The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (1) Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf Surat Al Fatihah { بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ } [الفاتحة:1] 1- I begin with the name of Allah, Who is the god of all humankind and Who is characterized by Permanent Mercy. When someone begins with Basmalah "Saying: Bism Allah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim", he seeks Allah's Help and Success to complete what a person has started and to make his recitation acceptable by Allah. { الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ } [الفاتحة: 2] 2- Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all creation. He has all gratitude for the favors and blessings He bestowed upon His Creation whether in terms of their religion or of their worldly affairs. Thus, He showed them the truth and guided them to follow it. He provided them with sustenance and guided them to seek it. { الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ } [الفاتحة: 3] 3- Who is characterized by mercy, the Bestower of goodness and blessings. He shows mercy to all His Creation and shows compassion and mercy to Muslims in particular. { مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ } [الفاتحة: 4] 4- Who has the sole sovereignty on the Day of Recompense. So, there is no dominance for anyone on that Day but to Him. { إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ } [الفاتحة: 5] 5- We worship You alone, O Lord. We divorce ourselves of polytheism, seek Your Help in all our affairs, rely on You, renounce having any might or strength, and turn our faces to You in repentance. You have all obedience, O our Lord. { اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ } [الفاتحة: 6] 6- O our Lord, we ask You to guide us continuously to the straight path by following Your Religion, so make us firm on the Straight Path. { صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ } [الفاتحة: 7] 7- The path of those upon whom You have treated well and guided to obey and worship You. Those obedient ones such as your angels, Prophets and upon whomever You are pleased with of Your Servants, the people of guidance, integrity, obedience and compliance. We seek refuge in You against the path of those who deserve Your Anger among those people who knew the truth but did not follow it such as the Jews. Make us also avoid the path of those who went astray, did not know the truth and kept wandering in their aberration, and finally did not follow Your Prophet such as the Christians. It was reported in "Sahih Al Bukhari" and "Sahih Muslim" that the Messenger (peace be upon him) said: "When the Imam says: "Ghayr Al Maghduby `layhim Wala Al Dallin", say: Amen, for the one whose utterance comes in conformity with the saying of angels, his past sins shall be forgiven." Surat Al Fatihah is a great Surah because it is the Mother of the Book and the Seven Oft-Repeated Ayahs in Salah. It contains fine secrets, therefore a Muslim must recite it in his Salah otherwise Salah shall not be valid. It has so many virtues such as the Prophet's saying: "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, nothing was revealed in the Torah, Injeel (bible), the psalms or in the Qur'an of the like." [Reported by Ahmad with an authentic chain of narration]. The Surah includes: Praising Allah, guiding the creation to His Oneness, invoking Allah alone, directing the acts of worship to Allah alone and seeking His Guidance to be on the right track; which is Islam that leads to good end on the Day of Recompense. The Surah also contains warning against the paths of falsehood such as the paths of those who know the truth but refuse to follow it or those who have gone astray. |

The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (2) Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf Surat Al Baqarah (1-5) In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful { الم } [البقرة: 1] 1- These are the scattered letters with which Allah begins some Surah of the Qur'an. There is no authentic Hadiths reported to explain them. Moreover, the commentators did not agree about their meanings, therefore, I did not explain them in all positions because the knowledge of which is solely for Allah. { ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدَىً لِلْمُتَّقِينَ } [البقرة: 2] 2- There is no doubt that the Qur'an was revealed by Allah. It is a light and explanation for the pious who obey Allah, a warning against His Punishment and seeking for His Mercy along with belief in that was mentioned therein. { الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ } [البقرة: 3] 3- Those who believe in Allah, His Angels, His Scriptures, His Messengers, the Hereafter and in that was revealed in the Qur'an. Those who perform the obligatory Salahs in their proper times along with their pillars and conditions. Those who pay Zakah (obligatory charity) of their properties for the poor and the needy as was ordained by Allah. { وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَبِالآْخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ } [البقرة: 4] 4- Those who believe in what the Prophet has brought from Allah and in what had been revealed before you (Prophet Muhammad) to the Messengers without discrimination between them or denying what was revealed to them by their Lord. They believe in resurrection, reckoning and retribution and in paradise and Hell. { أُولَئِكَ عَلَى هُدَىً مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ } [البقرة: 5] 5- Those who believe in the Unseen, perform Salah, pay Zakah, believe in what was brought down to you or what had brought down to the Messengers before you and have faith in the Day of Recompense; those are the guided and enlightened people. They are the straight, the guided and the winners who have gained what they deserved by their belief and deeds. They won the reward and the eternal abode in Paradise and were saved from the punishment by the mercy of their Lord. |

Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf Surat Al Baqarah (6-10) ﴿ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنْذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴾ [البقرة: 6] 6- Those who disbelieve in that which has sent down to you are not believers as long as they insist on their position. They do not lend an ear to the warnings they hear from you. ﴿ خَتَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَى سَمْعِهِمْ وَعَلَى أَبْصَارِهِمْ غِشَاوَةٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴾ [البقرة: 7] 7- Allah has sealed their hearts, their hearing, and their eyes also were sealed as a result of their disbelief and their indifference. Consequently, theirs sins became ample until the centers of their understanding and sights were blocked, so there is no way for faith to enter or disbelief to get out. The retribution of their stubbornness and lack of response to the warner is a great torment. ﴿ وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الآْخِرِ وَمَا هُمْ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴾ [البقرة: 8] 8- There are some hypocrites who show faith and hide disbelief, and they do good publicly and conceal evil. They say: We believe in Allah and in the Day of Retribution but in fact, they are disbelievers. ﴿ يُخَادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلاَّ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴾ [البقرة: 9] 9– They believe, by their ignorance, that they are deceiving Allah, and that method will benefit them before Allah. They think they are able to deceive Allah by this trick as they usually do with Muslims but their deeds will only harm them because Allah will pour wrath on them without their knowledge, so they will walk blindly in their way. ﴿ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ ﴾ [البقرة: 10] 10 - In their hearts is a disease that causes them to depart from the truth and insist on following falsehood. Therefore, Allah has increased their illness by making them turn completely away from the Straight Way and the disease kept on going along with their stubbornness. They had doubts and Allah increased their doubts as He has increased the faith of the believers (And those who have believed, He increased their faith) [Muhammad: 17]. So, the hypocrites deserved such a harsh punishment because of their lies and their stance against the truth. Lie is a type of hypocrisy and it corrupts the heart fast. |

The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (4) Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf Surat Al Baqarah (11-14) { وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لاَ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الأرْضِ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ } [البقرة: 11] 11- If they are asked to stop disbelief and disobedience for that lead to corruption on earth, whereas obedience leads to reform, they would say in foolishness and bravado: We only want reform. However, there are numerous examples of those people who have missed the balance of right and wrong and whose creed is corrupt. { أَلاَ إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَكِنْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ } [البقرة: 12] 12- The truth is: What they adopt in terms of their creed and what they believe to be reformation is the mere corruption, but because of their ignorance, they do not feel it is corruption. { وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُوا كَمَا آمَنَ النَّاسُ قَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ كَمَا آمَنَ السُّفَهَاءُ أَلاَ إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ السُّفَهَاءُ وَلَكِنْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ } [البقرة: 13] 13- When it is said to the hypocrites: Believe in Islam as the people have believed without having any doubt and obey Allah and His Messenger as they did, they refused to submit to the truth and said in arrogance: Shall we believe as the fools have believed (i.e., the Companions) and be like them?! However, the truth is they are the ignorant, weak-minded, and they do not know their best interest. Because of their ignorance, they do not know that they are deep-rooted in mischief and ignorance which are worse than getting into foolishness and blindness! { وَإِذَا لَقُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قَالُوا آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوْا إِلَى شَيَاطِينِهِمْ قَالُوا إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِئُونَ } [البقرة: 14] 14- When the hypocrites met the believers, they showed faith and loyalty. They also would show them love and intimacy out of hypocrisy in order to protect themselves from their harm, begin in turn to attack and harm the believers, and to take a share from the booties. When they went to their chiefs and leaders from the Jews, the polytheists and the hypocrites, they would say to them: We are with you, but we just mock at the believers. |

The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (5) Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf Surat Al Baqarah (15-17) { اللَّهُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِمْ وَيَمُدُّهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ } [البقرة: 15] 15- As long as they have chosen the way of deception, conspiracy, sarcasm and mockery, Allah will fail their plots. Soon they will know that their mockeries and plots will turn against themselves. (Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allâh, but it is He Who deceives them.) [Surat An-Nisa': 42]. Allah will mock at them by taking revenge on them, causing them to lose balance and wander in a path which they do not know its end. Finally, they will find no way out because Allah has already sealed their hearts, made their sights blind as a result of their deeds and their bad attitudes. Cunning, plots, deception and mockery cannot be attributed to Allah (may He be Glorified and Exalted) according to all scholars. However, taking revenge and retribution for actions with justice, can be ascribed to Allah as Ibn Jarir At-Tabary said. { أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلاَلَةَ بِالْهُدَى فَمَا رَبِحَتْ تِجَارَتُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا مُهْتَدِينَ} [البقرة: 16] 16- The disbelievers replaced guidance with mischief and preferred disbelief to pure faith, which is a non-profitable business from all sides. So, their commerce was not successful and they were not guided in terms of what they have done. { مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي اُسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَلَمَّا أَضَاءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهُ ذَهَبَ اللَّهُ بِنُورِهِمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ لاَ يُبْصِرُونَ } [البقرة: 17] 17- The example of those who turned away from guidance to mischief and preferred blindness to insightfulness is like a man who kindled a fire in a very dark night. When the fire lighted the surroundings and the one who lit it benefited from and was able to see around, it suddenly has abated and that person became in darkness again and could not see around nor was he guided. Likewise are the hypocrites, who tasted the guidance of Islam and believed, then they turned backwards in a mess, preferring mischief to guidance after they have seen it. (That is because they believed, and then disbelieved; therefore their hearts are sealed, so they understand not.) [Surat Al Munafiqun: 3]. Their retribution was that Allah made them miss what is beneficial for them [i.e., the light] and left for them what may harm them [i.e., burning and smoke]. He has left them in the darkness of doubt, disbelief and hypocrisy and they were not guided. |

The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (6) Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf Surat Al Baqarah (18-20) { صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لاَ يَرْجِعُونَ } [البقرة: 18] 18- They had disabled the functions of their ears, tongues, and eyes, therefore, they do not hear good, do not speak of what may benefit them and do not see the truth. So, how would they be guided and how they will respond to guidance?! { أَوْ كَصَيِّبٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فِيهِ ظُلُمَاتٌ وَرَعْدٌ وَبَرْقٌ يَجْعَلُونَ أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ مِنَ الصَّوَاعِقِ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِ وَاللَّهُ مُحِيطٌ بِالْكَافِرِينَ } [البقرة: 19] 19- The example of those people in their suspicion, disbelief, and hesitation is like rain comes down from the sky in a very dark night that contains a fearful and strong thunder and a lightning that shines in brightness. They put their fingers in their ears lest something might harm them. This action does not protect them because Allah encompasses them with His Power and they are under His Will. The resemblance is: Darkness contains doubts, disbelief, and hypocrisy. Thunder makes the hearts fall from fears. So, the hypocrite are in severe fear. Lightening is the light of faith which shines in the hearts of the hypocrites in sometimes. { يَكَادُ الْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ كُلَّمَا أَضَاءَ لَهُمْ مَشَوْا فِيهِ وإِذَا أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوا وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وأَبْصَارِهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَدِيرٌ } [البقرة: 20] 20– Because of the intensity of this lightning, it is almost about to take away their sights, so when it flashes for them, they walk therein. However, when darkness covers them, they stand still in a maze. Lightning is metonymy for the intensity of the light of the truth, and if the hypocrites saw something of faith, they would follow it but sometimes doubts sneak into their hearts causing their hearts to lose foresight and become in a maze! If Allah wills, he will take away the hearing and sights of the hypocrites because they left the truth after they had known it. When Allah wants to inflict His Wrath on His Servants, He is able to enforce it. This is a warning for the hypocrites against the power of Allah and that He encompasses their affairs. |

Worship Him alone and do not associate partners with Him in worship, for He has created all creatures. It is He Who is worthy of worship, perhaps you may become from the guided obedient ones. { الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأرْضَ فِرَاشًا وَالسَّمَاءَ بِنَاءً وَأَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ رِزْقًا لَكُمْ فَلاَ تَجْعَلُوا لِلَّهِ أَنْدَادًا وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ } [البقرة: 22] 22– He is Allah who created the earth for you as a resting place that suits your living and made the sky as a ceiling for it. The sun sends its heat and light to benefit you. He sends rain from the clouds to water your plants and to bring forth sustenance for you and for your animals. So, do not associate partners with Allah in worship because He is the Only Creator and the Only Provider of sustenance. You know that there is no other god to provide sustenance but He, so He is the Only worthy of worship. { وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِمَّا نَزَّلْنَا عَلَى عَبْدِنَا فَأْتُوا بِسُورَةٍ مِنْ مِثْلِهِ وَادْعُوا شُهَدَاءَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ } [البقرة: 23] 23- If you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt about the prophethood of Muhammad, then bring a Surah of the like thereof and call whomever you want from your aid and helpers if you are truthful that the Qur'an was revealed by other than Allah. { فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا وَلَنْ تَفْعَلُوا فَاتَّقُوا النَّارَ الَّتِي وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْكَافِرِينَ } [البقرة: 24] 24- If you are not able to do that, and surely you will not be able, then know that the Qur'an is the true Word of Allah. Know that the denial of the truth will result in the torment of Hell which its fuel will be the bodies of the infidels, the oppressors, and the very huge solid rocks that are ready to burn those who have disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger. |

If they are given from the fruits of Paradise, they shall be cheered and will say: It looks like the fruit we used to eat in the world and they became happy with it. Human nature loves familiar things and averts from the unfamiliar. So, Allah brings forth for them fruit similar to that of the world in color and appearance, but they differ in taste and size. They will have, in Paradise, wives with bodies purified from dirt and filth. And to ensure their happiness in that bliss, they shall live in Paradise forever. { إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلاً مَا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا فَأَمَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَمَا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَذَا مَثَلاً يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَيَهْدِي بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلاَّ الْفَاسِقِينَ } [البقرة: 26] 26- Allah is not shy to set forth a parable of anything, no matter how small it is, such as a mosquito or something bigger because everything Allah has created has a wisdom behind its creation. Those who believe know that giving an example with a mosquito is true, so they have to believe in the wisdom of creation. As for the disbelievers, giving these examples increase their mischief. They will say: What is the worth of a mosquito and how much it weighs when it is compared to the world? Mosquitoes are incredible creatures; although they are so small, mosquitoes have two big eyes composed of thousands of compound lenses. Their legs have five main joints, with a pair of claws, strong muscles stick to their chest walls, and a pin for keeping balance in their wings. The wings move near to one thousand times per second. They have systems that prevent coagulation. Mosquitoes may absorb blood that equals one and a half of their weight! They have more than three thousand species, and transmit the worst diseases. They cause millions of people to die and they spread all over the world. |

They also denied the Messengers and the revealed Scriptures despite the fact that they know they were the truth from their lord. They are even not loyal to their closest people. You find them cut relations with their relatives and friends, corrupt on earth with sins and spread seditions, and arise doubts about the Qur'an. By this, they have lost and deserved the wrath of Allah and their bad deeds became a barrier between them and the Mercy of Allah. { كَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَكُنْتُمْ أَمْوَاتًا فَأَحْيَاكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ } [البقرة: 28] 28- How would you deny the existence of Allah while you were nothing and He created you, then He would put you to death and give you life on the Day of Resurrection? { هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مَا فِي الأرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَسَوَّاهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَلِيمٌ } [البقرة: 29] 29– He is the One true God, who created the earth and that therein for you, then rose over toward the sky and created it precisely in seven layers.

I shall subject to them all the energies and raw materials that I have created for them. The angels understood the human nature or it was done by the inspiration of Allah that some of those people will spread corruption on earth and use its powers in other than the right direction. So, they inquired about the wisdom behind that creation; not objecting to Allah's Command: (O Allah, Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood without right?) If the goal is that they worship You, here we are glorifying, praising, worshipping and praying for You? Thereupon, Allah said to them: I know the best interest for the earth in making them successors on earth. If there will be some corruptors, there also will be prophets and messengers, pious people, scholars, worshippers and martyrs who will be in the highest position in Paradise. { وَعَلَّمَ آدَمَ الأسْمَاءَ كُلَّهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَلاَئِكَةِ فَقَالَ أَنْبِئُونِي بِأَسْمَاءِ هَؤُلاَءِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ } [البقرة: 31] 31- He taught Adam the names of all things, then he presented them to the angels and said: If you are really more worthy than Adam and his offspring to be successors on earth, tell me the names of these things. If you do not know the names of these things which are before your eyes, you would rather be ignorant about the other things about which you do not know. The Angels do not need these things because these things do not fit their nature, but is solely for the children of Adam, therefore, succession was made for Adam on earth. { قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلاَّ مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ} [البقرة: 32] 32– Then those angels of Allah have surrendered to Him, glorified Him and said: Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. You know everything and You have all wisdom in Your Creation as well as Your Ordinances. You teach whomever You want and hold back whatever You want from whomever You want. |

When Adam did, he showed superiority in knowledge. Thereupon, Allah asked them [the angels]: Have not I told you that I know the knowledge of the Unseen, so nothing of their affairs, your affairs and all that in the universe are hidden from Me?! I know what you conceal in your hearts and what you show publicly. I know those who corrupt on earth and I knew that Satan would disobey My Orders and refuse to obey Me. { وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لآِدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ} [البقرة: 34] 34– Allah has honored Adam when He said to the angels: Prostrate yourselves to Adam, thereupon, they prostrated themselves to him out of obedience to their Lord. So, the prostration to Adam and the obedience of angels were favors from Allah to Adam. However, Satan, who was among them but originated from the Jinn, refused to prostrate to Adam out of haughty and arrogance and he was from the disobedient and straying ones. |

The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (12) Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf Surat Al Baqarah (35-36) { وَقُلْنَا يَاآدَمُ اسْكُنْ أَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَكُلاَ مِنْهَا رَغَدًا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلاَ تَقْرَبَا هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ } [البقرة: 35] 35- After this honor for Adam, Allah has permitted Paradise for Adam and Eve to live therein and eat from its fruit happily. Then He warned them saying: Do not approach this tree which I fixed for you but if you were to eat therefrom, you had disobeyed your Lord and oppressed yourselves and you have to bear the consequences. This was a test for them, a direction for their conducts, and teaching for them to keep promises, and that needs a powerful will. { فَأَزَلَّهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ وَقُلْنَا اهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ وَلَكُمْ فِي الأرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ } [البقرة: 36] 36– However, Satan seduced them and adorned for them eating from that specific tree, so they ate therefrom. As a result, they were expelled from the beautiful gardens, the plenty sustenance and the big abode. So, Allah told them after their disobedience: Get out of Paradise and there will be an enmity between you and Satan who seduced you and expelled you out of this everlasting bliss. You shall have on earth a dwelling place, sustenance, a desire and benefits for a fixed period. |

So, he sought forgiveness from his Lord for what he had done and his Lord accepted his repentance because He is Oft-Forgiving to His Believing Servants. {قُلْنَا اهْبِطُوا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًا فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ مِنِّي هُدَىً فَمَنْ تَبِعَ هُدَايَ فَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ } [البقرة: 38] 38- Another warning was given to Adam and his offspring in order not to fall into the same sin again: Get down to the earth. When I send you prophets, messengers, and Scriptures so that you may be guided, hold them firmly and you shall not go astray. You shall not be miserable in the Hereafter, you shall not be sorry for what you have missed, and you shall not fear what will happen on the Day of Recompense. { وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ } [البقرة: 39] 39 – As for those who disbelieved and denied Our Prophets and Scriptures, they are the dwellers of Hell in which they will abide forever. |

I sent down the Scriptures to you, and saved you from the servitude of the Pharaoh and his family. Keep to the covenant which I asked you to keep: To follow the religion of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), when he is sent. If you keep to the covenant in your custody, I will be pleased with you and admit you to Paradise. If you do not do this, then remember the punishment that I have sent down to your ancestors such as deformation. I am able to inflict you with the same punishment I had inflicted upon them. { وَآمِنُوا بِمَا أَنْزَلْتُ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا مَعَكُمْ وَلاَ تَكُونُوا أَوَّلَ كَافِرٍ بِهِ وَلاَ تَشْتَرُوا بِآيَاتِي ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً وَإِيَّايَ فَاتَّقُونِ } [البقرة: 41] 41- Believe in the Qur'an that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that confirms the previous Scriptures that were revealed before you, [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)]. Do not be, O Jews of Medina, the first among the Children of Israel who deny the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him). Do not ******* faith with worldly desires because it is better (for you) to believe in Muhammad. You should obey Me for the sake of My Mercy and in order to rescue you from the torment. { وَلاَ تَلْبِسُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ } [البقرة: 42] 42- Do not mix the truth with falsehood and do not conceal the truth while you know for sure it is the truth. You already have the news of that Prophet written down in your Scriptures. So, why do not you declare faith in him? — instead you denied him and said that he was not a prophet? |

Are not you aware of the danger you are heading to? Would you then be reasonable enough to do good as you command people to do it? { وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلاَةِ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلاَّ عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ } [البقرة: 45] 45– O believers, seek help by observing patience to Allah's Ordinances and performing Salah to obtain the good of this world and the Hereafter. Patience is very important in all matters and Salah helps people to be firm in all matters. It is really heavy except for the humble people who are obedient to their Lord. |

This faith pushes them forward to obey Him and avoid His disobedience. {يَابَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَنِّي فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ } [البقرة: 47] 47- O Children of Israel, remember My Favors upon your parents and ancestors, and that I preferred you to mankind by sending you the Messengers, the Scriptures and made you masters and kings. { وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا لاَ تَجْزِي نَفْسٌ عَنْ نَفْسٍ شَيْئًا وَلاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا شَفَاعَةٌ وَلاَ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ وَلاَ هُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ } [البقرة: 48] 48– Fear the Day of the Retribution when no one shall avail another; on a day when nothing shall be accepted from the disbelievers to forgive their disbelief and sins. No one will neither defend the disbelievers nor help them to be rescued from the torment; for every soul is responsible for itself. |

They were killing your sons and keeping your daughters for fear of losing the Pharaoh's kingdom at the hand of one of you. Saving you from such punishment is a great bless from your Lord, so do not forget it. { وَإِذْ فَرَقْنَا بِكُمُ الْبَحْرَ فَأَنْجَيْنَاكُمْ وَأَغْرَقْنَا آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ } [البقرة: 50] 50– Remember when you came out with Moses when the Pharaoh called upon his army to follow and eliminate you.

Moses stayed there for forty days and the Torah was sent down to him. Then you took the calf as a god and worshipped it by the command of Al Samiry [one of the Samaritan]. That deed was terrible and contained great aggression against yourselves as you had chosen the calf as a worshipped god other than Allah. { ثُمَّ عَفَوْنَا عَنْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ } [البقرة: 52] 52- However, Allah has pardoned you so that you may thank Him and recognize His Favors upon you. { وَإِذْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَالْفُرْقَانَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ } [البقرة: 53] 53– And remember, of Our Favors upon you that we sent down the Torah to Moses as a revealed book and a proof to separate between the truth and falsehood so that you may be guided by reflecting on it and acting according to its instructions. |

There is nothing to make you repent but to kill one another. So, the innocent may kill the criminal for it was the most suitable punishment for your bad souls, your cruel hearts, and your perverted natures. Perhaps, that would be repentance for your awful sin and a painful reminder so that you may not commit it again. Then Allah's Mercy encompassed you and He forgave you because He accepts the sincere repentance from His Servants out of His mercy. { وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَا مُوسَى لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى نَرَى اللَّهَ جَهْرَةً فَأَخَذَتْكُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَأَنتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ } [البقرة: 55] 55- Then you said to your Prophet Moses: We refuse to believe until we see Allah with our naked eyes. That was something impossible to achieve for you or for anyone of the like. Therefore, a powerful shriek came down upon them from the sky because of their terrible stubbornness and because they asked for the impossible, causing you to die while looking at one another. |

He also sent to you delicious food that you did not find any hardship to collect; the Mann which you find on the trees like honey and the quails. So, eat from that delicious food which We gave you. However, you oppressed yourselves and denied, therefore, the result was terrible against yourselves. { وَإِذْ قُلْنَا ادْخُلُواْ هَـذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ فَكُلُواْ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ رَغَداً وَادْخُلُواْ الْبَابَ سُجَّداً وَقُولُواْ حِطَّةٌ نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ وَسَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ } [البقرة: 58] 58- When you were asked to enter Jerusalem and fight the disbelieving giants, you were coward to fight, therefore, Allah caused you to wander on earth until a new generation of you comes up. That generation is the one which Yusha` ibn Nun (Joshua) led to conquer Jerusalem in order to live therein in peace. He asked you to say humbly: "Hittah" which means: Erase our past sins and forgive us.

So, instead of entering prostrating and seeking forgiveness, they entered in a different form and said something other than what they were told to say out of disagreement and haughtiness.

You asked Moses to supplicate Allah so that He may bring forth for you legumes such as cucumber, garlic, lentils and onion. Your Prophet condemned that and said to you: Would you like to have the less valuable food and prefer it to the good which is delicious and useful?! That which you asked was not dear, but it was rather cheap and easy, and you could find it everywhere. Therefore, they were covered with humiliation and misery. They have been humiliated by people wherever they were, and deserved the wrath of Allah for the major sins they had committed [like disbelieving in Allah and His Clear Proofs] because of their arrogance to follow the truth, humiliation, and trying to kill the best people, i.e., the Prophets of Allah. Such punishment was the retribution of Allah to those who disobeyed Him and oppressed Allah's Creation. |

Remember the articles that have been mentioned in those covenants or in the Torah that was revealed to you so that you should not neglect it and to make it the constitution of your manners and ethics, or perhaps you may change your situation and rescue yourselves of the punishment. When they saw the mountain above their heads, they knew that it was a miracle that amazed the minds and caused the deniers and those who have doubts to believe.

Despite this revocation and treason, Allah bestowed mercy upon you again and was generous to send you the Prophets and Messengers to remind you of faith and obedience.

Allah fixed Saturday for them and put them into trial by giving them plenty of whales on that day, but they could not resist their ambitions and desires and feared to break the promises which they have given to Allah.

However, if they had slaughtered any cow, it would have been sufficient, but they made it hard for themselves and said: What is it and what are its descriptions?

They said: Now, you have explained to us. So, they slaughtered the cow and almost they did after that explanation! |

That was an example to the power of Allah to revive the dead and turn the bones to dust even if you do not understand the wisdom behind it. It was a practical lesson that you had seen in order to think and believe in Allah's Ability. |

Some of these stones can let water gush forth like fountains, others can let them flow like running water and others may fall from the peak of mountains out of Allah's Fear such as that mountain did when Allah looked at it and Moses fell fainted. Your hearts do not submit or show lenience due to the fear of Allah. Allah is not unmindful of your actions and the solidness of your hearts which are expected to deem bad intentions, but surely, you shall have a Day of Reckoning. { أَفَتَطْمَعُونَ أَن يُؤْمِنُواْ لَكُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلاَمَ اللّهِ ثُمَّ يُحَرِّفُونَهُ مِن بَعْدِ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ } [البقرة: 75] 75- After you had seen the nature of the Jews, the harshness of their hearts and their denial of Allah's Signs or Ayahs, do you hope, O believers, that they will obey as you did! A sect of their scholars and rabbis listened to the Torah and knew its meanings then they interpreted the meanings different from their correct meanings, however, they knew that they were sinful by doing that |

However, when they were alone they said to one another: How do we believe that the message of Muhammad was mentioned in the Torah?! It would be a proof that the believers may use against you before your Lord, be sensible, conceal the matter, and shut up your mouths. { أَوَلاَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ اللّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ } [البقرة: 77] 77- Do not the Jews know that Allah knows their secrets, what they conceal, and what they show publicly? He knows that they conceal their denial of Muhammad (peace be upon him) (whom they can find written with them in the Torah) [Al A`raf: 157]. |

Therefore, they speak of what they want to be such as being the beloved sons of Allah, or they will enter Paradise and if they were to enter Hell, they would have stayed there for a short while, among other wishes. { فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَكْتُبُونَ الْكِتَابَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَـذَا مِنْ عِندِ اللّهِ لِيَشْتَرُواْ بِهِ ثَمَناً قَلِيلاً فَوَيْلٌ لَّهُم مِّمَّا كَتَبَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَوَيْلٌ لَّهُمْ مِّمَّا يَكْسِبُونَ } [البقرة: 79] 79- Another team of you called to misguidance. They have falsified what was written in the Torah by writing with their own hands which was not part of it and they said: It was revealed by Allah. They did so for a vile purpose and temporal greed in order to take some money. Destruction and torment are the punishment for those forgers who write with their own hands lies and falsehoods. Woe to them for their ill-gotten properties. |

O Prophet, tell them: Have you taken a promise from Allah for that? If that was the case, Allah Almighty would not break His Promise, but when was that and how? That never happened, but they attribute lies against Allah. { بَلَى مَن كَسَبَ سَيِّئَةً وَأَحَاطَتْ بِهِ خَطِيـئَتُهُ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ } [البقرة: 81] 81- The matter was not as you thought or wished.

The covenant stated: Worship Allah and do not associate partners with Him. Allah commanded all His Servants to abide by this covenant which was His Due Right upon them. People should treat their parents kindly and obey them in good actions; this is their due rights. People have to be kind to their relatives, the orphans, and the needy who cannot find anything to support their families and themselves. You should say good words and nice speech in a good method, specially, when enjoining good and forbidding evil. You have to establish Salah for your Lord and give Zakah to its entitled people, but you have turned away from all these commands and denied them except for a few. |

The people of the same religion are like one soul. You have admitted the authenticity of this covenant and bore witness to it. { ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ هَـؤُلاء تَقْتُلُونَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَتُخْرِجُونَ فَرِيقاً مِّنكُم مِّن دِيَارِهِمْ تَظَاهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِم بِالإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَإِن يَأتُوكُمْ أُسَارَى تُفَادُوهُمْ وَهُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ إِخْرَاجُهُمْ أَفَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِبَعْضِ الْكِتَابِ وَتَكْفُرُونَ بِبَعْضٍ فَمَا جَزَاء مَن يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ مِنكُمْ إِلاَّ خِزْيٌ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَى أَشَدِّ الْعَذَابِ وَمَا اللّهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ } [البقرة: 85] 85- You revoked this covenant as you revoked others, but you killed one another; a group of you with the Aws and another group with the Khazraj. You also drove a group of you out of their homes then you usurped their monies, furniture, and their slaves. You also helped the enemies against one another and when the war was over, you freed the captives for money and did not kill them as the Torah stated. Why do you apply Torah here and contradict its rulings in other positions and you kill one another in wars that are forbidden for you? Do you believe in some of the Torah's rulings and disbelieve in others? The retribution of such people was shame and disgrace in this world; through killing, enslavement, displacement and expulsion because of your disagreement with the Shari`ah. As for the Day of Recompense, your retribution shall be severe torment because you have hidden the rulings mentioned in the Torah and because of your disobedience. Verily, Allah is mindful of this but He counts it to punish you for it on the Day of Recompense. |

You disobeyed its instructions and interpreted it different from their real meanings. Then, we sent other messengers who used to judge according to the Torah until Jesus, the last Prophet of the Children of Israel came and we supported him with great miracles such as: Revealing the unseen, curing the sick, and giving life to the dead by the permission of Allah. We also supported him with Gabriel and confirmed everything he came with. We have revealed the Bible which contained some rulings contradictory to the rulings of the Torah. However, nothing of that matched your moody whims despite the miracles that he has given you, instead you disobeyed and became haughty to believe, and dedicated yourself to arguing with him. Will the matter remain as is whenever there came to you a messenger, you grew arrogant to accept the truth; a group of you deny the Messengers and another kill them? |

However, their hearts were cursed and cast away from Allah's Mercy and Guidance, so their hearts were sealed with disbelief because of their denial to accept the truth. Thus, their faith was little and only a few of them believed. { وَلَمَّا جَاءهُمْ كِتَابٌ مِّنْ عِندِ اللّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ وَكَانُواْ مِن قَبْلُ يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَلَمَّا جَاءهُم مَّا عَرَفُواْ كَفَرُواْ بِهِ فَلَعْنَةُ اللَّه عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ } [البقرة: 89] 89- When the Qur'an, which was revealed to Muhammad, came to the Jews confirming that has been revealed in the Torah which was revealed before his mission and they used to seek his help against their enemies, they said that a Prophet will be sent whom we will follow and whose time has come. Yet, we shall kill you with him as we killed `Ad and Iram. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was sent from the Quraysh and they knew him by his attributes, they disbelieved and denied what they used to say because he was not one of them. So, the curse of Allah was sent upon them because of their disbelief, thus was the wrath and torment of Allah were sent against those who denied Muhammad (peace be upon him). |

They denied the revelation with which Muhammad came, out of envy, hatred, and arrogance because he was not one of them. (Allâh knows best with whom to place His Message.) [Surat Al Baqarah: 124]. Therefore, Allah has chosen of His Servants who could hold the burdens of the message; and they did not appoint a messenger themselves. Because of their envy and hatred, they deserved a double wrath when they distorted the Torah in their custody then they disbelieved in Muhammad (peace be upon him). They have lost their trade when they did not respond to the call of Islam as they will regret on the Hereafter because of the punishment that awaits them due to their disbelief. There will be a very humiliated torment for them. { وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُواْ بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ قَالُواْ نُؤْمِنُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَكْفُرونَ بِمَا وَرَاءهُ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقاً لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنبِيَاءَ اللّهِ مِن قَبْلُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ } [البقرة: 91] 91- When it was said to the Jews or the People of the Scriptures: Believe in that which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came with and follow him, they said: The Torah and the Bible which were sent down for us are sufficient because they contain all the truth. We shall not accept anything but them. Therefore, they denied the Qur'an while they know that it was truly confirming that was revealed in the Torah and the Bible while they were deniers and stubborn. O Messenger, say to them: If you truly claim that you had faith in what was revealed to you, why did you kill the Prophets who brought you the truth which confirmed the Torah and you knew their truthfulness? It was just because of whims, oppression, and arrogance which are not from the qualities of the believers. |

Yet you worshipped the calf instead of Allah, whereas Moses was speaking to his Lord on the mountain of Tur. By doing that, you were oppressors and disobedient; not believers as you claimed. { وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَ خُذُواْ مَا آتَيْنَاكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاسْمَعُواْ قَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَأُشْرِبُواْ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْعِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِهِ إِيمَانُكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِينَ } [البقرة: 93] 93- From the examples of your turning away from the truth and disagreement about the covenant is: When We raised the mountain above your heads and We took the covenant from you to believe and obey firmly with determination, you agreed to that but after a while you disobeyed and reverted to your disobedience, stubbornness and followed your whims. Their hearts absorbed (the worship of) the calf because their disbelief as if it was their favorite stance after every situation. How bad was their faith that instructed them to deny the signs of Allah and disobey their Prophets then disbelieving in Muhammad (peace be upon him), the seal of all Prophets, who was sent to all mankind. Then, how could you claim faith while you reproached all covenants, denied all the signs of Allah, and worshipped the calf! |

So, they did not respond to Al Mubahalah because they knew that if they asked for death, they feared that Allah would respond to them as they knew what they have done.
