He (the Prophet [sallallahu alaihi wasallam]) frowned and turned away because the blind man came to him! And what would make you know (O Muhammad [sallallahu alaihi wasallam] about the condition of the blind man?) Perhaps, (if you had attended to him,) he might acquire self-purification, or he might receive the advice, and the advice would have benefited him. As for the one who does not care (about imaan and deen), then you are giving him (more) attention, while there is no blame on you, if he does not attain self-purification. (But) as for the one who has come to you striving (earnestly), while he fears (Allah Ta\u2018ala and accountability in the Hereafter), then you are turning away from him! Never! (You should not do so!) Indeed, it (the Qur\u2019aan Majeed) is a reminder (and admonition). Then, whosoever wills, he may pay heed to it. It (the Qur\u2019aan Majeed) is (recorded) in honourable sheets, most exalted, (and) purified, (written) by the hands of those scribes (angels who record it from the Lowh-e-Mahfooz, such angels) who are honourable (and) righteous. <\/em><\/p>\n On one occasion, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was engaged in discussion with some of the leaders of the Quraish, inviting them to Islam. Among these leaders were Utbah bin Rabee\u2019ah, Abu Jahl bin Hishaam, and his respected uncle, Hazrat Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), who till then had not yet embraced Islam.<\/p>\n During the discussion, Hazrat Abdullah bin Ummi Maktoom (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), a blind Sahaabi of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), arrived and began asking Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) certain deeni related questions.<\/p>\n In a narration quoted by Allaamah Baghawi (rahimahullah), it is mentioned that account of Hazrat Abdullah bin Ummi Maktoom (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) being blind and unable to see, he did not realise that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was engaged in a discussion with the leaders of the Quraish. Therefore, when he entered the gathering, he immediately posed his questions and interrupted the discussion.<\/p>\n According to Haafiz Ibnu Katheer (rahimahullah), Hazrat Ibnu Ummi Maktoom (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) wanted Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) to teach him a verse of the Qur\u2019aan Majeed. However, since Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was preoccupied and busy in preaching to the leaders of the Quraish and inviting them to Deen, he did not pay attention to this Sahaabi but continued addressing the leaders of the Quraish.<\/p>\n Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) disapproved of the sahaabi’s interruption, and the signs of his disapproval and displeasure appeared on his mubaarak face.<\/p>\n It was on that occasion that Allah Ta\u2018ala revealed the beginning fourteen verses of this surah, to correct Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and give guidance to his ummah regarding how one should deal and conduct in such a situation.<\/p>\n Why did Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) Not Attend to the Sahaabi at that Time?<\/strong><\/p>\n Rasulullah\u2019s (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) blessed heart was filled with deep love and extreme compassion for the ummah. Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) did not want any person to leave this world without imaan and go to Jahannum.<\/p>\n Hence, on this occasion, when Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) found an opportunity to address the leaders of the Quraish, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) regarded this opportunity to be a golden opportunity to preach to them and invite them to Islam.<\/p>\n Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) felt that if these leaders embrace Islam, then this will be a catalyst for other disbelievers embracing Islam, as the people were accustomed to following the religion of their leaders. Hence, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) regarded this meeting with the Quraish to be extremely crucial and important.<\/p>\n Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) had felt that since this Sahaabi had already embraced Islam, he could ask his deeni questions at any time and Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) would be able to easily explain to him. On the other hand, the leaders of the Quraish were not available at all times to listen to the message of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam).<\/p>\n Apart from this, the discussion of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) with the Quraish pertained to imaan and the fundamental beliefs of Islam which are primary matters as compared to the questions of the sahaabi which related to the secondary matters of deen. Hence, from this point of view also, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) felt that the discussion with the Quraish was more important, as it related to the primary aspects of deen.<\/p>\n Furthermore, it is against the etiquette of deen for one to interrupt a discussion which is taking place among people .Hence, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) not attending to this Sahaabi, but continuing to address those he was speaking to, was apparently in conformity to the principles of Islamic etiquette in relation to a gathering i.e. one should continue addressing those to whom one was speaking to, and not divert his attention away from them towards the one who interrupts the discussion.<\/p>\n Overall, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) applied his ijtihaad (islamic reasoning) at this time and dealt with the situation in the manner explained.<\/p>\n It should be borne in mind that whatever Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) did was in the interest of Islam as he wished to save the leaders of the Quraish from the eternal punishment of Jahannum through them embracing Islam.<\/p>\n However, in the sight of Allah Ta\u2018ala, it was more important for Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) to leave the kufaar leaders at that time and to attend to this blind sahaabi as he had come with the true zeal and desire to benefit in Deen whereas the kufaar were not interested in Islam.<\/p>\n Hence, Allah Ta\u2018ala corrected his beloved Rasul (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and showed him which side he should give preference to in such a situation.<\/p>\n In essence, in these verses, Allah Ta\u2018ala explains two important guidelines:<\/p>\n Firstly, by Allah Ta’ala referring to this sahaabi as a \u201cblind man\u201d, it is understood that Hazrat Abdullah bin Ummi Maktoom (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) was excused for interrupting the gathering.<\/p>\n He could not see who was present before Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and did not know that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was engaged in a discussion with them. Hence, in view of his condition, he should be forgiven for not adhering to the etiquettes of a gathering.<\/p>\n Secondly, the principle was laid down that those who sincerely seek the truth of islam for the purpose of following deen should be given preference and priority over those who are heedless and are not interested in the truth.<\/p>\n It is reported that after this incident, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) would show greater honour to this sahaabi compared to before.<\/p>\n On seeing him, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) would address him saying, \u201cWelcome to the one regarding whom my Rabb had corrected me!\u201d Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) would also ask him, \u201cDo you have any need that I can fulfil for you?\u201d (Maariful Quraan 8\/670-675, Tafseer Baghawi 5\/210, Bidaayah wan Nihaayah 3\/88).<\/p>\n The Beautiful Manner in which Allah Ta\u2019ala Corrected His Beloved Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)<\/strong><\/p>\n When one examines these verses, one will see the great love which Allah Ta’ala has for His beloved messenger, Hazrat Nabi Muhammed Mustafaa (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam).<\/p>\n When correcting him. Allah Ta’ala did not address him by his name nor did Allah Ta\u2018ala address him directly, but rather Allah Ta’ala addressed him indirectly.<\/p>\n From this, the Ummah should recognize the high and lofty position of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) in the sight of Allah Ta\u2018ala – our beloved Rasul and Nabi who was the greatest of Allah Ta’ala’s creation and the imaam of all the Ambiyaa and Rasuls who were sent to the world.<\/p>\n An Important Qur\u2019aanic Principle of Teaching and Preaching<\/strong><\/p>\n On one occasion, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was engaged in discussion with some of the leaders of the Quraish, inviting them to Islam. Among these leaders were Utbah bin Rabee\u2019ah, Abu Jahl bin Hishaam, and his respected uncle, Hazrat Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), who till then had not yet embraced Islam.<\/p>\n During the discussion, Hazrat Abdullah bin Ummi Maktoom (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), a blind Sahaabi of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), arrived and began asking Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) certain questions.<\/p>\n On this occasion, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was faced with two different requirements at the same time. On the one hand, he was required to teach a Muslim and to encourage and guide him towards attaining perfection. On the other hand, he had to provide guidance to non-Muslims.<\/p>\n The principle laid down in the aforementioned verses makes it clear that the first requirement (teaching and guiding Muslims) takes priority over the second one (providing guidance to non-Muslims). Hence, it is improper for a person to delay the first task because of the second task.<\/p>\n This indicates that the education of Muslims and being concerned of their reformation is more important than being concerned about the non-Muslims embracing Islam.<\/p>\n The High Status of the Qur\u2019aan Majeed <\/strong><\/p>\n Thereafter, Allah Ta\u2018ala has described the high status of the Qur\u2019aan Majeed saying:<\/p>\n \u0627\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e\u06c1\u064e\u0627\u00a0 \u062a\u064e\u0630\u06e1\u06a9\u0650\u0631\u064e\u06c3\u064c \ufd3f\u06da\u06f1\u06f1\ufd3e \u0641\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0646\u06e1 \u0634\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0621\u064e\u00a0 \u0630\u064e\u06a9\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \ufd3f\u06d8\u06f1\u06f2\ufd3e \u0641\u0650\u06cc\u06e1\u00a0 \u0635\u064f\u062d\u064f\u0641\u064d \u0645\u0651\u064f\u06a9\u064e\u0631\u0651\u064e\u0645\u064e\u06c3\u064d \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f1\u06f3\ufd3e \u0645\u0651\u064e\u0631\u06e1\u0641\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u0639\u064e\u06c3\u064d\u00a0 \u0645\u0651\u064f\u0637\u064e\u06c1\u0651\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c3\u064d\u06ed \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f1\u06f4\ufd3e<\/p>\n Indeed, it (the Qur\u2019aan Majeed) is a reminder (and admonition). Then, whosoever wills, he may pay heed to it. It (the Qur\u2019aan Majeed) is (recorded) in honourable sheets, most exalted, (and) purified<\/em><\/p>\n The word \u201csuhuf\u201d means \u201cmany scriptures\u201d. It can refer to the Lowh-e-Mahfooz (the Preserved Tablet) which contains the Qur\u2019aan Majeed in it, as well as all the scriptures of the past Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam). It is for this reason that Allah Ta\u2018ala refers to it with the plural as \u201csuhuf\u201d (many scriptures), even though the Lowh-e-Mahfooz is a single tablet.<\/p>\n \u201cSuhuf\u201d can also refer to the many scriptures which the angels record from the Lowh-e-Mahfooz, or the scriptures which the Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam) and their followers record when the wahi is brought to them.<\/p>\n The word \u201cmukarramah\u201d means \u201chonourable\u201d, and the word \u201cmarfoo\u2019ah\u201d means \u201cexalted\u201d. These are two attributes of the Lowh-e-Mahfooz \u2013 that it holds great honour in the sight of Allah Ta\u2018ala and it is exalted and kept high above the seven heavens. These two attributes can also be attributes of the Qur\u2019aan Majeed and the scriptures of the Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam).<\/p>\n The word \u201cmutahharah\u201d means purified. The Lowh-e-Mahfooz and the scriptures of the Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam) are kept pure from dirt or from any type of adulteration.<\/p>\n In regard to the scriptures of the other Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam), then they were kept pure from adulteration as long as the Nabi lived. However, after the demise of the Nabi, since Allah Ta\u2018ala did not take the responsibility of protecting their scriptures, people began to change them and distort them.<\/p>\n As for the Qur\u2019aan Majeed, then Allah Ta\u2018ala has taken divine onus and responsibility to protect it from adulterations and interpolations. Hence, in this verse, when Allah Ta\u2018ala says \u201cmutahharah\u201d in reference to the Qur\u2019aan Majeed, it means that the Qur\u2019aan Majeed is protected and kept pure from all types of adulterations and changes.<\/p>\n Similarly, the Qur\u2019aan Majeed is kept pure from those who are in an unclean state as they are prohibited from touching the Qur\u2019aan Majeed (e.g. women who are in the state of haidh or nifaas, or those who are in need of wudhu or ghusl for janaabah).<\/p>\n \u0628\u0650\u0627\u064e\u06cc\u06e1\u062f\u0650\u06cc\u06e1 \u0633\u064e\u0641\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c3\u064d \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f1\u06f5\ufd3e \u06a9\u0650\u0631\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064d\u06ed\u00a0 \u0628\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c3\u064d \ufd3f\u0615\u06f1\u06f6\ufd3e<\/p>\n (written) by the hands of such scribes (angels who record it from the Lowh-e-Mahfooz, such angels) who are honourable (and) righteous.<\/em><\/p>\n The word \u201csafarah\u201d is either the plural of the word \u201csaafir\u201d which means \u201cscribe\u201d, or the plural of the word \u201csafeer\u201d which means \u201cenvoy\u201d or \u201cconveyor\u201d. In both cases, the verse refers to the angels or the Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam) and their followers.<\/p>\n The angels record the wahi from the Lowh-e-Mahfooz and then convey it to the Ambiyaa, and the Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam) and their followers record the wahi and thereafter convey it to the ummah.<\/p>\n The Ulama of the Muslim ummah may also be included in this verse, as they are the representatives of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) to preserve the wahi and convey it to the Muslim ummah.<\/p>\n Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said that the one who is proficient in reciting the Qur\u2019aan will be in company of those angels who are the honourable, righteous scribes (who recorded the wahi). The one who recites the Qur\u2019aan Majeed and stammers, and experiences difficulty when reciting (as he is not fluent), he shall receive a double reward. (Saheeh Muslim #798)<\/em><\/p>\n This shows that the one who is not fluent yet still perseveres will receive double reward – one for recitation of the Qur\u2019aan Majeed, and the other for bearing the difficulty. This also indicates that the one who is proficient in reciting the Qur\u2019aan Majeed will receive countless rewards, as indicated in the above Hadith – that he will be in the company of the righteous and high-ranking angels.<\/p>\n \u0642\u064f\u062a\u0650\u0644\u064e\u00a0 \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0627\u0650\u0646\u06e1\u0633\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064f \u0645\u064e\u0627\u06e4\u00a0 \u0627\u064e\u06a9\u06e1\u0641\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \ufd3f\u0615\u06f1\u06f7\ufd3e<\/p>\n May man (the kaafir) be destroyed! How disbelieving is he!<\/em><\/p>\n In the previous verses, Allah Ta\u2018ala spoke about the exalted position of the Qur\u2019aan Majeed which is the greatest favour of Allah Ta\u2018ala upon mankind. Allah Ta\u2018ala sent down the Qur\u2019aan Majeed, and through the Qur\u2019aan Majeed (and the Sunnah of Rasulullah [sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam] which is the commentary of the Qur\u2019aan), Allah Ta\u2018ala granted man the entire deen of Islam.<\/p>\n Hence, in this verse, Allah Ta\u2018ala warns the kaafir that on account of him disbelieving in the Qur\u2019aan Majeed and rejecting this great favour of Allah Ta\u2018ala, he will be severely punished in the Hereafter and doomed to dwell in Hell forever. Therefore, Allah Ta\u2018ala mentioned, \u201cMay man (the kaafir) be destroyed! How disbelieving is he!\u201d<\/p>\n In the coming verses, Allah Ta\u2018ala discusses two important aspects in order to make man understand His supreme might and power over man.<\/p>\n The first aspect is Allah Ta\u2018ala creating man in his physical form, fashioning his limbs and faculties and decreeing his taqdeer (predestination) from the beginning of his worldly life until the end of his life.<\/p>\n The second aspect is Allah Ta\u2018ala blessing man with sustenance for himself and his animals, through which man benefits in this worldly life.<\/p>\n Through man reflecting over these two important aspects, man will reach the conclusion that there is no being worthy of worship and worthy of obedience besides Allah Ta\u2018ala, and thus this will cause man to believe in Allah Ta\u2018ala and follow His divine kitaab, the Qur\u2019aan Majeed.<\/p>\n The First Aspect \u2013 Allah Ta\u2018ala Creating Man, Fashioning His Limbs and Faculties and Decreeing His Taqdeer<\/strong><\/p>\n \u0645\u0650\u0646\u06e1\u00a0 \u0627\u064e\u06cc\u0651\u0650\u00a0 \u0634\u064e\u06cc\u06e1\u0621\u064d\u00a0 \u062e\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \ufd3f\u0615\u06f1\u06f8\ufd3e \u0645\u0650\u0646\u06e1\u00a0 \u0646\u0651\u064f\u0637\u06e1\u0641\u064e\u06c3\u064d \u0615 \u062e\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e\u06c1\u0657\u00a0 \u0641\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0651\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f1\u06f9\ufd3e \u062b\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0628\u0650\u06cc\u06e1\u0644\u064e\u00a0 \u06cc\u064e\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f2\u06f0\ufd3e \u062b\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e\u00a0 \u0627\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627\u062a\u064e\u06c1\u0657\u00a0 \u0641\u064e\u0627\u064e\u0642\u06e1\u0628\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f2\u06f1\ufd3e \u062b\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e\u00a0 \u0627\u0650\u0630\u064e\u0627 \u0634\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0621\u064e\u00a0 \u0627\u064e\u0646\u06e1\u0634\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \ufd3f\u0615\u06f2\u06f2\ufd3e<\/p>\n From what thing (substance) did He (Allah) create him (man)?

Then, when He (Allah Ta\u2018ala) wills, He will resurrect him (on the Day of Qiyaamah).<\/em><\/p>\n In these verses, Allah Ta\u2018ala shows man how He created him from a drop of semen, and while he was in the womb of his mother, Allah Ta\u2018ala fashioned his body limbs and faculties in due proportion. In three layers of darkness (the belly, the womb and the amniotic membrane), Allah Ta\u2018ala fashioned the physical form of the child in all beauty and perfection.<\/p>\n Thereafter, when the child was fully developed and formed in the womb of the mother, then despite weighing many kilograms, Allah Ta\u2018ala made the pathway easy for the child to come out from the mother and enter the world.<\/p>\n According to the above explanation, the word \u201cqaddara\u201d in the verse refers to Allah Ta\u2018ala proportioning the physical limbs and faculties of the child while he was in the womb of his mother. However, the word \u201cqaddara\u201d can also translate as \u201cdecided his taqdeer (predestination)\u201d while he was in the womb of his mother.<\/p>\n According to this translation, the meaning of the verse will be that while the child was still in the womb of his mother, Allah Ta\u2018ala decreed his taqdeer (predestination) in regard to four things viz. (1) his complete life span in the world (2) his sustenance which he will be granted during his life (3) his deeds and actions which he will carry out and (4) whether he will be fortunate or unfortunate in the Hereafter (i.e. whether he will pass away upon imaan and be from the people of Jannah, or whether he will pass away upon kufr and be from the people of Jahannum). These four things are mentioned in the Hadith of Saheeh Muslim.<\/p>\n Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas\u2019ood (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said, \u201cIndeed, each one of you, his creation (and form) is developed while he is in the womb of his mother during every forty-day period. While he is being formed, his initial creation is a clot of blood in the similar manner (i.e. for a period of forty days), then it (the blood clot) develops into a piece of flesh in the similar manner (i.e. for a period of forty days, and after the development of the child,) Allah Ta\u2018ala sends an angel to blow the soul into the child, and Allah Ta\u2018ala commands the angel to write the taqdeer of the child in regard to his sustenance, his lifespan, his actions, and whether he will be fortunate or unfortunate (in the Hereafter).\u201d (Saheeh Muslim #2643)<\/em><\/p>\n However, according to some Mufassireen, the above aayah wherein Allah Ta\u2018ala says \u201cHe made the path easy for him\u201d refers to Allah Ta\u2018ala showing man the path of righteousness and good in the world and making it easy for him to follow that path.<\/p>\n For man\u2019s guidance, Allah Ta\u2018ala sent the Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam), the divine, heavenly scriptures, and the rightly-guided followers of the Ambiyaa (the Ulama), to conscientize man of his original goal in life and remind him that he will have to stand before Allah Ta\u2018ala for reckoning on the Day of Qiyaamah.<\/p>\n \u062b\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e\u00a0 \u0627\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627\u062a\u064e\u06c1\u0657\u00a0 \u0641\u064e\u0627\u064e\u0642\u06e1\u0628\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f2\u06f1\ufd3e \u062b\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e\u00a0 \u0627\u0650\u0630\u064e\u0627 \u0634\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0621\u064e\u00a0 \u0627\u064e\u0646\u06e1\u0634\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \ufd3f\u0615\u06f2\u06f2\ufd3e<\/p>\n Then He (Allah Ta\u2018ala) caused him (man) to die and put him in his grave.

If he had brought imaan and carried out righteous deeds, he will be granted Jannah and the bounties of Jannah.<\/p>\n On the contrary, if he disbelieved in Allah Ta\u2018ala and remained on the path of defiance, then he will be doomed to dwell in Hell for eternity.<\/p>\n The Second Aspect – Allah Ta\u2018ala Blessing Man with Sustenance for Himself and His Animals<\/strong><\/p>\n \u06a9\u064e\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0627\u00a0 \u0644\u064e\u0645\u0651\u064e\u0627 \u06cc\u064e\u0642\u06e1\u0636\u0650 \u0645\u064e\u0627\u06e4\u00a0 \u0627\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0631\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \ufd3f\u0615\u06f2\u06f3\ufd3e \u0641\u064e\u0644\u06e1\u06cc\u064e\u0646\u06e1\u0638\u064f\u0631\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0627\u0650\u0646\u06e1\u0633\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064f\u00a0 \u0627\u0650\u0644\u0670\u06cc\u00a0 \u0637\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0627\u0645\u0650\u06c1\u0656\u06e4 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f2\u06f4\ufd3e \u0627\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627 \u0635\u064e\u0628\u064e\u0628\u06e1\u0646\u064e\u0627\u00a0 \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0645\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0621\u064e \u0635\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064b\u0627 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f2\u06f5\ufd3e \u062b\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e \u0634\u064e\u0642\u064e\u0642\u06e1\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0627\u064e\u0631\u06e1\u0636\u064e \u0634\u064e\u0642\u0651\u064b\u0627 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f2\u06f6\ufd3e \u0641\u064e\u0627\u064e\u0646\u06e1\u06e2\u0628\u064e\u062a\u06e1\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0641\u0650\u06cc\u06e1\u06c1\u064e\u0627 \u062d\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064b\u0627 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f2\u06f7\ufd3e \u0648\u0651\u064e \u0639\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0628\u064b\u0627 \u0648\u0651\u064e\u00a0 \u0642\u064e\u0636\u06e1\u0628\u064b\u0627 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f2\u06f8\ufd3e \u0648\u0651\u064e\u00a0 \u0632\u064e\u06cc\u06e1\u062a\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u0646\u064b\u0627 \u0648\u0651\u064e \u0646\u064e\u062e\u06e1\u0644\u064b\u0627 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f2\u06f9\ufd3e \u0648\u0651\u064e\u00a0 \u062d\u064e\u062f\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0626\u0650\u0642\u064e \u063a\u064f\u0644\u06e1\u0628\u064b\u0627 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f3\u06f0\ufd3e \u0648\u0651\u064e\u00a0 \u0641\u064e\u0627\u06a9\u0650\u06c1\u064e\u06c3\u064b\u00a0 \u0648\u0651\u064e \u0627\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064b\u0627 \ufd3f\u06d9\u06f3\u06f1\ufd3e \u0645\u0651\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0639\u064b\u0627\u00a0 \u0644\u0651\u064e\u06a9\u064f\u0645\u06e1\u00a0 \u0648\u064e \u0644\u0650\u0627\u064e\u0646\u06e1\u0639\u064e\u0627\u0645\u0650\u06a9\u064f\u0645\u06e1 \ufd3f\u0615\u06f3\u06f2\ufd3e<\/p>\n No, man (the kaafir) has not yet fulfilled what He (Allah Ta\u2018ala) had commanded him.

However, the horror on that day will cause each person to be heedless of everybody around him. Each person will try to flee from his own siblings, parents, spouse and children out of fear that they may lay a claim against him by Allah Ta\u2018ala and ask him for his good deeds. No one will want to help anyone on that day.<\/p>\n In another verse, Allah Ta\u2018ala says that the only relationships which will be of benefit on the Day of Qiyaamah will be the relationships people had in the world for the sake of Allah Ta\u2018ala.

They will be granted gardens of bliss to reside therein for eternity, and indeed, on that day, their faces will be beaming with joy and happiness over the success which Allah Ta\u2018ala will grant them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" He (the Prophet [sallallahu alaihi wasallam]) frowned and turned away because the blind man came to him!
