| This Surah (Revealed) Meccan, consisting of 26 verses.(Al-Ghâshiyah)
|
| بِسْم ِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ | |
|
Tafseer
Has there â [there has] indeed â come to you the tiding of the Enveloper?, the
Resurrection, [so called] because it âenvelopsâ creatures with its terrors.
|
|
Tafseer
Some faces on that day â they [faces] are used to represent the individuals in
both instances â will be humbled, abject,
|
|
Tafseer
toiling, weary, tired and exhausted from the chains and fetters,
|
|
Tafseer
roasting (read taslā or tuslā) in a scorching fire,
|
|
Tafseer
made to drink from a boiling spring, one of extremely hot temperatures.
|
|
Tafseer
They will have no food except cactus (darīâ) â a type of thorn plant which no
animal grazes on because of its vileness â
|
|
Tafseer
743 neither nourishing, nor availing against hunger.
|
|
Tafseer
Other faces on that day will be delicate, fair,
|
|
Tafseer
pleased by their efforts, in the [life of the] world [expended] in obedience,
[pleased] in the Hereafter upon seeing the reward thereof;
|
|
Tafseer
in a lofty Garden, [lofty] in a physical as well as an abstract sense,
|
|
Tafseer
in which they will not hear (read lā yusmaâu, âwill not be heardâ, or lā
tasmaâu, âthey will not hearâ) any vanity, any inane soul, speaking drivel;
|
|
Tafseer
therein is a running spring, of water, meaning âspringsâ;
|
|
Tafseer
therein are lofty couches, [lofty] in terms of their essence, their size and
[physical] location,
|
|
Tafseer
and goblets, vessels without handles, set, around the edges of the springs
prepared for them to drink with,
|
|
Tafseer
and cushions arrayed, one next to the other, against which they may lean,
|
|
Tafseer
and carpets, rugs of velvet-hair, spread out.
|
|
Tafseer
Will they, the Meccan disbelievers, not consider, by way of reflection, the
camels, how they are created?
|
|
Tafseer
And the heaven, how it was raised?
|
|
Tafseer
And the mountains, how they were set?
|
|
Tafseer
And the earth, how it was laid out flat?, and thus infer from this the power of
God, exalted be He, and His 744 Oneness? The commencing with the [mention of] camels is because they are closer
in contact with it [the earth] than any other [animal]. As for His words sutihat, âlaid out flatâ, this
on a literal reading suggests that the earth is flat, which is the opinion of most of the scholars of the
[revealed] Law, and not a sphere as astronomers (ahl al-hayâa) have it, even if this [latter] does not contradict
any of the pillars of the Law.
|
|
Tafseer
So remind, them of Godâs graces and the proofs affirming His Oneness. For you
are only an admonisher;
|
|
Tafseer
you are not a taskmaster over them (a variant reading [for musaytir] has
musaytir, that is to say, [not one who has been] given authority over them) â this was [revealed] before the
command to struggle [against the disbelievers].
|
|
Tafseer
But he who turns away, [he who] rejects faith, and disbelieves, in the Qurâān,
|
|
Tafseer
God will chastise him with the greater chastisement, the chastisement of the
Hereafter, the lesser chastisement being that of this world, that of being killed or taken captive.
|
|
Tafseer
Truly to Us will be their return, their coming back after death,
|
|
Tafseer
then truly with Us will lie their reckoning, their requital, which We will never
abandon.
