Qur’an Commentaries

Surah As-Saffat, Chapter 37

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

Verses 1 – 21

1. I swear by the congregation (of Prophets, angels and devotees unto Me).

2. (I swear) by those who prevent the devils from soaring high.

3. (I swear) by those who read out the Glorious Qur’an to the Prophet, as commands from Me.

4. Verily your Providence is Unique, alone, by Himself (in the creation and its administration).

5. Providence of the Heavens and Earth and in between and the Providence of the East.

6. Verily, have We adorned the skies over the earth with stars.

7. And protected them from every strong-headed devil.



8. Who cannot overhear the angels, high above, and who dart towards them from every direction, as shooting stars

9. to drive them off and for them is ever-lasting punishment

10. except one who steals away the communication and is persecuted by Our flaming stars.

11. Ask (associators of Mecca), whether as creatures, they are stronger than their forefathers (whom We destroyed under disobedience). Verily have We created them out of slimy earth.

12. Rather, you are surprised (at their not believing) and ridiculing the Glorious Qur’an.

13. And when they are advised by it, they do not take a lesson.

14. And when they see any miracle they hoot it out.

19. Verily their rising (from the graves) will be only due to a single siren call (by Israfeel) when they will awaken and be looking (at the events)

20. and will say, “Alas! This is the Judgment Day.”1

21. This is the Day you were falsifying for dispensation of Divine Justice.

Moral

The actions are always to be judged by immutable standard of right and wrong, but judgment will consider age, country, station, and other accidental circumstances. Judgment is like a pair of scales and evidence is like weights, and Divine Will shall hold the balance, with a slight jerk of a proof of Divine affection and of Divine Lights, it will be sufficient in many cases to make the lighter scale appear the heavier. Never forget the Day of Judgment.

Keep it always in view and frame your actions and plans with a reference to its unchanging decision (depending on Divine Love and of Divine Lights). Love implies obedience – (note carefully) acts due to admixture of filthy earth may be liable, yet proof of Divine Love, causing mental pain for their issue and penance may lead judgment to relaxation.

32. “We misguided you, for verily we ourselves were misguided.”

33. Verily on that day they will participate in punishment.

34. We treat offenders similarly.

35. Verily these are those who turned their faces when it was told to them there was none but God to overrule them.3

56. When suddenly he will say, “By God, you would have also destroyed me.

57. “Had it not been for Divine Mercy, I would have been present in hell with you.”

57. What! Were not among the dead who died in the world

59. except in our first death’s stage, and are you not among the punished (about which you were falsifying).

60. Verily, this is a mighty achievement.

61. To gain which every attempt should be made by one (who desires to achieve it).

62. Is this entertainment better or a bitter tree.

1.They will hear the Divine Reply.

2.Five questions: (1) How was your youth rendered old? (2) How was your life consumed? (3) How was your property collected and spent? (4) How was your knowledge put to practical conduct? and (5) Did you bear affection to Divine Lights?

3.God is too Great to be withstood, too Just to wrong, too Good to delight in anyone’s misery. We are, therefore, to quietly submit to His dispensation at the very best. Avoid, therefore, the devil’s urging you to do against Divine Will. he is laughing at your sneering at others, which raises your emotions of rage and fear, and when you frown of hatred darkly falls, hope will wither and mercy shall bid farewell. Do not eject anyone under wrath, and be not inflated with your worldly position.

Remember (1) “humility and love” are roots, mother, nurse, and foundation of bond of virtue. (2) Do not entertain “mental misgivings” and (3) impede not the faithful to do righteous deeds, and (4) assault not the weak, (5) and adopt no cunning and knavery to the simple, by laying out a snare, wherein shall you shall entrapped, and (6) desire not honour, like the proud, and (7) wealth, like the covetous, and (8) revenge not like the malicious, and (9) seek not pleasure of Epicurean, (10) and beauty like the wanton, in opposition to Divine Will. Be wise (11) in desiring no more than what justice demands. (12)

Use it soberly, with modesty and humility of mind and with temperateness and chastity of body and (13) distribute its excess cheerfully and (14) live contentedly. (15) do not take a fancy to worldly curiosity, (16) getting into the devil’s army, (17) rendering him service and partnership. (18) Remember his befriending you is dragging you to hell.

4.This hunger shall over-power their own pain.

5.Noah had three sons: Sam with whom remained prophetship as a Divine Light. The other two, Yafth and Ham took to disobedience for sovereignty of the world. This is a consolation to our Prophet.

6.Having acknowledged sovereignty of the Prophet and his Immaculate Family.

7.wherein he proved his sincerity to God.

8.As he was not satisfied with an exchange of a goat’s sacrifice, after ascertaining his affection for the Prophet Md: outweighed his love for his own life.

9.Which was to follow in the case of Imam Hussain where he was to be butchered by the very fellows who claimed to be Prophet Mohammad’s followers? This would grieve Abraham all the more entitling him to a greater reward.

10.This is the reason why the goat’s sacrifice is an obligation for the pilgrims, at Meena, every year, and generally all over the Muslim world annually.

11.This is a special Divine privilege of Divine Peace on the 14 Divine Lights.

12.On tempest rising, mariners to determine who was the sinner.

13.Jonah , at the age of 30 was sent to Ninevah to warn its inhabitants. Under 33 years preaching he could secure only two followers in Rubel, a philosopher and Tunukha, a devotee. Being unsuccessful to get more followers under Tanuka’s advice, he (Jonah) prayed for the punishment of his tribe and left them in indignation. However, upon Rubel’s planning, although Divine disaster as desired by Jonah approached, but was averted and Prophet Jonah was exhorted for his haste as above.

14.By penance under Rubel’s guidance

15.Divine Lights.

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

Verses 1 – 14

1. By the (Heavenly) spring and the Glorious Qur’an, full of advice.

2. The infidels, rather, are in doubt, owing to their (vain) pride and prejudice.

3. How many preceding generations have been destroyed before them when they cried for rescue? There was no time (being too late for penance, on seeing Divine Punishment).

4. They were surprised that one amongst them claimed to be Divinely inspired (as a warner) and the infidels said, “This man is a magician and a liar.”

5. Has he mixed up all our different gods in one? Verily this is marvellous.

6. The ring leaders said, “Let us go on worshipping our gods.” This is one of the planned actions.

7. We have not heard of such a thing in the old religion. “This is nothing but a made up falsehood.”

8. What! Has the Qur’an been revealed only unto him amongst us? Rather, they are in doubt about My Text. Rather, they have not tasted My punishment.

9. Or have they treasures of mercy of your Providence the Mighty Endower?

10. Or have they sovereignty of the heavens and the Earth and between? Let them, if so, soar above (and interfere in My administration).

11. This is a group which is not yet destroyed.

12. Previous to this, tribes of Noah, ‘Ad and Pharaoh – the peg driver.

13. Thamood and the tribe of Lot and woodlanders, these were the groups (destroyed heretofore).

14. None of them were but who falsified their prophets to substantiate punishment on them.

Moral

Prophets, having been raised among them, by God, duly trained, have been a continuous cause of creating doubt as to their being “Genuine Divine Lights.” It has been repeatedly pointed out. Man would not have taken social behaviour with an angel or an animal or any one sent by God, from Heaven, not belonging to his species. The devil thus created jealously in them, by eulogizing worldly pursuits, belittling Eternity.

In Couplet 11 it is distinctly stated the Prophet’s followers for falsifying him and his family as Divine Lights have not yet been punished like those of the preceding Prophets.

Verses 15 – 26

15. They are not waiting but a siren note when they will not get an opportunity to come to sense under penance being too late.

21. Has the case of the two contesting angels come to you? When they entered his (David’s_ prayer room, in disputation, crossing the wall

22. they said to David, who was surprised (for their having entered against strict guard), “Do not be confounded; we are two litigants, having claim, one against the other. Decide justly our case and do not be unfair and guide us to the right path.”

23. One of them said, “He, my brother, has 99 goats and I have one, which he demands also, in a threatening tone, for himself.”

24. David said, “Verily your brother is unjust in demanding your goat, in spite of holding so many, and most partners deal unfairly with their co-partners, except the faithful who are virtuous in their dealings, and these are few in number. David realized (later) We had tested him and he prayed forgiveness from his Providence and fell in prostration, while directing himself under penance (for having made a statement without thrashing out the case).

25. We forgave him for this act of his and he had a close proximity to Us, and a high grade.

26. Oh David, We have made you (Our) representative on Earth. Do justice among men, and not follow passion else you will be diverted from the Divine Path, for verily those who are led astray from Divine Path have intense punishment for them for having forgotten the Reckoning Day.1

Moral

The two litigants who climbed up the wall were angels in human habitation having come under Divine Command to test David, who without trying their case remarked ex-parte, which was not fair, upon which Divine warning came to him.

Verses 27 – 40

27. We have not created Heaven and Earth in vain which is the idea of infidels for whom, alas, is the fire of hell.

28. What! Are you going to equalize the faithful (like Divine Lights and like minded) who act righteously with the seditionists (i.e. ringleaders of misguidance) on earth?

29. The Book We have revealed unto you is glorious so people should contemplate on its Couplets and only the wise people do contemplate on its couplets ad only the wise take a lesson out of it.

30. And We endowed Solomon a son on David, a virtuous devotee. Verily he was reverting (unto Us).

31. When selected (stand on three legs) horses were presented to him towards dusk (for selection in a crusade.

32. He said, “I preferred the love of horses to saying prayers of the Providence (at a fixed time).”

33. He called back the sun through and said prayers due before sunset by passing his hands over his feet and neck as ablution along with his followers.

34. Verily We tried Solomon and We throw on his bed an attractive child, when he realized he had failed to say D.V. (Divine will in his action) so he directed later to Us.

35. He prayed, “My Providence, forgive me and grant me a kingdom which befits none after me. Verily You are Might at endowment.”

36. We set winds to be at his commands, which were taking him where he chose.

37. And of spirits there were masons and divers.

38. And others kept in jail (for disobedience).

Moral

Solomon’s ace of cutting the horse’s feet and neck is inadmissible, being a major sin for a Divine Light, who is infallible.

Verses 41 – 64

41. And call to mind the history of Job when he cried unto Us “Verily the devil had worried me and troubled me by misgivings.”

42. We commanded, “Kick up with your foot. You will have a bathing place and cool water to drink as well.”

43. And We re-endowed upon him his lost children, with a fresh number likewise as a divine grace, as a piece of advice to the sensible.

46. Verily We had specialized them for their sincere devotion in seeking Eternity.

47. And they were close to Us among the selected virtuous.

48. Recollect Ismail, Yasah and Dhul Kifl, who all were among the selected.

49. This is a reminder (to those seeking Our Will) and verily the devout will have a happy destination.

50. The best of Paradise, i.e. Eden, gates of which shall be open to them.

51. Wherein they shall be reclining against pillows, calling for fruits, variegated and drinks.

52. And near them shall be down looking nymphs of equal age.

53. This is what you have been promised on Reckoning Day (as a reward).

54. Verily this is Our entertainment which is not going to end.

55. This is it for you and for the transgressors shall be an awful residence.

56. This is hell wherein they shall be cast, which is hideous place of resort.

57. This is for them, they will be addressed, “Better taste of hot liquid unpalatable (to taste).”

58. And secondly of like nature other accompaniments shall they have.3

59. And their followers shall enter therein. Be there no relaxation for them, and they are to benadmitted to hell.

60. Followers will respond, “Rather, be no relaxation for as you have set forth this place for us which is an awful destination.”

61. They will pray, “Oh our Providence, better increase double punishment for them who have sent ahead this for us.”

62. And they will say, “What’s up with us! We do not see those whom we deemed rascals.”4

67. He (Ali, the hero of the text) is the greatest of Divine signs.

68. And from whom you are turning away.

69. I not know on what point angels were struggling about in the heavens (Divine Representatives on earth).

70. It is nothing but it is revealed to me as I am an open warner.

71. Recollect when our Providence informed the angels, He was going to create a man from dust.

72. “And when I make him fit and blow unto him a special selected soul, you kneel don unto him in prostration (in recognition of your fealty unto him).”

73. And the angels knelt down in prostration.

74. Except Satan who turned away and was among the infidels.

75. When I called upon Satan to explain why he refused to prostrate before one I created of My Will? Did you do it out of pride or were you one among those of exalted nature?

76. He replied he was superior to him being created of fire against him created of dust.

77. Upon which God commanded, “Get out from here, you are cursed.”

78. And on you shall be My curse until the day of Judgment.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

1.How frequently (no less than 90 times) did the Khalifa the Second decide unjustly but for Ali when uttered “Had it not been for Ali Omar would have been verily ruined.

2.Continuous downpour of Divine bounties kept Job ever acknowledging them, which led Satan to pray to God to let him try Job. If he remains grateful, even amidst adversities, when he would be worthy of recommendation God consented to let him try him, except on his reason. This resulted in lost of his immense property and children, but Job tolerated them patiently. Later, the devil attacked his body, which led his followers to suspect him, upon which Job appealed to God to be merciful to him. When his wife offered her hair to relieve his pain when Job swore to beat her.

3.These couplets refer to Bani Umayyah and also unauthorized successors of the Prophet.

4.Shias of mischievous nature cursing our leaders.

5.Of the emergence of the 12th Divine Light.

6.Just as the devil did not realize in Adam, Divine Light being Divinely trained and he judged him only from his physical composition (he viewed), so all the earthly creatures who have seen the prophets being born on earth, overlooked their special training as Divine Lights by every kind of sin. They began to become jealous of them and refused to admit their leadership after their ringleader, Satan, to whom they easily fell a prey.

2. Verily have We revealed it to you with definite motive, pray unto Him sincerely (in all affairs).

3. Beware, implicit obedience is justifiable unto Him alone. Those who have taken, barring Him, as their lord – they do not pray to them, except with a view to intercede on their behalf to Us.

Verily shall God decide, amongst them, the differences they hold (in faith). Certainly God does not guide a misguided sect.

4. Had God desired to adopt a son, he would have selected one among the creatures He liked. Pure is He, as God the Omnipotent.

5. He created Heaven and Earth with a definite object and brings night to follow the day and day to follow the night and has caused the sun and the moon to revolve, all revolving for a definite time. Beware; He is the Omnipotent and Mighty at Forgiveness.

6. He created you all out of one (Adam) and then made partners thereof and created for you from animals eight pairs, and created in a womb of your mother’s embryo, guarding it in three gloomy chambers of the abdomen, uterus, placenta. This is your God, Lord of the entire kingdom. There is no other God save He. Where are you going astray?

7. If you deny and (not thank Him), verily God is independent (of your worship). But He does not approve of your infidelity, whereas if you thank Him, He will be pleased with you, and none is going to carry the load of sins of others (and after death) have you to revert unto Him, when He will point you out, how you were behaving. Verily He is acquainted with the secretes of hearts.

8. When calamity approaches man, he prolongs his prayers, and when he is endowed with bounties to boot forgets Him altogether whom he prayed for salvation before that and starts associating (others with God) to misguide others from His path. Say, “Enjoy with your worldly gifts by your infidelity, verily you are of Hell.1

9. Is he who is constant, day and night, in prayers, prostrating and standing and fearing eternity and hoping in Divine grace alike him who knows not? Verily this fact is appreciated by the sensible.2

Moral

Embryo as it is born is guarded in the placenta lying in the uterus within the abdominal cavity, where it is nourished under the blood of the menses as water grows vegetation, until it is fit to suckle milk which is reconverted from blood, apart from excreta. Such is the Might design of the Almighty.

Verses 10 – 21

10. Say, “Oh you faithful fear God, your Providence. He who acts virtuously in this world has in Eternity Paradise for him and God’s earth is extensive (for you to select worshipping Him freely when you are constrained otherwise). There is nothing but the patient shall be rewarded without accounting.3

11. Say, “I am of course ordained to obey God sincerely.

12. And I am further constrained to be the first among those who have embraced Divine covenant.

13. Say, “I am afraid of the great Reckoning day if I disobey Him.

14. So, I pray to God sincerely away from all deviations (which are the outcome of mental misgivings).”

15. You pray whom you like, barring Him. Verily among losers shall be those who have so acted and brought their families to this stage (of destruction) on Reckoning Day. Lo! This is an evident loss.

16. For them alone is fire above and below. Thus frightens God His creatures. Oh my creatures fear (Me).

17. Those who forsake praying unto (the devil – everything except theocracy) non-god and are directing themselves to God, for them is tidings. Give my creatures this good news.

17. Those who listen to the word of advice, following truth, apart from falsehood, are only those whom God has guided and are sensible.

19. One on whom Divine punishment is settled, how can you set him free who is already condemned to tell.

20. But those who fear God, their Providence, have high chambers of Paradise for them, so solidly built below which flow canals. This is Divine promise and God shall not contravene His promise.

21. Did you not notice God sent rains from clouds from which run out streams on Earth and wherefrom grow variegated crops different in colour and then turn pale, then He breaks them to pieces. Verily in this is advice for the sensible.

Moral

The main view is maintenance of Theocracy by following Divine Lights without any external physical force but throughout reasonable approach – against political powers of divergent conflicting ideologies justifying claims of their government, on their own principles to maintain peace and welfare of the public (not all) – but a major part in itself is fundamentally untenable – some sticking to Panch Shilla, desirous of maintaining their holdings without tolerating foreign interference whereas God claims the entire

Heaven and Earth as being His property.

Validity of this claim fails to appeal to religious reason. Others offer money, men and materials to draw to themselves, for their personal protection out of present self-sufficiency. But their guarantee extends to this world only whereas this is simply a journey and ultimate destination shall be settled after death. Of what avail is this bait? The ultimate result of all this is emergence of One Great Power (of Divine Lights) under Divine Nomination to dominate the rest (whom some faiths claim “The Supreme God sometimes takes human form). This is association leading to Hell.

Verses 22 – 31

22. Is he whose chest God has expanded to admit Islamic Laws and is on enlightened path of God like the other who is otherwise? Sad is it for them whose hearts are hardened from Divine Remembrance, who are in open misguidance.4

23. God has revealed an excellent Book, couplets of which are repeated and by reading of which bodies of those who fear their Providence throb. Then their bodies and hearts are softened to remember God, and this is guidance with which He guides whom He likes, and whom He forsakes, he has no other guide.

24. Is one who is afraid of intensity of punishment like the disobedient, who will savour punishment of his doings?

24. Their predecessors falsified, so came to them their punishment whence they had no idea.

26. God caused them to savour disgraceful punishment of the world, and that of Reckoning Day, shall be more intensive, provided they realize.

27. Verily in this Qur’an have We exemplified every kind of ease so they may take a lesson.

28. The Qur’an, which is written in Arabic, has no defect. By following it they will become pious.

29. God has (in the text) exemplified a case of a servant serving a party of varying temperaments (ideologies) and another who is safe against such masters, serving One (Supreme) God only.

What! Are they both alike? (Certainly not). Thank God, but most of them do not realize.

30. Verily you will die and they too.

31. When you will, on Reckoning Day, comes fighting for your rights (viz. Bani Umayyah and Bani Hashim) before your Creator.5

Moral

Theocracy has advanced an argument, overthrowing all other political ideologies.

Verses 32 – 41

32. Who can be a greater disobedient than he who falsifies God and Truth (Divine Light and Text) when it came to him? Is not therefore hell a fit abode for infidels?

33. He who came with Truth^6 and he who confirmed the Truth^7 are both pious^8

34. they shall have (power of intercession, etc.) what they will, before their Providence, and this is the reward of the obliging.

35. So God may separate them, far apart, for those who have associated and rewarded them their worth better than they have acted (as a matter of grace).

36. Is not God enough to protect His creatures? They threaten you with any other than Him (Who is Omnipotent), whom God forsakes, none can guide.

37. And him whom God guides, none can misguide. Is not God enough to avenge (the misguided)?

38. When you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, verily they will say, “God.” Tell them, “You see, you call those save God,” if latter (God) intends h arming your gods, is there anyone who can divert His injury? Or if God intends to favour anyone with His grace, is there anyone to bar His grace? Say, “Depend upon God, on Whom depend those who depend.”

39. Say, “You members of the sect, act in your place what you choose, and I shall act in my place. Shortly, shall you see the result of action.

40. As to whom comes disgraceful punishment and upon whom befalls lasting Divine Wrath.

41. Verily have We revealed unto thee a Book for the people with sincere intention. He who is guided benefits self, and he who remains misguided is due to his own acts, and you are not their safeguard.

Moral

The virtuous stated in Couplet 33 above are qualified (1) by Truth, (2) by honesty, (3) by trustworthiness, (4) by less priding, (5) by forbearance, (6) by obligation to relation, (7) by kindness to the poor, (8) by minimum mingling with ladies, (9) by charitable disposition, and (10), by courteous behaviour. Any difference from the above will result in the difference of grades of the virtuous.

Verses 42 – 52

42. God removes the energy of the soul (kinetic) (call nafs) during death of man and during sleep, when net dead, holds back, if he is destined to die (for the soul to meet I and returns it otherwise, if he is to be alive (upon which the sleeping man awakes). Verily in this are signs for those who meditate.9

43. What! Have they taken barring God those (non-authorized) who shall intercede on their behalf? Say, “Even if they have neither power nor posses anything, will they interfere in interceding?”

44. Say, “All power of (granting) intercession lies with God, without Whose sanction, none dare intercede. He is the sole proprietor of the heavens and the earth and to Him shall they revert.

45. When they are reminded of theocracy^10 their hearts became stiff, who have no faith in the Future State, and if spoken of otherwise, they become puffed up out of joy.

46. Say, “Oh God, Creator of the heavens and the earth, and Knower of secrets and open, You shall decide among Your creatures in maters they dispute.”

47. If those who have falsified11shall have everything of earth and equivalent thereto to boot, to offer in lieu of their disobedience, in this world from evils of punishment of Reckoning Day, it shall be manifest to them, it shall not be accepted^12

48. It will be manifest to them, the punishment, which all be meted out to them, for their actions they have done, will envelope them, regarding which they were humbugging.

49. When any calamity befalls man, he (man) prays out long to remove it, and when We endow bounty on him, he begins to say, in which it is due to his knowledge. Rather, this is a trial, but most do not appreciate the fact.

50. Similarly, said their predecessors and nothing what they achieved could save them from Our wrath and for thanklessness.

51. Wrath befell them for their ungratefulness and similarly shall it befall on them for their ungratefulness and they are not going to withstand Us.

52. Did they not realize, verily God expands provision on whomsoever He likes and contracts otherwise and verily in this are signs for the faithful.

Moral

On plea of search for truth to contribute to public happiness, when Divine Truth has already come to them saying there is no happiness in this world, except under contentment, out of vanity, scientists have refused to resign to religious discipline, to give up experimental technical researches, and have reached a stage in discovery of nuclear fissure, to destroy the very civilization, for maintenance of which they have forsaken “future state,” disregarding Divine Wisdom, which cannot go hand in hand with selfishness, proceeding out of vanity to surpass one another.

Present suggestion of barring this weapon of mass destruction offers no solution, for any nation facing defeat, abandons all scruple, and will use every weapon which could decimate the enemy. Excuses can always be brought forward for use of any diabolical weapon on retaliation. Energy released by fission of one pound is equal to 1500 tons of good coal burnt and one pound deuterium undergoes fusion in a thermo-nuclear reaction equals 10,000 tons of coal. Hydrogen bombs capable of producing explosion equivalent to detonation of two million tons of high explosive are in possession of America and Russia.

Almost every discovery can be used for evil as well as for good.

Even medical sciences have produced the spectre of bacteriological warfare. Were not teachings of Haroot and Maroot, for setting aside evil defects of magic misguided by the then generation? On account of which it was illegal. (Vide footnote (103), page 19 of the first set of this translation). Has not Divine Text given geographical location of Sakar (hell – Vide page five under footnote – regarding which fifth Divine Light “Imam Mohammad Baqir”) said, “There is a mountain in “Sakar” known as “Sawood,” on the top of which is a plain known as “Sakar” in which there is a well, covered with a lid which, if removed, heat there will baffle the inmates of hell and who will raise hue and cry. This well is the residence of tyrants. Why falsify this truth presaged by Divine Lights – for our own benefit? And go on, in vain research of scientific truth against Divine Will? Solution of this entire struggle is in the following paragraph (six) commencing with Couplet No. 54.

The object of creation is to pray to God as per His Will and not think of providing for future generations to come. This is the look out of Providence Himself. This interference is Association leading to Hell. His Will is declared unto Divine Lights. Hence, object of creation is to follow Divine Lights, if Divine Proximity is needed.

Verses 53 – 63

53. Oh you My creatures^13, whoever among you has ruined himself, under disobedience, need not despair of Divine mercy. Verily shall God forgive all true Shias (provided they do penance) for transgressions^14

54. and vainly follow pursuits in vanity. And direct yourself to your Providence, obey Him prior to coming of Divine punishment, when you will not be able to help yourself against it.

55. Follow the best, i.e. safest, wherein are no pitfalls, path of what is revealed unto you form our Providence, prior to coming off punishment suddenly, when you will be unaware.

56. And when you say, “Alas, how neglectful I have been of the Divine Lights (the Infallibles) to get Divine proximity, and have had been among the jesters.”

57. Or you may say, “Had God guided me I would have been among the pious.”

58. Or say on seeing the punishment, “If I had reversion (to the world) I would have been among the virtuous.”

59. Rather did come to you My guidance and you were among the infidels.

60. And you will see the falsifiers of God on Reckoning Day (turned) in black faces. Is not hell a fit home for the proud?

61. And God shall grant salvation to the virtuous for their deeds. No wrong shall touch them and no sorrier shall they be.

62. He is the Creator of all and He is Omnipotent.

63. With him are the keys of the heavens and the earth and those who falsify Him are to suffer.

Moral

Bodily notes, if fully studied, should suffice.

Verses 64 – 70

64. Say, “You ignorant, do you advise me leaving God I should worship anyone else?”

65. Verily have We revealed unto the and thy predecessors, if thou i.e. (they) associate My Commands (transmitted to them by Divine Lights) with other (of their creative mind) their acts shall voided and certainly be among the suffers.

66. Rather pray unto God and be grateful unto Him.

67. You have not appreciated God as per His entity (how can then dare you think of approximating Me without Divine Lights?) (Who are designed to declare Him to you) and the entire earth will be under His control on Dooms Day.

68. When the first siren will blow, all inmates of the heavens and the earth will succumb to death (except Divine Lights and martyrs). When the second siren will blow (after 40 years’ interval) they will rise looking about (to render account).

69. The entire earth will be enlightened by Divine Lights (without presence of the sun and the moon) and books of record be opened out and will come the Prophets and martyrs, to give evidence, ad full justice will be dealt with among them with truth without any drawback.

70. Every soul will get its full due of its actions, and He is fully acquainted with your dealings.

Moral

From 64 above, it is clear, any pursuit against the Prophet’s suggestion of man is proceeding in vanity, be it scientific in Nature or Politically defensible, especially in the holy months when heavenly gates are opened for an easy approach, to simply follow the Devil (Inner Fort) who is simply waiting to draw them to Hell. It is very common among the so-called faithful to see them gossiping – nay, backbiting one another in pursuance of ill-feeling they bear to members of the same faith (and yet hope to claim the same privileges, which Islam offers to them) by following passion and mental misgivings, arising out the devil’s intrigue, against their weakness of faith.

Verses 71 – 75

71. And infidels will be driven in a group, each led by its leader, to hell until they approach its gate (according to its grade) which will be opened to them when the Head guard will address them, “Did not the Prophet come to you and read out to you Commands of your Providence and warn you (on the result of disobedience) of this day?” They would say, “Verily, but came true the word of punishment on the infidels.”

72. In reply he would say, “Better get into it and remain forever.” And it is an awful place of residence.

73. And the virtuous will be led into various paradises.15 Until they arrive at the gates of paradise, which will be opened to them^16 and the angel in charge (Ridhwan) will address them, “Be peace on you, you have become purified and will remain so forever.”

74. And they will say, “Thank God, who fulfilled His promise and made us inheritors^17 to take room wherever we choose, and how fine is the reward of the virtuous.”

75. And you will see the angels circling around the “Arsh) praising their Providence and the entire affair will be settled with justice among them and they will thank God to Whom it is due in entirety.

Moral

Quite clear as to the safety – lying in Divine Awe and following Divine Lights.

1.This refers to the first illegal successor.

2.This solitary couplet refers (1) to the immaculates, (2) their enemies, and (3) followers of Divine lights, the followers of the immaculates, i.e. (1) Lords, Divine Lights, who represent God, transferred Epithets, (2) their enemies who are worse than brutes, (3) vassals, who own fealty to Divine Lights. Thus annual Muharram religious meetings revive their fealty and must be continued until Resurrection.

3.On reckoning Day, those who tried in this world for adhering to prayers and His Commands shall straight march on to the Gates of Paradise, which shall be open to them for admission without having to be detained to render account.

4.Note: The heart is the best logician. If wrong our hearts, our heads are right in vain. “The heart has reason in which reason does not understand.” All our actions take their hue from the complexion of the heart, as la54ndscapes take their variety from light. the heart never grows better by age. A young knave will be a great rogue as he grows older, unless the heart of the rogue is rewarded by Divine Grace under penance. “It is more fatal to neglect the heart than the head.” This is what the present age is doing. With development off experimental and intellectual science, they are ready to ruin humanity by bombs and their progeny too, about whom they are otherwise keen simply for want of purity of heart. Kind hearts are more coronets. Therefore, want and wealth equally harden the human heart, as frost and fire are both alien to human flesh.

Today, unemployment rules all over and wealth has cornered to the East viz. America, who to win over on its sides, advances money and materials, thus proving its own weakness, against theocracy, which is Omnipotent and Independence.

9.Man’s principle framework consists of body and soul and he is maintained alive by food, which is “latent energy” and when converted into kinetic energy, when acting physiologically, appears in different forms as: light, heat, and motion, rendering him to produce useful work, efficiency whereof, depending upon the intelligence with which performance is turned out, in overcoming friction, which is an indispensable evil, to substantiate the work, and is psychologically, when acting on soul, develops spiritual energy (as per couplet 42 supra) which is released when physical actions are dormant, during sleep or after death, otherwise. Development of the spiritual kinetic energy depends on realization of the Prime Mover God, and the agency he employs to cultivate the human soul, to develop, under various means, such as (1) prayers, (2) fast, (3) tithe), (4) pilgrimage, (5) obedience to Divine Commands, (6) actions, and (7) refrain, (8) attachment to and (9) detachment from (truth and justice, and falsehood and injustice) respectively.

Efficiency depending upon skilful and sincere performance of the same to keep conscience clear against frictions or resistance of inner soul with which he has to continuously struggle, by means of Divine remembrance. thus, what is friction in natural philosophy in turning out work, devil, is, in religious philosophy, the enemy to be overcome, in acting righteously.

Clear conscience is thus a Divine voice in the human soul, making known the presence of its rightful sovereign, the auth of “lawful and holiness and faith.” During sins, its energy is as if converted into heat, likely to consume the soul, until it is allayed by penitential tears, to retain it healthy. Thus, the soul varies in man. With Divine Lights, it is in five distinct forms, with the faithful in four, and with rest in three, and which are usually employed for worldly purpose, viz. (1) social movement, (2) social intercourse, (3) providing means of livelihood under scientific research etch, so vary, the forms of energy, emanating from various forms of soul. The worldly people, having no faith in life beyond death, deride the faithful and are enraged at the very idea of theocracy, while democracy and communism appeals to them, quickly, its apparent results in this world are “cash” as though, mo matter frail and liable, to accounting on Reckoning Day. this is due to neglect of religion, in search of worldly comforts.

Clear conscience wars the man to do right but does not show what is right which is taught by God to Divine Lights who, by associating with men transmit His message to them. Hence, disciplined conscience is man’s best friend, a faithful monitor to the soul is what is health to the human body, and just as a diseased body needs treatment, so does a diseased soul needs Divine Lights to restore its healthy condition, amidst worldly calamities and adversities. Thus (clear) conscience doth make a coward of us all, i.e. God fearing (in the view of future punishment.

Surah al-Ghafir, Chapter 40

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

Verses 1 – 9

1. Ha, meem^1.

2. The revealed Text is from God, the Omnipotent, the Omniscient.

3. Forgiver of sins (on penance) and Acceptor of penance and Mighty at Punishment and Mighty at granting Grace. There is no other God than He to Whom everyone has to revert.

4. None argues against His Couplets (i.e. Commands) (if in person Divine Lights) barring infidels, care not, be not deceived for their bodily (earthly) movements.

5. Before them falsified tribes of Noah and succeeding generations thereafter, and all of them attempted against their prophets to seize them, and litigate with false claims to overpower the Truth. I seized them, and how intense has been My seizure.

6. Similarly has proved the word of thy Providence (true) against infidels, in which they are of hell.

7. Those who bear (Arsh, Divine Knowledge) and who move among them glorify unto God, believe in Him and pray forgiveness for the faithful (Shias) saying, “Oh our Providence, Your mercy is all pervading and so also is Your knowledge. Pray forgive those who have done penance and followed Your path (i.e. Shias in the footsteps of Divine Lights). Save them from the punishment of hell.”

8. Oh our Providence, admit them, with their forefathers, wives, ad children to the highest grade of Paradise, promised by You who (i.e. forefathers, wives, and children) and have reformed themselves. Verily, You are Mighty and Wise.

9. Save them from disaster of hell, for he who is saved from it this day, verily has won Divine Mercy and this is evidently a great success.

Moral

Penance referred to in Couplet Seven above is derived by disowning fealty to non-authorized successors of the Prophet. Similarly wives and children of the faithful who have improved themselves, in disowning fealty to unauthorized, winning of Divine Mercy on Reckoning Day is a special feature of Shias as a result of their fealty to Divine Lights.

Verses 10 – 20

10. Verily when infidels were invited to follow Divine Lights, they refused and thus have incurred Divine ill-will, which is greater than their present (on the Day of Judgment) and enmity to their false leaders.

11. They would say, “Oh our Providence, You did kill us twice and enlivened us twice.2 We have realized our faults. Is there any relief now therefrom?”

12. This is because when you were invited to own allegiance to theocracy you refused under ignorance and when any associative proposal,3so now is this the final dispensation of justice from the Glorious Omnipotent.

13. It is He who indicates His signs (Divine Lights) to you and sends provisions from the clouds and none takes advice at it except who directs (sincerely) self to Him.4

14. So you call unto Him sincerely in all affairs (through the message of Divine Lights) although the infidels will resent it.

15. God, of Exalted Grade, and universal knowledge, sends His Message of His Will on to whomever (Divine Light He chooses so as to warn of the coming Day).

16. The Day they will come out of graves. Nothing will remain hidden from God (when they will be questioned), “Who is the Kingdom now?”

17. Today every soul shall reap the benefit of its action. No injustice (for anyone) today. Of course, God is quick at reckoning.

18. And warn them of the nearing day when the hearts of the tyrants, out of grief and sorrow, shall come out at the throat, there being none to sympathize and intercede on behalf of the tyrants.

19. He is acquainted with (the dishonesty of yours) eyes and (secrets of) hearts.

20. And God shall decide with justice, and those whom they cry unto, barring Him (in the world) shall not be able to do anything. Verily, God is all Hearing and Seeing.

Moral

Clear with bodily notes.

Verses 21 – 27

21. Do they not walk on Earth and see how has been the final fate of those who preceded them? They were by far the stronger than them in might, and in leaving behind relics of their achievement on Earth. God seized them for their sins and had none to save them from God.5

22. This is (so far) because the Prophets came to them with open truth. They discarded them and God seized them. Verily He is Mighty at inflicting intense punishment.

23. Verily did We send Moses with Our miracles and evident achievements.

24. To Pharaoh, Haman, and Karoon6who said he was a magician and an imposter.

25. So when he came to them with the Truth, as being a Divine Light from Us, they said, “Kill the sons of those who believed in him, leaving the females.” And his plotting was nothing but misguidance.7

26. And Pharaoh sad, “Leave me to slay Moses and let him call his Providence (to save him). Verily I am afraid he may change your faith or may sp read propaganda on Earth.”

27. Moses said, “I pray of course, shelter of my and your Providence against all hot-headed tyrants who do not believe in Reckoning Day.”

Moral

Consolation paragraph for Divine Lights and their followers.

Verses 27 – 37

28. And said a faithful (Hizkiel) a member of Pharaoh’s family,8“Are you saying for a man who maintains God as his Providence proof of Whose existence have verily been revealed to You? If he is a liar evil of his lie on him, and if he is true, some disaster of what he promises shall verily befall you. Verily God does not guide who is liar and a transgressor.”9

29. Oh my countrymen! Today is your rule over your land. Evidently, who will save us from Divine disaster if it befell us? Pharaoh said, “I do not see for you any good except in myself and I do not guide you except on the right path.”

30. When the faithful replied, “Oh my countrymen, I am afraid of a disaster which may befall you, like which befell on previous tribes,

31. having like habits of falsifying prophets,10and those which followed them and God does not intend tyrannizing any creature.

32. Oh my tribe! I am afraid for you of the Day of the cry for help (Reckoning Day).

33. “When you will turn back (on seeing hell to escape elsewhere), and there will be none to save you from God, and none can guide him whom God forsakes.

34. Verily, came to you Joseph before, with miracles about whom you had been passed away, when you said (without any proof) God shall never send a prophet (anymore) after his death. Thus God does leave him in his misguidance, who is extremely suspicious.

35. Those who keep on defying Divine Commands (in disobedience) coming to them without rhyme and reason (due to self-conceit) intense in Divine enmity of them and of the faithful. Thus does God seal the hearts of those who are proud and haughty (refusing to follow Divine Lights).

36. And Pharaoh said, “Oh you Haman, build me a palace so as to enable me to attain to the source.

37. “To high plains of the skies to get an insight into Moses’ God, and I am certain he is a liar.” And thus We (as though) eulogized Pharaoh’s deeds^11 in his own eyes and barred him from guidance and Pharaoh’s policy was none but destructive.

Moral

Reserving one’s tenet of faith, without divulging it when dealing with the tyrant, when there is a danger of life of self and others, is a Divine tact to guiding human kind on the right path, since God has made this world a trial and given chances to every creature to choose for themselves their final destination. It is imperative to appeal to their sense of reasoning in the most amiable manner without directly attacking them for their perverted actions thus guarding, thereby the faith, i.e. life of those who follow Divine path.

Its application in various circumstances has already been referred to under Note 28 (c), page 68, Set 1. If he still persists under presumption, self-conceitedness and obstinacy, thus setting aside reason, a Divine gift, a mysterious prophet inviting him to paradise, God seals his heart and leaves him to his misguidance leading to hell. Note in the same degree, we over rate ourselves, we under rate others, for injustice allowed at home is not likely to be corrected abroad, unless under self-examination, by calling oneself to account every night: (1) What infirmity have I mastered today? (2) What passions (i.e. enemy to Divine reason) have I opposed? (3) What temptation have resisted? (4) What virtues have I acquired?

“Our vices will abate of themselves if they be daily brought to the shrift.” Examine how wise abstinent, obliging and just one has been while reasoning on laws expounded by the authorized and their application in matters of principle and policy, transaction to give and take, or mediating between the ruler and the ruled.

Be eager to take lessons from others by advice and criticisms for well-wishers and avoid evil society and men of discursive trend of mind, by entertaining Divine awe and keeping in view of your object of creation and ultimate reversion to the Master as Whose slave you have been sent to this world, to discharge a contracted obligation, avoiding prejudice and condemnation to anyone in mind, as it affects his mind through the misgivings of a devil, common enemy to man, thanking God for His bounties, of keeping you away from these evils, and wishing well of people at large, dutiful to God, living creatures and the dead, disregard of which shall lead to infidelity, ending in Divine displeasure.

Be moderate in eating, talking, and sleeping and fast as it develops tact, purifies the soul, undermines passion, enables to relish soliloquy. Tiding is for him who remembers Judgment Day, acts for it, remains content on little he gets, and is pleased with Divine decree. As with death, worldly trials end, so with dearth of property (material wealth) accounting reduces. there shall be none on Judgment Day, but shall desire would he had been bestowed by God just what was needed to meet his bare wants.

Verses 38 – 50

38. And the faithful (Hizkeil) said, “Oh my tribe! Follow me. I shall guide you on the right path.”

39. “Oh my tribe! This worldly life is transitory and eternity is a permanent abode.”

40. He who acted viciously shall not have anything but reward likewise, whereas one who acted virtuously, be they man or woman, provided one is faithful, shall be one to go to Paradise, where he will have an unaccountable provision.

41. Oh my tribe, what is up with you? I invite you to salvation and you drag me to hell.

42. “You call me to associate with God and associate one with Him, of whom I have no knowledge, whereas I call you to Him, Who is Almighty and All-forgiving.

43. “Certainly, it is nothing but you call me to him, who is not competent to be approached in this world or eternity and verily our final resort is unto God and verily unauthorized leaders^12 are of hell.

44. “You will shortly remember what I have told you and I have entrusted all my affairs unto God. Verily God is watching His creatures.”

45. God saved Hizkiel^13 and the devised punishment of tale-bearers enveloped them.

46. Hellish fire (is their lot) to which they are now being presented morning and evening^14 and on the Day of Reckoning these followers of Pharaoh shall be admitted to intense punishment of Hell.

47. When they will litigate, the weak addressing the haughty leaders, “Verily we were following you. Can you not extricate us from hell?”

49. The inmates of hell will appeal to the guard of hell, “Pray to your Almighty to reduce the intensity of the punishment of hell for a day.”

50. He in reply will say, “Did not your Prophets come to you with proof?” They would say, “Certainly.” The head Guard would say, “You better call upon Him^16.”

Moral

The world is a true representation for him who verifies its objects, and safety is for him who gathers for the future state. It is the home of the rest for him to understand its aim and object, who is after eternal hoardings. It is the home of riches who accepts its lessons, house of advice. It is the prayer hall of God’s friends. It is the requisition hall of angels. It is a place of Divine oracles. It is the trade centre of God’s friends who acquire God’s grace, giving Paradise and reward ad hence it need not be hated.

It has already forewarned its frailty, described its peculiarity of its people and frailty, and has presented eternal pains and worldly pains from which the former can be gauged. He who becomes fond of eternal happiness, looking to worldly happiness ended his evening in health and safety, and started the morning earnestly and fearfully with threatening. It involves worldly people into grief and sorrows and they have to rail at it. During penance, those praise it who took advice at it, on its rendering them vigilant.

Verses 51 – 60

51. Verily shall We help Our Prophet and those who embraced faith in them in this world (i.e. on Resurrection) and on the Day of Judgment (by being merciful on them).

52. The day when the excuse of the tyrants, who have tyrannized will not benefit them and they will be cursed and condemned to hell.

53. Verily We endowed guidance on Moses and made Bani Israel inheritors of the Text.

54. Which was guidance and advice to the sensible.

56. Be patient, as God’s promise is certain and pray forgiveness for the faithful adherents, and praise your Providence day and night.

56. The case of those who litigate Our Couplets without any facts is nothing but an outcome of their pride in their hearts which shall never take them to the intended goal. You seek Divine protection, for He is All-hearing and Seeing.

57. Verily creation of the heavens and the earth is a mightier job than creation of man, but most of them do not understand.

58. Neither the blind and open eyed are alike, nor the faithful acting virtuously and the sinner alike, though few of them understand.

59. Verily the Day of Reckoning is sure to come, wherein there is no doubt, but most of them do not believe.

60. And your Providence said, “Pray your requirements unto Me, and I shall accept them. Those who are proud of approaching Me shortly shall I condemn to a disgraceful hell.”

Moral

Clear.

Verses 61 – 68

61. It is God Who made the night for you to take rest therein and the day to look our (for livelihood). Verily God is merciful to man but most are not grateful to Him.

62. Such is your Providence, Creator of all, and there is no God except Him. Where are you wondering about?

63. Similarly, falsify those who are litigating Divine couplets.

64. God is He Who made us Earth a resting ground and the heavens shelter, and granted you the best features, feeding you out of pure, such is your Providence, full of plentiful bounties, Creator of the worlds.

65. Eternal in existence, none but He is God. Pray unto Him sincerely in every respect, praising Him as Providence of the creation.

66. Say, “I forbid you to worship any, barring Him, the Providence of creation.

67. It is He Who created you from earth, then from sperm, then from a clot, then brought you out as a child, raising you maturity, when you became aged, and some amongst you die early, as per (destiny) at a fixed time, so you may understand (the object of creation).

68. It is He alone Who enlivens and gives death, and when it is due as per His Will, a simple word Be is enough to bring His Will into existence.

Moral

Nil.

Verses 69 – 78

69. Have you not seen the people who are disputing (the validity) of His Couplets (not realizing the real significance thereof), where are they raving about?

70. Those who falsify the text (and Divine Lights in person) shall shortly know where they are condemned.17

71. When with fetters around their necks, they shall be dragged along in chains.18

72. And then shall be thrown into Hell on Reckoning Day.

73When they will be asked to point out, “Where are they whom you were associating (with Me)

74. “besides God.” In reply they would say, “They have disappeared from us. Rather we did not call them at all before.” And thus will the associators be disappointed.

75. This is on the strength of which you were on the face of the Earth, exulting unfairly, and strutting about.

76. Better enter the gates of hell to permanently reside therein. Bad is the destination of the proud.

77. Wait, verily Divine promise is a fact, whether We show you a part of what We have promised or remove you from this world before. you are all to revert to Us.

78. And verily did We send prophets before this. Some of them We have mentioned to you and others omitted, and no prophet brings forth a miracle but with Divine sanction, and when Divine sanction is granted, due justice shall be dispensed and the falsifiers shall suffer.

Moral

Lying is hateful and accursed vice. It is spiritual shamelessness, physical sin of which is like fornication and punishment for this, in intensity, is equivalent to 70 fornications with one’s mother in the house of Allah. The criminal, in the grave, will suffer hammering on the head until the Day of Judgment. It brings down curses from 70,000 angels, and the worst in nature, it is when imputed to God or the Divine Lights.

Not the least misfortune is a prominent falsehood, which becomes a fact in an apocryphal tradition, leading to public misguidance. One cannot appreciate faith unless he gives up lying. It is a lock to all sins, and is outside the sphere of a faithful. Its legality, where agitation is likely to crop up or life of a faithful involved or reconciliation is to be effected, is permissible, but equivocally. Husbands can tell their wives he loves them and to divert the children to virtuous acts, promises may be held out, in crusade it is allowable.

The Prophet promised Paradise to a faithful who (1) furnishes true information, (2) fulfils promise, (3) refunds deposit, (4) avoids unlawful eye, (5) controls his hand from tyranny, and (5) controls his passion in speech, stomach, and sensual pleasures.

Verses 79 – 85

79. God is He Who created animals for you to ride, and some of whom you eat

80. and in others you have benefit, meeting your wants.

81. He indicates His signs (of His existences and Unity) which of them you deny?

82. Do you not move about the earth and contemplate what has been the end of your predecessors most of who were stronger than you and have left their relics behind? Nothing of which they have achieved could save them.

83. When the Prophets came to them with distinct proofs, they were quite pleased with what of worldly knowledge they already had. And the punishment seized them for their having ridiculed them.

84. When they say Our punishment, they said, “We have believed in God the Unique and are away from what we have associating hitherto.”

85. Admission of their faith, on seeing the punishment shall not benefit them. This has been the Divine practice (of yore) with regard to His creatures, and the infidels shall be the sufferers.

Moral

Penance, on seeing punishment, is inadmissible.

9.The faithful, in his arguments has alleged, if the claim of Moses was false as a prophet, he could not have been supported by the Omnipotent. But the fact you all have been overpowered by Moses’ rod, proves his claim to be genuine.

Secondly the prophets sent as messengers for guidance cannot be liars nor are transgressors, thus proving Divine Lights immaculates. To view as genuine claim of the first three successors of Our Prophet, their falsehood and transgressions are historical facts and must be falsified.

Surah Fussilat, Chapter 41

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

Verses 1 – 8

1. Ha Meem.1

2. It is revealed by the Most Merciful, Compassionate.

3. A Book describing details, commands in Arabic, for the people who appreciate.

4. Through tidings given and a Warner from Whom most turn away, and hence they do not listen to him.

5. Saying, “Our hearts are sealed against what you invite and ears are hardened and there is the curtain between us, so you act as you wish and we (infidel Quraish) shall act likewise.”

6. Say, “Although I appear simply a man like you, but unto is revealed in which your God is the only unique God. Be steady at prayers unto Him Who is forgiving (on your penance) and punishing for association

7. “who do not pay tithe, and disown Divine Lights.”

8. Verily those who believe in Divine Lights and act virtuously for them is eternal reward.

Moral

Regarding the sealing of the heart in Couplet One above refers to those of infidels and associators. Their hearts are either inverted or rendered incapable of guidance under obstinacy. Regarding association in Couplets 6 and 7 above, is meant a group following unauthorized leaders who refuse to pay Khums, the legitimate due for Divine Lights. Its application may also be extended to all such creatures, which have been informed of Islam but pride and vanity and worldly engagements prevented them to accept it, or go through it.

Verses 9 – 18

9. Ask them, “Do you deny Him Who created Earth in two (periods or) days and associate others with Him, Who is the Creator of the world.

10. And He raised mountains over it making roads therein and fertilized the soil, fixing in due proportion provision for all the inhabitants therein, in four seasons.

11. Then He turned to creation of the heavens, when it was in gaseous stage, commanding Be. They complied therewith willingly.

12. He made the seven heavens therefrom in two days and commanded angels and decorated the lowest heaven with stars to prevent the devils from rising above, which is the design of the Mighty Omniscient.

13. If they still persist in denial, say, “I am only warning you of a lightening, like of which seized tribes of ‘Ad and Thamood

14. when their Prophets came to them before, and after them, saying, “Do not worship any but God.” In reply to them they said, “Did our God desire He would certainly have sent angels, and we certainly refuse to accept you as His messenger.”

15. And the tribe of ‘Ad were proud of its strength on Earth, without having any ground for it and said, “Who is so mighty as we?” Did they not notice it is God Who created them and is Mightier than they and they were disputing Our miracles.

16. So We sent down a strong gale in evil days^2 to savour them disgraceful punishment in the world and of Reckoning Day shall be worse, when they shall not be assisted.

17. And We guided the tribe of Thamood, but they preferred worldly life to eternity, so lightening seized them for their actions.

18. And We saved the faithful, who were pious.

Moral

A tradition refers to creation of Earth on Sunday and Monday and mountains on Tuesday and vegetation and trees on Wednesday, the heavens on Thursday, the sun and the moon and the stars, angels, and lastly man on Friday. The origin of creation having started with a green element, liquefied under Divine Glory, and boiled and shaken to foam and gas, from which land and clouds were formed. These were commanded to function as per Divine Will and energized.

Four periods referred to in Couplet 10 above are four seasons – spring, summer, autumn and winter, winter necessary for flowering, fructifying and growing of crops. The Mighty Creator, by effecting difference in latitude and tilting the earth’s axis to its plane of orbit, with variation of land and sea, and contours on the ground, causing variation of heat, at different places, in different times, to regulate food production for its inhabitants from the Poles to the Equator (is praiseworthy).

Verses 19 – 25

19. Until they (infidels) all come to Hell on the Day, when the enemies of God shall be assembled thereto and be detained.

20. When they will be questioned and testimony against them, from their ears, eyes and other organs for their deeds, will be recorded against them, on denial of charges (by vocalizing these organs).

21. And they would address their organs as to why they have attested against them, they would reply, “God endowed upon us power of speech, as He has done on others, and He it is Who created you first and to Him have you reverted.”

22. You were not to hide any act from your ears, eyes, and other organs of your body, rather you presumed wrongly in supposing, verily God does not know many of your acts.

23. This was your presumption about God which destroyed you and you truned out amongst the losers.

24. If they tolerate the pains of Hell, it is their destination, and if they offer penance (at this stage) it shall not be accepted.

25. We fixed for them (on their denial of Divine Guides) such companions who eulogized in their eyes what was flourishing in the world and showed falsity of Eternity. So came true Our Commands, in the case of p receding tribes, be they of men or spirit in which they shall be among the sufferers.

Moral

Vocalization of various organs is not hard to be appreciated when the brain which is the store house of human activities can be made to function like a phonograph by its maker. past events are stored in ethereal sphere under electro motive waves. It is vanity to be presumptuous of Divine Truths and to discard them in vain glory to little knowledge of psychology which is still in infancy and not to follow Divine Lights sent as Divine mercy, for guidance from the Providence to Whom shall everybody ultimately revert to render account of his deeds in this world, from whence there is no escape.

Verses 26 – 32

26. And the infidels said, “Do not listen to this Qur’an and frown it in hue and cry (in its resistance) so as to overpower it.

27. We shall certainly severely punish the infidels and award them worse punishment for their deeds.

28. This is the reward of Divine enemies, hell, which will be their permanent abode, a reward for their intentional litigation with Our Commands.

29. And the infidels will pray to their Providence to point them out those two (immediate successors of the Prophet) born of (joint) man and spirit so as to bring them underneath their feet, to be case into lowest Hell.

30. Verily those who admitted (i.e. believed in) God in words of (as per declaration) of Divine Lights and were steadfast in their faith^3 shall see angels coming down to them on the deathbed saying “Be not afraid or grieved (at calamity) and be pleased with Paradise with which you are promised.”4

31. We have been your friends in the world, and shall also assist you in eternity, wherein you shall have to your taste, and what you demand.

32. As an entertainment from the All-forgiving and the All-merciful.

Moral

Attachment to Divine Lights needs ten qualities: (1) Forsaking the world, (2) avoid love of worldly luxuries, (3) cherish love for Divine Knowledge, (4) entertain piety, (5) be busy in penance and rectification, (6) regular in night prayers, (7) devoid of public help, (8) trust in God, guarding Divine commands, (9) avoid worldly people and worldly desires of food, sleep, and laughter, and (10) practice charity.

Absence of one voids another and thus renders attachment defective and not entitled to remuneration in full until under penance.

Verses 33 – 44

33. Whose invitation can be better than one (Divine Light) who invites you to God, acts righteously and maintains, “I supplicate Him?”

34. Virtue (i.e. reserving timely religious tenets) is not alike evil (i.e. divulging them untimely). Under such an occasion, friction has to be eliminated tactfully 5when the friction between you and the person will be resolved into sincere friendship.

35. And this gift is not given to any but the patient and none attains this stage but he who has Mighty Divine share.

36. And if the devil enrages you (in a feud), you pray protection from God. Verily He is Hearing and Knowing.

37. And of signs of His existence, are the night and day and the sun and the moon. Do not worship the sun and the moon (as the Magians do) but pray unto Him, Who created them if you are His creatures.

38. And if you refuse, out of arrogance, to prostrate before Him, know before your Providence are Divine Lights in prostration night and day and do not get fagged in His glorification.

39. And signs of His existence are in the dried up soil which, when We water, swells under pleasure and fertilizes. Similarly He Who enlivened it verily can enliven the dead. Certainly He is Omnipotent.

40. Verily those who misinterpret Our Commands shall not escape Us. What! He who can be cast into Hell is better than one comes under safety on Reckoning Day? Act as you like. Verily He watches your deeds.

41. Certainly the infidels who defied the Qur’an when it came to them and certainly, the Text is mighty (revelation).



42. Nothing of its past description is false nor its future prediction being revelation of the Wise and the Praiseworthy.

43. They do not speak of you except what they have spoken of your predecessors, and certainly your Providence is forgiving (to the penitent) and mighty in punishing (the obstinate).

44. Had We revealed it in Persian, they would have said, ‘Why are not its commands made distinct to us (in our tongue)?” What! A Persian revelation to an Arabic nation! Say, “To the faithful it is guidance and the remedy for their doubts.” Those who do not believe it have their ears stuffed up and it does not appeal to them. They are as though being called out from afar.

Moral

The Persians have submitted to Divine Lights on the Arabic Text are superior to Arabs who butchered Divine Lights on the plains of Arabia.

Verses 45 – 54

45. Verily We endowed on Moses the text wherein they formed a division. Had it not been a forgone decision from your Providence, the matter would have been settled among them and there.6

46. It is for him who acts righteously, by believing in Him and who acts otherwise, and God is not going to ill-treat His creatures.

47. To him is reserved the knowledge of occurrence of the Day of Judgment, and whatever comes of fruits from buds, and whatever the pregnant carries.7(Details of all of these) are known to Him alone, and when they would say, “We have informed Thee, we have cut off our connections with them and we cannot produce any.”

48. And those whom they are calling before this will disappear and they will feel sure there is no room for them to escape.



49. Man does not feel satiated to pray to Him to get prosperity, and when adversity befalls him he gets despondent entirely.

50. When We, out of Our grace, savour him of Our bounties, after his having undergone adversities, verily he claims to be entitle to them, and thinks the Reckoning Day is not to occur, and further maintains if ever it did occur, and he were to revert to his Providence, he would have similar bounties there, too (as he had in the world). We shall acquaint the infidels with their deeds, and savour them of intense punishment.

51. When We shower bounties on a man, he escapes sideways8and when subjected to Divine trials, he extends (upwards) his arms shamelessly.

52. Say, “If you deny what is with God9and hell for the ungrateful who can be greater enemy (to lose blessings thereof) than you.

53. Shortly shall We indicate him signs in the heavens10in man himself, and which will convince them and Mohammad is His rightful Prophet. What! Is not your God sufficient as Omnipotent to testify to your being a genuine Prophet?

54. Beware! They are in doubt of meeting their Providence on Dooms day, whereas He is all Powerful and Knowing.

3.owned continuous fealty to successive Divine Lights of Our Prophet’s immaculate family.

4.Not only will angels come but shall Divine Lights intercede on their behalf from after death right to admission to Paradise to relieve their trials. Similarly, presence of Divine Lights to the hypocrites will cause grief in the grave, whereas coming of angels to Divine Lights, during the life time in the world, and utilization of their falling feathers to serve as emulates, to ward off accidents to their children, is also borne out by this Couplet.

5.By quick and sound judgment, good common sense, kind feelings and instinctive perception of character of one, with whom he has to deal.

6.But the 12th Light on his emergence will slay all those who differ from him, with compilation of the contextual text of Ali which he will bring.

8.Does not acknowledge Divine gifts.

9.Paradise for the virtuous.

10.Divine disasters like fire, famine, floods, earthquakes, cyclones, and volcanic eruptions, which cannot be controlled by man and must needs force to admit God’s existence. Similarly, personal events, e.g. sudden illness, causing disposal of your proposals and such calamities, which cannot be diverted for the time being by any means, thus upsetting your plans are facts reminding you of God, controlling your destiny. It especially refers to events occurring, passing strange, on emergence of the 12th Divine Light, when the enemies will be transfigured and which will lead to confirmation of faith, in genuiness of Divine Light.

Surah al-Shura, Chapter 42

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

Verses 1 – 19

1. Ha, Meem.

2. ‘Ayn, Sad, Qaf1

3. Thus did God the Almighty, the Wise reveal unto you as He did in the past, your predecessors.

4. For Whom is Proprietorship of the heavens and earth, the Glorious, the Almighty.

5. Due to His awe, the heavens may tear asunder and all angels from above come down glorifying Him and praying forgiveness for the faithful. Beware God is All-forgiving and Merciful.

6. Those who have taken up idol worshipping, barring God, as their patrons, God is watching their movements, and you are not any more responsible for them.

7. Thus, to you have We revealed the Text in Arabic so you may warn the residents of the main City of Mecca, and the townsmen thereabout, and warn them of the Day of Judgment, wherein there is no doubt, when a group of them shall be of Paradise and the other of Hell.

8. If God wished, He would have made all of you of one group (to go to Paradise) but he admits whosoever He chooses within His Mercy, and there shall be no sympathizer or assistant to the disobedient.

9. Have they taken, barring Him, any lord although God is the (only) Lord in Reality and He is Omnipotent?

10. And whatever preamble for constitution you have resolved upon apart from the fundamentals of Islam, its decision is with God, such is your God my Providence in whom I trust and to Whom I direct myself.

11. Creator of the heavens and earth, He created out of you, your companions and from animals too, wherein He multiplies. He is unlike His creation (in every respect) being Self-existent, Allhearing and Seeing.

12. For Him are keys of the heavens and earth. He expands provision on whomever He likes and contracts otherwise. Verily He is Omnipotent.

13. He has determine for you (oh you Divine Lights of the Prophet’s family) the same fundamentals in Islam regarding which He had commanded Noah^2 and which was fully developed When We revealed it to you, oh Mohammad, fundamentals of which We have also commanded to follow to Abraham, Moses and Jesus, maintaining its integrity, without making any division therein3except Divine nominee which was hard upon associators, when they were invited to it (Khum-e-Ghadir). God selects thereto whomever He wills, and guides thereto who supplicates Him.

14. And they did not split it but after receipt of knowledge thereof, out of spite, amongst themselves (for having lost right of succession to the Prophet) being unqualified and had not the punishment been postponed, as pre-destined from your God (until the Day of Resurrection) the matter would have been settled amongst them (for the split which they brought about immediately after the Prophet’s death) and those who have been given this text, after the preceding prophets, are in suspicion about your being a genuine Divine Light.

15. So, you go on inviting them and be confirmed in what you have been commanded (regarding Divine Lights, only as your successors) and do not have any regard for their desire and say, “I am following the Text, as it is revealed to me by God and I am commanded I should do justice amongst you.” God is my Providence and your Providence let our acts reflect upon us an yours on you. Hence, there is no disputation amongst us. God shall assemble us all and to Him is reversion.

16. And those who intend litigating, regarding Divine commands, after their admission of Divine existence after their admission^4 their litigation shall have no value before their Providence and they shall have divine wrath on them and for them is intense punishment.

17. God is He Who revealed the Text in Truth with a (testing) scale (in following Divine Lights) and you are unaware how close has (approached) the day of Judgment

18. regarding which are expediting those who do not believe in it, whereas those who believe in it are afraid of it, being not fully prepared and knowing it is inevitable. Beware; verily those who are in doubt about it are in great misguidance.

19. God is Merciful to His creatures, providing bountifully whom He likes, and He is Mighty and Omnipotent.

Moral

Bodily notes will suffice.

Verses 20 – 29

20. He who is desirous of reaping in Eternity, shall We increase it output therein, and he who is desirous of worldly gain, only shall We give it, unto him (immediately) in proportion to his deserving labour, reserving no share for him in Eternity.

21. What! Have their associates5without Divine sanction? Had it not been pre-destined, the result would have been out for their action, and verily for the tyrants shall be in intense punishment.

22. You shall see them standing in terror of disaster for their deeds, which shall befall them (on Reckoning Day) and those who have believed and acted righteously shall be in gardens of Paradise, having their choice from their Providence, and this is a might grace.

23. Thus does God give tidings to His faithful creatures who have acted righteously. Say, “I do not ask any reward except attachment to my Divine Lights (my rightful successors).” He who shall contribute his mite therein shall find it (to his credit) intensified. Verily God is Forgiving and Appreciative.

24. What! Do they charge you with fabrication? If God wishes He would seal your heart (i.e. stop revelation) thus nullifying fabrication and re-instating truth. Verily He is acquainted with human hearts.

25. It is He Who accepts penance of His creatures and forgives sins and knows what you do.

26. And accepts prayers of the faithful who act virtuously, increasing out of His grace, and punishing intensely the infidels.

27. Had He increased provision of His creatures, he would have started disobeying Him on Earth, so He grants what He wills in proportion. Verily He is Knowing and Seeing His creatures.

28. It is He, Who sends rain after despondence, and thus spreads His mercy. Verily He is Mighty and Praiseworthy.

29. And of the signs of His existence are creation of the heavens and earth, and creation of those which tread on Earth, and He is (fully) competent (being Omnipotent) on their assembly whenever He wills.

Moral

Regarding reaping of Eternal gain, for sowing as per couplet 20 above, in the world resultant rewards for the future state may depend upon human intention. If a faithful man is married, it is necessary to have a virtuous faithful wife, with a faithful heart and tongue to produce rewards in the world, in the form of lawful property and faithful children in the world, and by virtuous sowing in form of prayers, fast and obligations and payment of tithe and pilgrimage and self-sacrificing in religious social service, while struggling against the inner foe, and being attached to the truth and justice, shall he reap from the time of participation of the soul to its ultimate salvation by admission to Paradise. Dignity of labour is this which is spiritually performed yielding eternal results.

Regarding Couplet 21 all compilation of commentaries with context of Divine Text disregarding one put forth by Divine Light, after the Prophet’s demise, stands liable under association. The entire contents of the Text are indisputably the same as revealed, though deranged, and irregularly referred to.

Regarding Couplet 23 when the faithful at Medina (Ansars) having seen the Prophet entertaining new converts and others offered a part of their property to help him in carrying out the Divine Mission, which was the Divine object of human guidance, this Couplet was revealed. Material help, beyond what God has fixed in the form of tithe, khums, and Divine trust was not necessary, so self-sacrifice of life and sincere attachment in Islam, which could equally be shared alike by the poor and the rich was enjoined on Muslims. Jas as prayers have been enjoined five times a day on all Muslims, rich and poor, healthy and the sick, to prove their supplication to God as Divine Lights are only torch-bearers of Islam, those which have followed them with life and property and have proved their sincerity since the time of the Prophet to this day. This command was also applicable to previous Prophets (see Moral paragraph 9, page 71, of the first set).

Regarding 26, those who pray for their faithful brethren in their absence shall be permitted to intercede on behalf of the sinful Shias.

Regarding 27, “On the present doctrine of self-sufficiency against Divine design of making creation, it is usually dependent upon one another unlike Himself?” Man has been subjected to trial under resistance of the devil and he does not like servitude and prefers guns to butter after sheer vanity, thus urging sacrifice of social welfare in the name of self-sufficiency, which would be a denial of co-operative action in the sphere of economic relation, as could benefit all the co-operators with present critical conflicting ideologies, maintenance of peace in trembling in the balance. They want a world government, constituents of which shall be all multiple governments, each having its Eternal Dominant Government, which has been existing before their creation, and which promises food, clothing and hutting to His creation, not only in this world, but promises eternal felicity after death, provided they own fealty to Him and to Whom they have to revert finally.

Verses 30 – 43

30. And whatever adversity falls on you is due to your own actions, although God overlooks many.6

31. And you are not going to withstand Him on Earth and barring Him, you shall have none to sympathize and assist.

32. And of the signs of His existence are ships in the sea like mountains.

33. If he chose, He could stop them and there the ship will stand over it. Verily in this are signs for the patient and the grateful.

34. Or He may wish you for your deeds by sinking the, but He overlooks many.7

35. And he knows who litigate about His Commands, and they will not have any shelter.

36. And whatever is granted to them is worldly (i.e. frail) and what is promised before God is better and permanent for the faithful who depend upon their Providence

37. who avoid major sins, leading to hell and worldly punishments on major sins and forgive (their enemies) when they are excited.

38. And obey their Providence in maintaining prayers and consulting Divine Lights in matters of faith, and God fearing people inn worldly personal affairs and spend in the name of God out of what they are provided.

39. And when they are tyrannized unbearingly, they retaliate

40. to the same extent of the crime, and those who forgive and reconcile with their opponents (as Divine Lights no. 2) their reward is with God. Verily He does not like the tyrants.

41. And those who retaliate, after being tyrannized, there is nothing against them (being authorized under Divine Sanction).8

42. Verily, the action of retaliation is sanctioned against those who tyrannize and seek unjustly to create discord (in violating peace), for them is intense punishment.

43. But those who are patient and forgive, verily they are resolute in Divine faith.9

Moral

Under subject to trial (1) to pray, (2) to participate in crusade or (3) follow a Divine Light, a faithful may succeed or fail. In case of success, his faith is confirmed, and in case of failure, punishment is inevitable, as per the decree of crime in the world or Eternity or at both places. Mental misgivings unless brought out in action are solved by oral penance, and false claims of hypocrites shall take them to the lowest grade of hell – vide Couplet 33 above.

Couplet 41 is a Divine sanction to the 12th Divine Light to avenge, on Resurrection (1) Bani Umayyah, (2) falsifiers of Divine Commands, and (3) their enemies, and Couplets thereafter portray their behaviour, on seeing Divine Light, Ali, the Her, on resurrection.

Verses 44 – 53

44. There is none to sympathize, after God, whom God has forsaken, and you will see the tyrants (on Resurrection) on seeing impending punishment, asking for any (available) relief.

45. And you will see them, when being presented to hell, downcast in disgrace, looking sideways, when the faithful will remark, “Verily these sufferers are those who have brought themselves and their adherents to loss on Reckoning Day.” Beware the tyrants shall be in permanent punishment.

46. There will be none to help them except God, and for him there is no relief whom God forsakes.

47. Submit to your God, therefore, before the advent of the Day, when from God, there will be no turning away. You shall not have any refuge on the Day, nor plea to deny the charges.

48. And if they turn away (from you) We have not sent you as their guard, for you, is simply transmission of the message, and when certainly, We savour man of Our bounties, he gets puffed up, and when We chastise him for his sins forgoing it, verily he is ungrateful.

49. For God is the kingdom of Heaven and Earth. He creates what He likes, grants what He does females and males, whom He likes.10

50. Or grants both sons and daughters or makes them childless whom He likes. Verily He is Omniscient and Omnipotent.

51. And it does not behove Him to directly converse with any of His creatures, except through (a medium of) revelation or behind a curtain (as in Ascension) or through a Messenger carrying the revelation with His permission to whom He likes. Verily He is Mighty and wise.

52. And thus did We send you, of Our will, an Arch-angel, Ruh before that, you were unaware of the Text, and transmission of tenets of faith, but certainly We created in Divine Light^11 whereby We guide whom We like of our creatures, and no doubt you guide humankind on the right path.

53. This is the Path of God for Whom is whatever in the heavens and the earth. Beware, all shall revert unto God.

Moral

11.Ali and his lineage

Surah al-Zukhruf, Chapter 43

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

Verses 1 – 25

1. Ha, Meem

2. I swear by the Glorious Qur’an which is an enlightened text.

3. Verily have we revealed it in Arabic so you Arabs may understand.

4. And verily (Hero Ali) is (with Us) in Our record, and Surah al-Fatiha, the wise (as a Divine Light).

5. Are we going to withhold guidance for your being a transgressing tribe?1

6. And how many of Our Prophets did We send to the preceding generations?

7. And none of Our Prophets came to them but were ridiculed.

8. So We destroyed the strongest of them and established practice of yore.

9. If you ask them who created the heavens and the earth they shall certainly say the Mighty Omniscient created them.

10. Who made the Earth for you a cradle and made therein roads for your guidance?2

11. Who created everything in pairs, and the ship and the animal you ride?

12. Who created everything in pairs, and the ships and the animals you ride.

13. So when you stabilize yourself on it remember the bounties of your Providence and say, “Pure is He Who made serviceable to us things beyond y our control.”

14. And verily shall we revert unto our Providence.

15. And they decided for Him, for His creatures, a part of Him3, and the Jews calling Ezra likewise. Verily man is openly ungrateful.

16. Did He select out of creation daughter, i.e. angels, as infidel Quraish said for Self and sons for you?

17. And when any of them is given tidings of these daughter (being born to him) what they attribute to God, his face darkens out of anger.

18. What! (Those daughters) who are adorned and cannot plead on their own behalf, would God select for Self?

19. And they decided angels who are obedient (devoted) creatures of God the Merciful to be His daughters. Were they present when they were created? Their testimony shall be recorded on which they shall be questioned.

20. And they said (infidel Quraish) had God willed, we would not have worshipped them. They have no knowledge. They are simply talking at random.

21. Have We given them a text before this to which they are attached?

22. Rather, their plea is they found their forefathers following it and we are following in their footsteps.

23. And similarly argued before your preceding Prophets, who came to their towns as Warners, the rick among them said they found their forefathers adopting it and therefore they are following in their footsteps.

24. The Prophet said, “Will you even follow your forefathers if I brought you a more enlightened Text.” They said in return, “We deny your mission.”

25. So We avenged them, see what has been the end of the falsifiers.

Moral

The Chief Minister of Madras on 3-8-53 in Hindu page two, stated “it was a remarkable achievement of the intellect of our forefathers which they anticipated the rule of law – the basic theme of biology and physics and forsook their author, God, in their research.”

Verses 26 – 35

26. Remember when Abraham told his uncle and tribe, “Verily I am away from those you worship.

27. except one (whom I worship) is He Who created me, for verily shall He enlighten me (on arguments leading to His unique existence).

28. And Abraham left this4in his family to Judgment day5so they (Divine Lights) may come again on Resurrection.

28. Rather, I profited them and their forefathers until came to them the Truth and the evident Prophet.

30. And when the truth came to them they said in this was magic which we certainly disbelieve.

31. And they said, why was not the Glorious Qur’an revealed to one of the two leading Members of Mecca and Taife.6

32. Are they going to distribute your Divine Mercy? Rather, We endow worldly provisions on them, raising grades of one over another so as to be serviceable among themselves, whereas your Divine Mercy (of Divine Mission on Divine Lights) is far superior to what they accumulate.

33. Had it not been for the like mindedness of the general public, We would have made the houses, with the roofs of the infidels, of silver and the ladders with which they go upstairs.

34. And the gates of their buildings and the coaches, they lean on pillows whereof,

35. of gold and silver, and all this worldly things and whereas eternity which is for the pious, is with your Providence.7

Verses 36 – 56

36. He who shuts his eyes against Divine remembrance, We fix for him a devil who is his companion.8

37. The same devil will be barring them from righteous deeds, when they will be thinking they were guided.9

39. It shall not do you good today since you have tyrannized (on my family) and certainly shall you partake of the punishment.11

40. What! Are you going to make him hear who is deaf and guide who is blind and who is in misguidance?

41. And even if We removed you (oh Prophet) verily are We going to avenge them.

42. Of if We desire to show you what We have promised them, certainly We are mighty to do that.

43. So you be firm in transmission of the Message We have revealed unto you and verily you are on the right way.12

44. And verily it is an advice for you and your family and regarding which you will be questioned.

45. Ask whom We sent before of Our Prophets, did We suggest multiple gods for worship?13

46. Verily did We send Moses with miracles to Pharaoh and his nobles to say, of course, I am a Messenger from the Providence of the world.

47. And when they (Moses and Aaron) came to them with Our miracles, they began to ridicule them,

48. and We did not send one miracle, superior to another, but so they may revert to Us.

49. And they said, “Oh you magician, call your Providence, Who has promised to accept your prayers to eliminate the disaster when we shall embrace faith.

50. And when We removed the calamity from them they breached their promise by not believing in Us.

51. And Pharaoh assembled his tribe and said, “I own Egypt and the rivers thereof are under my control. Do you not see that?

52. “Am I not more deserving of obedience (i.e. worship) than he who is a mean fellow who is not able to speak (distinctly).

53. “Why were not bracelets of gold endowed upon him (to certify his prophetship)?”

54. His ryot was (thus) befooled and they obeyed him as they were a disobedient tribe.

55. When they (Pharaoh and his followers) thus enraged Us (by disgracing Our Prophet) We avenged them and drowned them all.

56. Thus making in them a precedent and a (test) example for posterity.

Moral

Enraging Divine Light is enraging God and inviting Divine Wrath.

Verses 57 – 67

57. When We exemplified Jesus son of Mary, in Ali, of your companions (bearing a grudge to Ali) started litigating.

58. And began to say, “Are not our gods (selected leaders) superior to him?”14rather, they are litigants.

59. He (Jesus) is nothing but a (devoted) creature on whom We have endowed Our bounties, and exemplified to Bani Israel.

60. And if We wanted, We could have raised angels amongst you on Earth, who would have been your successors.

61. And verily he is a sign for the advent of reckoning Day, and be not in doubt about it, and obey me as a Divine Light. This is a right way.

62. Beware the devils (i.e. Shaiks personified) may not misguide you. Verily he, the devil in them is your open enemy.

63. And when Jesus came with open miracles he said, “Verily I come to you with knowledge of Divine Law and shall solve some of your problems on which you have formed a division. Fear God and follow me.

64. “Verily God is my Providence and yours worship him (alone) and this is the right way.”

65. Some groups amongst them disputed on division amongst them, and hell is the punishment on the Day of Reckoning for the disputants.

66. What! Are they waiting Reckoning Day to come suddenly and seize them unawares?

67. On that day the companions will be hostile to one another except the virtuous whose friendship has been for the sake of God.

Moral

Emergence of Messiah, 12th Divine Light and Ali with is descendents are contemporaneous events of Resurrection and the faithful should not be upset when the Ahl al-Bayt are represented, since their position has been likened with Aaron to Moses, being clarified by the Prophet they are all Divine Lights, being on the right way, and their enemies in Bani Umayyah – Bani Abbas and their followers of like mindedness, out of jealousy proceeding by ignoring their Divine selection made them blind hearted and gained them nothing beyond temporary worldly power, for their worldly intrigues.

They (Divine Lights) cannot be likened with political pedagogues who, when they are trapped by their own followers, in their conflicting speeches admit they are not prophets and yet maintain leadership on what they view the field, changing as it does with times due to their disregard for Divinity.

Verses 68 – 89

68. Oh My devotees, you shall have neither fear nor sorrow.

69. Those who are qualified by having embraced faith on Our Commands and acted according thereto.

70. Get you into Paradise with your companions to be welcomed.

71. Circling round them shall be gold plates and glasses, wherein they shall have their choice of food to their taste, pleasing to their eyes and shall remain there forever.

72. These are the paradise you have inherited for your deeds.

73. in which you will have plenty of fruits to eat.

74. Verily the culpritis (enemies of Divine Lights) shall be suffering permanently in hell.

75. Without mitigation of punishment therein and shall be despondent (of intercession).

76. We did not tyrannize but they tyrannized themselves.

77. And they will pray to the guard of hell to appeal to his Providence to finish off with them. He will retort, “Better be therein.”

78. Verily truth came to you but most of you abhorred it.

79. What! Did you think of plotting? Rather, We have determined to punish you.

80. What! Are they thinking We do not hear their private and open parley? Rather Our Messengers (i.e. angels deputed) over them, record them.

81. Say, “If there was any issue to the Providence, I am the first to contradict it.”15

82. Pure is Providence of the Heavens and Earth and Arsh, for what they describe.

83. Leave them alone, in their gossip and play, until they meet Us on the promised Day.

84. It is He in Heaven and Earth, God alone, the Wise ad Omniscient.

85. Bountiful is the Proprietor of Heaven and Earth and in between, to Whom has the knowledge of Reckoning Day and to Whom shall be the reversion of all.

86. They shall not have any right to intercede those whom they prayed except who can give an evidence knowingly on truth.

87. And if you ask them who created them, certainly they will say “God.” Where are they wandering about then?

88. And God will be requested by the Prophet, these (Meccans) are the people who have not embraced faith.16

89. Leave them, oh you Prophet! Bid adieu, shortly they shall come to know.

7.From the time of Adam to Abraham the faithful have been poor always. It was Abraham’s prayers, as the faithful could not stand the test; variation in wealth was effected between the faithful and faithless.

8.I.e. He who adopts, barring Divine Light, any other his guide, We fix that devil, his companion, other his guide, shall he be raised on Judgment day. Divine remembrance evokes Divine awe, and it is the foundation of wisdom, keeping man off from guilt, and ignoring it, with the lapse of time, desires of heaven and eternal felicity die, and slavish fears over-master him. Religious shame blocks him to mediate the terror of guild. This results in his casting of closet prayers, curbing lust, and he shuns society of the faithful, growing cold to public duty, e.g. such as hearing and reading the Qur’an, and attending Godly conferences, and starts picking up holes in the coats of the Godly. Associates with carnal, loose, and wanton men, giving way to such discourse and playing with little sins, when his heart being hardened he reverts to apostasy.

9.Most incurable mental cases fall under this category.

10.As per Divine Light no. five, this is an address “from the fist Sheikh to the second,” when the Prophet will reply, in following Couplets 38 reminding them of their tyranny in depriving the rightful Divine Light, Ali, of his succession to him. Jaber ibn Abdullah Ansari says, the Prophet addressed at Mina during his last pilgrimage to his companions, “I shall see you when you would have turned out apostates, killing one another, when you will find me in a group fighting against you. Then he turned behind and told Ali they will kill you.” He repeated this three times.

11.The Sixth Divine Light had seen several times, to whom had appealed the first two successors, while undergoing pangs of punishment, in the valley of Mount Kalak, near Asfan – 16 iles north west of Mecca on the road to Medina, which is a source of worldly hell, and wherefrom issue various rivers of hellish drinks for the residents thereof. Divine Light in reply said, “May not God pity you, for the source of trouble you have created in the world.” This punishment before the Day of Judgment after death – Vide Haqul Yakeen, page 165, Persian Edition.

12.Regarding nomination of your succession.

13.Variation in cults means worshipping multiple gods leading to Hell. This event relates to the Prophet when he went on the Ascension Mai‘raj) in Jerusalem, where previous Prophets were recalled and Prophet Mohammad led the congregational prayers, and thereafter asked them what was the message they transmitted to their followers. They all admitted “it was the fulfilment of Divine promise regarding His Universal Monarchy, and genuiness of his (Mohammad’s) being the Divine Light with the rest of his Immaculate family as the only torch bearers of Islam. Yet, in present times, people want to live on their own ideologies, in peace together, amidst Divine Wraths, simply to gain their immediate desires, having no idea on the “Future State,” which requires each individual action on discretion.

14.He exemplified Ali to expose they hypocrisy (unto Ali).

15.This proves our Prophet was the firstof all the creation.

27. And for God is Proprietorship of Heaven and Earth and on the Day of Judgment the falsifiers shall suffer.

28. And every sect shall come on their knees to render account, being invited to record the deeds, to be rewarded for their actions.4

29. (They will be addressed) his is Our record of your deeds Divine Lights shall be speaking truthfully (infonfirmation thereof) as We have been recording what you have been doing.

30. And those who embraced faith and acted righteously shall We admit within Our Grace and this is a Mighty achievement.

31. And those who disbelieved (shall be said), “Did not Our Couplets come to you when you prided over them, as you have been criminals?”

32. And they were told, “God’s promise is true, and the Day of Judgment shall come.” You said, “We do not know what the Day of Judgment is. We are simply presumptuous and we are not certain.”

33. So have been opened out to them evils of their deeds having enveloped them for their ridicule.

34. And they will be told, “We are neglecting you today as you did us, for meeting this day. This is hell, your residence and you have none to assist you.”

35. This is a reward for your holding up Divine Commands (i.e. Divine Lights) to ridicule, in vain pursuit, of the worldly (pleasures) and none is going to extricate you out of it, and no excuse will be heard anymore.

36. And praise is for God, the Creator of the heavens and earth, and the Providence thereof.

37. And egotism is just due to him in the heavens and earth Who is Mighty (at avenging the disobedient) and Wise (in rewarding the obedient faithful).

Moral

Characteristics of the virtuous who shall attain salvation: Their hearts are God-fearing, contented, their wants are few, and are easily accessible, faith preserved, passion dead, temper borne down, people hope good in them and are safe against their injury, when compared with the negligent, they will be found virtuous and in a society of the learned, will not be found ignorant, though silent, but are in communion with God, forgive tyrants and are charitable to those who deprive them of their rights. They reconcile with the disaffected, avoid evil speech, they are meek, away from injury, ready to help the virtuous, inclined towards people, patient in adversity, and grateful in prosperity.

They realize Truth before evidence, do not waste trust, do not forget what is violated, do not abuse, do not tease neighbours, do not deride others, sympathize with the agonized, do not partake in unjust affairs, nor avoid the right path. Silence does not grieve them, smile slowly, leave tyrants to God, avoid the world and fire of its anxiety, nearing those who come close to them, relent to everyone, their avoidance is neither out of pride, nor proximity due to intrigue.

Note:Egotism and pride are special Divine privileges (attributes). He who shall arrogate them shall be hurled in hell headlong.

Surah al-Ahqaf, Chapter 46

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

Verses 1 – 10

1. Ha Meem.1

2. The Book is revealed by God the Almighty and the Wise.

3. Heaven and earth and in between are not created in vain, but with the definite purpose behind them, for a stipulated period, and those who are infidels, when warned, turn away (in arrogance).

4. Say, “Do you see whom you worship, barring God, show me what of earth have they created? Have they any share in (creation of) the heavens? Bring me a testimony thereof (in) any revelation before this, or any record of knowledge, if you are true (in support of your claims).

5. And who can be more misguided than one who worships, barring God, him who shall not answer him until the Day of Judgment. Rather, they (gods) are ignorant of his worship.

6. And when men will be assembled, they (gods) will be hostile to them (their worshippers) will deny their worship.

7. And when Our open Couplets are being read out to them, the infidels said, when Truth came to them, “This is an open magic.”

8. Do they say he has fabricated it? Say, “If I have done so, none can save me from Divine wrath. He is well acquainted with what you are busy about (in falsifying me). Enough is He to testify (about my genuineness) between me and you, and He is Forgiving and Merciful.”

9. Say, “I am not a new (warner) among the Prophets^2 and I am not aware of what shall be done with me and you. I simply follow the revelation unto me and I am nothing but an open warner.

10. Say, “Do you see! If this revelation from God, which you have been denying, and whereas it has been testified (By one Abdus Salam) of Bani Israel, who have in the Torah, and has embraced faith, whereas you have turned away in pride, (what shall be your fate). Verily God does not guide a transgressing tribe.

Moral

Abdus Salam demanded a reply to three questions from the Prophet before embracing faith: (1) a sign of an approaching Judgment Day, (2) first food men in Paradise have, (3) to whom is born a daughter and to whom a son? Reply being satisfactory, he embraced Islam.

Verses 11 – 20

11. And the infidels said to the faithful, if their religion had any good in it, they (as an intelligent race) would not have been superceded by (the poor faithful, who are idiots) and when they did not follow it, they began to say, “This is an old lie.”

12. And before that, the Qur’an, there was the Torah, guidance and mercy (for the faithful) and this revelation which confirms it, in Arabic, is to warn the tyrants (of hell for disbelieving it) and give tidings to the faithful.

13. Verily those who admitted by maintaining our Providence is God as declared by Divine Lights and strictly adhered to it, (i.e. obeyed Divine Lights until the end of life) shall neither have sorrow (for the past) nor grief (for the future).

14. These are the men of paradise to reside, time out of mind, in Paradise in return for their deeds.

15. And We commanded man to be virtuous to his parents, his mother conceived and carried it in travail, and delivered it likewise, and the period of her pregnancy and weaning of it amounted to 30 months, until when he attained maturity (i.e. 40 years) he prayed to his Providence to guide him so he may be grateful to Him, for His bounties on him and his parents and he should so act virtuously, as to win His will and improve upon his children, “Verily I have done penance unto Thee, and verily I am supplicant to You.”

16. Those are the people whose acts shall be appreciated and sins absolved and be admitted in Paradise, as a promise which shall be fulfilled.

17. And he who addresses his parents, woe to you! What! Do you threaten me in which I shall be taken out from my grave to account for my deeds whereas preceding generations have not verified it? And they (parents) would jointly complain to God saying, “Saying woe to you. Better believe in us.” Divine promise is true, and he who repeats, “This is nothing but tales of old.”

18. These are the people on whom shall We condemn (Our Promise) along with the preceding generations of spirit and men which they shall be the sufferers.

19. And for every one are grades in reward for their deeds to which shall they shall be raised without fail.

20. And when the infidels shall be brought before hell (they shall be addressed), “You enjoyed in the world profiting thereby. Today is the reward of the disgraceful punishment for your unjustifiable arrogance and falsification (of this Day).”

Moral

1. Self-estimation is another great cause of misguidance, whereby the rich look down upon the poor for following the Prophet, takin him worthy of being obeyed.

2. Steadfastness in faith leads to salvation and has three grades, viz. common, special, and extraordinarily special. Common grade consists in admission of God and Divine Lights with Day of Reckoning and following the commands on action and refrain. In special grade, one has to give up dainty food and clothing and prefer Divine Will with piety. In Extra-ordinary grade, one has to give up love for life, property and children ad absorb themselves in Divine Glory by resigning self to Him, diligently toiling to develop spiritual form of soul.

3. Divine Light Hussain and Prophet Yenya (Joshua) were born within six months. Man at the age of 33 attains a matured gave and at 40 is at his highest rise, thereafter he declines.

4. Couplet 20 refers to worldly gluttons.

5. Couplet 13 is repetition to Couplets 38 and 39, page 8 set 1 of “The Cow” and is variously reminded by God the Almighty.

Verses 21 – 26

21. Relate the history of Prophet Hud, brother to ‘Ad, when he warned them on the sand dunes, saying several warners had preceded him and shall succeed him, and exhorted them why they did not worship the only (Unique) God. “Verily I am afraid of intense punishment on you.”

22. They said, “What! Are you coming to divert us from our gods? Bring what you promise us if you are true.”

23. He said, “Its knowledge lies with God. I have transmitted the message I was duped to, but I see you are an ignorant tribe.”

24. And when they saw a cloud spreading over they valley, they said, “It shall rain.” Rather, they hastened towards it which carried intense punishment.

25. It destroyed everything which came in contact with and they saw nothing of their houses save. Thus We punish a criminal tribe.

26. Verily We had populated them in habitations of their predecessors and endowed upon them power of hearing, seeing and understanding (spiritual facts), but none of the faculties of hearing, seeing and understanding came to their rescue, while they were disputing God’s Commands and it enveloped them for their having ridiculed them.

Moral

Try to use faculties granted in all their various passes, physical, intellectual, and spiritual, as man is superior to the rest of creation.

Verses 27 – 35

27. And verily We destroyed other tribes in the vicinity, (and thus) exemplified them, so they may revert to us.

28. Why did not their gods, whom they worshiped besides Allah, come to their help? Rather they fled away from them, and this is a proof of their lie, which they were fabricating.

29. And call to mind when We sent you a group of spirits who were listening to you while you were reciting the Holy Qur’an, and when they assembled they said, “Listen to it with attention” and when it was completed they returned to their tribe to warn them.3

30. They said to their tribe, “We have heard about a Text which has been revealed after Moses (Torah) confirming the previous Text, guiding Truth and leading on to Paradise.

31. So better admit the call of the Divine Messenger by believing in him so you may be forgiven of your sins and saved from intense punishment.

32. And he who shall not admit the call is not going to withstand Him on Earth, and he shall not have any sympathizer except God, and those are in open misguidance.

33. What! Have they not seen God creating the heavens and earth without fatigue? And do they not deem Him Omnipotent on their recreation and re-enlivening and destroying them? Aye! Certainly, He is Omnipotent.

34. And on Reckoning Day, the infidels will be brought before hell, and addressed, “Is this not a fact?” They, in reply, will say, “By your Providence, it is so.” They will be told, “Well then, taste the punishment for your infidelity.”

35. So you Prophet! Be patient as the (preceding) resolute prophets and do not be in a hurry of their destruction as though they are viewing it, what they have been promised, when they will say, they did not stop the world more than an hour of the day. This is a message and who is going to be destroyed except the disobedient tribe?

Moral

Clear.

1.By Mohammad.

2.With regard tothe Mission and the treatment in lieu of its falsification.

3.After Abu Talib’s death, the Prophet went to taif to seek publich help in propagating Islam. Being unsuccessful, on his way to return home, he halted at a place where he had the occasion to convert the spirits which came to hear the Qur’an.

Surah Muhammad, Chapter 47

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

Verses 1 – 10

1. Those who deny (believing in Divine Lights as the only genuine Guides) and barred men from following Divine Light (Ali), wasted their past virtues (in having participated in crusade with the Prophet) leading to Eternal rewards.

2. Those who put fate in Divine Light (Ali) and acted righteously and further attested the Prophet in what was revealed unto him (regarding succession of Ali) from their Providence, shall have their sins absolved with betterment of their condition (reconfirmation of faith).

3. This is because the infidels followed imposters whereas the faithful followed the truth from their Providence and thus We describe for men the state of their faithful and faithless affairs.

4. And when you defy an infidel, slay him, when you capture him until he is bled to death or handcuff him and if he surrenders, the Divine Light may set him free or demand a ransom or make him a slave. This is because, if God had desired, He would have helped them, but He tries a faithful with the faithless, and the deeds of the martyrs shall not be voided.1

5. Shortly shall He guide them and improve their affairs.

6. And admit them to paradise with bounties with which He has acquainted them.

7. Oh you faithful, if you help the Divine Lights, it will strengthen your faith.

8. And those who defy Divine Lights, shall be destroyed with wastage of their past virtues.

9. And this is because they disliked what was reveled (to the Prophet) by God (regarding Ali) so He voided their virtues.

10. Have they not seen on Earth what has been the fate of the preceding people? God destroyed them, and this is an example for the infidels (which their fate shall be similar) because God is a sympathizer of the faithful where the infidels have none for them to sympathize with them.

11. This is because God is the protector of the believers and those who deny the truth have no protector at all.

Moral

Man should guard his virtues, rewards whereof in Eternity, commencing with death, as worldly gifts have to be paid for his labour under Divine Justices, as the Devil has been given power in the world. Be not led away by worldly position of politicians, be they socialists and industrialists or scientists as it is payment of their labour in the world.

Verses 12 – 19

12. Verily shall God admit the faithful who have acted virtuously in Paradise, below which flow streams and let the infidels enjoy in this world and feed like beasts, as their destination is hell.

13. And how many of the cities, which were strong than Meccans, who drove you (oh Prophet) out. We destroyed without their having assistance.

14. What! He who is steadfast on his Divine proof (certifying his faith in Divine Lights) is alike him whose acts have been eulogized in his eye by passionate acts (i.e. hypocrites) and he is a slave to his passion.

15. Or are alike the gardens of paradise, promised to the pious, where are streams of water without (stinking) smell, or mild without change of taste, of wine sweet of the taste, and streams of transparent honey, and for them in those gardens are available fruits of every kind and forgiveness from their Providence, the same as compared to one who is in permanent hell wherein he is given boiling liquid to drying, tearing off his intestines?

16. And amongst them are hypocrites, who pretend to listen to you, until when they leave you out, they ask the learned men, what did he say now? Those are the people whose hearts have been sealed by God, and what have followed their passion.

17. And those who have embraced faith shall have their guidance increased (confirmed) with endowment of piety (a sign of confirmation).

18. What! Are they anticipating sudden advent of Reckoning Day when its forecasts have already come? How can they be saved when they are disregarding the advice which has come to them?2

19. Know there is none else except God the Unique, pray to Him for forgiveness of your sins, and of faithful men and women, as God knows your whereabouts and final destination.

Moral

Best kind of prayers is admitting iniquity of Providence in obeying Divine Lights and praying forgiveness of one’s sins from Him, through their intercession.

Verses 20 – 28

20. And the faithful say, “Why no commands for crusade are being received?” And when a clear command thereon is revealed, wherein crusade is declared, you will see those of diseased hearts, looking at you, as though they were under agony of death. It would have been better on their part.

21. To comply and make an honest statement, and when participation (in crusade) is decided, had they verified it, it would have been better on their part.

22. What? By turning away therefrom, they propose to fan sedition and cause disaffection among relatives?

23. Those are the people whom God has cursed, their ears are sealed and eyes blinded.

24. Do they not think over the Glorious Qur’an or are their hearts sealed?

25. Those who have apostate, after guidance was enlightened upon them, which was due to the devil (Khalifa II) having deceived them, by eulogizing their suggestions in winning power and position in the world and entertaining desires for a long life.

26. This is why those who did not approve of what were revealed by God.3 They said they would not comply with it and God knows what is secreted in their hearts.

27. How will they help (the situation) when death angels will be lashing on their faces and backs.

28. This is due to their following what enraged God and they dislikened to seek Divine Will, thus voiding their acts.

Moral

23. Those who spread disaffection amongst relatives by intriguing against the Prophet have been cursed. Hence the faithful should not associate with them (on religious affairs) as Hell is their destination.

24. This refers to Shaiks and those of like-minded (as per Divine Light Six in Kafi) and needs no elucidation.

26. This hatred was exposed several times, viz. in the Battle of Badr, Battle of Hunain, Batne Nakhle, water the Hajis, revelation of Khum (Khum-e-Ghadeer).

Verses 29 – 38

29. Do those who have plotted the ink We shall not expose their malice (towards Divine Lights).

30. If we desired, we could acquaint you with their signs, and you would recognize from the tone of their speech, and God is acquainted with your acts.

31. We shall try you until We find out (prove) who are the real participants of the crusade among you and patient and test your reports.

32. Verily, those apostate from faith and barred men from the path of God (i.e. from following the Immaculates) and disobeyed the Prophet, after guidance was enlightened on them, they shall not affect Him in any way. Rather, void is their acts.

33. Oh you faithful believe in God and the Prophet and do not void your acts.

34. OF course, those who became apostate and barred the Divine Path and died as such, shall never be forgiven by God.

35. And do not slack and do not plead for peace. You will get the upper hand. God is with you and shall not suspend your acts.

36. Wildly life is nothing but play and sport, whereas if you believe and fear God, God will give you the reward and will not demand all of your property.

37. And if He demands, under insistence, the whole of it, and if you act in hesitation miserly (as those who departed Hussain at Karbala) He would expose your weakness.

38. These are the people who are asked to spend in the name of God. Those who are miserly, consequence thereof is on the one who so acts, and God is Self-sufficient and you are dependent upon Him. So if you turn away, He will replace you by another nation (Persians) who will not so act as you do.

Moral

God has given sufficient intimation of apostates who, notwithstanding their participation in the crusade, bore hatred (to Ali) and wasted their labours under secret plotting against Ali. Ultimately, God gave a definite decision, i.e. lovers of Divine Lights, will be found outside Arabia, i.e. in Persia and elsewhere.

As when the Glorious Qur’an was being read out to them, they admitted His Commands wholly, entertaining Divine love, i.e. love of purity, that is love for the Divine Lights and hatred for lovers of the world. these are places where freely Islam can be observed in the original cult duly approved by Divinity.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

1. IF the faithful overpowers the faithless he gets the booty and reward inthe world, and if he is a martyr (killed for the sake of God) in the eyes of God, he receives Paradise (in return). Similarly, if the faithless survifes, in victory, he is condemned to hell for infidelity, or if He surrenders, he has a chance to embrace faith.

2. Of some forecasts are (1) indifference to prayers, (2) following passion, (3) respeciting the rich, (4) selling Eternithy for the sake of the world, (5) dishonesty of rulers, ovvicers and the trustees, (5) virtues being deemed vices and vice versa, (6) women shall rule, (7) slaves will be consulted, (8) immature will sermonize, (9) tithe considered as ransom, (10) Muslim property taken as booty, (11) children will disobey parents, (12) friends will beguile, (13) comets will appear, (14) ladies will transact business, (15) sunshine in rain, (16) respectable will be degraded and the mean will be respected, (17) when you should not go to market, where ungratefulness shll be openly declared, (18) public awe of being robbed in life and property will prevail, (19) unemployment will be on the rise, (20) people will idulge in international export and import, (21) economic condition of the country will be upset by Divine disasters, etc. (22) the youth will be cruelly treated and elders not respected, (23) there appearance will be human and hearts like the devil, (24) self-satisfaction of passion among the sexes, (25) interchange of dress, (26) mosques will gilded like charges and synagogues, (27) the Glorious Qur’an shall be likened with minarets of mosques, (28) people will congregate in mosques with no sincere hearts, (29) men will lwear gold ornaments and silk suits and wild skin boots, (30) they will do bjisness of interest, accept bribes and torment the virtuous, (31) there will be excess of divorce, over-ruling Divine Commands, (32) music in various forms, such as cinema ad radio will prevail, (33) the rich will go on pilgrimages as on a change of climate, middle class men for business, and the beggars to show, (34) theology will be studied for litigation and not for guidance, (35)fornication will develop, (36) people will be drowned in worldly pleasures, (37) heart failures will be on the increase, (38) femail birth will be on the increase, so as to make the combination of 40 females to one, (39) lies will be a common feature, (40) untimely (heavy) rain, (41) readers of the Text and religious worshippers will find fault with one another and will be raised as dirty animals before God, (42) the rich will be afraid of the poor for life, (43) incapable men will be on stage, (44) after short period land will slip and everbody will feel affected.

3. Regarding Ali’s succession.

Surah al-Fath, Chapter 48

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

Verses 1 – 10

1. Verily have we secured an open victory (or revealed unto you Text, wherein is granted Islam for you

2. so God may forgive our true followers their sins, past and future, on your intercession), and fulfil completion of His bounties on you and grant them mercy, whereby they get guidance to truth through you.

3. And endow upon you a might success.

4. It is He Who endowed consolation in the hearts of the faithful^1 so they may confirm their existing faith and for God is the army of the heavens and the earth and God is All-knowing and Wise

5. So He may admit faithful men and women in paradise (for eternal residence) below which flow streams (by accepting their penance) and overlooking their sins thereby, and this is near God, a might achievement.

6. And punish the hypocrite men and women and associating men and women, who had entertained ill of God. Be on them an awful calamity and Divine wrath and curse, and He has prepared hell for them which is an awful abode.

7. And for God is the army of the heavens and earth and God is Might and Wise.

8. Verily have We sent you as a witness, bearer of tidings and a warner

9. so you may embrace faith in Him and His Prophet (oh you listeners), and We re-enforce the Prophet (in establishing faith of Islam through Ali), and respect God (by complying with His Commands in all affairs) and glorifying Him, morning and evening.

10. Verily those who contract fealty to you they do so with God (for you are His representative on Earth) and God’s Hand is over their hands, and he who breaches (oath of fealty), it shall affect him alone, and he who shall fulfil its which he has contracted with God, shortly shall God reward him highty.

Moral

From the above one can judge the position of God’s representative on Earth nominated by Him. To contravene such an authority by thought, word, or deed (with which Khalifa II is charged) is a treason and condemnable to perpetual perdition unless absolved by penance. Those who fight against God and the Prophet (Divine Light) shall be treated as per Couplet 33 Surah Five (The Table).

Verses 11 – 17

11. Shortly the lags (Bedouins) who put forth a lame excuse to accompany the Prophet (on pilgrimage) may plead their absence for preservation of property and children, and you should pray forgiveness for them. They say by mouth which is not in their hearts. Say, “If God intends to ruin you or benefit you, who can stop Him?” Rather, God is acquainted with your acts.

12. Rather you expected the Prophet and the faithful will never return save (from pilgrimage), and this was exposed to you as certain within your hearts and you entertained all rumours regarding the Prophet’s ruinouos cause and you are a bad sect.

13. And for the infidel who does not believe in God and His Prophets, verily have We fixed hell.2

14. And for God is the kingdom of the heavens and earth. He forgives whom He chooses and punishes whom He likes and is God forgiving and Merciful.

15. Shortly, the lags shall say, when you go to Khaiber to seize booty, permit us to follow you. They intend to change Divine Commands thereby3 where the treaty of Hudebia was affected. Say, you shall never follow us there. Similarly, pleaded to God previously men likeminded when they will argue the orders have been given for us to follow, and the faithful feel jealous of them. Rather they do not understand except a few.

16. Tell the lags they will be shortly invited to face a formidable tribe of Hawazin, in the battle of Hunain to fight or make peace. If they comply, God shall reward them well and if the turn away as they acted in the past he will punish them intensely.

17. It is not objectionable to the blind, the lame and the sick to keep away from the battlefield, he who shall obey God and His Prophet (as a Divine Light). This is a general Divine Command, shall be admitted in Paradise below which flow streams, and ho who turned away shall be severely dealt with.4

Morals

In sixth Hijri the Prophet dreamt, he with some companions goes to pilgrimage. Accordingly he started with700 for Umra taking 70 camels for sacrifice. When he reached Zul Halifa, where the pilgrims changed dress for Ahram, spies informed the Meccans of the Prophet’s marching against Mecca, so Khalild with 200 was sent ahead. When the Prophet reached Hudebia his camel refused to proceed.

Therefore, the Prophet sent Osman (K. III) to Mecca to clarify the situation created by spies, but he was imprisoned and rumoured to have been killed, upon which Baithur Razwan was affected beneath a tree whereby none was to fly, until Mecca was conquered. Meanwhile, truce was affected, viz (1) not to make war for ten years, (2) he should return without pilgrimage, (3) next year Mecca will be evacuated for three days for him to pilgrimage, (4) during this interval, if any infidel embraced Islam, he should be returned to Mecca and not vice versa.

This aroused suspicion in the mind of Omar (Khalifa II) as to the genuiness of his prophecy (this is his mental treason). A further term was imposed that no bar should be imposed for the sake of business on either party (prejudice proceeding out of price and vanity defying truth leads to hell).

This couplet has preceded couplet 10, which followed it. This is an error in compilation as was previously noted in Surah Tribes (33:51) to have been 29.

Verses 18 – 26

18. Verily was God pleased with the faithful (only) with those who covenanted with you beneath the tree, (and not all who participated) knowing what lay within their hearts. So he put in consolation into them, granting a victory at their hands.5

19. And plenty of booty fell to their hands and God is Mighty and Wise.

20. God has promised plenty of booty which will fall to your hands and he hastens his booty for you and prevented the hands (of Bani Asad and Bani Gothan who had locked themselves up in the castle, and did not face you on the battlefield) so it may be a sign to the faithful (of the Prophet being a genuine Messenger) and keep you on the right path.

21. And further, other booties over which you have no control, but over which God has control and God is Omnipotent.

22. Had the infidels fought with you, they would have turned their backs, when they would have no support or assistance

23. (except wholesale slaughter) which has been Divine practice of yours and wherein you will find no change.

24. It is He Who barred their hands being raised against you and yours against them within municipal limits of Mecca (at Hudebia), after the fact you had the control of infidels under you and God is acquainted with your acts.

25. They are those infidels who prevented you from the holy sanctuary and conducting sacrifice, when it was held over for future to reach its destination. Had it not been for the fact there live in the town of Mecca faithful men and women, in mask whom you did not know and whom you would have killed unknowingly, when you would have been laughed at by associators, so He admits within His mercy whom He likes, and had it not been for the faithful progeny to be born of them, they would have been subjected to severe chastisement (by being slain).6

26. When the infidels, who had foolish vanity in them^7 when God inspired consolation in the Prophet and the faithful by enforcing p iety in them which was an obligatory function for them (being most appreciative) and God is Omniscient with everyone.

Moral

1. It should be carefully perused God has expressed His will towards the faithful only and not all those who by their haughty behaviour were excluded. (The inner secrets of their hearts being known to God.)

2. Secret of Bait-ur-Rizwan had been revealed by a clever decision in the truce affected in saving the lives of faithful men and women and who had concealed their faith for having tolive with the majority of infidels in Mecca. This is Divine Wisdom. The Prophet simply complied with Divine Commands.

3. Such acts are noticed when Ali, in the Battle of Siffin, prevented Malik-e-Ashtar to finish off the battle, and similarly Imam Hussain at Karbala held back the general onslaught of the enemy. This also explains postponement of the emergence of the 12th Divine Light until all the faithful are born. The Divine secrets are only made known to Divine Lights by Divine Messages. They act righteously throughout their life, unlike political pedagogue claiming to serve the nation, dedicating themselves and praying mob leading to ruin their ultimate cause (12-9-55). They rely on the wisdom of the mob.

Verses 27 – 29

27. Verily God has verified the Prophet in his dream being true which you would enter the holy sanctuary, God willing, safely after shaving your heads and removing your nails, without any fear. He knows what you do not know, so before the conquest of mecca, he arranged a victory of Khaiber.

28. It is he who sent His Prophet with guidance and true religion to overpower other faiths (although they may have been revealed by God but had deteriorated with lapse of time) and God is enough as a witness (to your being a genuine prophet).

29. Mohammad is God’s Prophet; those with him are strict towards the infidels, and considerate amongst themselves. Forbearing, prostrating and seeking Divine grace and will, excessive prostration has left marks on their foreheads. These very qualities are to be traced in the Torah and Bible, like a cultivated field having sprouted its needles ad strengthened itself to thickness, and then stood on its own foundation, pleasing its cultivators and enraged infidels, and God has promised the faithful who have acted virtuously forgiveness and great reward.

Moral

Rapidity with which Islam spread all over has always been a subject of great discussion amongst historians, which was also presaged by the Prophet on the battlefield of the Trench. Large heartedness, politeness with piety was mighty moral armaments, with which Islam marched against infidels to enforce conversion to Islam.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Who did not object to the Prophet’s contracting a treaty at Hudebia.

2. This applies euqlly to all Divine Lights who bear the same connection as Aaron and Moses.

3. Whereas the order for Khaiber refers only to those who accompanied the Propet to Mecca on pilgrimage.

4. Therefore those who turned away from Ali and Imam Hussain, everyone of his age from respective Divine Lights is liable under Couplet 17.

5. I.e. Khaiber which was won by Ali when Shaikhs retreated to save their lives with the army.

6. This was the secret of Suleh Hudebia.

7. Not to tolerate breach of covenant, executed in the Name of God the Unique, under the tree.

Surah al-Hujurat, Chapter 49

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

Verses 1 – 10

1. Oh you faithful do not precede God and His Prophet^1 and fear God and God is Hearing and Knowing.

2. Oh you faithful, do not raise your voice over the Prophet’s, and do not call him by name as you do among yourselves, lest your acts be void unawares.

3. Verily, those who lower their tone before God’s Prophet are the people whose hearts have been tested for piety by God and for them is forgiveness and a great reward.

4. Verily those who call you out loudly, behind your apartment, have no common sense in most of them.

5. Had they waited until you had come out of your apartment, it would have been better in their favour, and God is Forgiving and Merciful.

6. Oh you faithful, when a disobedient (passionate) person brings you any information, verify his statement lest you may unawares treat the sect unfairly and be repentant later.2

7. Know with you is a prophet of God. Had he accepted your statements in most affairs, you would have come to grief, but God has approved of faith in your heart and exalted it and disapproved of disguising truth, disobedience and transgression, and those are the wise (who accept it).

8. This is Divine grace and bounty and God is Knowing and Wise.

9. If two groups of faithful fight against each other, affect reconciliation between them. If any one group under disobedience fights with the other, fight against the disobedient until they submit to Divine Commands (e.g. Battle of the Camel) and when they submit, affect reconciliation between the two on justice, and God loves the just.

10. Indeed the faithful are nothing but brethren among themselves, so affect reconciliation between them. Fear God so you may be mercified.

Moral

The Prophet’s advice to Ali was, “Go over to visit the ill to a distance of one mile, accompany the funeral if at two miles, accept the invitation within three miles’ radius, visit a religious brother within four miles, relieve the needy within five miles, help the tyrannized within six miles, and ever make amends for your weakness, praying forgiveness and note affecting reconciliation carries the reward of a crusade.

Verses 11 – 18

11. Oh you faithful do not laugh at one another (by finding fault). They probably may be better than those who laugh at them (from the point of view of piety) nor should women laugh at others, lest they (latter) may be better than their sisters who laugh at them, and do not libel any by signs and call them by name. It is an awful action after having embraced faith. he who does not make amends is disobedient.

12. Oh you faithful, avoid excessive suspicion, some of which is a sin, and do not be after looking for defects of others, and do not backbite one another. Do you want to eat the flesh of your brother whom you spite (which is unlawful)? Fear God, and God is Merciful (to the penitent).

13. Oh you people, We created you from Adam and Eve as man wife (although through propagation) (het creation was Our lookout) and divided you in groups and sects so you can be easily verified and before God, most honoured is he who fears God most and God is Knowing and acquainted with your deeds.3

14. The Bedouins said, “We have embraced faith.” Say, “You have not, better say we have accepted Islam. Faith has not found room in your heart, and if you obey God and His Prophet, God would not reduce the reward of your acts. Verily God is Forgiving and Merciful.

15. The faithful are those only who believe in God and His Prophet and never doubt again and fight in His name with property and life, and these are only justified in calling themselves faithful.

16. Say, ‘What, do you inform God of your faith? God knows everything of the heavens and earth and God is Omniscient.

17. They obliged you having accepted Islam. Say, “Do not oblige Me for having embraced Islam. Rather God has obliged you by having pointed out the way to embracing faith, if you are true in your claim.

18. Verily was God pleased with the faithful (only) with those who covenanted with you beneath the tree, (not all who participated) knowing what lay within their hearts, so he put in consolation into them, granting a victory at their hands.4

Moral

God has distinctly differentiated pretenders from the faithful. Muslims are those who, by admission of the tongue, are entitled to safety of their life and property, such as inheritance and marriage, worldly benefit having no claims to eternal rewards, until and unless they prove themselves by their deeds of selfsacrifice and property, when tested in the crusade, as this earth is merely a Divine Trust.

A faithful committing major sins gets out of its fold and remains a Muslim without having title to acceptance of virtues. A Muslin illegalizing legal deeds of Islam or vice versa gets out of fold of Islam, rendering himself worthy of being beheaded. A faithful is one who owns fealty of Divine Lights of his body and soul – vide Moral to Paragraph Five, Sura 33, the Tribes.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

1. In religious affairs such as goat sacrifice, before prayers in Bakrid Festival, or declaring crusade before declaration of Divine Light.

2. This occurs commonly with a talebearer and during certain lectures, which must be discouraged as per Divine Light, never accept a complaint of your better half, against your parents and nearest relations.

3. Thus cast distinction is wiped off in Islam.

4. I.e. Khaiber which was won by Ali when Sheiksh retreated to save their lies in the army.

Appendix 7: Abstract of Prayers of Four Divine Lights to Grant Amiable Character

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate

Oh God, shower Your mercy on Mohammad and his revered family, fulfil my faith, strengthen my belief, perfecting intentions, improve my affairs, and with Your might rectify y ills. Save me from avocations, anxiety whereof engages me, and employ me in what You shall question me on the Day of Judgment, and enable me to pass my days in what You have created me. Do not throw me dependent on others, enhance my provisions and do not try me with the evil eye, whereby I envy, be jealous, bear malice, or practice fornication. Endow on me honour, do not cast me to take being wasted, through self-praise. Let others benefit through me, and endow on me guidance, such as I should not stand in need of others, and wherefrom I may not turn.

Do not raise my stand before the public until degrading me before self in like degree, and do not create any toward respect until an equally inward self-degradation is created in me. When my souls is diverted to worldly acts, seize me, prior to enhancement of Your wrath, shower Your mercy on Mohammad and his revered family, and do not leave me in such a condition wherein there may be defects without rectifying same, and endow on me love vice malice towards others. Friendship, vice, envy of enemies, confidence in virtue vice suspicion, proximity to my near ones vice their separation, gift vice their denial, remembering them in good terms, vice their backbiting me, thanksgiving for a kindly return, obligation to relations vice their disobedience, sincerity, vice flatter.

Bestow on me strength to withstand tyrants and tact to overcome their tricks in speech and acts. Guide me to obey Him who rectifies me, shower Your mercy on Mohammad and his revered family and perfect my obedience to You in maintaining (1) justice, (2) self-mastery, (3) quenching the fire of hostility, (4) befriending forsakers, (5) to denying internal dissensions, (6) spreading virtue, (7) over-looking shortcomings, (8) bearing forbearance, (9) maintaining politeness, (10) adopting leniency, (11) giving up and finding fault, (12) approving doling of gifts, (13) giving more to undeserving, (14) speaking the truth, (15) under-rating self-virtue, (16) over-rating self-views, (17) ever complying, (18) associating virtuous, (19) avoiding innovators.

When I grow old, endow on me energy and do not try me, whereby I avoid Your obedience, be misguided, talk against Your will, associate Your enemies, avoid Your friends, and guidance to glorify You, meditating on Your bounties, Your glory, during creation of infernal desire in me, suspicion, jealousy, speaking ill of others, dishonouring and back-biting faithful, bearing false witness, abusing or revelling in like talk. Endow on me chastity so I die for You, live for You. Heal me with Your blessings. I have nothing to pride on, save to depend on Your grace, for all Your gifts. Guard me under Your protection and do not try me whereby I engage in search of excessive provision, making wasteful expenditure or suffer pangs of earning a livelihood. Endow on me unaccountable provision whereby I may not have to lift the load of evil consequences of amassing wealth sacrificing time needed for your remembrance and do not turn me a beggar, thus degrading one.

Shower Your mercy on Mohammad and his revered family and endow on me gifts of acceptance of my prayers, achievement of forsaking the world and acquisition of true knowledge, by engaging in earning lawful provision, maintaining piety and enduring my life in Your forgiveness and grace, awakening me to your remembrance during negligence and lightening of path leading to Your love, thus perfecting my welfare in this world and eternity. Guide me to pray to you and importune to You alone in straits and barring You, not to seek assistance from anyone else, during helplessness and not to lower self before any save You during need, else I shall render myself capable of being thrown away outside your sight of mercy. Grant me safety and success on Resurrection and raising from the grave, for You are my Saviour during grief and hope and during disappointment, rectifier of my ills.
