[Mughal]

Surah 41 FUSSILAT- The clear distinction between two ways of life

This surah is names FUSSILAT from root FAA, SWAD and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is distance or difference between things. Also barrier, separation, distinction, gulf, disconnection, lack of contact, discrimination, facilitate, detail, expand, room, space etc etc.

This surah is named FUSSILAT because the Quran makes clear distinction between two ways of living for mankind. One way of life is supposed to be based upon this divine guidance that wants to bring people together as a proper human community whereby people live for each other to make their world a blissful place to live-in in a dignified way as a brotherhood of humanity and the other is a way of life people adopt for themselves the best they think, which is based upon the idea of personal gains at the expense of human community spirit. This way of living has proven very harmful and destructive for humanity according to human history but people have been turning to this idea again and again which has brought humanity to where it is today. Could people have been better off living the way Allah had advised them or have they had a better life the way they decided to live themselves? This question needs to be asked and answered by each and every person in order to realise why the Quran makes distinction between two world views. Both have been tried and tested as human history bears witness to all this. One has been very beneficial for mankind but it was very demanding and the other has been very bad for mankind but also very demanding. So there is no such thing as free lunch either way. If you live on basis of divine guidance then you need to work very, very hard to make ends meets or things will not work out and fall apart.

This is why each time a divine kingdom was set up it was brought down by people who did not want to work that hard to keep things going so divine kingdoms that were brought about by divine messengers all ended up destroyed including the kingdom that was set-up by the final messenger. However, the kingdoms that were brought about by people after them proved very harmful and destructive for humanity and they still do and people have not yet realised what do they really want because they have not bothered to find out for themselves. So a state of chaos and confusion continues for humanity and it will continue till people educate themselves and ask questions as to where they are going and if they are heading in the right direction. Usually very crazy things need to happen to mankind before they come to their senses. It is just like individuals that so long as things go their way they keep going and never look back but when things suddenly come to a halt and they cannot continue that they look for some way to somewhere. So the message of the Quran is falling on deaf ears just now if you like till people come across such a situation or set of circumstances which stop them from going there altogether. Only then humanity will turn to Quran for guidance unless educated and thinking people get through to them before that time and get them on the proper as explained in the Quran. The last minute struggle has greater chance of failure and many nations therefore ended up destroying themselves because when they realised the errors of their ways it was already too late to turn things round.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] HAA MEEM.

2] Sent by the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

This verse explains what Islam is all about ie it is a way of life for living in this world that secures humanity psychologically, biologically and sociologically. It provides food for mind and body of people to ensure their proper nurture or growth and development. So people who think Islam is just another religion not a social system should pay attention. The Quran repeatedly tells mankind it is all about a proper human society in this world. This is why it is all about politics and economics because without proper management of human population and resources none can get humanity out of all the troubles it is facing. The Quranic reminders of human history serves the purpose of lessons because most people in the past did not think that divine guidance can deliver them the goods and ended up destroying themselves. On the contrary those who accepted divine way of life to live by survived in a blissful and dignified way till they too fell apart due to not keeping up with requirements of heavenly kingdom. Not only that but once divine kingdoms ended it was never possible for nations to bring them back without fulfilling the requirements for re-establishment of divine kingdom. This is why at whatever stage people think they are they must fulfil the requirements to move on to next stage in regard to establishment of kingdom on basis of guidance of Allah. No matter whatever else people do it will never deliver them the blissful kingdom nor help its continuation.

3] a book goals and guidelines of which are readily distinguishable from all others that people follow, a reading in a distinct language for people to learn and understand

Here mankind are told that way of life advised by Allah is very different and distinct from all the ways of life which people adopt for themselves but the question is what is the difference? It is based upon community spirit ie living for each other not against each other for personal gains. This is why when people live to help and support each other there comes about a brotherhood and a human society that is very good for human growth and development. It brings people reasons to live for instead of people looking forward to committing suicides because their life becomes a misery and a burden. One has to think how good one’s life becomes when in a family the people involved live for each other and how miserable life becomes when people in a family live to tear each other apart. If in a society a family can tear each other apart then people should become alarmed what kind of society are we creating and living in? What kind of world are we handing over to our future generations? In religion based societies people are stuck in rut because they do not want to have anything to do with material world because it is said to be evil. Then we see every day in the news what holy men of religions get up to for material gains. All because religious beliefs which are actually make beliefs and rituals do not deliver what holy men promise in the names of their Gods. This world is all made of matter which is frozen form of energy. All living things are made of matter and have needs and wants and their needs cannot be fulfilled without material things so to avoid material world is avoiding life itself.

Therefore religion based ways of life are clearly falsehood created by stupid people to make fool of other ignorant people. So one has to ask these people who cannot benefit themselves and each other what purpose does life have for them? These people have invented terms for religious purpose and public at large must try and ask them questions about them as to what are they really trying to explain or accomplish through them? Have they been successful in what they were trying to achieve or have they failed themselves? Religions and sects are failures because they have divided mankind and set them up against each other in the name of false gods. Their gods are false because they are their self created gods that are not based on proper interpretations of their scriptures. True God can only be the one who has sent information for mankind that explains for them things in a way that makes sense to them in light of their own self awareness and in light of their awareness about realities of real world with which they interact. Anything that contradicts their life experience is only and only a make belief or falsehood. This is what the Quran is explaining in its verses and surahs. The Quran keeps bringing up the idea that the world and mankind have been created for a set purpose. Having that purpose in front of our minds if we look at rest of things that go with it according to the Quran they make perfect sense because they fit with each other like pieces of same jigsaw puzzle. The ultimate goal is human awareness of their creator through expressing their own creativity. It is because God expressed his creativity in form of this universe and his revelation which is today with us in form of the Quran. What could be bigger expression of creativity of humanity than understanding divine creation and revelation and seeing the actual relationship between the two?

Study of creation helps understand revelation and study of revelation helps mankind understand things about creation. It is like looking at two complementary things side by side in order to figure out how they work together as a complete unit. Can humanity really explore universe or understand revelation as individuals independent of each other? The answer is they cannot even exist without help of each other never mind doing other things without each other. So unity is what helps mankind move forward in knowledge and practice. This is why people must come together and work together to accomplish bigger things like exploring universe to see what it is all about. The Quran therefore gives humanity basis for unity ie it sets for it as a goal peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. It then sets out terms and conditions or guidelines that humanity must follow in order to get to that goal. So one can see how each thing the Quran talks about fits together nicely without any conflict between them. A clear proof that the Quran is no ordinary book. This is why people must follow the Quran and not mullahs because the Quran does not approve personality cults instead it condemns mullahs and their supporters because they lead masses away from the actual message of Allah into nonsense make beliefs and useless ritualism. So long as people do not make each other realise this people will keep on falling victims to mullahs, rulers and money lenders and therefore victims to social, political, economic and religious divisions, hatred and wars.

4] that gives good news to those who look forward to a blissful and dignified life based on its guidance and delivers warning to those who refuse to live by it yet most of the people follow it not.

The Quran repeatedly tells mankind to follow advice of Allah but people instead follow their mullahs blindly. Knowing well that what mullahs tell them makes no sense because it contradicts everything they have learned throughout their life experiences. All this because they are being lazy not bothered with making efforts to learn the Quranic message for themselves. This unity of lazy and crazy mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of people is keeping the world from moving full speed ahead. People are hardly willing to get up and do things unless they are forced out of their comfort zones by their situations and circumstances. Yet same people expect the world to become a blissful place as if such things are going to happen all by themselves without anyone doing them. When most of the world is lacking inspiration and is so motiveless then one has to ask oneself why should anyone else get up and do anything for such lazy people? Does this not give a good excuse to those who use and abuse such people? This is why capitalism is such a powerful idea because it gives such people incentive to get what they want out of their lives. By the time these lazy people realise it is too late already for them. One has to ask oneself, how many people really make effort to get education for themselves?

This is why masses remain ignorant and because they remain ignorant they fail themselves when it comes to competing for jobs? So one can see that there are very serious problems with humanity that most people are lazy and motiveless and some are crazy who love using and abusing others so these complementary mindsets, attitudes and behaviours are resulting in a world order that we have throughout the world. The rich are filthy rich and poor are right down in gutter. Among these mad people there are some sane people as well who tell everyone that these ways to live are not good instead live the way you have been told by your creator and sustainer because you have been created for a set purpose. A purpose that cannot be served by people who lack inspiration or a people who are only motivated by sense of personal gains regardless what seriously damaging affects it has on the rest of the human population. This is why people need a proper but a clear message and that cannot come from lazy and crazy mullahs or rulers or money lenders or those who suck up to them. Only God could inspire people through his words of wisdom but that needs wise people to explain divine message to masses properly and people then need to verify what they are told for themselves in order to ensure they have not been had. Allah therefore condemns blind faith the mullahs promote in order to become important in eyes of masses so that then they could exploit humanity for their own ends.

5] Instead they say, our mindsets, attitudes and behaviours are averse to what you are calling us to so there is no chance that we will ever adhere to what you say because there is an opposition between your way of looking at life and our way of looking at life, you are just as human as we are so what you says is nothing better than what we know ourselves, so you carry on working your way and we will keep on working our way.

6] Say O messenger, it is true that I am as human as you are but there has come to me the message that your Creator and Sustainer is the only ruler for you, therefore stand upon His advised foundation in order to work for your blissful and dignified existence because there in is bad news for future of those who take rulers other than Him

These like verses condemn the concept of separation between affairs related to God and people and affairs related to state and people. Or one can see condemnation of people who separate kingdom of God from kingdom of humanity. Separation between state and God is a conspiracy against divine guidance by those who are happy to use and abuse others for their personal gains. This is why these people spread false propaganda against the Quran by funding mullahs who then show masses Islam is a religion just like any other religion. The truth is religion is a false concept or a misnomer in light of all holy books. This concept was brought in to justify rule by people instead of God and the rule by people ever since it came about always used and abused humanity at large.

7] such as contribute nothing towards establishing an economic system that ensures growth and development of humanity and all because they refuse to work for the better future of humanity as a whole.

This verse tells mankind again why such people are a problem who do not work for better future of humanity. On one hand they are held back by mullahs’ teachings who tell them materialism is something bad to work for and trap them in false concept of destiny that they will get what God has already decided for them so it matters not they work for it or not, and on the other they are used and abused by rulers for their personal gains. In this case mullahs again tell them it is will of God about them so they should accept it and be patient till next life when Allah will reward them and punish their users and abusers. So one can see what part mullahs have been playing in getting humanity in frame of mind that is harmful and destructive for it. It shows mullahs have been at the forefront of misleading humanity from the actual message of God on behalf of their masters.

8] As for those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of humanity and work hard for growth and development of humanity there is an unending outcome for their unending actions for their better future.

Words GHAIRU MUMNOON mean something which is not a free gift but is results of an effort or effect of a cause or consequence of an action etc. GHAIR is from root GHAIN,YAA and RAA and MUMNOON is from root MEEM, NOON and NOON. Both roots have many other meanings as well.

This verse leaves one in no doubt that future of mankind depends upon themselves as to which way they choose to live how they negotiate their journey of life along that path. Outcome is good if path is proper for living a life and it is negotiated properly otherwise it is all sighs and cries. The Quran negates the concept of predestination by God because it tells mankind you have been given ability to choose and given the guidance to help you make the proper choice but you are free to do as you like and the systems and laws are put place to ensure proper outcome of your beliefs and actions as per your own choices.

9] Say, by accepting the concepts and the way you are accepting them and by doing things the way you are doing them are you not denying the existence and sovereignty of the One Who brought about the earth in two stages and are you not denying His existence and sovereignty by taking on other rulers in His place while according to Him He is the sole Creator and Sustainer therefore sole ruler for all the nations in the world?

Attention needs to be paid to the phrase KHALAQAL ARDA FEE YAWMAINI. As explained already root of word khalaqa has various meanings eg creation, evolution, bring about, character, manner or conduct etc etc. Likewise root of word ARD has various meanings eg world, the earth, this solar system, this galaxy, down trodden people, starting point, foundation, base or beginning or nearest reference point as opposed to far end reference point etc etc. Word YAWM root also has various meanings eg day, period, era, stage, event, time, history, reference point, world etc etc. This phrase could be telling us God created this earth or this world in two days of a particular duration or in two stages or as two different events eg first came about universe and then due to supernova secondary explosion of a star in this galaxy there came about this solar system ie the sun and its planets? The universe is 13 billion plus years old but the solar system is 4 billion plus years old. Elsewhere the Quran tells us Allah created the universe in SITTATI AYYAAM ie periods or events or stages. Here root of word SITTA not only means number six but also extension or expansion of same process in stages one after the other.

These verses are challenging human ignorance by Allah separating his own actions from actions of people. He accepts that people do things and that he rewards them with outcomes of their actions fully but people ignore the part Allah plays in this universe including daily life of people here on this very earth. Since this surah is talking about two very different ways of life, one leading to blissful life and other to miserable life, Allah wants to drive home the point that you the people did not originate this universe and things in it that have been brought about by Allah. All you the mankind ever did is used the provided things to do whatever you did or still do. This is the partnership between Allah and human beings. Yet when it comes to taking over things mankind just grab everything despite the fact that very little belongs to them for which they made their own effort. By not living in this world the way the creator says people breach the contract or covenant with God. This causes all sorts of problems for mankind themselves and then they complain to Allah when he told them right from the start, don’t do things this way. All because human beings claim rights over things they have not been given any rights. To decide who gets what is up to Allah because he created everything and he has given people guidelines regarding rights and responsibilities because he has set people some goals to accomplish. If people are not interested in what Allah has to say then they can do as they like and suffer the consequences. Where is sense in complaining to Allah instead of people putting things right between themselves as taught by Allah? Since Allah has created everything people have no right to act as owners of things other than Allah or even in addition to Allah. If Allah has allowed them use of things to some degree in some ways they should stick to that limit and should not transgress the set limits or consequences are bound to be serious for mankind.

10] Moreover He raised from within the earth the land masses rising high above its surface and He placed therein things of need for things in abundance according to set measures in four stages for sustenance of all things in it that depend upon it for their needs.

Word JAALA is from root JEEM, AIN and LAAM which has various meanings eg consequence, result, outcome, effect, scarab, wage, reward, bribe, payment set aside for a task to be carried out, create, make, to place, to constitute, to put, to bribe, to place, to raise, to bring about etc etc.

Word RAWAASIYAA is from root RAA, SEEN, and WOW. It means mountain standing firm, to come to stand firm, to dock, to hold firmly in place, be or become stable, to be able to serve the purpose, to be in position or state to meet set requirements, to anchor, to sink in something into something eg a peg firmly driven into the ground for tying animals or tents etc, to drive in, to mend, to effect reconciliation, to break into down pour etc etc.

Root of word ARBAATI not only means four or forth or forty etc but also prosperity and growth or a period of time when people are satisfied with their lives or meet their assigned responsibilities etc etc.

A special note about prepositions and conjunctions etc used in the Quran. They are open to wide range of interpretations and can be used in place of each other. It must also be noted that in old interpretations of the Quran, grammar rules were derived through making sense of the Quranic text as it was understood by the interpreters. So if they made any mistakes in understanding a text then their derived rules could also be mistaken. It is because the actual text has priority not the grammar rules because text existed before grammar rules were derived from it or language was spoken before it was written down. So it is understanding of the Quranic text that is important not Arabic grammar unless it fits the text and its context. So text of the Quran must not be bent to fit the grammar but grammar rules must be discarded where they do not fit the Quranic text. This point is of fundamental importance to realise because language was spoken long before people realised it was spoken according to some rules or not. The Quran was revealed long before Arabic grammar rules were derived from the Quranic text. To explain this further let me explain development of language in a baby as he grows. At any stage when a baby speaks, his speech makes perfect sense the way he speaks to his parents. Even when he cries it means something to his parents eg he may be hungry looking for feed. It means even sounds made by a baby could be interpreted perfectly by his parents. So whatever language was spoken by Arabs at the time of revelation of the Quran was perfect the way it was because people who spoke that language understood it between themselves perfectly as to what it meant.

Later people improved upon that language but Quranic text remained in the original language, it was not changed to suit later grammatical changes and rules driven from that language. This is why if anyone will try to understand the Quranic text according to later improvements in the language then one will become stuck because the Quranic text is still in the original form. This is why the Quran cannot be interpreted or translated word for word rather one has to translate concepts instead. This point most translators of the Quran missed and therefore they introduced bracketing to clarify the Quranic text which gives people sense of missing text in the Quran or as if people are correcting mistakes in the Quranic text. This translation practice has done a lot of damage to Quranic reputation because readers of those translations are making the very same mistake as the translators ie they too do not realise that original language of the Quran was understood and written down differently and was perfect as it was because the users of the language used it that way. It is like Morse Code which is understood perfectly by those who use it but not by those who have no idea how it works. It is a language in its own right. This is why those who are not familiar with such important points about the Arabic language of the Quran should not translate the text or they cannot avoid making serious mistakes. It is like asking a person decode Morse Code who has no idea what it is. Arabic words are of secondary importance because the main things are concepts attached to roots of words. This is why it is possible to replace old interpretations with new words because if you have description of something then you can given it new name to suit new situation without changing the original concept or the text. If an object is described as made of camel hair turned into woollen thread then it could be anything eg a blanket, a sweater or a coat etc.

However the problem only occurs when one is talking about a sweater in reality but the other person takes it as a blanket. This is why not just meanings given to the words are important but also which meanings suit the situation and circumstances in reality. This is why the Quranic text cannot be interpreted properly unless people are familiar with concepts attached to roots of its words but are also familiar with actual realities the Quran is talking about. Root of word SAMAA has many meanings but only those should be used that fit in with the context of the Quran in light of realities it is talking about. Any other interpretations are only and only misinterpretations. Pots made of clay are earthenware but if one is talking about a cup in his hand then we cannot say it is cooking pot one is talking about. What happens with concepts over a period of time is that one concepts becomes more used so that becomes normal and others go in the background and after a while people just think that other concepts never existed. This is also why the Quranic text has become more difficult to reinterpret because people have become so used to certain existing concepts that were spread by mullahs to give legitimacy to themselves and their kings and the money lenders that people think that any other interpretation of the Quran in incorrect. Mullahs have been spreading concepts of miracles, make beliefs and ritualism in the name of Islam and so Islam became a religion in eyes of the world instead of deen. This is why when anyone interprets the Quran rationally as book of deen people think the Quran has been misinterpreted. It is because they have become so used to makes beliefs and ritualism they have become frozen in that concept. Only because religious concepts and rituals make no sense that people start rethinking about their beliefs and deeds and turn to concept of deen. However not all people make that much effort to find out things for themselves. This is why we do not see much effort made by many people in trying to reinterpret the Quranic text to get the proper message of the Quran and to spread that concept and that is why ummah is in a terrible state of confusion about Islam as to what it exactly is ie a deen or a mazhab. This work is an attempt to show people that it is possible to understand the Quranic text properly at least to a great degree even if not totally. I am very sure that if people started in this direction they will be able to produce greater works much, much better than this work. However it will take time because ideas expressed in this work are not easy to grasp.

11] However in due course when He decided to turn the planned universe into a reality it was just a cloud of gas but He set-up systems and laws for it and this solar system to come about through forces of attraction and repulsion. They expressed themselves in form of consistency with His program.

Word DUKHAAN is from root DAAL,KHAA and NOON. It means smoke or something like smoke. Cloud of dust, haze, mist, mirage, confusion, fine particles of matter that are scattered in form of a cloud, hot gas or steam etc etc.

12] That is how He turned them into many galaxies and many solar systems in those galaxies in two steps and made every solar system to come to being complete with all its details in due course. That is how He adorned this universe with massive brilliant stars and made it secure against any malfunction. Such are the set-up systems and laws of the mighty ruler of this universe who makes things obvious for mankind to observe and understand.

13] Yet if they turn away from this guidance then say to them, I have delivered to you warning about a mind-blowing revolt, like the upheaval which struck Aad and Thamood.

14] When their messengers came to them from the generations before them and from the generations after them saying to them, take no rulers other than Allah instead of heeding their call they said, if our Creator and Sustainer wanted to send us a message then He should have sent it down through His own officials from the heavens not through any common man like ourselves therefore we oppose the message with which you are sent.

It was better if people heard what was said and not who said it because importance is not of any person but of message as to how good it could be for people for whom it is sent. This is what respect for right and wrong and law and order is all about. If a people have a mindset, attitude and behaviour that does not let other people speak and be heard then such people are nothing more than animals in human forms.

15] As for Aad, they acted to make themselves dominant against each other by undermining each other in the world without having the right to do so and challenged, who is stronger than us in might in the world? They lived by the concept of might is right but could they not realise that Allah Who created them was mightier than them yet he does not use His might to prove himself right, for He uses reason and evidences to prove His point and to make people learn what is right that way? Yet they continued fighting against Our set out goals and guidelines.

16] So over a few days that spelt trouble for them, Our set-up systems and laws let loose upon their ruling elite a furious hurricane of angry people in form of revolt to make them taste a shameful scourge as a result of the way they lived their lives, but more painful suffering was yet to follow them in due course as their way of life worsened their situation. All this because they had nothing to rely upon to help themselves out of this crisis.

If a people turn their backs on divine guidance then moral foundation is gone so people become a crowd of angry people who take their frustration out against each other leading each other straight into life of hell by their own making.

17] As for Thamood, We offered them Our guidance but they preferred remaining blind rather than accepting guidance towards the proper way of life, so the thunderbolt of humiliating scourge in form of revolt and upheaval by their angry victims seized their ruling elite for their misdeeds.

18] However We delivered Our promised secure life for those who committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind because they became consistent with Our guidance and thereby each other.

The divine promise is very clear to all people that they will end up living either in paradise or in hell as per their own choice of way of living their lives. The life becomes what people make it for themselves or each other. Fighting each other will always end them in life of hell and working together caring and sharing will lead them into life that is worth living.

19] However beware of the time period when opponents of guidance of Allah are brought together by their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours to lead each other into life of hell because they hinder each other from progress and prosperity.

20] In due course when they reach that state of existence, their ears and their eyes and their bodies bear evidence as to what they have been doing to reach this state of existence.

These verses may also be interpreted in sense of institutions for listening and observations and administrative or governing bodies. However when a people are in serious trouble they show signs of that trouble through their appearance as to how they have been battered by that trouble or how that trouble has worn them out. The people who keep fighting with each other end up with lots of scars and wounds which are clearly visible on them for all to see. Likewise societies that live their lives in a certain way show signs of that way of life. People get involved in doing things knowing what is going to happen to them but still they go ahead and do what they think they need to do for their own satisfaction. The realisation whether what they did was good or bad for them only comes after the results of those actions confront them.

21] So they say to their administrative bodies, what was the point in you bearing witness to our deeds? They reply, Allah Who gives ability for expressing themselves to everything has also given us the human beings the voice to express ourselves. He is the One Who evolved you the mankind as the ultimate creation so that you refer to His guidance to fulfil His set purpose.

22] Yet you did not take cover against those who witnessed your mindset, attitude and behaviour lest they watched you, not against your listeners nor against your observers or against your administrative institutions while committing crimes because you thought that Allah will not make evident the results of most of what you do against each other.

23] This thought of yours which you entertained concerning your Creator and Sustainer has brought you to harm and destruction and now you have become of those who are utterly in loss.

24] So now they show patience or not the fire of hatred they ignited themselves remains their home and even if they try to be consistent with Our guidance from now on they have not given themselves enough time to turn things round.

The Quran clearly states that any people who have gone beyond stage of recovery cannot make a comeback. So it is very important that people never let themselves down so badly that they end up utterly destroying themselves.

25] We let people have like minded intimate friends they choose for themselves but for those who ended up choosing such friends as made their past and future harmful and destructive actions against each other look good to them Our forewarnings became real in the past both for generations of the ruling elites and the masses that supported them that they will surely end up destroyed if they followed not Our guidance.

26] These chiefs of opponents of Our guidance say to their supporters, do not let this Quran reach the masses whenever it is proclaimed by organising campaign against it so that you could drown its message and people who proclaim it.

27] We will certainly let these opponents of Our guidance face consequences of their own actions and reward them with outcome for the worst of their misdeeds.

28] Such terrible agony is the outcome for such actions of such opponents of guidance of Allah, in which they remain for as long as they live, a fitting outcome for their fighting against Our goals and guidelines.

29] In that state of existence some of these opponents of Our guidance will say, our Creator and Sustainer, avail us the opportunity to confront those from among our ruling elite and their supporters who misled us so that we trample them under our feet so that they are utterly humiliated by us.

30] As for those who declare, our Creator and Sustainer is Allah and then faithfully follow His guidance, Our missionaries come to them for encouragement and support saying, let nothing worry or grieve you instead rejoice because of the good news about establishment of blissful kingdom that has been promised to you.

31] We are your supporters in life as it is at present as well as in life as it will be in the future. Therein you will find all that your person will desire because therein you will have all that you will work for.

32] Something that will result due to your following of provided blissful program that provides life of security.

33] So who is better in speech than the one who calls people towards guidance of Allah therefore acts to facilitate growth and development of mankind and says, I commit to working according to a way of life that leads to life of peaceful existence?

34] Works of people that make life of mankind beautiful are not same as works of people that make life of mankind ugly. So replace works that make life of humanity ugly by works that make life of mankind beautiful because that way between you and any who has animosity with you will become your cordial friend.

35] However none can attain such mindset, attitude and behaviour save those who constantly and consistently make effort towards this goal and none can attain such personality save those who strive for it greatly.

36] So if at any time you the mankind are tempted by the harmful and destructive leadership to inflict harm and destruction upon each other, seek protection against that by bringing about the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. He is indeed the One fully aware of all things therefore makes things obvious for mankind to follow the proper course of actions.

37] Among His lessons to observe and learn from are the night, the day, the sun and the moon. Do not submit yourselves to the sun or the moon instead submit yourselves to guidance of Allah Who created them if you truly wish to abide by His guidance.

38] Yet if they seek dominance against each other by undermining each other by disregarding Our guidance then let them know that people who are faithfully following guidance of their Creator and Sustainer strive hard to manifest His glorify day and night and never think of themselves above the need for His guidance.

39] Moreover among His lessons to observe and learn from is land which you see as barren but when We send down rain upon it, it is stirred to life thereby its yields increase. Surely He Who gives life to it can also raise the nations that have fallen by inspiring them back to life fully motivated and energised. Certainly He has set-up systems and laws to govern all affairs of all things.

40] Surely those who oppose Our set out goals and guidelines for mankind have no regard for Our guidance but which people fare better the ones who end up in their self created fire of hatred by ignoring Our guidance or the ones who come through challenges of life safe and sound on the day appointed because of following Our guidance? Do things as you choose but surely He has proper understanding of what you ought to be doing.

This verse is telling mankind that there are people who do not learn enough to appreciate value of divine guidance and as a result keep on living on basis of survival of the fittest which is life of divisions and hatred and wars leading to terrible damage and destruction upon humanity by human beings themselves. The idea is as people live as rivals and rivalry heats up people become so divided that a day comes when one group rises up against the other. This uprising is inevitable so long as people carry on living for themselves at the expense of each other. On the contrary people who learn sufficiently to be able to appreciate value of divine guidance therefore live by it they also end up establishing the promise kingdom and that is how they avoid harm and destruction of the day of uprising that their opponents face. Allah is telling mankind that being a creator and sustainer of this universe and things in it he has knowledge about things therefore can give advice on how people should live. This verse also tells mankind that they are free to do as they please and are not bound by what is said to be inevitable predestined future. In other words the Quran rejects the idea of fatalism. The Quran explains things in a very straight forward way that God has set up systems and laws and anyone who does anything gets the outcome linked to those actions eg if one puts his hand in fire it gets burnt but if one does not then it does not get burnt. Whether one puts one’s hand in fire or not is up to oneself not up to Allah because he does not interfere in matters he has set for people to deal with as they choose. Or that set-up systems and laws of Allah play their role and man plays his role and the outcome is result of participation of all participants. Allah has created man like a self programming robot with clues here and there to guide him. Man does not need such guidance from Allah like a blind man is taken by his hand and helped across the busy road. Man has been given great brain, senses and body to accomplish great things just like what he has accomplished so far though he could have done even better had he paid attention to divine guidance as he ought to. It is because rivalry between people has wasted a lot of human energy and effort because it has been dissipated by rivalries between people instead of accomplishing the needed tasks. So man has not learned enough yet to realise his such great mistakes in living his life.

41] Surely those who try to prevent Our this message from spreading properly- because it has come to them despite the fact that it is a mighty book containing program, constitution and law for them-

42] cannot overcome it through their falsehood be it by open confrontation or their secret plotting. It is sent by the wise ruler of this universe whose glory is self evident for those who have attained the eye to observe to understand things properly.

43] Nothing is said to you O messenger by these people of yours that was not said to the messengers before you. The fact is, your Creator and Sustainer is provider of guidance for securing blissful and dignified existence of mankind as well as the One Who has set-up systems and laws to deliver painful outcome of terrible actions by mankind against each other.

44] Had We revealed this Quran to you in a language other than Arabic they would have said, why its messages have not been made clearly distinct for our understanding? Why it is in a language that is incapable of clarity when the nature of the message demands clarity? Say O messenger, it is a guidance and solution for all problems for those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind but those who do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind in their invitation to their way of life is crookedness yet it remains hidden on them due to their keeping themselves from wider awareness. The state of awareness of these people is such as if they are being called upon from a great distance.

This verse is drawing human attention to so many different points. One of them being why the Quran is sent in Arabic instead of any other language. As already explained elsewhere that Arabic is a unique language in this era because it links mankind to their past languages as well as their future languages. The root system and concepts attached to roots makes it most suitable language for divine message because things change and languages change over time and if a message is sent for a long period of time then a language that can preserve such a message and its clarity is a necessity. For this purpose people should study what language experts have written in the past about Arabic as a language and about the text of the Quran. By knowing each of them and how they work together one will realise how the Quranic text and the language of the text support each other. Arabic is not a grammar based language rather grammar is derived from Arabic text of the Quran because the Quranic text was the only text that was used by Arabs to preserve their language and its use. This is why all Arabic dictionaries are written by quoting the Quranic verses in their support for determining the meanings of words and phrases. This is why if any text has been misunderstood by writers of interpretations and explanations of the Quran or writers of dictionaries then it could still be corrected without any need for change in the Quranic text. One has to realise that languages came about naturally as result of human migration which led to separation between groups of mankind as humanity spread throughout the world. Not only that but languages were also invented by some people to exclude others from knowing what they were up to. This is how secret or spy languages were brought about by one section of same community against the others to secure their personal interests and gains. This is why languages came about or were brought about by people for various reasons to suit themselves.

This is why no interpretation of the Quran and no dictionary of Arabic language is correct unless the author of the writing properly understood the text one interpreted to begin with. Later works where they are based upon old mistaken works therefore cannot be and should not be accepted authentic. All this because the Quran is consistent within itself as well as with respect to real world realities. Any irrational interpretation of the Quran is therefore false but why people will write false interpretations of the Quran? This has been explained already because the Quran is full of verses where it tells us that people throughout times and places have been targeting the divine guidance in order to cover it up or to drown it or bury it or destroy it in any way they could in order to live their lives the way they wished free of any set limits. Personal gain based mindsets, attitudes and behaviours always attacked the idea of human community which is at the heart of Quranic message. This is why even today people can see how much emphasis is placed upon personal success at the expense of human cost. Just as imperial power became concentrated in a few hands and gave way to power of mullaism and just as mullah power concentrated into a few hands and gave rise to power struggles between monarchs and mullahs that paved the way for money lenders. The money power is also becoming concentrated into a few hands eg today less than 1% of human population has more money power than whole of rest of human population. So these people work together to prevent the clear Quranic message from reaching human population clearly because if it did their dominance our rest of humanity will come tumbling down. This is why they support all sorts of movements by mullahs or secularists that put the Quranic message in a bad light or in wrong contexts. DEEN versus Mazhab is part of foundational Quranic stance because way of life advised by Allah is in clear contrast to manmade ways of life. The Quran powerfully distinguishes between the two and argues for its stance perfectly throughout including this surah.

45] Before this Quran, We gave a book to Moses for guidance yet people with harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours created divisions among themselves. Had it not been for the guidance that came from your Creator and Sustainer the division between them would have resulted in their complete destruction yet the mankind dare keep each other confused about His guidance to such degree that it leads them to self destruction through instability of mind and action.

46] The message is clear that any people who act to help humanity grow and prosper do so for the benefit of their own kind and any people who inflict harm and destruction upon each other do so to harm and destroy their own kind because your Creator and Sustainer never lets harm and destruction come to a people who live by His guidance as a proper human community.

47] Upon response to His guidance rests how the Hour becomes an evident reality for mankind, a time of upheavals or accomplishment of His kingdom. No result appears before its action, nor a community carries through its responsibility or faces its outcome but according to His provided information about His set-up systems and laws. On the day when Allah will confront those who oppose His guidance through His set-up systems and laws saying, where are those rulers that you took for My partners in sovereignty of this universe? They will acknowledge that none of us can bear witness to right of their rulership in this universe.

This like verses in the Quran tell mankind that a time will come when people who try to fight against divine guidance will be forced by the facing situations and circumstances that the ruling systems they live by and people who gave them that ruling system are falsehood promoters because they will lead them to harmful and destructive ends they are warned against by the message of Allah.

48] That is how those upon whom they would have relied as rulers earlier will leave them in lurch because they will come to realise that they have no way to escape the situation they have brought upon themselves.

49] Mankind never get tired of seeking personal gains at the expense of each other yet as a result of this if any face harm and destruction at the hands of each other then such people fall in to despair losing all hope about recovering from this situation.

50] However even after this like affliction if We let any such people experience life of blissful existence due to program from Us yet each of them says, it all belongs exclusively to me and that I do not think that the bad time will ever come upon me and even if I am brought to the book according to my Creator and Sustainer, I still expect a beautiful treatment by Him. However the fact is We let the opponents of Our guidance know the outcome of all that they do in due course therefore We let them experience the pain suffering they bring upon themselves.

51] This is how when We bestow prosperity upon mankind due to Our blissful program one turns away and drifts off to the opposite way of life and when harm and destruction befalls him as a result, he comes up with lengthy list of desires to be out of this situation without really bothering to know Our program and acting upon it faithfully.

52] Say to such people O messenger, have you entertained the possibility that if this Quran is in actual fact from Allah
yet you oppose it then who can be more in loss than you the mankind who have gone too far in opposing it out of animosity towards each other?

The Quran draws attention to the point that to Allah all people are same as human beings but those who use their provided brains, senses and bodies properly to be real human beings instead of remaining animals are valued more. It is these people who should be valued by humanity as well who take mankind forward into better future. Any people who take mankind down the lane of harm and destruction should be stopped and educated out of their stupidity and ignorance or mankind cannot stay safe from their mischiefs unless they isolate them and corner them till they change their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. This is why the Quranic program, constitution and guidelines for laws must be considered seriously by mankind to ensure not just their survival but dignified existence as well.

53] Let them know that if they will consider this Quran in detail then in due course We will draw their attention to Our stated evidences in the Quran about this universe as well as about their own persons until it becomes manifestly clear to them that this Quran is indeed based upon verifiable evidences. Is the Quran then not sufficient for their guidance because it is testimony of your Creator and Sustainer Who is a witness over everything?

This verse needs a huge explanation because it is one of the most comprehensive verses which is beyond scope of this work. Just one point for consideration of people that look at universal realities and human brains, senses and bodies as well as the Quranic program for mankind. See how complementary they are to each other. If people were like other animals then could they accomplish the Quranic program? Has any other animal been considered for the Quranic program? Is any other animal even close enough to human beings to be able to meet the divine standard set for human beings? What does all this tell us? It tells us that the universe and human beings and the Quran are all works of same highly intelligent being. Otherwise a monkey could not accomplish the Quranic program because it does not have the brain capacity to do that nor the senses or the body fit for that purpose. This is why no animal will ever invent things that mankind will invent for exploring and travelling the universe. Human beings are the ultimate living beings that Allah has created for giving them his program to fulfil his set goals. As explained already the Quran is a special book unlike any other book ever written by mankind. When people will start paying needed attention to this book they will find it contains banks full of useful information. This work is only the start to draw peoples’ attention towards it. The Quran is not a holy book for worshiping of any self centred God but a book that teaches mankind how to manage human population and given resources in order to show human capabilities and potential for development that Allah has placed in human beings so that people one day realise greatness of their creator through their own creativity. Worshiping as is thought of by people due to their own ignorance does not need all this that has been told about in the Quran. Sajdah simply means accepting the set out course of actions by the valid authority in the Quranic context ie submission to the program of Allah.

54] Are they still in doubt about living by set out standard for them by their Creator and Sustainer? Is it still not clear to them that all things are under His full control?

Surah 42 AL-SHOORAA-The mutual consultation and interaction between mankind to find the proper way of life that leads them to unity, peace, progress and prosperity

This surah is named AL-SHOORAA from root SHEEN, WOW and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is squeezing honeycomb to draw honey from it. It also means to arrive at a decision or conclusion regarding a matter through deliberation and consultation with each other. Since through consultation regarding a matter a final decision or agreement is reached as the end result therefore it is like squeezing the essence out of a food product ie in this case food for thought using a particular process. To collect honey from honeycomb, to draw a conclusion or to come to an agreement through consultation, to expose or present something, the process or technique used in the process of gathering things or ideas together to draw conclusion or come to an agreement, to have a discussion or discourse or debate etc etc.

This surah is named AL-SHOORAA because the Quran talks about formation of a proper human community based upon the foundation provided by the Quran as model therefore mutual consultation and interaction between mankind is absolutely necessary to keep each other right and in check.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] Haa Meem.

2] Ain Seen Qaaf.

3] For the very same purpose revelation is sent to you people also as it was sent to people before you by Allah the mighty wise ruler of this universe.

4] To Whom belongs all that is in all the galaxies throughout the universe including all that is in this galaxy. He is the ultimate authority that is supreme above all.

5] The people in positions of power over the masses are about to tumble down because Our missionaries are working hard to manifest glory of their Creator and Sustainer in order to secure existence of those who are sunk into the earth. Be aware that Allah is protector of mankind through His blissful program.

6] As for those who take protectors other than Him Allah is keeping them under His guard through set-up system and laws so you are not responsible for carrying out their obligations and responsibilities for them.

7] That is why We have sent to you this Quran in Arabic so that you could warn the residents of the Mother of Cities and people in its suburbs and alert them about the coming of the time in which there is no doubt when people will be brought together. One group will end up in blissful kingdom and the other group will end up in crowd for uprising and upheavals full of fire of hatred against each other.

8] If it was only up to blissful program of Allah, He could have made all of them a single nation living in a blissful kingdom but He admits to His blissful kingdom only such as express desire for it through their hard works based upon His blissful program. So those who inflict harm and destruction upon each other for their personal gains they can have neither any protector nor any helper.

9] Have they taken up rulers other than Him? The fact is, it is only Allah Who can protect mankind because He is the one Who raises nations after their fall through His motivating and inspiring program because He has set-up systems and laws to deal with all affairs concerning all things.

10] Say to mankind that whatever your differences and fights, to solve them refer to wisdom provided by Allah, such capable of solving all your problems is guidance of Allah my creator and sustainer so rely upon it and keep referring to it always.

11] Because He alone is originator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you mates from among yourselves just as He has made mates among animals, that is how He multiplies you. There is nothing like unto Him and He makes that obvious for mankind through His revelation expressing the extent of His observation and understanding of things.

12] In His guidance rest keys to secrets in the heavens and the earth. He provides abundantly to any people who show desire for it through their efforts and limits His provision for those who show no such desire through their efforts. He makes obvious for mankind everything through His revelation they ought to be aware of.

13] He has advised for you the mankind the same way of life always which He advised for people of Noah, the way of life which We have revealed to you O Muhammad, the one We advised for people of Abraham, Moses and Jesus saying you should establish the advised way of life and cause no divisions in humanity through negative discriminations. Intolerable is that way of life to which you invite for those who choose to live by rules of other than Allah based upon personal gains. Allah chooses for His advised way of life such people as express their desire for it through their efforts because He guides to it whoever turns to it.

14] People did not divide into opposing factions until after discovering the idea of self interest and personal gains for themselves out of sense of domination among themselves by undermining each other. Had your Creator and Sustainer not set-up systems and laws to deal with affairs relating mankind their mutual destruction would have already occurred. The fact is those who have inherited the book after them are surely in destabilising doubt about it.

15] So call them to the proper way of life and stay firm on the proper way of life yourself as you are told and follow not their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires. Moreover say to them, I commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to what is revealed by Allah in form of the book whereby I am told to establish a just system among you the mankind. Allah is our creator and sustainer as well as yours. We are responsible for doing whatever we are obligated to do just as you are responsible for doing whatever you are obligated to do so that there are no reasons for fighting between us and you. In due course Allah will bring us together because to His message we all must turn for our proper guidance.

16] Those who fight concerning guidance of Allah after pledging allegiance to it their fighting is harmful and destructive for mankind in the sight of their Creator and Sustainer because upon them will fall fire of hatred and they will end up in terrible painful suffering.

17] It is Allah Who has revealed this book for a set purpose of guidance as a yardstick for the mankind to abide by and what will make you realize that perhaps the forewarned moment of upheaval is about to take place?

18] Only those who do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind seek to hurry it on because those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind dread its coming despite knowing that its coming is inevitable if mankind will not abide by guidance of Allah. So be aware that those who are in doubt concerning the hour of doom are far too much in confusion.

19] Allah is very kind to His human creatures. He provides with sustenance to whoever expresses desire by making efforts for it because He uses His power honourably.

20] Any people who decide to cultivate their community for long term blissful future will be given a many fold increase in their yield and any people who decide to cultivate their community for short term gains will get what they work for but such people cannot have share in creating a better future for themselves as a proper human community.

21] What! Have the ruling elite of those who oppose guidance of Allah set up rulers for them other than Allah so that in their names they could make lawful what Allah has not allowed for them to do to others because it is harmful for the mankind? Had guidance of Allah not clearly distinguished advised way of life by Allah from harmful and destructive ways of life people adopt by themselves then dispute between them would have ended in their mutual destruction already nonetheless those who inflict harm and destruction upon each other always end up in terrible painful suffering.

22] You can see that those who inflict harm and destruction upon each other fear the terrible consequences of their misdeeds but they are sure to befall them unless they stop living the way they do. On the other hand those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind therefore work hard to help growth and development of humanity will end up in blissful kingdoms. For them in there will be whatever they will desire according to program of their Creator and Sustainer. That will surely be a great achievement.

23] Such is the blessing about which Allah gives good news to His servants who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and deliver it through actions that help humanity grow and prosper. Say to them O messenger, I do not ask you for anything in return save your love for one another as a single human family. Any of you who will benefit any other person will be rewarded with outcome many times over because Allah surely protects mankind through proper use of His provided things.

24] Do they say, he has attributed this message falsely to Allah? But had that been the case then Allah would have found your mind sealed also just like theirs against His guidance. In fact Allah drives out falsehood from minds of people by proving the truth true by His words. Surely He makes obvious in due course what is hidden in minds of mankind against each other.

25] It is He Who gives opportunity for reformation to His human creatures by way of His guidance to take them out of life of harm and destruction to life of peace and prosperity because He makes known what you the people ought to be doing.

26] He fulfils the needs and wants of those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind by doing whatever helps growth and prosperity of humanity and gives them even more out of His bounty. As for those who oppose His guidance they are bound to end up in severe painful suffering as a result of their own misdeeds.

27] Had Allah bestowed abundance upon such of His human creatures, they would have transgressed against each other beyond all bounds in the world that is why He sends down sustenance for them in due measures as He deems fit, surely He is well aware and constantly observant of needs of His human creatures.

28] It is He Who sends down rain even after they have lost all hope and spreads thereby His blessings for mankind. He alone is protector of mankind and glory of His rule in the universe is self evident for mankind to see.

29] Among His lessons to observe and learn from is creation of the heavens and the earth so that He spreads the living creatures in them because His set-up system and laws are capable of bringing them both together as per His own plan.

This verse is pointing out something yet to be explored ie the purpose of creation of all the galaxies is so that living creatures spread throughout them in due course when humanity has become developed enough to do so. Once humans are able to live on other planets then other living things that people need for living will also be transported to them by people. At the moment it seems a farfetched idea but in time mankind will turn it into a reality. It may well take mankind thousands if not millions of years to get to that stage. Mankind will have to discover other ways of transporting themselves to other galaxies as travel by so far developed means of travelling are not good enough for this purpose.

30] However whatever difficulty befalls you the mankind in your growth and development it is the outcome of what you have done by your own hands even though for many of your misdeeds He has granted you some protection so that you could mend your ways and carry on.

31] You cannot frustrate His plan for you in this world because there is no protector or helper for you against Allah.

32] Among His lessons to observe and learn from are the ships travelling smoothly in the oceans looking tall like mountains in there.

In these verses Allah is talking about his plan for humanity and makes it very clear that even if people will not do things they are suppose to do through observing and learning from natural world and revelation yet set-up systems and laws will keep urging mankind to keep on moving in the right direction bit by bit. In other words there is quick way of doing things and there is also a slow way of doing things but things that need doing must be done is the message of the Quran in these verses. Allah expects a lot more creativity from human beings than they have shown so far. It is because mankind are not living their lives the way they are advised so that is keeping human progress to almost a stand still. Had humanity not wasted so much of its energy and manpower in fighting each other then it may have progressed far more than it has so far. This is why the Quran keeps repeating the issue of living the right way for mankind. It is because so long has humanity lives its life the stupid ways it will remain stuck in all sorts of problems which will keep it from making progress that it could if it lived the proper way. The situation is like a group of people have to build a building but instead of organising and getting on with building the building they pick fights with each other so the task they are supposed to accomplish remains where it is. This is why people if they really want to make progress and prosper then they must learn to live in peace and to work together so that real progress could be made which the Quran is telling us about in these like verses. Allah has created mankind to take over the universe but so long as people will keep on fighting each other they will not be able to do that. People need to concentrate on discoveries and inventions so that thereby they could help themselves spread throughout the universe in order to be able to make use of things the universe has to offer for the good of humanity. This is why human power should not be allowed to go to waste as is the case today. Personal gain idea must be given up and human community spirit must be kindled and the Quran should be given the centre stage that it deserves to develop science if we ought to be getting anywhere. Mullaism must be defeated decisively along with ruling elite and money lenders to free humanity from shackles of harmful and destructive leaders and the ways of living. Unless world embraces proper Quranic teachings properly mankind will not become free from wrong weights and burdens around their necks to move full speed ahead.

33] Had He planned He could have drawn wind from their sails leaving them motionless on their backs, surely therein are lessons to observe and learn from for each people constantly working hard to make proper use of provided things,

34] Or He could let them drown in their self created troubles but He gives them chances despite many of their misdeeds,

35] so let those who fight against Our revelations know that there is no escape for them from Our set-up systems and laws.

36] It is because you the mankind are not provided with anything but it is to facilitate your blissful and dignified existence. That is because in abiding by guidance of Allah rest all the benefits that are lasting for those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind therefore they should rely upon set-up systems and laws of their Creator and Sustainers.

37] Such as those who avoid inflicting grave harms upon each other whereby they could end up bringing upon themselves clouds of doom and gloom and those who protect themselves and others from harmful effects of their own harmful actions based on anger

38] such as those who respond to call of their Creator and Sustainer by establishing community network according to His guidance in the kingdom and decide all their social, political and economic affairs regarding individuals, communities and states through mutual consultation and use the sustenance We have provided them with for the benefit of mankind,

39] such as those who when they are oppressed or suppressed do not give in but help each other and defend themselves

40] but remember even then that fair retaliation against any damage inflicted upon them is a likewise damage inflicted by them upon their oppressors and suppressors however if a people let go retaliation for reconciliation then such people should have reparation according to set-up systems and laws of Allah. Surely He does not love such as inflict harm and destruction upon each other.

41] However failing reconciliation those who avenge damage when it is inflicted upon them by a party because that is the only option left to them then there is no blame upon them.

42] The blame rests only on those who inflict harm and destruction upon people by committing aggression against them to oppress them by conducting themselves in the land in a way they have no right to do. Such people themselves are bound to end up in painful suffering in due course as a result of their own misconduct.

43] However those who steadfastly and consistently defend and protect themselves against oppressors and suppressors, they surely exhibit great wisdom and courage in conducting their affairs.

44] But any party whom Allah finds still going about its life the wrong way for such there is no security against His set-up system and laws after He has made His guidance clear for them. So you will see that when such as inflict harm and destruction upon each other are in painful suffering in due course they will ask each other, is there any way we could retreat or retrace our steps to get out of this kind of existence?

45] Moreover you will see them brought down by each other humiliated looking at each other with stealthy glances before Our kingdom. Seeing their state of affairs those committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind will say to each other, the real losers are those leaders indeed who have lost themselves and their people by bringing upon themselves the day of uprising against which they were clearly warned. Be aware that those who inflict harm and destruction upon each other are bound to end up in painful suffer for a very long time.

46] And they will have no protectors who could help them against Allah. Any people whom Allah finds going away from His advised way of life such people have no way of escaping troublesome life.

47] Therefore respond properly to the call of your Creator and Sustainer properly before that day arrives which cannot be averted as per set-up systems and laws of Allah if you do not. There will be no refuge for you at that time against life of painful suffering nor will you be able to escape it any other way if you do bring it upon yourselves by not responding properly to His advice.

48] Still if they respond not properly to Our call then let them be aware of the fact that We have not sent you O messenger to be a standing guard over them. Your duty is only to convey Our message. Man is such that if We give him a taste of Our blissful program then he is happy with it due to being consistent with it but if through his own inconsistencies with Our program any harm afflicts him then that is because he misuses Our provisions.

49] However be aware that to Allah alone belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He evolves whatever He has planned. He lets a people go through periods of weaknesses as per their desire expressed through their conduct of affairs and He lets a people go through periods of strengths as per their desire expressed through their conduct of affairs,

50] or He lets a people go through periods of strengths as well as periods of weaknesses. However He lets a people perish who fail to accept the change for the better. That is why He makes obvious for mankind the set-up systems and laws for governing all affairs in His kingdom.

51] It is not consistent with plan of Allah that Allah should speak to each human being face to face therefore He chooses whoever He sees fit for His messengership and speaks to him through a medium to send him to his people so that he speaks to them on His behalf for whatever He wishes to convey. Surely He is authority over all Whose rule is based upon wisdom.

52] Likewise We revealed to you the people Our message regarding Our plan for you. You people did not know what law is nor how to live in peace and prosper and help other people live in peace and prosper but we made it a beacon for guidance to guide any community that expresses its desire for guidance through its conduct of affairs from among Our human creatures, so that you people guide mankind to the way of life that is right for peace and prosperity of mankind.

53] The way advised by Allah to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. So be aware that outcome of all affairs ultimately rests with set-up systems and laws of Allah.

Surah 43 AL-ZUKHRUF-The valuable foundation that inspires and motivates mankind to live in peace and prosper

This surah is named AL-ZUKHRUF from root ZAA, KHAA, RAA and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that has value because it is pure or beautiful or solid or serves its stated purpose. This root has other meanings as well eg gold, luxury, adornment, decoration, jewellery, flowery talk, deceitful words, land covered with flowers etc etc.

This surah is named AL-ZUKHRUF because the Quran talks about foundation for mankind that is valuable for their survival and progress as well as unity, peace and prosperity.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] HAA MEEM.

2] This book which makes clearly distinct the difference between ways of life is evidence

3] that We have revealed it as the Arabic Quran so that you the mankind could learn things properly to become a sensible people.

4] Because it is the very foundation of the law that originates from Us as the ultimate authority that is based upon wisdom.

5] How could We withhold of you the mankind this guidance and leave you in ignorance because you are a people who have been robbing each other of human dignity and livelihood?

6] Do you ever stop and think how many messengers have We sent among the people of old long before you?

7] Despite that whenever a prophet came to them from Us the chiefs and their supporters took him for a joke.

8] So We let them destroy themselves even though they had more power over their masses than these people, that is how We let the mindset, attitude and behaviour of people of old be a lesson for the generations to come.

9] However if you ask these people, who has created the heavens and the earth? They are sure to say, the mighty one who makes things obvious for mankind has created them.

10] Yes, the One Who has made the earth a temporary resting place for you and let therein be many routes for you so that you may find your ways for going about your daily life.

The earth is a temporary aboard not because it will become destroyed soon or that people keep on dying but because this is a training place for mankind to prepare themselves for travelling and spreading throughout the universe. As explained already that divine plan for mankind is vast about which people are not yet aware. People have yet to learn that paradise and hell is on this earth in this life that people have and once they have become the people they ought to as per divine plan then they will find many new things that will make their lives worth living for. In short there is no end to human development and growth as a species. The same is true about all living things that will make human existence possible as well as enrich human lives.

11] The One Who sends down rain from the heaven in due measure and thereby brings to life the dead land, that is how through His motivating revelation you will be brought forth from the earth to travel and spread throughout the universe.

12] The One Who has created all living things as supporters for each other and made for you the ships and living animals upon which you rely for your survival

13] so that you could firmly establish yourselves in the world on their backs and strive hard to benefit from provisions of your Creator and Sustainer in the universe and when you are firmly established in the world you admit to the fact that strive hard to manifest His glory the set-up systems and laws in the universe Who has given us the mankind the abilities to subject all these things to our use otherwise we could not have brought them under our control to benefit from them,

In Arabic idiom and in other languages as well the idea expressed by riding on something is about help in survival. Our survival is due to other things which helped us so far throughout our existence. It is not only about riding on donkeys and horses.

14] therefore to guidance of our Creator and Sustainer we all should turn.

15] Yet there are people who take some of His human creatures as His partners in sovereignty of the universe. Surely such of the mankind are manifest misusers of Our provided things.

The whole Quran is keep telling us again and again not to live by rule of each other because all manmade rules make one man slave of another. Allah did not create people for enslaving each other but for supporting each other in a brotherhood of humanity to grow and develop to a degree that we become managers of the universe for our own benefit thereby we end up appreciating our Creator and Sustainer.

16] What! Has He the right to provide bases for what He has created or has He given you the mankind the right to come up with bases yourselves?

17] This is why when any of them is delivered the good news regarding which such a one attributes to the Master of the universe the likes, his goal becomes lost on him so he becomes filled with rage.

18] Do they ascribe to Allah as partner in sovereignty of the universe such a weak thing as a human being which they the mankind raise upon false foundation by giving it false reputation due to which it cannot argue its case against Us clearly and successfully?

Man according to Allah is his ultimate creature yet in no way he can complete with or rival his creator. So when man tries to establish his rule in the kingdom of Allah for which he is has no right he is stepping a bit too far therefore he is reminded through arguments that he should stay within his set limits and not try to be God.

19] They also regard Our dead messengers who dedicated their lives to mission of the Master of the universe as objects of worship. Are they witnesses to their character? Their false claims about them have consequences so they will be made to face the outcome of their actions.

Religious people have spread all sorts of falsehood about divine messengers and missionaries in the world due to which we see so many people running to fraudsters for help in their problems of daily life thinking that is what Allah has told them and that is all due to false interpretations of scriptures. Allah never told any people to run to rulers, priests and money lenders for solutions of their daily problems because he condemns their very existence and set up. Again and again he tells mankind these are fraudsters who take of them fruits of their hard works to enjoy themselves through various tricks they have invented to fool masses. The Quran exposes them and their tricks again and again. All scriptures tell their followers about imposters and fraudsters warning them against it yet due to lack of interest in learning the masses are continuously conned by them on daily basis. In order to save themselves people must learn things or keep on suffering for their own wrong mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. In a world based upon personal gains none is trustable other than the one who is guided by Allah because such a person lives for betterment of others. One can say that all people claim they are working for betterment of others eg rulers, priests, money lenders, scientists and educators but a tree can judged by its fruit. If people are truly benefitting humanity then humanity ought to be getting better and better day by day but if instead day by day we see our world deteriorating then surely people are not going about their daily lives as they ought to. As explained already we cannot have better world so long there are people who sit idle or people who exploit others for their personal gains. Only when all people work as much as they are truly capable of doing that we can expect our world to become a blissful kingdom otherwise it can only and only be a place full of terrible suffering as some use and abuse others.

20] They say, had it not been the decision of the Master of the universe that we take them as objects of our worship then we could not have taken them as objects for our worship. However about all this they have not bothered to learn so they have invented lies to give themselves excuses to escape their responsibilities and obligations towards each other.

People including so called holy men tell lies to gain respect in lives of masses only and only to trick them for personal gains. The gap between rich and poor is so wide in the world that one can only and only be a very stupid person not to see connection between ignorance, idleness, exploitation and poverty. The system whereby mankind live in this world are nothing less than abusive. Here the Quran tells mankind watch out how rulers, priests and money lenders support each other against masses for exploitation. Priests tell masses that rulers are appointed by God so they are representers of God on erth for masses therefore they should not be disobeyed or God will not forgive this sin. Rulers tell masses you preists are men of God who should be given due respect otherwise God will not forgive this sin. Both together back money lenders by telling them God allows business for profit. Add all this together and see how ignorant masses are given a run around by all these vultures together and how they laugh at them having fun at their expense.

21] Or have they got a book from Us before this Quran to which they adhere as authority from Us on this matter?

22] No, not at all instead their only argument is that we found our forefathers practicing all this as a people so we are following them in their footsteps.

23] Still whenever We sent a warner before you to forewarn a people, its ruling elite argued that we found our forefathers practicing this tradition so we are going to continue in their footsteps.

24] Each warner asked his people, what if I bring you a better way of life than that upon which you found your forefathers will you start living your lives that way? They replied, we oppose the way of life with which you have been sent.

25] Consequently We let Our forewarned painful suffering befall them therefore see what was the end of those who opposed Our advised way of living their lives?

In verses like these Allah tells masses how they have been had yet they still accept words of those people who use and abuse them instead of their creator and sustainer. Allah is not against human traditions but bad traditions that are based upon wrong values and concepts that give people mindsets, attitudes and behaviours that are harmful and destructive for humanity. This is why when people blindly follow their mullahs and even their parents despite seeing things going in the wrong direction the Quran condemns them as worse than animals.

26] Also call to mind the time when Abraham said to father of his people and his people, I am free of serving rulers that you serve

27] instead of Him Who created me because He has recently guided me to the way of life that is proper.

28] Moreover he left this statement as an abiding precept among his descendants so that they too keep living by it.

29] However instead they strayed and remained in error even though We provided them and their forefathers with guidance and sustenance until there came to them guidance again and a messenger for the last time to explain it clearly.

30] But now when truth has come to them they say, this is falsehood so we oppose it.

31] They also say, why is this Quran not revealed to a man of great influence in these two great cities?

32] Have these men of great influence already brought about prosperity faithfully according to blissful program of your Creator and Sustainer? It is We Who granted them the means for their livelihood for living their lives properly in this world as a human community and that is why We let some rise above others by degrees for purpose of proper management of people and resources so that they fulfil their responsibilities towards each other for proper fulfilment of rights of all of them. It is because the blissful program of your Creator and Sustainer is better way of living for mankind instead of individuals hoarding things as personal gains by preventing each other from using them.

Ignorant people whenever they are told something to which they are not used they argue why not tell this to those who matter? They do not realise how dangerous it is for them to speak up against those who are in power without first preparing the ground work. It is masses who suffer and it is they who need to be educated first before the movement takes off and is able to take on the actual villains of humanity. The idea is to gather enough strength before confronting the enemy of humanity. According to the Quran Allah never told any person to do things in a silly way and get into trouble, which benefits enemies but damages and sets back the cause, so it is better for people to find out and plan things properly before starting out on missionary work.

This verse also tells about mentality of ignorant people how they look up to those whom they consider big people due to their ignorance. If a ruler or a priest or a rich person is visiting anywhere masses gather to greet them not realising that they are responsible for whatever wrong is happening anywhere in the world. If these people did not support use and abuse for personal gains then world will not be in state of such disarray and so many human beings throughout the world will not be living such terrible lives as they are. So the argument that why God did not choose as his messengers most influential people is answered by argument that look at the mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of these people and see what they have done for humanity as things are before telling Allah what he should be doing with them. If a people who are already in position of power yet fail to take mankind in the right direction where is sense in Allah choosing them as his agents? Allah does not discriminate between people but only on basis of their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours whether they go by his set up criterion or their own ambitions and desires that prove harmful and destructive for human community. Allah is only with those who work for the good of the mankind and who try their best to stop those who act against human community spirit ie the antisocial elements.

33] And had it not been the case that all influential people have joined together against masses against the advice of Allah, We will have given all people including those who have opposed the writ of Master of the universe such houses whose roofs and stairways by which they could go to upper chambers all made with silver

34] as well as the doors of their houses and couches upon which they recline,

35] along with ornaments of gold for decoration because all these things are nothing less than useful that bring satisfaction through beautifying life of this world for mankind. However it is the way of living life that is focused upon better future for mankind that can deliver all this for those who are consistent with guidance of their Creator and Sustainer.

36] Nonetheless any who turns away from the guidance of the Master of the universe, We find him closely linked and sucking up to the harmful and destructive leadership.

These verses leave one in no doubt that way of life proposed by Allah for mankind if followed by them faithfully could lead people to a kind of life whereby all people could end up in nice houses with nice people all around them that make life a real blessing. The ways of life adopted by people themselves could lead some to good life but at the expense of all others and when people see that happening the reaction is not far from coming and so world plunges into unending wars between those who have and those who have not. So divided humanity is very dangerous for itself and that is what various adopted way of life are doing to mankind this is why alternatives should found and quickly before it is too late.

37] That is how such friendships turn such people away from the proper way of life the while they think that they are being guided along the proper way of living their lives

38] till that like party is made to face results of its actions by Our set-up systems and laws when it says to its such friend, I wish that I had distanced myself from you as far as the opposite ends of the universe because you turned out to be a harmful and destructive friend.

39] Once people have brought themselves to point of no return, it is said to them by Our reminders, you have already done what you have done so realizing this now and fighting with each other after destroying yourselves is not going to avail you a bit because both of you share the same end.

40] Can you O messenger therefore make the deaf hear the words for guidance to proper path of life or make the blind see the proper way of life such as are clearly gone astray due to their own lack of learning and understanding things?

41] So We will have to let outcome of their own actions take its course about them regardless We let you pass away before it

42] or let you see their end as We have promised them, surely they are under control of Our set-up systems and laws.

43] However hold fast on to this Quran which is revealed to you because it is the proof that you are surely on the path of life that is properly founded.

44] Moreover this Quran is a lesson for you and your people to learn from and teach it to others because you are required to do so for the betterment of mankind.

45] Ask those who claim to follow Our messengers whom We sent before you if We ever allowed any people to live by rule of any other than Ourself, the Master of the universe?

46] This is why We sent Moses with Our lessons to Pharaoh and his chiefs so he said to them, I am a messenger of the Creator and Sustainer of the nations.

47] But when he conveyed them Our lessons, they laughed at them.

48] Yet We showed them evidence after evidence, each greater than the one preceding it and that is how We let outcomes of their actions take their course about them every time so that they could turn to the way of life that was proper for them.

49] However each time they were caught in troubles as per Our forewarnings due to results of their own actions they said to Moses, O man of secret knowledge! Consult your Master on our behalf by virtue of the agreement He has made with you to get us out of these troubles, if you will do that then we promise we will certainly accept your guidance.

50] But each time We led them out of their self created troubles, they went back on their agreements.

51] However one day Pharaoh delivered a speech among his people saying O my people! Is not the kingdom of Egypt mine? Are not these flowing rivers under my control? Can you therefore not see the point I am making to you?

52] Am I not more powerful than this weakling Moses who has no such power in the land to manifest his will?

53] Why has he not been anointed with gold bracelets to rule like rest of kings nor royal soldiers sent with him to accompany him to establish his rule?

54] That is how he incited his people and they supported him. Surely they were a people who accepted the way of life based upon divisions in mankind.

55] However when they tripped Our set-up systems and laws by breaking down community spirit among people, We let painful suffering befall them so they all ended up destroyed by each other,

56] and that is why we made them a lesson for the generations to come.

In these verses it is made absolutely clear that Islam is ADDEEN not mazhab because dialogue between chiefs of a people in a place and any divine messenger was always about power struggle. Each party wanted to lead people to its own way of life to implement its program. However, in the end it were divine messengers who succeeded but not for long because each time they passed away their followers turned back to their old ways of living. Again messengers came and tried to warn the people and put them on the right path and again people went astray. The idea was that each time people were brought together in a brotherhood, they worked hard together and community became united, very peaceful, very progressive and very prosperous and then as more people entered the community and people in the community became slack and could not cope with new arrivals the community broke down and opportunists took over and brought back life based upon personal gains at the expense of life based upon community spirit. As some people gained in this way of life others lost and soon time came when community became very much divided to the extent of animosity and hatred and wars. This is how those who kept going back to divine message survived and those who did not ended up destroying each other. Same happened to people of Moses and people of Pharaoh respectively. The very same will keep on happening till people have learned how to live properly as good human community. This will only happen when humanity has educated itself properly because then it will realise the message of the Quran.

57] Behold! When leadership of community of Mariam is quoted as an example, your people turn away from it.

58] Moreover they say, are our rulers better or was he? They do this just to argue with you for sake of keeping divisions in the human community alive and that is because these people are a quarrelsome people.

59] The fact is, he was nothing less than Our loyal man who lived by Our blissful and dignifying program, constitution and law that We bestowed upon him and whom We made an exemplary leader for the Children of Israel to follow.

60] So if you the mankind had fully relied upon following Our program, constitution and law then We would have brought forth from among you administrators in the kingdom of the world to lead you in succession.

Story of Jesus is also brought in to tell people how to live as a proper community to be an example for other communities to learn from and follow. The leadership that was already there was based upon personal gains and Jesus proposed community life just like divine messengers before him. This way of life is hated by chiefs who are busy robbing their people of fruits of their labour. So any people in the world are trapped between rulers and priests or secularism and religion and the only way out for them is to unite on basis of actual scriptural teachings and bring down rulers and priests and those who back them up ie the money lenders and those who sell them to unsuspecting masses, the public relation managers. This divide is created deliberately by a tiny minority so that they could use and abuse the masses through their set-up social, political and economic mechanisms and traps. This is why the end result has to be education of masses by each other and creation of divine kingdom or a fight to the end between those who have and those who have not. This is the major clash between mankind that always happens every cycle of a several generations if people do not make changes in time that help avoid such clashes. The Quran predicts one or the other end destination for mankind depending upon the choices they make for their future as groups of people.

61] This is why Allah made known the coming of the time of the establishment of the kingdom based upon His guidance as well as the coming of the time of uprisings and upheavals so have no doubt about coming of such a time and follow My guidance because this is the proper way to bringing about the blissful kingdom.

62] Therefore let not the harmful and destructive leadership mislead you from this goal because such a leadership is your open enemy.

63] When Jesus came with clear evidences he said to his people, I have brought you wisdom to clarify for you some of those things about which you differ so that you could be consistent with guidance of Allah and with each other and support me for establishing the blissful kingdom.

64] Surely it is Allah Who is my creator and sustainer as well as yours therefore abide by His program, constitution and law. This is the properly founded way of life that leads mankind to blissful and dignified existence.

65] Despite these teachings the factions disagreed among themselves therefore doomed is future of such people as inflict harm and destruction upon each other whereby they bring upon themselves the period of painful suffering.

66] What are they waiting for other than the coming of the moment of doom that it should come upon them all of a sudden catching them unaware or unprepared?

67] When that period of time arrives even the intimate friends will become severe enemies to one another with the exception of those who are consistent with Our guidance and with each other.

68] O you who abide by My program, constitution and law there is nothing to worry about or to regret for you on that day,

69] so it will be said to those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to Our set out goals and guidelines because they will have accepted to struggle for establishing peaceful and blissful existence.

70] Therefore enter the struggle for bringing about blissful kingdom, you and your colleagues for living your lives beautifully.

71] By serving discourses to them that are vastly valuable for opening up their minds and that is why they will be able to have everything that their being will desire and all that their eyes will delight in. That is how you will be able to bring about such kingdom to abide therein.

72] Such will be the kingdom which you will inherit by virtue of struggling hard for it.

73] Therein you will have plenty of the fruits of your own labour that you will eat.

These verses explain what paradise is all about and what hell is all about. People can make their lives a blissful experience or a life full of regrets and painful suffering. Good life needs ideological basis which is provided by divine guidance and inspiration and motivation to get up and go which is also provided by divine message.

74] However those who commit crimes against each other will end up in terrible agony.

75] Their painful suffering will not be lightened by their continuous misdeeds so they will remain in despair in there.

76] It is not that We will inflict any harm or destruction upon them but that they themselves will be inflicting harms and destructions upon each other.

Again and again Allah tells people very clearly that when nation after nation falls it is not by will of Allah but because of their own victimisation of each other. A clear proof that there is no such thing as predestination in Islam in sense of Allah has already decided everything about everything and everyone. The proper concept is that Allah has set up measures or systems and laws and when people go against those set up systems and laws they suffer the consequences of their own actions which they carryout out of their own free choices. Allah does not tell people to victimise each other but they do it, why? If anything Allah keeps telling people don’t do it because you will suffer because of that as a result. This shows very clearly stupidity of mullahs and philosophers who are confused themselves and confuse others due to lack of understanding about the proper concepts the Quran explains including this concept of predestination.

When people keep on driving each other into bigger and bigger troubles the time comes when some people become masters of others and so make life hell for each other. This is when human dignity is totally lost both by dominant people as well as the submissive people. It is because anyone who tries to become master of other human beings by dominating them for undermining them is nothing more than an animal in form of a human. In fact such a person is far worse than animals. So are those who accept such domination of such people by acting as weaklings and spineless. Allah has not given any man power to dominate other human beings, it is because when masses join together they can fight off any tyrant at any time. So if anyone seems to be in total control of humanity it is only because mankind are not bothered about it. When they do, things change instantly. There are plenty of lessons in human history to which the Quran draws our attention. World cannot be run by tyrants and oppressors and suppressors permanently because it is not designed that way. The proof is changes that come about in the world every several generations of mankind. World is not created to stand still and each day either things get better or worse. However people should not let things get that far bad that some become masters of others making their life hell. Such tyrants ride on fears of people and they try to keep them in hell far as long as they can. This is why spreading of message of Allah is only assurance for mankind in this day and age to keep themselves away from life in hell. The life wherein a few turn rest of mankind into their slave labourers driving them day and night into harder and harder works thereby making their existence almost impossible. So terrible that they end up preferring death instead of life.

77] Due to harm and destruction inflicted upon them through hard labour the trapped people will cry to their taskmaster saying, O taskmaster! Could you request your lord on our behalf to ease our task for us? But he will say, no rather you are to continue doing what you are told to do.

78] Surely We brought to you the mankind the truth but most of you hate the truth.

79] What! Are they devising a plan to get rid of you O messenger! But We surely have a plan to save you from their conspiracies.

80] Do the rulers, priests and money lender think that We cannot take care of their secret plans through their private discussions? Of course We can that is why Our messengers are with them to plan better future for them.

81] Therefore proclaim O you the messenger to the mankind, the Master of this universe has no authorised successor to rule this universe on His behalf and I am foremost in abiding by His program, constitution and law.

82] Strive hard the set-up systems and laws to manifest glory of the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne of this Kingdom, Who is free of partners they ascribe to Him in His sovereignty of the universe.

83] So let them blunder and fool about until they face the day, which they have been promised.

84] That is the time when they will certainly come to realise the fact that it is Allah alone Who is ruler in the heavens and ruler in the earth, not those whom they have taken for their rulers in the earth. It is because He rules through wisdom which He makes obvious for mankind to see throughout the universe.

85] Firmly founded is He Himself and provides foundation for His creation and helps it grow and develop, to Him alone belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that lies in between them. With Him alone rests the right to make manifest the moment of establishment of His kingdom or upheavals that is why to His guidance alone should turn the mankind for their guidance.

86] Because those whom they take for rulers instead of Him, have no capability to intervene in the universe for their betterment but this truth is understood by those who are aware of the realities of the real world.

87] If you ask those who take for rulers other than Allah, who created them, they will say, Allah. How is it that they are then led away from this truth,

88] because Allah has heard the messenger say, O my Creator and Sustainer, these are such a people who do not commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind?

89] If that is the kind of people they are then leave them to themselves by letting them know what Islam is. They will soon come to know the truth when they will face the consequences of their actions based upon their adopted ways of life.

 

[Mughal]

Surah 44 AL-DUKHAAN-The state of confusion due to darkness of ignorance that can only be overcome through light of knowledge

This surah is names AL-DUKHAAN from root DAAL, KHAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is fine particles of dust that rise in the air or with wind and prevent people from seeing through to other side clearly. Other meanings are smoke, haze, mist, steam, mirage, drought, trickery or technique used to hide actual thing or ideology or process or mechanism or function. Sign or signal for coming troubles or problems or disputes or fights or wars. Famine, hunger, exploitation, use and abuse, doom and gloom, very hot day, bad time or a period of scarcity or a period full of mischiefs, matter in its gaseous state, a person of bad character or conduct etc etc.

This surah is named AL-DUKHAAN because the Quran talks about confusion that covers humanity whereby it leads itself into life of hell again and again. In this surah Quran explains importance of certainty through knowledge. If people have solid base to begin with then they have something to build upon their future with certainty. If they do not then they remain confused and in an unstable situation which keeps them from progressing so they cannot achieve prosperity and their all initiatives keep on ending in failures sooner or later. The Quran explains how mankind can overcome their uncertainties and be stable and productive so that they could end up in blissful and dignified life.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] HAA MEEM.

2] By the evidence in this book that makes distinct Our advised way of life for mankind,

3] it is clear that We have revealed this Quran during the period of darkness of ignorance to enlighten mankind with information for their growth and development because We have been warning mankind always against adopting ways of life that lead to harm and destruction.

4] Therein every principle for living a productive and constructive life has been explained wisely for mankind,

5] as a roadmap from Us. Certainly We have been sending messages through Our messengers as guidance for mankind always.

6] So this Quran is also a blissful and dignifying program from your Creator and Sustainer. He is aware of all things and makes them obvious for benefit of mankind.

7] The Creator and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that lies in between them, should you bother to verify things to assure yourselves!

8] There is no ruler for this universe but He alone. He brings nations to life if they follow His program and leaves them to perish if they do not. He is the one who created and sustained you as well as your forefathers of old.

9] Yet they the mankind fool about in doubt and confusion.

10] So you should wait for the time when the world will become filled with all kinds of troubles clearly visible,

Once message has been clearly explained yet people do not respond to it as they ought to then only choice that remains for divine messenger is wait and see. Wait and see what? The outcome of what people are doing to each other. As social decline reaches to its lowest at that time people look for ways out of it and then the very message that has been rejected by them already becomes very much acceptable to them. So long as masses can carry on with their lives as usual they do not care what anyone says but as things come to a standstill and life becomes a burden people start paying attention to anything just in case it helps them. This is how divine message then spreads like fire in jungle because it gives them hope and security.

11] engulfing such people. This will be the painful suffering that will befall such people as a result of their own actions.

12] At that time they will say, our Creator and Sustainer, provide us shelter from this suffering because we agree to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind.

13] But how can acceptance of Our message at that stage benefit them? Because Our messenger who makes things clear has already come to them

14] yet they turn away from him saying, he is a madman who has been taught and set against us by our enemies!

This verse explains why people accused the divine messenger of madness because they took him for an agent of some other people who filled his ears against them ie they took him for person who had been given an agenda as a conspiracy against these people. This accusation is raised even today against the message of the Quran by rulers, money lenders, mullahs and those who suck up to them or support them. The fact however is that this message is all about brotherhood of human family and those who only want to live for themselves at the expense of rest of humanity do not want to live by this idea so they make up excuses to avoid coming under rule of Allah. This fact soon comes to light all by itself as gulf between people widens with time and no one feels safe living that way. It is because rivalries and animosities do not let people live long as hatred comes about and wars break out between various factions due to their personal interests and gains. This then proves to mankind the divine message was not conspiracy by anyone against anyone but a straight forward blissful and dignifying way of life that could have saved humanity from all these troubles that finally engulf mankind because of the ways of life they adopt for themselves.

15] However We will withhold afflictions from you for a while as you turn to Our advised way of life but you will go back to your bad old ways of living.

16] If that time comes, We will find you caught up in grave consequences of your actions, that is how Our set-up systems and laws will help you back on proper track.

17] Likewise We put through struggle people of Pharaoh when Our messenger came to them offering them blissful and dignified life by

18] saying to Pharaoh, let people of Allah turn to me for guidance because I am to you all a messenger who can bring about peace between all people in the land.

19] Do not hold yourselves above the law of Allah, surely I have come to you with an authority that is verifiably true.

20] I want to set up a kingdom in the name of Creator and Sustainer of mine and yours in order to save my people from your harmful and destructive system of ruling.

21] If you do not wish to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind then stay away from my people.

22] When Pharaoh and his chiefs refused his proposal he relied upon set-up systems and laws of his Creator and Sustainer saying, these people are surely committed to criminal behaviour against each other.

23] So We said, take My people on a journey away from this darkness of ignorance, surely you will be followed by masses.

24] However leave the masses that are divided who wish to remain so because they are groups that are bound to drown in their self created troubles.

Whenever there is a split in leadership masses follow each leadership that suits them under the situation and circumstances. Likewise some people follow Moses others keep following Pharaoh. However there comes a time when fights breakout between groups that follow Pharaoh so they end up ruined because of the ways of life they adopted for themselves. This is how people who followed Moses end up inheriting what they leave behind. The Quran tells a very different story about Moses and Pharaoh than told by Jews and Christians. More likely due to their wrong interpretations of their own scriptures.

25] How many gardens and springs they left behind!

26] And agriculture and grand palaces!

27] And means of luxury and comfort which they used to enjoy!

28] Such was their end! That is how We let other people inherit what belonged to them.

29] So the destruction they brought upon themselves caused no damage to the working of the heavens and the earth rather they gave themselves no time to think things through.

30] But that is how We delivered children of Israel from a humiliating suffering

31] inflicted by Pharaoh who was most arrogant among such inordinate transgressors.

32] Behold! We chose them at the time for making Our plan obvious to the nations in the world.

33] We gave them from Our lessons to learn themselves and teach to others wherein was involved struggle to make them manifest in reality.

Allah never gave any scripture to any people to read it for their daily worship but to read it for understanding the program, constitution and law and spread it to get support from rest of human community to implement the program so that mankind could have blissful and dignified existence. A very clear indication that mullahs are misleading their people in the name of God and scriptures.

34] This story is for these people who say,

35] there is no life worth living after our fall of the old as a people and there is no way we could be raised again to life of dignity as a people.

36] Bring us story about our forefathers if they rose again after their fall if you speak the truth.

The Quran brings in stories of both ancient people ie the one who rose to success and those who failed themselves with reasons as to why one people succeeded and the other failed. This way it warns those who are living their lives the wrong way and gives hope to those who wish to rise again but have lost foundation to do so therefore feel hopeless. The Quran tells them that fallen nations were raised again by divine inspirations so if you want to rise again then here is the program to follow. Give up divisions and unite so that you could have peace between yourselves. Peace should be used to make progress through cooperation and hard work so that prosperity of whole nation is the end result. So any people who want to rise must prove they are better in their mindsets, attitudes and behaviour than those who ended up destroying themselves. Just saying I want to rise is not enough rather words should be backed up with hard work that leads to required end result. Allah makes no empty promises to mankind like mullahs and rulers and money lenders etc.

37] Are these people better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We let them destroy themselves for the reason that they became such criminals as inflicted fatal blows against each other.

38] We did not created the heavens the earth and all that lies in between them just for pass time.

39] We have created them for a set purpose but most of them do not bother to learn to understand things purposefully.

This like verses are repeated in the Quran telling us Allah created the universe in such a way that all causes have effects and all people get outcome of their thoughts and actions. It is because mankind must get to stage of unity so that there is peace between them. Only then people can work together and make full progress to bring about prosperity of mankind. Once people reach that stage only then people could think about higher goals like exploration of the universe and realisation of divine presence and its power and creative capability. Allah has set-up natural systems and laws to ensure all actions have outcomes, this is why fire burns and water quenches thirst. Nothing can contravene laws of nature. Allah has also given laws for people to live by as proper human community and if any people contravene those laws the outcome of that is fall of a nation. Something that social scientists need to study in detail and then help reorganise humanity upon proper foundation provided by the Quran so that human world could deliver itself from all its self created problems. These two sets of laws cannot let people live in peace if they do not show respect for them as appropriate. This has been explained already in this work elsewhere.

40] Surely the time to face outcome of their own actions is set for them as a people

41] At that time no close friend can benefit his close friend, so there is no support for any people

42] save those who abide by blissful and dignifying program of Allah. Surely He is majestic provider of blissful and dignifying program for mankind.

43] Verily principle of quick personal gain at the expense of others

As explained already word SHAJARAT indicated branches or divisions like in a family tree or as in a constitution of an organisation or a state etc. Likewise word ZAQQOOM is about difficulties or troublesome situations. Since the Quran talks about divisions in human community and the reasons behind them so it depends on context how such words are to be interpreted. Since people live either as a proper human community that is sharing and caring or as a population that exploits each other thereby ends up using and abusing each other that is why these verses which deal with people who cause troubles need to be interpreted that way. These verses deal with people who make life hell so they explain how they make life hell by using social, political, economic, religious and cultural systems, structures, mechanisms, procedures and practices. When use and abuse reaches tipping point social upheavals become inevitable and masses go into revenge mode. Toppling people in position of power and crushing them under their feet. This brings about change in social and political landscape in the land the Quran talks about. Uprising when it takes place changes things drastically in a state or society. Old world orders give way to new ones. Since revolutions are rarely peaceful the Quran wants people to become educated and not let things go that far or all people involved live to regret things due to losses such upheavals bring to a society.

44] is adopted by those who lose the dignity of earning their own living.

45] As if they are exempt from shouldering their assigned responsibilities. This pressurises their societies,

46] like boiling water in a pot.

47] Soon a call rises, seize such a one and drag him into the middle of pit of fire of hatred he has created,

48] that is how scalding water is poured over his harmful and destructive goal,

Hot water is an idiom that spells trouble. If hot water is poured on a plant it kills it just like burning of ice cold liquid. Ice also burns plants in winter times or wintry weather. Likewise if a human society does not keep its environment such that helps it grow and develop then it too dies away. This is why use and abuse based populations are doomed or at least cannot grow and develop to the degree they need to, to have lives worth living ie they become stuck. People who start using and abusing others whom they consider not their part soon reach the stage whereby they also start using and abusing those whom they consider their part. That is because people who exclude others from their circle keep reducing their circle till they are all alone. This is why it is better to be inclusive instead of exclusive.

49] and the voice says, experience all this yourself now through which you put others because you thought of yourself as a powerful and above the law!

50] This is the uprising and upheaval the idea of which you used to brush aside as a joke that it could ever take place.

While things work for those at the top, they do not consider other human beings as human beings instead they take them for their slave labourers or as animals like donkeys and horses but when tide turns it is payback time. If both parties were sensible they could avoid such seesaw situation that keeps both parties unstable due to each other.

51] As for those who are consistent with Our guidance and each other, they have secure foundation to build their future upon

52] in blissful kingdoms with ever flowing fountains of things of their need and want,

53] clothed with fine conducts and manners, settling themselves on stage of dignity complementing efforts of each other.

54] Such is their state of existence! All because Our guidance makes it possible to come together for such people as are of pure and beneficial mindset, attitude and behaviour.

Words HOORIN EEN means people who have such mindsets, attitudes and behaviours that are mutually beneficial for them. Their minds are free of deceptive motivation against each other as well as they think about benefiting each other. What Quran is telling mankind here is that a proper human community can only results from such human beings who do not harm each other and work hard for the betterment of each other. When such people come about the fruits of their labour are many folds because their efforts do not go to waste in trying to fight against each other.

55] This is why therein they will have anything they want but peacefully

56] because therein they will not wish to experience fall after seeing the initial fall. That is why they will avoid becoming stuck in a situation that makes life hell

When a sensible people have bad experience in life they do not wish to repeat it if they can help it. Before divine kingdom becomes an established reality people go through hell at hands of each other due to rivalries and animosities therefore if they get an opportunity for society that is opposite of that then they do not wish to lose it therefore they try to raise future generations better so that what they have brought about lasts for them too.

57] as a result of knowledge from your Creator and Sustainer. That is a great achievement.

58] That is why We have made this Quran easy to understand through explanations in your own language so that they may learn it and spread it for the benefit of mankind.

59] If the mankind still refuse to accept Our guidance then wait and they too need to wait to see outcome of their actions.

Surah 45 AL-JAATHIYAH-The message before which all nations will kneel after trying all their ways to live

This surah is named AL-JAATHIAA from root JEEM, THAA and WOW or YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to be on one’s knees due to degeneration or deterioration. A pile of rubbish or sand or stones or rocks. A mound, a grave mound, a small hill or dune, kneeling down or bowing down or bending under pressure, humbled, defeated, vanquished, groups of people or camels. To be in state of humiliation, debased, deformed, dysfunctional etc etc.

This surah is named AL-JAATHIAH because the Quran talks about nations in sense of their rise or fall and the reasons behind their rise and fall. People are told that no matter what they do they will be ultimately humbled by set-up systems and laws of Allah and they will have to come to way of life advised by Allah because all their self adopted ways of life will leave them in lurch. This surah leaves people in no doubt that right to rule this world only and only belongs to Allah. This is why it is better that people learn things and accept this truth and follow the given program so that they could land themselves in blissful and dignified life. There is no sense in fighting against the advised way of life and devised systems and laws of Allah because that only delays unity between people for peace therefore progress and prosperity. Not only that but also keeps mankind in permanent uncertainty and painful suffering.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] HAA MEEM.

2] This book is sent by Allah, the mighty wise ruler of this kingdom.

3] Surely in the kingdom of the heavens and the earth there are evidences about it for those who want to committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind.

4] Evidences are also there in your own evolution as well as in the evolution of animals that are scattered throughout the earth for those who wish to verify them to attain certainty.

5] Moreover in the phenomenon of alternation of the night and the day and in the process of sustenance that Allah sends down from the heaven through rain and shine with which He revives the earth after its death as well as in the variations of the atmosphere there are lessons to observe and learn for those who use their intelligence to understand things.

6] These are revelations of Allah which We recite to you for the purpose of guidance of mankind. So according to which other testimony other than that of Allah will they commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind?

7] It is a bad news for future of every inventor of falsehood against Allah who invents it to use it to abuse rights of others.

8] Before whom the revelations of Allah are proclaimed and he hears them yet out of sense of domination he acts as though he heard them not, so announce to such a one the news of coming of painful suffering.

9] Moreover when he becomes aware of things from Our revelations, he takes them for a joke therefore for these like people there is going to be a humiliating doom.

10] Before them lies future full of fire of hatred, because they have not done anything to benefit humanity to benefit from themselves in return, nor have those whom they take as their rulers instead of Allah so they are bound to end up in grave suffering in due course.

11] This Quran is full of guidance for mankind so those who oppose its set goals and guidelines by their Creator and Sustainer, for them life is going to be full of painful suffering.

12] It is Allah Who has given you capability to make use of sea so that you could use ships to travel through it according to His set-up systems and laws so that you could seek His provision and so that you use the provision properly for the benefit of mankind.

13] Likewise you have been given the capability by Him to make use of all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth altogether. Surely in all this there are lessons to observe and learn from for those who think.

14] Say to those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of humanity, put up with harmful and destructive mindsets, attitudes and behaviours of those who do not look forward to days when kingdoms of Allah will become established, so that then He delivers to people the results according to their works they carry out.

15] Any who does things to help mankind grow and prosper ends up benefiting oneself. Likewise any who does things to harm and destroy mankind ends up harming and destroying oneself therefore eventually you will all end up turning to guidance of your Creator and Sustainer.

16] That is why We gave Our book to the children of Israel through Our prophet-hood to establish Our kingdom so that We provide them with things that help them develop and prosper, and that is how We raised them above the nations in the world.

17] Moreover We gave them clear instructions relating all affairs concerning the way of life. They did not create divisions among themselves but due to ignorance about the book because they did not learn it as they were supposed to after the scriptural knowledge had come to them, out of rivalry and animosity among themselves based upon personal gains. Surely your Creator and Sustainer will settle the matter between them on the day of uprising over which they have become divided.

How the divisions are settled between the people? In two ways a) through education if people are willing to learn or b) through end results of peoples’ own actions. Their actions either lead them to establishment of divine kingdom or land them into painful suffering with no end in sight. As things get worse time arrives for uprisings and upheavals leading to instability and bloody revolutions. Phrase YAWMAL QIYAAMAH has two concepts hidden in it a) the period in which DEEN of Allah will become established in the land and b)when people in the land will rise up against oppression and suppression by their rulers and uproot it. This uprooting could also lead to establishment of divine rule.

18] In due course We put you the messenger on the proper way of life through Our revelation therefore stick to it and yield not to the harmful and destructive ambitions and desires of those who have no proper knowledge about living their lives.

19] They can do nothing to benefit you if you decide to live your life the way they do. Surely those who inflict harm and destruction upon each other some of them support each other for that kind of life. However Allah supports those who are consistent with His guidance and each other.

20] This Quran contains eye opening evidences for mankind as well as guidance in form of blissful and dignifying program for the people who wish to verify them to attain certainty.

21] Do those who inflict harm and destruction upon mankind think that We will deliver them identical outcome for their actions to those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and carry out works that help human community grow and prosper as if their living and their dying is for the very same goal? What an erroneous thought they have!

22] Behold! Allah has created the heavens and the earth for the set purpose so that each person is delivered the outcome of his actions according to his works so that none is inflicted with any harm or loss.

This like verses in the Quran keep telling mankind that works of Allah are not random rather the whole things is set-up in such a way that it serves the divine purpose by working systematically and methodically. This is why evolution is not anti Quran but according to the Quran because nature works naturally as per laws of nature. Fire burns because that is the natural state of existence of fire. Animals live the way they live because that is the way they are supposed to live. Human beings are given higher abilities than all other animals so they exist under laws of nature to a degree but they also have freedom to chose and live by moral laws. This is why they can discover how nature works and then use that information to control processes to suit themselves to much higher degree than all other animals. So there are natural actions and reactions as well as actions and reactions involving thought process which modify responses. For example, if one person slaps another then one could slap back or let go. If one puts hand in fire it will burn but if fire could think then it could burn or not burn. If laws of nature were not set the way they have been then life would have become impossible because one could then not predict things therefore could not rely on anything. For example, if fire produced heat at will randomly then we will not be able to rely on fire for its heat and so we could not cook food or properly. One time you switched on fire and placed your teapot on for tea it worked and the next time it did not then making tea would become a problem. Likewise if you drank water to quench your thirst, it worked sometimes and sometimes it did not then that would not be helpful. So laws of nature are very helpful in our existence because they do what we expect them to do. We expect them to do things only because in our life experiences they prove reliable. This is why mullah based interpretations of the scriptures are problematic because they do not take into account things without which we cannot do. The universe created by Allah is not a randomly functioning thing but a properly designed and set-up thing that works according to divine plan, set-up systems, mechanism and laws to serve divine purpose.

23] Have you considered the case of such an individual who has chosen to be ruled by his own harmful and destructive ambitions and desires so Allah has let him remain stray based on his own information and understanding of it. That is how He let his awareness remain limited due to his mindset and He let a defect remain in his understanding of things. So who can guide such a person after he has moved away from provided guidance of Allah? Why don’t you people then learn the message properly and spread it for benefit of mankind?

24] The opponents of Our guidance say, the existence of the world has no purpose to it, we live and die and nothing causes us to grow old and weak other than time. The fact is, they have no information and understanding about this whole affair instead they just conjecture and rely on their baseless guesses.

25] When Our statements based upon clear evidences are proclaimed to them, they have no other argument but say, bring back the glory our forefathers used to enjoy if what you claim about this program of yours is true!

26] Say, it is program of Allah that gives you rise when you act upon it and lets you fall when you ignore it as a people that is how He gathers you on the day of uprising and upheavals in which there is no doubt but most of the people bother not to learn things so they remain ignorant about all this.

27] To Allah alone belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. At the day when the promised moment will become obvious, those who invent and follow falsehood will be in loss.

28] You the mankind will see every nation that invents and follows falsehood on its knees due to poverty and degeneration. Every nation will be invited to pay attention to its own social contract and it will be said, from now on you should be rewarded properly for whatever works you do.

29] This book of Ours the Quran tells you the truth that We will surely replace the way you do things.

30] So those who commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and do works that help humanity develop and prosper their Creator and Sustainer puts them through His blissful and dignifying program and that makes their achievement manifest.

31] But those who oppose Our revelations, Allah will say to them, were My revelations not proclaimed to you? But you the people were taken over by sense of dominating each other by undermining each other so you ended up committing crimes against each other.

32] When it was said to you, the promise of Allah is true and there is no doubt in the coming of the promised moment, you used to say, we do not know what the promised moment is, we think it is just your own self created concept, so we are not convinced about your claim.

33] That is why the harm and destruction that is result of their own actions will become manifest for them and they will be completely encircled by that at which they laugh.

34] It will be said to them on Our behalf by Our missionaries at the time, now We leave you to yourselves as you ignored meeting Our set standard for you so fire of hatred is your aboard and there is none to help you out of it.

35] This is because you took revelations of Allah for a joke and you let the life based upon personal gains lead you away from the path We advised for you. During that time of upheavals they will not be taken out of fire of hatred between themselves because they will not have given themselves the time to amend their ways.

36] Behold! Sovereignty belongs to Allah alone, the creator and the sustainer of the heavens and the creator and the sustainer of the earth as well as the creator and the sustainer of all the nations in the world.

37] With Him alone rests sovereignty in the heavens and the earth because He is the mighty wise ruler of the kingdom of the universe.

Surah 46 AL-AHQAAF–The unevenness in human population or social divisions based on negative discrimination

This surah is named AL-AHQAAF from root HAA, QAAF and FAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a road with twists and turns highs and lows. A winding sandy track full of dunes or hills or mountains, a long or high round hill or mountain. To turn or twist or curve. An uneven or bumpy road full of ups and downs. A human population that is divided on prejudicial social grounds or suffers from fractures in community relationships etc etc.

This surah is named AL-AHQAAF which is about the way of life that evens out unevenness or social imbalances in human population by removing divisions in human population based on geography, race, caste, colour, creed, gender, culture, politics, economy and religion etc because the Quran talks about roadmap for life that helps humanity come together and work in harmony ie the way people should live their lives. The question is, how people live their lives and how they will be better off living their lives? They live their lives on basis of exploiting and manipulating each other or on the basis of use and abuse of each other for personal gains, which is also called selfishness or greed based way of life. In this way of life people who have any advantage they use it against others to use or abuse them and the result is an unending chain of rivalries and animosities to outdo each other at doing worst to each other. In other words none of us wants to end up losing to others but since this is a fight to the end so it becomes a never ending cycle of stupidity. For this reason individuals fight individuals and when some lose they form groups and the groups get bigger and bigger and so a lot of factors end up coming about into play that play their part both inside the groups as well as between the groups. This is why people become divided on basis of vested interests and mere verbal arguments end up in fights and major wars between people. All this because each person wants to dominate others despite knowing it as a fact that that is never possible for anyone the way this world is set up by God to work naturally. This is why many individuals have gone and many groups of people have gone but none had the power for more than several generations.

People should have learned great lessons from all this carry on by mankind but they did not so absolute monarchs gave way to rule by mullaism and after that we have capitalism today where some people are busy making slaves of other people by trying to become their masters but still power is nowhere near in one single hand and it is not going to be and it cannot be. That is because if all money ends up in hands of one man then the rest will have no money so the game will end. A very clear sign that none of the people can ever become absolute master of others but humanity as a whole has been the looser in all this carry on for so many centuries. This game can only go as far as I win you lose and it starts all over again and again so world needs to be set-up in a way whereby use and abuse of some people by others ends and all people live a decent life worth living. Otherwise the result of use and abuse based way of life is that world becomes full of troublemakers and people who suffer the results of those troubles created by themselves. This being the case the Quran gives people an alternative way of life. The question is, what is that way of life and how does it work? This question has been asked again and again by many Muslims and nonMuslims alike but the answer only goes as far as, Islam is the only way of life that is good for mankind but how it is good when no one has explained it yet and how it is supposed to be set up and how it will work? I agree that Islamic way of life is the only way forward for humanity but what is it?

I have explained Islam is not mazhab but ADDEEN. Islam is anti mazhab or religion or dogma or set of make beliefs known as creed etc. It is because mazhab is all about God and man in sense of God created man to worship God. It does not deal with issue of proper relationship or connection between God, man and rest of humanity and the issues that arise from this relationship. It is because unless mankind could exist and develop God has no place in human mind because just to exist and develop is only a low level existence. Humans are special creatures who are created to rise from this level of existence to a much higher level of existence. So higher that fulfils reason for the revelations from God for guidance of mankind. The Quran exempts from responsibilities all those who cannot fulfil responsibilities to the degree that they cannot eg inanimate things, animals, children or elderly or for that matter any mentally or physically limited or incapacitated thing or person. However all the rest must fulfil their responsibilities through self realisation and with full consciousness. This cannot happen till people really study divine message and become fully convinced that there is a God and that it is he who has set them certain goals and guidelines for their own growth and development, peace and prosperity. It is because unless people are clear in their heads about all this they will not have the motivation or incentive to do things they are told in the Quran to do for each other. Islam is not against personal gains but at the expense of rest of humanity. Allah wants people to have as great life as they can have but as a community. It does not allow that some people have things and other go without them. This is what the Quran calls harmful and destructive gains and hoarding. Human community is given by God himself the authority to exploit all that the heavens and the earth has to offer but all must be used properly for the good of mankind. Each person can be fully laden with gold and God has no objection to that but if one person has it and others are forced to go without it then that is a problem as defined by the Quran. Humanity can have as much gold as it can dig out but at the end of the day it must share. This is the foundation of Islamic way of life or the Quranic way of life.

What the Quran condemns is laziness and craziness on part of some people to avoid participation whereby they fail to play their part properly in human society. This is why the program, the constitution and the law for the people to set them goals, with guidelines to ensure proper organisation and regulation of humanity for the purpose of achieving those set goals according to set guidelines. Since Islam is for the good of humanity itself as a community so it is a human family. Therefore it has to organise as a family so it needs no money to operate therefore no business for profit no question of banking interest or usury etc that mullahs fight over due to their ignorance. Islam is business for the benefit of mankind not for profiteering of a few at the expense of many. The Quran is a manifesto or a program which people must know themselves and let others know so that all come together and organise as a people on basis of Quranic brotherhood and get on with job they are told to do. How people are to organise? The organising begins with working out available land, resources and human population and what should be the basic goal to begin with and what should be the end goal and all that goes in between in a proper priority order so that people keep moving up the ladder of success through planning things properly. The time each person will need to rest and also free time and the minimum time each person must work on daily and yearly basis. Not only that but each person must be assigned a job and types or kinds of jobs will depend upon what community needs and in which priority order. There is no payment involved within community because all services should be delivered at the point of need to individuals and groups freely but some mechanism will be needed for dealing with outside world according to some working relationship that benefits community.

All people should be settled properly so that things could be done without much trouble and quickly. For example, people who will be needed to work on farm land should be settled near that and people who work in industry must be settled near those areas or that industry should be build where people are already living if that seems advantageous provided that land has no other better use. In other words where it becomes necessary to move populations do that and where it becomes necessary to move things to populations do that. This is what Islam is all about that proper scholars of Islam must come to know. The main thing is productions of food and distribution of food so that none of the people and the animals they need to take care of remain hungry and thirsty. Healthcare is to be delivered at the point of need. Schools, colleges and universities need to be built to produce people that are needed for producing and distributing all services at points of need. None of these jobs are paid jobs but daily jobs for all people to help their community grow and prosper which will in return help individuals grow and prosper. All agriculture workers, teachers, judges, engineers, builders, scientists and doctors etc etc only and only work on basis of fulfilment of need of community of which they are a member. There is no sense of domination or undermining each other instead all try to help each other the best they can to do their jobs better and better. This is the picture the Quran paints of blissful and dignified human existence. This is why only people with this mindset, attitude and behaviour can build such a kingdom as are brain boxes but full of concern for each other. Not lazy and crazy mullahs and their lazy and crazy followers. One can see how educated and responsibility conscious a person needs to be to be assigned the title of a Muslim. This is why people who are truly Muslims at heart it cannot be that they could be worse than their opponents in their existence or even worse than animals. People of God have to be an example for rest of humanity to follow therefore they cannot be like worse than animals. This is why a Muslim society cannot be based upon any way of life that allows use and abuse of each other because that is basis for divisions and cracks in community spirit.

So ummah needs to wake up and see what their proper place is among nations of the world and go ahead and get it. Sitting on mats in jungle and saying some holy words does not lead anywhere instead people must know and act on the Quranic program. Knowledge alone does not build what it tells people to build, people after learning what they need to do and how to do it need to get up and get going to turn all this into a reality. Once Muslims can show what Islam is as a showcase then others will not take long to come and join Muslims as part of this ummah. So the message of the Quran is a very powerful one but ignorance of the ummah is standing in the way therefore if people want Islam to succeed in the world then they must educate themselves and others about proper Islam to help change this world into a better world the Quran guides to. This should put all the mullahs in place who talk nonsense about Islamic way of life and tell people doing business for profit is Islam or charity is Islam etc etc. These are temporary measures allowed for times when Muslims are living as a part of rest of the world because they have no enough population, land or resources to have their own Islamic state, even then Muslims ought to be an organised community working for the better world by spreading proper message of the Quran for convincing the world that they will be better off joining a proper Islamic movement to eliminate exploitation, use and abuse from the world by turning the world in to a huge welfare state wherein needs of all people are delivered at the point of need. This is why there is no way world could defeat Islam or Muslims who know the Quran properly. However all this needs very hard work by highly motivated and very dedicated people. Islam cannot work unless Muslims have the qualities the Quran wants them to have. The main thing is knowledge and then putting that knowledge into action to make the Quranic program a reality through sensible planning and doing. Mullahs who hardly know meanings of words in the Quran cannot be expected to do much good for Muslims and for that matter rest of humanity. So people who think they are pleasing Allah by banging their heads on the floor and waving their backsides in the air need to use their heads for thinking. God has created man to hold his head high not bury it in sand like ostrich. To rise people need to stand on shoulders of giants of humanity so that they take humanity further on from where those great people left mankind and not come tumbling down and bury themselves deep into ground. This should also explain why the ruling elite, priestly class and money lending elite are all one against Islamic way of life for humanity, because Islam takes away their right to exploit people for their own ends which inflict harm and destruction upon humanity as it is obvious throughout the world. Their welfare programs and charities are all tricks to keep people confused. This way they buy more time for themselves to continue living the way they want to live for as long as they can. It is not only that Muslims need to wake up they need to wake up rest of the world as well against use and abuse and slave labour etc because people need support of each other to change things for making this world a better place. The sooner masses educate themselves and expose use and abuse and become aware of better way of living, the people in the world will unite and change the existing world order, it is only a matter of time as to how fast human beings educate each other and that they become convinced which they way they should go. Unless people who know Islam properly make efforts to show Islamic way of life is better than any way of life, it is not going to happen all by itself. Time for Muslims to put their thinking caps on instead of wasting their available time in nonsense dished out by mullahs to keep them confused enslaved by money lenders, their set-up rulers and mullahs supported by them. Mullahs call to a different Islam and Quran calls to a different Islam. Be able to see the difference between the two ie one is mazhab and other deen.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] HAA MEEM.

2] This book is revealed by Allah, the mighty wise ruler of the universe for guidance of mankind.

3] We did not created the heavens and the earth and all that lies in between them but for a set purpose and for a set period of time. Yet those who oppose Our guidance pay no attention to things they have been warned against.

Already explained that universe is not created for no reason at all but for a set purpose as explained in detail elsewhere. This like verses are repeated in the Quran to make people realise not to listen to their mullahs who tell them purpose of their creation is worship like ritualism taken on by idol worshippers. This is all invented by mullahs and called religion or dogmatic creed which is nonsense because it is based on make beliefs not concrete evidence. Is it not strange that Muslims destroyed imperialism then started it themselves? Is it not strange that Muslims were supposed to take humanity out of master and slave relationship with each other yet ended up into masters and slaves themselves? Is it not strange that they were suppose to take on all religions and bury them in history forever because they were invented and used by mullahs to destroy humanity yet Muslims themselves allowed turning of Islam into another religion? So wake up by understanding the message of the Quran and change things according to worthy teachings of the Quran.

4] Ask them, have you pondered over those whom you take for rulers other than Allah? Show me anything that they have created in the earth or if they have any share in the creation of the heavens? Bring me any book revealed before this or some remnant of any other such book if what you claim is true.

5] So who could be further away from the proper way of life than the one who relies for his needs and wants upon rulers other than Allah who can never fulfil his needs and wants till the time of uprising when way of life advised by Allah will become established. Moreover they cannot even be properly aware of their requirements.

6] This is why when mankind will be brought together by their unfulfilled needs and wants to the doors of those whom they take for rulers other than Allah they will distance themselves from those who took them for their rulers denying they were ever their subjects.

This verse is telling us how dominant people treat submissive people like dogs who live as their slaves when it comes to paying wage even after they have done their work for them.

7] Yet when Our evidence based messages are proclaimed to them the opponents of Our guidance say about this truth, this is clearly distinguishable falsehood.

8] Do they say, he has invented it himself? Say, if I have invented it myself then you are in no position to give me protection from set-up systems and laws of Allah to stop me from being exposed in due course. His set-up systems and laws will expose in due course whatever you are coming up with about it. Sufficient through this testimony is He as a witness between me and you that He is the provider of the blissful and dignifying program for protection of the mankind.

This is a very powerful refutation of accusation that the claimant of divine messenger-ship himself is an imposter. It is said that lies against Allah cannot remain hidden because everything said in the name of Allah has good or bad outcome for mankind in this world, if outcome is good then whatever was attributed to Allah was actually from him but if the outcome was bad then whatever was attributed to Allah was a lie against Allah. The messenger attributes the Quran to Allah so if the Quran is truly from Allah then working faithfully according to Quranic program ought to produce good outcome for mankind as the Quran promises but if not then it is lie. This verse not only exposes lies of opponents of the Quranic message but also of those who claim to be followers of the Quran if they are not getting the outcome the Quran promises. It means they have not understood the Quran properly so they must review their understanding of the Quranic message. If they do not get outcome the Quran promises and they are adamant that there understanding of the Quran is correct then they are themselves proving the Quran is a lie. This raises a question, who is lying, the Quran or mullahs who claim to know the Quran and are misleading the ummah? This problem can be solved very easily. Test the Quranic interpretations by mullahs. If their interpretations are full of contradictions within the Quran and in between the Quranic statement about universal realities and the real world then they are liars because the Quran claims there are no contradiction within it or between what the Quran states about real world realities and the realities of the real world. This means such people who claim to be scholars of the Quran are either ignorant and are lying that they know the Quran or they are deliberately misleading ummah for some other agenda of their own or they are on a foreign agenda for personal gains. This means ummah needs to wake up and that it should not follow anyone blindly or it will remain in this situation for as long as it does not wake up by educating itself. As explained already rulers, money lenders and mullahs are working together to use and abuse masses and most of the world is in dire poverty. Please go and do search on poverty in all continents eg Asia, Africa, Australia, America and Europe or even in countries of the world. The world governments are organised criminal mafia in hands of each country’s dominant people. There is no concept of unity for peace, progress and prosperity for the blissful and dignified way of life. All countries in the world are controlled by a few powerful families who are treating rest of mankind as their slaves for their use and abuse. Unless people want to continue living like this they must spread the message of the Quran and educate humanity out of its ignorance so that all people could become proper human being so that they could then bring about a world fit for human beings. Allah has provided mankind with everything for their needs and people have been given powerful brains to use provided things to fulfil their needs in light of divine guidance. So don’t let your rulers, mullahs and wealthy people divide you and rule you like monkeys and donkeys. Be human beings that Allah intended you to be by earning your dignity back with help of each other. Be an educated human brotherhood and all problems will become solved. So long as we let clever people get away with becoming our masters by turning ourselves into their slaves we deserve whatever treatment is then meted out to us by them. If we also became sensible then we could turn them into our way of thinking as well and thus turn them into decent human beings. This is how divine messengers turned their chiefs into their brethren. If people wake up then rulers, mullahs and money lenders can also be woken up by them but if still do not then they meet their own ends as explained in the Quran. See stories of Moses and Pharaoh and Joseph and Pharaoh.

9] Tell your people O messenger that I am not a new kind of messenger from among the messengers sent by Allah nor are you a new kind of people unlike the people of the past, like earlier messengers I also do not know what will be done to me by you people nor what will be done to you by me in due course, I follow only what is revealed to me and I am nothing less than a plain warner that the way you live your lives will land you in life full of upheavals.

Upheavals cannot be ruled out in any society that is based upon idea of undue exploitation of each other ie some people using and abusing others. No justice no peace and therefore no progress and prosperity.

10] Say to them also, think about it that if this Quran is indeed from Allah and you people oppose it without studying it even when a testifier from among the children of Israel has also testified to its similarity with earlier scriptures and has committed himself to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind while you are taken over by sense of dominance over each other then what are going to be the consequences of it? Surely advice of Allah does not guide those who ignore it and keep inflicting harm and destruction upon each other.

11] Yet the chiefs of the opponents of Our message dare say to those who are committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, had there been any personal gain for us in the message of the Quran then you people could not have beaten us in committing to it. Since these people reject the idea of being guided by this message as a proper human community therefore they say, this is a falsehood just like the one that was invented in the past long ago.

12] The fact is before it was revealed the book was also given to Moses which was a guide for people to a blissful and dignifying existence and the contents of this book confirm that in Arabic language to forewarn those who inflict harm and destruction upon each other and to give news of blissful and dignified life to those who have committed themselves to bring about a beautiful world for themselves to live in.

13] Certainly those who say our Master is Allah alone and then remain firmly committed to His given program for them will have no worries about their future nor any regrets for their past.

14] Because such are the people who end up in blissful kingdom as a result of their hard works towards it.

15] That is why We advise man to make life of his elderly and youngster dependents beautiful by helping them overcome their deficiencies, weaknesses and limitations, because through hardship his mother carries him and with much pain she gives him birth. His carrying and his weaning takes thirty months. He is nurtured till he reaches the age of full strength and when he reaches maturity at the age of forty years he says, my Master, grant me the ability to organise and regulate myself so that I use your provisions for me and my dependence in form of elders and youngsters properly so that I work for growth and development of human community according to your approval, thus help me raise my future generations such that they work for growth and development of humanity. I therefore turn to your provided guidance and join community of those who work for peace.

This like verses are not just about parents and children but about community, leadership and following as well as parents and children. Like a mother good community also nurtures its members so that the generations raised nicely become good community and so things carry on. People in community who suffer from various limitations should be given needed help to make their life worth living along with dignified death planning for those who no longer are able to live and enjoy life. The Quran is very much about properly organised and regulated life and death. There is no sense in killing people who want to live and keeping alive those who no longer wish to continue living due to problems that humanity has not learned to overcome yet. All this because people have limitations as human beings. So long as people do all they can for each other in all honesty whatever they decide about themselves and each other is fine. Putting people to sleep who had enough of life and putting people to death for no justification are two different things. Society cannot carry burdens beyond its capability so it will be better off with planning things in advance in order to give better future for its future generations instead of killing them under pressure of keeping the elderly people alive. This will make life hell for them both, this is why the balance in planning is absolutely necessary. Family planning is part of community planning because no community can afford excessive population be it extra children or out numbering elderly population.

A balanced human population is necessary for blissful and dignified existence of humanity. The Quran does not make life decisions based on peoples’ emotions instead it tells people to keep reality in forefront of their minds when planning and doing things. It is one thing that people divide and make decisions as factions to take advantage of each other but quite another to make community centred decisions. If people as a united community make decisions as to what is good for them or what they can cope with that is exactly as the Quran wants them to do things ie all decisions must be founded on sound values and principles. The idea that you can keep on having kids and Allah will take care of them is mullah based Islam. They have no sense what the Quran is saying. The Quran puts mankind in-charge for their own affairs but as a community. This is why community should only have as many children as it needs and can take good care of and likewise it should not try to keep its such elderly alive who are better off dead. The Quran does not give same value to all life forms and lives of all people but decision is left to community as a united entity. Individuals have no right to make such decisions because who should stay and who should go needs a good study of who will benefit community the most while alive and whose loss will cause least loss for human community. This is why community should get rid of anyone least valuable to community if it must or if it has to make that decision. Life decisions are not easy to make there come times when humanity as a whole must choose between bad and worse or good and better. All this because human beings are limited beings at the end of the day despite whatever they can plan and do. One of the main reasons for revelation of the Quran is cutting down human suffering where needed provided it is done in the interest of the community and the sufferer.

16] Such are the people whose beautiful works that help community grow and prosper We approve thereby We help them overcome their works that cause damage among people of blissful kingdom. That is how proves true to them that which We promise.

17] Yet he who is told by his parents to live by way of Allah or you will become lost says to them, mind your own business, are you telling me that I will become ruined the way I live when generations have passed before me living the same way? He says all this to them because they turn him to guidance of Allah saying, your future will be ruined if you do not commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. Surely the outcome for actions of people as promised by Allah is true. But he replies, all this is nothing but mere tales of the ancients.

There are people in human society who think it is their life so they can do what they like, however if all people thought like this the world will become an uncontrollable jungle full of all kinds of tragedies for mankind. It is true that people are individuals but it is also true they did not arrive in this world by themselves nor they raised themselves. Others played a big part in all this and that is why each and every human being owes everything to God and humanity. So the only way one could behave is the way it benefits humanity and himself. There is no such thing as total freedom for anyone in this world. So it is better if people learn their limits and do things within those set community limits.

18] Such were the people about whom Our forewarnings proved true in nations before them from among the ruling elites and the masses. They were surely a people who failed to live their lives successfully.

19] That is how all are assigned positions for which they are fit according to their works and their works result in full outcomes so that no loss is inflicted upon them as a people.

These like verses talk about set-up of universe and humanity so that people live in such a way that all work in a complementary way so that all results add up and take mankind forward instead of people working on basis of rivalries whereby works by some cancel works by others. This is why the Quran keeps repeating things to drive the point home. Rivalry leads to divisions and animosities and hatred and wars whereby works by some people are destroyed by others and that holds humanity back from progress or at least slows it down. On the other hand unity and working together in a coordinated way complements and adds together speeding up human progress and prosperity. This why Islam based upon the Quran is all about human brotherhood.

20] On the day when those who oppose Our guidance will end up in fire of hatred they will be asked, where are good things that you had earlier in your life at the expense of others that you took pleasure in? Today you will face the consequences of those actions of yours which you took to try to become dominant in the land by undermining others without any justification that is how you caused fractures in human community.

21] Tell them story of Aad, brethren of Hood. At the time he warned his people against divisions in the community and there came warners before him and after him saying, do not live by rule of any other than Allah. I am worried that if you did that then time will come when grave painful suffering will befall you as a result of doing that.

22] They replied, have you come to turn us away from our rulers? Bring us the torment that you are telling us about if you speak the truth.

23] Hood said, the responsibility to let mankind know about it rests with Allah, so I am conveying the message with which I am sent, however I can see that you are a people who are not bothered with learning about things.

24] In due course when they saw it coming in form of a crowd towards their valleys they said, this crowd will bring us some relief from famine. No, that is what you were hurrying for, a storm of people wherein is painful suffering for you.

When divine messengers warned people against the way they used to live as masters and slaves, people laughed it off but in time things got from bad to worse and one group of people set off against the other and all troublemakers ended up destroyed as a result. Before their destruction they never thought they could meet such an end. This is why people of today need to learn from such lessons that things can suddenly turn bad, so bad that humanity could end up in terrible situations. People who keep fighting each other leave themselves no time to pay attention to natural world and its behaviour and when things happen in natural world many a time humans become victims of nature. If they did not fight each other they could have worked to know their world better and deal with it in a better way but humans are humans and some of them never learn. Even their creator ends up calling them worse than animals. Such worse creatures that even their creator says world is better without such creatures in human forms.

25] It is going to destroy everything in its way as it was foretold by its Master. Consequently by the morning, there was nothing to be seen except the ruins of their dwellings. That is how Our set-up systems and laws make such people face results of their actions as inflict harm and destruction on others due to their criminal behaviour.

26] Behold! We had provided those people much better places to live in than We have provided you people and endowed them with the faculties of hearing and seeing as well as making sense of things. However their faculties of hearing and sight and intelligence availed them not a bit since they opposed the goals and guidelines of Allah, so they became totally overwhelmed by that at which they used to laugh.

27] We found destroying themselves the towns which once flourished around you despite Our sending of revelations to them so that they turn to way of life that was proper.

28] But why did those whom they took for rulers other than Allah to get them closer to Allah not help them? Instead they left them in lurch. That is the reality of their falsehood they spread against Allah through their inventions.

Just as today rulers in the past also used all within their control to derail divine message using their sword power, their wealth power and their conspiracies through inventing religions by putting in place priesthood and mullahs. Confused people when turn mad all becomes destroyed and it does not take very long before the world becomes full of confused people because of all the machinery at disposal of rulers of the time. Today people who really have wealth power in their hands use politicians and mullahs and media to spread their influence throughout the world. If this use and abuse continues then within a generation or two results will be out for us all to see with our own eyes. So it will be better that people put a stop to use and abuse of each other and think of ways to improve things for humanity. The Quran can be of great help if people turn to it as they should.

29] Therefore tell them how We brought to you a group of strangers to listened to the Quran. At the time when they arrived in its presence they said to each other, listen to advice attentively. When the study completed they returned to their people as warners.

30] They said, O our people! We have adhered to a book that has been revealed after Moses which is confirming the truth that came before it and it guides to what is proper and to the way of life that is firmly founded.

31] O our people, respond to the one who is calling you towards guidance of Allah and commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to it so that Allah protects you from acting harmfully and destructively against each other thereby saves you from ending up in painful suffering.

32] Because any who does not respond to one calling towards guidance of Allah will neither be able to frustrate His plan in the world nor will he have anyone to protect from Him. Surely such people are in manifest error.

33] Why do they not observe things and learn that Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation has the power to raise the nation that is dead back to life by inspiring it? After all He alone has set-up the measures to control the affairs about all things.

34] On the day when the opponents of guidance of Allah will face their self created fire of hatred they will be asked, is this not the reality you were warned about by Allah? Yes, it is as told by our Lord, they will answer. Then taste the painful suffering now as a result of your opposition to His guidance.

35] Therefore be steadfastly persistent in your given task O messenger just like Our determined messengers before you and be not in a hurry about educating them. On the day when they will see upheavals which they are promised if they do not change, their life they would have already lived so far will seem to them as if it was only for an hour of a day. The forewarning has been conveyed. So who will end up harmed and destroyed despite that other than the people who cause fractures in human community?











Surah 47 MUHAMMAD-The final messenger sent by Allah to deliver his last message to mankind for setting up a porper human community based on it.

This surah is named MUHAMMAD from root HAA, MEEM and DAAL. Meanings of this root have been explained already but for reminder it means glory, introduction, recognition, reputation that is worthy of recognition, sovereignty, praiseworthy etc etc.

This surah is named MUHAMMAD not because this surah has this word in it but because it is name of the final messenger of Allah who has been sent with final message to mankind so that people come together on that basis and form proper human community based upon the ideas told in the Quran. This surah details some information about the messenger, what he was told and what he faced and how he was told to deal with things as he progressed in his mission. He was warned that people will oppose him and the reasons because of which he will be opposed and how he should keep in his sight troublesome people and how he should deal with them so that he could set-up a proper human community. He is told that in the beginning he will have to give his mission all he has and as mission succeeds things will ease in due course. Some people will be easy to deal with but others quite hard so he should prepare himself well for all kinds of situations through proper planning and actions to be able to deal with them successfully. This surah shows what people who claim to be his follower will have to do to get his mission to succeed.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] Those who struggle against way of life advised by Allah and those who make efforts to mislead mankind from the way of Allah, He will render their struggles fruitless.

Here the Quran declares mission of the prophet a success because all efforts and struggles by all opponents of the prophet will end up in failure. This shows the man chosen by Allah for his mission is fit for the job description. This verses also tells us two categories of people who will oppose the mission a)open opponents and b)conspirators. Open opponents are powerful chiefs and conspirators are two groups a)mullahs and b)wealthy people. All these categories work together to get what they want by using masses.

2] Not only that but those who will commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and work hard to help humanity grow and prosper according to the message sent to Muhammad – because it is from their Creator and Sustainer based upon self evident realities- He will thereby help them remove their self created problems and improve their condition through their own hard work according to His guidance.

These like verses in the Quran tell us that Islam was not spread by attacking people with swords but by discussing things with people. That is because the idea of living in a particular way is very attractive and also it is argument and evidence based. So nothing could and nothing can stand in the way of people coming to Islam due to that. Islam as told in the Quran is not for baby minded people who never grow up and argue just for sake of argument. The only scholarly work that has not been done on the Quran is textual verification for getting rid of human copying errors in the copies of the Quran. One day when Muslims realise the importance of this work they may do it. This will get rid of the argument about different versions of the Quranic text by opponents of Islam. It is not an impossible task but surely difficult because it is matter of getting photocopies of the existing ancient copies of the Quran and verifying them by using a formula that can help recover original text that was left behind by the prophet without any human errors at all. Not paying much attention to this was may be ok in the past because copies were made by hands but now that computing systems are available the originality of the Quranic text could from now on be kept intact. For this task a couple of HUFFAAZ of the Quran, a couple of language experts on the Quranic text and some experts on ancient writing styles known as RASMUL KHAT experts and a few experts on contextual context of the Quran are needed. If any such group could come together or could be brought together by some individual or government it will be a very good thing to do. I do not think it is difficult for such people to give us proper Quranic text within a short period of time which should then be used as standard text free of any printing and copying errors. Muslims are doing all sorts of things in the name of Islam but if anything this is something that must be done. Therefore some people should undertake this task. An introduction should be attached to those new copies of the Quran explaining how the task was carried out and completed just to put minds of people at rest how the original Quranic text was recovered. It is not difficult to restore Quran to its original form with help of ancient copies for verification. By the way those errors I am talking about have little bearing on message of the Quran but it is a task that should be carried out because this will remove the confusion in minds of people argue about it. They could be then referred to that sort of work to study the thing for themselves and be convinced that we still have original Quranic text 100%. So long as we have the proper way to recover original text, it means we have the original and if we produce one then this issue no longer matters. The while we do not have it although we can do it is a problem as seen by none experts. It is like we have all the components and expertise to make a perfect ship but we are not bothered with making one and meanwhile keep using the ones not so perfect ones. So if one asks us, have you got a perfect ship? We say, we can make one because we have everything we need for it to do that but no we have not done it yet. This leaves room for doubt for those who cannot know we are telling them the truth or just making up things. So why keep ourselves in this kind of situation? There is only and only one version of the Quranic text and all the rest are errors and no one bothered to solve this problem.

3] This is to happen because the opponents of His guidance follow falsehood that is not consistent with realities of real world therefore leads to divisions thereby troubles and destruction, while those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind follow the advice from their Creator and Sustainer because it is consistent with self evident realities in the world that leads to brotherhood thereby to solutions of their self created problems. This is how Allah explains for mankind things through reason based exemplary lessons.

4] Therefore when you face the opponents of the way of life advised by Allah for the benefit of humanity in the battlefield who wage open war on you by driving you out of your homes keep striking at the very roots of their heads till you have defeated them completely then take them as prisoners of war and bind them firmly. After the danger of war is over you should release prisoner of war with or without ransom as a favour to them. Thus is Our law for you in case of wars. Had Allah planned He could have granted them victory over you but He planned to put you the mankind through struggle so that some of you keep others in check. So hard works of those who are fought against for supporting the cause of Allah will never be without beneficial results for mankind.

5] As for those who survive the battle soon He will guide them to do things to improve their condition of existence

6] and that is how He will enter them in a blissful kingdom which He has promised them.

7] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, if you will help each other to establish the way of life advised by Allah in the world then He too will help you through each other to establish you firmly in the world.

8] As for the opponents of advised way of life by Allah, they are bound to self destruction because He sees their actions taking them in that direction.

9] All this because they hate the revelations of Allah and they are enemies of humanity therefore He renders their thoughts and actions fruitless.

10] Have they not travelled through the world and seen what was the end of those who have gone before them? Allah let them destroy themselves utterly and a similar fate awaits these enemies of humanity if they do not learn sense in time.

11] This is because guidance from Allah is protector of those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind while opponents of His guidance have nothing to protect them.

12] Surely Allah will admit those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind such as take actions to help humanity grow and prosper to kingdoms throughout which livelihood flows like rivers. As for those who oppose guidance of Allah, their elite enjoys good things the life has to offer so they eat like animals having no sense of caring for others and sharing things with others therefore fire of hatred among themselves is their destination to remain in.

13] Do these people not realise that how many cities which were mightier than your city which has driven you out We have seen destroy themselves due to their opposition to Our guidance, this why there was no one to save them?

14] Can he who follows the evidence based guidance from his Master be compared to him who is misled by his own harmful and destructive ambitions and desires whose harmful and destructive works against mankind seem beneficial for himself?

These verses are making a very important point about people and guidance. A people who are guided by Allah live for the benefit of mankind but a people who are not guided live for themselves ie for personal gains at the expense of human community. So a Muslim can only be a person who works for the benefit of humanity and any person who works for himself to make gains at the expense of human community is a nonMuslim. A person who declares commitment to one thing and does another is either ignorant or hypocrite. Ummah needs to assess for itself what it is doing in light of these like Quranic verses. Each Muslim declares that as far as s/he is concerned Allah alone is ruler of this kingdom and so one is binds oneself to living by his rule and law alone. However all Muslim states today are based on ruling systems other than that told by the Quran. All this because people have given up study of the Quran in favour of mullahs who have taken over interpretation of the Quranic message and they have distorted it and instead of message of the Quran have spread their own self invented beliefs which helped separate Quran from its purpose for revelation ie the Quran was sent so that people rule the world according to it as the ultimate authority but instead the Quran is put aside and people are ruling the world as they please. There are clear commandments in the Quran that those who do not rule by the book from Allah are KAAFIR or are MUSHRIK ie they have nothing to do with Quran and Islam. So ummah needs to wake up and see where it stands. Is ummah today an Islamic ummah or just another nonMuslim group of people in light of the Quranic injunctions? Are mullahs supporters of the Quran or its opposers?

15] The description of a blissful kingdom that is advised for those who are consistent with each other according to Our guidance is, therein should be rivers of water that never stops flowing and rivers of milk that never loses its attraction as well as rivers of wine tasty for drinkers and rivers of honey pure and clear. In there they should have all kinds of beneficial fruits secured according to guidance of their Creator and Sustainer. Can such people then be like those who dwell in fire of mutual hatred among themselves so they deliver to each other hateful talk that cuts through their very foundation they base themselves upon?

In these verses the main point made is that when people work as individuals doing their own things based on rivalries and animosities then such a population cannot prosper much because in such a population people hold each other back from making progress at a full speed and becoming prosperous. On the other hand if people stick together sensibly and follow a program then they can leave rest of people behind. The Quran then explains what kind of kingdoms those who accept its message should bring about so that rest of the world follows their example and humanity becomes free of all sorts of worries and then concentrates on travelling throughout the universe to see what Allah has created and how great is all this universe. All this so that man realises how great his creator is, for which Allah created mankind.

Things mentioned in the Quran as description of blissful kingdoms are symbolic. For example, rivers of flowing water also means nonstop production and distribution of livelihood for the community within the kingdom. Rivers of milk also means the pure opinions people hold about each other which keep them together as a community. Rivers of wine also means fountains of knowledge that community keeps learning and teaching each other so that the kingdom keeps going from strength to strength instead of falling apart after a while due to lack of knowledge needed to keep the blissful kingdom going. Likewise rivers of honey also means sweet conversation people have with each other. Unless people have the capacity told in the Quran they can never bring about the kingdom that is based upon divine guidance. On the other hand people who do not tie themselves into a beautiful brotherhood will always end up divided due to rivalries and animosities so fires of hatred will always ignite between them therefore wars will never stop between them. So it is up to mankind themselves what they choose for themselves, the way to peace or the way to wars.

16] Some of these people do listen to you but no sooner do they leave your presence then they ask those endowed with knowledge, what was he was talking about just now? Such are the people in whose very person Allah finds their remaining ignorant as a barrier against understanding things and that is why they follow their own harmful and destructive ambitions and desires.

This verse tells us why some people accept and others do not accept divine guidance because they choose to remain ignorant and ignorance becomes a barrier which stops them from learning and understanding things therefore they remain as they are ie divine guidance does not benefit them because it needs not only working brains but brains that are trained in getting information about things and making sense of it.

17] As for those who have acquired capability of understanding His guidance, Allah keeps increasing amount of guidance for them that is how He enables them to become consistent with His guidance and each other to free themselves from their self created troubles in due course.

18] By keeping themselves ignorant, are the opponents of guidance of Allah and proper human community waiting for the period of upheavals to overtake them all of a sudden? Are they not aware that its signs have already come so when it will actually overtake them, what chance will they have to benefit by this admonition?

When a population lives by a way of life that lands it into uprising and upheavals, signs begin to appear within a short period of time of several generations. It is always possible to pull back from destruction up to a time after signs begin to appear but after that nothing saves a people from self destruction. A people who live like animals, die like animals unless they change their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours within a given time period. It is like you are up on a tree and start cutting the branch you are standing upon. So long as you realise your mistake and stop before falling down of the branch, you can save yourself but once the final blow is struck to cut the branch you are going to come down with the branch.

19] So let mankind know O messenger that none has the right to rule this world other than Allah so on basis of His guidance alone seek blissful kingdom for protection of yourself as well as the men and the women that have committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind against any of your vulnerabilities, that is how Allah makes obvious for you your plan of actions and your goals.

This verse is about letting people know that Allah is the only ruler of this kingdom and only his guidance is valid to go by for mankind. So people should seek protection thereby in form of getting support of people for bringing about the blissful kingdom as explained by Allah wherein they could live in peace by taking care of all their vulnerabilities and short comings. Bringing about a peaceful state, running it successfully and securing it is not an easy task at all. Not only that when people start a movement others become concerned and if their vested interests come under danger then they rise to protect them any way they can. This leads to spying on people and causing troubles in the movements through agents so that the movement fails. Same thing happens when messengers of Allah go through this process. It is interest of human community against interest of a few individuals who have desire to be the rulers and masters of the masses.

20] Because of the saying of those who have committed themselves to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, why is not a surah revealed regarding matters related to our security? However now that a Surah about setting up of rule of Allah has been sent wherein is lesson about dealing with issues of armed struggle, you will see those in whose hearts is a disease looking at you like the one who is going through process of death. But more fitting response for them

21] was to be consistent with Our guidance and to say and do what was beneficial for the community, that would have shown their sense and courage about this matter because they could have proven themselves truly committed to the cause and that would have been beneficial for them.

22] Now that you have shown this response what can be expected of you if you are put in place of responsibility other than to inflict harm and destruction upon people in the kingdom by violating the set rights of people?

23] Such are the people whom Allah has found far away from benefiting from His blissful program as if they are deaf and blind due to lack of sight.

24] Why do they not ponder over what the Quranhas to say? Have they placed locks upon their brains?

This is a situation like a child who locks himself in a room and starts crying and complaining. People should grow up and show some sense.

25] So those who turn back to their old ways after the guidance has been made clear to them they do so only because they are seduced by harmful and destructive leadership that gives them false hopes.

26] That is why they said to those who showed aversion to what Allah has revealed, we will assist you in some matters but Allah makes their motives obvious in due course through their own actions.

27] But what will they do when the missionaries of Allah come to pay them back in full what they have done, smashing their objectives and defeating their supporters?

28] That will happen to them because they follow the way that is invitation to moving away from the path of Allah that leads mankind to blissful and dignified life, therefore He finds their works void of any benefits for mankind.

29] Do those in whose hearts is a disease of domination others by undermining them think that Allah will not bring to light through their actions in due course their conspiracies?

30] Behold! If that is Our plan, We will make them obvious to you in due course so that you recognize them due to their characteristics, that is why you will surely recognise them by tone of their speech. That is how Allah exposes them to you through their own actions.

31] Moreover We will put you through long and hard struggle until We make obvious to mankind the steadfast and consistently persistent among you, that is how We will make known your struggle widely.

32] Those who oppose guidance of Allah and those who put people on the wrong track by blocking advised way of life by Allah thereby resist mission of the messenger after the guidance from Allah has been made obvious to them will in no way harm plan of Allah, instead their such actions will only prove obstruction for themselves.

The Quran in verses like these points out inventers of religions and how they use them to obstruct the way to DEEN of Allah in the name of Allah by confusing people between religion and way of life. This is how Quran points out works of mullahs. It calls them people who obstruct way of Allah. It is like some one who is standing at the gate and as people try to enter the gate he says go that way instead. They argued against Moses and Jesus before anyone else. They proved enemies from within.

33] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, be consistent with program of Allah as well as be consistent with His messenger so that your hard works do not come to nothing.

This like verses in the Quran point out a very important fact and that is consistency throughout for making the mission of Allah successful. If guidance of Allah and his messengers and people who claim to follow them are all not one for this mission then mission cannot succeed and odd efforts by odd people therefore go to waste due to failure of set mission, task or goal.

34] As for those who oppose guidance of Allah and those who obstruct the way of Allah then they are defeated yet remain opposed to living according to guidance of Allah then guidance of Allah cannot provide them with life of security.

The Quran here explains that there is no compulsion from God for people to come into Islam but because it is the way humanity should be living otherwise mankind cannot avoid divisions within population and if they divide then self interest based groups cannot be avoided therefore consequences for divisions cannot be avoided. So instead of stick reason is used to convince people towards Islamic way of life. This is not Islam of mullahs the Quran is talking about. Mullahs never even thought of exploring the universe and if anyone ever did anything in that direction they always denied the achievements of humanity. The Quran is full of verses telling mankind about lesson in all of the creations which people should learn by observation and experimentation and go beyond that by showing people have the ability to be creative because that what Allah created them for. Mullahs call to a different Islam and true missionaries call to a different Islam and people should realise that.

35] Therefore you should not show slackness in learning and doing things by relying on idleness because you will surely gain the upper hand. So long as you are supported by guidance of Allah there is no way that He will let your hard works go to waste.

36] The life in this world is made troublesome for some and amusement for others by human kind but not so if you commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and be consistent with guidance of Allah and mankind because then His set-up systems and laws deliver you faithful outcome of your proper actions where after you are not deprived of your due possessions.

37] If the messenger were to demand all of your possessions for personal gains like others and pressed you hard for it then you too would grow stingy like others but He wants to bring out of you all of your malice and turn you into a proper human community that lives for each other.

38] So that you become such a people who call for contributions by all in the way of Allah for the benefit of mankind because some among you are stingy. However any who remains stingy by not using what he can to help others, he is only causing loss his human community. Such people should realise that Allah is self sufficient and it is you the mankind who depend upon Him for fulfilment of your needs. Should you turn away from His advised way of living then He will let others replace you who will not be full of malice against their own kind like you.

Finally, it is said that you either follow the guidance and make this world a better place or you will not live for long due to the way you choose to live by, so other people will soon replace you ie generations and nations come and go but only those people live long who know how to live more successfully.











Surah 48 AL-FATH- Opening of the door to creation of blissful kingdom for the mankind

This surah is named AL-FATAH from root FAA, TAA and HAA. This is same root as surah1 AL-FAATIHA. It means opening and victory etc etc.

This surah is named AL-FATH because the Quran talks about creation of a state in the world that is based upon guidance from Allah so that people could have a blissful and dignified life in there. It is because till people become free of worries and regrets they cannot fully concentrate on other objectives wholeheartedly. A hungry man cannot think of anything else other than food and a thirsty man cannot think of anything other than something to drink. In order to get things man is cutting throat of another man due to his stupidity so guidance of Allah opens the door for humanity to look at things in another way that could take mankind to a higher level of thinking and doing things. So once people become free of such problems by organising and regulating themselves sensibly as told then they can concentrate on rest of things in the universe they need to do.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] Surely We have opened for success of your mission a highway that is manifest,

2] so that guidance of Allah secures you from your vulnerabilities from the front as well as from the back so that He fulfils His blissful and dignifying program through you by guiding you to the way of life that is firmly founded

3] so that thereby Allah assists you with His mighty support.

4] It is He alone who brought satisfaction to minds of those who are committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind in order to add confidence in their trust in mission based brotherhood. All this was possible because to Allah alone belong forces of the heavens and the earth and rule of Allah is based on knowledge.

5] He has guided you to do as you have done, so that He admits the leaders and the communities who are committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind into blissful kingdoms wherein flow things of need like rivers and that is how He removes from them harmful and destructive actions against each other and that is a great achievement in the sight of Allah.

6] And so that He leaves leaders and parties of hypocrites and leaders and parties of those who take for rulers other than Allah to suffer the painful suffering because they harbour harmful and destructive thoughts against mission of Allah. Upon them will befall the harm and destruction they plot because they are distancing themselves from the blissful program of Allah and that is how He lets them prepare for themselves life of painful suffering which is a debasing goal to have.

7] Because to Allah alone belong forces of the heavens and the earth and Allah is mighty wise ruler of the universe.

8] O messenger, We have sent you on a mission to put before mankind the evidence based guidance We have revealed to you thereby give good news of unity, peace, progress and prosperity to those who commit to following Our guidance and follow it as well as to deliver the bad news to those who ignore and oppose it that they will end up in painful suffering.

9] Therefore O people, you should commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of humanity according to guidance of Allah along with His messenger and support him by giving due importance to what he puts before you. Moreover you should work day and night to manifest glory of rule of Allah in the land for the betterment of mankind.

10] Surely those who agree with your mission they are agreeing with advice of Allah therefore responsibility to manifest sovereignty of Allah in the world rests upon them so any who fails to fulfil his this responsibility will put himself and his kind on the road to painful suffering as a consequence. However, any people who will fulfil their this responsibility for manifesting glory of rule by Allah will soon be rewarded with great outcome in form of blissful kingdom.

11] The Bedouin Arabs who held back themselves from joining you in acting for the mission will soon say to you, our things and our families kept us occupied but do seek secure life for us as well by bringing about the blissful kingdom. They will say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Tell them, who can manage anything for you when it comes to planning and set-up of Allah because it depends upon yourselves to benefit according to plan of Allah or end up in harm. However be aware that Allah is aware of whatever you ought to be doing.

12] Yet instead of acting upon guidance of Allah and joining others already struggling for the mission you people thought that the Messenger and those who are committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind will never come back to their families and this thought gave pleasure to your hearts. You conceived such harmful and destructive thoughts therefore you people are a lost cause.

13] Remember always! Any party that does not commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind by its actions according to guidance of Allah along with messenger Our plan and set-up systems and laws will land such people in painful suffering as an outcome of their own actions.

14] Be aware O mankind that the sovereignty of the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah alone. He secures those who work according to His guidance and leaves those to suffer who ignore working according to His guidance. That is how Allah makes obvious for mankind that He protect humanity through His blissful and dignifying program.

15] When you set out to take steps for growth and development of proper human community those who hold back themselves from learning things properly say, let us come with you. They desire to change the way Allah has advised you to do things. Tell them clearly that you cannot come with us because that is what Allah has said already. But their response is, rather you are jealous of us because we will be more successful than you. The fact is, it is a question of who is most suitable for the mission at any given time and place and not a matter for envy but little do they understand such simple things.

16] Regardless tell the Bedouin Arabs who held themselves back from acting for the mission earlier that if you will prepare yourselves well then soon you will be called upon to strive for the mission against a mighty people then you may end up in a fight with them or they may accept working for the mission of peace. At that time if you will prove consistent by your actions with what you say then Allah will reward you with beautiful life but if you will prove yourselves inconsistent like you did previously then He will leave you to lead yourselves into life of painful suffering.

17] There is no blame on the blind, the lame, and the sick if they stay behind when you go forth for the mission. Any such people that are consistent with guidance of Allah and His messenger will be admitted to blissful kingdoms wherein things of need will flow like rivers, but any that turn away will be left to lead themselves into life of painful suffering.

18] Allah surely approves act of those who are committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind when they agreed with you under the constitution that is how what is in their hearts is made obvious therefore came upon them satisfaction and that is how soon He will open the doors for them widely to spread the message,

19] and this is how there will come about for them many things to grab that help growth and development of a proper human community because Allah is mighty wise ruler of the kingdom of the universe.

20] Allah has promised you many things that help growth and development of a proper human community for you to get your hands on so that thereby He hastens your progress and prosperity and restrains the hands of people who oppose your mission. All this so that it serves as a lesson for those who are committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind so that He guides you to the way of life that is firmly founded.

21] Besides what you can get your hands on just now He also promises you other beneficial things which are not yet within your reach but Allah will bring them within your reach also because Allah has set-up systems and laws to govern all affairs of everything.

22] Even if the opponents of Our advised way of life had fought with you they would have been put to flight by you because they would not have found any protector or supporter.

23] Such has been the way of Allah in the past for dealing with such people and you will find no change in the practice of Allah.

24] It is He Who has restrained their hands from you and your hands from them due to foundation that is capable of providing mankind the basis to build themselves upon as a proper human community after He had helped you success against them because Allah understands things that you should be doing for the good of each other.

Word MAKKAH is from root MEEM, KAAF and KAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is something that absorbs or attracts or sucks up the last drop of milk, water or blood etc. A city in Saudi Arabia, a place that is void of greenery or agriculture eg desert land where nothing grows due to lack of water etc. A place where nobody lives, a place that can act as a solid foundation for erecting building upon. A place wherein gather people, a meeting place etc etc.

Word AZFARA is from root ZWAA, FAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to get through something intact. To overcome, triumph, win victory, be victorious. To be able to convince the opponent through strength of arms or words or both etc etc.

25] They are the ones who opposed Our guidance and obstructed you from bringing about the Sacred Kingdom thus they tried to prevent Our guidance from fulfilling its intended purpose. Had there not been leaders and communities who committed themselves to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind whom you could have undermined due to being unaware about them, Allah would have allowed you to fight but He held back your hands so that He admits in the group that follows His blissful program those who choose to work for it. Had they isolated themselves from working for blissful program then We would have left such people to go through painful suffering as covered up Our guidance.

Words MASJID AL-HARAAM have been explained already, a place wherein are implemented commandments of Allah to properly fulfil needs and wants of people. In the Quranic concept masjid is not a place of worship but a place wherefrom administration of the kingdom carries out its duties to the people ie a government office. It means divine kingdom because the land under control of such an administration is divine kingdom due to implementation of divine program, constitution and laws. Masjid is a place wherein people submit to laws of Allah or abide by his laws. This is not place of worship because the Quran does not present any such God who needs people to worship him. Worship concept is related to idols and other visible things that people take for worship. People cannot worship Allah but only can obey his laws. Allah has given mankind laws for their own benefit so that mankind could live properly and grow mentally and physically. So that the reason why God created all this world could become fulfilled. The reason is recognition of the fact that Allah is truly a great creator through creative ability of humanity itself. Humans cannot express their creative abilities till they use their heads for thinking and bodies for doing things that express their hidden abilities. There is no sense in banging one’s head on the floor in order to please the creator. It looks terrible when people bang their heads on the floor and wave their behinds in the air. A position Allah does not like because he did not create man to humiliate him himself. He did not even animals for this purpose. Everything in the universe is created to serve a purpose and that is not worship of Allah but to do as told for fulfilling the task set out for it by Allah. Sun is created to give light and heat, not to bang its head anywhere. No chicken bangs its head on the floor. Not even sheep do that. Only man does silly things and humiliates himself before all things when Allah created him to rise above all things in the universe. How sensible it is to worship and to worship everything? If anything all things ought to worship man instead of man worshiping them because mankind is able to use them at will. It is therefore very important for man to grow in knowledge to realise that Allah has created everything for him to benefit from and that he has set a different purpose for mankind than other things ie recognition of Allah through presence of his will and his creativity. The Quranic teaching therefore is anti religion and anti mullaism and anti politics based upon use and abuse of mankind. The Quran wants mankind to recognise true rights of each other and true responsibilities towards each other. Unless people do that there is no chance of anyone bringing about divine kingdom.

26] While the opponents of Our mission harboured in their selves the sense of domination over each other by undermining each other as they used to do in time of ignorance, Allah brought satisfaction to His messenger and those who committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and that is how He convinced them to adhere to His word that teaches consistency to mankind and that is how they proved they were worthy of receiving this guidance and deserved it because Allah has set-up systems and laws to govern all affairs of all things.

The Quran again and again tells people give up sense of dominating each other and thereby undermining each other. Come together and work for higher goals than inflating one’s ego by rubbing each other’s noses. Give up such mentality and be a brotherhood of humanity caring and sharing things. In other words open the doors to each other not shut them.

27] Surely Allah has vindicated vision of His messenger by helping him to turn it into a reality. That is why he will be able to bring about the advised kingdom as Allah has planned peacefully with people gathering around their group leaders, properly organised and regulated having nothing to worry about. That is how He makes obvious to you things about which you were not aware and that is how He will open other doors for you in near future to succeed.

28] Because it is He who has sent His messenger with guidance for mankind for the way of life that is consistent with reality so that He make it obvious to mankind that it is far more beneficial for them than all other ways of life that they have adopted for themselves and sufficient is this testimony of Allah for that purpose.

29] Muhammad is messenger of Allah and those with him stand rock solid against attacks of those who oppose his mission but they are compassionately soft for each other. When you come across them you will find them moulding themselves in accordance to guidance of Allah by submitting to it, seeking bounties of Allah according to His guidance. The signs of their submission to guidance of Allah are reflected by their personalities. This is their description in the Torah and their description in the Injeel. They are like the seed which puts forth its sprout then strengthens it and then becomes thick and stands firmly on its stem. Delighting the sowers of the seed so that thereby Allah stimulates those who oppose His guidance into thinking and accepting His guidance. Because promise is made by Allah to those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind who take actions to help humanity grow and prosper that for such of them is secure existence as a great outcome of their own actions.








Surah 49 AL-HUJURAAT–Social, political and economic systems, structures, procedures and practices

This surah is named AL-HUJURAAT from root HAA, JEEM and RAA. This root is already explained but just to remind, it means stone, chamber, room, house, limitation, boundary, inhibition, obstruction, prohibition, structure, procedure, practice, intelligence, cleverness etc etc.

This surah is named AL-HUJURAAT because the Quran talks about gathering of people to discuss things concerning the community in an organised and regulated way to reach collective decisions and to act upon them to get results. It talks about handling situations and things sensibly instead of creating chaos and confusion in community. It is explained that it is up to Allah to explain his creation and revelation and up to people to learn things sensibly and act upon them for their own good. It is also made clear that if any people come to adopt Islamic way of life it is not because they are doing so only for others as a favour but because it is going to benefit them as well. It is made absolutely clear that there is no Islam if people have no understanding of the message and then commitment to actualising it. Blind faith has no place in Islam is made quite clear in this surah. So mullaism and its following has nothing to do with Islam nor ways of life adopted by ruling elites around the world. Quranic Islam is anti master slave divide, mindset, attitude and behaviour. So people who think they have divine sanction to rule people should review their stance and change before things are changed by others all around them. Islam is all about committing to working for turning human population into a working brotherhood based upon divine guidance.

People are strictly forbidden to create divisions but obligated to bring people together on basis of divine guidance in form of the Quran. The context of revelation is to bring together the warring factions instead of creating wars by dividing people in the name of the Quran. A clear proof that Islam is way of life that lands humanity in peace and harmony and thereby progress and prosperity. So any nonsense by mullahs and their fake opponents who claim Islam means war should be confronted with context of the Quranic text. Stupidity of mullahs and ignorant molvies who follow them blindly should not be allowed to carry on rather scholars of deen of Islam must confront such elements if ummah is to get out of ditch mullahs have landed it in. Time for ummah to study the Quran itself instead of learning it of mullahs and ignorant molvies. Only if ummah educates itself that it can deliver message of the Quran to rest of educated world properly to help them see Islam in its proper context and perspective. It will then not take very long before we truly have one world, the way it should be.

The problem as I see it is that some of the people are not aware of the fact that the Quranic words have other meanings as well than the ones used by translators of the Quran. The fact that even the very same translator uses different meanings of the very same words in different places within his Quranic translation is a clear proof that words do have other meanings. The other problem is that some people are not willing to accept the fact that the Quranic text does have a definite context. No matter what we need to realise that without context you cannot understand any piece of text let alone a book. Yet another problem is that people are not willing to accept the fact that the Quran is not a religious holy book for worship of God instead it is all about human community set-up, organisation and regulation for growth and prosperity of mankind.

Another problem is that mullahs keep telling us there are verses in the Quran that are about waging wars against infidels. I do not say that fighting verses are not in the Quran but my point is that there is a context to all this. The context is that there is a permanent struggle between people regardless of the Quran. This struggle is all about who controls land and resources in the world and means of production and distribution. Only a stupid person can deny this fact. The fact is, this struggle was there long before the revelation of the Quran so the Quran is not the initiator of this struggle and strife between people. The Quran was sent to end the wars between humanity for land and resources as well as means of production and distribution. It sets mankind some goals and guidelines in order to do that as I have explained already. If we organise as advised by the Quran and regulate our human community the way the Quran puts forth then all of us can live a reasonable life. Can any of us put forth any terms and conditions better than the Quran to create peace and unity or harmony between humanity? If we cannot and no one has for last 1400 plus years then we will be better off trying what the Quran says. It is because we have seen it ourselves and history is also our witness what human beings have been putting each other through.

Now if we look at war verses in the Quran, it is only telling us that we must struggle against those who do not accept Quranic goals and guidelines or terms and conditions for peace and unity between people for their own progress and prosperity. The question is, what is wrong with that if any of us knows what the goals and guidelines of the Quran are? Will you rather let criminal elements among us human beings have their way with humanity? Antisocial elements must be controlled even if we have to kill a few so that humanity could live in peace. After all what is there outside the peace treaty that is offered to mankind by the Quran? Romans and Persians were fighting each other long before Quran was sent by Allah. World did not live by worthwhile peace treaty based on terms and conditions as told in the Quran. So the Quran provided us human being a way out of wars and destructions by getting rid of warmongering elements that fought for their domination over others. If we really want to live in peace and harmony and want to do useful things with our lives then we have no choice but to accept Quranic advice or the alternative is keep on fighting for ever for our domination over each other and keep suffering the consequences, each time worse than before. Has world ever succeeded that way? No. Will it ever succeed that way? No. Then are we people mad because we are keep going the same way which only leads to painful suffering, death and destruction and chaos and confusion? This is what the Quran calls living in regrets and worries all the time. People who will live by way of life told in the Quran therefore will have no worries and anxieties and panic attacks. Find out what we are doing to each other whereby so many people are having nervous break downs and near half of human population is living on anti depressants.

So people must give themselves time to think things through and they will come to see that the Quran is not a book that makes people foolish. It is a book that makes people very sensible therefore it is a very useful book, so useful that we cannot afford to throw it away and live without it. The day we humans understand the Quran properly that is the day we will come to realise what was missing in our thoughts and in our lives. Of course the Quran based life is very demanding because stupid people cannot actualise it to start with. Quran requires or rather demands thinking minds and active bodies because turning this world into a paradise is not an easy thing to do.

People will have to work hard day and night in order to educate each other and plan things and do them as a family. As I explained already Islam is all about proper management of human population and available resources so that mankind have a great life worth living. This is what the Quran calls life in paradise and on the contrary fighting each other over things like dogs is life in hell. My work may help people look for things in the right direction and each person can only benefit as much as the effort one puts into things. You will not find me inviting you into blind faith. Quran does not need stupid following but a following that can actualise its plan for humanity. All this needs convinced minds that work for it because they believe in themselves and the program because they think they can make it work.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, proceed not from here on without the constitution of Allah and His messenger so be consistent with guidance of Allah as well as each other. Surely Allah observes all things and makes them obvious for you the people to understand, plan and do.

2] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, consider not your voices above that of the voice of the messenger nor raise your voices in his presence as you address each other outside the assembly in case your plans for actions come to nothing due to your unawareness of things being discussed for decisions.

3] Those who keep their discussions and decisions according to the given framework of messenger of Allah such are the ones whose minds Allah has opened due to revelation for consistency with His guidance and each other so they work very hard for the well being of each other therefore they will surely end up in blissful and dignified secure existence which will be a great outcome of their own actions.

4] As to those who carry on working outside the systems, structures, procedures and practices you the messenger set up, most of them hardly use their sense to understand things properly.

5] If only they had worked hard consistently till you had reached them, that would have benefited them because Allah secures people by educating them through His blissful program.

6] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind if at any time any trouble making person comes to you with some piece of information regarding a people or state then pass it on to your people of relevant department for investigation so that you as a state do not act on this information before its verification in case you harm some other people unwittingly and then regret what you have done.

7] So be aware of the fact that the messenger of Allah is sent among you to guide you through guidance from Allah but instead if he were to follow you rather than leading you then in most affairs you all will be in troubles because you lack information and its proper understanding about matters that need your decisions. That is how Allah endeared you and beautified it in your minds working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and made you abhor living by any other way of life that leads to divisions and animosities through suspicions due to misinformation and disinformation, leading you to mistrust and distrust thereby to inflicting harm and destruction upon each other and to be disloyal to each other and messenger of Allah as well as rule of Allah. All this because such are the people who are guided properly.

8] The blissful program from Allah leads to prosperity and freedom from all kinds of poverty and ills in human community. That is how Allah makes obvious His wisdom based rule for humanity to see.

9] However if at any time two parties from among those who claim to be working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind fall into dispute and end up in fighting, take proper steps to remove causes of tension between them and restore peace between them on grounds of brotherhood, fairness and compassion. However if either of the parties fails to agree on proper terms and conditions and instead decides to continue the fight against the other then fight all of you together the party that has transgressed against program, constitution and law of Allah till it accepts rule of Allah and if it does turn to guidance of Allah then make peace between them with justice and be fair and compassionate, for Allah approves those who are fair and just with kindness.

10] Surely those who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind are brothers to one another therefore make reconciliation between your brothers thus be consistent with program, constitution and law of Allah, so that Allah makes manifest for all to see His blissful and dignifying program for humanity actualised.

11] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, let no nation conquer another nation to enslave it, it is possible that the nation being conquered is better than the one that conquers it so let no community or party among you overpower another party or community to enslave it because it is possible that community or party that is being overpowered is better than the one overpowers it, nor label one another by offensive names. It is very harmful and destructive thing to do to your human brotherhood and for the victims of such abuse to be called by a bad name particularly after the party has chosen to declare commitment to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind so those who do not hold themselves back from such a practice are the ones who do things to harm and destroy others and that is how they act against the interest of wider brotherhood of humanity.

Word YASKHAR is from root SEEN, KHAA and RAA. It has been explained already but just to remind, it means to laugh at something or to take control of something to make use of it or to humiliate etc etc.

12] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, avoid greatly acting against each other merely on the basis of baseless thoughts because acting upon even some of the baseless thoughts could lead to harm and destruction of your brotherhood and for the same reason do not conspire against each other to inflict damage and destruction on each other. Would any of you be happy in harming and destroying your brother in humanity by taking away what he rightfully has? Surely you will abhor such an act if you really loved and cared about your brother, your family, your tribe, your fellow workers for peace and prosperity as well as larger human community because that is where all the benefits you have received came from for you. So be consistent with program, constitution and law of Allah in whose name you decide rights and responsibilities for each other and that is how Allah shows that He has turned to you the mankind with His blissful and dignifying program.

13] O mankind! We have surely evolved you from a male and a female and organised you into nations and tribes so that you become aware of rights and responsibilities of each other and fulfil your constitutional obligations to each other. Surely the most blissful and dignified person of you is the one who is most consistent with program, constitution and law of Allah for the growth and prosperity of mankind. Surely Allah will make all this evident in due course through results of your own actions showing clearly He is aware of all that you ought to be doing.

14] The people who do not yet know Our program, constitution and law say, we are committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. Say, you are not yet committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind because you have not yet learned the purpose of Allah for creation and revelation and His program, constitution and guidelines for law that set out terms and conditions for commitment to working for peace and prosperity of mankind but you can declare your commitment that you have committed yourselves to learning about Islam because the proper concept of Islam has not yet entered your minds. Meanwhile if you prove to be consistent with guidance of Allah and each other as you become more and more aware of revelation through His messenger then Allah will not deny you the fruits of your course of actions because Allah protects mankind through His blissful program, constitution and law.

15] Surely the truly committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind are only those who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of humanity according to the program, constitution and law of Allah along with His messenger then never doubt the mission after properly understanding it and strive hard for its success with all they have putting even themselves on the line in order to establish the set goal of Allah for the benefit of mankind. Such are the ones who are really true to their claim of commitment to peace, progress and prosperity of mankind which they prove by their actions.

16] Say, think about which is really sensible thing to do, you people learning and following the way of life advised by Allah or you people telling Allah to accept your ways of life? Remember always! It is Allah who makes obvious for mankind in due course all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth because He has proper information about all things and its proper understanding?

17] These people think they are doing you a big favour by declaring their commitment to learning Islam. Say to them, you have conferred upon me no big favour by committing to learning Islam rather it was Allah Who has conferred a huge favour upon you in guiding you towards commitment to peace, progress and prosperity of mankind if you are a people who have truly committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind.

18] Surely Allah makes obvious in due course the secrets of the heavens and the earth and so will He make manifest through your actions your commitment to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind that is why Allah made evident and is watching all that you ought to be doing.

Surah 50 QAAF-The Quran is a vector that points humanity in the direction that adds value to it

This surah is named with letter QAAF. The letter could stand for QURAN but if we take is as a word from root QAAF, ALIF and FAA then it means the world or worldwide or highest or largest pointer or vector that is visible from anywhere as a landmark which could be used for reference purposes as a locater or guide. In a way it is telling us the Quran is a universal guide for mankind which points people in the right direction for their unity, peace, progress and prosperity therefore it adds ultimate value to humanity should it follow it. This surah seems to be self explanatory so not much needs to be said about it. It is telling people to be alert to changes that will take place ie the world will either move to Islamic way of life or it will move away from it or it will split therefore some will establish divine kingdom and others will end up harming and destroying themselves and as a result for them will come time of upheavals till they end up destroyed or change their way of life. A strange thing this surah talks about is the opening up of the world for mankind ie research and exploration of the universe. That is the time when mankind will be find easier to convince each other about living a life based upon the Quran. A clear proof that ignorant people are difficult to educate to the level the Quran requires for its understanding. In other words people will become united once they have educated themselves out of their ignorance. It shows how important is education in light of the Quran and human experience, so all those who try to keep people ignorant cannot be friends of humanity because they are responsible for prolonging human suffering by keeping people ignorant therefore useless for themselves and others. This surah ends with telling the messenger keep spreading the message as much as you can, working hard day and night. People cannot unite unless they have a reason to do so this is why the Quranic message provides that reason that humanity needs. This also tells us that unless we understand this message ourselves and are convinced about its truth and its value for humanity it means absolutely nothing. The less number of people get involved in spread of this message the longer it will take humanity to educate itself and if there is opposition as well than that increases the problem yet more many folds. So job of prophets was a tough one and that shows what kind of people these men were. The very fact that these people were able to influence their people in such short time is very difficult to explain if not altogether impossible.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] QAAF. The Quran is the evidence that it can lead mankind to glorious life,

2] yet they think it strange that there has come to them an alerter about this fact from among themselves so those who oppose Our guidance say, this is a strange thing

3] that after we have fallen and are lying in dust as a people we are to rise to glory, such a return to glory is far from possible.

4] We surely make obvious all the defects in socio-political and socioeconomic landscape therefore We have sent the book from Us to secure blissful and dignified life for mankind.

5] Yet instead of accepting the message that is consistent with real world realities they refuse it because they are a confused people.

6] Why do they not observe the cosmic space that surrounds them and figure out how We have caused it to come about and adorned it, should they do that, they will find no inconsistency between purpose for which it is created and the actual creation?

7] And why do they not observe the earth and figure out how We have expanded it in a way that we have raised masses above its surface as land and mountains and caused to grow in it every kind of beautiful growth from the very same tree of life?

8] All these things are eye-opening evidences for people who will observe them and reflect on them to learn lessons from them and turn to Allah for guidance as to how to live properly in this world in hope of better future.

9] We send down water from the heaven in abundance for prosperity of mankind with which We bring forth gardens and the harvest grain,

10] and tall palm trees laden with clusters of dates, piled one over the other,

11] a sustenance for the creatures whereby We give life to dead land and people. That is how the fallen nations rise up inspired by Our revelations.

12] Before these people, the people of Noah and the dwellers of Ar-Rass denied benefits of this truth to themselves and so did Thamud,

13] Aad, Pharaoh and the brethren of Lot,

14] the dwellers of Al-Aiykah and the people of Tubba, all of them opposed their messengers and thus brought upon themselves forewarned painful life making it a reality.

15] Were Our set-up systems and laws overwhelmed by behaviour of Our earlier human creatures that they are in doubt that We will not be able to handle things in relation to future generations of human creatures?

16] We surely evolved man in such a way that We make obvious motives that arise in his mind through his actions, so that Our guidance proves very fundamental for his blissful and dignified existence.

17] For that reason We bestowed man with two cerebral hemispheres, one seated on his right and the other on his left.

18] Not a single thought he expresses but his awareness along with Our guidance helps him keep within set limits.

19] Because unawareness of things that bring destruction can prove destruction a reality. That is something you would rather stay away from.

20] That is how We breathe awareness into unaware minds, because that is the way coming about of forewarned period can be avoided.

21] Therefore every person will come forth with his driving force that bears witness to the way he lived.

22] You the mankind were indeed unaware of this but We removed your cover of ignorance through Our revelation so that your perception is sharp about coming of this time period.

23] Therefore each victim of every perpetrator of crime will say at that time, here is my statement ready with me about his crimes.

24] So throw into hell every stubborn enemy of guidance of Allah and well being of humanity,

25] the one who stopped any act that could help humanity grow and prosper, who breached set limits himself and caused suspicion and confusion in minds of others against each other,

26] who took on the role of a ruler against advice of Allah so throw him into painful suffering that is severe.

27] His victim will also say, our Creator and Sustainer, I did not provoke him to transgress the limit rather he pumped up himself to breach the set limits.

28] Such people will be told by Our administrators at the time when Our kingdom becomes established, do not dispute with each other in presence of Our guidance because I alerted you all already about coming of this period of time.

29] My set-up systems and laws do not change nor do I inflict harm and destruction upon My human creatures.

30] At that time We will ask people living in hell of their own making, have you had enough? And they will say, is there yet more of this kind of life for us?

31] Blissful kingdom will also be at hand no longer a distant dream for those who are consistent with Our guidance and between themselves,

32] and they will be told, here is blissful kingdom you were promised. It is for every person who turned to guidance of Allah for security of his own existence,

33] who was mindful of the Master of universe in the hope of better future and came to His guidance with fully committed mind.

34] He will be told, enter it in peace and security, this is the day of entry into blissful and dignified life.

35] Therein they will have all that they will wish for and We will have with Us yet more to offer them.

36] Be aware about how many generations of rulers with yet more absolute authority on masses have We let destroy themselves before these people who rule! They wandered about in their kingdoms but found no escape from Our set-up systems and laws to save them from consequences of their own actions?

37] Surely in all this there is a lesson to observe and learn from for every person who has a conscious mind and can hear and see.

38] We created the heavens and the earth and all that lies in between them in consistent stages yet no fatigue touched Us.

39] O prophet therefore put up with them steadfastly whatever they say and do, and keep on working hard from dawn to dusk for manifesting glory of sovereignty of your Master in the world.

40] And even during part of the night also, strive hard to manifest His glory and remain constantly submitted to His guidance with consistency.

41] And look out for the day when the caller for uprising will call out from a place quite near,

42] the day when people will heed the call for mighty upheavals turning it into a reality. That will be the day the people will come forth.

43] Surely it is We Who give life to nations by inspiring them and let them perish when they ignore Our advice because it was up to Us to set goal for mankind,

44] The day the world becomes open to them that will the time when bringing them together for Our goal will be quite easy for Us.

45] We make evident what these opponents of Our guidance express through their words and deeds. You O messenger are not there to compel them to accept Our message. However admonish with this Quran every person you can so that any who wishes to heed Our warning may do so willingly.
















Surah 51 AL-ZAARIYAAT–The parties that need to be despatched for broadcasting this message throughout the world so that blissful kingdom could be brought about by mankind

This surah is named AL-ZAARIYAAT from root ZAAL, RAA and WOW. Concrete meaning of this root is ways and means that give rise to things and spread them for some end goal eg winds raise clouds and spread them to provide fresh water for living things. People take hold of information and spread it or broadcast it so that end goal could be achieved. Windy storms raise clouds of dust and leafs etc and spread them etc etc.

This surah is named AL-ZAARIYAAT because the Quran talks about a movement for establishing a goal ie a blissful kingdom for mankind to live in it a blissful and dignified life. This calls for a message that must be understood and spread so that people could then bring about that sort of kingdom by working together towards that end. Once this kingdom comes about then humanity is to move on to next goal which is to spread throughout the universe by creating similar kingdoms in other galaxies and planets. All this requires a very committed people who need to be highly knowledgeable as well as united and peaceful, progressive and prosperous. A people who have highly creative minds who use that creativity to achieve the set goals by doing the tasks need to be done. If people will not educate themselves about this mission and its message then they will always remain in painful suffering by inflicting atrocities upon each other because that is how living things behaves that live a life of less than animal level instead of rising above it by degrees.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] We call upon you to organise parties for delivery of Our program

It should be noted that many verses in the Quran give rise to parallel concepts and these verses also do that. Here these verses are telling mankind to look at natural world how organised and regulated it is because it is set for a purpose so it works towards that end. After that people are told to look at their human world and see how disorganised and unregulated world it is. The message in these like verses is telling mankind to copy nature and organise and regulate properly so that humanity could solve its facing problems and could therefore have a blissful and dignified existence. For this reason people must take message of the Quran seriously and keep understanding it properly and spreading it generation after generation throughout the world.

2] so that they carry along the message to deliver it widely

3] so that through their courageous activities they bring prosperity to humanity

4] by distributing information about Our set goals

5] surely what you are told is to come to pass

6] that the program, constitution and law of Allah is to become established.

7] We put forth as evidence the human world that was united but became divided

8] because you people surely went your own ways

These verses are also telling us that universe once upon a time was a single mass that then split up and formed galaxies and solar systems that keep serving their purposes. Likewise humanity despite being spread throughout the universe will work as a single unit because so it will become interconnected as human develop continues.

9] but the fact is ignorant and arrogant people always move away from the proper goal by way of their own baseless inventions.

10] Bad news always awaits those who put themselves on a path to harm and destruction by following self created harmful and destructive goals.

11] Those who hand over themselves to ignorance and arrogance

12] They ask, how far is the day when the program, constitution and law of Allah that you tell us about will become established?

13] Say, it will become established during the time when the fire of hatred between them will be at its peak and they will realise the need for it

14] because they will be told by their victims, taste the consequences of your actions! This is what you wanted us to work hard for to hurry it up.

15] As to those who will become consistent with guidance of Allah and humanity, they will end up in kingdoms full of all that they will need and desire,

16] because they will joyfully carry out the program of their Lord that he has given them. They will achieve all that because they will live their lives for the benefit of each other thus making life of each other beautiful.

17] They will rest but a little during the period of darkness of ignorance, harm and destruction

18] so that by working hard in order to protect themselves they could establish the kingdom of their Lord as soon as possible

19] through sharing the work load with those who rightfully share their desire for it because they have been made homeless and dispossessed without any justification.

In verses like this we are left in no doubt that any way of life based upon concept of some people dominating others will go so far as to make others totally dispossessed through keep undermining the weaker people in human population. This is why the way of life told for mankind by the Quran does not allow such rivalries and animosities therefore there is no animosity or hatred. All people live for each other ie mutual growth and prosperity. This is why emphasis on proper planning and doing things properly by organising and regulating people and things properly.

20] So in the world before your very eyes there are plenty of such evidences for those who would bother to verify them to attain certainty for joining this campaign,

21] Moreover you do not need to look far for such evidences because they are found even among your own people, so can you not see?

22] Therefore it is very clear for you to see that security of your sustenance clearly lies in establishing the blissful and dignifying kingdom and that is what you are promised and advised to campaign for.

23] So by the evidence of the testimony of the Lord of the heaven and the earth what you are taught is the right course of action for you and that is going to be your own very conclusion about whole this affair once you study the situation for yourselves.

24] Has the story of dignitaries from strong nations reached you that surrounded Abraham to help him out?

25] When they entered upon his invitation they said, we offer our services to work with you for peace, he said, I accept your offer for working with me for peace. They were people who stood against things harmful and destructive for humanity in that region.

26] That is why he turned to them about his own people and brought to their attention some main concerns about the ruling system in that place.

27] That is how he placed his reservations about it before them saying, why don’t you do something about it?

28] That is because he was fearful about their self destruction and that is how he showed his concern about them. The dignitaries assured him saying, have no worries and they gave him good news of an assistant for his mission endowed with information and understanding.

If we read the Quran carefully, it talks about many attributes of Allah and the purpose of these is, people should develop such qualities in themselves as creatures of Allah. For example, Allah is wise so people should become wise by learning wisdom. Allah is just so people should also become just in dealing with each other. Allah is creator and mankind should also try to be creative etc etc.

29] That is how his nation could be brought out of its state of inactivity after it was set up a goal to accomplish even though it said about itself, an unproductive and a lazy nation.

30] But the dignitaries said, even so that can be changed as explained by your Lord in his revelation to you, surely He is wise and He makes obvious results of peoples’ own actions in due course.

31] Abraham asked, O envoys, what is your assessment of this whole affair?

32] They replied, just now we are despatched by our chief administrator to take care of people involved in criminal activities,

33] in order to shift them from life of crime to a productive life

34] as it was set out for such transgressors by your Lord in His message.

35] That is how We get out of life of transgression and rebellion those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind.

36] That is how We find a community wherein no one lives without submitting to divine program, constitution and law.

37] And We have kept alive therein a lesson for those who will keep in their minds the life of painful suffering and will make efforts to keep it away.

38] There is another kind of lesson in story of Moses when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear proof,

39] but he turned his back to Our message along with his chiefs saying, he is either a conspirator or a man talking nonsense.

40] So in due course We found him and his supporters caught up in sea of results of their own actions, that is why he deserved much of the blame.

41] There is a reminder in story of Aad because We let loose against their chiefs a blighting wind of revolt

42] that uprooted everything rotten to the core.

43] Likewise there is a clear warning in story of Thamud when it was said to their chiefs, enjoy yourselves for a while

44] because they transgressed against program, constitution and law of their Lord and as a result they were overtaken by the thunderbolt of uprising the while they were looking on in a surprised way,

45] neither they could stand up against it ideologically nor could they fight against it physically.

46] And We let destroy themselves the chiefs of people of Noah before them because they opposed Our rule.

47] All that happened because it is We who have originated the universe through Our own capability and We are surely expanding it so it is through consistency with Our guidance mankind survive and do well.

48] Likewise We established the earth as a training ground for the human beings so go around in the universe and see how excellently We carried out all this work!

49] We have evolved everything into organised categories so that you the mankind could learn there from the lessons to do things likewise.

50] Say, rush therefore towards teaching of Allah, for that is clear proof for you that I am assigned the mission by Him as a plain warner to you all.

51] So do not set up any rule against the rule of Allah, surely I am assigned by Him as a duty to be a plain Warner to you all.

52] It has been the case that whenever a messenger came to a people before them, they said about him, He is a conspirator or a man who talks nonsense.

53] Is this the best legacy they could leave for their future generations? No, rather they could have done a lot better had they followed the heavenly advice but they were a rebellious people.

54] O Prophet therefore ignore the taunts of those who think not over your advice, for results of their transgressions against each other cannot be stopped by you on your own

55] so you should keep on educating them for their betterment, because guidance will benefit those of them will commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind.

56] That is because We have created the people who manage and people who are managed only for understanding, accepting and abiding by Our program, constitution and law for the benefit of each other.

57] We require no looking after by them nor do We ask that they do anything just to fulfil any of Our need,

These verses are of fundamental importance when it comes to understanding the real difference between DEEN of Allah and concepts invented by mullahs on behest of rulers and money lenders in form of baseless religious dogmas to entrap mankind in an unending circle of nonsense. Mullahs tell us Allah created JINN and INS for his worship. Worship to them means a concept practiced in form of rituals by Hindus, Parsis, Jews, Christians etc etc. It is all about asking for things of Allah all the time and praising Allah with words and with movements of body in a particular way.

This is not what these verses are telling us by use of wording nor it fits the wider context of this surah or even wider context of the Quran as a whole. By use of word IBAADAH Allah means something outside which one is not allowed to go. If word IBAADAH is taken as a worship ritual then that means Allah has not created man to do anything else but to keep worshiping Allah 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Doing anything other than that will count as sin because that will be time spent outside worship. This very clearly proves the point that taking Islam as a religion is therefore very wrong or false interpretation of the Quran. The Quran is full of stories about messengers of Allah and their people and in there we do not see anyone worshiping Allah this way. Instead there is a constant struggle going on between them and their opponents as to how to live their lives properly. So claiming the Quran is a religious holy is nothing less than lying about it for deceiving mankind. But why mullahs deceive mankind and particularly Muslims? It is because the way of life the Quran invites to does not suit people with ignorance based arrogance who rather compete and rise above others to dominate and control them to use and abuse them. Since the Quran stops people from doing that so these people found a way to derail the message of the Quran by making people focus on beating each other at the game. The result is the world full of atrocities by people against each other.

This is why all the Quranic interpretations based on religious concept of Islam are seriously wrong and oppose the very objective of the Quranic message. It is enough problem for a divine messenger to educate ignorant people and when people are led the wrong way the problem of educating people becomes much bigger and then adding to that more and more concepts that help confuse people expands problem to a much bigger level. For example, how many of us realise that for keeping people away from message of Allah mullahs have invented concept of miracles to make fool of ignorant people to keep them under their control through this trick because when people have been implanted wrong information about divine messengers in heads of masses then they become programmed to think that way and so they ask questions that they think are of importance instead of the right questions that fit the purpose. So when masses ask their God sent prophets for miracles and they tell them we are only here to deliver the message they take them as false prophets and that leaves them back in control of their rulers, so they keep using and abusing them. The Quran clearly tells us that each time a people asked a messenger of Allah for miracles he told them, I am only sent with a message to deliver and not to put on a magic show. The purpose of message is to help educate people out of their ignorance and once they are educated then they can see for themselves how the message proves its divine origin by fulfilling its purpose for revelation ie to guide humanity as to how it should live and what its goals should be and what are the guidelines according to which the set goals are to be achieved. So if anyone should ask any questions of divine messengers then they need to be of this nature, not about irrelevant things that have nothing to do with divine mission.

It is because the Quran sets goals and guidelines therefore human organisation and regulation becomes important and that is what is meant by word IBAADAH. This is why there is struggle in the world between mankind as to which way they should live their lives so that they could have the kind of lives they would love to live. This is why people who are busy worshiping graves of holy men are stupid and so are those who think holy men are those who sit and do nothing other than perform some nonsensical religious rituals in the name of God. The real test of humanity is its rising above animals by degrees. Animals do not worship each other do they? Do they bang their heads on the ground to please Allah? Instead they fulfil their purpose which is they are created for the benefit of mankind. It is because man is such a creature that is capable of benefiting of them to a much greater degree than any animal can benefit from another animal.

This is why religions are anti deen and that is how they need to be looked at. So long as people take harmful and destructive things as beneficial and constructive they can never get out of confusion and painful suffering. People must become aware of the tricks and mechanisms used by their users and abusers in form of politicians, money lenders and mullahs etc.

58] Because the fact is, it is Allah Who is sole provider of all sustenance for all, for He is the one with powers that cannot be undermined or overcome.

In these verses Allah makes it very clear that He does not need anything from people instead he gives them what they need so that they could create a blissful and dignified life for themselves in this vast universe. The magic of rulers, money lenders and mullahs etc needs to be understood if humanity wants to break free from their control and unless people learn things and do that there is no real struggle for freedom because the while humanity lives by way of life that itself is oppressive and suppressive they cannot have freedom from each other. How can anyone be free of one is used by rulers, money lenders and mullahs for their ends instead of realising goals for the good of humanity? Like a magician they draw peoples’ attention away from the trick and then do what they need to do to perform trick and people do not see the way they do their trick. Likewise mullahs draw people into religions and that leaves rulers free to do what they wish to do to people. This is why mullahs have created concept of charity because this way by contributing a little bit of what they make on backs of enslaved labour the rulers and money lenders could show off themselves as doers of good. This masks their harm and destruction they inflict on mankind through this set-up. If people were really good at heart then instead they will have adopted a way of life that will not have caused such a problem to begin with ie they will not have lived by a way of life that inflicts ignorance and poverty upon human race. This is how truth comes out and destroys falsehood as the Quran states. This is what makes the Quran dangerous for rulers, money lenders and mullahs if its message was not masked by mullahs and mullahs could not mask it unless gained something out of it by rulers and money lenders. This is why all these crooks work together to trap unsuspecting ignorance and simple minded masses.

59] So those who oppose Our program and installation of Our constitution and implementation of Our law thereby inflict harm and destruction on mankind are bound to receive their portion of painful suffering similar to the portion of their ideological predecessors, so it is better for them that they challenge no more Our set law of cause and effect in a negative way hurrying for their self destruction.

60] Or bad news is always there for those who oppose Our set goals and guidelines on the day of revolt against which they are being alerted!












Surah 52 AL-TOOR–The package as a program, constitution and law for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind

This surah is named AL-TOOR from root TAA, WOW and RAA. It has been explained already but for reminder it has various meanings eg mountain, a comprehensive package, mass, something of huge importance or is very heavy or weighty or massive, way or manner of life, an art or technique for doing something, program, constitution, anchor, something that stabilises something or gives something solid foundation, an umbrella or canopy that provides shelter from harm and destruction. In the Quranic context the most important thing is program, constitution and law because it gives humanity the solid foundation to base the society upon or provides it with a framework for a way of life that is fit for proper human community towards the stated ultimate goal etc etc.

According to The Quran Allah set an initial goal for mankind to create peace throughout the world. In order to do so mankind are given the Quran as a divine manifesto for purpose of peace in order to spread it throughout the world so that if people like the program in the Quran for creating unity and peace then they come together and form a community based upon the Quran as its constitution and regulate their community by laws based on it. It is made very clear for mankind that unless they follow the guidelines given in the Quran peace will be impossible to bring about so people will keep on suffering as they always have been by living any other way they adopt as individuals. People need to realise that they cannot live all alone as individuals and they cannot live together on basis of oppression and suppression, so they must agree on some goals and guidelines that give them reasonable individual freedom as well as reasonable community life so that people could live blissful and dignified lives. This is only possible on basis of brotherhood the Quranic package provides for the humanity. This is why it is of vital importance for mankind to educate themselves by helping each other in general and then learn the Quran also and follow it so that there could be brought about a proper human community or life will continue as it has been for centuries ie a life full of painful suffering that people inflict upon each other.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] We present this package to mankind for adopting it as their way of life

2] in form of a written book

3] as a manifesto for purpose of mass distribution

4] and as a constitution and law for structuring and organising a proper human community upon and regulating it,

5] and that way comprehensively securing its existence under that umbrella

6] for expanding like a surging ocean

7] otherwise your painful suffering by hands of each other will continue against which your Lord warned you

8] because there is no other way of life that could help you avert it

9] but ignoring the package of Allah continuously could bring the day when the whole world will be shaken up violently and woken up rudely

10] so much so that the powerful rulers, money lenders and mullahs will be running about in utter confusion.

11] That time period is a very bad news for all those leaders who deny Our set rights to masses

12] such as remain engaged in their harmful and destructive activities against mankind.

13] In that period of time they will be driven by their victims to the painful suffering violently

14] saying, this is the fire of hatred which you used to ignite by denying rights to others.

15] Was this warning of Allah a false one or were you not bothered with understand it?

16] This painful suffering is result of your that uncaring mindset, attitude and behaviour towards others so now put up with it, regardless you put up with it patiently or impatiently it is all the same for you, after all it is fruit of your own hard work.

17] Surely those who strive hard to be consistent with Our guidance and each other, they will end up in blissful kingdoms,

18] rejoicing at the outcome of their hard work due to granted program of their Lord to them, that is how their Lord will shield them from making their life hell.

19] They will be told by each other, participate in community properly on basis of proper knowledge so that you could do things properly.

20] This is how they will rise to stages of dignity due to being organised and regulated in groups properly this is why We will grant them community fellows that are equally free of blameworthy character who are highly intellectual and knowledgeable people.

21] So those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and those who support them from their children in their struggle for bringing about a peaceful, progressive and prosperous human community We will unite them and We will not deny them the fruit of their hard work at all, for each of the communities is entitled to fruits of its works.

22] That is how We will provide them with fruits of their labour as per their need and desire according to their hard works in form of a community network.

23] They will therefore pass on from person to person this wine of knowledge in order to safeguard themselves from going off this track on to wrong tracks.

24] So that there await for them their young children well prepared ready to take over from their elders the community responsibilities to continue the process smoothly.

25] This is why the elders should share with them their life experiences before they brought about this community

26] saying, when we were living among our kinfolk, we were troubled by many fears

27] but Allah has been gracious in bringing us together through His revelation that is how He has delivered us from environment of hatred and animosity.

28] We managed to do all this because we invited each other to His advised way of life according to His program, constitution and law. Surely His rule will when established will demonstrate that He is full of goodness and compassion for mankind.

29] So for bringing about such a good human society strive hard O messenger because you are bestowed with revelation by your Lord, not with nonsense from soothsayers nor are you mentally insane talking nonsense.

30] Do these chiefs tell their followers that he is just a person with antisocial agenda and we are waiting for his opposition to our society die away in due course?

31] Say to them, carry on then promoting your social order and I too will carry on promoting my social order and wait for the result to appear and decide the matter between us.

32] Is that all their minds can think about or is it that they have chosen to set themselves up actively against Our advice on a course to self destruction?

33] Are they saying this man has invented this Quran himself? No, not at all because it is for their benefit but they say it anyway because they do not want to commit to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind.

34] But even if they insist on their claim being true then let them produce a scripture like it that informs them about things they do not know including about themselves.

35] Did they pop in to existence out of nothing or were they brought in to existence by themselves?

36] Or is it they who created the heavens and the earth? No, they cannot tell for sure how all this came to be.

37] Do they have authority from your Creator and Sustainer to take ownership of provisions in to their possession or are they appointed managers over it?

38] Or do they have any ways and means for consulting Him about it? If they do then let them produce their proof for it.

39] Is it for Him to dictate basis for your existence or is it for you to set up rules as you like in His kingdom?

40] Do you O messenger ask them for any personal gains for educating them to a better way of life that they feel burdened by that so they cannot learn and follow it?

41] Or have they the capability to know the future for sure that they must follow their own self created programs being secure about their future?

42] Do they intend to devise a plot against Our set out package? In that case those who oppose Our rule will become trapped in their own plots.

43] Or do they truly have some other creator, sustainer and sovereign than Allah? No, not at all, for kingdom of Allah is free of rule by any other than Allah.

44] Yet they continue their stupidity even when they see the world falling apart into pieces due to their stupidity, for their excuse is, it is just a passing phase and once it is over they will be back in business as usual.

45] So let them live as they please till they face the time period they have been warned against, that is the time when they will lose their minds to fear and themselves to destruction.

46] The period of time when their plots and designs will avail them not and there will be none who could help them out of that situation.

47] Surely for such harmful and destructive people, there is yet another painful suffering to go through even though most of them realise it not.

48] Regardless of their negative reaction carry on steadfastly with your mission for installing the rule of your Creator and Sustainer because you are surely succeeding as We see it, so strive hard for establishing rule of your Lord to demonstrate glory of rule of your Lord for as long as you live,

49] particularly during the period of darkness of ignorance strive for it in such a way so that there come about people who prove to be luminaries for guidance of mankind towards establishing this rule.













Surah 53 AL-NAJM–The light of guidance for mankind to become united on basis of peace, progress and prosperity

This surah is named AL-NAJM from root NOON, JEEM and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is something that draws attention for some purpose. It also means a rising star, a plant without stalk that spreads and covers the ground, fixed term, a point of agreement, a converging and diverging point, a fixed period of time, a celebrity or guide, luminary, learned person, a statement or word, something that gives off light or reflects light or shines, astrology, to tell future, to predict or forecast, to show up or appear, to guide, to think out or plan some solution for some problem, to criticise, to point out defects or faults in something in some way etc etc.

This surah is named AL-NAJM because it talks about guidance from Allah and how prophet Muhammad received this message just like prophet Moses as explained in surah 20 TWAA HAA. It is also explained that a person has to be self aware and aware of the universe in which one lives and interacts with other things and rest of human population. Unless one becomes aware of things deeply and widely one cannot benefit from the program, constitution and law of Allah because one cannot realise the vital importance of it therefore one cannot study it and therefore cannot use it for the benefit of mankind. Many people have passed away and most of them ended up harming and destroying themselves because they paid no attention to guidance of Allah as they were supposed to. It were people in position of management of populations and resources, means of production and distribution who misled masses for personal benefits. At height of atrocities upheavals resulted and so people destroyed each other out revengeful reactions. The Quran puts forth program and tells people to adhere to it if you wish to reach the heights of blissful and dignified life by turning the world into a beautiful place. This surah warns against people who make trouble and explains their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours whereby it is possible to recognise such people in the community. The main thing that exposes them is their longing for personal gains at the expense of others. This surah also tells us about sovereignty of people over people through different ways and means or mechanisms eg through political, economic and religious ways and means or mechanisms. These people do not use whatever they have or can do without having in their minds some personal benefit out of it. They are not interested in proper human community this is why when people stand up to try and build a community network these people just go along because they want to avoid detection. They do not show natural happy response to community life. They rather live in isolation when it comes to fulfilling community duties and responsibilities but wish to be centre of attention when it comes to gaining things from the community. The surah itself is self explanatory so there is little need for any explanation.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] We present as evidence this guidance that when it is spread

Word HAWAA is from root HAA, WOW and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is atmosphere, environment, air, emptiness, void, altruistic motives, foolish person, temptation, seduction, something that has no importance or weight, desire, something that falls or causes something else to fall, to speed up, to swoop down, to incline, to fall in love, to enchant, a narrow opening between mountains, personal thoughts or desires or motives,

2] it will prove that your fellow human Muhammad strayed not, nor was he misguided

3] or attributes anything to Allah as His revelation that is result of his own thought process

4] rather this Quran is revealed to him as a revelation

5] which he is taught by the one whose grip on knowledge is ever strong,

6] the one with power has thereby perfected him

7] to the highest standard for mission of guidance of mankind.

8] For he approached information intellectually and rose to a level whereat he could benefit from Our revelation so we completed his circuit of information with the Quran.

9] like joining of two bows that make the circle complete,

10] and that is how Allah revealed to Muhammad the Quran that He wanted to reveal.

11] and that is why his mind did not contradict that about which he was given insight.

Although in these verses the Quran is talking about the messenger of Allah but any human being who can benefit from the divine guidance has to be in a similar frame of mind. If a person does not have mindset, attitude and behaviour needed for benefiting from divine guidance then it is highly unlikely such a person will receive any guidance or even bother to give it any attention. Unless you are in need of something you hardly pay attention to things.

12] Will you the mankind then fight with him over what he has learned and understood properly which you did not bother to learn and understand properly?

13] He saw Our guidance as an assurance for future of humanity

14] wherein lies growth and prosperity of people and which none should transgress

15] because therein lies blissful and dignifying kingdom for mankind.

16] At the time he received Our guidance, Our purpose for creation was surrounded in mystery for him

17] yet he remained focus and never gave up the effort in looking for guidance nor did he become disappointed after being made aware of it.

Guidance of Allah is not some kind of magic that it makes everything ok without need for people doing anything at all. Guidance only plays its part as a guidance and rest is up to people to give it due attention and benefit from it by using it as it ought to be used.

18] He did indeed come across some of major lessons of his Lord.

19] So have you O messenger seen in your lessons any authorisation for concept of (Al-Laat) the sovereignty of one human being over another human being, and (Al-Uzza) the sovereignty of priesthood over masses,

20] and about the third one (Manaat) the sovereignty of rich over the poor?

21] Is it proper in your view that some of you should have sovereignty by any such means over others and for the others to accept any such arrangement?

22] This indeed is an unfair division of power and wealth and so it should be removed!

23] These are nothing but concepts which you and your political, religious and wealthy leading people have invented for your own personal gains at the expense of concept of proper human community. Allah has not granted any such authority about such divisions of power. The opponents of Our revelation follow nothing but their self-created concepts due to harmful and destructive ambitions and desires of their own even though the proper guidance of Allah has already come to them from their Lord.

24] Or do you the mankind still think man should be left to his own devices based on his own harmful and destructive mindset, attitude and behaviour after seeing the results of his courses of actions?

25] No, not at all because to Allah alone belongs the right of issuing program, constitution and law for all things from the very first till the very last.

26] How many of a human population are there in high positions of power yet their participation and handling of people and things benefits none but that is not the case with a population that willingly follows the course of action according to the program, constitution and law of Allah, that is how Allah shows consistency of its course of actions.

27] Yet those who commit not to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind for better future assign administrative responsibilities for the management of the masses and resources to the people for name sake

28] because they do not have the proper information and understanding about their role to fulfil it. They just follow their chaotic thought based courses of actions and such courses of actions accomplish not what is consistent with Our set purpose and beneficial for humanity.

29] Therefore expect not well being of humanity of those who ignore Our advice and seek only personal gains base on their harmful and destructive ambitions and desires for living as low lives in this world.

30] This is the summing up of what they know of the available information and its understanding. Surely your Creator and Sustainer will make obvious for mankind in due course those who have strayed from His advised path as well as those who stayed upon it.

31] So be aware that to Allah alone belongs sovereignty over all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, so it is up to His set up systems and laws to deliver the outcome for actions of those who commit atrocities against others as well as to deliver the outcome of actions of those who do their best to help others overcome their deficiencies and lacks to bring balance in their lives and thereby beauty.

32] Such as avoid inflicting major harms on each other that could bring about their disintegration as a proper human community but instead support each other. For them program, constitution and law of your Lord is abundantly blissful and dignifying. He makes this abundantly evident for you since He nurtures you in to communities from the humble beginnings just like when you were embryos in wombs of your mothers. So delude and deceive not yourselves and your people through solutions for your problems based on make beliefs and useless rituals and damaging actions, because He makes obvious in due course through their actions and their outcomes such as fully support others for achieving His set goal.

33] So can you recognise the one who turns away from supporting His program, constitution and law?

34] It is because such a one gives very little support and even that grudgingly just for show to avoid detection.

35] Is his future obvious to him that he can see it secure needing no help of a proper human community?

36] Or did he not bother to find out what was told in the scrolls of Moses

37] and Abraham about proper human community each of whom fulfilled his set out tasks?

38] They were told in there, none should be burdened with duties and responsibilities of another,

39] because one should be delivered the result of what one does,

40] so one’s hard work should be properly monitored and recorded,

41] so that he could be rewarded for his hard work efficiently and sufficiently,

42] and that is why it is sole right of your Lord to set out ultimate goal for mankind and the guidelines for achieving it

43] whereby He grants prosperity to its proper followers and lets remain in a mess its opponents,

44] this is how He brings nations to life when they follow His advice or lets them perish when they do not.

45] Moreover it is He Who evolved people into two categories, the managers (administrators/parents) and the managed (communities/children),

46] from the very same origin since they started out,

47] and He took it upon Himself to guide them to develop to their full potential in time to come.

48] This is how He bestowed necessities and luxuries of life upon them to give them satisfying dignified peaceful life thereby,

49] That is how He bestows upon them intelligence and realisation through His revelation.

50] However He let destroy themselves the people of Aad for not using their intelligence to benefit from His revelation,

51] then the people of Thamud without any of them being spared,

52] and before them opponents of Noah who broke Our set limits and inflicted harm and destruction upon each other.

53] Likewise were destroyed the cities of Lot that were overwhelmed by their own atrocities against each other.

54] They were all overwhelmed by their self destructive ways of life.

55] So which of your Lord’s provisions will you deny to each other and yet survive similar destructions?

56] This warner is just like the warners of the people of the past.

57] The ever approaching day of upheaval is drawing near if you do not stop living in a harmful and destructive way.

58] None other than Allah could explain such things to you to save you from your self destruction and to give you life of peace and prosperity.

59] Do you still find this revelation strange after all this explanation

60] and take it for a joke instead of following it sincerely

61] and waste your time in doing useless things for solving your problems?

62] Therefore submit yourselves to program, constitution and law of Allah and carrying out its objectives faithfully.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Mughal]

Surah 54 AL-QAMAR–The way of life adopted by mankind for deceiving each other is to become replaced with the way of life that leads them to work for wellbeing of each other and trust in each other

This surah is named AL-QAMAR from root QAAF, MEEM and RAA. It means moon or moonlight or whiteness, greyness, full moon or full circle or target or face or beloved or nation or community or triumph or victory or goal or front etc. Word moon is used in many different contexts to express various things. Some pleasant thing or event that uplifts mood. Something that happens or is made to happen for all to see for what it is ie to expose good or bad idea or event or character or person or thing. To marry a woman, to hunt, to win, to stake, to overwhelm, to be mad, to deceive, to gamble, to bring separate things together in some way to serve some purpose. Something that completes its cycle and is ready to start a new cycle ie ending one thing to start another. Something that all of a sudden appears before people by which they are taken by surprise. The work done during the period of darkness or under the cover of darkness or during the night time in moonlight etc. The full moon was symbol of Arabs as a people before Islam and also moon was worshipped as a goddess etc etc.

This Surah is named AL-QAMAR because it is continuation of the last surah ie carrying through the same idea. The idea that if people do not live by guidance of Allah then things go wrong for people and ultimately reach point of self destruction unless people pull themselves back from brink of destruction through educating themselves and others and readjusting their course of action. This Surah is therefore warning that since events are continuing as they have been and more and more people are becoming disorientated with the existing way of life therefore a radical change is about to occur that can change the political, economic and religious landscape in the world.

It is very important for people to realise that the Quran is talking about two kinds of blissful kingdoms a) those that came about as a result of divine intervention ie when Allah sent his messengers with books and they established kingdoms according to books they were given. These kingdoms soon disappeared after their deaths because their followers could not keep up with the hard work that was needed because humanity had not yet developed to that degree. So those kingdoms were just models for later people to come so that at no time people could say, such kingdoms did not exist or could never come about again. B) the ultimate divine kingdom that will come about that will stay there forever because humanity by then would have learned enough through experiences of generations to become fully conscious of self reliance and social responsibilities and rights of each other. So conscious that one will not dare wrong another person and will do one’s best to ensure any other person is doing fine. This is why Allah ended sending messengers so that from now people learn to educate each other instead of waiting for divine intervention by means of prophet-hood and revelation. This is why there is no more book like the Quran from Allah anymore nor any messenger after Muhammad who brought mankind the Quran and established final divine kingdom. So it is now entirely up to people who claim to follow the Quran to bring about the divine kingdom by working hard for it just like the last prophet. How soon can these people do that depends on how many are working for it and how hard and how good is their planning about it and how good is their execution of the plan. All this needs proper understanding of the Quran to begin with and only then spreading the right message in a right way can help do that.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] The time for upheavals and establishment of blissful and dignifying kingdom is fast approaching so that deceptive way of life could be uprooted.

2] Yet when the opponents of Our advised way of life see any clear evidence about it they turn their backs on it instead of learning lessons from it because their chiefs and priests give them make belief based excuses saying, this is an ingenious trick to deceive you.

3] That is how political, economic and religious chiefs deny benefits of Our guidance to their masses and keep on following their own harmful and destructive ambitions and desires but each way of life or mechanism they adopt has a set time to pass away.

4] There has already come to them the information about past generations of nations containing enough warnings

5] and profound wisdom as to how to live or how not to live but warnings are rarely taken seriously by people in positions of power such as current leadership.

6] O messenger therefore leave these chiefs to their own devices as they wish. The day when the terrible event will call upon them it will be a calling towards a terrible state of affairs,

7] Masses will rush out of their dwellings like swarming locusts, agitated and overwhelmed with their living problems,

8] chiefs will rush out due to terrible commotion to find out what has happened and these very opponents of Our rule will cry, this is indeed an awful day!

9] Long before them the chiefs of people of Noah denied benefits of Our program, constitution and law to their followers and opposed him. They rejected proposals by Our messenger calling him insane and ostracised him,

10] but he relied upon set-up systems and laws of his Creator and Sustainer saying, concern for problems of my people has overtaken me so help me!

11] So We opened the opportunities for him through Our instructions like pouring rain

12] whereby We flooded the land with prosperity like gushing springs and that is how we watered down the ambitions of harmful and destructive people through Our decreed end goal for them.

13] This is how We armed him with set of revelations to bring people together to help them move forward,

14] so the team journeyed living on under Our advised rule and care, a reward for group of a people that was ostracised and driven out.

15] Behold! We have kept that story as a lesson for mankind, so are there any people who would act on this advice?

16] And see for themselves how effective is Our program, constitution and law in saving people from their total self destruction due to Our alerting and guiding them in advance?

17] Behold! We have indeed made the message of the Quran easy for understanding but is there a nation that would act on this advice?

18] And like chiefs of Noah denied Our set rights to others the chiefs of people of Aad so how effective was Our program, constitution and law in saving people from their total self destruction due to Our alerting and guiding them in advance?

19] We let loose against them a storm for revolutionary change on the day of their bitter misfortune,

20] which snatched of them their power leaving them like trunks of uprooted palm-trees.

21] So how effective was Our program, constitution and law in saving people from their total self destruction due to Our alerting and guiding them in advance?

22] We have indeed made the message of the Quran easy for understanding, so are there any people who would act on Our advice?

23] The chiefs of people of Thamud denied Our set rights to others in contravention of Our program, constitution and law proposed by Our messenger

24] saying, are we to follow a mere mortal who has no support among us? That would surely be a wrong thing to do and utter foolishness on our behalf.

25] Was he the only person among us fit enough to receive this program, constitution and law from Allah? No way! He is indeed a trouble making liar.

26] So We said to Our messenger, worry not soon in due course they are going to find out who is really a trouble making insolent liar.

27] We are about to start the program for raising awareness among the masses for implementing Our law that balances things properly. So be ready to work hard on them for their benefit and remain steadfast and consistent.

28] So begin by telling them, the rule of law must be just and fair and same for all of them and each person must follow the law faithfully.

29] At last people of Thamud assigned one of themselves with their leadership, who took on the responsibility and implemented Our program, constitution and law in the land.

30] So how effective was Our program, constitution and law in saving people from their total self destruction due to Our alerting and guiding them in advance?

31] We let loose against the chiefs just one mighty blast for change by way of revolution by masses and the chiefs became like the trampled twigs having no more influence or power over others.

32] We have indeed made the message of the Quran very easy for understanding, so are there any people who would act on the advice?

33] Yet another example is that of the chiefs of the people of Lot who denied masses their rights as set by Us despite Our warning.

34] So We let loose against them a stone throwing mob who attacked them sparing none save people of Lot whom We saved before the start of the upheaval

35] through Our revelation. That is how We reward those who support and carry out Our mission.

36] Lot did warn them about Our message regarding revolt but they ignored his warnings as nonsense.

37] They were so low on respect for rights of each other that they would not spare even his guests from their troubles so We let them remain ignorant of light of guidance as they wished saying, be ready to face the consequences of ignoring My warning.

38] At daybreak they were overtaken by an attack that became inevitable

39] so we said, taste now the painful consequences of ignoring My warning.

40] We have indeed made the message of the Quran very easy for understanding, so are there any people who would act on Our advice?

41] Our warners also came to chiefs of people of Pharaoh.

42] They too ignored all of Our goals and guidelines and as a result of that We found them caught up in a mighty revolt.

43] So, is your opposition to Our rule stronger than your past like minded friends or have you been granted exemption in Our plan from Our law of consequences?

44] Do they boast that altogether we are a great number of people so we can fight off implementation of this program, constitution and law?

45] Soon will their multitudes be uprooted and put to flight.

46] No, you cannot fight off implementation of this program, constitution and law! The starting time for revolt is a set time. That time will be the most grievous and bitter for the opponents of Our rule

47] yet the criminals who rule others persist in wrong course of action due to their desire for remaining dominant due to being arrogant through ignorance.

48] At the time of revolt when they will be dragged by their victims into the painful suffering with their faces casted down in shame they will be told, feel the touch of pain and suffering.

49] Surely We have created everything for a set purpose and in a proper measure.

50] We initiate any process only once and Our whole program fulfils as smoothly and quickly as the mechanism involved in twinkling of an eye.

51] O you the chiefs who oppose Our rule now, We already let destroy themselves many chiefs and their supporters before you then will you still not install Our program, constitution and law and act upon it to save yourselves and prosper?

52] The simple fact is, all that people do against each other is a matter of historical record.

53] Each and every event, minor and major is obvious for all to see and learn from.

54] Surely those who will be consistent with each other according to Our guidance will land in blissful and dignifying kingdoms with abundance of things flowing like rivers,

55] a place wherein people are truly honoured by each other due to living by program, constitution and law of Allah, the sole mighty ruler of this whole kingdom.
















Surah 55 AL-RAHMAAN–The provider of blissful and dignifying program for mankind in form of the Quran.

This surah is names AL-RAHMAAN from root RAA, HAA and MEEM. This root has been explained already but for reminder it means the one who provides sustenance to keep something growing and developing by fulfilling its needs till it has reached its set destination. This root holds out the concept of womb wherein a baby receives all it needs to grow from its conception till birth. Universe too is like a womb for mankind because it is full of things mankind need for their survival and growth including food for thought.

This surah is named AL-RAHMAAN because it talks about plan of Allah for mankind and the necessary provisions and how people ought to manage human population and resources to grow and develop into a people that reflect greatness of their creator’s creativity. Since this surah is all about provisions and their proper use by mankind yet people use and abuse each other therefore a particular question is repeated for mankind to reflect upon the situation they have created for themselves. Allah has created everything for everything and mankind are told to manage things in such a way that it helps mankind grow and prosper. However mankind use and abuse each other by denying each other right to things by withholding things from each other. This is not just denying each other the livelihood but also a matter of ignoring the revelation and lessons taught by the creator and sustainer. So it is a matter of being inconsistent with guidance of Allah as well as being inconsistent with each other and the consequences are what we see with our own eyes. A world that is turned into hell by some nasty people among human beings.

In this surah Allah is putting before people his program and asking which of his statements are false or can be opposed successfully by mankind to prevent fulfilment of divine plan. In a way a very powerful and a very challenging surah for those who deny existence of Allah or his revelation therefore refuse to live by way of life told by the Quran. People are told that if they think that they are the power in themselves then they should be able to avoid consequences of their harmful and destructive actions but they cannot. It is not that consequences of actions cannot be avoided but only by going about things the way the Quran explains. So there is a way to avoid a lot of harm and destruction if people chose to live that way. People cannot stop each other from doing wrong things by force but only through convincing information that makes proper sense. This is why Allah revealed the Quran. However most of the mankind never read the Quran for understanding its message properly for the time being so world is not going to change drastically at the moment. It takes decades to educate a generation of people and also it takes a lot of educated and dedicated people that are not yet there. However literacy rate is on the increase as life becomes more and more difficult for illiterate and ignorant people. If people really want a better world then they have no choice but to help each other through education. It is important in that case that illiterate and ignorant put real good effort in learning and those who can teach must do the same. Leaving people as they are is a sure way to keep the world in state that it is in.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] The provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind

2] has taught you the messenger this Quran.

3] He evolved mankind

4] and taught man how to communicate with his Creator and things in the universe.

5] The sun and the moon work according to His program,

6] the stars in the cosmic space and the trees in the earth submit to His laws in every way.

7] That is how He gave rise to the universe by setting-up everything in a proper balance,

8] so that by observing and learning from all that you the mankind also never transgress Our properly set-up limits.

9] Therefore establish the proper balance among yourselves regarding rights and responsibilities and never inflict loss or damage on each other.

10] As for the earth We originated it with capability for bringing about all the living things with provisions for all the creatures,

Although Allah has created this earth with capabilities as told but mankind are also told that by observing and learning from natural world people too can manipulate universe to make it into something that works for them. The earth is just the beginning and a training ground for mankind to prepare themselves to expand their hold on the rest of the universe. However to do that mankind will have to use their whole manpower and provided resources properly so that they overcome obstacles in their way. The universal hold of mankind needs people with brains and bodies that help people do that. To begin with people need to become intelligent enough to learn to live with each other as a united human family here on the earth. Only when people have learned enough that they will be able to use their manpower and available resources properly because to do that man has to become a responsibility conscious creature so that each and every human being receives one’s rights smoothly. That is because till people do not become responsibility conscious towards each other they cannot unite and work together or can see the bigger picture the Quran is trying to show them. In other words short sighted people are incapable of taking care of things they do not even realise. This is why people who love to live on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other are ignorant fools and such people cannot create unity among mankind due to their vested interests which make them use and abuse others. An example of this kind of human society is the fact that leaderships in countries use each other as enemies in order to bring unity within their own countries ie the idea of external enemy or threat. However the truth is people do not really need to unite on baseless and dangerous grounds when Allah is giving them a real goal to unite for and work hard for. A goal that can only lead mankind from strength to strength. This is why Quranic way of life is a unique idea provided people learn and make themselves capable of understanding the Quran in its proper context.

11] wherein is fruit and date-palms having sheathed clusters,

12] and grain with husk and scented herbs.

13] So which of these facts told by your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

Word ALAAIE is from roots AILF, LAAM and WOW also ALIF, LAAM and YAA as well as ALIF, LAAM and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is statement of facts. Other meanings include oath, shortcoming, favour, blessings, swear, shine, lightening, sharpening, yearning, family ties, pledge, covenant, agitation, to flag, to remiss, to vow, to fall short of doing what is required etc etc.

This verse has various parallel meanings depending upon which context one uses at each point that suits the text most. For example, it could be taken in sense of denial of rights to divine provisions to some people by others.

Overall these verses very clearly tell mankind their origin and purpose and what is meant by Quran based way of life. The Quran negates ownership of anything by anything or anyone other than Allah as the creator and sustainers of all things. However, mankind is given the role of management of people and resources on the basis of program, constitution and law of Allah. Therefore so long as mankind use things appropriately as told they are fine but if they will misuse and abuse them then they are told the consequences could be very serious. So serious that mankind could turn this world into a living hell for themselves. This means people must make a lot of effort and work very hard constantly and consistently to remain in harmony with universal realities for their own good or they will lose grip with realities of this world and fall behind and therefore in severe painful suffering.

14] He began origin of mankind with formation of a living cell with components extracted from the clay as liquid having potential to bring about human beings, developing it stage by stage and species by species as tree of life till came about the human species and formed the human character like clay is moulded into a shape,

15] that is how He brought about all species of creatures before mankind many of which have become extinct since then because they were brought about while the earth was still hot because they could only survive in that kind of environment.

In these verses along with other verses in the Quran people are told that Allah created all living things from tree of life including mankind. It involves a process for creation that continues once it was initiated. Things come about and fulfil their purpose and die away, likewise people too have been created for serving purpose of Allah and for that reason mankind will continue living for as long as it is will or plan or program of Allah. Another way to look at these verses is that Allah moulded some of mankind into proper human beings through his guidance because of their acceptance of it and their acting upon it and he let others die their own death because they refused to pay attention to divine guidance and they adopted the ways of life that set them up against each other so they ended up destroying each other out of their hot headedness against each other. All because they denied rights of livelihood to each other. This is why these people are asked, which of the divine rights to divine provisions will you deny each other and carry on destroying each other in doing so. It is because some end up dead due to hunger and others react and wars take place and so things end up ugly for mankind as a whole.

16] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer will you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject and oppose?

17] He is the sustainer Who brought about four seasons in both the hemispheres.

This verse could be taken in various ways including risings and falls of nations or the extend of divine jurisdiction in the universe. Both roots for words MASHRIQAIN and MAGHRIBAIN have ample meanings.

18] So which of these statements of your Creator and Sustainer will you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject and oppose?

19] He has made the two bodies of the water that come together

20] yet between them is a barrier which they cannot transgress.

There is fresh water and salty water that gathers as a result of all water flowing back into sea after rain. The evaporation process does not let all water become salty.

21] So which of these truths from your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

22] He produces pearls and coral from both of them.

23] So which of these provisions of your Creator and Sustainer do you the destructive leaders and followers have right to deny each other?

24] To Him belong the ships looming up like mountains on the sea.

25] So which of these favours of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers rightfully deny each other?

26] All that is brought into existence is constantly made to go through changes by set-up systems and laws

27] so that purpose of your Majestic Creator and Sustainer is fulfilled.

28] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

29] All that are in the heavens and the earth depend upon Him for fulfilments of their needs, His set-up systems and laws are constantly at work helping things grow and prosper that are in step with them and eliminate things that fail to do that.

This verse like many other verses in the Quran is explaining how the universe is set-up to work so things that fit the set-up come about and remain in existence for as long as they remain fit for the purpose. A clear proof that mankind are created for constant struggle to achieve the set out goals according to set out guidelines. Nothing can exist or survive against this set-up of the universe. So rulers, money lenders and mullahs are challenged that if their invented ways of life are good enough then why they are constantly faced with upheavals and wars among themselves? Is there any way of life they can come up with which is better than the one told about in the Quran whereby they can escape this situation?

30] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers really deny as falsehood and oppose successfully?

In a way the Quran is constantly challenging mankind to find anything stated in the Quran that could be proven false because it is out of step with realities of real world.

31] Soon We will settle your affair, O you the destructive leaders and the destructive followers.

These leaders are rulers, money lenders and priests and those who suck up to them who put in place falsehood in form of social, political, economic and religious systems and thereby manipulate mankind and use and abuse them. The end result of which is unending troubles throughout the world.

32] So which of these facts told by your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers deny as falsehood and oppose successfully?

33] So O you the societies of destructive leaders and destructive followers, if you can then escape Our set-up systems and laws in the heavens and the earth but the truth is, you cannot escape consequences of your actions nonetheless you can secure your future by accepting Our sovereignty and following Our program, constitution and law.

34] So which of the goals and guidelines of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers deny as falsehood and oppose successfully?

35] If you therefore fail to follow Our advice and continue on the path you are on then flames of fire of hatred and choking animosities among yourselves will be the result for you in due course when the upheavals in reaction take place and at that time you will not be able to help yourselves escape the situation.

36] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers deny as falsehood and oppose successfully?

37] Because then the universal revolt will burst forth like a sea full of fire.

38] So which of these terms and conditions for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind revealed by your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers really afford to deny as falsehood and oppose successfully?

39] At that time neither group of destructive leaders nor of destructive followers will need to be asked about its crimes against Our rule and each other and wider humanity.

40] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers really deny as falsehood and oppose successfully?

41] Because the criminals will be recognised through clues on their faces and they will be caught due to their destructive plots and steps against others.

42] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

43] This is what will be told to the gathered masses about criminals, this is the hell of their own making against which they were warned but the criminals denied it could happen to them.

44] The warning will become true because the criminals will repeatedly deliver hateful speeches so the perpetrators of all this fire of hatred and jealousy will end up in the middle of the sea of fire of hatred they create.

45] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

46] On the contrary those who will get involved in establishing themselves on the foundation provided by their Creator and Sustainer, they will end up in complementary blissful kingdoms.

By working towards the divine set goal, people will ease their unnecessary stresses, strains and anxieties or worries as well as end up making double the progress towards prosperity. In these verses the Quran is talking about proper human communities that will come about if people decided to work towards that end. However people who can bring about such communities have to be highly knowledgeable and highly skilled because such societies need such knowledge and such skills to be build. This is why Quran is not a book that is for mullahs and religion. A way of life that is proper or fit for humanity take a lot more hard work to bring about than sitting on a mountain top and shouting Allah is great 24 hours a day. Words are empty and useless if they are not for acting upon to produce some end product. The Quran can only be proven useful if it has a program worth following for mankind that first and foremost takes care of their daily needs.

47] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

48] Such people will be owners of great skills whereby they will make progress and prosper.

49] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

50] Wherein will be fountains of knowledge and livelihood constantly flowing.

51] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

52] Therein will result total outcome due to their cooperation based hard work.

53] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

54] Because they will base themselves upon a solid foundation of goals and guidelines as a proper human community therefore their minds will be well connected and full of creative ideas and designs like rich brocade therefore the fruits of their self created blissful worlds will be well within their easy reach.

55] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

56] Because in them will be ability to keep their eyes firmly focused on the goals and guidelines so they will neither use and abuse others nor others will be able to use and abuse them from within or from the outside.

57] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

58] So beautifully they will fit-in with each other and get on with each other as rubies and corals are appropriately placed in a necklace.

59] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

60] Could the outcome for actions of those who work hard to make world beautiful for each other be anything other than a beautiful world for them all?

61] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

62] And besides these people there is another party that will also enter the complementary blissful kingdoms.

This verse seems to point to another time and another people instead of the people in the time of the messenger. It seems to point to full implementation of Quranic program on whole of the earth and beyond. The Quranic kingdom that was brought about by the prophet and his companions was only an example but the real Quran based kingdom is yet to come, which will be permanent. It will come when people in the whole world are ready for it ie they will have educated themselves sufficiently that as soon as the proper Quranic program is introduced it will be accepted by them and all efforts from then on will be for implementing it completely for good unlike divine kingdoms that were always established by the divine messengers here and there for a short time within a limited community population.

63] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

64] The people who will spearhead Our mission.

65] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

66] Within complementary kingdoms there will be complementary gushing springs of knowledge and livelihood for their dwellers.

67] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

68] Each planted with fruit trees, dates and pomegranates.

69] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

70] In each of them there will be people who will work hard to make things better thereby they will make the world a beautiful place for each other.

71] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

72] People who will live in world full of knowledge and things of need and want.

73] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

74] People who will not be misled by those before them nor will they mislead those who will come after them.

75] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

76] Because they will stand firmly upon foundation of proper goals and guidelines as a proper human community that is well connected like a beautiful woven fine canvas.

77] So which of these revelations of your Creator and Sustainer can you the harmful and destructive leaders and followers reject as falsehood and oppose successfully?

78] Such firmly founded and blissful is program, constitution and law that is granted to you the mankind in the name of your Creator and Sustainer to Whom belongs power to honour mankind.
















Surah 56 AL-WAAQIAH–The bringing about of blissful and dignifying kingdom for mankind

This surah is named AL-WAAQIAH from root WOW, QAAF and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is something that takes place or is made to happen. Other meanings include a situation, a happen or an event, story of an event, calamity, war, position, station, embrace, collide with, battle, a place where something happens, to fall, to befall, to alight upon , to guess, to come face to face with, to gossip, to expect, to guess, to collapse, to fall sporadically, to be confirmed, to become established, to incite, to bring about something or make something happen etc etc.

This surah is named AL-WAAQIAH because it is talking about some event that is bound to happen ie it is talking about coming of time period of upheavals or revolution, or coming about of divine kingdom. Bringing about of a divine kingdom is set goal but whether it comes about through spread of message and its acceptance or people have their own way first before reaching the same conclusion is what needs to be thought about. As people have been adopting various ways of life instead of the way of life in divine scriptures and have been suffering the consequences so it looks as if humanity has a long way to go yet before it learns its lesson finally and turns to Quranic way of life. No matter what coming about of blissful and dignifying kingdom is inevitable. It is because universal set-up is geared towards this end. What does that mean? It means that human interaction is such that each time people with opposing interests clash a change no matter how small is bound to happen that is mutually beneficial for mankind. No doubt this way things will take very, very long time to reach the same conclusion as the people with knowledge. It is very easy to make a table when someone teaches you, how to do it but takes ages if one has to do it all by oneself. Human knowledge that comes from human experience alone took its time but today what has been learned so far over the thousands of generations could be passed onto new generations within a few decades of life by knowledgeable people teaching new generations. It is because discovering things the very first time takes ages but once they have been discovered they could be passed on very quickly. Likewise if people sit down and learn the Quran then they can see what it teaches and then could follow it right away but if they ignore it then they will still reach same conclusion through their own personal discoveries but it will take them many generations to discover things that need to be discovered to realise how important it is for humanity to bring about a blissful and dignifying kingdom. Nothing will happen without people doing it but how they go about doing it will decide how long it will take them to do it. In this case there are three possibilities a)through learning and teaching the Quran b)through learning and teaching the Quran a bit and a bit relying on personal discoveries and c)through personal discoveries alone. It is like building a house in days or within life time or within so many generations. This is why the project the Quran talks about cannot be predicted and that is why when opponents of the message seek an answer when this will happen the Quran tells them when the set conditions are met the event based on those conditions will take place. In this surah also the Quran gives reasons as to why people must accept the Quran and follow it. It is all about politics and economics ie people are told to enable themselves to manage human population and resources properly with help of the Quran.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,

1] When the blissful and dignifying kingdom comes about, because it will be brought about

2] and it cannot be stopped from coming about.

3] It will uproot harmful and destructive way of life and install proper way of life

4] that is how the uneven landscape of human world will be evened out in due course

5] because the heavy weights of the human world will end up losing their power and influence

6] and become dislodged and disorientated like dust blown away and scattered by the wind.

7] However before all this happens you the mankind will be in three groups.

8] As for those who will come aboard Our program, constitution and law, what a great life this will bring to those who will come aboard Our guidance!

9] As for those who will oppose Our program, constitution and law, what a terrible life this will bring to those against Our guidance!

10] As for those who will come aboard Our mission earlier they will be the ones who will spearhead the campaign for the mission.

11] They will faithfully stick to Our goals and guidelines

12] for bringing about the blissful and dignifying kingdoms in the world.

13] A party of them will struggle earlier for the progress and prosperity of mankind.

14] And likewise a party of them will struggle later for progress and prosperity of mankind.

15] They will be founded on platform of goals and guidelines of dignity as jewels in a necklace

16] sharing mutual dignity.

17] And their ever lively and dependable young people will be going about their business happily serving their proper human community

18] with bundles of livelihood as per their needs due to pleasant intakes in sessions from the flowing rivers of information and understanding as shining beakers and cups of pure wine of revealed knowledge,

19] that will neither let them feel hardship nor fed up with sense of responsibility due to inspired motivation like a pleasant drink that neither pains the heads of drinkers nor takes away their senses.

20] They will have fruits of their own hard works,

21] the ultimate delicacies of life

22] and loving and intelligent fellow settlers of the kingdoms with great vision

23] like valuable pearls well guarded and kept far away from corruption

24] as a reward of their own hard works that they would have done.

25] Therein these people will not hear any harmful talk nor destructive words against each other

26] but only the reassuring words by one to other, I want to ensure peaceful existence for you and the other replying, I too want to ensure peaceful existence for you also.

27] Such will be the people who will come aboard Our program, constitution and law, what a happy people will be those who will come aboard Our guidance!

28] They will be part of trouble free human communities,

29] like clusters of fruits like bananas,

30] with extended thick protecting shades,

31] and with livelihood constantly flowing like water,

32] and abundant fruits

33] of uninterrupted never ending supply,

34] for as long as they will continue living a blissful and dignified life.

35] It will be as if We have given these communities a new lease of life

36] by making them capable of performing unparalleled hard works

37] by bringing out of them their hidden potentials

38] for those on board Our set goals and guidelines.

39] A party of them will struggle earlier for progress and prosperity of mankind.

40] And a party of them will struggle later for progress and prosperity of mankind.

In these verses the Quran leaves mankind in no doubt that ignorant people with arrogance who refuse to learn have no future and that people who have learned a lot of information and have learned to make proper sense of it will ultimately succeed in bringing about major changes in the world at least twice. This means first time change will be temporary but change brought about the second time will be permanent. It is because the second time mankind as a whole will have learned a lot so they will become fully aware of what happens when some of the people lack knowledge in the human community so they will ensure that educational institution are properly build and looked after and that people are fully aware of their responsibilities to each other and about right of each other. It seems the kingdom brought about at the time of the prophet was just a small example for the world to follow and world had not yet learned to understand things so the kingdom that was brought about by the prophet did not last very long. Even though the final messenger made sure people got the message from Allah but its proper understanding was not possible for people at the time because they did not prepare themselves for it. It is one thing for a person to be given a book but another to prepare himself to be able to read and understand it. As explained already, Allah created mankind with brains and bodies fully able to learn all by themselves to the degree that they become self aware and aware of their universe and that should give them enough life experience to then concentrate on understanding the message of Allah. If they do not then whatever happens to them as human populations in consequence they are responsible for it. If one can understand something then that makes is possible for others to do the same. However most people avoid working hard for getting things done that need to be done that is why the world is the way it is. Most people are not bothered with knowing about what is happening out there and why and those who do, most of them do so as far as they are forced by their circumstance and very few are bothered with wider thoughts and bigger picture.

The Quran is all about bigger picture in which humanity is showing little interest, which is obvious from what humanity is doing to educate its population. People are not building as many schools, colleges and universities as many are needed for human population. It is not that they cannot build them but because they do not want to build them. If all people decide on working hard for free just for the good of humanity, what is it that they cannot accomplish and within a short period of time? This is the Quranic way of life that people are not trying to understand. It is because dominant people in human societies have taken humanity in the direction that suits them. This is why humanity has become slave to some of its stupid members. That is why they need to be removed from positions of power because they are deliberately putting humanity on path of ignorance and stupidity so that they keep getting the animals they need for their slave labour. This is why clash between Quranic way of life and any other way of life adopted by mankind is inevitable and the Quranic way of life is bound to succeed in the end. This is what this surah is about.

41] As for those on the opposite side of Our program, constitution and law, what a terrible life will engulf people on the opposite side of Our guidance!

42] They will be in the middle of scorching winds of make beliefs and in hot water of hatred due to cruelty through oppression and suppression by each other

The Quran inspires and motivates people in a particular direction which is good for humanity but people who set themselves up against the Quranic way of life produce such ideological material which is very damaging for humanity because it inspires hatred and motivates people to act destructively towards each other. Words scorching wind and boiling water stand for spreading of material that can damage and destroy humanity. Water can give life to things but it can also damage them depending on its temperature and use. People can drown each other in water or throw each other in boiling water and cook each other. Drinking hot or boiling water is all about taking the bate and spreading destruction ie by listening to hateful lectures people can become influenced and cause havoc just like good lectures can inspire people to act for the good of humanity. So people who will oppose the way of life told in the Quran will always end up in terrible disputes and wars due to basing their lives on personal interests and gains at the expense of each other because that cannot lead to anything other than divisions based on rivalries and animosities and hatred leading to wars between people. Each person in that kind of living is forced to survive at the expense of all others. This is why Quran uses phrases like scorching winds ie hot exchanges of words and hatred spreading speeches and lectures to cause fights and wars for gains between people. A fatal slap on the face of religion and secularism by the Quran. This is why people conspire against each other to take undue advantage of each other for personal gains in one form or another at the expense of proper human community spirit inspired by the Quran. This is why such societies can never become open and transparent societies because how can then people deceive each other to take undue advantage of each other? The Quran wants people to be consistent with it and with each other and that is why if any people want open and transparent human communities then Quran is the leader and anything against it is misleading therefore very harmful and destructive for humanity. When people fall below human dignity due to their stupidity then they can only live by hiding themselves from rest of mankind and even could end up committing suicide.

43] living in the shade of sorrow like a pitch-black cloud of smoke due to inflicting harm and destruction upon each other,

44] which neither leads to life of dignity nor of refreshing comfort.

45] All this will happen because by adopting this way of living people in high places live in comfort at expense of others before all of them end up in this state.

The sole reason some people want to fight against message of Allah is because they want to dominate others by undermining them so that thereby they could use and abuse them for their personal gains. However, when tipping point is reached things turn very ugly for them and history is witness to this fact. When some people treat others as less than human beings then time is going to come when used and abused people get fed up and so the victims go on rampage for revenge. This agitation succeeds because power never concentrates in any single hand ever so power struggles between powerful nations and people give their victims chances to join those who support them and attack those who have been victimising them. History is therefore full of bloody revolutions. The Quran wants to educate people out of this cycle of violence and destruction but people hardly listen so they instead turn to their own devices.

46] They persist in heinous crimes against each other despite being warned about the consequences of doing so

47] and say, are we really going to end up destroyed and stripped off of our possessions and left bare to the bones? How can anyone make anything like this to happen to us or push us aside like this?

48] And is this really what happened to our forefathers also?

49] Tell them, surely it happened to all those of old and it will happen to all those of present age and will continue to happen always because of set-up systems and laws of Allah that are constantly at work in the universe.

50] This is why you people will also be brought face to face at an appointed time so you too will come to know the truth on the day made known to you.

51] Then, O you the people based upon harmful and destructive ways of life whereby you deny others access to Our provisions

52] you yourselves will end up eating the fruit of your self-planted terrible tree of hatred and wars,

53] and fill your bellies with it

54] due to drinking the scalding water, it will be water of hatred

55] but you will drink it like thirsty camels.

56] This is how their state of existence will manifest itself on the day when they will be taken to task by those whom they would have treated terribly.

These verses are explaining interaction between people and the reasons for it as well as the outcome. All this is inevitable if people do not stop living the way they are and change their ways and work for bringing about the kingdom advised by Allah.

57] We have surely created you and guided you, will you therefore not fulfil Our purpose for your creation faithfully?

58] Have you bothered observing the human sperm to learn lessons from it?

59] Is it you who create it or are We the Creator of it?

60] It is We Who have set-up systems and laws to bring about your fall as nations if you fail to meet Our standard because there is nothing that could hold back Our plan from being fulfilled

61] even if by replacing you by others of your own new generations or by transforming you into something you have no idea about just as yet.

62] You already know well your first rise as a proper human community, why then do you not learn lessons from that by reflecting on that?

Here Allah is referring to story of prophet Adam, the very first chief administrator and his people. How people became fed up with bloodshed and decided to form a proper human community to end bloodshed but even after that some conspired against the divine kingdom and brought it down bt Aadam managed to recreate it but after him it was lost again by later generations of people. Ever since things have been turning ugly and have been rescued and went wrong again and again. The very same carries on even today till humanity is rescued a final time. After humanity is rescued this final time it will never return to old ways ever again because it willhave learned its lesson and will continue educating its future generations without fail.

63] Have you observed and learned lessons from the seed that you sow in the ground?

64] Is it you who cause it to grow into a plant or is it Our set-up systems and laws that cause it to grow?

65] If it serves Our plan, We let it crumble into chaff and you are then left crying

66] that we are indeed left without anything,

67] therefore surely we have been deprived of the fruit of our labour!

People only think about their own work and do not think about provisions of Allah whereby he claims right to be listened to. After all sowing the seed is only part of the process and not the whole process that is handled by set-up systems and law of Allah. He has right to deprive mankind of anything he likes just like people have the right to deprive each other of the fruits of their labour. So those who refuse to live by way of life told by Allah therefore lose the right even to their own existence, if they could but think things through. This is why people must not stop people from getting access to provisions of Allah or they themselves then lose the right to life by taking over what belongs to Allah on basis of might is right. They must therefore realise they cannot live for long by opposing the way of life advised by Allah. They will be caught in their own traps it is only a matter of time.

68] Have you observed and learned lessons from the water which you drink?

69] Is it you who bring it down from the clouds or is it brought down by Our set-up systems and laws?

70] If it serves Our plan, We could let it remain salty. Why then do you not make use of all that We have provided you with properly?

71] Why do you not observe and learn lessons from the fire you kindle?

72] Is it you who grow the tree which feeds the fire or is it result of Our set-up systems and laws?

73] We have made it a lesson for mankind to learn from as to what the life will be without light of Our guidance, just like guiding stars as a provision for life of the travellers of vast desert lands.

74] Therefore strive hard for bringing about the kingdom according to your Glorious creator and sustainer.

75] This is why We cite the situation of guiding stars with the travellers of desert as evidence because it is a similar situation between light of Our guidance and the way mankind should live their lives,

76] and no doubt it is indeed a solid evidence if you but examine it

77] because the fact is, this Quran is indeed a program that leads to life of bliss and dignity,

78] preserved in form of a written book for you the people by the messenger

79] that none can reach save the ones free of malice in their minds against Our guidance and mankind.

Here the Quran states some very important facts a)the Quran is light of guidance for mankind b)it is written down in form of a book c)all enemies of the Quran and humanity can never destroy it no matter whatever steps they take against it and d)only those people will be able to understand its message who already know what they are looking for in the Quran to help them see if it is really what it says. Any other people who will read the Quran will not be able to grasp the message because they have not prepared themselves for it ie they have not used their God given brains and bodies to learn sense needed for understanding the Quran. This also means that humanity is not going to be in the kingdom of Allah by tomorrow because to educate mankind is one thing and to seek education is another because people cannot be easily motivated to go to schools and colleges and universities. Even those who wish to go obstacles are put in their way to keep them from learning so one can see how hard work it needs and by how many people before mankind could bring about a better world. It shows how knowledgeable and hard working the messengers of Allah were to be able to convince so many people in such short periods of time. The last messenger of Allah according to reports spent 23 years of his life in trying to get the message across. So people can see how much they need to learn and how hard working they need to be to spread the proper message of the Quran properly.

80] It is sent by Creator and Sustainer of the nations of the world.

81] So will you still hold this statement as baseless nonsense

82] and make denying it its true place in your lives your food for thought and actions?

This verse is telling mankind that the truth of the Quranic message cannot be denied for long and that there is no sense in people making it their business to work against the Quranic message. It will only add to their problems. Moreover if people decide to remain ignorant then how can they benefit from the message even if they wished they did. The message and the preparations for understanding and implementing it are different things. Unless people make ready themselves the message will not prove much useful for them.

83] If not then why is it that when you see a nation being choked to death by an oppressive regime or system you do not intervene to restore its life and dignity by using this program?

84] Instead you helplessly look at each other like fools knowing not what to do?

85] That is the time We could prove very helpful to you through Our program yet you do not see any use for Our program due to your ignorance.

86] So why do you then not - if you claim you are not subject to Our laws -

87] restore to the dying nation its life and liberty if what you say is true?

This verse is attacking the make belief that Allah can do anything at any time haphazardly without any regard for his proper plan, rules and regulations etc. A clear condemnation of belief in miracles and magic etc. The whole Quran is full of verses telling us Allah never goes against his own plan and works according to set-up rules and regulations. This is why he is wise a wise ruler of this kingdom of universe. People think by performing some nonsense rituals they are doing some work for Allah and after that they ask Allah to do things for them as if they have a private contract with him about all this. A very clear proof that religions are nonsense created by rulers and their mullahs to make fool of simple minded people. The contract with Allah is made clear in surah 1 that if people will live as they are told by Allah for the purpose of life as set by Allah then Allah will give them a beautiful life through their acting upon his program for that purpose. Nowhere Allah is looking for empty words as praises from mankind. He wants recognition by mankind through use of their brains and bodies as already explained in detail.

88] The truth is, if the dying nation becomes one of those nations that sticks to Our program, constitution and law

89] then there is inspiration and motivation for it to progress and prosper into a blissful and dignifying kingdom.

90] So if it decides to come aboard Our guidance

91] then tell it, peace and prosperity awaits you the community based upon proper guidance from Allah.

92] However if it decides to be of the nations that are confused and reject Our guidance,

93] then way of life that is based on hateful ideological material awaits it,

94] as well as agonising painful suffering as a consequence.

95] Surely this is the truth that is convincing.

96] Therefore strive hard in the name of your Magnificent Lord to manifest it in form of a blissful and dignifying kingdom for mankind.

[Mughal]

Surah 57 AL-HADEED–The solid foundation for mankind to build their proper human community upon

This surah is named AL-HADEED from root HAA, DAAL and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is solid. Other meanings include tough, sword, strength, power, enduring, iron, standard, base, foundation, criterion, limit, boundary, something that goes through something, sharpen, hone, define, distinguish, to become angry, to stop someone from doing something, to distinguish one thing from another, to prevent one thing from reaching another thing, to prohibit, to be critical, to be against something, to be sharp with tongue, to taunt, to provoke, to mourn, to oppose, to act against, to be clever or sharp etc etc.

This surah is named AL-HADEED because the Quran talks about establishing a blissful and dignifying kingdom in the name of Allah. To have such a kingdom established need for solid criterion for its ideology becomes fundamental for giving people solid foundation in their minds. In order to do that the Quran uses words like AYAATIM BAYINAAT here and there which mean concrete or solid things or reason based explanations that are rock solid or both. In other words the Quran is talking about what proof and proving is all about. Proof is simply put just an explanation that makes sense about some claim or accusation. It explains how available ideas or thoughts or concrete facts connect together in a way that makes perfect sense. In other words proof and proving is about putting thoughts or actual things together in such a way that they make logical sense to an end or demonstrate the end product works. For example, if we are going along a road and we come across a dead body, a gun and a note etc etc. Dead body, gun and note are solid things and as things they are just lying there on the ground. In order to make sense of these things we will have to come up with some explanations. If any of these explanations connects these solid objects in such a way that no better explanation can be found then that explanation of facts is called a proof. Likewise just ideas and thoughts that connect together and make sense in such a way that they cannot be refuted by any other better explanation then just that explanation on its own can be taken as a proof for the end objective. Likewise evolution is a fact in a context. Proof provides the context because it explains how observed things connect together on basis of reason and become understandable. For example, we have some piles of pebbles and some hammers and some piles of broken pebbles. Does it mean anything on its own? No. Why not? Because it lacks explanation. Once we have some explanation by someone telling us that hammers are used to break pebbles for laying a concrete floor, we have the proof because available evidence now makes sense through showing us the connection between things along with their purpose.

The Quran tells us that to believe in existence of creator is not a matter of faith but a matter based on evidence that is provable because existence of creator does have a rational proof. The existence of finite universe is proof that it has been brought into existence by someone who existed always. For example, if we retrace existence of things going back in time then it leads us to a finite chain that ends at its beginning. This forces us by reason to think that there is someone there who has initiated the process of creation. This is not just energy but an intelligent being. Someone capable of planning things and executing the plan the way we observe things as they are today. The chain of origin of things could not be infinite because in that case nothing will come to existence ever because before the end product could come to existence its creator had to come to existence before it and before that creator could come into existence its own creator had to come into existence. If we carry on looking for creator of creator then when will the chain end going backward so that the end product could come about? After all parents have to be there for children to be born. If parents have not yet come about then how can their children? If creating causes are not there how can the created causes be there? This is why to refute the idea of existence of God rationally is impossible. So the Quran in this surah explains that Allah is ever existing being who planned and created the universe using his wisdom. This is why we are forced to assume God exists. This is therefore not a matter of blind faith but of rational proof that cannot be refuted no matter what. The problem begins when we start talking about purpose of creation ie why would God create things? Now you have your assumption that God created things for this reason and I have my assumption that he created things for that reason and yet others come up with their own assumptions or reasons.

This is what we need to sort out ie why God created things? This is something people should argue about and try to find out. This leads us to arguments whether God ever communicated with mankind to tell them things they need to know about God and his purpose for creation. The whole world is full of claims that God did communicate with mankind. In order to prove this claim various people bring up their scriptures. Since people make claims and counter claims things become a lot worse particularly for a human being who is born knowing nothing at all. How to solve this riddle? The easy answer is, let us do all we can to educate each other so that then together we could study scriptures properly and see how they make proper sense. Once we do that our problem about God and his purpose for creation will be solved. It is because without proper study of allegedly divine scriptures we cannot make sense of this world and our God given role in it. We in no way can determine all by ourselves why the creation is brought about by God. In order to decide this issue for good, we will have to solve it properly. To solve it properly we will have to give up our make belief based ideas that lead us nowhere. This means we need to fully rely on science for as much as we can and likewise we need to rely fully on scriptures as much as we can. Here first rule is self awareness. That is because a human baby is born knowing nothing at all and it takes him years to become self aware. The while one is not yet self aware it will be stupid for us to expect him to be able to know scriptures and be able to examine and judge them. The second rule is awareness of the environment in which a human baby is born. Unless a person becomes aware of universal realities, one is in no position to make sense of anything. Again it takes decades for people to become educated provided they make the needed effort for it. Till people enable themselves to be able examine and judge things properly they are in no position to be able to judge the alleged divine scriptures. So whatever they claim about science and scriptures while they are ignorant about things is of no importance. Our life experience is the only truth which we can use to judge any other truth and if our life experience is not sufficient to judge something then we are in trouble because we then can never know what the truth might be in a case. The while we are ignorant about judging things we need to do all we can to learn the skill for examining things and judging them properly. Meanwhile we can only go by what others may tell us and what others tell us could be true or false so ultimately we are not in a position to say anything definite about it till we educate ourselves to that level. So blind faith is not the answer at all and rational faith holds the key but only in light of facts.

When mullahs and scientists will get to that level of thinking, our understanding of world will change drastically. The same will happen when mullahs and secularist are able to think out the link between human population and resources and their proper management for the good of mankind. Till then we will do ourselves a great favour to keep on learning things and helping each other learn instead of stopping each other from learning by putting obstacles in the way of each other such as copyright etc. When it comes to understanding of the allegedly divine scriptures, it is of vital importance that people work according to a comprehensive criterion. So that if anything fits that criterion then they should accept it true but if anything does not then leave it aside. Make beliefs as I have explained already cannot give us any solid basis to work from if anything they stop us from inquiry and therefore proper conclusion based upon evidence and reason. I cannot accept the claim that the Quran teaches us blind faith because it is full of verses that urge mankind to use their brains and bodies to act as proper human beings. If the Quran does not teach us blind faith then we have no choice but to make rational sense of the Quranic text. Blind faith leaves us vulnerable to all sorts of use and abuse by people who promote such a thing because it suits them that way. It is blind faith that people lie down in front of things that are below human dignity and such a thing is obvious in India and other backward tribes in the world. Even people who claim to be Muslims if we look at their populations in backward areas, we see the very same thing ie people worshipping people. This very thing is also obvious in so called advanced secular societies as well where powerful man is preying on weaker people than himself using social, political or economic mechanisms to use and abuse them. All this too is blind faith because if people approached life sensibly, they will stay clear of use and abuse of each other. This is why rational explanations of evidences are of utmost importance so that man could see what is right for him to do and why and what is wrong for him to do and why.

Human dignity suffers gravely when one man dominates another or when one man submits to another as a slave. It makes both look stupid and causes huge damage to humanity itself. This is why people must educate themselves out of all this nonsense. This is why we should not accept anyone as a scholar (be it about study of divine revelation or study of the universe) who is not even self aware. Even if one is self aware yet one has to be aware of environment in which one is born ie the universal realities. It is people who lack proper moral foundation be they religious or secular who go for use and abuse of others for their personal interests and gains. So you can see life experience is basis for science therefore science is basis for judging whatever we come across in our life. We cannot escape this reality no matter what. The Quran is only fit for being divine revelation because it is consistent within itself. Not only that but it is also free of contradicting any known real world reality therefore its claims of divine origin are true. If it contradicted itself or self evident facts or did not provide definite answers to most important questions or answers to human problems then it could not be a divine revelation. This shows the Quran is a book worth studying. Moreover because the Quran does have a proper way for its interpretation, it is wrong to misinterpret it deliberately on basis of make beliefs and other nonsense. This is what mullahs have done ie they have deliberately misinterpreted the Quran in order to make personal gains and that is why their interpretations are not acceptable where they go off the proper track in Quranic interpretation. The truth is these wrong interpretations of the Quran are responsible for divisions in the ummah and lack of progress and prosperity in human world. However, ummah is not that learned so they cannot see what is right or wrong and those who are a bit literate they try to use and abuse each other instead of helping each other out of ignorance.

Since the Quran can be shown to be rational and free of faults in its own context therefore Quran becomes a criterion for judging all other sources of information in Islam eg any Hadith is fine which fits the Quranic framework and context and so is fine any law or historical fact. Hadith reports are not sound just because we have chains of people who report them but we must also cross examine them to see if their texts as they are reported are sound as well. Just because someone tells us this is what the prophet said or did is not proof in itself that that is really the case. People can make up stories in the name of anyone and spread them for so many different reasons of their own. More so people in power through those whom they string along for this purpose through bribery and corruption. This is why we must be careful in accepting or rejecting reports attributed to the prophet and the very same is true in case of so called historical facts. Because historian themselves do not agree on everything in history books. Nothing in real world has any real basis save the Quran and even that is only so because the Quran can be proven to be consistent within itself and with self evident facts.

When people will reach this level of thinking they will come to accept the Quran and when they will come to accept the Quran it will give them solid basis for judging everything else they will ever come across. This is why not only mullahs are wrong about the Quranic interpretations but also the scientists and philosophers, politicians as well as economists. This is why rulers, money lenders and mullahs are all in the same boat when it comes to having information and the skills to making sense of it. The Quran is not an ordinary book but that can only be realised when people educate themselves regarding matters the Quran talks about. The Quran is not only a challenge to religion but also to secularism. Nothing in this world has any solid basis save the creation and the revelation but to realise this fact both need our proper observation for understanding and many of us are trying our best to get to know them as much as we can. It is going to take time but we the human beings will get there in the end.

Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind that

1] Strives hard to fulfil program of Allah all that is in the heavens and the earth because He is mighty wise ruler of this universe.

2] To Him alone belongs the sovereignty of the kingdom of the heavens and the earth therefore His set-up systems and laws regulate rise and fall of nations because He has set-up systems and laws to govern disposal of all affairs regarding everything.

3] He is the first and the last, the evident but hidden Who makes all things obvious for mankind to learn and do.

This verse is one of those that have parallel meanings eg Allah is ever existing as well as his word is final because it is perfect for its purpose. There is no trial and error in his word like people. Not only that but he is evident through visible world as evidence and its explanation and hidden yet provable by way of rational explanation.

4] It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in tapered stages that is how He established His right of rule over the kingdom. He makes obvious to you the mankind all that goes into the earth and all that comes out of it as well as all that comes down from the heaven and all that rises to it. So His guidance should be with you no matter where you are because He has proper understanding of what you ought to be doing.

5] To Him alone belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth that is why it is up to set-up systems and laws of Allah to deal with all affairs.

6] Thereby He changes the dark period of time for a people with the bright period of time and the bright period of time with dark period of time whereby He makes motives of people obvious for mankind through results of their own actions.

As explained already such verses convey various parallel ideas eg here the Quran is telling us that day and night happen due to set-up systems and laws of Allah as well as it is actions of people themselves whereby they end up in good or bad times. People who plan properly and act upon their plans create a bright future for themselves but those who ignore proper education and planning end up in dark future. Here people are conveyed the message that understanding universal realities is vital for human progress and prosperity.

7] Therefore commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to program, constitution and law of Allah as delivered by His messenger and make useful for the mankind all that you have been made responsible to properly manage by Allah for the benefit of humanity, so all those who will commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind by making proper use of all that is provided for mankind they will be rewarded greatly.

This like verses are telling people that having proper foundation for properly organising and regulating human community and then properly planning and executing the plan has great rewards for humanity. The opposite can only lead to troubles. This is why proper education of people is that which serves this goal any other idea of education is can prove very damaging over a period of time.

8] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, what is the matter with you that you do not commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to guidance of Allah in deeds when His messenger is calling upon you to commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of humanity according to guidance of your Creator and Sustainer by your actions even though you have already declared your commitment to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind by your word if you really are committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind?

This is one of those verses that explain what is meaning of commitment to Islamic way of life. People who claim to be committed to cause of Islam but do nothing to help bring about the blissful and dignifying kingdom are not being faithful to their commitment to Islam or humnaity. This is again what mullahs have done to the ummah by telling people just saying some words makes people Muslims. The Quran tells people that real Muslims are those who understand the message properly and plan their actions properly and execute the plan properly till the objectives are achieved. The world is hell on earth and people are not paying the needed attention to the message of the Quran. No wonder humanity is very confused and full of people who lack knowledge ie needed information and its proper understanding. When are we the humans going to do something about it? People say they love their children but what kind of legacy are they leaving them with? A world full of hatred and destruction through wars for personal gains? Is this the right way for people to raise their future generations? This is why over a period of time things start breaking in societies because each and every person becomes aware of his use and abuse by others and that person also start doing the same for himself as he sees others doing. The very people who start this road end up being victim of it.

9] It is He Who has bestowed upon His messenger clear goals and guidelines so that thereby He leads you out of depths of darknesses of ignorance into the light of knowledge. This is how Allah shelters you from harm and destruction through blissful and dignifying program.

This verse tells mankind the purpose of divine revelation ie to get people out of living a confused life into living a purposeful life.

10] So what is the matter with you that you do not work hard for the betterment of mankind according to this blissful and dignifying program of Allah despite the fact that the heavens and the earth belong to Allah alone? Those of you who did use whatever they had and struggled through really hard to overcome all kinds of opposition and adversity before you did not get the same results as you who did not do as good as they did. Surely they ended up with greater blissful and dignified outcome even than those who used what they had for the good of others and struggled through hard times after them. However Allah promises all who work hard to accomplish His program a good outcome for their struggle, that is how Allah makes evident the result of all that you do.

This verse explains a lot of thing as to what Islam is all about and who are people who can be thought of as Muslims. Islam is just guidance about goals and Muslim is only he who works faithfully for achieving or accomplishing God set goals according to set out guidelines.

11] So who is there that will work hard for accomplishing program of Allah in the hope of a better world as the end result and so that He may add more reward to it for his benefit?

This verse is making a very important point which is who is there who is willing to work for the plan given by Allah in the hope of ending up with what is promised by Allah. I would also like to clarify a point here which is about loan to Allah. What it means is, who trusts program of Allah that if he worked according to it then he will be rewarded for it. It is just like you work for someone trusting him that he will pay you when you have completed his work. So in a way you are loaning your labour to someone till you get paid for it at the end of job. This requires trust of one party in another party and that is what this like verses mean in the Quran. The reward promised is manifold because a human works and God also has much greater part in it because he is the one who has provided all things to the worker. So when it comes to reward, it involves extra reward for which man did not work but God did. Yet reward for God also is given to man with the condition that whatever is above his normal needs he will give it away for others to benefit from it as a duty, without thinking that it is his because all things belong to creator not him.

12] One day when the program of Allah becomes established you will see the managers and the managed communities committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind how the light of knowledge from Allah will be shining before them guiding them to the right course of action, heralding good news about the day when things people need will flow in their blissful and dignifying kingdom like rivers wherein they will land, and that will be a great achievement for them.

The Quran keeps telling people that if they want a better world then they will have to work hard for it. Allah only provides guidance for humanity he does not go ahead and also do things for them. This is why sitting on prayer mat and keep asking Allah for things is not going to work and it never did. If it was only matter of people asking Allah for things and he giving them, the Quran did not need to be the way it is. In other words the Quran is trying to persuade mankind to work towards their own better future. Failure is not an option because that will land mankind into lots of troubles. So people who want better future yet do not work for it are called hypocrites by the Quran.

13] One day when they will see followers of program of Allah successful, the confused chiefs and their confused followings will say to those who would have committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, could you overlook our actions against you and let us have share in your success due to light of knowledge that you have? They will be told, first look back on your past and take steps to reconcile it otherwise carry on living by light of your own knowledge as you have been because that is the way you thought things will be better for you. Thus a clear wall of distinction will be set up between them allowing in only those who are deemed deserving. Inside the wall will be community living on basis of caring and sharing out of hard work and compassion and outside all along there will be communities living in hell of their own making tearing each other apart in rage against each other.

14] They will shout out to the people living in peace, were we not on your side? Yes, they will reply, but you led yourselves into conspiracies against us because you were suspicious about our motives and you doubted the program of Allah so you were deceived by your harmful and destructive ambitions and desires until there came the time Allah warned us all against the while your destructive leadership deceived you concerning revelation of Allah till the last moment before you were hit by consequences of your actions.

15] So today no redemption is possible for you or for the open opponents of guidance of Allah unless you repent and reform. Your abode is fire of hatred among yourselves that you yourselves have ignited and that is a very bad state of affairs to be in.

16] So has time not arrived for those who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind to act with fervent hearts on program of Allah for the purpose it is has been revealed so that they do not become like those who were given the book before this because as time went on for them they gradually lost their fervour for acting on their commitment to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind for which they were given the book? That is how most of them ended up causing divisions by inflicting harm and destruction upon each other.

17] However you should remember always that message of Allah inspires and motivates human world back to life after it has fallen apart due to its ignorance and arrogance. That is why We have made clear Our lessons for you so that you could become sensible.

18] Surely the managers and the managed communities who work for fulfilment of Our set goals therefore lend Allah fruits of their labour for bringing about the beautiful world will have the outcome manifold and even more than that when the goals are accomplished.

19] Those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind by their actions according to program, constitution and law of Allah along with His messenger they are the ones in the sight of their Lord true to their commitment and are true example to the world to witness about His program. For them is outcome according to the degree of their enlightenment and actions. As for those who deny benefits of Our guidance to mankind and oppose Our goals and guidelines they are bound to end up in the hell of their own making.

20] You will come to realise in time that the life of this world without the guidance of Allah is only a do as you like and a show off and boasting among yourselves against each other and a quest for greater power and riches and more children for fighting against each other for dominance. The similitude of such way of living is like that of vegetation that flourish after rain the growth of which delights the tillers then it withers and you see it turn yellow and soon after it becomes dry and crumbles away into dust. So what counts in the end is living a life in terrible agony in the future or living a life that is secure according to program of Allah, a life of peace and prosperity. The life of this world is nothing less than harmful and destructive without mankind following guidance of Allah.

21] Therefore commit to working for life of peace and security according to program of your Lord in order to turn the world into a blissful kingdom that is vast enough to accommodate the heavens and the earth, it is a program prepared for those who will commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind along with His messenger. Such is the blissful revelation of Allah understanding of which He bestows on such as are happy to make effort for it, for Allah is bestower of the great plan for peace and prosperity of mankind.

22] No harm or destruction takes place in the world among yourselves which is not told about in the book already before it strikes according to Our set-up systems and laws that operate throughout the universe, surely Allah’s purpose for revelation is to make such things easy for mankind to overcome.

This verse is very important in the sense that it explains what is meant by harm and destruction coming from Allah. It means the forewarning as told in the revealed scripture not something that is written in destiny book as mullahs have told people. Mullahs are wrong because Allah never sends any punishment for any people and there is no reason for Allah to do so as it is told in the Quran repeatedly. The point is that if people do not educate themselves properly and learn how to live their lives properly then harm and destruction will be the result as outcome of their own doing.

23] It is done so that you the mankind do not become hopeless and lost within yourselves or be completely over taken by grieve for things that you miss due to your ignorance and arrogance forgetting others who can help, or be completely over taken by joy at what you gain forgetting others that need your help out of arrogance, for Allah does not support any such people who are hopeless or are vainglorious boasters who oppose His program due to arrogance,

24] who are stingy themselves and encourage others to be stingy also. He that pays no attention to program of Allah should realise that Allah is free of all needs and that sovereignty of the universe belongs to Him alone.

People should never be selfish or the consequences could be very serious ie people instead of becoming a caring and sharing brotherhood will end up worse enemies of each other and so life will become a living hell for all in the community over a period of time.

25] Surely We sent Our messengers for mankind with clear goals and guidelines therefore we sent with them Our books as the standard to measure against all that people may say and do so that people could conduct themselves with fairness for the benefit of humanity. We have sent this solid criterion as a foundation for humanity because therein is sure protection and many benefits for the mankind and so that Allah makes obvious to people those who along with His messenger really support His program the outcome of which is not yet obvious to them. Surely guidance of Allah is mighty powerful if acted upon by mankind to bring about the promised outcome by means of His set-up systems and laws that take care of all affairs.

26] We sent Noah and Abraham and bestowed among their descendants prophet-hood and the book. Some of them adopted the program that was proper but most of them rejected and opposed it and therefore transgressed against each other and thereby ended up divided.

27] After them We sent other messengers one after the other and followed them with Jesus the leader of community of Mariam. We gave him the Injeel whereby We wanted to put compassion and reconciliation into the hearts of his supporters so that they become a brotherhood. As for monasticism, they invented it themselves, We did not impose upon them anything other than seeking the establishment of blissful and dignifying kingdom consistent with plan of Allah which they bothered not to accomplish as they were supposed to. So We rewarded those from among them who committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to Our program, constitution and law but most of them were transgressors who inflicted harm and destruction upon each other therefore ended up falling apart.

28] O you the people of the book who claim to be committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind, be consistent with guidance of Allah and with each other by committing to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind along with His messenger so that you are rewarded with double the share in His blissful and dignifying program and so that He makes for you another supporting light to walk with and secures you, for He protects mankind through His blissful program.

29] For those people of the book who refuse to work for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind along with this messenger let them be aware that they do not have the monopoly over the guidance of Allah rather it is entirely up to Him to bestow it on whoever desires to work for it because Allah is capable of bestowing great gifts on humanity through His blissful and dignifying program for them.
