Ahsan Hanif – Quran Tafseer – Page 131 – The Regret Of Disbelievers

See Money.

Welcome

to another episode of our tafsir page by page. Inshallah, today we

are on page 131

which is in the seventh just Suratul I am in the previous

episode, we spoke about how those people who turn away from Allah

azza wa jal, are not willing to accept the testimony of Allah

subhanho wa Taala or his revelation or what was sent to his

prophets and messengers, Ali mu Salat was salam. But instead, they

wish to attribute or ascribe lies to Allah azza wa jal, by saying

that there are gods that are worthy of worship besides

SubhanaHu taala, or they deny the existence of Allah azza wa jal,

and therefore again his right to be worshiped alone. Jalafi says

that the believers are those who absolve themselves and free

themselves from shirk, and they turn to the testimony of Allah

that He alone is worthy of being worshiped, as for those who take

the testimony of others and therefore worship that which is

besides Allah, Azza wa jal, those are the people who are the most

oppressive, because they deny Allah, and they deny the message

of Allah, and they deny the signs of Allah azza wa jal, and also

they ascribe to Allah azza wa jal lies. Those are the people that

will be gathered on New Moon Qiyamah, and they will be

resurrected, and Allah azza wa jal will command that they bring forth

their partners, their gods, that they worship besides Allah AJ as

partners, besides him, and they won't be able to do so because

none will respond to their call. None will respond to their

invitation. No one will come forth to help them or to assist them, or

to guide them or to save them on that day. So Allah, Subhanahu wa

tells us that when they see that the disbelievers themselves will

deny that they ever committed shirk, Allah says, see how they

ascribe lies to their own sons. They lived a life of shirk, and

now on the Day of Judgment, when it is time to account, they deny

that they ever committed shirk. And so Allah, subhanaw taala says

that those people who come to the Prophet of Allah and listen to his

words from amongst them are those who are not sincere. So Allah has

covered their hearts, covered their ears, covered their eyes.

They're not able to seek guidance because they don't want guidance.

They're not able to find the truth because they don't want to seek

the truth. And so Allah subhanaw taala says that they instead

prevent people from coming to Allah's guidance and hearing his

words, just as they themselves prefer to stay away from it, from

the verses that we're going to begin with today, which is verse

27 of Suratul and I'm Allah subhanahu taala, will now speak

about those people when they come to stand on the day of judgment on

Yom Kiyama and Allah azza wa jal says, erudilla, rajeem,

wala Utara e dubu Island, Nari, fakalu, YALI, tenan, the baby, if

you could only see when they are made to stand before the fire, how

they will say, If only we could be sent back, we will not reject the

revelations of Our Lord, but be amongst the believers. Allah

subhanaw taala says, If only you could see what a Utara, and this

is you seeing, meaning imagine or know that on that day when they

will come on your mum, qiyama, and they will be made to call upon

their gods and lords, besides Allah, and none will respond to

them. So they will know the reality of their situation, and

they will know that they are destined for the fire in the Waki

four island now, and they will be made to stand before it, meaning

that this is your abode. This is your final destination. This is

the punishment of Allah, Azza wa jal that you denied they used to

ridicule and mock. They used to claim doesn't even exist. This is

now your abode for all of eternity. Fakalu, when they see

that, and they realize that they will say YALI Tana wo to us,

meaning that they will have Remos and regret upon that stage or at

that stage and at that time, yalitana, wala nuk, Avi, ayati or

abina, when aku naminal, meaning they will say, Woe to us, if only

we could be sent back. We will not reject the revelations of Our

Lord, but be from amongst the believers. So they will have

remorse and they will have regret, but it will be on a day on which

regrowth, remorse and regret will not benefit anyone, and that is

why they are different to the believers, because the believers

are those people who in this dunya, they have remorse and

regret, and they make Toba to Allah AJ, because that is what

Toba is. Toba one of its.

Main pillars and aspects and conditions is that you show

remorse and regret, that you regret the sins that you

committed, that you show true, sincere remorse before Allah

Azzawajal, that yes, you did wrong, and you know that you did

wrong. So you turn to Allah Azzawajal, and you turn to Allah

azza wa jal, regretting that you followed the path of shaytaan over

and above the path of Allah Azzawajal. So you make Istighfar,

and you seek the forgiveness and mercy of Allah azza wa jal, and

you make tawbah, and you ask Allah to repent upon you, and that Allah

forgives you for your sins. Whereas those Muslims who in this

life don't make tawbah from their sins, they are always under the

threat of punishment of Allah, even on your Qiyamah, they won't

stay in the fire for eternity, but they are under the threat of the

punishment of Allah. Why? Because they didn't show that expression,

or they didn't express that show of emotion, that show of remorse

and regret.

And so Allah AJ loves the people of tawbah in Allah, your hybrid

tahwa Being Allah loves those people who frequently repent

because they show remorse and regret at a time and a place where

there is something that you can do about it, at a time when, a place

when that remorse and regret and Toba will benefit you. And that is

why the Prophet told us, sal Allahu Ali was telling me the

Hadith Kullu Beni Adam, Akbar wahera In a tawa Abu, all of the

children of Adam commit mistakes and sins, but the Best of those

who commit frequent sins are those who frequently make Toba because

your whole life is going to be full of sin, or there's going to

be numerous sins that you commit. But the ones who are best are

those who show the consistent and continuous remorse and regret and

make Toba to Allah. Azza wa jal, these people, they didn't do that

in the dunya. So now on Yom al Qiyamah, alongside the disbelief,

they will stand before Allah, and they will say, If only we didn't

reject the prophets, if only we are not rejected, rejected the

message of Allah, if only we are not rejected the revelations of

Allah, if only we could now go back to the dunya, start again. Oh

Allah, you would see that we wouldn't reject anything, we

wouldn't deny anything. We would believe, and we would be from the

people of iman, Allah, subhanaw taala says, refuting this in verse

number 28

bell badala, hum Kanu, mean, Kabul wala, ruola, doli, Manu, Horan Hua

in the moon, no, the truth they used to hide will become all clear

to them. Even if they could be brought back, they would only

return to the very things that there was, the very thing that was

forbidden to them. They are such liars. So Allah subhanaw taala

says that they will they used to the truth that they used to hide

will be all clear to them, meaning that that is that in their hearts,

all that there was was evil. They only wanted to do as they pleased

in the dunya, to follow their temptations and desires, to follow

the path of shaytaan and the whisperings of shaytan, because

that was more pleasing to them and to their souls and their desires.

And they turned away from Allah subhanahu wa they make this claim

our last send this back. And if you do, you will see that we will

accept and we will believe Allah. AJ says, No, they won't. Word of

Rudd, Lani Manu, anhu, wainna Hum la Kare moon, that if they were to

be brought back, they would only return to the very thing that that

was that was forbidden to them, meaning their shirk because they

were liars. So those people, if they were to turn back or return

back to the dunya, despite having seen Allah, seen your mum,

Qiyamah, seen the fire and the signs, they still won't accept

Imaan because their hearts are corrupt and evil. And so they

would find a way, or the temptations of the Dunia and

shaytaan would overcome them, or they would find a way of

rationalizing it in their own and using their own faulty logic. They

would use a way to say that they This, again, was some type of

sorcery, or it was a dream, or it was a vision, whatever it may be.

And they will use and find a way to turn away from Allah subhanaw

taala again, because those people who are sincere in this life will

find guidance the first time. They will find Allah azza wa jal, the

first time, they will find Islam, the first time. And those people

who leave the dunya without having found it, then those people will

never have accepted guidance. And that is why Allah Azza gives to

people. Time gives to them. Time gives to them the ability to seek

guidance. Gives to them the ability to find, to find the path

of Allah azza wa jal. And that is why Allah subhanahu Taala doesn't

punish immediately, but he gives respite, and he's patient, and

he's forbearing Subhanallah Taala so that people cannot come on

yamaltiyama and say, Oh, Allah, I didn't have enough time. You

didn't give me the opportunity and the ability and the chance to

believe. And so Allah Aj is fair and just with all of his creation.

And that is why, as we know from the Sunnah of the Prophet

salAllahu alayhi wasallam, that those people who didn't have the

ability to receive guidance, maybe someone didn't have the mental

capacity to understand. They were ill from the moment that they were

born. Never had the ability or the capacity to understand. Or those

people who came or lived at a time where no prophet or message

reached them, they lived in a far off corner of the earth, no one

came to them, no message reached them. Or maybe they were people

who you.

According to some scholars, the youngsters from the people of the

non Muslims, their children who die in childbirth or die at a

young age, Allah. AJ, knows best what they will do. The Prophet

salallahu alayhi wa sallam told us that these people and their likes

will be tested by Allah. AJ, they will have their own test because

their time in the dunya finished a new moon. Allah is just to them

because no message came to them or didn't have the ability to

comprehend the message. So Allah will test them on Yom kiyam in a

way that he determines SubhanAllah. Those people who are

pure and sincere will always take guidance when the opportunity

comes to them, but those people who reject will never seek

guidance, even if they would see all of the signs of Allah azza wa

jal. And that is something which we know from the Stories of the

Prophets. Doesn't Allah AJ tell us about Pharaoh and others who saw

sign after sign after sign from Allah azza wa jal. Did they accept

it wasn't that they rejected the first sign and accepted the

second, or rejected two and accepted the third. Many, many

signs came to them and they rejected them, all, some of them

major signs from Allah Azzawajal, but even so, they rejected it. And

that is Allah. AJ says rather what they used to think. As Allah says

in verse number 29 wakalu in here, ilahaya, tuna, dunya wa man

hanubi, member within they said, There is nothing beyond our life

in this world. We shall not be raised from the dead. Meaning,

they never accepted resurrection of the day of judgment in the

first place. So why would they work towards it? Why would they

prepare for it? Why would they spend their lives living in

accordance to the commands of Allah Azzawajal? If they fear no

retribution, they fear no resurrection, they fear no

accounting before Allah subhanahu wa and that is why one of the

greatest things that inspires or motivates the Muslim to do good

and urges them to turn towards Allah. Azza wa jal. Is this aspect

of Yan qiyama of belief in Allah. Azza wa jal. How often does the

Prophet, salallahu alayhi wasallam saying is a Hadith, mankind will

Yamil, ah, whosoever believes in Allah in the last day, and that's

because the mean the believer knows that they will stand before

Allah, knows that they will be questioned by Allah, knows that

all of their deeds will be held to account before Allah. Azza wa jal,

and so when you're going to be accounted and questioned and

judged, you prepare for that judgment, just as you would in

this life. If you have a court date, someone's made an accusation

against you, you have to go to court and stand before a judge,

and you have to be judged and accounted for. You're going to

prepare. You're going to hire your solicitors and lawyers. You're

going to get your paperwork, paper, paperwork in order. You're

going to find your witnesses, your statements, your testimonies, and

you're going to have all of that prepared so that when you stand

before the judge, you can present your case. So likewise, the

believer knows that they will stand before Allah, that Allah

will question them, that Allah will hold them to account. So why

then will they not prepare for that day? Why won't they prepare

for that standing before Allah? Azza wa jal, and that is why, when

the Bedouin man came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam, he said, Oh, Messenger of Allah, when is the hour? The

Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam replied, and what have you

prepared for it? Meaning, even if the hour was to come today or

tomorrow or next year or in 100 years or 1000 years from now, what

is your preparation for that day? That's what you do. You Prepare

from now for that standing before Allah subhanahu wa, they denied

resurrection, so therefore they denied or they didn't use their

time wisely in the dunya,

Allah Azza says in verse number 30,

wala Utara in working for Allah be him call Ali sahada, Bill Hakka,

Kalu, Bella or Rabina. Kala for do either baby Macon Tok for on. If

you could only see when they are made to stand before their Lord.

How he will say, is this not real? They will say, yes, indeed, by our

Lord. He will say, then taste the torment for having this believed.

These are the people who denied the resurrection. Allah azza wa

jal says that this thing that they denied, that they said, it's only

the life of this world. We will die. There is nothing after it.

Allah AJ says, then remember that they will stand before their Lord.

And if you could only see when they are made to stand before

their Lord on your monkey, Ara on the Day of Resurrection, and they

will be asked, Allah will ask them. Alayhisa bin Haqq, isn't

this real, that which you denied, that which you said would never

take place? Isn't this happening right now? Isn't this the new

reality that you're in Kalu Bala, they will say, Yes, oh our Lord.

What Rabbi na O our Lord. We agree. We attest that this is

real. They will have to accept it that day. Their denial of Yamil

Qayyarah will not benefit them. The denial of Jannah and Jahannam

will not benefit them. Their denial of resurrection will not

benefit them. So Allah AJ will say to them, adaba bima, kutum tak

foreign then taste the torment for having disbelieved that which you

rejected. That is now real. You will taste the punishment of

Allah. Azza wa jal for having disbelieved in that

Allah. Subhanaw taala then says in verse number 31

Qaddafi, Sinhala.

Lady

Colonia Asmaa,

one lost indeed are those who deny the meeting with their Lord, until

when the hour suddenly arrives, they will say, alas for us, that

we disregarded this. They will bear their burdens on their backs.

How terrible those burdens will be. These are the people who will

suffer the most loss, those people who think that this life is all

there is. There is nothing after it. There is no resurrection or

accounting. So they live their life according to their desires

and their whims. They don't worship Allah. They don't obey the

commands of Allah. They don't stay away from the prohibitions of

Allah. They don't heed the words and the reminders and warnings of

Allah, Azza wa jal. Those people will suffer the most loss because

they deny the meeting with Allah, Azza wa jal and the resurrection,

but then the Hour will come upon them suddenly, and the hour is Yom

Kiyama before each and every single individual upon the earth.

The hour is also their death, because once death comes upon

them, that is the hour that has been established upon them. There

is no weak horse for them not to come back and do more in the dunya

Hatta, Ida, Jaya tumta. So then, when the hour arrives upon them,

suddenly, they will say, Ratana Alama, for Ratana fiha. They will

say, alas for us, that we disregarded this. They will have

remorse and regret that they allowed all of their life to pass

by, the many years and decades that they spent upon this earth,

and they didn't benefit from that time. They didn't accumulate good

deeds. They didn't accumulate Iman and worship of Allah. They will

have remorse, but as we said at the beginning of this episode, on

that day, that remorse will not benefit them. No benefit will come

as a result of that remosa Rahuri Allah says. But rather, they will

bear the burdens on their backs, the burdens of their ship and of

their kofar and their disbelief and their sins and their

oppression and their mocking of the religion and turning away from

Allah azza wa jal, that's what they will bear upon their backs,

meaning the burdens of their sins. Allah azione, how evil is that

which they bear? Those burdens that they bear, their evil sins,

how evil they are, and how that how harmful they will be to them.

A new multiyearma In verse number 32 Allah Azza then speaks about

the reality of the dunya. And he says, because these people reject

the akhira, for them, it's all about the dunya, all about its

comforts and joys and blessings. Allah azza wa jal says, wamal haya

to dunya. Illah Ibu, wala Hu wala

invest 32 the life of this world is nothing but a game and a

distraction. The home in the hereafter is best for those who

are aware of Allah. Why will you then not understand Allah? Subhana

says that this is the reality of the dunya, as opposed to the

reality of the akhira. The reality of the dunya is that it is all

game and destruction, all play and jest and destruction for your

bodies, for your hearts, for everything. It is a destruction

from Allah AJ and it is game and jest in terms of the people

following their desires and following everything that they

want. And that is why there are people who cheat in this game, who

do evil in this game, who oppressed in this game, who do

everything in this game, but it is temporary, and that is the reality

of the dunya. And so the one who has taqwa and Iman and believe in

Allah azza wa jal knows that it is something which is passing by,

temporary, something which is finite. And so therefore, why

would you spend all of your energy in something that is, by its very

nature, corrupt and problematic when there is another life that is

eternal and blessed and pure, and there is only truth and justice

and peace in it, and there is the life of the hereafter, so the

sensible one, the mature, intelligent one, is the one who

works For what is permanent, even if they have to sacrifice what is

temporary. And the one who doesn't have that level of intelligence or

maturity, the one who doesn't have Eman and belief in Allah azza wa

jal, will give preference to what is temporary, and they will

sacrifice what is permanent, even though, as humans, we know that

sometimes you have to work for your retirement, for your old age,

for something that may take 510, 15 years to build as a career or a

business. You work for that because you can see the end game.

But the problem is that shaitan distracts the people, the humans,

from the greater endgame, and that is the endgame of the akhira. And

so he then makes them only busy themselves in the dunya in display

and just and destruction from the akhira Allah AJ says in verse

number 33

Adana Alamo in holla can let the loan for IN HOME law you can be

buna Kawana, king of Ali Minami ayat in Lahiya jahadun. We know

while that they order what they say grieves your Prophet,

sallAllahu, alayhi wasallam.

It is not you that they disbelieve in rather, they reject Allah's

revelations. Allah subhanaw taala says that the Prophet salallahu

alayhi wa sallam would become harmed, and you would become

saddened, and he would be perturbed by the way that His

people will respond to him, what they would say, the ridicule, the

mocking, the jesting, the making fun of his religion, the calling

of names, these are things that would harm the Prophet sallallahu

alayhi wa sallam, the fact that they would turn away from the

worship of Allah azza wa jal. So Allah subhanho taala here gives

consoles His Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he says to

him that all of that which they do, O Muhammad, sallAllahu, alaihi

wasallam, it's not because of you that they do this. Because you as

an individual, as a person they used to love and respect before

Islam, they used to call you trustworthy. They used to call you

honest. They used to ask you to come and arbitrate in their

affairs. They used to attest to you good character and virtue.

They used to know you as a man of integrity and honesty. But as soon

as you bought the message of Allah, that's when they turned

against you. So it's not you that they have a problem with as an

individual, you're from their family. You're related to them.

You're from their tribe, your you have blood relations with them.

Wala kinna Valley, Mina bi ayati, lahij hadon. But what they truly

reject are the signs of Allah and the revelation of Allah, subhanho,

taala, and that is Allah, as it says in verse number 34

wala padu, kudzibah, rusulum in kabalikaru, other

messengers were disbelieved

in before you, and they bore their rejection and persecution

steadfastly until our aid arrived, no one can alter God's promises or

Allah's promises. And words you have already received accounts of

those messengers. Allah is originally saying to the Prophet

salallahu alayhi wa sallam, you are not the first of the prophets

and messengers, nor the first to be rejected and and and denied

from amongst them. And those prophets that came before you had

to be patient and steadfast from the harm that they received, the

rejection that they found they had to be patient and steadfast until

Allah Azza wa Jan, even though they were harmed and persecuted,

until Allah AJ came, until Allah's promise came, and Allah's promises

never change. What are the promises? What is the Promise of

Allah, that Allah would always help the believers, that Allah

would always help the people of iman, that Allah would always

grant them victory, either in this life or the next or in both. And

so the believer is always with the Promise of Allah Azzawajal, and

that is Allah subhanahu wa says, Read those Stories of the Prophets

we've given to you. Their stories. Go through the lives of them and

see how they were steadfast and patient. So likewise for us, we

should also read the stories of the prophets, and especially the

story of our own Prophet, salallahu Alam, and the story of

the companions about the Allahu Alain and that which they

suffered, and the patience that they showed and how Allah's

promise was made true to them.

In the final verse in today's episode, verse 35 Allah Azza then

says, we're in Canada. Lake Erdogan, famous to party.

Tabitarian, effort,

plan,

fill out the also lemma, also lemon FEMA, if it

was Allahu alaja, me ahora, fella, takun and namin al jahini, if you

find rejection by the disbelievers so hard to bear, then seek a

tunnel into the ground or a ladder into the sky, if you can, and

bring them a sign Allah could bring them to bring them all to

guidance, if he were his will. So do not be or do not join the

ignorant Allah. Subhanaw taala says that if this is something

which you cannot bear in terms of being patient upon their rejection

and their harm, then do what you can in terms of seeking to turn

into the earth or to go into the heavens and the sky, and to bring

to them a sign from the signs of Allah, Azza wa jal, by which they

would believe in Allah subhanho wa taala, meaning that Allah Aj is

saying to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, that you should

be a person of patience and steadfastness and not be so

preoccupied by their rejection, because your goal and your job and

your role is only to convey the message guidance is in the hands

of Allah subhanahu wa taala. And had Allah willed. He could have

guided them on, but they wanted to be misguided. They chose the path

of rejection and denial, and they turned away from Allah and His

messengers and his revelations. And so don't be from amongst the

people of ignorance. And So here Allah azza wa jal is giving this

consolation to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, that

the rejection of these people is in essence, the rejection of

Allah, Subhanahu wa not because of some individual like the prophets

and messengers that were sent to them. In fact, many, or if not all

of the prophets and messengers that were sent to their nations

were people who were respected or honored by their people before

they came with the message of Allah Azzawajal. But it is Allah

that they deny and they reject. And so when they do so, then

Allah.

Of Hanu Tarah would hold them to account and will punish them for

that on your will. PM, and with that, we come to the end of

today's episode, Barak Allahu, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sahabahin
