Welcome Friends:  Ahlan wa sahlan<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ended yesterday\u2019s Reading with verses 44 and 45, which may have seemed surprising to some, in that God opened wide the gates of Worldly Pleasures to these Heedless persons, who indulged in these pleasures, only to be taken suddenly \u2018to account\/to task,\u2019 then becoming dumbstruck and despairing\/mublisoon.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This turn of events is quite natural, explained in Asad\u2019s note 35 as a historical phenomenon in the inevitability \u201cof social and moral disintegration of communities that have lost sight of spiritual truths.\u201d<\/em> Also, God gives us many chances to initiate change for the better as He allows for BOTH the suppression and release of the earth\u2019s bounties, and reminds us to be compliant in supplication \u2018taDharru3\u2019 to Him, for only with that inborn FiTrah of love and certainty\u2026  comes relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.  Today\u2019s Reading holds seven \u201cSay!\u201d commands, as well as other verses directing the Messenger, peace upon him, on how to deal with his Denying tribe on one hand, and \u2018Those who have Faith and Trust in God\u2019s Signs\u2019 on the other.  We must bear in mind that, when these verses were revealed, Those who Attained Faith consisted mostly of the down-trodden in the Meccan community; they were mostly young people, many of whom were slaves and servants, or immigrants with no financial or tribal backing.  They were the Messenger\u2019s \u2018company\u2019 at all times, a matter which caused the arrogant persons of \u2018higher breeding\u2019 to distance themselves from his company, and to ask him to send away the \u2018lower class\u2019 whenever they arrived, or else they would not stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In verses 46-47 The Messenger is told to ask them 2 questions that focus on God as Creator and Provider (of their sensory and cognitive organs, and of their general well-being and freedom from suffering).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Verses 48-49 are statements indicating the reason behind sending Messengers and the result of denying\/belying those Divine Messages, and here again repeats the statement of \u2018\u2026 no fear shall be (brought) upon them nor shall they grieve<\/em>.. (appearing 12 times in the Qur\u2019an<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/em>Verse 50 has important information to remember:  This is where the Messenger is told to highlight his mortality, making it clear that he possesses neither material treasures nor supernatural powers and he does not know The \u2018gheyb\u2019\/The Unseen; all that is beyond human perception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HQ27:65 tells us that no one, whether in the heavens or on earth, knows The \u2018gheyb\/The unseen\u2019 EXCEPT GOD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we hear people saying that the Messenger, peace upon him, knew THE Unseen \u2018al gheyb,\u2019 they probably do not mean \u2018ALL the unseen.\u2019   What they may mean is that he knew much more of the unseen than any other human (which is of course part of being God\u2019s Messenger) and that he was also granted to see OF The Unseen whatever God had shown him.  He did not know THE Unseen.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one does, except God Himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In three clear Qur\u2019anic statements the Messenger plainly says, as commanded by God: \u201c\u2026I do not know the Unseen<\/em>\u2026\u201d (HQ6:50; 11:31) and,\u201c\u2026.if I had known the Unseen\u2026.\u201d<\/em>(HQ7:188). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is God who imparts to him through \u2018waHi\/\u0648\u062d\u064a\u2019 or revelation\/exclusive information about the Unseen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this verse the Messenger explains that he only follows what has been delivered to him and asks, \u201c\u2026are the blind and the sighted equal, do you not then \u2018consider\/take thought\u2019?\u201d (Ali\/Asad)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 51 tells him to warn -by means of this revelation- all those who fear being gathered to their Lord-Sustainer.  None else do they have as Intercessor or Protector.. perchance they would be Aware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.  Verse 52 begins with the command to the Messenger, NOT to send away those who call unto their Lord-Sustainer morning and evening seeking his direction (intending Him as their direction of focus \u2018wajh\u2019-(\u0648\u062c\u0647.  What a beautiful description is given of these early men and women of Faith, and what love God shows for them! <\/em>(Commentators, such as Zamakhshari, say that \u2018morning and evening\u2019 indicates daylong continuity.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The verse then shows that each person (whether Deliverer or Recipient of the Message) is accountable for oneself, and that, were the Messenger to ask them to leave (when the arrogant persons arrived), he would become one of the wrongdoers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 53 continues, showing us how humans could become (by God\u2019s design, as could anything really) \u2018Fitna\u2019 trials by fire for each other (also HQ6:165)-here referring to the arrogant persons versus the poor people of Mecca;  each side being a Fitnah[1]<\/sup><\/a> to the other.  The arrogant here are wondering how God could have favored the poor over them (with His guidance) \u2026the response is that He Best Knows those who would be appreciative\/productive even with little means \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0627\u0643\u0631\u064a\u0646\/Al Shaakireen (See definition of \u2018shukr \u0634\u0643\u0631.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 54 is amazing in the \u2018three- points-delivered-as-one,\u2019 which God commands His Messenger to say to Those of Faith and Trust in His Signs (many of whom were suffering the cruelty of their \u2018masters\u2019 on a daily basis:\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When those who have Faith and Trust in God\u2019s Signs approach the Messenger, he should:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
