Surah 84 AL-INSHIQAQ-The explosion of universal and revelation based information and its proper understanding by people in due course will help mankind develop and prosper into a proper human community
This surah is named AL-INSHIQAAQ from root SHEEN, QAAF and QAAF. Already explained it means expansion, explosion, tearing apart, explanation, opening up, division, dissention etc etc.
This Surah is named AL-INSHIQAAQ because it is about explosion of knowledge and its benefits as well as problems related to ignorance and remaining ignorant. It is made clear that mankind are here to live regardless they like it or not because that is what Allah decided on his own and he did that because there was no one about to object to what he wanted to do. Because Allah created the world and the people so he gave them a program, a constitution and a law as well as freedom to do as they please with a warning of facing consequences. They are told that if they will follow his advice the journey will be made easier otherwise do as you please and face the outcome of those actions as a human family. Ultimately humanity will arrive at the same end that is already pointed out for it ie peace and harmony between them and conquering of the universe. It matters not whether they find way to it through their own life experiences through their interaction with each other and the rest of the universe and things in it or through divine revelation. If mankind understand and follow divine revelation then time will be cut short as well as humanity will save itself a lot of unnecessary bother and suffering.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] When the universe is explored by mankind
2] and this is how it is planned by its Creator and Sustainer and it will become a reality in due course,
3] and when the earth is explored by mankind
Word MUDDAT is from root MEEM,DAAL and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is a mechanism that keeps something going thereby extends its existence. Also a foundation that keeps extending, civilisation, root, origin, female gender in sexes that helps species keep going, woman, a time period, help, assistance, support, ink, greed, pus, duration, dry measure, desire, progress and prosper, growth, to become empty, to give up things, to explore things further, to pull, to stretch, to be tall, to give rope, to elongate, to lend, to unfold, to enrich, to reinforce, to supply raw material, to supply fodder, to be at high tide, to rise, to fester, to spread out, to flatten, to civilise, to extend civilisation, to develop etc etc.
4] and it reveals what is hidden in it by gradual removal of difficulties in the way of exploration
5] and this is how it is planned by its Creator and Sustainer and it will become a reality in due course.
6] O you the mankind! Surely you are striving towards set goal of your Creator and Sustainer but you should strive hard according to His set standard,
7] because any who strives towards his set goal as a member of a proper human community by keeping oneself on the right side of His set standard
8] will have a quicker and easier journey to the destination
9] as well as one will feel happy and joyful being part of his proper human community.
10] However any party that goes about its set out goal inappropriately without the given book for guidance
11] will soon be calling for its own destruction
12] because it will make itself go through self created blazing fire of hatred within itself against each other.
13] All this because each of its member lives on the basis of personal gains conspiring against his own community.
14] He does not entertain the thought that the way of life he has adopted can come back to hurt him in due course.
15] Yes, this is the reason guidance of His Creator and Sustainer is given to him to help him understand things properly.
16] No doubt We present as evidence the twilight zone
Word SHAFAQ is from root SHEEN, FAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is something leaving one area or state to enter another. Also flickering of a candle flame before going out, niggardly, covetous, weakness, growing old and becoming frail, tender hearted, compassionate, afraid, concerned, weary, kindness, worry, redness on the horizon after the sunset, twilight zone, the way horizon looks in the evening etc etc.
These verses are based upon parallel meanings ie they are talking about physical universe that people will come to know as well as the revelation and therefore become enlightened despite being born ignorant. In other words Allah is talking about how humanity is going to take different ways to make progress from its simplest state of existence to its most developed state of existence. It includes biological, psychological and sociological development of humanity. Not only that but it includes technological development of humanity as well. These verses are comprehensive in this regard so very difficult to translate them just by putting them in few words.
17] so observe the period of darkness of ignorance and the time when humanity becomes enlightened
Word WASAQ is from root WOW, SEEN and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is a gradual progression of something from its simplest possible state to its most sophisticated state. Also to take in something, accept something, to gather individual scattered things together, hardship, toughness, to pick up something, to take responsibility for something, to accept liability, something of which all parts come together to be one whole thing, a load of a camel, a dry measure of something of a certain capacity, a flock of birds, herd of animals, a beast of burden, to cover up or hide things like darkness of the night, to rise up like moon in the sky, to become full moon, to shine upon the land below, to become complete, to be in perfect order etc etc.
18] and the human community when it reaches its set goal
19] by way of progress that will move you the mankind towards the set goal stage by stage.
20] So what is the matter with the people that they do not commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind on the basis of this Quran?
21] Because when the Quran is proclaimed to them, they do not submit to its program, constitution and law,
22] instead the opponents of Our guidance deny its benefits for the mankind,
23] but Allah makes obvious for mankind to see their tricks and mechanisms they try to keep secret from masses.
24] Therefore proclaim to mankind the consequences for not following the Quranic program the terrible painful suffering,
25] but not for those who commit themselves to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and take actions to help humanity grow and prosper, for them there will be a never ending beneficial outcome of their own actions.
Surah 85 AL-BUROOJ–The Quran is glorious program for step by step development of mankind to help them reach the stage of glorious existence
This surah is named AL-BUROOJ from root BAA, RAA and JEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is something that looks solid and is solid in actual fact. It means a fort because a fort looks solid and is solid for protection of people inside it. A place of refuge or a shelter, zodiac signs, constellations, heavenly zones, to radiate or express or expose beauty, to be strong or beautiful or both, a person with beautiful face, a person who walks flirtatiously to attract attention, a person with wide or beautiful eyes, tower, height, prominence, fortification, to display charm or flaunt beauty or glory etc etc.
This surah is named AL-BUROOJ because the Quran is a program that can help mankind rise to a state of dignified existence in due course despite the fact that man is created a very simple thing. The potential placed within mankind is huge and it will take mankind generations to realise it fully. This surah tells mankind that they have divided themselves into three groups a)those who go by revelation, b)those who oppose them tooth and nail and c)those who are not bothered at all how opponents of divine guidance treat the supporters of divine guidance. Finally people are told about the plan of Allah and that no matter what people do against the guidance of Allah and its followers this is here to stay and will keep growing till it has taken over all the mankind. All plots of opponents of guidance of Allah are within reach of Allah and in due course will fail. Not only that people are told that the Quran is written on pages that have been collected in form of a book for preservation of its message.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind
1] We present as evidence the universe full of galaxies
Here the Quran is telling mankind that they will be able to see universal realities at a much bigger scale than ever before by the time the uprising is about to take place or as the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah is about to become a reality.
2] for the period of time that is promised
The promised period of time is time of uprising or time when kingdom of Allah will become a real thing or when one thing will take place and then the other. The attention of those who will be there at the time is drawn to these events. It made clear that if uprising takes place then one will see that trouble makers will be in terrible troubles themselves if they did not repent and reform themselves.
3] for any group that observes the promised period of time and all that which it will witness during that period of time.
4] That doomed are those who make the world hell for themselves and others
5] full of fire of hatred and destruction with ample fuel
6] and those that sit looking at it unmoved doing nothing to avert this situation
It is a very sad situation when people who stand up for humanity are persecuted by tyrants and their supporters and others just sit idle looking at the show as if enjoying it. Such people are also due course will become victims of same treatment by same people. In short Allah is telling people that do not let good people suffer and as soon as you see this happening wake up and stand up before it is too late even for yourselves. Letting enemies of humanity take over the world is a biggest mistake humanity can ever make and because of that it will have to pay the heaviest price later on. All this because with time evil becomes more and more secure and takes harder effort and longer time to uproot it and meanwhile humanity suffers terribly.
7] even though they are also witnesses over that which is done to those who are committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind.
8] The truth is, they torture them for no other reason than their commitment to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to guidance of Allah, the one who honours and dignifies humanity,
As the Quran itself explains fully what the bone of contention is between the two groups ie party of Allah and party of satan=harmful and destructive leadership there is no need to go into detail here.
9] the One to Whom alone belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth therefore Allah makes all things obvious for mankind to witness them.
10] Those who persecute leaders and communities that are committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and do not stop and reform will themselves in due course end up in painful suffering in the hell of their own making.
11] As for those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and carry out works that help mankind develop and prosper, for them are kingdoms in which flow rivers for their livelihood, that will be their greatest achievement.
12] Surely the plan of your Creator and Sustainer is fool proof.
13] It is He Who originated it all and evolves it with time.
14] He is the One Who has provided mankind the blissful and dignifying program for securing them in their existence out of love and kindness,
15] the sole owner of the Throne of Majesty
16] the sole executor of His own plan.
17] Have you not heard the story of the warriors
18] of Pharaoh and of Thamud?
The plan of Allah cannot be defeated by mankind and those who tried their best to do that ended up harming and destroying themselves. In these short surahs certain events are just hinted at but they have been explained in all necessary detail elsewhere in the Quran.
19] Yet the opponents of His guidance persist in denying for themselves and others what is proper and beneficial for the mankind,
20] despite the fact that Allah has all their plots within His grip from everywhere.
21] Surely this Quran is a glorious program for blissful and dignifying existence of mankind
22] inscribed in the form of a book for preservation.
The Quran was written in pages that were collected as a book from which all the rest of copies of the Quran came.
Surah 86 AL-TAARIQ–The revealed guidance that explains origin, purpose and function of the universe and things in it as well as the mankind
This surah is named AL-TAARIQ from root TWAA, RAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to beat something in some way for some purpose. It means footsteps because one is beating the ground by feet as one walks on the path to get to one’s intended destination. It means knocking on the door because one beats the door for getting it opened to make entry into a place eg a house or fort. To knock sense into minds of people by educating them about the purpose of their existence eg to become a proper human community. It means night traveller because in a place where there are no landmarks to see where one is and where one is going the needed guidance can only come from looking at the stars in the sky and stars are only visible at night if sky is clear. It means someone or something that comes at night, it means to beat or knock something for getting through, it means something that loose, it means something that is linked or stitched with something else. It means a way to reach something or a means to achieving some end, a technique or trick or a way to do something, habit, character, manner, people who stand out as role models for their people, tradition, custom, law, things following each other like camels walking in a lane following each other, layers of dust or earth that settle on each other, roadmap, method, happen, mating of cattle, to strike, to knock stones and shells together to try to predict future, a brightest star etc etc.
This surah is named AL-TAARIQ because it explains what the Quran is all about. It is an explanation about origin, purpose and function of the universe and its contents including mankind. The very first verse is about the universe and the revelation that is sent during the period of darkness of ignorance to bring mankind gradually out of darkness of ignorance into the light of information and its understanding and thereby help mankind to become a proper human community so that mankind could live a blissful and dignified life. Both the real world realities and the revelation are just for stimulating mankind into thinking to make a plan of action and execute it for their own good. This is why man is given brain to think and work out received information and the senses to provide window into real world for stimulating and motivating mankind into action. The revelation sets for him goals and guidelines to help him along the way towards achieving the set goals. Failing to benefit from understanding of the universe and the revelation means facing the serious consequences in form of painful suffering.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] We draw your attention to the universe and AL-TAARIQ
AL-SAMAA is the universe and AL-TAARIQ is revelation for guidance of mankind.
2] and what will explain to you what AL-TAARIQ is?
3] It is AL-NAJM AL-SAAQIB
For meaning of word NAJM see surah 53 ie guiding star or beacon or lighthouse etc.

A very bright star that draws attention. To bore, to perforate, to enlighten, to puncture, to pierce a hole, to heighten, to kindle, to ignite, to trigger, to light, to shine up etc etc.
4] wherein for each and every person We have provided program for secure existence.
5] Let man observe and think from what he is evolved and for what purpose!
These verses have parallel meanings which can only be explained. The points made here are origin of man, purpose of his creation, how he functions as a human being and how he is supposed to go about doing things to fulfil his purpose of creation.
6] He is evolved from a part of a liquid that is emitted for progressing to establish plan of his Creator and Sustainer
Word DAAFIQ is from root DAAL, FAA and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is to push something forward with such force that it causes the pushed thing to rush with such force that breaches the means to contain it. Flooding caused by rushing water that breaches banks of a river. To let the water loose at once to disperse it, the rushing flood water that jumps out of its valley, a speed at which animals gallop, the sperm that is ejaculated, to gush forth, to stampede, to act rashly, jetting out or spurting, to fill up with flood water, to act without due thought process, to do something impetuously etc etc.

Particles of dust, chemicals, earth, to cover with dust or chemicals, poverty, need, necessity, playmates, people of similar age or of similar mindset, to become poor or wealthy, to collect things together or scatter them, to hoard or distribute, to come together or disperse, to become tame, to become docile, to become timid or humble or settled, hunger, the base of neck, the area between the breasts and collar-bone, a person in need, a person in trouble or difficulty or hardship etc etc.
8] Surely his Creator was able to provide him with goals to draw his attention to Himself through His guidance.
9] The time period is coming when his hidden abilities and potentialities will become realities in actuality
10] so by then man will realise that there is no authority for man nor any support save that of Allah.
11] Behold the universe, it is working towards its set goal,

13] and the Quran, it is surely the ultimate standard for benefit of mankind to judge their works by,
14] so it is not something that man can ignored without facing serious consequences.
15] As for opponents of Our advice, they are indeed busy plotting a scheme against it,
16] even though I planned things for their benefit
17] nonetheless leave the opponents of My guidance to their own devises but soon they will taste the consequences of their own foolish actions.
This surah should leave mankind in no doubt as what the origin of the creation is, what is its purpose, how it works and for what purpose Allah created mankind and how they should go about living their lives to end up in a blissful and dignified existence.
Surah 87 AL-AALAA – The sovereignty in this kingdom of the universe only belongs to Allah and mankind should learn to live by His guidance as a brother if they wish to end up in blissful and dignified life
This surah is named AL-AALAA from roots AIN, LAAM and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of these roots is something over or above or higher in some sense. Also ultimate, rise, mount, honour, dignity, sovereignty, authority, exalted, in control, over powering, conquering, arrogant, proud, sublime, to rise, to overrun or overcome etc etc.
This surah is named AL-AALAA because it explains the fact that Allah alone is ruler of this world and people will gain a lot by accepting his guidance and living by it. Any other way of life they will adopt will lead them to the same ultimate end but after a very, very long time and lots of difficulties as well as painful suffering. The way of life advised by Allah is the very same that was told to people of the past. Some benefited by following it and others decided to go their own ways and faced the consequences about which they were warned beforehand. The main thing one should remember always is that the Quran is talking about a self organised a d self regulated human community that makes all rules and laws within the provided framework through mutual consultation. Because the program is liked by all that is why they come together and so is constitution and law therefore there remains no need for anyone to go against the program or its constitution or law or their community. If odd person falls out for some reason at some time correction institution are set up to deal with all kinds of eventualities appropriately. Islam is not about rule by mullahs or politicians or money lenders or tribal chiefs etc. It is a community rule based on the Quran for the good of community to benefit all its individuals. No parties allowed in Islam. Individuals support individuals on basis of same goals and guidelines for the very same program so there are no vested interest parties for personal gains trying to harm and destroy each other.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Strive hard so that rule of law of your Creator and Sustainer reigns supreme,
2] Who has designed, originated and evolved mankind so that they become what they ought to be,
These verses are very clearly talking about origin of things then origin of living things and then from among them about origin of mankind. Word SAWWAA is about modelling of things into what they were supposed to be according to their design. This evolution process involved adding things to things and taking away things from things so that they end up what they were required to be by their design. SAWWAA is therefore a very comprehensive word.
3] Who has set them goals to strive for and set them the guidelines to achieve them according to,
The way things happen in nature involve natural laws which determine how things should be naturally. None living things therefore are always under laws of nature but even living things are designed by nature to a great extent and the only exceptional thing is human being. Human beings are also subject to laws of nature but they are also given rule of law to rise above nature ie be able to use laws of nature to their own advantage to a much greater extent than all other living things. The religious concept of predestination has nothing at all to do with the teachings of the Quran. TAQDEER in the Quranic context means laws of nature or set measures for functioning of things and not that man is bound by God in every way so he has no ability to choose to do things he chooses to do.
4] and Who has brought forth all the raw material that was needed for this purpose
5] because He made them capable of adopting to change as well as to effect change in things around them.
6] Therefore We make you the messenger and the missionaries learn Our message properly, preserve it properly and declare it properly to the mankind in stages so that you never ignore or forget that
7] because all this is nothing less than plan of Allah for mankind. Surely He makes known for mankind as appropriate in due course all that is self evident as well as all that is hidden.
All information whether visible at present or becomes visible in due course is from Allah alone who has given mankind the abilities and potentialities to realise and actualise them. All this needs time and effort by people themselves. So those who make efforts and learn do things become better aware of things and make their life easier and those who do not remain ignorant about things and thereby make their own life difficult to cope with. So people should try their best not to remain babies all their lives by not taking interest in learning things because growing up not only means biological growth but also psychological growth as well as sociological growth and on top of all that spiritual growth ie growth based upon proper understanding of the divine revelation.
8] This is how We will make easy for you to follow the path of least resistance to blissful and dignified existence.
9] Therefore you should deliver Our this message to mankind because Our provided guidance will benefit them greatly.
10] However Our guidance will benefit those who are thoughtfully active,
11] because those who entertain harmful and destructive ambitions and desires against humanity will avoid it.
12] But any people who will avoid it will end up in state of grave agony,
This agony is not punishment in hell fire by God but hell people create by themselves by harbouring hatred for each other and making their environment full of hate for each other which makes their own life difficult as a result as already explained in detail.
13] wherein such a party will neither live nor die.
14] Surely any people who stay clear of inflicting harms and destructions upon each other will progress and prosper indeed
15] who pay attention to the advice delivered to them in the name of their Creator and Sustainer and strives hard to establish the advised proper human community network.
Humanity cannot escape harm and destruction by each other till they learn to live with each other and that means coming together on basis of some common goals and guidelines. This is what the Quran is all about as already explained.
16] However despite all this explanation, you still choose to live for the present inflicting harm and destruction upon each other for quick personal gains
17] even though Our set end goal is better and guarantees survival of mankind the best possible way.
18] No doubt the very same was told in all the earlier scriptures
19] including the scriptures given to Abraham and Moses.
Surah 88 AL-GHAASHIYAH-Mankind are alerted that overwhelming worldwide bloody revolution or education based revolution is inevitable so they should adopt the way of life that is proper or they will be faced with consequences of their own actions
This surah is named AL-GHAASHIYAH from roots GHAIN, SHEEN and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is an event that takes place suddenly or beyond expectation therefore it overwhelms those to whom it happens. The surprise element in an event or an event that catches one unaware or off guard etc. The hard hitting event that cannot be ignored because it takes place in such an over whelming way, a bloody revolution is also a surprise event because people in power do not think it is going to take place to dislodge them from seat of power. They feel they are in control so who can dare challenge them but it only takes an event to act as trigger and the whole world can be turned upside down ie it could end up a totally changed world. Other meanings include becoming unconscious, falling into coma or deep sleep, calamity, catastrophe, unawareness, a cover that covers something completely, something enveloping, sexual intercourse, social intercourse or interaction, to faint, to overcome, to visit frequently, to conceal, to cover up, to enshroud, to lose awareness etc etc.
This surah is named AL-GHAASHIYAH because it explains what will trigger the massive worldwide bloody revolution if people do not see sense by learning the message sent by Allah for the good of mankind for an education based worldwide revolution. So in order to save themselves from the situation the bloody revolution will bring about people must come to realise importance of education and proper understanding of their own world and its connection with divine revelation. The idea that education means professional education is utterly absurd because mere professional education is not sufficient to avert problems in human society. It is because the problems humanity is facing are mainly to do with the way people live their lives. If personal gains are all each person wants to live for at the expense of rest of humanity then life is never going to be satisfactory because one person is always going to be at the throat of another because divisions, rivalries and animosities are then inevitable. However happy and satisfactory life needs highly learned and motivated people who try their best to help each other live a most fulfilled life. So even this way of life still needs highly motivated and professionally educated work force that is most efficient in order to help mankind progress and prosper. Just accepting a caring and sharing way of life and sitting idle does not add up. This is why the Quran is not about mere a belief system but about actual practical life. Words must be followed with actions that match them in order to fulfil them. It is one thing to know what right thing to do is but another to actually do what is right.
Believing that feeding hungry people is right thing to do but then doing nothing at all to feed those people adds up to nothing. So knowledge alone is useless unless it is used for benefiting from it. This is why the Quran emphasises doing what is good not just sitting doing nothing at all. The Quran sets goals for mankind and guidelines for accomplishing them. These goals are not going to accomplish themselves without people doing what they are required to do. Needed crops do not grow in fields all by themselves till farmers make farmlands ready and put seeds in them at right time in right conditions. Just saying I am a Muslim and doing nothing to help the world become peaceful, progressive and prosperous means nothing at all in context of the Quran. This is why Islam is not a religion but a deen ie a way of life waiting for people to adopt and accomplish its goals according to its set out guidelines. Anything else is just idle talk and idle talking will not prevent coming of bloody revolution because people will not let each other live in peace unless all people are actually living in peace. So world must concentrate on things the Quran proposes for better world. In this Surah people are told about a mighty bloody revolution because people are divided on basis of power and wealth. This divide increases hatred and animosity between people till it reaches the tipping point. It means once there are enough victims who decide to not to put up with the terrible situations people find themselves in any more, movements for change begin till the correction measures are taken by people in position of power or victims have things their way. If victims are forced to go through bloody revolution, consequences could be terrible for the people responsible for all this mess. Once revolution has been carried out then a new beginning could start. All this needs a program in place to be implemented or things could turn chaotic and yet worse than they were.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Are you aware of overwhelming calamity that could trigger worldwide bloody revolution?
The Quranic context should be clear by now that there are only two things to happen as people adopt to certain ways of life ie either they will follow the Quran and end up in a kingdom full of blessings or they will go their own ways and land in a situation that will force a bloody revolution at a grand scale.
2] People that oppose Our guidance on that day will be overcome and humiliated by their victims
3] as all their hard works to change things peacefully will have come to nothing
Word NAASIBAH is from root NOON, SWAD and BAA. Already explained ie something that becomes fixed in some sense eg in sense of time, place, position, situation or purpose etc. This is why it means goal, idol, stuck in rut, stagnation or obstacle in the way of progress or prosperity etc etc.
4] because perpetrators of crimes against humanity will have plunged the world into a situation wherein people become full of hatred against each other
5] because they will have been filled with information to do things that cause hatred between mankind
People are warned here that there is two kind of information people share with each other, one that leads to their betterment when acted upon and the other that leads them to problematic life. So people should be careful which kind of information they are spreading around because it is going to come back in form of a blessing or hurt.
6] so they will have no food for thought but only that which will make life more and more difficult for mankind
If you keep feeding people with information to do things the harmful and destructive way then as that information takes hold on minds of people and people start acting upon it and the trend carries on and on then nothing beneficial could be expected anymore and the world is plunged into harm and destruction by way of deliberately created chaos and confusion. Only when people have had enough of this situation that they may be forced to think again rather than carrying on. People when they start a war and have had enough of it come to their senses in the end and reach for agreement on basis of some terms and conditions acceptable to both sides. It could have saved the parties harm and destruction had they seen the same solution before they started fighting each other and incurred such a loss. This is where guidance from Allah can help mankind so that they do not waste time in fighting each other over nothing. Instead they can plan how to fulfil their needs with cooperation of each other and take their generations forward. Progress and prosperity of mankind is held back not only by fighting each other but also by sitting idle or having no knowledge as to how to go about things in life that really matter. This is why the more people try to keep each other ignorant or try to make fool of each other the problems bundle up for humanity to overcome with time. This is why at least those who have better sense must try and get through to the rest in order to bring them to their level of ability to think. Human society cannot be fixed by one man but all who are of responsible age must participate and it has to begin with learning and teaching things to each other. Ignoring things or having no sense of responsibilities is not the right way to go about life. So people who talk about changing the world for the better need to explain to others why it has to be done and how it needs to be done and motivate others to pass on the message and then come together and plan things and carry them out. Mere talking is not enough because it is just a start and needs action to fulfil the objective.
7] because it will neither satisfy their need for livelihood nor satisfy their need as basis for their thoughts.
The Quran keeps talking about food and drink but these verses have parallel meanings as already explained. Food not only means food we eat to stay alive but also food for thought to remain free of identity crisis and mental instability. Likewise drink is not just water from the water spring but knowledge also from spring of knowledge. Drink is about taking in information not necessarily taking in water. Having information is so important that Allah gave mankind brain and senses to learn it by themselves as well as his guidance to help them get through life with as little problems as humanity thinks it can.
8] While others in that period of time will begin their struggle for a kingdom full of blessings,
9] and they will be well pleased with results of their endeavours for education based revolution
10] for a higher standard of blissful and dignified life
11] wherein they will hear no harmful and destructive talk against each other.
People who are mentally right never talk to undermine each other or to dominate each other because they are aware humanity is just a brotherhood and the better people are self aware and aware of their environment and divine guidance in that light the better the human community. Their main concern is to find out what problems face mankind and look for solutions of those problems with help of each other before they harm humanity.
12] Therein they will ensure continuous supply of livelihood to satisfy their hunger for food as well as thought.
13] Therein they will reach heights of happiness and joy,
14] because their pots will be full of drink from spring of knowledge
15] and they will sit on cushions of dignity in ranks in rows
16] on provided solid foundations as if on carpets spread out.
To have a solid foundation to begin with is of vital importance and the Quran is the only book in the world that provides that for mankind. Without this foundation mankind could fall into desperation due to confusion and chaos that brings in human mind and therefore in human actions. This is why education has to be about this solid foundation and then all other things that help us build a great world for ourselves that is free of worries and anxieties or regrets. After all what is human life just collection of memories and bad memories make life hell and good memories make life worth living. So what better way to live than help each other build a great bank of good memories about each other and rest of the world.
17] Why do mankind not observe and learn lessons as to how the camels were evolved?
The Quran throughout brings to attention of mankind nature at work so that people observe and try to understand it then copy it and excel as a most creative species with this help. All these things are for stimulating and motivating mankind into action.
18] And the universe, how was it brought about?
19] And the mountains, how were they firmly set in place?
20] And the earth, how was it surfaced from the water by means of highlands and lowlands?
If earth was just a football there is enough water on it that it would have kept earth buried under the water. The creation of highland and lowlands gives living things land and sea to live and work with. If the earth was kept under water human species could not have come about. If humans were not humans they could not be on the moon either. This is why the Quran tells us Allah created mankind as his masterpiece. No doubt humans have learned things by observing nature but no species is clever enough to copy mankind and invent things like mankind did and are still to do.
21] So keep on delivering the message O messenger, for you are duty bound to deliver Our message to mankind
22] however you are not a taskmaster over them
23] so if any turn away and oppose Our guidance
24] then set-up systems and laws of Allah will make them face the consequences of their own actions in a big way.
25] Surely it was for Us to set them goals and guidelines
26] and it was also up to Us to keep them stuck to Our set-up systems and laws
These verses explains why people keep fighting each other to keep each other in check. This is why mankind cannot ignore guidance of Allah because as soon as they do, they fall under laws of nature and then things get tough and tougher whereby mankind are forced to stay within the set range. This is why according to the Quran people can take their fight to any extent but they can never end the world nor humanity in it. So regardless people have weapons of mass destruction or not, mankind will never be able to destroy the world or mankind in it. It is because world is created by Allah to serve his purpose as per his plan. So the Quran is putting forth various challenges for mankind to go ahead and prove the Quranic plan false.
Surah 89 AL-FAJR–The dawn of enlightenment in due course will lead mankind to establishment of blissful and dignifying kingdom based on guidance of Allah
This surah is named AL-FAJR from root FAA, JEEM and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that breaks through something. Moring breaks through darkness of night, light of knowledge breaks through darkness of ignorance, division breaks through unity. This root has been explained already. See 82/3.
This surah is named AL-FAJR because mankind are warned about inevitable worldwide bloody revolution if people do not mutually educate themselves to be united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous. Through this surah Allah wants to give mankind hope for the better future on basis of education. So people should not remain ignorant, illiterate and uneducated if their life means anything worth living for them. In this Surah it is made clear that knowledge and ignorance are two different things. Sometimes mankind went one way and sometimes another way but ignorance remained dominant for majority period of human existence. However this is going to change once knowledge based way of life becomes dominant in human societies. This Surah also defines what knowledge means as far as the Quran is concerned. Knowledge is not about some people being clever in order to dominant others and create master slave divide, hatred, animosity and wars and thereby unnecessary bloodshed and destruction. Knowledge is all about knowing the way the world works and the way people should set up their own human society so that they are able to live like a very successful human family in peace and security. So long as people do not have that knowledge and do not bring about such world they will remain ignorant and useless for themselves as well as harmful and destructive for each other. It is for this reason people must observe and learn from the world and also observe and learn about themselves as well as about the message from Allah.
The Quran makes clear to mankind that Allah has created them for his own purpose and set them goals to achieve along with guidelines so there is no time to be wasted. If mankind want respect for themselves within themselves and amongst each other then they all must do all they can to bring about a world of which all could be very proud. In this Surah it is made very clear that there is no respect in staying ignorant or in sitting idle or in learning and doing things to destroy each other. All this is below dignity of a human being so man must look to higher goals and be not like other animals. The Quran frightens humanity with dire consequences by their own hands if they do not listen to advice of Allah and learn from human experiences throughout ages. The way people have been acting and reacting against each other should make people think about consequences of their actions before they act in future. Only if they will do that they can change the world in to a place full of bliss otherwise the world will remain hell for as long as people will not change their mindsets, attitudes and behaviours to be in line with the provided guidance. This is why Allah says, if you want peace and security turn to my advice and bring about the divine kingdom the way you are told.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] We present as evidence the inevitable dawn of enlightenment that is to take place
2] as well as the periods of darkness of ignorance passed over human family,
These verse tell mankind about their long past as well as their distant future. The human beings began as simple creatures but gradually began learning and received divine guidance when they looked for it and their enlightenment journey began with many patches of ignorance which are going to become thing of the past in due course as humanity becomes fully enlightened at some stage of its life about itself, its environment and divine revelation. These verses explain human evolution throughout times and places.
3] and the consecutive periods of darkness and the odd period of enlightenment,
Word AL-SHAFI is from root SHEEN, FAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is joining of one thing with another for support for some purpose. Individuals join to make pairs. Odd things join to make pairs and become even. Even numbers break up to become odd or individuals. Things join together or break up to accomplish some end. It also means even, support, recommendation, intervention, intercession, advocate etc etc.
The point to be noted here is that it is good to come together to support something good and beneficial but bad to come together to support something bad and harmful or destructive. The idea that prophets and saint can intervene on behalf of sinner is not an Islamic idea because it is a religious idea to begin with and Islam is not a religion but a way of life. In Islam law means you do everything by the book and the book is only good if it has good laws that benefit people and that people never break them for personal gains but if any does then one must pay the price. This is why no prophet or saint can intervene on behalf of criminals because crime is actually crime against humanity itself by human beings against the law of Allah. If some people had the right to intervene on behalf of criminals to save them from legal punishments then what is meaning of corruption or useless law? In fact if everybody thought they could do to each other whatever they liked and at the end of the day they will be forgiven then who will bother to follow the law or why people will need law at all? As already explained, Islam is all about self regulated human community and self regulation needs clear law and educated people to go by it. Therefore people should not take Islamic laws in place of religious beliefs. People in Quranic sense commit crimes not sins and crimes are punished not forgiven through interventions by individuals. How can one person forgive any criminal when it is God and society against which the criminal has committed the crime? In the natural world if anyone falls in fire or is thrown in fire he will burn. Intervention will be ok to save someone from being thrown into the fire ie stop one from committing the crime in the first place. Once a crime is committed then punishment is inevitable because Allah tells us he enforces his laws strictly as we see them working in the natural world. Most anti Quranic beliefs and rituals that are taken as Islamic are actually borrowed from religious people of various religions. This becomes obvious when religious people debate their beliefs and rituals with each other. They try to show their personality cults are better than the rest. Mullahs of Muslim ummah did the same and still do exactly the same. However none succeeds against the other because they are all telling each other lies based upon their ignorance of their scriptures. This is why people need to study their scriptures themselves independent of their priestly classes otherwise they are unlikely to get out of traps set for them by their rulers, mullahs and money lenders to fool them.
4] and this period of darkness of ignorance as it gradually departs!
These are such facts that were unknown to people till recently. Who knew human being evolved from tree of life? Who knew they will become enlightened because ignorance is just a passing phase, be it after a very long while?
5] Is there not in all that a major clue for people who are learned that this Quran is from Allah?
6] Have you not considered how out of kindness your Lord dealt with Ad,
7] the residents of Iram, the city of lofty pillars,
8] the like of which had not been built in other cities?
9] And with the people of Thamud who hewed out their dwellings in the rocks of the valley?
10] And with Pharaoh the owner of mighty structures, forts and pyramids?
Allah provided these people with all things including brains and senses as well as his guidance yet they failed to use them for becoming a proper human community and instead inflicted harms and destructions upon each other and ended up destroying themselves. Why these people who are given this Quran must follow their way of life instead of guidance from Allah to better themselves?
11] Yet they all transgressed in their cities against each other disregarding the bond of humanity and advice of Allah,
12] and committed great crimes against each other.
13] Therefore your Lord found them facing the consequences of their own actions in form of painful suffering.
14] Surely your Lord is ever watchful and always advised mankind to stay out of trouble and do what is told with ample good reasons.
15] Therefore when it comes to man, when his Creator and Sustainer finds him working according to His guidance and so His set-up systems and laws rewards him with blissful and dignified life then he ends up saying, my Lord has honoured my hard work.
16] But when His Lord finds him working according to his own ambitions and plans against His advice and therefore His set-up systems and laws restrict his provisions for him then he ends up complaining against his Lord saying, my Lord has put me through this disgraceful humiliation.
17] No, that is not the case rather you the people adopt personal gains based way of life whereby you undermine dignity of weaker individual among you
18] because you do not set-up society to fulfil needs of all people in society
19] that is how you devour what is rightfully assigned for others
20] because you greedily lay your hands on wealth out of over powering love for it disregarding the guidance of your Lord.
Word JAMMAA is from root JEEM, MEEM and MEEM. Concrete meaning of this root is to put in place a mechanism whereby all wealth ends up in same hand. A deep ditch with such slope wherein gathers rainwater from all sides. Also hoarding, gathering of ample wealth in various forms by various ways and means, to fill the pot totally to the top that any further drop will cause spill. To be filled or fully satisfied, to feel relieved and comfortable, to love wealth to the utmost, a huge gathering of people, gathering of wealth into a few hands, large group of people, multitude, to be abound or plentiful, forelock, to be relaxed, to love dearly etc etc.
This verse is talking about how people use tricks and mechanisms to grab power and wealth for purpose of dominating each other and end up undermining each other therefore stop humanity from growth and prosperity out of jealousy and envy of each other, which leads to hatred of each other and then wars against each other.
21] Be warned that things should not be this way, if you do not desist then time will come when the world will be taken hold of in rapid succession,
22] and the rule based upon guidance of your Lord will be brought about through the missionaries, masses upon masses.
23] That is why there could come a time when all hell breaks loose. At that time the group of people opponent of Our advice will be made to face consequences of its actions but how will that reminder benefit it?
24] It will be wish of each of its members, would that I had done something better with my life for the better future of mankind.
25] However in that period of time there will not be more serious consequences than that for such a person.
26] that is how His binding law of cause and effect will be adhered to, to its natural end for mankind.
27] So O you the group of people looking for blissful and dignified satisfactory existence!
28] Turn to way of life based upon guidance of your Lord and be consistent with it as you ought to be.
29] Therefore join My servants striving for this cause
30] so that you all could enter My blissful and dignifying kingdom based upon My guidance.
What a message for mankind from their creator and sustainer! People should give it its due consideration if they want to one day spread throughout the universe as explained already.
Surah 90 AL-BALAD-The foundation for blissful and dignified existence of mankind
This surah is named AL- BALAD from root BAAL, LAAM and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is a piece of land fir for its purpose. Also kingdom, world, place, country, jurisdiction, ground, basis, foundation, city, habitat, dwelling, place, dust, land, township, stagnant, lagging behind, retard, loser, ignorant, unaware, something lacking realisation, a concept etc etc.
This surah is named AL-BALAD because it talks about the foundation for building a proper human community upon. A foundation that is proper for serving this purpose. This foundation is not just a concept but needs a place as well to be actualised by mankind themselves. So as explained the verses of the Quran are full of parallel meanings. A program, constitution and law is useless if there is no place to put it into practice. This is why the Quran is full of verses that tell mankind to read this message and make proper sense of it and then apply it in such a way that the Quranic message becomes actualised reality. Nowhere the Quran claims to be a total guidance but a complete framework for people to give them a starting point and along the way some clues to keep those people on the track who are already on the right track so that they then could bring others to same path through educating and explaining things to them. This is why mullahs are wrong in telling people that Islamic shariah is a complete guide from a to z. The Quran only gives people support where they need it. It is not a matter of Allah taking people by their hand and making them go through all life step by step. He leaves gaps for people to fill them in by their own efforts. This is why the Quran is not about reading verses from it and applying them but first reading the verses to see how they fit with each other to make sense. There is a big dispute between mullahs and scholars of deen as to place value of human intellect and revelation.
Mullahs claim the human brain has to follow revelation as divine instructions. However the scholars of Quran give priority to human brain where thinking is involved and after thinking has helped understand the message of the Quran then it is revelation that is to be followed as understood. This is very much obvious from the books of Fiqh written by mullahs throughout time. It is because mullahs drawn rules of shariah from the Quran using their intellectual capacity. This shows very clearly that there are not enough instructions in the Quran to suit each and every occasion or each and every step one needs to take. In this matter even 300 books called collection of Ahaadees are not sufficient. This is why mullahs created Islamic law books to suit them. All this proves the claim of mullahs is false about the Quran and Islam. They have created certain rules and laws to use and abuse other Muslims on the basis of their authority which they claim to derive from the Quran. The truth is the Quran does not give any person any authority over another because it is book that teaches brotherhood of humanity. What mullahs need to understand is the fact that authority rests with Allah the only sovereign of the kingdom of the universe and he has authorised mankind to come together and decide matters of their concern in light of the Quranic guidance and realities facing people on the ground. Once ummah has decided matters it is them up to ummah to set up mechanisms to implement whatever they have agreed upon as a community ie it is they who must set up social, political and economic etc systems, institutions, structures, procedures and practices. All people are then just workers who are supposed to work according to instructions handed to them by their community to meet their given responsibilities so that community runs smoothly.
There is no role of mullahs in Islamic program, constitution or law formation. Of course people must know the Quran and the sunnah so that they do not mess up things for themselves as a community. This is why scholars of Islam must concentrate on educating ummah rather than trying to secure their own rule on the people in the name of the Quran and Islam. The Quran is all about self regulated human community and not about rule by mullahs or theocracy. In each and every country mullahs try to set up ummah against rest of mankind by trying to create a state within a state when they have a small Muslim population. The world cannot be changed by people like these who have little idea what the Quran is all about. The reason for all the conflicts in the world is, ignorance of ummah about the proper message of the Quran thanks to its mullahs. Due to this ignorance masses in these countries are not approached properly by Muslims for getting proper message of the Quran through to these people. Instead Mullahs stupidity shows through and each population turns against this ignorant Muslim population. This not only gives bad name to Muslims as a people but a lot of rubbish is then thrown in response to Muslim stupidity upon the Quran and the messenger of Allah. This is how Mullahs have caused problems both for Islam and Muslims. So ummah must come out of these personality cults set up by mullahs if they want to make any inroads into human populations by knowing the message of the Quran properly and approaching nonMuslims properly. Muslims do not own Allah because he is God of all people and so is his message for all. All Muslims can do is be truly faithful to the message and deliver it to rest of mankind faithfully and then see the response of the human world. Don’t act as puppets of mullahs and rulers and money lenders and then expect anything good. Be normal sensible human beings and help others be the same, that is the way to bring about kingdom based upon guidance of Allah throughout the world.
According to the Quran God sent messages and messengers to advise people as to how they should live in this world but at no time people were forced by God or his messengers to do so. Only when people were educated and they themselves realised that they better live the way they have been advised because many a time they drove each other to brink of destruction that they came to their senses and followed the message otherwise they got destroyed by each other. So guidance of Allah acted as a framework for peace between them. Role of God in Quranic context is like that of a concerned parent. A good parent educates its child but lets him do as he pleases and face the consequences. It is therefore not right for people to blame God for their own foolishness. This Surah seems to explain all this to educate people about role of God and role of people themselves in their own rise and fall, prosperity and destruction.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] No doubt We present this foundation as evidence
This place is this planet earth where of mankind have been evolved and continue living for a time till they become capable of moving elsewhere in the universe as explained already.
2] because you the mankind should be living your lives based upon this foundation
3] as generations reproducing and being reproduced
4] We have surely evolved man with capabilities of achieving Our set out goals.
Word KABAD is from root KAAF, BAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is fit for its purpose. Something that is capable of fighting its way through, something capable of dealing with hardship, liver, the interior, heart, centre, the zenith, content, the earth’s metals, hard boulder, great hardship, to suffer, to afflict, to fight, to struggle, to toil etc etc.
5] or does man think that no one has set him any goals and guidelines?
The goals and guidelines set for man by his creator and sustainer have been explained already eg to arrive at unity for peaceful existence and to make progress to become prosper and then concentrate on seeing the universe as creativity of Allah for which mankind have been created ie to appreciate their creator by being creative themselves.
6] He boasts, I can use what I have to bring masses under my influence!
Word LABAD is from root LAAM, BAA and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that sticks to something. Also gathering, crowd, mane, much, great, vast, a lot, coming together, hoarding, felt, ticks, locusts, to stay, to congregate, to accumulate, to patch up, to take control of, to be stuck to the earth, to be retard, to lag behind, to stagnate, to stay behind, to have wealth in abundance etc etc.
7] Does he think that no one is observing his harmful and destructive actions to make him face the consequences?
8] Have We not given him two eyes to see he is not causing harm to others
The eyes on the face and the eyes of the mind.
9] and a tongue and two lips to speak up against any who causes harm to others
One cannot speak just with tongue alone but one needs lips as well to speak properly.
10] as well as explained to him the consequences for conducting himself to either of the two ends?
Mankind have been explained that if they will live as told then results will be good otherwise things will turn out very bad and for a very long time.
11] Yet he does not attempt to take the path that leads him to better life
People hardly like to bother with make efforts to achieve things that really matter. They rather use their time and resources as they wish or desire. However in that case they should not complain when they face consequences of their those very thoughts and actions but they do.
12] and what will explain to you what the path to better life is?
13] It is working for the social order based on brotherhood that helps free everyone held in bondage by each other
In verses like this the Quran reject money based dealing with each other for mankind because it acts as recipe for disaster. It is part of tricks and mechanisms people use to abuse each others.
14] or helps provide livelihood to prevent the coming of a period of time of starvation
Unless people join hands and work for each other’s well being the fighting between people can only lead to starvation because that is the end results of looting and plundering each other by any ways and means. Whether one robs another person by pointing a gun to his head out of his assigned right or by tricks of the trade, the end result is exactly the same ie starvation of the robbed. This is why all wars are fought by people for robbing each other of land and resources or means of production and distribution. This is what money system is and this is what price fixing is. The Quran tells people to be sensible and do not make life hell for each other by adopting harmful and destructive ways of life.
15] for your very close individual relative,
16] or even a needy stranger in distress.
17] Only then one is truly committed to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and is consistent in drawing others to do the same steadfastly and consistent in encouraging others towards adopting the blissful and dignifying program.
18] Such are the people who support the social order that is proper.
19] As to those who oppose that social order, they are the
people who support the social order that is harmful and destructive for mankind.
20] therefore engulfs them fire of mutual hatred resulting in their own painful suffering.
Surah 91 AL-SHAMS–The Quran the source of light of guidance for mankind to bring about a proper human community to turn this world into a blissful and dignified kingdom
This surah is named AL-SHAMS from root SHEEN, MEEM and SEEN. It has various meanings as explained already eg the sun, the star at the centre of this solar system. It means something that is always alive and active. Something or someone that is centre of attention of others. Something that is taken as an ultimate standard for something. Persians used to have symbol of sun on their flag and there used to be an idol by name of shams in Arabia due to which some people were called Abdush-shams-devotee of shams. There was a spring named shams in Arabia. Someone who is thought a man of great learning is also called the sun of the world of knowledge ie shamsul ulemaa. Parents call their children sunshine or twinkle of the eyes. Something that is thought of life giving or something that gives some purpose to life. Word shams also means sunshine, beloved, guide, leader or leadership etc etc.
This surah is named AL-SHAMS because the Quran is a book of guidance from Allah that provides mankind with guidance and leadership. It leads mankind towards brilliant goals with a brilliant program, constitution and law so that mankind could organise themselves and regulate themselves as a brilliant human community to fulfil the purpose Allah has created them for. It is very important as already explained to realise how the Quran uses language to express ideas for guidance of mankind. The verses in this surah also have parallel meanings like other surahs. The idea is that as the sun is centre of attention of solar system and mankind because there will not be any life without it so the Quran should be the centre of attention of mankind because without it mankind will not be able to know themselves or guide themselves. In other words if man does not know his origin, how he works as a creature or machine, what purpose he is supposed to serve and what he needs to do so that the purpose of his creation is fulfilled then one is bound to suffer identity crisis because chaos and confusion in mind does not let man live safe and sound. The power of human brain and stimulating information man receives through his senses about the outside world does not let man live in peace due to curiosity it raises in human mind. So man not only needs food for living but food for thought as well. He not only needs water to live but knowledge as well that quenches his thirst of curiosity. The Quran as a revelation and the universe as a creation when studied together give mankind all that mankind need or will ever need.
The Quran uses language in a special way as explained already. Many of its verses even though use words that have concrete concepts attached to them they are mostly used for expressing abstract concepts and imagery. This use of language is inevitable because real situations mean nothing unless mankind have some thoughts about them that make sense to mankind. This is why proof is not just concrete reality out their but its sensible best possible explanation. By explaining all this universe and things in it including mankind in a brilliant way the Quran proves its heavenly origin. If we think about it, this is how scientists explain evolution ie by observing available evidences they then try to explain them in the best possible way they can. If their explanation proves to be the best than it is taken as a fact. Just as missing links do not render evolution theory false likewise absence of visible link between God handing over the Quran to the final prophet makes no difference. Putting this invisible link on one side and the information the Quran contains on the other side, the wise of the mankind cannot come to any other conclusion than saying, this book is not creation of mankind. So if it is not created by mankind and there are no other more intelligent creatures than mankind that we know of, the only thing that makes sense then is that it is true in its claim that it is work of God. In this Surah people are invited to pay attention to world all around them and try to see connection between all that exists and find their own rightful place therein and realise the role of divine advice. Failing to realise how universe is set up and operates or how people must understand it and find their own place in it and use it to their benefit could have serious consequences for mankind. An example of a people is mentioned as to what they did and what were the consequences of their actions for them. The divine advice was given to them but they fought hard against it thinking they could do things better their own way instead of following the guidance.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] We present the sun and its brilliant sunlight as evidence of Our creation through Our revelation
These verses have parallel meanings eg they talk about physical universal realities as well as the Quran as a guidance book for mankind. They talk about information it contains as well as where that information can lead mankind if they bothered to understand and use it to benefit from it.
2] and the moon as it follows it
As explained already, word AL-QAMAR not only means moon in the sky but also the human community or the wise following that follows a wise leader or leadership. The Quran here is saying the moon follows the sun. The question is, what is meant by moon follows the sun? The light it gets from the sun and then reflects it which brightens up the place to keep away the darkness even at night in a pleasant way. So a human community that takes the light of knowledge from the Quran and then acts on it reflects the blissful and dignifying environment all around. In other words mankind can make their God given world beautiful if they so chose with help of knowledge of the universe and the Quran.
3] and the day as it brightens it up
Day is also a period of time when mankind are happy due to progress and prosperity because needs and wants of people are satisfied.
4] and the night as it covers it up
Night is also a period of time when mankind suffer stagnation, regression and dire poverty. When people follow guidance of Allah their future becomes bright like daylight but when they fall away from guidance of Allah their future becomes dark like darkness of night. It is because wise people never take their eyes off the ball and they do their level best to score the goal. Mullahs ruined Muslim ummah by misleading it into believing all sorts of nonsense and doing all sorts of things that have no benefit for humanity. The main thing people need to realise is the fact that they are human beings and they have needs and they need to take very good care of their needs for living so that they are free to think about other God set goals. So long as mankind live by any way of life that fails to help them fulfil their basic human needs they cannot rise above the level of animals.
This is how one can see whether mullahs have led ummah alright or have misled it for petty personal gains. The more ummah suffers by following Islam of mullahs the more mullahs tell them to do more of the same nonsense and surprise surprise, we the people are so foolish that we keep doing more and more of the very same which adds to our pain and suffering. One has to ask, how dumb we the people can be as human beings? The world is full of pilgrims visiting tombs and so called saints etc for what? To get help from God or so called his loved people with livelihood. These people never try to realise why God will give them a book if he did not want them to do things for themselves? It is funny that Allah tells people here is a program for you to follow as a human family and if you will follow it faithfully all will be good and well for you. Now people instead of getting on with what they are told to do, take out their ultimate weapon the prayer mat. They wash up and get holy and then start begging God for all their needs and say do it for us. This is like a father tells his kid, go do your school work son so that you get some education. The kid instead turns round and start begging the father, please dad, you do it for me. No wonder world is laughing at this ummah today and we get angry why they are doing that to us. Till this ummah wakes up and takes lead all our claims about the Quran will be thrown back at our face, why? Because world does not want to know the Islam we preach and that is because of the state of existence of this ummah ie they do not want to live like ignorant, illiterate, uneducated and poverty struck foolish Muslims. There criticism even though it is foolish is that if the Quran failed to guide Muslims to blissful and dignified life then how can it be any good for us? This question can only be answered if we the ummah wake up and start reading the Quran as it ought to be read and put into practice. If we did that then we will become world teachers and lead mankind to the end the Quran told us. However if Muslims have not followed the Quran that does not mean nonMuslims should not learn and follow it either because good solutions for problems can be adopted by anyone and they will produce the same end results.
5] and origin of the universe and all that which gave it its orderly structure
These verses could not be thoughts of mankind, particularly 1500 years back. It is because they are pointing to the processes, systems, mechanisms, structures, forces and laws involved in origin and evolution of the universe and things in it.
6] and the origin of the earth and all that which caused its expansion
Word TAHAA is from roots TWAA, HAA and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is filling something with something for a purpose to expand it. Something that is spread out evenly or in a balanced way. Also extend, stretch, open widely etc etc.
7] and the origin of life form and all that which controlled its evolution in an orderly manner,
Here the Quran is talking about origin of three kinds of things ie nonliving things, living things and human beings. Each is subject to certain laws that guide its existence according to its set out purpose. The universe is guided by design that suits its purpose of creation, the living things are guided by design that suits their purpose of creation and human beings are guided by design that suits their purpose of creation. Each of these are programmed in a different way eg living things function a bit different from nonliving things because living things have ability of choice. All other living things have very limited ability to choose as compared to human beings. So all the animals save mankind only depend upon instincts not revelation. This is what distinguishes mankind from all the rest of animals. Man despite being product of nature like all other animals is also able to control nature to a much greater extent than all other animals by understanding the forces of nature and using them to his own advantage.
8] and inspired mankind with revelation to use its inbuilt ability to learn what is consistence with its blissful and dignified existence and what is harmful and destructive for it,
This has been explained already that so called troubling conscience does not mean man knows by his nature what is right and what is wrong. If man knew this then there will not be any need for guidance from his creator and sustainer. What it means is the fact that man has been created with ability to learn from his life experiences as well as from any teachings. Therefore if man has become learned enough through life experience to distinguish between sensible information and nonsense information then by looking at the information in form of an allegedly divine book one can find out if it is true or false by trying to make sense of it. Once this information makes sense then man knows it is true and from then on man can be guided by this information. It is because a human has a brain as a machine that processes information and divine message is just information. So when it comes to brain and revelation the brain has priority because it is the processor and judge of the information. However once brain has reached its conclusion about the information that so called the revelation from God is in actual fact revelation from God then from now on revelation becomes driver and brain reads instructions and with help of senses and limbs or body turns it in to a reality that it ought to be. This connection or relationship between brain and revelation is of vital importance for people to realise. One can see it in another way eg suppose you are given a map for building a bridge. All you do is look at the map and see if it makes sense. Once you know makes sense then you accept the map and follow it by actions and turn it into a real bridge. If a program looks ok on the paper when thoroughly examined then it will be ok in reality as well. This is why the Quran seeks a bit of faith and trust from people about its program that even though it may look ok to people when they examine it yet time and action is involved in turning it into as reality.
9] so prosper will any people that will keep away from all that is harmful and destructive for a proper human community,
10] and perish will any people that will cause or fail to prevent harm and destruction to a proper human community.
11] The people of Thamud denied benefits of this advice to themselves and chose to do things their own way by going against this advice.
12] Behold! A man with harmful and destructive mindset, attitude and behaviour from among them was chosen to prevent Our advised way of life from taking roots in the land
13] even though their messenger from Allah said to them, this is a foundation from Allah for building a proper human community upon so let it satisfy our needs.
14] However they denied it its rightful role in their kingdom that is how they cut off the law of Allah from their land. At length uprising overtook them by surprise as they were told by their Creator and Sustainer due to their inflictions of harm and destruction upon each other and that is how they were forced to end up a proper human community.
15] This happened to this human population because it was not paying due attention to the consequences of its own actions.
In these like stories Allah is helping people educate themselves as to how they should live. If they do not then actions and reactions always push mankind in the right direction regardless what people think of themselves and what they do on basis of their personal vested interests. If people do not learn from teachings then they are dragged along by each other kicking and screaming. In other words if there is no education based revolution then it is evolution based bloody revolution whereby only those survive who are fit enough to make it to the next stage. So in simple words like it or not mankind are forced to choose between life based upon revealed laws or life based upon laws of nature. Each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Revelation based education is though bloodless but it is highly demanding. One has to study whole heartedly and for a long time till an animal in human shape has become mentally human being as well. Easier said than done and that is why people run away from study of things. However it is a case of falling out of frying pan into the fire. If you refuse to educate yourself then be ready to face the consequences for staying ignorant, illiterate and uneducated. See what is happening to such people all around the world ie clever people have taken over the world and all the dumb people are in a huge trouble looking for a way out but cannot find one. See if the situation people have put themselves in by running away from education has helped them or caused them even greater problems. Billions of people in the world are living worse lives than animals. So taking the easy way out at one time could mean rest of life full of painful suffering. This is why people need to wake up and enable themselves with help of education to decide what kind of world they want to live in so that they could create that kind of world for themselves. This is what the Quran is about and that is the help the Quran can offer to mankind.
Surah 92 AL-LAIL–The journey of mankind from the period of darkness of ignorance to the period of light of knowledge to bring about the kingdom based upon guidance of Allah for their own good
This surah is named AL-LAIL from root LAAM, YAA and LAAM. This root has been explained already but for reminder it means night, period of darkness or doom and gloom or bad days of poverty in some respect eg poverty of things of need to survive, poverty or lack of knowledge or education or health, time period of ignorance etc etc.
This surah is named AL-LAIL because the Quran talks about the night time or the period of darkness of ignorance. Mankind are told that they are brought into this world knowing nothing so as far as human beings are concerned the world is a mystery when they arrive but they come equipped with brain, senses and the rest of body therefore they are capable of discovering and demystifying things for themselves by learning things as time marches on. They gradually becomes self aware and aware about their universe in which they are born and if they carry on learning then they arrive at a dead end whereat they can only raise questions but can find no answers by way of just brain and senses as usual. At this stage it dawns upon them that there is more to life than meets the eye so there has to be some sort of external source of information because that is the only way they can get answers to their ultimate questions. Mankind deal with material world and the information they need is also about the material world ie about its origin, the way it works, the purpose it serves and what people need to do to fulfil their set goal etc etc. The origin of God is not a proper question because if something comes about that was not already there then that is not God. If God was taken to be something like rest of creation then what will be the point of calling such a being God? God is initially supposed to explain rest of things and if this supposition works then because it works it is true by virtue of its functionality.
Just supposing existence of God does not explain everything therefore the supposition that if God exists then so does his message for his intelligent creatures like human beings. This supposition puts forth the idea of falsifiable or testable claim about God. It is because if we suppose existence of God and therefore his revelation then we can look for it and find it and after finding the allegedly divine revelation we can study it and scrutinize it for its truth to see if it answers our questions for the answers of which we depend on God and his revelation or not. If it gives us a best sensible explanation which we ourselves cannot beat then by reason we are forced to accept the allegedly divine revelation as true divine message for mankind from their creator and sustainer. On the contrary if any such allegedly divine revelation fails to put forth such reasonable explanation then we can conclude that it is not a message from God. The Quran is such a book that provides the mankind with all the answers they need. It solves mysteries for mankind and helps them to be of stable mindset, attitude and behaviour. In other words it prevents mankind from falling into identity crisis thereby into deep depression due to chaos and confusion that could otherwise take place in minds of people. This is how the Quran brings mankind out of darkness of ignorance by giving them knowledge about things they do not know about themselves. So darkness of ignorance is a big challenge for mankind to overcome by way of learning knowledge.
This surah explains to mankind how they need to work as individuals to complement each other for a bigger picture. The idea is that mankind must come together after receiving the guidance from Allah and work out all details as to how the human community should work to fulfil its stated goals according to provided guidelines. This has been explained already ie people need to work out land and resources available to them and means of production and distribution in relation to their population and planning. Once all things are worked out to each and every minute detail then responsibilities are to be distributed among individuals and groups to self regulate from a local village to a whole human brotherhood at the ummah level. The idea is that everything should be taken into account ie work, rest and playtime etc etc. The community life should be set up in such a way that no individual remains uncared for in the community ie the idea is to deliver goods and services free of charge to each and every person at the point of need free of any involvement of money through self help. There are going to be some problems as things start but as things start running the problems will become obvious and should solved promptly and appropriately. This is why the Quran is not about changing things overnight but a program that takes into account human evolution and the way things work in the real world. For example, educating human population about the message of the Quran is going to be a real headache not a piece of cake. Then people coming together and organising and regulating themselves is not an easy thing to do. This is why Islam is not for ignorant fools or weak minded people. It is highly demanding concept to put into practice. Nonetheless reward is nothing less than life worth living once all things are properly in place. So one can see such a way of life is not easy for rulers, mullahs and money orientated people to adopt who live as burden on others whom they trick into their slavery. This is why they do all they can to keep message of the Quran under cover. Ignorance hides and mystifies things this is why these people want to keep people busy on all sorts of nonsense for as long as they can. The day people wake up and start thinking who is running the show and why then it is going to be a lot of trouble ahead. All because painful suffering and decline of nations begins when people start sticking to ignorance and idle talk instead of knowledge and become lazy and do crazy things instead of putting up a good struggle for their dignified survival and prosperity through unity based cooperation as told in the scriptures from Allah for their guidance. Such nations cannot make a comeback unless they change their mindset, attitude and behaviour to that which is needed for a people to become a successful human community that is united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] We cite as evidence the period of darkness of ignorance as it keeps things wrapped up in mysteries keeping mankind confused about them
Word LAIL actually indicates or points out something that something is lacking in some sense eg night lacks daylight or ignorant lacks knowledge or poor lacks things of need or blind lacks sight or confused lacks clarity or chaos lacks order etc etc. These like verses in the Quran have parallel concepts attached to them one has to understand that when one reads the Quran.
2] and We cite as evidence the period of light of knowledge as it brings things to light for mankind removing mysteries to see them distinctively for what they really are.
Word NAHAAR is used in opposition to word LAIL. The idea is that as in physical world night and day cover and uncover things so darkness of ignorance and light of knowledge wrap up things in mystery and remove mysteries about things. One can therefore see if Islam is all about making thing clear for mankind or wrapping them up in mysteries and confusion in order to confuse mankind. This should help one see where mullahs are leading ummah when they try to turn everything into magic, mystery and superstition and call it Islam. By turning things mysterious mullah try to show they have some special knowledge from Allah as if by a direct link. This is why ignorant and simple minded people are conned by them out of any little they have.
3] We have not evolved the people who manage and the people who are managed
Words ZAKAR and UNSAA not only mean male and female but leaders and communities as well or managers and their managed communities. Administrators and ministrations, leaders and communities, dependable people and dependent people in a community, people with high profile and people with low profile, brave people and timid people etc etc.
4] but for the reason that your efforts complement each other towards the set goals of unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind.
Word SHATTAA is from root SHEEN, TAA and TAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to act as separate individuals yet be part of the whole. Also complementary parts of something that even though works as individuals yet play part in greater scheme of things. To act as individual parts of a machine to make it work as a complete machine. Individual parts of a thing that complement each other to make the thing a thing.
5] So for the management that helps people under its management get what they need therefore keeps itself consistent with community
6] and meets the standard set for a beautifully balanced way of life,
7] We will facilitate for it the easy way towards the goal of peace, progress and prosperity.
8] However for the management that tries to take away assigned rights of people under its management thereby enslaves them and considers itself independent of guidance of Allah and cooperation of its people
9] and therefore opposes what is proper in sight of Allah and beneficial for humanity,
10] We will leave open for it as per its own desire the way to hardship and painful suffering.
11] Just think, of what benefit will its wealth be for its population if it itself lives its life on a condemnable foundation of personal gains at the expense of community spirit?
12] Regardless it is for Us to provide guidance for mankind but up to mankind themselves to follow it faithfully or not,
13] because it is always up to Our set-up systems and laws to decide everything about Our projects from the beginning to the end according to Our own plan.
14] Therefore you the mankind are clearly forewarned by Us against igniting fires of hatred amongst yourselves,
15] in which will burn none save the ones who want to cause harm and destruction to each other and those who do nothing to stop it,
16] such as deny to each other what is beneficial for mankind and turn away from Our guidance.
17] However such as follow Our guidance We thereby keep them away from doing such harmful and destructive things to each other,
18] the ones who use what they have to help others and stay clear of inflicting harm and destruction upon each other,
19] seeking no other favour from anyone nor expecting any return of anyone,
20] save the cooperation to establish the goal set by their Creator and Sustainer the bestower of honour.
21] It is such people who will soon be well-pleased with program of Allah their Creator and Sustainer for the outcome of their faithful actions.
People who will endeavour to excel in life will ultimately reach their set goal and they will be well pleased with the outcome of their thoughts and actions.
Surah 93 AL-DUHAA–The spreading of light of knowledge is constantly removing darkness of ignorance to bring about a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah
This surah is named AL-DUHAA from root DWAD, HAA and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is the time period when sun appears in a place in the morning and its light keeps on spreading till it is at its maximum at noon. Rising of a nation from the period of time it begins till it reaches its maximum power. The time when divine revelation appears and spreads till it has spread to its maximum. The period of time of expansion of enlightenment. Period of time when sun shines on things fully making things appear exactly as they are or when one has gained maximum understanding and grasp of things. The sun is not only the star in the sky but sun of knowledge or enlightenment is also called sun and it shines on those who learn things. To bring something in the open or to shine light on something. The breaking of day, daylight, the brief time of mid-morning, to expose oneself to the sun, to appear or appear conspicuously, suburb and surroundings, sacrificial animal, sacrifice, dedication or commitment, to enter at the time of mid-morning etc etc.
This surah is named AL-DUHAA because the Quran talks about importance of knowing things properly and planning things or course of action properly and then executing the plan or acting upon it faithfully. All this because unless people have a proper goal and a fully worked out proper way to achieve it and then they act upon it faithfully they can do nothing much other than sit idle and make random movements which lead them nowhere and that is why most nations in the world decline or perish or cannot rise. It should be obvious to sensible people that message of the Quran is very simple for mankind ie do as told to get the blissful and dignified life as promised or die by doing things the wrong way after prolonged painful suffering. It is because ignorance, illiteracy and lack of education based actions cannot deliver blissful and dignified life as outcome instead they deliver the opposite. This is why people should not only learn information and how to understand it but also teach the same to others because to bring about a proper human community is not possible for any individual on his own. One can only do so much and the rest is up to others. By encouraging and helping each other people can move mountains so it should not be that difficult to educate human population so that then people could become the proper human community that is properly organised and regulated for fulfilling all its needs and set out goals by its creator and sustainer.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] We cite for evidence the spreading of light of knowledge
2] whereby in due course the darkness of ignorance will constantly vanish.
Word SAJAA is from roots SEEN, JEEM and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is at rest in some sense. A person is stuck in a routine, someone moving or travelling at a constant speed without disturbance, something standing still or is at rest or is stationary. Night becoming darker and silent wherein there is no sign of any disturbance. Some situation or circumstances remain constant. Quiet, calm, to be tranquil, to be serene etc etc.
3] Your Creator and Sustainer did not plan to keep you the mankind in the same state of existence forever nor has He left you aimless without setting you any goals and guidelines.
4] Therefore your future life will be full of blessings for you than your life in the past.
Words AAKHIRAH and OOLAA here mean the earlier life of human beings as compared to later life. This verse tells mankind that human progress and prosperity is inevitable despite the fact that it is going to take a very long time.
5] That is because set-up systems and laws of your Creator and Sustainer will rewards you the mankind with an outcome with which you will be well pleased if you proved to be consistent with His set out goals and guidelines.
6] Did He not find you people abandoned by each other and provided you with knowledge as foundation for bringing about a community based kingdom?
7] Did He not find you the people wandering about confused and set you goals and guidelines?
8] Moreover did He not find you people in need of necessities of life and to fulfil your needs and wants provided you with His blissful dignifying program?
9] So that you never treat any abandoned individual or group in need of due support disrespectfully with contempt
10] and never deny due livelihood to any individual or group that needs it.
11] Therefore keep in forefront of your minds always blessings in form of unity, peace, progress and prosperity you the mankind can have due to guidance of your Creator and Sustainer therefore be helpful and act for benefit of each other accordingly.
Surah 94 AL-INSHIRAH-The clear understanding of goals and guidelines and hard work in fulfilling them can lead to solution of all problems that face mankind
This surah is named AL-INSHIRAH from root SHEEN, RAA and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that causes a space to open up wider. Also enlightenment that leads to open mindedness or better understanding of things, an idea that leads to solution of a problem or removal of a an obstacle or difficulty or hardship in the way of getting to a goal or destination. To slice, to cut into thin pieces, to dilate, to expand, to expound, to manifest, to realise, to actualise, to reveal, to lay open, to display, to open the door to new ideas or things, to spread the meat, to spread something valuable that acts as food for thought, to make room for something, to make something acceptable, to explain something in detail etc etc.
This surah is named AL-INSHIRAH because the Quran talks about lessons and learning through observation and reflection upon realities of this universe along with revelation of Allah for properly understanding things so that mankind are able to see things for what they really are and whether they are the way they should be or need some work to change them to be what they should be according to set standard of Allah. All this cannot be done unless people have wider and deeper sense of things and they can adopt such a mindset, attitude and behaviour that is helpful for themselves for their blissful, dignified and secure existence as a proper human community. So understanding the divine manifesto and spreading it to gain support and then for people to come together to form a community worth its name are of vital importance for mankind. This is why all time must be spent on furthering this cause that remains after meeting necessities of life till human population becomes a proper human community. It is because unless people work very, very hard for a better human society it cannot come about. It has to be taken as a mission. The reason is that if you want something to be proper then each and everything has to be done properly because one fatal mistake or wrong move can ruin the whole plan.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Have We not made clear for you the mankind your goals and guidelines?
As explained already word SADR from root SWAD, DAAL and RAA means the centre of power or chain of command or heart of a plan, cause, mission or being etc.
2] To remove thereby from you your problems and difficulties
3] which break your back through breaking down of community spirit in you.
4] That is why We have pointed out for you the mankind the need for your hard work to understand things and do what needs to be done.
5] Because surely with hard work can be removed problems and difficulties.
6] Surely through hard work come about solution of problems which remove difficulties.
7] Therefore if you want freedom from problems then fix your energies on accomplishing the mission
8] and become fully involved in serving mission of your Creator and Sustainer till it is fully accomplished.
Surah 95 AL-TEEN-Mankind are created with ability to establish and maintain blissful and dignifying kingdom based upon guidance of Allah so they should do it for the good of themselves
This surah is named AL-TEEN from root TAA, YAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is fig fruit, leaf or tree. An area where there are fig trees, name of a mountain range, a place wherein people of prophet Noah lived, the custom or tradition of a people living in the area where there are fig trees, something that helps cover up or hide an embarrassing situation, something that protects or shields from harm and destruction, a program and constitution and law to put things right that are seen or thought to be wrong or harmful and destructive by a people, something that is considered important or of value, something that indicates or predicts disaster, to give best performance, something that can help deal with something or some situation, a worthless thing, a contemptible thing, something of least use or value, a small community of people, something negligible in size or value etc, enlightenment etc etc.
This surah is named AL-TEEN because the Quran talks about goals and guidelines of Allah as a program, constitution and law for unity peace, progress and prosperity of mankind to protect humanity against harmful and destructive ways of life. The Quran talks about various people eg people of Noah, people of Jesus and people of Moses etc. In this surah verses one, two and three talks about four different revelations to four different people ie the program, constitution and law given to each of them. From the context of the verses in this surah and in wider context of the Quran it seems the Quran is talking about a way of life that is advised by Allah for mankind to follow for becoming a worthy people. The people in the past followed it and got what they were promised so later people in this world in this era are also told to do the same because going about life any other way will only keep mankind from realising or actualising their full potential and could also lead them to their own self destruction.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] We present as evidence the program, constitution and law given to people of AL-TEEN and people of AL-ZAITOON
Just as TEEN seems to be about people of Noah, so ZAITOON is about people of Jesus and SEENEEN is about people of Moses. Word TEEN is about a good tree that produces good fruit. The Quran uses words like SHAJRAH, TAIYBAH and KHABEESAH ie good and bad tree for program, constitution and law from Allah or people making laws for themselves for their own goals in life.
Word ZAITOON as explained already elsewhere means alive oil, olives, olive tree or olive branch or leaf etc. In Arabic idiom words have other meanings and concepts also as explained in detail already. The simple idea is to think of road traffic signs which people who know them have no problem interpreting. Handing over to someone olive branch has its own concepts than simple word for word meanings. Word ZAITOON stand for exactly the same reason as word TEEN but for a different people. The ZAITOON tree is mention in the Quran as something of value for mankind because it is light of knowledge from Allah.
2] as well as people of TOORI SEENEEN
Word SEENEEN is about divine program, constitution and law given to a people in area of Mount Sinai.
3] and this program, constitution and law that is given to people of this ummah of this era to secure their blissful and dignified existence,
4] We have certainly evolved mankind with capability to accomplish and maintain balance and beauty in the world by removing harm and destruction from human community
5] even though We have allowed for the mankind to choose to debase themselves to the lowest of the low point
6] nonetheless those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and take actions to remove obstacles in the path of human development and prosperity such will indeed achieve their goal without fail.
7] So what is causing you the mankind to deny yourselves the benefits of establishing blissful and dignifying kingdom based upon Our guidance after having received program, constitution and law from Us?
8] Is rule based upon guidance of Allah not the only one based upon proper wisdom out of all the rulers you adopt by yourselves?
Surah 96 AL-ALAQ-The program, constitution and law for social cohesion of mankind upon which people should base their community for blissful and dignified existence
This surah is named AL-ALAQ from root AIN, LAAM and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is something that ties or links or attaches itself to something else for some purpose eg for its origin or survival. An apple hangs down from the branch of an apple tree. Something that sticks to another thing like a leech. A relationship between a husband and wife where one partner keeps the other in suspense whether one want to continue marriage or end it. A bucket attached with a piece of rope that is lowered into a well to get water from it. Someone attached to someone in love. The congeal blood, blood clot, to hang, to cling, to become suspended, to adhere, morsel of food, creeper, treasure etc etc.
This surah is named AL-ALAQ because the Quran talks about people sticking together as a proper human community based upon guidance from Allah. It also talks about laws of nature and how far they go and the place of revealed program in divine scheme of things. Having sense of both is absolutely necessary for proper existence of humanity. As explained already the proper understanding of divine revelation fully depends on understanding of universal realities ie one must think and realise one’s own existence and development from birth till death in all aspects eg biologically, psychologically and sociologically. The Quran is not an easy book to understand but it is not an impossible to understand book either. Without self awareness and awareness of universal realities the Quran cannot be understood therefore it cannot be implemented either. So people who are really interested in concept of God and revelation they need to question themselves as to what they want out of life ie stability or instability. Both objectives have an outcome for mankind that they cannot escape. If people decide to take the way of life based upon laws of nature then laws of nature will decide how their life turns out. It is hard in two ways a)the mental instability is inevitable at some stage in life and b)it requires one to beat all the competition out there. So one is all alone to face everything and any links are merely based upon survival advantages. In order to take advantage of others one will have to be a ruthless person because if one is emotionally weak then one will break down very early in life as this way of life involves use and abuse of any person and every person. If all people in human society were like that then life will not be a pleasant experience for anyone at all because each and every person will be looking over his shoulders all the time. No rules can apply such a way of life rather it is lawless way of life. It is because no matter what laws are agreed between people they will be forced to break them because if they do not they will lose out in the game of survival. On the other hand if any is caught breaking the law then rest will want to see this person punished so again such a person will be disadvantaged. On the contrary people can live under laws of God and that will give them mental stability and security as well as physical stability and security. However this is going to come at a price, which is working hard and handing over the fruit of your labour for the well being of others though others will also be doing the same ie people will have to accept that they will have to work for the mutual benefit of each other as proper human community. This way if community makes any gains then all share it and if community makes a loss then all share that also. For example, if one year the crop is good then all will get more than they need but at any time it is bad then all will have to go without it. It is family way of life at a much bigger scale.
The third way of life is in between sort of way of life ie people divide the world between themselves and stick to their groups and then groups compete against each other. This is how world is living today ie it is neither totally based upon survival of the fittest nor totally based upon guidance provided by God. This is how some countries are beating others at competition and by using and abusing them giving relatively better life to their own group of people. Not all people benefit at same level because the use and abuse of their own people also carries on but not as it is obvious in the countries beaten in the competition. One can check this out about the countries in the world as to how this way of life is destroying the world’s human population through hunger and thirst. There is never a day when there is no some sort of war on going somewhere in the world between some groups of people because social, political and economic systems are set up that way so that some people could easily abuse others. Powerful and rich countries ensure that weak and poor countries never build their educational institutions so they pick such people from among them that carry out their dirty work in their own countries. This is why human life has become of no value at all throughout the world. However, the very people who are used and abused do not want to hear anything against the system because main stream media is conditioning people all over the world to keep things the way they are. All this because rulers, mullahs, money lenders and those suck up to them work together to keep masses in confusion and chaos through their tricks and mechanisms they have put in place, which due to simple mindedness masses cannot see. This is how these people do their magic on masses and all movements against this use and abuse fail due to conspiracies by these people. The only time masses can come out of this trap is when they have been abused massively and to the utmost degree that they totally lose hope in rulers, mullahs and money lenders and their public relation managers. Only then they will look for alternatives and will at all listen to voices crying as if in wilderness. However when they will do that there is going to be a massive revengeful action by these victims against their users and abusers. This does not look far away the way human population is growing and there is no way found by rulers, mullahs and money lenders to cope with it. It is to the advantage of both the parties to come to their senses and stop using and abusing each other and realise that it is time for massive change in the way we live our lives before it is too late.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Proclaim in the name of your Creator and Sustainer Who evolved all that exists.
Word IQRA as already explained means to receive a message, remember it and write it down and then proclaim it. This is why the word Quran means a proclamation that has been received and collected in form of memory and writing. This is why all people that tell us the Quran was not left behind by the final messenger in form of a written book are unaware of what the Quran itself claims. The reports we have in the books of Hadith need to be interpreted in a sense that they do not contradict the Quranic claim. If any report is not possible to reconcile with the Quranic facts then such a report cannot be true rather it could be part of false reports that have been concocted by rulers, mullahs and money lenders to try and create doubts about the text of the Quran to move the Quran out of their way.
Likewise any report that tells us any messenger of Allah did not know he was chosen a messenger by Allah and had to be told by others are also false such a report is in the book of Bukhaari which tells about the beginning of revelation and how the final messenger ran home and was taken to a Christian missionary who told him he is chosen as a messenger of Allah. If we read the story of Moses how Allah chose him that should explain how Allah chooses his messengers and that the chosen ones are told by Allah that they are his messengers and they do not need anyone else to tell them that. Such reports are part of conspiracy against message of Allah but as has been explained how the Quran proves to be word of Allah should be sufficient to make people realise that the Quran is not word of any man even today let alone the word of a man 1500 years back from Arabia.
2] Who evolved mankind from the tree of life as ultimate product of evolution like a fruit sticks to its tree.
This verse is not only telling about origin and evolution of mankind but the purpose of human creation as well, which is mankind sticking to each other for fulfilment of their needs and wants according to program, constitution and law of Allah. So man has to stick to guidance as well as humanity itself for blissful and dignified existence.
3] Proclaim to mankind that program, constitution and law of your Creator and Sustainer is full of blessings and dignity for humanity,
4] Who manifests decreed things in due course
5] gradually unfolding them before man what he knew not.
These verses are telling mankind that plan of Allah is unfolding with time so man should not ignore the message from his creator and sustainer or consequences will be serious.
6] But the fact is, after all this explanation man still violates set limits of Allah that are for his own secure and dignified survival,
7] thinking himself independent of Our guidance as well as humanity.
8] No matter what the truth is that security and dignity of your existence lies in accomplishing goals set by your Creator and Sustainer according to His guidelines.
9] O mankind, have you considered the case of such a person who stops
10] Our missionary from communicating Our message to humanity for forming a community network for installing Our program, constitution and law in the land?
11] Do you consider that such a person is following the right course of actions
12] or is striving for the benefit of humanity?
13] Or do you consider such a person denying the benefits of Our guidance for humanity by turning himself and others away from it?
14] Why does he not bother to become aware of the fact that set-up systems and laws of Allah are monitoring all that he does and are bound to deliver him the results of his own actions in due course?
15] No, he is not following the proper course of actions! Let him be aware that if he stops not then We will leave him to be dragged along with his advisory committee in to painful suffering,
16] His criminal advisory committee that advises him to deny benefits of Our guidance to humanity.
17] So let him call on all his supporters to help him in his cause,
18] Soon We too will invite those who wish to install and maintain rule based upon Our guidance in the world.
19] No, none of you the mankind should align with such a leadership instead commit to Our program, constitution and law and follow it faithfully to accomplish the set out goal.
Thus surah is all about bringing about a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah in order to bring about the blissful and dignifying kingdom. This surah also tells that no matter whatever forces people will gather against rule of Allah, they will not be able to stop its installation and maintenance by his missionaries. A very forceful declaration indeed.
Surah 97 AL-QADR–The vital importance of setting measures by Allah as goals and guidelines in shape of a program, constitution and law for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind
This surah is named AL-QADR from root QAAF, DAAL and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is setting measures for some set goal along with guidelines, systems and laws for governing a process from start to finish in a coordinated way. Also to make something according to set out purpose or goal or standard etc, to estimate something quantity or mass or size or length or volume or capacity or speed wise, destiny, goal, measure, estimation, value, law, standard, criterion, power, authority, strength, ability, energy, destruction, balance, ratio, proportion, fate, luck, decree, to preordain, to reckon, to strain, to restrain or limit or restrict, to set measures etc etc.
This surah is named AL-QADR because the Quran keeps emphasising the vital importance of setting measures or values or limitations for set goals as guidelines for mankind to follow as a program, constitution and law of Allah for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of humanity. Random baseless beliefs and actions in the name of religion lead mankind nowhere other than terribly troublesome life. Short surahs are only emphasising points already explained in surahs dealing with the raised points in detail. Therefore study of complete Quranic text is necessary to realise the overall context and the sub-contexts that are dependent upon each other. This surah explains that doing things methodically and systematically cuts down time and effort as well as the painful suffering involved which in turn saves time and energy which then could be put to some other better use. The Quranic teaching is all about sufficiency and efficiency or proficiency and competence. It is way of life that ought to ensure proper management of human population and resources, production and distribution for the growth and prosperity of mankind.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Surely We have revealed the Quran for setting up measures to help mankind come through period of darkness of ignorance safely.
2] And who can help you the mankind understand what are the advantages for you in these set up measures for getting through the period of darkness of ignorance safely?
3] The set measures for getting through period of darkness of ignorance safely give you advantage that is better than struggling for the same end by way of warfare and destruction for a period of thousand months.
4] We let descend Our missionaries with authority of Our revelation for the benefit of mankind wherein is program of their Creator and Sustainer for them about each and every affair,
5] Peace, progress and prosperity is the target set for mankind, therefore is revealed the Quran so that thereby breaks the dawn of enlightenment through its proper understanding and implementation.
This surah explains the vital importance of revelation in general but in case of the Quran in particular. As explained already mankind can only learn through life experience and teachings. The self experience based way of learning is a very, very slow and very, very painful process for learning known as evolutionary process. The guidance from Allah cuts own the time, the effort and painful suffering thereby one can learn what one will learn in a thousand years in hours. The Quran wants to see mankind reach a stage of learning where at mankind could bring about a properly organised and self regulated human community that is free of all kind of problems and happy with its existence. In short Allah wants to see mankind a highly learned people who make Allah proud for being their creator and sustainer. It is because mankind are masterpiece of creativity of Allah.
Surah 98 AL-BAIYINAH–The clearly obvious solid foundation for mankind to build their proper human community upon
This surah is named AL-BAIYINAH from root BAA, YAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is manifestly clear to see as something distinct and different from anything else in some way. Something evident all by itself, clear, proof, distinctly obvious, something that is distinct from other things, separated, different, limit, speech, lecture, talk etc etc.
This surah is named AL-BAIYINAH because the Quran talks about solid foundation that is clear for people to see to live their lives by properly. Those who abide by foundation revealed by Allah for the human community faithfully reap the benefits for doing so in form of blissful and dignified life and those who oppose it fall in disputes and keep on fighting among themselves making life hell for each other because such people have nothing to base their sense of belonging upon. This will continue unless people see sense and change themselves for the better through carefully observing whatever is going on in the world and learning from it. One should have no difficulty in seeing the Quran approaches issues in a very systematic way and methodically.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Those who opposed living by rule of Allah from among the people given the book and those who took for rulers other than Allah were not going to give up their ways of life unless and until there came to them guidance manifest
2] by way of a messenger from Allah following pages of the scripture
3] wherein are written permanent universal goals for mankind to accomplish according to stated guidelines therein.
4] However those who were given the book before the Quran, disputed after the clear evidence had come to them due to their sticking to their make beliefs and baseless rituals.
5] They were advised nothing other than to abide by program, constitution and law of Allah committing themselves sincerely to His advised way of life and sticking to it faithfully by establishing the community network to attain freedom from all ills to help community grow and prosper because that is what they were told is the true establishment of Our advised way of life for the benefit of the mankind.
6] For this reason those who oppose set goals and guidelines of Allah from among the people of the book and those who take for rulers other than Allah remain in painful state of existence and they are to remain in that state for all their lives unless they stop living that way and adopt the advised way of life. Such people are most harmful and destructive of the creatures for humanity if they do not change themselves through learning for the better.
7] Surely those who commit to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and take actions to remove obstacle from the way of people to unity, peace, progress and prosperity are most constructive of the creatures.
8] The outcome of their actions according to set-up systems and laws of their Creator and Sustainer will be blissful kingdoms throughout which flow rivers of all things of their need and desire and they are to dwell therein for as long as they remain committed to rule of Allah for the benefit of humanity. Allah will be found consistent in supporting them with His plan and they will be found consistent in implementing His plan with their actions. That is the kind of life for any human community that is mindful of advice of its Creator and Sustainer and needs of each other.
Surah 99 AL-ZILZAAL-The final worldwide uprising by mankind for dislodging harmful and destructive ways of life in the world to replace them with a way of life based upon guidance of Allah for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind
This surah is named AL-ZILZAAL from root ZAA, LAAM, ZAA and LAAM. Already explained in detail but for reminder it means earthquake, shaking something violently to dislodge it from its position, revolution, revolt, upheaval etc etc.
This surah is named AL-ZILZAAL because the Quran explains what causes upheavals or bloody revolutions in human societies, how and why ie in order to replace those already in power or to replace the ways of life people no longer want to live by because they do not get what they need or desire. From these small changes will come a big change that will change everything for mankind for ever. That change is Quranic way of life because when mankind will have tried everything to live by and keep failing, they will come to their senses and accept the Quran as basis for proper way of life for mankind. Once this change occurs from then on all people will become satisfied with the way of life because it will deliver whatever they need and want provided they work for it according to the program, constitution and law given by Allah. All this because it is a proper program for meeting needs of mankind and its constitution provides perfect foundation for unity of mankind to begin with and its laws are fair and just that are helpful for a proper human community that wishes to self regulate itself towards unity, peace, progress and prosperity.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Consider the time when the uprising will hit this world and uproot each and every existing ruling system replacing it to its very core,
It is important to remember that Quranic verses have complementary parallel meanings. Moreover the statements in the Quran about uprising are condition based ie if mankind will not learn sense and carry on going in the harmful and destructive direction then a tipping point will be reach that such things will happen but if people will realise their mistakes and correct themselves somewhere along the way then what is told will happen will not happen. For example, if it is said to somebody that if you will take poison you will die but if you will not then you will not then one can see how this statement is going to work out ie if condition is met then whatever is based on condition is going to happen otherwise not.
2] that is how this world will get itself rid of its harmful and destructive heavy weights,
These heavy weights are rulers, mullahs and money lenders who bring in ruling systems and rules and laws that suit them at the expense of masses who are put through hell by their tricks and mechanisms put in place to keep them under their full control. These verses also mean that a time is going to come when mankind will explore the world and therefore the world will reveal its resources to mankind to benefit from. Mankind will keep surprising themselves by discovering newer and newer things for their use in the world that will help them progress further and further. In short when the Quranic verses are looked at from a social point of view they reveal one kind of explanation and when looked at in a political context they reveal another kind of explanation and when looked at in economic context they reveal yet another explanation but all these explanations complement each other and give us a complete picture of things despite use of the very same text. This is a highly creative construction of the Quranic text and highly sophisticated. Such a construction of the text cannot be expected of any human being even today never mind 1500 years back in time.
3] so the dominant arrogant man will ask himself, what is happening to this world?
Upheaval suddenly happen because any little thing can trigger them so rulers are taken by surprise because a little while earlier they saw all was quiet and ok before sudden break out of violence and riots etc. Same thing could happen in case of wars between countries ie anything could trigger world wars in no time.
4] In that period of time it will become manifest as to whatever has been happening in this world among mankind and why or how,
5] because your Creator and Sustainer set-up the world according to His revealed rule of cause and effect.
Things go wrong mainly because some people act without realising the consequences.
6] At that time people will feel obligated to proceed in accordance with program, constitution and law of Allah so that they are delivered outcomes of their hard works in full.
The new world order the Quran is talking about is self regulated human society based upon the guidance of Allah with everything worked out by people themselves as a huge family the members of which then follow received instructions to ensure they play their parts faithfully for their own progress, prosperity and security of existence.
7] So from then onwards whoever benefits others even in the least will see its result there in full,
8] and whoever harms others even in the least will see its effects in there in full as well.
Surah 100 AL-AADIYAAT-The history of mankind bears witness that it is personal gain or vested interest based way of life at the expense of humanity that causes divisions, rivalries, animosities and wars between mankind so change the way of life as advised to avoid this cycle of instability and bloody revolutions
This surah is named AL-AADIYAAT from roots AIN, DAAL and WOW/YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is wedge that is placed between two sides of a cracked wood to keep them apart. Other meanings of this root are animosity, hatred, strange, apart, enemy, opponent, adversary, steeds, horses, transgression, aggression, rivalry, injustice, infection, infectious, to go from one thing to another, change sides, two sides of a valley, rebellious, rebellion, to run, to pass, corruption, to boycott, calamity, to rob, to plunder, to loot, to attack, to assault etc etc.
This surah is named AL-AADIYAAT because the Quran talks about causes for divisions, rivalries, animosities, hatred, fights and wars within a human group or between groups. It is all based upon the main cause which is personal gain, greed or selfishness. These short surahs draw our attention to longer surahs wherein these causes have been explained in detail along with their outcomes. So if people want to get themselves rid of all these troublesome things then they have no choice but to adopt the way of life that is based upon the foundation provided by the Quran. One can see the Quran remains realistic throughout rather than talking about religious mumbo jumbo that makes no sense whatsoever. It is therefore very much obvious that this book being from God is all about humanity and resources and how mankind must organise and regulate themselves to be a worthy people rather than living like animals or even worse.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] We cite as evidence the rivalry based violent uprisings,
Word DABHAA is from root DWAD, BAA and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is the wild running of a horse with full strength. Other meanings are panting of a horse after it become tired after running, change of colour of something due to heat or hard work. Something that has run its course, something or an idea that no longer works or has run out of its usefulness. cinder, ashes, scorch, calls of foxes or owls or rabbits, lightly roasted meat, agitation, revolt, upheaval etc etc.
2] due to spreading of fires of hatred,
Word MOORIYAAT is from root MEEM, WOW and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is move briskly to and fro. Also to boil, to churn out eg high waves or flames or dusty winds etc, to swell, to spill over, to run or set or rise in succession, to contradict, to oppose, to rival, to pluck or take out, to contest, to put forth rival claim, to challenge, to confront, something happening frequently or repeatedly, instability, confusing or chaotic situation, softness, turning or revolving or evolving or changing state or situation, something or state or situation keeps coming back or keeps happening again and again etc etc.
Word QADHAN is from root QAAF, DAAL and HAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to criticise or cause or show fault in something. Other meanings are arrow, shaft, flint, steel, drinking cup, to strike or ignite fire, to cause sparks to fly or spread, to bore, to pierce, to censure, to reproach etc etc.
3] whereby things are pushed towards change or a new start,
If people will not bother to learn how to live their lives properly then laws of nature will deliver outcomes of people’s actions and reactions. It is because if one people will do wrong to others then another people will rise up and do the same to them and gradually by slapping each other mankind will force each other to a way of life that will be acceptable to all sides involved in the conflict. Is it not then better to not to live like animals and try to be real human beings that have brains and use them properly? However people seldom bother to learn sense unless they are forced into a situation to do so by each other. This is a very bad to live by because it is very damaging and slow and involves a lot of painful suffering for humanity. So why not avoid it by giving importance to education and learning about real world realities and divine guidance?
4] while leaving a trail behind for people to come to learn from it,
5] that is how become arranged forces against each other
6] when man does not respect advice of his Creator and Sustainer
7] and surely he himself bears evidence to this fact by his own actions,
8] because he violates Our program, constitution and law in his hot pursuit of personal gains in form of power and wealth at the expense of living his life as a part of a proper human community.
9] But why is he not learning to become aware that in time a lot more treasures hidden in the universe will become discovered if he worked for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind?
If people learn sense and become wise and work together it only add up in the human force and things can be made to happen quicker with more help in thoughts and actions.
10] Moreover in due course beneficial or harmful intentions and motives in the minds of people for or against each other will become manifest through their own actions for or against each other,
This is a very important point that it is not possible for mankind to hide their true intentions from each other because they are going to motivate them into actions and those actions will either benefit or harm others therefore it will become obvious for all to see who is their friend and who is their enemy. So why try to cheat and deceive each other? We may be able to fool some of us for some of the time but not all of us for all the time. You only harvest what you sow.
11] surely their Creator and Sustainer will bring them round to realise all this the day they learn to understand His advice.
Allah has explained everything for mankind in his book but man will have to learn to reach the stage of its proper understanding but how long will that take is up to mankind themselves. The sooner the people get down to learning the quicker they can get to where they need to be. The less they bother will learning the more time they will have to live the way they are living.
Surah 101 AL-QAARIAH–The worldwide bloody revolution that will take place if mankind do not stop using and abusing each other and start living by way of life they are advised by Allah
This surah is named AL-QAARIAH from root QAAF, RAA and AIN. Concrete meaning of this root is to smash one thing into another. It also means boldness, to knock the door, to hit one on the head with a stick, to strike one stone with another, to raise one people against another, upheaval, tumult, clamour, uprising, revolt, to break stones with hammer, difficulty, hardship, troublesome, problematic, calamity, destruction, war, fight, pumpkin, reproach, confrontation, to cast a lot, disaster, adversity, hardship, calamity etc etc.
This surah is named AL-QAARIAH because the Quran talks about upheavals and uprisings that result from use and abuse or oppression and suppression of some people by others throughout human history. All because some people try to control others by controlling land and resources, means of production and distribution. Selfishness and personal greed for manpower and wealth leads to serious divisions in mankind and when people become us and them the only way they try to sort out their differences is by trying to overcome each other through internal or external tricks and mechanisms including conspiracies and wars. This leads to a complete change in political and economic landscape. So the Quran is warning people about bloody revolutions unless they use their heads and unite on basis of wisdom expressed in the Quran in light of universal realities. Even in case of bloody revolutions masses only support those who have some credibility in their eyes locally or nationally. However the Quran explains both kinds of revolutions the bloody revolutions as well as education based revolutions that were brought about by the divine messengers. But the ultimate revolution is not going to be anything like the past revolutions because it is going to be at a massive scale be it triggered by small local uprisings.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] The terrible revolt!
2] What is the terrible revolt?
3] And what will explain to you the mankind what the terrible revolt is?
4] It is the time when masses become like scattered moths in state of chaotic agitation.
5] because the anchors of the community prove worthless like puffed up wool without weight.
6] At that time he whose scale of goodness for well being of others is found heavy by masses,
7] he will have the pleasure of the masses.
In other words a time will come when people will become consistent with divine will as well as with each other.
8] However he whose scale of goodness for others is found light,
9] he will have to live in anxiety.
Word HAAVIAH is from root HAA, WOW and YAA. Concrete meaning of this root is confused state of mind. Also wind, thought, desire, state of helplessness, having no foundation, identity crisis, mental state of chaos and confusion, worry and regret, be in state of panic, suffer from anxiety etc etc.
10] And what will explain to you the mankind, what this anxiety is?
11] It is a state of existence in agonising suffering due to worries and regrets one will have.
This surah explains the fact that as time passes and people interact with each other they will come to realise who is who and what he is doing and why therefore some people will lose support of masses and others will gain support of masses and so a time will come for one or the other kind of revolution that will change the world for ever. If things turned really ugly before they right for better then there is going to be terrible violence between victims and perpetrators of crimes against them ie it going to be revengeful riot at a huge scale and that will bring terrible worries and regret for those who will have done such things to others and would have brought this situation upon themselves. However all this could be avoided if people learn sense and start living the way they are advised by their ceator and sustainer.
Surah 102 AL-TAKAASUR-The outcome of negative competition against each other for more and more personal gains at the expense of a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah is division, rivalry, animosity, hatred and war
This surah is named AL-TAKAASUR from root KAAF, SAA and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is plentiful or abundant in quantity or amount. Also it means many, to happen frequently, to increase in quantity or amount or size or weight etc, to gather or hoard, to take pride in children or wealth, river, to be rich, to outnumber or outdo etc etc.
This surah is named AL-TAKAASUR because the Quran talks about people competing against each other negatively trying to beat each other in having manpower and wealth. This idea of personal gains at the expense of community life based upon advice of Allah leads to all sorts of divisions, rivalries, animosities and fights and even major wars and the end result is harm and destruction of humanity in different ways. This is the main reason for break down in human relationships between individuals and groups and a major cause of trust deficit between people. It is a major obstacle in the way of unity of mankind and peaceful existence because each and every person and nation tries to overrun or over take the weaker people. It is the way people try to undermine each other as individuals and as groups so the world becomes worse and worse instead of better and better. The Quran tries to make people think as to where they are heading or where all this is going to land humanity. However the time will come when people will be forced by their self created circumstances to get out of the hell of their own making and that is when the Quranic message will strike accord with mankind and help them save themselves from total destruction by hands of each other if people do not become sensible through giving due importance to proper education and learning.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] O mankind, you have fallen into negative competition for controlling each other through land and resources, means of production and distribution
2] so much so that you are driving each other to destruction.
3] But not for long because soon you will come face to face with results of doing all this to each other,
4] For sure, soon you will come to see the result of doing all this to each other.
5] The fact is, if you will bother to learn and understand the provided information properly to secure your blissful and dignified existence then you will also learn from experiences of others who are already in this situation that what you are told will come true.
6] If you will not bother to learn and do what is proper for you then you will certainly see the hell of your own making by personally experiencing it,
7] Certainly in that case you will see all this happening to you personally by your own eyes
8] it is then that you people will inquire of each other at the time regarding the blissful and dignifying program of Allah in form of the Quran to get yourselves out of this situation to land into blissful and dignified existence.
This surah is very powerful in its expression because it makes people journey through how things are going to become changed in this world for the betterment of mankind. If people do not follow guidance through learning it properly then the life experience of people will force them into educating themselves. It is very true that people who fool about or show laziness suddenly get up and go when life forces then to do things because then the choice is only life or death. Sensible people never wait for that situation to get up and do things rather they do them because they see sense in doing so.
Surah 103 AL-ASR-A short history of mankind as told in the Quran for reflection of humanity to learn some lessons from and get on with what needs to be done
This surah is named AL-ASR from root AIN, SWAD and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is an account of a period of time. Also it means era, time, later time, period, the afternoon, to be a contemporary, to wring, to stick with something, to squeeze, to be of required age for some purpose, hurricane, storm, whirlwind, cyclone, blast, rain clouds etc etc.
This surah is named AL-ASR because the Quran talks about philosophy of history and therefore tells stories of human communities and how they got on with life in their time as a people. The Quran points out their stories as evidences that people should observe to learn lessons from. The short surahs seem to take people back to longer surahs in the Quran which contain more information about what these short surah talk about. Here people are told that most of the time most of the people lived by their own chosen ways of life based upon personal gains and that only those who were thoughtful enough to look for guidance from Allah were able to live better lives as proper human communities but even they only lived along that path for short periods of time because their later generations forgot what the divine guidance was all about and so they stepped aside from it and went their own ways. The same is case with current Muslim ummah that they are followers of the Quran only in name because a huge majority of them cannot even read Arabic never mind understand the Quran which also needs better understanding of universal realities. This shows why ummah is in the situation that it is and how it can be dragged out of this situation ie by self help of individuals who want to live by guidance of Allah through learning and teaching each other. In short there is no future for ummah unless people educate themselves and become wise enough to know the Quran properly and teach it to others properly and wait for mankind to come together as a human brotherhood on basis of solid foundation provided by Allah for mankind.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] We cite as evidence the history of mankind
2] that mankind always chose to live the harmful and destructive way
3] save those who committed themselves to working for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind and did everything to put things right for their human community to help it develop and prosper so they joined together for the right purpose and worked hard constantly and steadfastly to achieve it.
This surah tells mankind the way to success in a nutshell.
Surah 104 AL-HUMAZZAH–The consequences for human societies that base themselves upon personal gains at the expense of each other
This surah is named AL-HUMAZZAH from root HAA, MEEM and ZAA. Concrete meaning of this root is setting up things against each other for some purpose. It also means to prod, to poke, to push, to prick, to squeeze, to spur, to goad on, to insinuate, to inspire with harmful and destructive thoughts, to backbite, to set people against one another, to suck blood, to act like a leech, to take away from others what belongs to them by deception or trick, to cause disputes or fights or wars between people, to inspire or set up rivalries, to inspire divisions or animosities, to conspire, to defame, to slander, harmful and destructive prompting etc etc.
This surah is named AL-HUMAZZAH because the Quran keeps telling mankind repeatedly that personal gain based societies always end up divided and rivalries soon turn to animosities and hatred turns people into warmongers and that is how whole societies become engulfed into fire of hatred and end up consumed entirely at times. So if any people want to save themselves from all this then they should instead turn to way of life advised by Allah.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Bad news for future of every bloodsucker and warmonger
2] who amasses power and wealth inappropriately for personal gains at the expense of human community and keeps it ready for using it for gathering more,
3] because he thinks that his gathering of wealth this way will give him security of existence for generations.
4] By no means instead his plans will surely be thrown into upheaval and turmoil in due course.
5] What will make you understand what upheaval and turmoil is?
6] It is the fire of hatred between people that set-up systems and laws of Allah make obvious for mankind in due course
7] such fire that will consume the very being of such people,
8] it is closing in upon them from every side
9] spreading in huge columns of flames to engulf them.
This surah tells mankind the reasons for which they compete against each other and are told that these reasons are not good for mankind themselves and that in time all dynasties come to an end as the history of mankind stands witness to it. Many kings and emperors are dead and gone and there dynasties are gone and so will be case with rest of them and the only thing that will last is human community that will be based upon guidance of Allah.
Surah 105 AL-FEEL–The dire consequences for nations living on the basis of personal gains at the expense of each other instead of living by way of life advised by their creator and sustainer
This surah is named AL-FEEL from root FAA, YAA and LAAM. Concrete meaning of this root is weakness of a structure or body. It also means elephant, pachyderm, white elephant, an albino Indian elephant, a highly valuable thing, something or someone that is big in size or weight or power or value etc, over stretched or over burdened organisation or society or community, a population that cannot manage its people and resources, a people who lack wisdom, a people who give or are given bad advice or counsel, to rebuke, to confront or oppose, a visible symbol representing an abstract idea, a rare or expensive possession that is a financial burden to maintain, something of dubious origin or of limited value, an article or ornament or household utensil no longer wanted by its owner, an endeavour or venture that proves to be a conspicuous failure, an elaborate venture or construction etc that proves useless, a rare or valuable possession the upkeep of which is very expensive, a possession unwanted by the owner but difficult to dispose of, a possession entailing great expense out of proportion to its value to the owner, an animal that has enormous appetite or has become too mean or has become useless or has become an expensive possession to keep, a possession that is more trouble than it is worth etc etc.
This surah is named AL-FEEL because the Quran is full of stories about past people who lived their lives on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other whereby they made weakest of their people suffer terribly. In time the end result was their mutual destruction as a people, due to divisions they created among themselves out of rivalries and animosities that resulted from the way of life they adopted for themselves. The stories in the Quran are for general awareness to help people think how they should live so that they do not end up like people of the past who inflicted harm and destruction upon each other and thereby drove themselves out of existence. AS-HAABIL FEEL not only means people who own elephant but also a people who adopt a burdensome way of life as if one is keeping an elephant or carrying it on one’s back. It is about masses who carry burden of rulers, mullahs and money lenders. These are their expensive elephants to keep. To sustain and maintain these elites is not an easy thing for any human population in the world. The divine message exposes the tricks and mechanisms rulers, mullahs and money lenders use to fool their masses and that is why they try their best to oppose the divine revelation and try to mask its true message because that way they can keep their ignorant, illiterate and uneducated masses isolated from becoming aware of things which could endanger continuity of these elites ie the rulers, mullahs and money lenders.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Why do you the mankind not considered how set-up systems and laws of your Creator and Sustainer delivered to the people outcome of their own actions who adopted a way of life that was crushingly burdensome for them?
In this verse word FEEL does not mean actual elephant the animal but a way of life that people create and adopt for themselves as a population. This verse is explaining how set-up systems and laws of Allah deal with people who accept to live by this way of life ie on basis of personal gains at the expense of each other. The rulers, mullahs and money lenders trick them into this way of life and they accept it but then after a while they realise that rulers, mullahs and money lenders are a very heavy burden upon them to carry or live with because under its weight they face more and more hardship and problems and those problems finally destroy them as a people. It is a crushing burden for mankind to live under such ways of life where each person is fighting all the others not just for survival but for dominance and control and that is why Allah sent his messengers with guidance to help remove all these crushing hardships and difficulties by a way of life that makes life worth living because it ties all people into a brotherhood that is supposed to share burden of life rather than putting more and more pressure on each other on top of livelihood problems. See 7/157 for example. Negative competition increases problems many folds for individuals where as positive completion deceases problems many folds. Think about how many people you are up against in a negative competition and how many people are supporting you in positive competition. In one way of life you are fighting with all people to get what you want and in the other all are at your service to help you get what you need. There is huge difference in having loads of enemies in life and having loads of friends. This is the difference between the Quranic way of life and the rest.
2] Did He not forewarn them that all their scheming against His guidance will come to nothing?
3] By letting rain down upon them results of their own actions bundles upon bundles,
Word TAIR is from root TWAA, YAA and RAA, already explained bad news or problem as well as plan or bird or flying object etc.
Word ABAABEEL is from root ALIF, BAA and LAAM. It means camel, a small bird, bundles of something etc etc.
4] striking them down as if with huge hailstones,
5] that is how His set-up systems and laws let them end up like an empty field of stalk and straw of which the grain has been eaten up.
This surah tells mankind stay away from burdensome ways of life or wait for the outcome for adopting such ways of life in due course.
Surah 106 AL-QURAISH-Need for mutual cooperation and agreement between mankind regarding land and resources and means of production and distribution so that they could work with each other for their blissful and dignified existence
This surah is named AL-QURAISH from root QAAF, RAA and SHEEN. Concrete meaning of this root is to hoard things of need or value. It also means shark, predator, beautiful, trader, gathering, to make a living, to crunch, to fracture, to gnash, to stab, to duel, to partake food sparsely, to earn money, to shrink, powerful, strong, little shark, trickster, custodians of kaabah, people who act together in some respect, people who participate in same thing, people who cooperate with each other in some sense for some purpose, occurring or growing or settled at widely spaced intervals ie not thickly or densely, a people by name of Quraish in Makkah in Arabia etc etc.
The surah is named AL-QURAISH because the Quran talks about mutual cooperation between individuals and nations for various reasons and thereby shows importance of covenants and treaties etc. Since agreements between people are of such vital importance according to people themselves for so many people in so many different ways then what better reason people have to reject the main agreement template that has come from Allah for them and serves their purpose better than their own personal drawn up agreements between themselves? The Quran makes it absolutely clear that mankind cannot survive without cooperating with each other and people also think the same then what is holding them back from forming a brotherhood and working together for the ends told in the Quran according to clearly stated guidelines? Have people any better goals or guidelines than those stated in the Quran? If they have them then where are they and if they do not have them then why don’t they accept the Quran as basis and unite as a brotherhood of humanity and get on with what needs to be done instead of wasting time in arguing over irrelevant things?
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] For thousands of people who mutually cooperate with each other,
2] their agreements are important because thereby they negotiate their livelihood in winter as well as summer,
3] For that reason they should be consistent with the Provider of this program, constitution and law
Word BAIT already explained that it not only means a house in actual physical sense but a house that secures life of people in form of a structure for living one’s life. One should always remember that the verses of the Quran carry complementary meanings within the very same text. The administrative houses are called MASAAJID which carry out the administrative works at local, provincial or national level. BAITULLAH means house of Allah or a structure for a way of life provided by Allah as well as a place which is assigned duties to carry out by the ummah that follows the Quranic way of life.
4] Who bestows them with livelihood even in difficult situations or places difficult to reach and thereby gives them freedom from worry of starvation and war.
This surah explains vital importance of a proper program, constitution and law for mankind to build or structure their community life upon. People who realise importance of their own agreements why do they ignore something much more important than that? That is rule based upon guidance of their creator and sustainer.
Surah 107 AL-MAOON-The teaching of the Quran is a way of life based upon mutual cooperation for the welfare of human community but those who work for personal gains at the expense of masses oppose such a way of life
This surah is named AL-MAOON from roots AIN, WOW and NOON and MEEM, AIN and NOON, and AIN, YAA and NOON. Concrete meaning of this root is mutual cooperation. Other meanings include working for well being of each other, being neighbourly or helpful. Following agreed goals according to set out guidelines to ensure things are running smoothly like constantly flowing channel of water, to be committed to a cause, sweet, confess, running water, utensils, assistance, property, settled dwelling, eye, spring, eyesight, aid, spy, a group of brothers, notables, to injure, large beautiful eyes, to make sure, to ascertain, heard of zebras, tall palm-tree, be in a middle state, be middle aged, to back up, to aid or help, help one another or cooperate etc etc.
This surah is named AL-MAOON because the Quran talks about brotherhood and unity of mankind and that requires mutual cooperation of people. So if people are going to unite and cooperate then organisation and regulation is inevitable and so program, constitution and law become a necessity. This surah is therefore bringing in all these points together in a nutshell but it also exposes hypocrisy of those who say one thing and do another in order to undermine human spirit for cooperation for mutual benefits.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Why do you the mankind not observe to learn lessons from outcomes of its actions a population that denies benefits of Our advised way of life to itself?
Word AL-DEEN is from root DAAL,YAA and NOON. Already explained but for reminder it means way of life. A way of life can only be that which deals with issues related to human living in this world. This is why any actions taken in the name of DEEN have outcomes which are good or bad. So bad outcomes for humanity come from bad ways of life and good outcomes for humanity come from good way of life. So people who refuse to live by advised way of life by Allah are bound to end up hurting themselves and that hurt will become obvious in due course to a people. This is how the Quran proves its truth by telling mankind the results of their actions based upon their adopted ways of life.
2] Because of that such a people fall victim to isolation from each other
3] as they do not encourage dignified provision of livelihood for those who become stuck for livelihood among them.
4] Bad news is for future of such people who are connected with each other this way,
5] those who neglect and refuse to shoulder their responsibilities towards each other as a proper human community,
6] such as help others just for show off to undermine others,
7] because in actual fact they oppose the idea of mutual cooperation therefore they discourage sharing with others even the necessities of life.
This surah explains importance of community life for mankind because without it things will grind to a halt in due course and humanity will have to go though terrible painful suffering because that is the end result of actions of negative competition based populations wherein people live for themselves instead of looking after each other.
Surah 108 AL-KAUTHAR-The program, constitution and law of Allah is for greatest possible benefit of mankind therefore any other way of life can only hinder and limit human progress and prosperity
This surah is named AL-KOUSAR from root KAAF, SAA and RAA. It has been explained already but for reminder it means something that is plentiful or abundant in size or quantity or amount or is of high quality or standard etc.
This surah is named AL-KOUSAR because the Quran talks about a program, a constitution and a law that will ensure mankind have a blissful existence due to unity, peace, progress and prosperity. Islam is all about a proper human community that is properly organised and self regulated so that it manages people and resources properly so that humanity as a whole is united, peaceful and progressive so that it ends up with abundance of things of its need and want for its blissful and dignified existence. Unless people educate themselves about all this properly and do as told faithfully they can never be free of their self created troubles and therefore painful suffering at their own hands. In other words life is what mankind make it by their own thoughts and actions and guidance from Allah can help mankind think properly and work properly so that outcome of all this is worth the effort.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Indeed, We have blessed you the mankind with a program, constitution and law for unity, peace, progress and prosperity in abundance.
2] So follow strictly the guidance of your Creator and Sustainer and sacrifice your comfort for the welfare of the mankind.
3] It is only the opponent of your well being O mankind who will be barring himself for the worst from Our program, constitution and law for peace, progress and prosperity of mankind.
This surah is explaining what the Quran is all about ie for the abundant benefits of mankind and any other way of life adopted by people will not be able to deliver for mankind as much as the Quranic way of life and it will lead to ample painful suffering over a very long period of time. This is why mankind must wake up to the message of the Quran if they wish to be a community of caring and sharing people instead of living life like senseless animals in a jungle.
Surah 109 AL-KAAFIROON–A clear warning for mankind to choose a way of life that leads to a blissful and dignified outcome instead of any other way of life that lands them into painful suffering
This surah is named AL-KAAFIROON from root KAAF, FAA and RAA. It has been explained already but just to remind it means the one who refuses to submit to will of Allah and instead decides to oppose it by going his own way. It also means hide, conceal, cover, reject, refuse, deny, differ, dispute, protect, shield, oppose, control, ungrateful, infidel, unfaithful, disloyal, traitor, nonbeliever, unbeliever, nonMuslim etc etc.
This surah is named AL-KAAFIROON because the Quran has explained already what is the advised way of life for mankind from Allah that will lead them to blissful and dignified existence so it is time for making a choice, how a people want to go about living their lives. It makes the differences between two distinct ways of life absolutely clear for all people who follow them or are affected by them. The way of life advised by Allah leads to blissful and dignified life and all the ways other than that lead to painful suffering. The reason is that one way of life is based upon idea of community building and maintaining for the benefit of all its individuals ie on the idea of all people living for betterment of each other but any other ideology is based upon personal gains at the expense of each other which therefore lead to terrible life as things get from bad to worse in time to come. Personal gains lead to divisions, rivalries and animosities through jealousy that leads to mutual hatred and so people end up in fights and wars destroying everything for each other instead of building things for each other. Therefore Islam versus Kufr is made absolutely distinct and it is up to people themselves to educate themselves about all this and follow whatever they like and get ready for whatever outcome they will have to face in due course for making the choice and following it through. It is this whole thing that decides who is a Muslim and who is a KAAFIR. Mere declaration that I am a Muslim is not enough rather one has to prove it by one’s mindset, attitude and behaviour. It is a full package that you take it as a whole or you do not take it at all. The outcome will prove whatever way you have chosen to go. Word ABD does not mean worship in the Quranic context but acting as a subject or citizen of a state based upon guidance from Allah or abiding by a program, constitution and law of Allah. The idea expressed in the Quran is that a man of God abides by his rule in his kingdom not by rule of any other than Allah. This is exactly what one is declaring when one says I bear witness that LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH ie there is no God=ruler/sovereign in this kingdom of the universe other than Allah.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Say, O you the people who oppose abiding by program, constitution and law of Allah without any due consideration!
2] I will not abide by way of life that you abide by because it inflicts harm and destruction upon humanity
3] yet you will not abide by program, constitution and law of Allah even when it is for your own unity, peace, progress and prosperity.
4] However I will never abide by your way of life because it divides humanity setting up rivalries and animosities between mankind for petty personal gains
5] yet you will not abide by program, constitution and law of Allah even when it is for your own development and growth.
6] But be prepared for the outcome of your way of life as I am prepared for the outcome of my way of life in due course.
This surah explains how the truth of this message can be decided between the opposing parties regarding this message ie by carrying on with adopted ways of life and then seeing which way things are going ie are thing turning out better or worse with time? A very strong slap on face of mullahs who have put this so called Muslim ummah on the path of losers by turning Quranic way of life into a make belief mumbo jumbo and useless ritualism. The outcome of which is obvious for world all over to see and in this case it is not difficult to see the winners and the losers. Time for Muslims to become proper Muslims as per teaching of the Quran by kicking mullahs along with their self made Islam in opposition to actual Islam to confuse ummah.
The question is, is loss of name sake Muslims actual proof of falsehood of the Quran? Not really because the Quranic challenge is not what way of life a people adopt in the name of Islam in their ignorance but about proper understanding of the Quranic message and then putting it into practice properly and then comparing the outcomes. Since Muslims have lost the proper sense of Islamic way of life and whatever way they are living by is not proper Islam therefore all Muslims and nonMuslims are all the same. In fact, on the face of it nonMuslims are doing better than name sake Muslims. As explained already in detail if people do not have proper understanding of a program then how can they be expected to carry it out properly? So there is no contest because the game is not played according to rules. Of course it is time for people who claim to be Muslims to put their thinking caps on if they wish to prove the Quran is truly from Allah by outcome of their actions. Muslims must rise to challenge or be damned for ever. If they must, they should get rid of rulers, mullahs and money lenders from between themselves and create the Muslim brotherhood in its true sense as explained by the Quran itself.
Surah 110 AL-NASR–The revelation of Allah is sent to help mankind to be a proper human community that secures for itself blissful and dignified life in this world
This surah is named AL-NASAR from root NOON, SWAD and RAA. Already explained but for reminder it means having the farm ready for rain to do its part for raising crops. Just as rain helps grow food in the field that is already prepared for this purpose so divine revelation helps mankind grow in unity, peace, progress and prosperity if they have already prepared themselves for benefiting from it. It also means support, assistance, aid etc etc.
This surah is named AL-NASR because it talks about how Allah aids learning of mankind through his guidance so that they could bring about a human community that is sufficiently efficient to take care of human population in a dignified way by proper use of resources made available to it by the creator and sustainer of the universe. This learning is needed on top of self awareness and wider universal awareness but those who fail to become self aware or aware about universal realities cannot benefit from this guidance or help. The guidance by Allah is like a light that shines on a path to help one move along in safety but if one is blind then that light is useless for him. The given brain and senses do not need divine revelation for self awareness and awareness about universal realities but once one reaches the level of learning whereat one looks for further guidance that is the stage when one searches for the truth properly and finds it. If one does not prepare oneself for that stage then one remain as one is ie unaware and confused. So guidance from Allah only opens the door to wider awareness for those who are already on the ladder of becoming further aware about things. You can only teach higher level of things to those who have reached the level needed for that purpose already. This is why this surah is as if saying, O mankind behold, there has come to you help from Allah in form of knowledge to help you become aware widely. So when each of you see people accepting proposal for a way of life in crowds after crowds then work hard to manifest glory of Allah by bringing about that way of life based community in a kingdom for your own security and dignified existence. So one should have no difficulty in knowing what the Quran is all about. It is a two way communication ie between God and mankind. Any question mankind have in their minds they should look for its answer in the Quran and they will find it provided they have educated themselves to the level of understanding the Quran properly.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Behold O mankind, there has come for you help of Allah in form of His guidance to flung open the door to enlightenment for how you should live your lives
2] so you should see to it that people come to support the way of life advised by Allah in multitudes
3] therefore work hard to manifest glory of way of life advised by your Creator and Sustainer by establishing His rule in His kingdom to overcome all problems to secure dignified and blissful life for mankind. Surely He is ever ready to turn to people to help them through His revealed program, constitution and law.
This surah explains what is meant by help of Allah in the Quranic context. It only means guidance from Allah for people so that they study it properly to understand it properly and then share it with each other to help each other understand it properly so that people are mentally convinced for its truth and workability and support each other for its implementation to become a properly organised human community that is self regulated out of its conviction due to being fully conscious of its responsibilities towards each other. This is how mankind can fulfil their goals set by Allah for them according to guidelines given to them by Allah. This is a program, constitution and law all in one for proper management of human population and land and resources as well as means of production and distribution for the growth and prosperity of humanity as a proper human community based upon guidance from Allah.
Surah 111 AL-LAHAB–The way of life invented, adopted, supported and promoted by rulers, priests and money lenders has no future because it gives rise to fire of hatred between mankind which leads to harm and destruction of humanity
This surah is named AL-LAHAB from root LAAM, HAA and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is tongue of fire. Also flame, radiance, hunger, thirst, blaze, raging fire, the one with fiery temper, extreme anger, filled with rage, beautiful, the one worthy of going to hell, the hate monger, the one who causes rage or ignites fire of hatred, conspirator etc etc.
This surah is named AL-LAHAB because it deals with hatred that is spread by rulers, priests, money lenders their helpers and supporters through ways of life they invent and promote which lead to divisions, rivalries and animosities because they are based upon foundation of personal gains at the expense of a way of life that leads to proper human community. It is said that such ways of life will come to an end and their inventers and promoters will never live in peace due to harbouring harmful and destructive ambitions and desires and ultimately the way of life advised by Allah will prevail.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] The rule of father of hate mongering will vanish and so will perish such a one himself!
2] His wealth and all that he gains will secure him not.
3] Soon will he himself suffer the painfully agonising existence,
4] and so will his following, the follower of myths and make beliefs
5] which will be like a rope of palm-leaf fibre around its neck unless it accepts rule of Allah.
This surah explains the reality of way of life which rulers, priests and money lenders invent, support and promote by all ways and means at their disposal. Allah is telling mankind that this is not the proper way for mankind to live by because it does not lead to unity therefore peaceful living to bring opportunity for mankind to make progress and prosper. The power struggle between rulers and masses is part of human history and still continues whereby masses struggle to secure rights for themselves from establishment. It is a very slow process and involves a lot of bloodshed and painful suffering for a lot of people. Had people learned the message of Allah and came together to form a proper human community, it will have helped them in a big way however it is up to people themselves to choose how they want to live and how they want to change their world for the better but the truth is they have no solid foundation unless they accept the Quran as basis for their struggle because only guidance from Allah can provide mankind the needed secure foundation.
Surah 112 AL-IKHLAS-The concept about ultimate reality as a foundation for a united human community that is free of use and abuse of each other
This surah is named AL-IKHLAAS from root KHAA, LAAM and SWAAD. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is pure ie free of all impurities or foreign elements. Something that does not contain what does not belong to it as its part. A person cannot be sincere if one’s mind is all over the place ie if one is confused due to various contradictory or flawed thoughts, sincerity, unadulterated, something in particular, something special, selected, chosen, distinct, separate, free of chaos or confusion or doubt etc etc.
This surah is named AL-IKHLAAS but word IKHLAAS is not even used in the surah at all. It proves the fact that surahs are not named for sake of it by randomly picking out a word from within a surah and sticking it up as a name for the surah. There is definite purpose to it. So what is purpose of using word Ikhlaas as name of this surah? Unless one tries to understand the contents of the surah properly in context of the Quran it is not possible to explain it. The context of the Quran tells us that universe has a creator and sustainer and that he created this kingdom for his own purpose and that purpose cannot be understood and fulfilled unless people use their provided things properly. It all begins with human mind that man must use his brain and senses to become aware of himself and aware of all the rest of things with which one is created to interact for realising the need for revelation and its proper understanding and acting upon it for his own peace, development and security. Unless one has reached that level of thinking through observing and learning things one is only an animal like other animals or even worse if one thinks there is no purpose to all this universe and creation of humanity. If one thinks rationally one will realise that coming about of anything into being is impossible unless something is already existing. It is because cause and effect chain can only go so far back in time. Because creation is already there and cause and effect chain cannot go back in time forever therefore existence of some being cannot be denied. If one supposes that universe came out of nothingness without any creator then that is rationally impossible and even in real life it never happened that something came into being out of nothingness. So it stands to reason that an ever existing being does exists.
What is the case against existence of such a being? The case is nonsense religious make beliefs whereby people have been manipulated by each other but was that fault of humanity itself or its creator? A careful critical look at humanity itself will prove to oneself that it was humanity that was at fault because it did not pay attention to its individuals who manipulated divine guidance and so it has been paying the price and it will continue doing so till it sorts its own self created mess. Due to lack of understanding of things (which people ought to know by observing things and learning from them for themselves properly because they have been given such powerful brains, senses and bodies to do exactly that) some people were able to use and abuse others using whatever tricks and techniques they could come up with to use against each other. This in itself shows that mankind are very powerful creatures the way they manipulate each other. All they needed to do was question rulers, mullahs and money lenders etc and the truth would have become known. Now those people are less in numbers who use and abuse others for their personal gains at the expense of human race and those who are used and abused are much greater in their numbers so no way the manipulators could get away with what they are doing to humanity as a whole. Why are people not protesting against the tricks, systems and mechanism these people have set–up for using and abusing them instead of blaming their creator and sustainer? Why they did not stop these people from manipulating the divine scriptures by taking interest in them and studying them properly by themselves? If man has brain that can help him land on the moon then why cannot that brain figure out who is doing what and why in this game of use and abuse of humanity? Does it not then come down to the fact that humanity itself is not really interested in finding out about what is really going on in the world? So the case against existence of creator and sustainer is a falsehood by mankind themselves to mask their own dirty games against each other. Due to deliberate manipulative misinterpretations of divine scripture people are giving their creator and sustainer a bad name which is not causing any harm to him but to themselves as billions of them suffer and do not take steps to educate themselves despite all this.
This surah is telling mankind that being who revealed this message is there and that he is unique in the sense that he is only one of his kind and that he is the one upon whom depends all that exists yet he depends upon none for his existence and sustenance. It is therefore in the interest of humanity itself if it basis its human society upon his guidance to save itself from all sorts of troubles it creates for itself. The Quran is therefore basis for a proper human community and avoiding the Quran and thinking people can create better world is only an unreal dream or a false hope because if that had been possible the Quran would have been proven false long ago. The Quran tells that there is no way to blissful and dignified life other than the way told in the Quran and if people will care to examine the contents of the Quran and human history they will find the Quran has proven true for last 1400 plus years and it will keep on proving true forever because its program, constitution and legal framework makes perfect sense on the paper. So only sincere learned people can be supporters of the Quran not rulers, priests and money lenders or their procurers who play their dirty games and that is what is going to ruin them as told in the Quran very clearly. Religions are clearly false because they portray the creator of humanity in a very bad light which helps dirty game players instead of decent human beings. This is why the Quran puts forth a proper concept about God and the concept about the proper way of life for mankind if they wish to be secure and prosperous therefore free of worries and anxiety. So this surah is all about purity of creator and purity of creation free from all sorts of make belief and actions based upon them.
The Quran is challenging religious make beliefs and false concepts about God and false reasons for creation of the universe and existence of mankind. It totally disapproves concept of a dirty God who is a tyrant and who has no set way of doing things or dealing with things. A God who is a moody being and who says and does things randomly that make no sense whatsoever. It is because religious people have created Gods for themselves on models of tyrannical human rulers and because people of religious mindset, attitude and behaviour are used to nonsense therefore the Quranic message does not make sense to them and the problem is likewise for the scientist and other educated people because they come from the very same religious backgrounds so they think the Quran is same as what they had been brought up with. It is a case of once bitten twice shy ie they are taking their one bad experience in their lives to make all the rest of their life decisions based on that which is not the proper way to go. Had they instead questioned their priests and studied their scriptures themselves in their original texts they would have learned a lot of better things than living confused for all their lives and even dying confused. That only proves their education was not up to scratch because it did not help them guide themselves to certainty that was always staring them in the face.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Saying, He is Allah the only one of His kind who has sole right to rule the universe by virtue of being its creator and sustainer.
2] Allah is eternal and absolute.
3] He begets not so none can inherit His kingdom nor is He begotten so he did not inherit this kingdom from anyone else,
4] because none is like unto Him therefore He is only one of His kind, the sole ruler of this universe.
This surah explains things about Allah and his relationship with mankind. It is not a relationship based on kith and kin but ideological. In relationships based upon reproduction processes thing only reproduce things almost like themselves ie they are carbon copies of each other. This is how things live on in their future generations. This is not the case with Allah because his survival is not at stake. What is at stake is his will to express himself and its recognition by something else other than himself. So in a way Allah has the urge as a living being to produce something that is somewhat like him in some sense. This is why he ended up creating mankind something like himself ie a mini creator in his own right provided he is given all the necessary tools and materials. This is how ideological relationship is formed between Allah as a God and the human beings as his creatures that have intellectual capacity like that of Allah himself to a small degree. This is why Allah has provided mankind with tools and materials and guidance to show their creative capacity and capability. This is why the first step in this process for mankind is to become self aware then explore the universal realities to become aware of them and then use provided guidance to form a proper human community and then get ready and go for seeing the creative capabilities of Allah throughout the universe to recognise how great creator Allah is. This is how mankind are going to become aware of the fact that mankind are a masterpiece produced by Allah. All this involves a lot of hard work by mankind and it is going to take countless generations of mankind to get there. One can therefore see if Allah is a real God or just another God created by human imagination in human image. This explanation shows that God cannot reproduce his kind that is why he ended up creating human beings so mankind are his ideological children if you like. He wanted something like himself so he decided to put mankind through all this trouble that he has. It shows his love for mankind but he cannot show that love against his plan for which he created mankind. The concept of God in the Quran is very different from all other concepts because God portrayed by the Quran is though independent in his existence is not totally free of desires that are consistence with his nature of being and what he has done. If we do not accept desires for God that he has expressed in the Quran then why God will do anything at all or care for anything at all? It will not matter whether he is just or unjust, good or bad, cruel or compassionate etc etc. The planning of creation and setting up processes, systems, mechanisms and laws etc all point to a God who is very concerned God and to whom this creation means something. The Quranic God is infinite in his existence ie he has no beginning or end but not infinite in everything ie he does have limitations. He cannot create another God, he cannot kill himself, he cannot count to highest number, he cannot create a rock that he cannot lift himself, he cannot know things he cannot know, and he cannot do things he cannot do. Only mullahs imaginary God can do everything and is unlimited in every sense and therefore he can have son and father as well as a wife etc etc. For all that one has to turn for guidance to Hindu, Parsee and Christian etc priests and their interpretations of their scriptures. The God of the Quran only created what he could lookafter ie there is a limit to what God can create and lookafter because God cannot create anything infinite. Mullahs have borrowed a lot of nonsense about God from outside the teachings of the Quran.
Surah 113 AL-FALAQ–The process of deconstruction of a human society based upon harmful and destructive way of life and reconstruction of a proper human community based upon blissful and dignifying way of life advised by the creator and sustainer of the universe
This surah is named AL-FALAQ from root FAA, LAAM and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is something that is brought about by something by way of creation or evolution directly or indirectly for some purpose eg Allah has brought about things out of nothing and he has set up a way for things to continue through process of evolution due to which things are recycled and new generations of things are brought about ie from parents the children etc. Also breaking of something to make something new out of it eg seed is destroyed to bring out new plant to reproduce more seeds, breaking of dawn, new beginning, dawn of enlightenment, process of deconstruction and then reconstruction etc etc.
This surah is named AL-FALAQ because it comprehensively describes the fact that Allah has created everything and that things function in such a way that they either end up benefitting humanity or harming it. However it is up to mankind themselves to learn things about themselves and rest of creation as well as divine revelation and set up such a human community based kingdom that gives them a blissful, dignified and secure life. Not only that but it also explains that most serious danger for humanity comes from within itself ie some members of it using and abusing it for personal gains at its expense thereby hindering its unity, peace, progress and prosperity. The main thing for people to realise is that while they setup rivalries and animosities between themselves and waste time and resources in fighting each other, they will have problem taking care of themselves from other dangers present in the universe for humanity. This is why all those who conspire to create fights among mankind are said to be enemies of humanity and people should deal with such antisocial elements among them properly before things get out of hands. This is why the need for people to keep each other constantly in check.
This surah explains how the kingdom based upon divine guidance can come about or can be brought about by any person or persons ie the starting point is spreading of the message of Allah in a proper way which requires its proper understanding by oneself because spreading the wrong message in the name of Allah will have serious consequences eg people will not be able understand and accept it so instead of coming together on basis of this message they will run away from it and oppose it because in their minds they could be thinking the actual message is rubbish so it is not worth even considering never mind following. This should be obvious to Muslims who have come in contact with nonMuslims who have already read books on Islam by mullahs and their ignorant followers. It is uphill struggle to explain to such nonMuslims that Islam of mullahs is not the Islam in the Quran. In fact it is even worse trying to explain it to Muslims who have been infected by indoctrination by mullahs. This is why a very large majority of the ummah is stuck terribly in the nonsense of mullahs. However, no matter what ummah will have to find its way to the proper understanding of the Quranic message or there is no end to its troubles and painful suffering.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind,
1] Saying, I seek to bring about a kingdom for protection of mankind according to program, constitution and law revealed by Creator and Sustainer of the universe,
Word AOOZU is from root AIN, WOW and ZAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is something that sticks with something for security reasons eg chicks stick with mother hen as their refuge for their security. Also to stay within a security zone in some sense for self preservation particularly in time of danger, refuge, shelter, protection, guard, keep an eye etc etc.
The advised way of life provides refuge for humanity from all sorts of its self created troubles and difficulties.
2] in order to protect mankind from the harms and destructions caused by all that He has created,
There are various types of harms and destructions taking place in the world all the time and mankind need to be alert enough and able enough as a community to cope with all such things that life throws at humanity. The guidance from Allah helps humanity do that by removing internal conflicts from within humanity by uniting them so that they are free to pay attention to other things that need to be paid attention to and taken care of by mankind.
3] particularly from the harms and destructions caused by dominant people when they let ignorance become settled in their minds to act stubbornly,
Word GHAASIQ is from root GHAIN, SEEN and QAAF. Concrete meaning of this root is something very dark or extremely cold or both. Also very dark or very cold night or very dark and very cold night, a period of time of extreme ignorance or a period of time of extreme depression that stops a person from doing anything or both. A period of time of extreme ignorance or extreme arrogance or both. Pus, foul fluid, to pour out, running eye, the moon, to act ignorantly or arrogantly or stubbornly etc etc.
Word WAQAB is from root WOW, QAAF and BAA. Concrete meaning of this root is a rock with a ditch wherein gathers rainwater. Also a well in the flat piece of land, a ditch, to enter something to become invisible or disappear, setting of the sun, the enveloping of darkness of night to make things disappear in the dark of the night, things that drown or go down or set or disappear, the over whelming troubles that come from all direction to destroy something, loss of things of need for existence and development, foolish person, heavy drinker, to sink in , to subside, to overcome, to prevail, to become dark, to enter etc etc.
4] as well as from the harms and destructions of those who cause hatred among mankind through divisions, rivalries and animosities for their personal gains through plotting and conspiracies,
Word NAFFAASAAT is from root NOON, FAA and SAA. Concrete meaning of this root is to blow lightly but quietly. To make secret suggestions, to inject or inspire an idea or action, to hiss an incantation, to cast a spell, to hiss, to prompt into action, to trigger into action, be hidden cause behind an action, to conspire to make someone do something without being noticed, exude, spit out etc etc.
Word UQAD is from root AIN, QAAF and DAAL. Concrete meaning of this root is to complicate things instead of leaving them simple. Also to tie knot, to tangle, to agree, to solemnise, to make things difficult, to cause or create troubles, to thicken, alliance, to coagulate, oath, necklace, sand dune, to put together, marriage etc etc.
5] and from the harms and destructions of the covert operators when they complicate matters for humanity at large that are simple out of selfish greed and envy or jealousy.
This surah beside explaining other things also points out the problems that people who wish to bring about or maintain the divine kingdom will face from those who do not wish to see such a kingdom become a reality or remain a reality even if such a kingdom does come about. In this sense one has to be very much alert about social, cultural, political and economic conspiracies and plots by opposing sides and be able to survive them. Otherwise the wish for bringing about the kingdom based upon divine guidance will remain a distant dream. Again a very strong slap on face of mullahs who have deliberately misinterpreted the Quran to hide its actual teachings from mankind so that use and abuse of humanity continues at hands of rulers, mullahs, money lenders and their supporters and these people get what they have been promised by rulers and money lenders. The very fact that masses always look up to God for help means that if true message of Allah was delivered to them they will not accept any other way of life than the one revealed by Allah and that is the main reason mullahs need to put so much effort in derailing people from the message of Allah by misinterpreting and misrepresenting the message but it is also fault of masses for blindly following mullahs instead of educating themselves, a fault for which they are paying a very heavy price throughout the world. Despite working so hard billions of people in the world are unable to make the ends meet. A fitting response by set up systems and laws of Allah for those who choose to live like animals despite being created as human beings with highly powerful and sophisticated brains by Allah. All this shows very clearly that Islam is a DEEN not a MAZHAB and mullahs are lying day and night to dish it out as a set of make belief for useless rituals that have no benefit for mankind whatsoever. Deen is a way of life for living in this world with outcome of actions people take for living in this world. This is why beneficial way of life leads to benefits and harmful way of life leads to harms. The Quran guides as to what sort of actions lead to harm and destruction and why or how and what sort of actions lead to blissful and dignified life and why or how. So only foolish will follow mullahs instead of following the Quran by trying to understand it properly.
Surah 114 AL-NAAS–The blissful, dignified and secure existence for mankind lies in their abiding by program, constitution and law of their creator and sustainer
This surah is named AL-NAAS from root ALIF, NOON and SEEN. This root had been already explained but just to remind, it means mankind, people, humans, masses etc etc.
This surah is named AL-NAAS not because word naas is used in it but for its subject matter. It deals with all sorts of problems humanity faces and their solution. As one should know that the Quran is mainly about proper management of people and resources for satisfying needs of mankind so that mankind could have peace between themselves so that they could cooperate for progress of humanity and help it prosper to such an extent that one day mankind could end up managing the whole of universe for their benefit. The Quran is not about mere survival of humanity but about its blissful and dignified life. This is why the Quran is a program, a constitution and a law book all in one. The Quran tells people that Allah is sole rightful sovereign of this universe and the only one who has right to recommend a program, a constitution and a law for his kingdom and its subjects including human beings. It is because people are born ignorant and it takes them a life time to learn things as much as they can through brain and senses by interacting with things so divine revelation is sent to help humanity speed up things and bypass unnecessary painful suffering. However, as mankind interact with each other soon they find that not all of them are equally learned so those who become more aware of things try to take undue advantage of those who remain less aware of things. This creates divides between mankind because people behave worse than animals towards each other so revelation is given to mankind to explain how they should develop their mindset, attitude and behaviour in order to fulfil goals set by Allah for them according to his provided guidelines to begin with. Once the first step is fully achieved the next goal for mankind is to explore the universe and see work of Allah in great detail in order to appreciate his creativity for which he ended up creating everything and particularly the mankind, so that this creature gives his independent opinion about creativity of Allah by being a creative creature himself.
Since mankind are divided they need a base for unity and the Quran provides that base for unity but once the unity movement begins by way of hard work for properly understanding and spreading the message of the Quran among mankind then some people who will realise the need for Quranic revelation will support it and some people who will see it as a problem because it is getting in their way of doing things will oppose it. It all depends on how different people see the message of the Quran as per their own stock of information and its understanding. If people just want to live their own lives bothered not with how world is doing things and how it is all affecting people as a whole through each other then things will get worse and worse but if people will participate as they should then things could be turned around for the better. All this interaction is part of life regardless we like it or not. This is what this surah deals with ie how people should support each other and how they should not and who to look out for who could prove dangerous for humanity as a whole. So this surah is telling people what they need to aim for and what they need to look out for in case they are led the wrong way round by those who conspire against guidance of Allah for mankind in order to get their own way which is based upon personal gains or self interests or greed. This surah identifies dangerous elements in human population ie people who want to become masters of other people and people who suck up to them to sell their way of life to masses and do their dirty works for them to bring masses under their grip. A major crime against humanity committed by some people among people of every human society but people of Lot are mentioned about it in a big way. It is these people who are always the main obstacle in the way of establishment of a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah. The Firowns of this world, the Qaroons, the Hamaans, the Samirees, the inventers and spreaders of falsehood as truth to make truth obscure on masses thereby. The Quran puts these people into different categories. The rulers and their procurers who get masses to work for them and that is how humanity ends up used and abused by some of its members who act less than human beings or even less than all the other living things.
Proclaim! In the name of Allah, the provider of psychological, sociological and biological needs of mankind
1] Saying, I seek to bring about a kingdom for protection of mankind founded upon revealed program, constitution and law of Creator and Sustainer of mankind,
2] Who is the sole rightful owner of mankind,
3] the only ruler able to protect and secure mankind through His advised way of life,
4] against the harms and destructions of the group of people that spreads the opposite message secretly, the loser
5] which tries to raise harmful and destructive ambitions and desires for personal gains in minds of the mankind against each other,
6] from among the people seeking dominance over others by undermining them and from among the masses who link to them to gain dominance over others.
This surah explains what it means to accept message of Allah ie it is accepting Allah as the sole ruler and therefore his advised way of life that is for fulfilling his program for mankind according to his constitution and law. From this it is not difficult to see what is going to happen to such people who will stand up for implementation of this program for fulfilling goals set by Allah according to his guidelines. They will be opposed tooth and nail by opponents and they will use every trick and mechanism they can to ensure such a thing does not happen. They will try to convince people that this way of life is wrong and their way of life is right and they will offer various incentives depending on strength of the movement for the divine mission and individuals position in there. Since the Quran is talking about establishment and maintenance of a kingdom based upon guidance of Allah therefore these verses are talking about what opposition is going to try to stop this mission in its track. This is where mullaism takes things in its own hand misinterprets the message of the Quran and misrepresents it to masses thereby mullaism supports rulers and money lenders. This is why unless masses educate themselves to see through tricks of mullahs they will remain enslaved and therefore will be used and abused for as long as they remain in this situation. A scholar of the Quran is not a mullahs because he explains the Quran as it ought to be explained as a book of deen. One may make odd mistakes about explaining things but such a person will not try to misinterpret the book deliberately nor misrepresent it. This work itself could be containing mistakes because we are all human beings and take time to learn things and realise our mistakes so people must use their own better judgement to reach their own conclusions.
