Al-Kahf : 4
وَيُنذِرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا
And to warn those who say, "Allah has taken a son."
Al-Kahf : 5
مَّا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَا لِءَابَآئِهِمْ ۚ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوٰهِهِمْ ۚ إِن يَقُولُونَ إِلَّا كَذِبًا
They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie.
This Quran and the messenger warn those people who claim that Allah swt has a child. They do not have knowledge of this, neither them nor their forefathers. What kind atrocity coming from their mouth/ What an evil lie comes from their mouth. They are saying nothing but lie.
-In this two verses, Allah swt mentions one of the main purpos of Quran, which is to negect false accusations about Allah & to affirm on what we believe about Allah.
-We have no knowledge on who is Allah except through Quran.
-Allah swt criticises anybody who claims that Allah swt has a child.
This verse came down in Mecca. And, in Mecca , there weren't any Christians or Jews. Therefore, the addressee were the Quraish & Quraish used to claim that Allah has daughters.
*And, walad does not specifically means son. It means his child(which can be a daughter or son)*
Hence, Allah swt explains that he has revealed the Quran to warn to not to say this & anyone who says Allah has a child/children, this is not true.
Allah swt asks -How do you know this? If, you know this, where did you get it from?
-And, their excuse were, our forefathers,culture, tradition said this.
-Hence, Allah says neither you nor your forefathers, do not know anything.
Lesson for us:
-This shows that , one of the greatest calamities, sins in Islam, it is to speak about Allah without knowledge. And, speak about Islam without knowledge. Allah challenges those who tell lies about Islam, where did you get this? -
-And, explains that neither him nor their fathers have no knowledge about this.
-Quran tells us that they are telling lies about Allah& Islam because it is one of the plots of Shaytan,
1) Shaytan commands you to associate partner with Allah
2) You speak about Allah without knowledge.
-This is one of the biggest problem. You cannot deviate from the truth except if you think about falsehood/lie about Allah/Islam/True Tawheed/True Risala.
Where do these lies come from?
-Shaytan tells Allah that he will command them to do this& lie to them about this. And, anybody speaks without knowledge about Allah, messenger,Quran,Islam- this person is getting information from Shaytaan.
This is what Quran tells us...
Part-3.2-Speaking-false-about-Allah---Dr-Yasir-Qadhi--11th-July-2013
Al-Kahf : 5
مَّا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَا لِءَابَآئِهِمْ ۚ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوٰهِهِمْ ۚ إِن يَقُولُونَ إِلَّا كَذِبًا
They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie.
Alllah swt negect any falsehood. Allah is saying that they are saying nothing but lies.
No person in this world like to hear slander about himself/herself. It is ingrained in us , we despise falsehood,lies. When, we are being slandered, we want to defend ourselves. And, this quality comes from Allah swt, he is the one who put it for us.
Prophet Muhammad SAW clarifies this"
"There is no being more patient,forbearing than Allah. They slander & accused him having children, and he still provide for them."
If, your enemy lied about you, could you be generous with that enemy?
If , your enemy accused of crime of falsehood, could you be generous with that enemy?
You will not be able to do it. Yet, our Prophet Muhammad SAW said there is no being who is more patient, forbearing than Allah. People accused , rejected,attributed children to him, while he continues to give rizq, sustenance.
And, look at what Allah says,
"What a lie that comes from their mouth?"
It is because saying that Allah has a child, it cannot come from intellect, knowledge,book. They literally invented from their mouth. It is just a word and does not have basis,intellect, scripture.
And, to affirm how evil it is,
"They are saying that is not true & it is a lie"
◇Lying about Allah swt is the greatest crime.
◇And, Quran talk about this in Surah Maryam:
-when the creation around us , the heavens , earth & mountains hear certain beings attributes that Allah has a child, the mountains want to crumble.
And, they say "How dare , that they have claimed Ar-Rahman has a child. And, it is not befitting,appropriate for Ar-Rahman to beget a child.."
So, Allah says one of the purpose of the Quran is to correct the misinformation about him(swt).
Part 3.3 -.Speaking-false-about-Allah---Dr-Yasir-Qadhi--11th-July-2013
In verse 6 & 7,
Al-Kahf : 6
فَلَعَلَّكَ بٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلٰىٓ ءَاثٰرِهِمْ إِن لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا
Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.
فَلَعَلَّكَ :
FalaAlluka -For surely
َ بٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَك:
Baghi'un Nafsaka- kill yourself
َ بٰخِعٌ
Baghi'un
-It literally means die from depression.
- Allah says to Messenger of Allah SAW that if you continue to be in a state of grief, you will kill yourself due to that.
Where is that grief /sadness coming from?
َ عَلٰىٓ ءَاثٰرِهِمْ إِن لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا:
A'la atharihim, in lam , yu'minouna bihadhal hadiyithi asafa:
-due to their footsteps
-if they do not believe in this message.
This ayats teaches us some lessons:
1) Sheer eloquence of the ayat
-They are turning away, walking away.
-And, our Prophet Muhammad SAW is going after them (following their footsteps) due to that he is feeling depressed.
Why does he feeling depressed? Is it because they have rejected him?
-No, it is because they have rejected Allah.
-It also shows the sincerity of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
-Most of us, when we preach, we preach to our own ego &self.
When we are in an argument, we want to win, & not the truth to win.
-While, our Prophet Muhammad SAW wanted the truth to win.
And, Allah swt clarifies this by saying
ْ
ْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا:
"Yu minouna bidhal hadiyithi asafa"
-You are feeling sad because they have rejected Quran, Allah( and not because they have rejected you. )
You can also notice that Allah mentions about Prophet Muhammad SAW before mentioning about rejectors.
-Allah swt talks about Quran & the role of Quran.
-Hence, from here in response, Allah did not say, they have rejected the Quran .
-Rather, he addreses Prophet Muhammad SAW in singular & says
"calm your grief down, yourself. Don't take it to this level. If, you continue to do this, you will cause destruction & harm to yourself if they don't believe"
Our lord did not blame the Quraish for rejecting Prophet Muhammad SAW. Instead, he addresses, Prophet Muhammad SAW for the grief that having been rejected.
So, who does Allah cares, the rejectors or Prophet Muhammad SAW ?
- Our lord does not even addresses kafir here. Our lord is concerned about the grief that our Prophet Muhammad SAW is felt when the Quraish rejected him.
-And, our lord, consoles our Prophet Muhammad SAW.
-And, this happens multiple times( at least half of dozen times) that Allah swt calms Prophet Muhammad SAW.
-This shows the maqamah of Prophet Muhammad SAW, status of our nabi. And, that even Allah swt is consoling him.
Furthermore , it shows....
Part 3.4 |Tafseer-Surah-Al-Kahf--Speaking-false-about-Allah---Dr-Yasir-Qadhi--11th-July-2013
Al-Kahf : 6
فَلَعَلَّكَ بٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلٰىٓ ءَاثٰرِهِمْ إِن لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا
Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.
It shows the status of Prophet Muhammad SAW as Allah swt is consoling him .
And, it shows that Allah swt cares infinitely more about the one who is in his path rather than the one who rejects his path. And, Allah swt only shows concern about the one who is in his path.
It shows that our lord consoles Prophet Muhammad SAW, and from here we can derive a simple sunnah. When, we see someone in a deprive situation, we should give consolation/word of comfort. We should give word of comfort when somoeone is in museebat/calamity/loves one died/financial crisis , anything that happened that will make heart grieve.
What can be done?
Allah consoles Prophet Muhammad SAW. What about us? We need that consolation more.
That is why our Prophet Muhammad SAW made it a sunnah when he finds someone is in distress, he will give words of comfort.
When Jaffir, his cousin died, Prophet Muhammad SAW visited his house, physically placed his hand on the children of Jaffir, and made dua for them. He praised the women/wives of Jaffir. All these are words of consolation.
Allah swt consoled Prophet Muhammad SAW. Prophet Muhammad SAW consoled the Sahabas. And, if we find anybody in distress, legitimate stress, we should give them words of wisdom.
We can notice from here that concern of Prophet Muhammad SAW is so much that Allah swt used a very harsh word.
َ بٰخِع:ٌ
-Baghi'e:
Abbas ra says Baghie literally means , "you will kill yourself due to the grief "/ "the grief will consume you".Prophet Muhammad SAW loved his people so much.
And, anybody who is calling people to Islam, you should have the genuine love for the people, you will want the people to love Allah & his religion like you. It is not for your ego, but for the sake of Allah swt.
No doubt, this love can go extreme from you living normally. Hence, in the beginning of Dawah, Allah swt teaches Prophet Muhammad SAW to check that grief that much.
َ عَلٰىٓ ءَاثٰرِهِمْ
Ala atharihim:
-Going in their footsteps if they do not believe in this book.
Part 3.5- Tafseer-Surah-Al-Kahf-Part-3-Speaking-false-about-Allah---Dr-Yasir-Qadhi
And, then Allah says,in two more verses
Al-Kahf : 7
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا
Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.
ِ زِينَةً لَّهَا :
:Ziyanatallah
-Everything on top of earth is made beautiful.
What is that?
☆Men & Women
★Palaces
☆Tress, Oceans
★Everything, we see on Earth , it is the beautification .
☆It is not for Allah . It is for us.
★Allah does not need this world. This is not a permanent place.
Allah says everything on top of the Earth is the beautification. Why?
لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ :
:Linabuluhum
-We are going to test them
ْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا:
:Ayuhun ahsanu amala
☆On who does the best deeds.
★Not the one who does MOST deeds but rather BEST deeds.
☆Allah swt is not looking for quantity but rather looking for quality.
Everything on the earth is a test for them. Their money, children, women, possession & all of that they have owned on this Earth.Allah says it is a test for them to see who can do the best. (Take note: it is not the most but the best)
This shows the quality is important. For example: A person can be giving million of dollars, and then another person gives 10 dollars. And, it is possible that, a person who gives million of dollars is nothing to Allah while another person who gives only 10 dollars, is worth millions of millions to Allah.
☆All goes back to the intention.
Or, a person who prays only 2 rakaah, it can be more precious than everything on those on Earth compared to someone who prayed 200 rakaah, which will be thrown back to him as his intention might not be right.
ْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا
Ayhuhum Ahsana Amala -
What is the reason that this verses comes after the previous verse?
It is natural for someone to feel that on why Quraysh reject Allah who are in the pinnacle of civilisation.
Why do they have control? And, why we do not have this?
-In earlier period of Mecca, the Quraysh had the power, Izzah but Muslims were the ones who were persecuted.
So, what does Allah says?
-All of these that they have , it is a test for them.
-And, do not put hard on this.
-Because, next verse clarifies....
Part-3.6-Speaking-false-about-Allah---Dr-Yasir-Qadhi--11th-July-2013
Continuation from last week....
Because, next verse clarifies (the reason for believers to go through hardships & for non-believers to be in power)
Al-Kahf : 8
وَإِنَّا لَجٰعِلُونَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيدًا جُرُزًا
And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.
-Allah says we have made the world as zina and we will make this world as:
صَعِيدًا
1) Sa'iyda:
-Flat land
جُرُزًا
2) Jurouza:
-Infertile without any greenery.
So, Allah is saying all of this beauty that we see ,it is temporary. And, a time will come which is Yawmul Qiyamah where this world will be substituted with an another world.
Hence, Allah is saying do not be deceived by this greenery, by the power that they all have . As, there will come time where it will be
صَعِيدًاSa'iyda -flat land
صَعِيدًا
More explanation of Sa'iyda by Quran:
-The mountains will crumble.
-And, everything that human beings enjoyed will be destroyed.
So, Allah is saying "just wait, and all of this world will be flat & infertile(juruz) جُرُزًا
Conclusion:
Allah is saying to us through Prophet Muhammad SAW that not to be deceived by illusion as this world is beautiful only here. However, the real beauty , will be in next world.
