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

Yesterday\u2019s Reading was SO interesting! It ended by giving us one reason why God sent Messengers to mankind: Our Lord-Sustainer would not bring about the break-down\/expiry\/death\u2019 of wrong-doing townships without their people having been warned.  This detail is very important! [1]<\/sup><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

1.     Today\u2019s Reading continues, indicating the importance of our deeds and their results IN LIFE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 132 shows us literally, that to each there are \u2018darajat,\u2019 as in further \u2018treading\/footing\u2019 related to what they had been doing\/ how they had been progressing, \u2018darajat\u2019 that raise them (in Life, as in HQ6:165; 43:32. See Blog Post Day 19<\/a> and Blog Post Day 47<\/a> for the definition of \u2018da-ra-ja\u2019)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There seems to be a misconception amongst most of us that the benefits of our good deeds are reserved for the afterlife.  Do we not see the countless tangible benefits to be had, here, in this life?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yusuf Ali\u2019s interpretation of this verse<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhammad Asad\u2019s interpretation of this verse.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice Asad\u2019s addition of the words \u2018shall be judged,\u2019 which are not in the Arabic.   Asad, like many interpreters, obviously considered the \u2018darajat\u2019 here the \u2018degrees\u2019 of the Hereafter. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interpreting the meanings of Qur\u2019an is not a simple task! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.     Verses 133-134 assure listeners of the Self-Sufficiency of their Lord, versus their own temporary existence on earth, adding that what they are being promised shall indeed come to pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Verse 135 the Messenger \ufdfa is commanded to tell them to continue working \u2018upon\u2019 their position<\/strong>, indicating that where they stand should not be where they stop at, because they could rise if they tried!  The Messenger is also told to inform them that he himself is WORKING (present continuous), and they shall indeed come to know to whom the Abode shall ultimately belong. The verse ends by stating that The Wrongdoers cannot achieve \u2018FalaaH\/Success!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(This seems to validate our understanding of verse 132.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.     Verses 136, 138-139 discuss several customs rife among the shirking, idol-worshipping tribes of the time, related to their committing infanticide, their animal sacrifices for other than God, their gender-bias as to who eats what, and their arguments with which they -in effect- seek to confuse people regarding their \u2018Deen\/ Accountability Standard.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both verses 138[2]<\/sup><\/a> and 139 end by warning that God shall recompense\/repay them (what they deserve), first, for their fabrications\/lies, and secondly for THEIR DESCRIPTION, [3]<\/sup><\/a><\/sup>  which indicates that they elaborated on the falsity, adding further description so as to convince.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us stop for a moment and check the scenario mentioned in these verses to see whether it also speaks about OUR time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
