Al-Bayan, Discourses on the Qur'an
by Javed Ahmad Ghamidi

Surah Aal i Imran
Aayaat 77 to 91.

Gratitude is only for God,
the Lord of the World,

and may His peace and mercy
be on Muhammad, the trustworthy.

I seek refuge with God
from the accursed Devil.

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious,
the Ever Merciful.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We are beginning
the study of Surah Aal I Imran

from verse 77 in the Quran.

In the preceding verses, the Quran, 
states that jews are mistaken

for holding that they have a special 
place reserved for them by Allah,

due to which they consider 
themselves superior to others.

And that the jews are wrong in assuming 
that God has kept them free

of any responsibility in relation to 
the Ishmaelites.

The Quran, addressing the jews clarified 
that any rank given by Allah is only for

those who fulfill the covenant, and act 
in accordance with the covenant

at any cost.The Quran interprets it as 
Taqwa (fear of God).

Those who will act like this will be pious
and devout, and God loves to be friends

with the pious people. Those who disregard
their promise to Allah, violate all limits

and reach a point of shamelessness and even then
claim to be God fearing and pious people.

They are just merely imagining things
and it has relevance.

This is clarified in the preceding 
verses of the Quran.

The Quran states:
Innallazeena yashtaroona bi aahdilleahi

Indeed, those who trade Allah’s covenant 
and their oaths for a fleeting gain.

In the earlier verse, light was thrown 
on those who are

God fearing.

Now, the Quran says that those 
who trade Allah’s covenant and

their oaths for fleeting gain.

What is intended by this covenant?

It is evident that it is with regard to 
covenant made with the jews in relation

to God’s Shariah (Islamic Law) and the 
advent of the Prophet (pbuh).

And with respect to the oaths; it is 
mentioned in context to the oaths

with the Prophets by the jews

and in particular to help and 
support Prophet (pbuh).

These oaths will be set out 
in verse 81.

We will learn about the nature of those covenants when we 
read those verses.

Pointing towards those 
verses, the Quran says:

Innallazeena yashtaroona bi aahdilleahi 
va aymeanihim samanan kaaleelan

Indeed, those who trade Allah’s covenant 
and

va aymeanihim samanan kaaleelan
and trade their oaths for a fleeting gain.

The Quran stated that they think of 
themselves as beloved to God,

They think that they will secure a good
place with God

while trading Allah’s covenant and 
oaths for fleeting gains.

uleaika lea haalaakaa lahum feel eahıraati

No matter how religiously they present 
themselves, and think that they are

superior to others, they will have no 
share in the Hereafter.

Those who keep Allah’s covenant and 
oaths, the ones who have honest affairs

and act in accordance with the laws
of religion.

They are the ones who have no share 
in the Hereafter.

uleaika lea haalaakaa lahum feel eahıraati

The misconception that the jews have 
that they are the beloved people of God

and that they will be treated specially …

In fact, there is no doubt that jews are 
a special group of people

as stated in the Quran. Jews were 
chosen by God, given a rank

and responsibility. Even after all this 
the Quran states that the rank given

to the jews was based on merit, it 
was given with a purpose and

has its own limitations. However, it is 
not like jews will forever enjoy the rank

and its status - whereas do no good to 
the responsibility delegated to them.

There is no possibility of it. uleaika lea
haalaakaa lahum feel eahıraati

They are the ones who will have no share 
in the Hereafter.

va lea yukallimuhumulleahu 
Allah will not speak to them

on the Day of resurrection.

They are the ones who are rejected 
in the court of Allah…

In reality, this is the outcome of 
Laanath (Driven out of Gods mercy).

In our terminology Laanat is used as 
an abusive term,

It actually means to drive out 
someone from Gods mercy.

Yukallimuhumulleahu Allah will not 
speak to them on the

Day of resurrection va lea yanzuru 
ilayhim yavmal kıyeamati and

God will not look at them with kindness 
on the Day of Resurrection.

Like you say, God will not even like to 
see them or look at them with kindness.

va lea yuzakkeehim And God will not 
exonerate them of their sins

va lahum aazeabun aleem and for 
them there is a painful torment.

As the Quran states that they will not 
be exonerated of their sins.

What is the meaning of it?

It means that they have committed grave 
offences for which there is little scope

of punishment and reward.

It is evident from the verse that when 
the sins are so grave…

May Allah guide us towards good, so that 
every Muslim may enter the paradise

in the very first instance.

From this verse we understand that there 
can be certain transgressions that

are beyond the scope of punishment 
and reward.

If an individual cannot rectify his 
offenses through good deeds,

Allah removes the remnants of any 
wrongdoing by a punishment,

because it is necessary to enter heaven 
unpolluted. Quran mentioned that

they will not even ascertain this 
chastity.

va lahum aazeabun aleem for them 
there is a painful torment.

It is evident from this verse that, 
how big a sin it is

to break Allah’s Covenant, break promises 
and willingly deny the truth.

This is the level of this wrongdoing in 
relation to the Prophet (pbuh) and

it is no else an offense in any other 
circumstances.

The Quran has explicitly detailed it out.

The Quran has made an analogy in the 
last two verses and stated that,

in normal circumstances the jews 
have immensely degraded themselves,

that is the reason for breaking

Allah’s covenant and their oaths 
for a fleeting gain.

Therefore, morality among people can 
have Allah’s mercy and kindness,

if these people have good intentions,
true faith in God,

trying to be a pious Muslim and do not 
willingly deny the truth by God,

but commited certains other offences.

In that case, a glad tiding was received 
that Allah would warn and punish them

but eventually wash them of their 
transgressions.

And then they can enter into heaven.

This is what has been explained in 
the Hadiths.

This is the real crux, but many-a-times 
the narrators try to portray

this in a very different style, which 
changes its real meaning.

This is what the Quran has explained.

The Quran states: Va inna minhum la
fareekaan yalvoona alsinatahum bil kiteabi

And most surely there is a party of them 
(people of the Book)

who distort the Book with their tongues 
that you may consider it to be of the Book

li taahsaboohu minal kiteabi va mea 
huva minal kiteab(kiteabi)

you may think it is from the book, but it 
is not from the book.

Just imagine to what extent people 
can degrade.

If you try to connect it with the previous
verses,

you will understand that these words 
carry extreme displeasure and

hate from Allah for these people.

Allah gave them a status and 
treated them accordingly…

But they did, indeed, 
deserved this punishment.

As Allah explains, that neither he would 
look down on them with kindness,

nor speak to them.

In fact Allah mentions that he will not 
even purify them of their sins

so that they could enter heaven.

They will live in this torment forever.

If you try to understand their status,

I even gave an example to help you 
understand that when the

wives of the Prophet (pbuh) were chosen 
for this status,

it was explicitly made clear that now 
their reward and

punishment both are doubled,

i.e., when you are chosen for a position 
and you decide to take up the charge,

then you must be ready to take up the 
responsibilities that may arise.

The Quran says:

There are some among them…

Its is obvious that is related to 
the interpretation that if they

want to save themselves from 
responsibilities

of the covenants of God, then how do 
they distort the Book?

There are two aspects of it.

One you alter the book and its meaning.

The other aspect is that, since majority 
of the people are illiterate,

therefore, you distort the book with 
by slightly twisting the text and

change the meaning of the verse 
in its entirety,

i.e., you did not alter the words but 
distorted the meaning with your tongue,

that is what has been mentioned here.

There are people who…

yalvoona alsinatahum bil kiteabi

There are some among them who 
distort the Book with their tongues

li taahsaboohu minal kiteabi to make 
you think this ˹distortion˺

is from the Book va mea huva minal 
kiteab but it is not what the Book says.

va yakooloona hu va min indilleahi that 
you may consider it to be

of the Book from God,

va mea huva min indilleah even though 
it is not from God.

va yakooloona aalealleahil kaziba va 
hum yaa’lamoon(yaa’lamoona

And they speak untruth about Allah 
while they know.

The crime that has been mentioned here 
has been perpetrated

by both jews and christians. In the 
earlier chapter of Al-Bakara,

it was detailed out how jews and 
christains alters the meaning

of the word MARWA with their tongues.

The word “Marwa” was used when 
Prophet Abraham (pbuh) was asked

to sacrifice Prophet Ismael, his son.

Apart from other alterations to this 
incident of sacrifice not only did the jews

add the name of Prophet Isaac but also 
ruined the pronunciation of the word Marwa.

So, this is the type of alteration that has 
been mentioned here in this verse,

​​that you alter the meaning of a word in 
order to divert people's attention

to a different topic while concealing the 
real meaning. In order to conceal

the fact that Prophet Abraham (pbuh) 
came to Arab,

build the house of God, his lineage was 
floriesed in the soil and also

about the incident of Ismael’s 
sacrifice, therefore,

anticipating the outcomes of how it
could relate to the advent of Prophet (pbuh),

jews manipulated the word Marwa.

This is an example of how they concealed 
the facts in history,

so as to disassociate the relation of 
Prophet Abraham with the house of God.

This is just an example that 
I have quoted…

This is what has been explained here…

It is explained that even in the case 
of the Prophet (pbuh),

when they are unfair, they can go 
down to any level.

People used to go to the 
Prophet (pbuh)...

when the Quran repeatedly mentioned 
about the foretelling,

people used to go to the Prophet (pbuh) 
and

ask him about the foretelling mentioned 
in the Quran.

This is how the Quran has captured the 
scene of what their

religious leaders used to do.

This is what has been mentioned 
in the Quran,

that they would distort the real facts 
and alter the meaning of it,

to convey it as the book of God, but 
it is not from the book.

They would give you and impression, 
that it is from the book of God,

when it is not. The Quran stated: 
Mea keana li basharin an

yu’tiyahulleahul kiteaba val hukma 
van nubuvvata summa yakoola

lin neasi koonoo ıbeadan lee min 
doonilleahi

The Quran says that: Not only do they
speak a lie against Prophet (pbuh),

they dont even think that It is 
not appropriate

for someone that Allah will bless
him with the Scripture, wisdom,

to decide according to that.

yu’tiyahulleahul kiteaba val hukma

decide according to the wisdom,

wan nubuvvata and bestow him with 
prophethood summa yakoola

lin neasi koonoo ıbeadan lee min 
doonilleahi “Worship me instead of Allah.”

How is it possible? Since, Christians are 
addressed in this verse,

How is it possible that God sent down 
his book to the Christians,

and guided them as to decide in the 
religious matter in accordance

with the book of God and even appointed 
from him for the status of Prophethood.

And instead of inviting people to worship 
God, how could Jesus propagate

his own worship instead? 
How is it possible?

God says, it cannot be. Christian cannot 
say: koonoo ıbeadan lee min doonilleahi

Be servants to me apart from Allah, 
No!

He would rather say:

va leakin koonoo raabbeaniyyeena bi mea 
kuntum tuaallimoonal kiteaba

but rather say “be Godly servants”.

Why would he (christian) ask you to 
be his servant, rather he would ask you

to be raabbeani (Godly servants).

The word raabbeani means worshipper 
of God (Godly servants).

Same is the meaning of Maulvi in 
our society.

It is indeed a beautiful word,

but a wrong interpretation of this word
has led us to this point.

Infact, we learn from the Quran that the 
religious scholars of christians were

reffered to as “Rabbanni”.

Like we use the term “Mualivi” for our 
religious leaders,

its roots are in the word “Maula”.

Similarly, Rabbani word in rooted in 
the word “Rab”.

So, this word was used in context of 
worshipper of God, Godly servants.

The Quran say: This is what the Prophet 
would preach.

The Quran also mentions that the Prophet 
would never mention as

to a specific number of people to 
become Maulvi (religious scholar) or

Rabbani (worshipper of God). He would 
invite everyone to worship God.

bi mea kuntum tuaallimoonal kiteaba 
but [instead, he would say],

"Be pious scholars of the Lord because 
of what you have taught

of the Scripture and because of what 
you have studied."

va bimea kuntum tadrusoon

but he will surely say, “Be sincere 
worshippers of Allah,

because you teach the Book and 
you preach from it.”

Va lea ya’murakum an tattahizool 
maleaikata van nabiyyeena arbeabea

And he would never ask you to take angels 
and prophets as lords.

He would never ask you. he would never 
ask you to take angels and

prophets as lords.

a ya’murukum bil kufri baa’da iz 
antum muslimoon

Would he ask you to disbelieve after 
you have submitted?

The Quran, while addressing the common 
sense of jews, christians and

even quraish of Mecca,

rather everyone was made aware of 
the fact that the rules of God which

you consider as your foundational 
parameters.

You should never do that.

How can you associate a Prophet with 
God, the Prophet only come to

call people to Iman which commands 
worshiping Allah Alone without partners.

The Prophet would never ask his followers
to disbelieve after they learn about the truth.

And if you ever come across something 
like this,

never accept it to be from a legitimate 
source or it is from God himself.

After going through something like this, 
you must be well aware that

this is nothing but the alteration of the
meaning and verses

by people who went astray.

No Prophet can invite you to this 
sort of religion.

Look how there is an assay-balance 
explained in the Quran.

The one who has the book of God, the 
one who has been blessed with

the abilities to better comprehend and 
decide on religious matters in

accordance with the book of God.

The one who would be stationed at the 
position of prophethood.

What would he say to the people?

He would always guide people that invite 
them to the right path

of Tawhid (oneness of God). Only Tawhid, 
nothing more than that.

He would never ask people to submit 
and worship him instead of God.

He would never boast about himself.

The one having the knowledge of the 
book would never exaggerate

and boast about the angels 
and Prophets.

He would only invite you to say one thing 
and that tawheed, the Oneness of God.

Allah says in the Quran, If you come 
across anything that is contrary

to the oneness of God, then that is not 
from God, but fabrication of the message.

It is not possible that after inviting you
to Islam and the oneness of God,

the Prophet word then ask you to 
make partners with God.

It ia not possible that the Prophet 
would first invite you

to the religion of God that is Islam and 
then asked you to worship him instead.

This was the equilibrium that was put 
forth to the jews,

if you read Torah, Bible even today, 
you will find them supporting

the oneness of God in entirety.

You can better comprehend this 
statement which is explained

here in context, only when you will 
understand that since,

you have the books of your Prophets 
with you. Do you ever see that

the Prophet is inviting people to 
worship him?

Or give the status of God to someone?

Then how do you believe in it? if Jesus 
himself propagated the Oneness of God,

stressed on Iman and good deeds, 
and make this as a foundation

of invitation towards the right path.

Even after thousands of years Torah,

revealed by Prophet Moses (pbuh) 
preachers the same facts

about the Oneness of God, how is it 
possible than

when the religious scholars try to 
explain the preaching

This is what has been stressed over 
here.

Is it possible that first the Prophet 
(pbuh) would work hard all his life

to invite people to the religion Islam and
then ask them to submit to him

and worship him instead?

It is not possible, When you analyze two 
aspects of it, one what the Prophet (pbuh)

taught us and second what is being done 
after the Prophet (pbuh),

This is what is being discussed here in 
the verse of the Quran.

you will gain a deeper understanding 
of it.

This is what is being explained 
over here.

This is what is being stated in the Quran:

a ya’murukum bil kufri baa’da iz antum 
muslimoon,

the Prophet (pbuh) invited people towards 
the religion of Islam,

towards the onesness of God.

Even today this invitation towards the 
right path is clearly stated

in the book of God. Then did the Prophet 
(pbuh) proclaim that he has

attained Godly powers, or there are 
some attributes of God

that are manifested in him?

Did the Prophet (pbuh) ever announce 
that he has received the divine powers?

When did the Prophet (pbuh) ever say 
something like this that you are saying

to people after He is gone?

This is what has been mentioned 
in the Quran.

You will better comprehend this when 
you will compare the

meaning of the word muslimoon with 
ya’murukum bil kufri.

How is it possible? When the Prophet 
(pbuh) himself proclaimed

about the oneness of God and stood 
by it throughout His life.

How is it possible that He might have 
said something of this sort,

that you claim the Prophet (pbuh) has 
mentioned about his own divinity.

How is it possible that the Prophet (pbuh)
first presented himself

as the servant of God and preached 
about Iman and Tawhiid,

as in accordance with the verses of 
the Quran.

And then in no time we came to 
know different stories of a completely

different perspective about the Prophet 
(pbuh) attaining the virtue of divinity.

While inviting people to Islam, was the 
Prophet (pbuh) asking people

to unbelief after they became Muslim.

This is what has been mentioned in this 
term a ya’murukum bil kufri baa’da

iz antum muslimoon Would he ask you 
to disbelieve after you have submitted?

The Messenger of Allah can never do 
something like this.

The Prophet (pbuh) only invites people 
to Tawhiid and preaches about

the oneness of God till the end.

Va iz ahaazaalleahu meeseakaan nabiyyeena

[O Prophet! Remind them of the time] 
When Allah took the Covenant

from them regarding the Prophets.

Va iz ahaazaalleahu meeseakaan 
nabiyyeena

When Allah took the Covenant from 
them regarding the Prophets.

What was the Covenant? lamea eataytukum 
min kiteabin va hikmatin.

Allah says in the Quran that: I have 
given you the Shariyat (Islamic Laws)

and the Wisdom. summa ceaakum 
rasoolun

then a Rasul (Messenger) comes to you.

Allah took the Covenant from them 
regarding the Prophets,

and reminded them of who they are, 
giving them the Book and the Wisdom.

In other words, after explaining all the 
content, Allah mentions that

he has given them his religion, 
i.e., Islam.

There was a possibility of deviating 
from the right path only when there

would have been no clear guidance 
from God.

As the Quran says: It is possible that 
someone might not have

received God’s guidance or the book, 
and in that case

if there is any misunderstanding.

Here it is introduced in a way, Remind them
when Allah took the Covenant from you

regarding the Prophets, and raised 
you as a Umma.

Do you remember what you were bestowed 
upon from God?

He gave you the light of his religion…

The Quran has mentioned a lot of places 
that the religion is composed

of only two things, one Shariyat (Islamic 
Laws) and Hikmmat (wisdom).

What does wisdom mean?

Wisdom is to do with faith and morality.

In philosophical terminology you can 
interpret it as metaphysics and ethics.

In reality the religion is to do with both
metaphysics and ethics,

and serve as the foundation for developing
laws. And those laws are known as Shariyat

The Quran states that: you were given 
both the Shariyat and the Wisdom

and then you were asked to take 
an oath.

summa jeaakum rasoolun,

if a Rasul (Messenger) comes to you 
musaaddikun limea maaakum

a Rasul (Messenger) comes to you 
confirming that which is

with you (Shariyat, Wisdom that 
Allah had given to you

and the predictions about the coming 
of a Prophet) and comes to you

confirming that then what would 
you do?

la tu’minunna bihee you must definitely 
believe in him va la taansurunnahu

and you must definitely help him.

Therefore, this was the covenant that 
Allah took from the Israelites.

Though ordinary words are used in this 
covenant viz; when

a Rasul (Messenger) comes, it is amply 
clear that it is pointing out towards

the Prophet (pbuh).

In Fact they were part of this covenant 
even in the times of other prophets

that used to come to them.

But this was a special oath in relation 
to the Prophet (pbuh),

as is mentioned in their books that he 
would not bring about

a new religion all together, but confirm 
the religion that is already in practice.

It is your own problem that you denied 
something that was already present

and the Prophet (pbuh) was only 
confirming about the religion

that was already with you.

You took up the heavy responsibility 
of that Covenant,

but when you had to confirm.

You denied having any such oath and 
did not confirm.

It is a crime.

As Jesus says: the bridegrooms wait 
for their brides throughout the night

and when the time is near, they 
do not wait.

This responsibility was shouldered 
by you.

Allah says, [remind them] Allah took 
the Covenant about the Prophets,

and the covenant was that whenever 
any of God’s Prophet would

come musaaddikun limea maaakum 
a Rasul (Messenger) would come to you

confirming about what is already with 
you (Shariyat, Wisdom that Allah had

given to you and the predictions about 
the coming of a Prophet in Torah

and Bible) and comes to you confirming 
that must definitely believe in him,

you must definitely help him.

Kala a aakraartum va ahaaztum aalea 
zealikum ısree Allah said:

“Do you agree and accept (My Oath)”? To 
understand this verse,

we should consult Bible and Torah.

Whenever these covenants were 
taken from them,

every time they were asked to confirm, 
you will transfer this knowledge

to you next generation and spread the 
word among people.

Prophet Moses (pbuh) used to take this 
oath with due planning.

Allah asked: Kaalu, and what did your 
ancestors answer to that?

Aakraarnea (They) said: “We agree”.

keala fashhadoo Then bear witness va ana 
maaakum minash sheahideen (Allah) said:

“Then bear witness and I am of the bearers
of witness with you”.

Fa man tavallea baa’da zealika fa uleaika 
humul feasikoon Whoever therefore

turns back after this (denies the Messenger
that will come after the Prophets),

they are the Fâsiqûn (those who are not 
in the Way of Allah or

have gone out of it, transgressors).

Allah reminds them of this is how, they 
were asked to asked

to follow the Prophet (pbuh) and help 
him in his cause of religion.

This covenant was taken in relation to 
all the Prophets of God,

but here in case the Quran is pointing 
out towards Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

I reiterate what i mentioned earlier, these
words Fa man tavallea baa’da zealika

that even after this, if someone turns 
back after this (denies the Messenger

that will come after the Prophets) then 
there is no doubt that they

are the Fasiqun (those who are not in 
the Way of Allah or transgressors).

The meaning of Fasiqun in the Quranic 
terminology is disobedient.

Even after making it clear and taking the
Covenant from them regarding the Prophets.

Even then you are hell bent towards 
this attitude...

If you read Bible you will come to know 
that the Israelites leaders are assembled

in a place and different group of people 
join them,

they are all assembled in a place of 
worship, Prophet Moses (pbuh)

first explained the oath well and only 
after that took their consent.

He Instructed them to bear witness and 
know the consequences of this life

and the hereafter if any one of them 
turns their back to the covenant.

Covenant about the rewards and 
punishments from Allah,

about Shariah and Prophets are taken in 
the same way.

What a state of remorse it is for the 
Israelites that Allah reminds them

how he took oath from them and still 
you are denying that covenant.

A fa gaayra deenilleahi yabgoona.

Allah says in the Quran: Prophets used to 
come in the same way;

the way in which they have covenants 
with Allah.

The Prophet (pbuh) came in the same 
way as well.

Prophets came to fulfill those covenants 
that you promised to Allah.

Allah says: since they came with the same 
message and religion,

then are they looking for some new 
religion altogether?

Are they denying it? Now, the oneness 
of God,

the same truth, book and wisdom.

You shouldn't have had a speck 
of doubt in it.

Now are you denying it and looking for 
a different religion than Islam?

va lahoo aslama man fees sameaveati

and to Him submit whoever is in the 
heavens and in the earth,

taav’aan va karhan 
willingly and unwillingly,

they are bound by his commands, are 
obedient and

are bowed down before God.

va ilayhi yurcaoon and to Him shall they 
be returned.

Not only God has authority over all of 
the heavens and the earth,

whole of this universe has submitted 
to God.

There is no scope of his escape in the 
world or hereafter,

everything in this universe has bowed 
down before God.

Quran states that: you have to turn 
towards God even in the hereafter.

There is no other way.

Kul eamannea billeahi

The Quran Says: “We believe in Allah, 
we believe in God

and in the oneness of God. 
va mea unzila aalaynea

We believe in what has been sent 
down to us.

This is the stage of splendour in the 
Quran, that how beautifully they

were recalled of the oath they took 
regarding the Prophets.

Now, the Prophet (pbuh) was commandent 
to announce that We believe in God

and anything that was sent down to us.

Now, look how the ancestry of Abraham 
is joined in the context.

va mea unzila aalea ibreaheema

We believe in what has been sent 
down to us,

and what was sent down to Abraham,

wa Ishmael, and what has been sent 
down to Ishmael,

va isheakaa va yaa’kooba val asbeatı 
and what has been

sent down to Isaac, Jacob and the 
sons of Jacob,

we believe in what was given to

whatever was sent down ro the 
Prophets from their Lord,

We believe in that. What do we say?

lea nufarriku bayna ahaadin minhum,

We do not make any distinction between 
any of them, and to Him (Allah).

It is not of us that we believe in some 
and not others. We do not employ

this method based on our suspicion.

We do not deny any of God’s instruction, 
neither do we refute it in any way.

We believe in everything sent down 
to us without any coercion.

lea nufarriku bayna ahaadin minhum, 
va naahnu lahu muslimoon

we make no distinction between any 
of them, and to Him we ˹fully˺ submit.”

The Quran says: Va man yabtagi gaayraal 
isleami deenan.

This is Islam, this is the religion 
of Islam.

You must understand that Islam is not a 
religion of one Prophet,

but all Prophets invited us to the same 
religion of Islam.

Islam is the religion of all the Prophets 
including Abraham, Ismael,

Isaac, Moses, Jesus,Jacob and the 
sons of Jacob.

All the Propehts brought this religion 
of Islam to the people.

And we are the believers of Islam.

And anyone who wishes to accept 
any other religion apart from Islam.

Va man yabtagi gaayraal isleami deenan 
fa lan yukbala minhu,

And whoever seeks a religion other 
than Islam (Submission to Allah),

it shall not be accepted from him, only 
the religion of Islam is accepted

in the court of Allah, Islam is the 
religion of all the Prophets

and there is no suspicion about it.

Truth is evident in the religion of Islam 
with a proper balance.

This religion is based on these 
true facts.

If someone wants to abandon this 
religion and bring about a new religion

based on his own suspicion, desires and 
innovations then there is no scope

of its acceptance in the court of Allah.

va huva feel eahiraati minal heasireen.

Allah made it clear that Islam is not a 
religion that was introduced

by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), try 
to understand the lineage of Islam,

it is the religion of all the Prophets.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) only 
came for the Revival of Islam.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came for 
confirmation of Islam.

He came for revival of Islam.

He rectified the innovations that were 
instilled in Islam.

He has presented the religion of Islam.

God’s religion has always been Islam.

God never revealed a religion specific 
to the Prophets, the religion

was the same from the beginning, there 
was no distinction as such.

The religion from God was always Islam.

Islam is the religion of Allah. Anyone who
denies Islam and adopts any other religion,

he must know that God will not accept his 
religion, and in the Hereafter

he shall be of the losers.

Kayfa yahdilleahu kaavman kafaroo 
baa’da eemeanihim.

The Quran says: How shall Allah 
guide (deliver to Hidayet) a person

who disbelieved after their believing, 
compare this verse with the

previous verse where people disbelieved 
after their believed.

Do the Prophets of God preach people to
disbelief once they have already

accepted the truth?

Quran says (about them): when you 
developed doubts about the religion,

when you started creating dissension 
in the religion,

When you had doubts with regard to 
the Prophets of God.

In reality this is Disobedience once you 
have already accepted the truth.

How shall Allah guide (deliver to Hidayet)
a person who disbelieved

after their believing. Muslims wanted 
Him to enjoin them.

Quran says: But how can Allah guide them?

va shahidoo annar rasoola haakkun

and they have borne witness that 
the Messenger is true,

va shahidoo they know it and their 
hearts bear witness that

He the Prophet (pbuh), He is true 
Prophet,

Even after believing in him, yet they 
are lying.

va jeaahumul bayyineat and they have 
clear evidences about the Prophet (pbuh).

Quran says: vaalleahu lea yahdil kaavmaz 
zealimeen

and Allah does not make the unjust people 
attain Guidance (Hidayet).

Allah has a special law according to which
a person is blessed with

His blessing and Guidance. It is not the 
way of God,

He would not like someone deliberately 
unbelieve after he has believed

in the truth and contradict himself 
in suspicion,

not willing to hear the truth from God 
and it is not possible that Allah

would guide them when they are 
already inventing new religion

on their own whims and wishes.

The law of God for guidance is that 
the person should be

a true seeker of truth. Someone who 
would want to understand the reality.

Who is open to facts and bury his suspicion
and doubts.

One who is elevated from his desires 
to learn about reality.

Then of course, God blesses with 
his guidance.

Quran states: O Muslim! Do you wish 
guidance for them?

How shall Allah guide (deliver to Hidayet) 
a people who disbelieved

after their believing and they had borne 
witness that the Messenger is true

and the clear evidence had come to them; 
and Allah does not make

the unjust people attain 
Guidance (Hidayet).

The Quran has the word unjust in a 
connotative sense, “unjust” as in unjust

to one's own life or in another aspect 
like, being unjust is when someone

is doing wrong to someone else 
and second, being unjust to yourself.

Being unjust to yourself means even after 
believing in the truth,

yet you disbelieve in it.

The Quran states; Uleaika jazeauhum 
anna aalayhim laa’nataalleahi

val maleaikati van neasi ajmaaeen.

Their punishment is that upon them 
is the Curse of Allah

and the angels and of mankind, 
all together.

By all of mankind, it means that on 
the day of resurrection everyone

including the good and bad would 
curse on them.

Curse by good believers is obvious, 
but why would the bad too curse on them?

The would say that due to them we 
are in this torment.

The bad would also curse on them.

All of mankind would curse on them.

It further clarifies that the extent of 
curse is actually associated

with the Day of judgement.

Quran says: everyone would curse 
on them.

kHalideena feehea, and they will abide 
in the curse forever,

here it is evident that they would be 
cursed forever in hell.

The consequence of this term “Curse” 
is deliberately not express

in words because it is its own meaning 
of the term.

Healideena feehea, lea yuhaaffafu 
aanhumul aazeabu

the torment will not be lightened from 
them va lea hum yunzaaroon…

you can even get an understanding 
of it, that this extreme torment

would not be lightened from them.

They would be in this torment forever.

These verses are for whom?

Those who have deliberately stood 
rebellion to truth even

after believing in it.

You can find it at any place, only those 
who disbelief after believing

are addressed in these verse.

Committing a sin, having a misunderstanding
of something, feigned negligence

or intentional connivance are altogether 
a different topic.

There are separate laws to deal with 
these things.

But when a community or a group comes 
to the stage of disbelieving

after they had believed, then they are 
punished for their wrong doing,

and the angels and of the mankind,
all together.Abiding in it (Curse) forever;

and the torment remains forever.

the torment will not be lightened from 
them and they will not be looked at

va lea hum yunzaaroon. Illallazeena 
teaboo min baa’di zealika.

There still is a scope.

People who repent would save 
themselves from this torment,

va aaslahoo and rectify their mistakes, 
they would be safe from this torment.

They still have the scope,

the Quran says: since the Prophet 
is present among them,

they must repent and save themselves 
from this torment which

would continue forever.

fa innaalleaha gaafoorun raaheem

surely Allah is Oft-Forgiving,

He blessings are eternal, He is the 
Most Merciful.

Innallazeena kafaroo baa’da 
eemeanihim

Surely, those who disbelieve after 
their believing,

summazdeadoo kufraan then increase 
in disbelief,

and now when they see their death 
is near and lament

for their wrongdoing. lan tukbala 
tavbatuhum,

their (those who fall into Misguidance 
for the third time) repentance

will not be accepted va uleaika 
humud dealloon

and these are they who are in 
Misguidance.

Innallazeena kafaroo va meatoo 
va hum kuffearun

Surely, those who disbelieve and 
die while they are disbelievers,

Quran states that; in order to save 
themselves from this torment,

even if they bring the earth full of 
gold as ransom...

Innallazeena kafaroo va meatoo 
va hum kuffearun fa lan yukbala

min ahaadihim mil’ul aardı zahaban 
va laviftadea bihe,

even if they bring the the earth full of
gold as ransom shall not be accepted from

one of them uleaika lahum aazeabun 
aleemun they shall have

a painful torment va mea lahum min 
neasıreen

for them there shall be no helpers.

Therefore, it was made clear by the 
Quran, that there is no way that

they can be released of this painful 
torment.

There can be nothing to give and take 
on the Day of judgement,

here in context “earth full of gold ” 
interprets there is no scope

of bargain or give and take on 
the Day of judgement.

And what they say of their elders 
and religious leaders.

It is mentioned in the verse that, 
there will be no one for intercession

on the Day of judgement.

This is the last stage, wherein God 
clarified the law for repentance.

Forgiveness is only for those who 
repent on their wrong doing.

Who try to understand the truth.

Those who fall astray and ask 
God for forgiveness.

Forgiveness is not for those who kept 
disbelieving, those who denied

the truth to the last step.

And only after seeing the torment is 
near,

and then ask for repentance to 
save themselves.

This is not among the laws of Allah.

And nothing can be of any good on the 
Day of judgement.

Even the wealth of this world would be 
of no use in the Day of judgement,

those who are in this misunderstanding,
should come out of it.

va mea lahum min neasıreen for them 
there shall be no helpers.

Listen to the simple translation to 
these verses.

Verily, those who purchase a small 
gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant

and their oaths, it is they for whom 
there will be no portion in the Hereafter

and Allah will not speak to them and 
He will not look at them

on the Day of Resurrection.

And will not exonerate them and for 
them there is a painful torment.

And most surely there is a party of them 
(people of the Book) who distort the Book

with their tongues that you may consider 
it to be of the Book and it is not

from the Book and they say that it is 
from Allah even though

it is not from Allah; and they speak 
a lie against Allah knowingly.

It is not (possible) for any human 
being that Allah should give

him the Book and the Wisdom and 
the Prophet-hood,

then he should say to the mankind:

“Be servants to me apart from 
Allah” but rather say:

'as learned men of religion by virtue 
of your constant study and teaching

of the Book onto others’, “be Godly 
servants” (devote yourselves to God)”.

And neither would He enjoin you that 
you should take the angels

and the prophets for lords;

Would He enjoin you with the unbelief 
after you became Muslimoon (submitted ones).

When Allah took the Covenant of the 
Prophets, (He said):

"I have given you the Book and the 
Wisdom, then a Rasul (Messenger)

comes to you confirming that which is
with you (Books Allah had given to you),

you must definitely believe in him and 
you must definitely help him”.

Allah said: “Do you agree and 
accept (My Oath)”? (They) said:

“We agree”. (Allah) said: “Then bear 
witness and I am of the bearers

of witness with you”.

Whoever therefore turns back after 
this (denies the Messenger

that will come after the Prophets), 
they are the Fasiqun

(those who are not in the Way of Allah 
or have gone out of it, transgressors).

Is it then other than Allah’s Religion 
that they seek?

And to Him submit whoever is in the 
heavens and in the earth willingly

and unwillingly, and to Him shall they 
be returned.

Say: “We believe in Allah and in what 
has been sent down to us,

and what was sent down to Abraham, 
Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the sons of Jacob,

and what was given to Moses and Jesus 
and to the Prophets from their Lord;

We do not make any distinction between 
any of them,

and to Him (Allah) we have surrendered”.

And whoever seeks a religion other 
than Islam (Submission to Allah),

it shall not be accepted from him, and in 
the Hereafter he shall be of the losers.

How shall Allah guide (deliver to Hidayet)
a people who disbelieved

after their believing and they had 
borne witness that the Messenger

is true and the clear evidences had 
come to them;

and Allah does not make the unjust 
people attain Guidance (Hidayet).

Their punishment is that upon them (Fasik)
is the Curse of Allah and the angels

and of the mankind, all together.

Abiding in it (Curse) forever; the torment
will not be lightened from them

and they will not be looked at.

Except those who afterwards repent 
and improve (cleanse their souls’ hearts),

then surely Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most 
Merciful.

Surely, those who disbelieve after 
their believing,

then increase in disbelief, their 
(those who

fall into Misguidance for the third 
time) repentance will not be accepted

and these are they who are in 
Misguidance.

Surely, those who disbelieve and die 
while they are disbelievers,

the earth full of gold shall not be 
accepted from one of them

even if he should offer to ransom 
himself with it;

these it is who shall have a painful 
torment and for them there

shall be no helpers.

I say this saying of mine, and I 
seek forgiveness from Allah

for me and for you and for all Muslims.
