), while in the second sūrah warning is sounded to those who were not giving this faith due importance and were showing slackness in following Muh@ammad (sws). Both sūrahs are addressed to people who lay claim to faith, and it is evident from their subjectmatter that they were revealed in Madīnah in the tazkiyah wa tat@hīr phase of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of Sūrah S@aff is to warn weak Muslims that if after professing faith in Muh@ammad (sws) they evade jihād, then they will end up with the same fate as that of the Jews. In this regard, the right attitude was not that of the Jews, but that which the disciples of Jesus (sws) adopted. Hence, if anyone is to be followed, they should be followed. As for the Jews, they have been eternally deprived of God’s guidance. The theme of Sūrah Jumu‘ah is to direct the

attention of the weak Muslims, referred to above, to the fact that in the person of the Messenger they have a supreme favour of God. They should give him due importance rather than depriving themselves of this favour by getting influenced by the envious campaigns of the Jews. The counsel of the Messenger and respect of the sharī‘ah brought by him should be dearer to them than any other thing of this world; they should bear in mind that neglect in this regard will lead them to the same fate as the Jews met before them.

Believers!

Tell them: “The death from which you are running away is sure to come to you. Then you shall be made to appear before Him who knows the unknown and the manifest, and He will inform you of all what you had been doing.” (5-8) Believers! [Give due importance to the Prophet, and] when the call for the prayer is sounded on Friday [on his behalf], hasten to the remembrance of God and leave aside your trading. This is better for you, if you but know. Then, when the prayer ends, disperse in the land, and seek God’s bounty, and remember God in abundance so that you may succeed.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. In the first sūrah, Muslims are directed to be on guard against the Hypocrites who were becoming rebellious, and in the second against their family, which could become an impediment for the cause of truth. Moreover, in both sūrahs, Muslims are counselled to spend in the way of God by regarding the Hereafter to be the actual reality and to be prepared to offer any sacrifice to please God and the Prophet (sws). Both sūrahs are primarily addressed to the Muslims and it is evident from their subject-matter that they were revealed in Madīnah in the tazkiyah wa tat@hīr phase of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of Sūrah Munāfiqūn is to inform the Muslims that the Hypocrites are absolute liars. They must not be influenced by their talk and their style of swearing oaths on every statement because they want to stop the Muslims from spending in the way of God and, in this manner, take them away from God and His Prophet (sws).

The theme of Sūrah Taghābun is to inform the Muslims that their enemies can even be found in their own houses. Hence they should beware that the real thing is not the family members. They want to implicate Muslims in various doubts about the Hereafter by striking fear in them about the problems of this world. The fact is that the Hereafter is the actual reality and the real day of winning or losing. If Muslims want to succeed in the Hereafter, they should get ready to offer sacrifice and become selfless to please God and His Prophet (sws). In this matter, they should disregard the reproaches of any reproacher and counsels of any counsellor.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful. When these Hypocrites come to you, they say: “We bear witness that indeed you are God’s Messenger.” Indeed God knows that you certainly are His Messenger, but God bears witness that these Hypocrites are absolute liars. They use their oaths as a shield and have withdrawn from the path of God. Indeed, very evil is what they do. This is because they first embraced faith, then renounced it; so, their hearts were sealed. Thus they understand nothing.

This happened because their messengers continued to come to them with veritable signs but they said to them: “Will mortals guide us?” In this manner, they refused to believe and turned away, and [as a result] God also [according to His established practice] became indifferent [to them], and God is self-sufficient and has all worthy attributes.

The theme of Sūrah Tah@rīm is to inform Muslims how, at times of showing love and affection, they should try to keep themselves and their families within the limits prescribed by God. Moreover, it is emphasized that each person should remain aware that the only thing that will be of avail to him before God is his deeds. In their absence, association with the greatest of personalities will not be of any benefit.

[During this waiting period], do not turn them out of their houses, nor should they [themselves] leave except if they are guilty of some open lewdness. These are the bounds set by God and those who transgress the bounds of God [should remember that] it is they who have wronged their own souls.

This is the seventh group of the Qur’ān. It consists of forty eight sūrahs beginning from Sūrah Mulk (67) and ending on Sūrah Nās (114), the last sūrahs of the Qur’ān. It is evident from the subject-matter of these sūrah and from their arrangement in the group that the first forty-six sūrahs were revealed in Makkah, while the last two – Falaq and Nās – were revealed in Madīnah immediately after migration. Like other groups of the Qur’ān, this group also begins with Makkan sūrahs and ends with Madinan ones. Though the Prophet (sws) is also addressed in this group, yet except for some sūrahs which comfort him and give glad tidings to him this address is of the nature is that of sounding mere assurance. The real addressees of this group are the leadership of the Quraysh organized under Abū Lahab. Consequently, with the gradual development of the subject-matter of the group, this fact becomes so evident in the last sūrahs that there remains no room for any other opinion in this regard.

The theme of this group is to warn the leadership of the Quraysh of the consequences of the Hereafter, to conclusively communicate the truth to them, and, as its result, to threaten them with a severe punishment, and to give glad tidings to the Prophet (sws) of the supremacy of the truth in Arabia. This theme gradually reaches its culmination through the arrangement of various sūrahs in this group with such precision and beauty that all the stages – from propagation (da‘wah) and warning (indhār) to migration (hijrah) and acquittal (barā’ah) – in the preaching missions of the messengers of God are brought to light. To understand this arrangement, a short summary of the contents of this group is presented below:

All of man’s deeds, whether good or bad, small or big shall come before him – the Quraysh are reprimanded that in spite of receiving the blessings of God and reaping the benefits of peace and tranquility merely because they are the custodians of the Baytullāh in the plunder-laden and war-stricken atmosphere of Arabia, they should be grateful to God on this and spend for His cause from the subsistence provided to them by Him. They should contemplate what their fate will be as a result of the contrary attitude they have adopted. 99-100 The events of the Day of Judgement are portrayed and the Quraysh are reprimanded in a very effective manner for being indifferent to it. 101-102 The law of retribution in substantiated, and, with its reference, the leadership of the Quraysh is threatened of dire consequences on their attitude that now their abode will be a fire which will reach their hearts. 103-104 The Quraysh are reprimanded and threatened with reference to the incident of the elephant and urged

The leadership of the Quraysh is presented with a charge sheet of their crimes and threatened of the punishment they would encounter, and the Prophet (sws) is given glad tidings that the custodianship of the Baytullāh would now be transferred to him from them, and that it is his enemies who would be totally routed in the land of Arabia. 107-108 A declaration of acquittal by the Prophet (sws) from the leaders of the disbelievers of Makkah, and communication of glad tidings to him of the supremacy of the truth in the land of Arabia. 109-110 The destruction of the leaders of the Quraysh, in particular Abū Lahab is predicted by name, and a decisive declaration is made by the Prophet (sws) of the belief of monotheism. 111-112

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. In the first sūrah, the Quraysh are warned of the Day of Judgement while, in the second one, they are warned of the punishment which a people necessarily face if they deny their messenger. Though the Prophet Muh@ammad (sws) is also addressed at various places in these sūrahs, at all places the discourse is actually directed at the leaders of the Quraysh. It is evident from the subject-matter of these sūrahs that they were revealed in Makkah during the phase of indhār of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) mission. The theme of Sūrah Mulk is to explain to the Quraysh that the way this world has come into existence and the reason behind it show that it will necessarily culminate on the Day of Judgement. Therefore, by disregarding this day they should not take themselves to the point when they will have no option but to confess their crimes and face its consequences. They should be fearful of the Almighty Who can seize them even now in any way and at any time.

The arguments in this sūrah have been mainly drawn from the manifestations and signs of the Almighty’s mercy, power and providence that every person can behold around him. The theme of Sūrah Qalam is to warn the leaders of the Quraysh to not adopt a rebellious and arrogant attitude towards the Book of God and His Prophet (sws). This warning is sounded by comparing the Book presented by the Prophet (sws) and his character with the character of the Quraysh leaders and their presumptive notions. They are told that all their good circumstances, treasured possessions and estates that they take pride in are vulnerable to punishment. They should act sensibly for they have nothing to say. They are indulging in idle talk only because they are being given respite by the Almighty, but it shall not be long before His decree arrives. At the end of the sūrah, the Prophet (sws) is directed to patiently wait for this decree.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The first sūrah cautions the Quraysh about the punishment of the Herein and the Hereafter and the second sūrah warns those people of their fate who made fun of this punishment and demanded to hasten its arrival. Both sūrahs are directed at the leadership of the Quraysh, and it is evident from their subject-matter that, like the previous sūrahs of this group, they were revealed in Makkah during the phase of indhār of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of Sūrah H~āqqah is to substantiate reward and punishment on the Day of Judgement, to mention what will happen on that day and to warn its addressees of the consequences of denying the warnings sounded by the Qur’ān about it. The theme of Sūrah Ma‘ārij is to warn those people of their fate who were making fun of these consequences and were asking to hasten their advent, to urge the Prophet (sws) to persevere against these people and to tell the disbelievers that Paradise is the reward of good deeds: a person who is devoid of these deeds, even if he is from the most noble of the

The prophets of God do not come to disclose this time; they only come to communicate the message of the Almighty. Instead of asking for this punishment, the Quraysh should ask for the Almighty’s mercy. For this, they should stop being arrogant and hostile to the Prophet (sws); instead, they should acknowledge and accept his message and in the House of God, worship God only.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful. We had sent forth Noah as a Messenger to his people [with the directive]: “Warn your people before there comes to them a grievous penalty.” He said: “O my People! I am to you a very clear warner. [I urge you] to worship God and remain within the limits set by Him and obey me. [As a result of this,] the Almighty shall forgive your [previous] sins and shall give you respite till an appointed time. Indeed, when the time appointed by God comes it cannot be put off. Would that you understood [this]!” (1-4) [He kept on calling them to this message but they did not pay any heed until at last] he said: “O Lord! Day and night I have called these people of mine but my calls have only added to their aversion.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The first sūrah directs the Prophet (sws) to prepare himself for bearing the burden of a heavy responsibility, while the second one explains this responsibility: after indhār (warning), the first phase of his preaching mission, he should now launch the next phase of indhār-i ‘ām (open warning) to his people. Both sūrahs are addressed to the Prophet (sws) and also to his addressees: the leadership of the Quraysh. It is evident from the subject-matter of these sūrahs that with their revelation in Makkah began the phase of indhār-i ‘ām of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of Sūrah Muzzammil is to direct the Prophet (sws) to abandon his state of sorrow resulting from the reaction of his people and prepare to bear the burden of a heavy responsibility, and to admonish the leadership of the Quraysh that they have very little time left; if they do not mend their ways, they should get ready to face the consequences.

responsibility of indhār-i ‘ām to the Prophet (sws) with its requirements and limits and to threaten and rebuke his addressees that the Day of Judgement the Prophet (sws) has now been directed to openly warn them of must not be regarded by them as something trivial. It is a day which will not be easy upon its rejecters and it is a reality which can neither be denied nor evaded through any intercession whatsoever.

We have in store [for them] heavy fetters and a blazing fire, and choking food and a painful torment also on the day when the earth and the mountains shall tremble violently and the mountains shall be as if they are disbanding heaps of sand. (1-14) To you [O Quraysh of Makkah!] We have sent forth a Messenger as a witness to you just as We had sent a Messenger to the Pharaoh. Then as the Pharaoh disobeyed that Messenger, We seized him with a dreadful punishment. So, if you also deny, then how will you save yourselves from the day which shall turn the children old.

We had enjoined upon you to stand by night.] Your Lord well knows that sometimes you stand almost two thirds of the night [before him], sometimes half and sometimes one third of it, and so does a group among your companions. God alone [keeping in regard the need of people] appoints the day and night in due measure. He knew that you people would not be able to follow this [routine]. So, He turned towards you mercifully. Hence, recite now from this Qur’ān [in this prayer] as much as you are able to. He knows that there will be those among you who will be sick and others who will be travelling to seek the bounty of God and some others who will be fighting for the cause of God. So, recite from this as much as is possible, and [during the day and night] adhere diligently to the prayer and pay zakāh, and [for the cause of your religion and state] lend to God a befitting loan.

Then he looked [around him]. Then he frowned and scowled. Then he turned away in scornful pride. Then said: “This is nothing but a magic [of eloquent words; the same] which is being handed down from the past.

And this [narrative] is just a reminder for man. (31) [This is not a matter to be made fun of or asked to be hastened.] Certainly not! The moon bears witness and the night also when it turned its back and the morning when it shines forth that this matter [of the Day of Judgement] is from among the great matters [narrated] to warn man, for every person who wants to advance forward [to accept it] or wants to turn away [from it after denying it]. Every soul [on that day] shall be held in pledge for its deeds except the people of the right hand. They will be in gardens. They will be inquiring from each other about these wrongdoers. [They will ask:] “What has brought you into Hell?” They will reply: “[To our misfortune] we were not among those who prayed nor did we feed the poor; we used to quibble with these quibblers and used to deny the Day of Reckoning till there came the moment of certainty.” (32-47)

At that time, no intercession of their intercessors will be of any use to them. So what then is the matter with them that they are turning away from this reminder, as though they are frightened asses fleeing from a lion? Each one of them, in fact, desires that [instead of a prophet sent forth], he be handed open scrolls. Certainly not! [This never happened nor will it ever happen in the future]; in fact [the truth is that] they have no fear of the Day of Judgement. [Do not go after them,] never! This is only a reminder. So let him who wants take heed – and they will not take heed unless God [according to His law] so wants – [then let him who wants take heed]. He alone is pious and worthy of being forgiven by his Lord. (48-56)

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The first sūrah substantiates the Day of Judgement by the testimony of the reproaching soul, while the second by the divine inspiration of good and evil in a person’s soul. The element of warning is prominent in the first sūrah whereas that of glad tidings in the second. The sūrahs basically address the leadership of the Quraysh and it is evident from their subject-matter that like the previous sūrahs they were also revealed in Makkah in the phase of indhār-i ‘ām of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The central theme of both sūrahs is to substantiate the Day of Judgement and to warn the Quraysh with its reference.

[They fed them with the intention:] “We are feeding you for the sake of God only. No reward do we desire from you nor gratitude. We dread from our Lord a day, grim and distressful.” So, God saved them from the affliction of that day and bestowed them with freshness and joy, and as reward for being patient [in this world] gave them a garden [to live in] and robes of silk [to wear].

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The first sūrah substantiates the Day of Judgement through evidence found in the world around man, historical events and the signs of power and wisdom of the Almighty in the creation of man, while the second one validates this claim, in particular, through various manifestations of God’s providence in the world around man. In both the sūrahs, alongside arguments, an element of reprimand and admonition is evident from every verse. The sūrahs are directed at the leadership of the Quraysh, and it is evident from their subject-matter that, like the previous sūrahs, they were also revealed in Makkah in the phase of indhār-i ‘ām of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of both sūrahs is to validate the Day of Judgement, and to warn the Quraysh with its reference.

No one has the authority to speak on His behalf on the day when Gabriel and the angels will stand arrayed [before Him].

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. In the first sūrah, the attitude on which the leadership of the Quraysh has been warned is condemned in the wake of an event in the second sūrah in such a severe tone that anger seems to be exuding from every verse of it. In the second sūrah, though the Prophet (sws) is also apparently addressed, but deliberation shows that both sūrahs are directed at the arrogant leadership of the Quraysh, and it is evident from their subject-matter that, like the previous sūrahs, they were also revealed in Makkah in the phase of indhāri ‘ām of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. In the first sūrah, arguments on the actual theme are presented from the various signs in the world around man and from history. In the second sūrah, along with evidence from the world around man, the testimony of the various signs of God’s power and wisdom found in the creation of man is also presented. The theme of both the sūrahs is to substantiate the

And ask him: ‘Do you desire to purify yourself? Shall I show you the way to your Lord that you may fear Him?’” Then he [went to the Pharaoh and] showed him the great sign but he denied it and disobeyed. Then he turned to his activities, gathered people and called out. He said: “It is I Who is your supreme Lord.” At last, God seized him in the chastisement of both the Herein and the Hereafter. [People!] There is surely a great lesson in this [account] for those who fear.

After that, He spread the earth, brought forth from it its water and its fodder, and set firm its mountains [over it] as a means of sustenance for you and for your cattle.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. In the first sūrah, the basis of argument is the awareness of good and evil found in human nature, and in the second, the manifest signs in the world around man form this basis. Both sūrahs are directed at the leadership of the Quraysh, and it is evident from their subject-matter that like the previous sūrahs they were also revealed in Makkah in the phase of indhār-i ‘ām of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The central theme of both sūrahs is to warn the Quraysh of any misconception they may have about the Day of Judgement. Most surely, they are going to be raised up on that day to appear before their Lord and shall definitely meet different fates according to their deeds.

Devastation for the cheaters; these who exact full measure when they take from others, but when they measure or weigh for others give less than what is due. Do they not believe that they will be raised up one day for the presence on a great day? The day when people will stand before the Lord of the worlds.

(18-28) [And there were days when] these sinners used to laugh at the believers. They used to make gestures with their eyes when they passed them by. When they returned to their people, they would return jesting. And when they saw them, they would say: “These indeed are the strayed ones.” [They claim to be reformers,] whereas they were not sent to be their guardians. But today the believers are laughing at these disbelievers, reclining on thrones witnessing their fate – Why! Have not these disbelievers been duly rewarded for what they did? (29-36) _____________

[Why should he be left with his misdeeds and not called to account?] His Lord was ever watching over him. (6-15) Therefore, this is not so. I present as witness the glow of the sunset, and the night and the way it gathers, and the moon when it grows full that you also shall [in a similar way] necessarily ascend gradually [to appear before your Lord].

In fact, [strangely enough] these disbelievers, on the contrary, are denying; yet God knows full well what they are accumulating. So [O Prophet!] Give them glad tidings of a painful doom. For those, however, there is an eternal reward [there] who believed and did righteous deeds. (20-25)

In the first sūrah, the bases of the argument are the signs and manifestations in the world around man and in established historical facts. In the second one, besides the signs and manifestations in the world around man, the signs of the Almighty’s power and wisdom in man’s creation are presented as evidence. Both sūrahs are directed at the leadership of the Quraysh, and it is evident from their subject-matter that, like the previous sūrahs, they were also revealed in Makkah in the phase of indhār-i ‘ām of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of both sūrahs is to refute the scepticism of the Quraysh regarding the Day of Judgement and to warn them that their oppression of the believers and their evil schemes against the Prophet (sws) are about to meet their fate. They have been ensnared by the respite given to them. They do not have any more time left.

The Prophet (sws) is assured that he has no responsibility beyond reminding and cautioning the disbelievers.

God will soon take heed, and only that most wretched person will evade it who will enter the Great Fire. Then he will neither die nor live in it. (9-13) However, successful shall be he who purified [himself] and [for this] he remembered his Lord’s name, then prayed. (14-15) [People! you do not have any sound reason.] In fact, you give preference to this worldly life in spite of the fact that the life to come is better and more lasting also. [Then this is not anything new]: it is written in the earlier scriptures as well – the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. (16-19)

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful. Has the news of the great calamity reached you which will over spread [the whole world]? Many a face on that day will be downcast, worn out, exhausted. They will enter the blazing fire. They will be given to drink from a seething spring. Their only food will be thorny dry grass, which will neither nourish them nor satisfy their hunger. (1-7) [On the other hand,] many a face on that day will be radiant, pleased with their endeavours in a lofty garden. They will not hear any absurd talk there. In it will be a running spring, high thrones, goblets set forth, carpets arranged and cushions spread all over. (8-16)

And do they not look at the mountains – how they have been set firm? And do they not see the earth –how it has been spread out. (17-20) [If they do not believe in spite of this,] then just remind them [O Prophet]! Your duty is only to remind; you are not to force them.

Both these two sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. Both address the leaders of the Quraysh, yet aversion and indifference exudes from their style of address. A study of their subject-matter shows that, like the previous sūrahs, they were also revealed in Makkah in the phase of indhār ‘ām of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of both the sūrahs is to reprimand the leaders of the Quraysh for the rebellious attitude and arrogant behaviour they had adopted with regard to God and their fellow human beings after being bestowed with favours and riches.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The first sūrah mentions rather concisely the pathways that lead to doom and success in the Hereafter, while the second one actually describes these pathways. Both address the leaders of the Quraysh but the style of address exudes evasion from them. It is evident from their subjects that like the previous sūrahs, they were also revealed in Makkah in the phase of indhār-i ‘ām of the Prophet’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of Sūrah Shams is to warn, on the basis of the law of retribution, the leaders of the Quraysh of their rebellious and arrogant attitude towards the Prophetic mission. The theme of Sūrah Layl is the illustration of the pathways mentioned concisely in Sūrah Shams as ٰ ۡ ۡ ﻣﻦ ٰز¾¶ﻬﺎ و ۡ (he succeeded who purified ۡ ﻗﺪ ۡﻓﻠح ﻣﻦ دﺳ¶ﻬﺎ ﻗﺪ ﺧﺎب his soul and he failed who corrupted it).

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful. Have We not opened up your heart for you? And not relieved you of your burden that was breaking your back? And for your sake not augmented your voice? (1-4) Therefore, [rest assured,] with this difficulty [you are now facing], a great ease [awaits you]. With this difficulty, a great ease [awaits you].

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The law of retribution which is validated by the first sūrah is used to warn a prominent chief of the Quraysh in the second one. He is informed that if he does not mend his ways, he shall become a victim of this unchanging law. Both sūrahs apparently address the Prophet (sws); however, a little deliberation shows that the actual addressees are the leaders of the Quraysh whose defiant and rebellious attitude was now reaching its extreme. It is evident from the subject-matter of the sūrahs that they were revealed in Makkah, just before the Prophet’s migration to Madīnah, in the phase of itmām al-h@ujjah of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of Sūrah Tīn is to validate the Day of Judgement and to warn the Quraysh with its reference that the truth has now been communicated in a conclusive manner; hence, they have nothing with them but stubbornness and obstinacy to deny it. The theme of Sūrah Alaq is to sound a note of severe warning and threat to an eminent leader of the

Sūrah Qadr (97) – Sūrah Bayyinah (98)

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The first sūrah highlights the exalted status of the Qur’ān while the second one warns its deniers of their dire end. Both sūrahs are primarily directed at the Quraysh. However, in the second sūrah, the People of the Book have also become prominent because of the objections they were implanting in the minds of the Quraysh in this last phase of the Prophet’s (sws) preaching mission. A look at the subject-matter of the sūrahs shows that like the previous sūrahs, they were also revealed in Makkah during the phase of itmām al-h@ujjah of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission, a little before his migration to Madīnah. The theme of Sūrah Qadr is to explain to the Quraysh that the Qur’ān which is being read out to them by the Prophet (sws) in the form of a Book is not the result of any Satanic inspiration or of the Prophet’s (sws) own fancy; on the contrary, it is a divine scripture which the Almighty has started to reveal in a thorough manner in a night in which great

decisions are implemented in this Universe. Therefore, the Quraysh should not take the Qur’ān lightly. Such towards it can cause eternal loss. The theme of Sūrah Bayyinah is to warn both the Quraysh and the People of the Book on their nonsensical demand that a book be given to them from the Almighty through some messenger who descend on them from the heavens reading it out to them. If they persist with this attitude, they should beware that they will soon become the firewood of Hell.

The theme of Sūrah Humazah is to warn, with reference to this very law, the leadership of the Quraysh of their fate. These leaders were inflicted with the conceit of their wealth and were adamant on showing a rebellious, slanderous and contemptuous attitude towards the Prophet (sws).

Sūrah Fīl (105) - Sūrah Quraysh (106)
w w
Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The first sūrah warns the Quraysh with reference to the Incident of the Elephant to fear God, while the second sūrah urges them to keep in mind the favours they enjoy because of the Baytullāh by leaving aside rebelliousness against God and worshipping Him only. Both the sūrahs are directed at the leadership of the Quraysh. It is evident from their subject-matter that like the previous sūrahs they were also revealed in Makkah in the phase of itmām al-h@ujjah of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission, a little before his migration to Madīnah. The theme of Sūrah Fīl is to inform the Quraysh that the God – Who routed His enemies in this manner before them – will also not spare them now that they too have shown enmity to Him. They will also be devastated in a similar manner. The theme of Sūrah Quraysh is to urge the Quraysh to at least recognize their obligation to the Lord of the House – Who has blessed them with the favours of peace and sustenance – that they should worship Him and serve Him alone in this world.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The first sūrah mentions the crimes of the leadership of the Quraysh, particularly of Abū Lahab, while the second one declares their deposition from the custodianship of the Baytullāh because of these crimes.

Sūrah Mā‘ūn is directed at the Quraysh, and its theme is to inform their leadership, in particular Abū Lahab, of the doom that has been destined for them because of their crimes. Sūrah Kawthar is addressed to Muh@ammad (sws), and its theme is to give glad tidings that the custodianship of the Baytullāh shall now be transferred to him, and his enemies shall be totally routed from the face of the earth.

Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject matter. The first is a declaration of the Prophet’s renunciation of the Quraysh while the second gives glad tidings of divine help and victory to him. It is evident from their subject-matter that they were revealed in Makkah at the end of the phase of migration and acquittal of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. Sūrah Kāfirūn is directed at the Quraysh, and its theme is to declare renunciation by the Prophet (sws) from the leadership of the Quraysh. Such renunciation, in accordance with the Almighty’s law about His messengers, necessarily becomes a prelude to the dominance of the truth. Surah Nas@r is addressed to Prophet Muh@ammad (sws), and its theme is to give glad tidings to him about the supremacy of Islam in the Arabian peninsula, and, consequently, to direct him to prepare for his meeting with the Almighty.

Sūrah Lahab – Sūrah Ikhlās@@ (111-112)
w w
Both these sūrahs form a pair with regard to their subject-matter. The first sūrah portrays destruction of the leadership of the Quraysh, while the second is the decisive declaration of that belief whose rejecters are predicted to be destroyed. The necessary consequence of the battle between polytheism and monotheism which as a result of the preaching of the Prophet Muh@ammad (sws) took place in Arabia, was that polytheism be obliterated and monotheism reign supreme in the whole of the Arabian Peninsula. Both these sūrahs state this consequence with full certainty. Viewed thus, the subject of migration and renunciation and of victory and glad tidings of the future, which began in Sūrahs Mā‘ūn and Kawthar, has reached its culmination in these two sūrahs. At the same time, a little deliberation shows that the whole message of the Qur’ān has also reached its culmination here, and in Sūrah Ikhlās@, which is actually the last sūrah of the Qur’ān regarding its subject-matter, a declaration is made of placing the cornerstone of monotheism, which is the foundation of its message, at its actual

place. This declaration is also found at other places of the Qur’ān; however, this brief and comprehensive sūrah was revealed so that its opponents hear it day and night and its followers memorize it to always keep its message fresh in their minds. Both sūrahs are directed at the Quraysh, and it is evident from their subject-matter that they were revealed in Makkah at the end of the phase of migration and acquittal of the Prophet Muh@ammad’s (sws) preaching mission. The theme of Sūrah Lahab is the proclamation of the destruction of the leadership of the Quraysh, in particular that of Abū Lahab. The theme of Sūrah Ikhlās@ is the decisive declaration of the belief of monotheism which is the cornerstone of the message of the Qur’ān.

Both these sūrahs are a supplication for the completion of the Qur’ān and form a pair in every respect. That is why they are jointly called the mu‘awwadhatayn. However, the style of the first sūrah is predominantly argumentative while in the second one there exists a strong element of appeal to invoke the mercy of the Almighty. Both are addressed to the Prophet (sws) and it is evident from their subject-matter that they were revealed after the Prophet’s (sws) migration to Madīnah when beholding the success of the Prophet’s preaching mission, the Jews and the Quraysh, as well as the jinn and men from the progeny of Satan, were preparing to launch an offensive against him. The theme of both sūrahs is to urge the Prophet (sws) that to safeguard himself and his mission, he should seek refuge of the Almighty from all the calamities of the world and from the harm that can be inflicted by all creatures, since it is He alone who can actually give refuge to people from all harms and calamities. A little deliberation shows that this subject-matter of

these sūrahs directs the attention of every keen reader to Sūrah Fātih@ah, the opening sūrah of the Qur’ān, in which a person acknowledges monotheism and earnestly prays to his Lord to show him the right path. The Qur’ān is actually a reply to this prayer as it explains this right path until it reaches its completion through the most comprehensive expression of monotheism in Sūrah Ikhlās@. After that come these sūrahs in which a person once again, through the attributes of the Almighty, prays for his protection from every bandit present on the path of monotheism and for his safety in the ups and downs of this path. The affinity this closing part of the Qur’ān has with its beginning cannot remain hidden to any person of insight.
