24. Then Allah will punish him with the greatest pun

1. (The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away,
2. Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. Abdullah bin Umm-Maktoom, who came to the
Prophet (Peace be upon him) while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs).
3. But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)?
4. Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him?
5. As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient,
6. To him you attend;
7. What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger,
your duty is to convey the Message of Allah).
8. But as to him who came to you running.
9. And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment),
10. Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another,

15. In the hands of scribes (angels).
16. Honourable and obedient.

19. From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion;
20. Then He makes the Path easy for him;
21. Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave;
22. Then, when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again).
23. Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him.
24. Then let man look at his food,
25. That We pour forth water in abundance,
26. And We split the earth in clefts,
27. And We cause therein the grain to grow,
28. And grapes and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle),

30. And gardens, dense with many trees,
31. And fruits and Abba (herbage, etc.),
32. (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
1. By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with great violence;
2. By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers);
3. And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits, etc.).
4. And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the angels or stars or the horses, etc.).
5. And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers
will be called to account).
6. On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the mountains will
shake violently (and everybody will die),
7. The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be raised up),
8. (Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety.
9. Their eyes cast down.
10. They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life?
11. "Even after we are crumbled bones?"
12. They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!"
13. But only, it will be a single Zajrah (shout (i.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet)). (See Verse
37:19).
14. When, behold, they find themselves over the earth alive after their death,
15. Has there come to you the story of Moosa (Moses)?
16. When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Toowa,
17. Go to Firaun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism,
disbelief, etc.).
18. And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)",
19. And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him?
20. Then (Moosa (Moses)) showed him the great sign (miracles).
21. But (Firaun (Pharaoh)) belied and disobeyed;
22. Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
23. Then he gathered his people and cried aloud,
24. Saying: "I am your lord, most high",
25. So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last (i.e. his saying: "I am your lord, most high")
(see Verse 79:24)) and first ((i.e. his saying, "O chiefs! I know not that you have a god other than
I" (see Verse 28:38)) transgression.
26. Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah.
27. Are you more difficult to create, or is the heaven that He constructed?
28. He raised its height, and He has equally ordered it,
29. Its night He covers with darkness, and its forenoon He brings out (with light).
30. And after that He spread the earth;
31. And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture;
32. And the mountains He has fixed firmly;
33. (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.
34. But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e. the Day of Recompense, etc.),
35. The Day when man shall remember what he strove for,

37. Then, for him who Tagha (transgressed all bounds, in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of
disobedience to Allah).
38. And preferred the life of this world (by following his evil desires and lusts),
39. Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire;
40. But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil
desires, and lusts.
41. Verily, Paradise will be his abode.
42. They ask you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) about the Hour, - when will be its appointed
time?
43. You have no knowledge to say anything about it,
44. To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof?
45. You (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) are only a warner for those who fear it,
46. The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world) except an afternoon or a
morning.

23. They will abide therein for ages,
24. Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink.
25. Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges.

30. So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment.

32. Gardens and grapeyards;
33. And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age;

35. No Laghw (dirty, false, evil talk) shall they hear therein, nor lying;
36. A reward from your Lord, an ample calculated gift (according to the best of their good deeds).
37. (From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatsoever is in between them, the Most
Beneficent, none can dare to speak with Him (on the Day of Resurrection except after His Leave).
38. The Day that Ar-Rooh (Jibrael (Gabriel) or another angel) and the angels will stand forth in
rows, none shall speak except him whom the Most Beneficent (Allah) allows, and he will speak what is right.
39. That is without doubt the True Day, so, whosoever wills, let him seek a place with (or a way to)
His Lord (by obeying Him in this worldly life)!
40. Verily, We have warned you of a near torment, the Day when man will see that (the deeds)
which his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever.

Chapter 78 - The Tidings

What was the Religion of Christ Jesus? By Dawood Adeeb

An important point of view, coming from a former Christian who was studying to become a minister.
Speaker: Dawud Adib (Reverted American Muslim of over 25 yrs) Source: [www.islaam.ca] Given: 1999

Jesus in Islam
Naturally, when we are speaking about Christianity, we are speaking about the religion that is attributed to ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam, who is referred to as Jesus Christ. Christ, of course, is not his second name, as some erroneously believe. Rather, his name was ʿĪsá and he was the son of Mary.
As Muslims, we believe that ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam was from the greatest of the Prophets and Messengers that Allāh has sent to creation. We believe that he was born miraculously. We believe in the virgin conception. We believe that he carried out miracles while he was alive, and we believe that he ascended to Allāh without being killed.
We do not believe that ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam was a part of God or the Godhead. We do not believe that ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam died on the cross and was then resurrected. We do not believe that he was with Allāh in the beginning of creation nor participated in creating. We do not believe that he was God on earth. Rather, we believe that he was a Prophet and a Messenger, similar to the Messengers of the past, except that he was from the Ulul-ʿAzm: the five major firmly intentioned Messengers, who Allāh commanded the Messenger Muḥammad to remain patient as they were patient. As Allāh has mentioned,
“Therefore, be patient (O Muḥammad) as those with firm will and resolution among the Messengers were patient (after they were rejected). Quran Al-Ahqaf 46:35

The Call of Jesus Was the Same as Muhammad
So the one who looks at the early true message of ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam, he will see that there is no doubt, that his call was the same as the call of the Messenger Muḥammad, and the early followers of ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam are most resemblant to Muslimīn in our time. In terms of their practice, belief, morals and ethics, they are more resemblant to Muslims than they are to proponents of the Christian faith.
Their call revolved around:
1. The belief that Allāh alone is the Creator and Sustainer of creation.Therefore, He alone is deserving of worship.
2. That the greatest sin is Shirk, which is to attribute partners to Allāh in those things that are His Sole Right (such as creation, sustaining creation and being worshipped and called upon etc.).
3. That the Prophets and Messengers all called creation to worship Allāh alone, and not themselves.
4. That they were sent to be an example for mankind.
5. That Jesus was no different in that regard, and thus he never refers to himself as Allāh or part of Allāh, even in the distorted scriptures of the Bible.
6. Salvation is through believing in Allāh and performing righteous deeds and continual repentance.
7. That one needs no intermediaries in order to do so.
8. That our Forgiving Lord does not require a physical sacrifice in order to forgive sin.
9. That no bearer of a burden will bear the burden of another, not ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam—May the peace of Allāh be upon him—or anyone else for that matter. We will all be recompensed for what we have earned.

We do not believe that ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam was a part of God or the Godhead. We do not believe that ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam died on the cross and was then resurrected. We do not believe that he was with Allāh in the beginning of creation nor participated in creating. We do not believe that he was God on earth. Rather, we believe that he was a Prophet and a Messenger, similar to the Messengers of the past, except that he was from the Ulul-ʿAzm: the five major firmly intentioned Messengers, who Allāh commanded the Messenger Muḥammad to remain patient as they were patient. As Allāh has mentioned, “Therefore, be patient (O Muḥammad) as those with firm will and resolution among the Messengers were patient (after they were rejected). Quran Al-Ahqaf 46:35

The Call of Jesus Was the Same as Muḥammad
So the one who looks at the early true message of ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam, he will see that there is no doubt, that his call was the same as the call of the Messenger Muḥammad, and the early followers of ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam are most resemblant to Muslimīn in our time. In terms of their practice, belief, morals and ethics, they are more resemblant to Muslims than they are to proponents of the Christian faith.
Their call revolved around:
1. The belief that Allāh alone is the Creator and Sustainer of creation.Therefore, He alone is deserving of worship.
2. That the greatest sin is Shirk, which is to attribute partners to Allāh in those things that are His Sole Right (such as creation, sustaining creation and being worshipped and called upon etc.).
3. That the Prophets and Messengers all called creation to worship Allāh alone, and not themselves.
4. That they were sent to be an example for mankind.
5. That Jesus was no different in that regard, and thus he never refers to himself as Allāh or part of Allāh, even in the distorted scriptures of the Bible.
6. Salvation is through believing in Allāh and performing righteous deeds and continual repentance.
7. That one needs no intermediaries in order to do so.
8. That our Forgiving Lord does not require a physical sacrifice in order to forgive sin.
9. That no bearer of a burden will bear the burden of another, not ʿĪsá Ibn Maryam—May the peace of Allāh be upon him—or anyone else for that matter. We will all be recompensed for what we have earned.
