 Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, As-salatu wa s-salamu ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ala alihi al-wasaabihi wa-sallim Ya Rabbana ala kalhamdu kama'in baghi li-jalaa adi wa jilka wa adi, the Sultanic, Bismillah This is a continuation of our series of Tafsir 30 Today, insha'Allah, we will be talking about Surat al-Infitar and Surat al-Mutafifin So we've seen so far that Jesus 30 is talking about the hereafter, the day after, the day of judgment It's increasing the iman and the faith of the people of the new Muslim people who became Muslims in Mecca So this jizat is almost all Mecca Surahs So the Surahs in jizat 30 were almost all revealed in Mecca before the migration of Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to Medina So we started today with Surat al-Infitar, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim This Surah and Surat al-Takweer resemble each other, the Surah before that we talked about last week They resemble each other in their subject matter So they both talk about the hereafter and the signs, the images that we will be seeing in the day after So Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, we mentioned that he said Whoever wants to have a clear vision of the day of Dayum al-Qiyamah Let him read Surat al-Takweer, Surat al-Inshaqa and Surat al-Infitar So now we're starting with the images that come at the beginning of this Surah And we will know why Allah SWT has done this Why did he bring the images at the beginning? What's the relation between these images and what will come after? And when the stars are scattered, they fall, when they leave their orbits What will happen? Imagine a star now falling from its orbit What will happen? Disasters And the oceans are torn apart So the seas are corrupted And when the seas are all connected into one sea, this is what will happen So they are connected because there are no more mountains, no nothing to separate them from each other Now we have water is formed of hydrogen and oxygen In the day after, when it will be a Umul Qiyamah, there won't be any hydrogen and oxygen combined together They will separate, one is flammable, one will help to flame, so there will be a huge fire And when the graves are laid open, when they are turned upside down And this implies there is resurrection of the dead So those who are in the graves will come out And what will happen to them? Each and every soul will know what they have sent forward and what they left behind Everything will be presented before a person, so he will know that this is reality All the deeds will be presented, nothing will be hidden They will know exactly what they did, whether it was good or evil So now Allah SWT has given us in these five ayahs the certain images of what's going to happen What's the question that comes after it? What has deceived you and turned you away from Allah SWT the bountiful, the most generous? What made you careless about your Lord? This is actually a threat, it's a warning, it's not a question, it's not an attempt to get a reply So why did you disobey Allah SWT? And the first thing at that moment that would come to man, it will be shaitan And this would relate us to the point that when Allah SWT outcasted shaitan from the heavens He swore that he will do his whispering, he will keep whispering to the people of Adam, to the sons of Adam, to people, to man So that he would go astray And he said, I will make them go astray, I will make them follow their desires So why, why you man did not follow? What happened to you? You did not follow the orders of Allah, Allah who created you, he fashioned you perfectly And gave you due proportion He made you complete, he didn't make you walk on floor or crawl Which is of the generosity of Allah SWT He made you complete, he made you straight, he perfectly balanced and proportioned in stature Everything in you is well created He fashioned you in the best form and shape that's suitable for you In whatever form he willed, he put you together So how do you look like? Do you look like your father, mother, paternal uncle, paternal aunt? He formed you in the way he wanted The best way for you No, this no is an emphasis that you shouldn't have done that You shouldn't have been deceived What make you disobey Allah is that you reject or you deny the day after, the day of judgment You deny the recompense and the reckoning So it's rejecting and not preparing someone and not preparing to meet Allah SWT So Allah SWT says And indeed, watchers have been appointed over you So nothing is hidden from those watchers, from those angels They are honestly recording your deeds Allah SWT and they know exactly whatever you do Whether in private or in public, they know everything Allah SWT says in one of the Hadith Al-Qudshi Allah will say atum mabiyyina zalik So Allah SWT had something that's called good deeds Something that's called bad deeds And he explained that He sent messengers to explain what's good, what's bad And to encourage good and to warn from bad So Whoever intends to do something good but he couldn't Then Allah SWT would register it as a complete good deed And if he had the intention to do something good and he did it Then Allah SWT would write it as 10 good deeds Or that would be multiplied to 700 deeds or too much more So this is the good deed But if he intended to do something bad, something evil But did not do it Look at the generosity of Allah Allah will get it down to him as a full good deed And if he intended to do something bad and he did it Then it will be written to him as one bad deed Look at the generosity of Allah SWT So he would reward the good deeds with multiplied rewards And he would write the bad deed as just one bad deed And Allah SWT mentioned that in several ayahs That If you do anything bad, anything as a spec size If it's good, you will be rewarded if it's bad It will be written to you There are noble guardians, angels over you who are writing everything If you find something good, then you should thank Allah SWT And if you find other than this, you should blame yourself So These angels who are writing, they write everything In Surat Al-Kahf, Allah SWT says Whoa, what sort of a book it is It has left nothing unrecorded of our deeds Whether it's small or great Good or bad So now we have everything recorded We have two groups, winners and losers Let's see what's going on The righteous people are in delight They are in pleasure So who are the righteous? What is Al-Bir? Who are Al-Abrar? Allah SWT says in Surat Al-Baqarah So Al-Bir is not just to perform the ibadah Praying, doing, no Who are the righteous? So it's not just doing the forms of ibadah No Who are the righteous? Believe in Allah And the day of judgement Angels, angels, the Qur'an, the prophets And the will-kurba So to give wealth in spite of the love for it To the will-kurba, the relatives The orphans, the masakeen, the needy And the traveler who needs some help He doesn't have anyone to help him And those who ask for help What is the reward for freeing slaves? And those who perform the prayers Not only prayed, remember this It's not pray, it's perform the prayer So it's not just doing the movements of the prayer No, we are present in the prayer وَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاتَ وَأَاتَزَّكَا Given Zaka وَالْمُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ إِذَا عَهَدُوا They fulfill the promise, if they promise وَالْصَّابِرِينَ Those who are patient during في البقساء in poverty وضراء وحين البقس during the battles أولائك الذين صدقوا وأولائكهم المتقوم Those are the righteous people So those are الأبرار الله سبحانه وتعالى says The righteous people are in delight إن الأبرار اللي في نعيم So what is the best of the نعيم in the day after It's to look at Allah سبحانه وتعالى to have the gaze of Allah سبحانه وتعالى This would be the highest joy in the day of judgment So Allah سبحانه وتعالى is pleased with those أبرار and they are pleased with him So this is the first group وإن الفجر لفي جحيم وإن الفجر لفي جحيم And thoroughly the wicked will be in blazing fire will be in hell fire the evildoers will be in hell and in eternal torment Those are the worst of creatures who wronged themselves So they deserved the severe punishment What will happen to them They are in the blazing fire لفي جحيم يصلونها يوم الدين They shall be there They shall enter it on the day of judgment and they will taste its burning flame They will suffer the consequences of their deeds and evil actions that they were doing and they did not care about the day of judgment and the punishment there وما هم عنها بغائبين They shall never be absent from it Even one hour of torment they would wish that this punishment would be reduced No They would wish that they would get some rest from the punishment No, they would wish they will die from and to end this punishment They will leave it and return to it Every time they wish to emerge from it they will be returned to it It will be eternal torment for them وما أدراكما يوم الدين And what do you know of the day of judgment Why they did not pay attention ثم ما أدراكما يوم الدين Again it's an emphasis on what you know of the day of judgment So why did you man take it easy during your life and you did not care It's a threat It will be a great day What will happen on that day يوم لا تملك نفسا لنفس شيئا والأمر يوم إذن لله On that day when no one can benefit anyone else no soul is responsible for another soul And the command that they will be to Allah and Allah only So Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said يا بني هاشم أنقذوا أنفسكم من النار لا أملك لكم من الله شيئا Oh children of Hashem Save yourselves from the fire for I have no power to cause you any benefits from Allah He even told his own daughter يا فاتيمة وعملي فلا أغني عنكي من الله شيئا It's the day when no one shall have the power to do anything for another one unless Allah سبحانه وتعالى will this thing will happen And on that day Allah will ask لمن الملك اليوم لله الواحد القهار There is no one to answer except him Who is this is the kingdom this day Who is the kingdom this day It's Allah's The one the irresistible He's the owner of the judgment Nothing will happen except what he will So The whole surah is just convincing or instilling in the mind and in the heart the importance of the day after Now we will move to another surah with a little bit of a shift at the beginning of the surah So the surah to starts with something that was widespread at the time of Sayyidina Muhammad What was it So people would go short in waiting for people and they would ask they would command for full measures if someone is waiting for them when they want to receive their due from others they demand it it should be given to them in full but when they measure for other people they would give less than what was due and one of the people at the time of Sayyidina Muhammad was Allah he used to have two measures if he wants to for people he would use one of them if someone will wait for him he will use the other one the accurate one So Allah SWT revealed this surah so it's a big threat it's destruction it's a big threat to those who give short weight and who take full weight from others so they scammed only small amounts not substantial amounts from what is due to others but this happens always who demand to receive their full measures their due in full from others and sometimes they would ask for extra as well and when they they have to give measures or to give weight to others they will give less than due they would decrease the amount or whatever to that they will be giving Allah SWT talked about this thing in several so many surahs in surah he says and give full measure give full measure when you measure and weigh with a balance that is straight that's good and better for you at the end again in surah he says again in surah he says he says and observe the weight with equity and do not make balance deficient well let's stop here and think about one important issue does this does this mean only to be fair in weighing and measures and scale this issue covers everything it covers the husband who asks for full rights whereas he doesn't give his wife her full rights it also covers the the one who goes to work he doesn't fulfill his duty but at the end of the month he gets all his salary in full it's about the father he gives his duties to his children and he asks them for full respect well it's about the wife who does not do her best who does not do her duties towards her husband her children her in-laws everything that's related to her life as a wife and she always asks her duty her full rights there should be balance do they not think that they will be resurrected on a great day do they not fear this resurrection and standing before Allah SWT who knows everything there will be great horror on that day great fear on that day يوم يقوم الناس ولي رب العالمين so people on that day will all all stand before Allah SWT رب العالمين the Lord of all that exists they will be held accountable for their deeds so Allah SWT emphasized that everyone is going to be there يقول يوم يقوم الناس ولي رب العالمين حتى يغيب أحدهم في رشحه إلى أنصافي أزوني this will be the day that mankind will all stand before Allah SWT until one of them will sink up to the middle of his ears in sweat يكونون في العرق كقدر أعمالهم فمنهم يأخוזه إلى عقبي ومنهم يأخוזه ومنهم يأخذوا إلى حقويه ومنهم يلجموا الجامع they will be submerged in sweat based on their deeds there will be those whose sweat will come up to their heels others to their knees others to their wests others to their necks there will be breathed in sweat so we mentioned in the previous Surah Surat Al-Infitan which we just covered that the angels are writing the deeds this Surah will talk about the books that the angels have written the records that have been written كلا إن كتاب الفجاري لفي سجين the record of the wicked people the record of the evil doers is preserved in سجين what is سجين سجين يقول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول الله عز و جل في روح الكافر وكتبوا كتابه في سجين وسجين و هي تحت الأرض السابعة so Allah says concerning the souls of the non-believers record his book in سجين and سجين is beneath the seventh earth it's the lowest of the low so where is the record of the wicked people of the evil doer people in the lowest of the low so what is سجين كتاب المرقوم what is this book written complete and preserved no one can add to it or remove from it anything no one can edit anything in that book وَاَيْلُوا يَوْمَا إِذِنْ لِلْمُكَالْدِبِينَ whoa whoa that day to those who deny disgraceful torment that day to those who denied وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلْيُونَ so what will happen who are those who disbelieved who are those وَاَيْلُوا يَوْمَا إِذِنْ لِلْمِكَالْدِبِينَ الذين يُكَالْذِبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينَ so those who deny the day of recompense they do not believe it will happen so Allah is threatening those people who are those وَمَا يُكَالْذِبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعتَدٍ أَثِينَ and none can deny it except every transgressor every sinner doing what's forbidden exceeding the limits when acquiring the permissible also إذا تُطلَى عليه آياتنا قَالَ أَسَنْطِيرُ الأَوَلِينَ so when our revelations are recited to him he says oh wait these are tales of the ancient times these are tales of the legends of the former people so he would deny that these are this Quran is by Allah swt they would think that the Muhammad is reciting something that has been said to him or something that has been given to him as stories of the previous people of the previous nations of previous prophets كلَّا بَلْرَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِ مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبْرُونَ name but what they have earned has stained their hearts so what's going on now أَسَرْطِيرُ الأَوَلِينَ the Quran is the words of Allah swt but the only thing that blocked their heart from believing in it that they would say about it is that it is the dark covering that overcome their hearts because of their sins let's understand this in a way take a white page and if there is a sin then just put a black dot another black dot another black dot for sins so if someone does not repent the whole page will be filled up with black dots and the whole page will be a cover on the heart so the only way to erase these black dots is to repent to Allah swt to do istighfar to promise Allah that the bad thing will not happen again so this this istighfar asking for forgiveness would be an eraser to erase these black dots otherwise the heart will be covered with a veil of blackness Sayyidina Muhammad says if our sins were black in his heart then the servant of Allah swt if he commits a sin then there will be a black spot a black spot will appear on his heart so if he repent and ask for forgiveness then his heart will be polished again in zada but if he increased in sin zada then these spots continue to increase that is what Allah swt so this explains the ayahs of Allah swt so Iran covers the heart of the non-believers when we say a story of the previous prophet when we mention a story about certain nation we take the wisdom of that story so Allah swt is saying there will be a cover on the hearts of the sinners then we have to be aware that saying this will be an eraser and as a polish to the heart they are on that day veiled from seeing the lord and this by itself is the worst of the punishment so they will not see Allah swt as the righteous people will see him so they veiled themselves from worshipping Allah swt in dunya and Allah swt veiled them kept them away then verily they will indeed enter the burning flame of hell they will not see Allah and they will be with the people of fire then then it will be said to them that this is what you used to deny it will be said to them in a way of scalding on a way of belittling, humiliating those who denied the day after so this is the status of the non-believers where their book is and how they are tortured now the other part is the verily the record of the righteous believers is preserved in a place of highness it's the highest of the high where the other ones were in the lowest of the low but the abrar the righteous, the believers are in the highest of the high, the record is preserved in highness so it is the 7th heaven and it contains the souls of the believers so Ya Allah we ask you to consider us with those who you are pleased with them now what do you know of that place is the highest place that the record of the abrar of the believers of the winners is kept in that area so it's honoring the righteous yes it's a written book complete and present it's guarded and witnessed by the angels nearest to Allah then Allah to talk about the place of the abrar so he says verily the righteous believers will be in delight what are they going to see what are they going to witness I have prepared for my righteous slaves that which no eye has seen no ear has heard and has never crossed the mind of any human being they will be in eternal pleasure in gardens that can present the bounties on the righteous they will be in eternal pleasure on the righteous they will be seated on high couches looking around they are watching and enjoying the bounties of Allah know their faces so you recognize the brightness of delight in their faces you notice a glow of delight in their faces when you look at them they are happy they are happy with the great delight they are happy with what they have what Allah has prepared for them so some faces on the day of judgment what about them some faces will be reflecting light they will be bright they will be rejoicing the good news they will be celebrating those are the people of Tardis so they will be given to drink of pure sealed wine whose seal shall be Allah SWT says the righteous people the winners will have rivers of a lot of things one of them is rivers of wine delicious to those who drink and in that for this reward for this situation for these bounties let the competitors compete let them strive to gain more so the companions of Sayyidina Muhammad SAW when they used to gather they would ask each other how many how many khatmas have you read how many raka'z have you prayed how long did you go for Qiyamul-layt how long did you do that how much time do you spend with Allah SWT how present were you in your prayer for this for the life of this let the workers work let people encourage each other let them compete and strive to gain more and his wife is from Tasneem so he is from Rahiq al-Makhtoun khitam is a mix and in that the competitors and his wife is from Tasneem so this wine which they will be offered is being described it's mixed with Tasneem what is Tasneem why do they drink with this Tasneem is a pure fountain that's coming down from heights which has the most excellent and exalted drink it's a fountain it's a fountain for those who are the nearest to Allah SWT those who were who were who were those wicked non-believers who committed by deeds, evil deeds used to laugh at those who believed they used to laugh at the believers they would mock them they would humiliate them what is their marrubihim yetadha mazoon and whenever those non-believers pass the believers they used to wink one another they mocked the believers with their eye gestures what is and when they return to their kin's false so their own people or the non-believers whoever who are related to or the same religion they would return very happy justing they would go back pleased they did something bad to the believers they made fun of them they would love to talk about what they have done to the believers what is their or them so if those non-believers so the righteous the believers, the good people they would say they have gone astray because they have gone astray by not worshiping the idols and by not worshiping the gods because they left the religion of the fathers and for fathers they abandoned this amazing religion so why are they talking about them like this why are they mocking them why are they doing them they were not sent as watchers or guardians over them Allah SWT has not appointed them as keepers over them so they are not so why are they criticizing them these wrongdoers have not been made responsible for them why have they made them the focus of their attention so what will happen on the day of judgment today on the day of judgment the believers are laughing at non-believers so they would say you are laughing at us in dunya but now it's our turn to laugh at you so those who believed they will be laughing they recline on couches watching enjoying their reward in paradise they are Allah SWT is pleased with them is pleased with them and they are pleased with them they are pleased with the great things with the bounties with the reward that they are living in have the non-believers been duly rewarded what they used to do have they been recompensed for their mockery and belittling of the believers they surely will be paid in full so if we have a general look at the surah we find that Allah SWT has started this surah by talking about those who do bad in measurements who go bad for measuring whether real measuring or whether it's just an image of the measuring so Allah SWT wants to have a strong society and wants to have good believers who believe in the day after and that's why he sent the messengers to explain to his servants what they will expect if they do good or if they do bad we'll go on next week assalamu alaikum
