1 Memorization of Surah AlBaqarah Juz 2+Tafseer Surah Al Baqarah Tuesday, October :00 PM (Malay Peninsula Standard Time) INTRODUCTION In surah Al Kahf /1, Allah Said : ٱل ح م د ل ل ه ٱلهذ ى أ نز ل ع ل ى ع ب د ه ٱل ك ت ب و ل م ي ج ع ل له ه ۥ ع و ج ا )١ ) All the praises and thanks are to Allâh, Who has sent down to His slave (Muhammad SAW) the Book (the Qur'ân), and has not placed therein any crookedness. (1) And in Surah Al Isra : و ن ن ز ل م ن ٱلق ر ء ان م ا ه و ش ف ا ء و ر ح م ة ل ل م ؤ م ن ي ن ه ل خ س ار ا )٨٢ ) و ل ي ز يد ٱل هظ ل م ين إ And We send down of the Qur'ân that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islâmic Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) nothing but loss. (82) Al Quran is Kalamullah. If you know Allah, the Quran will have an effect on you. The Quran is shifa & rahmah on mukmineen so we much believe in Allah for the Quran to be shifa on us. And rahmatun lil mukmineen Quran is a Mercy for the believers و ر ح م ة ل ل م ؤ م ن ي ن And in Surah Al a la : (10) (Allâh), The reminder will be received by him who fears س ي هذ هكر م ن ي خ ش ى ١٠( ) We remember all these by remembering Allah. If you have taqwa, then Allah will teach you. Ayat 2/208 stopped last. Today 209 connected to was abt tricks & plots of shaitan. The 7 steps shaitan use how trick humans, divert people, weakness of people etc. Ayat 2/210

2 س و ر ة الب ق ر ة ي أ ي ه ا ٱلهذ ين ء ام ن وا ٱد خ ل وا ف ى ٱلس لم ڪ ا هفة و ل ت هتب ع وا خ ط و ٲت ٱل هشي ط ن إ هنه ۥ ل ڪ م ع د و م ب ين )٢٠٨( ف إ ن ز ل لت م م ن ب ع د م ا يز ج ا ء تڪ م ٱل ب ي ن ت ف ٱع ل م و ا أ هن ٱ ه ل ل ع ز ه ل أ ن ي أت ي ه م ٱ ه ل ل ف ى ظ ل ل م ن ٱل غ م ام و ٱلم ل ٮ ڪ ة و ق ض ى ح ڪ يم )٢٠٩( ه ل ي نظ ر ون إ ٱ ل م ر و إ ل ى ٱ ه ل ل ت ر ج ٱ ل م ور )٢١٠ ) O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islâm (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islâmic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy. (208) Then if you slide back after the clear signs (Prophet Muhammad SAW and this Qur'ân, and Islâm) have come to you, then know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (209) Do they then wait for anything other than that Allâh should come to them in the shadows of the clouds and the angels? (Then) the case would be already judged. And to Allâh return all matters (for decision). (210) RECAP : ي أ ي ه ا ٱلهذ ين ء ام ن وا ٱد خ ل وا ف ى ٱلس لم ڪ ا هفة و ل ت هتب ع وا خ ط و ٲت ٱل هشي ط ن إ هنه ۥ ل ڪ م ع د و م ب ين )٢٠٨( O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islâm (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islâmic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain/clear enemy. (Ayat 2/208) In Ayat 2/208, Allah Tell us to enter into Islam by accepting it completely, implementing ALL rules of Islam, not only easy rules. We do not do this when tricked by Shaitan it wants us to follow our desires. So Allah Tells us not to follow the steps of Shaitan Shaitan is beautifying sins for you so that you will reject the Rules of Allah and abide what Shaitan tricked you with ie to sin. Be aware of the STEPS of Shaitan, who make us not fear him like he is the doctor, the counsellor but Allah Tells us Shaitan is CLEAR ENEMY, 100% enemy. In Surat ul Taghabun (64), it is stated that ي أ ي ہ ا ٱلهذ ين ء ام ن و ا إ هن م ن أ ز و ٲج ك م و أ و ل د ڪ م ع د وا لهڪ م ف ٱح ذ ر وه م و إ ن ت ع ف وا و ت ص ف ح وا و ت غ ف ر وا ف إ هن ٱ ه ل ل غ ف ور هرح يم )١٤ ) O you who believe! Verily, among your wives and your children are your enemies (who may stop you from the obedience of Allâh), therefore beware of them! But if you pardon (them) and overlook, and forgive (their faults), then verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (64/14)

3 There is ع د و ا aduy/enemies from our children & wives but these ع د و ا aduy / enemies do not take us out of Islam. It is not ADUY MUBIN ( plain/clear enemy) like Shaitan. Shaitan s enmity will affect you till destruction in An Naar in Akhirah. so always declare war against Shaitan & start solat, reading Quran & seeking refuge with Allah against Shaitan. Shaitan is always with you awaiting for moments / chance to divert you. Ayat 2/209. Allah says: ) ٢٠٩( ج ا ء ت ڪ م م ا ب ع د م ن ف إ ن ز ل ل ت م ٱل ب ي ن ت ع ز يز ٱ ه ل ل أ هن ف ٱع ل م و ا ح ڪ يم Then if you slide back after the clear signs (Prophet Muhammad SAW and this Qur'ân, and Islâm) have come to you, then know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (209) After mentioning about the Shaitan, Ayat 208 is connected to Ayat 209 with : Then if ف إ ن zalaltum ie you ز ل ل ت م you slide back zalla means slip. You are walking upright then you ز ل ل ت م divert. Inclined = zalla. Zalaltum = You slip & you divert from the path that you were on! In Ayat 208, after saying ٱد خ ل وا ف ى ٱلس ل م ڪ ا هفة (enter Islam perfectly), Allah Warn believers : perfect ( do not follow the footsteps of shaitan ). Humans are not و ل ت هتب ع وا خ ط و ٲت ٱل هشي ط ن we even defy Allah s Command, & we follow our desires & make mistakes. Messages came & we still did not abide. Allah still Sent more messages to us And Allah will highlight our weakness when we have a weakness in a particular aspect. Ayat 2/209 is a Warning : You will divert. Allah refers DIRECTLY to the humans (who divert), not to the ف إ ن ز ل لت م Shaitan. Because humans divert even after : م ن ب ع د م ا ج ا ء ت ڪ م ٱل ب ي ن ت AFTER the clear signs (Prophet Muhammad SAW and this Qur'ân, and Islâm) have come to you Bayyinat is plural of Bayyinah from baana meaning apparent & clear a clear message or Ayat or Sunnah in which the message will never be mistaken. The Ayat & Sunnah is brought to you clear.

4 Allah Tells us that people who divert are NOT ignorant of the legislation (Allah Forgives one who diverts or sins out for forgetfulness, or by force or out of ignorance. ) But people will zalal ie inclined to divert from the sirat ul mustaqeem. Sirat is very thin, very sharp. We cannot cross on our own by ourselves we need Allah to cross the sirat ul mustaqeem to go to Allah, to reach Paradise. So Ayat 2/208 refers to Shaitan & Ayat 2/209 refers to us! There is an Ayat in the Quran mentioning that the Shaitan make them divert. But in this Ayat 2/209, Allah Refers to us humans as the ones who divert even though we have the knowledge that is clear ( bayyinah). ٱل ب ي ن ت ج ا ء ت ڪ م م ا ب ع د م ن ف إ ن ز ل ل ت م Then if you slide back after the clear signs (Prophet Muhammad SAW and this Qur'ân, & Islâm) have come to you ف ٱع ل م و ا أ هن ٱ ه ل ل ع ز يز ح ڪ يم )٢٠٩ ) then know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (209) The Warning in Ayat 2/209 is to believers who had believed for a long time ز ل ل ت م. Madaniyyah not a new revert because this is Ayat ف إ ن م ن ب ع د م ا ج ا ء تڪ م ٱل ب ي ن ت The warning after is about His Action not about His Creation or An Naar. Allah Continues with : All-Wise. then know that Allâh is All-Mighty, ف ٱع ل م و ا أ هن ٱ ه ل ل ع ز يز ح ڪ يم )٢٠٩ ) is a command. The Verb is alima ie we need to know with certainty (yaqeen). Allah speak like ف ٱع ل م و ا this to believers who had believed for a long time, so even the warning is more stern different than Surah Makkiyyah. For new believers, Allah uses easier warnings eg An Naar, punishment. Allah Uses His Names Al Aziz ul Hakim ie Mussabihat ( Subbuh, Quddus) to negate all imperfection from Allah - uses a lot of Aziz ul Hakim. Allah Mussabihu now through different things in life, he ll see killing, etc but your duty is to Allah who is Perfect. The Decree makes all perfect. A situation on its own is imperfect but when put together in life, then the Decree is perfect. The Mussabihat makes you negate from whatever you see in front of you. We need tasbih because we are seeing things in front of us which can make us think bad of Allah! That is why Allah Mentions His

5 Name Aziz ul Hakim. Allah Make it happen because His Might make it happen. Whatever He Wills (by His Might), is NOT out of place. Allah is Al Aziz and Allah is Al Hakim. Each Name is already beautiful, but when the 2 Names - Al Aziz ul Hakim are put together, will add more beauty. He is All Mighty. We are seeing things that make us wonder / question regarding the Might of Allah! But His Might make it happen with the Wisdom of Aziz ul Hakim. Qudrat Allah A person who is Aziz is noble but he is not wise. He needs people to do everything for him. He may do things with no sense. And people may do things for him out of fear of him. Subhana Allah, His MIGHT is connected to His WISDOM His Might overcomes everybody & no one can touch Him with harm. Even if you see them talking bad about Allah but in fact, no one can affect Allah, AL AZIZ, even by an iota and no one can disable Allah. The human who is Aziz can be zalim & oppressive!! Allah is the One who grants you Izza Your Izza is not from position, or money, or family ties. So Allah can also bring you down. Humans Izza is not a personal attribute instead it goes up & it goes down. Sometimes people look up at you & sometimes they look down at you. But with Allah, His Might is ABSOLUTE & will not be decreased even by an iota even if everybody talks bad about Allah. Allah, Al Aziz, cannot be touched by harm at all & He, Al Aziz, overcomes everything. This Is Izza Allah. Hence the Mussabihat. Huwa Al Aziz is mentioned in Surah Al Hashr 3 times in 59/1, 59/23 & 59/24 Al Aziz ul Hakim together is mentioned in Surat ul Jumua 2 times in 62/1 & 62/3 Meaning nothing will happen ( even if you want it to happen ), except if Allah Wants it for you. You want so many things & yet nothing happens and whatever you do NOT want to happen, will instead happen! This shows that whatever Allah Wills, will happen not by our will. Aziz the Power - occur by His Might and no one can interfere. Any attempt otherwise will be worthless. Al Aziz ul Hakim Might with Hiqmah His Action (with Might) will be in its place. Whatever Allah Decide with His Might & Wisdom, is best to happen. eg Aziz ul Hakim made Musa alaihi salam raised in Firaun s palace. Softening Firaun s heart toward Musa, eventhough Firaun wanted male babies killed. Firaun has might but he killed, & he oppressed; whereas Allah Aziz ul Hakim ( Might with Wisdom). More beauty when the 2 Names are together. Ayat 2/209. Allah says: ) ٢٠٩( ج ا ء ت ڪ م م ا ب ع د م ن ف إ ن ز ل ل ت م ٱل ب ي ن ت ع ز يز ٱ ه ل ل أ هن ف ٱع ل م و ا ح ڪ يم Then if you slide back after the clear signs (Prophet Muhammad SAW and this Qur'ân, and Islâm) have come to you, then know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (209) After receiving Guidance & Messages ( Quran & Sunnah), but the ( longtime) believers still slip,

6 ف ٱع ل م و ا أ هن ٱ ه ل ل ع ز يز / then know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise means that these ح ڪ يم believers now have no more excuse. Allah Aziz, the All Mighty can Punish the person by His Might & this Punishment is the Wisdom of Allah. We are being Warned by Allah s Izza. Allah is able to Humiliate people. The Punishment of Allah is a Humiliation & the Reward of Allah is an Honor. And Allah Ends Saying : ف ٱع ل م و ا أ هن ع ز يز ح ڪ يم then know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise ) ٢٠٩( ٱل ب ي ن ت ج ا ء ت ڪ م م ا ب ع د م ن ز ل ل ت م ف إ ن أ هن ف ٱع ل م و ا ٱ ه ل ل ٱ ه ل ل ع ز يز ح ڪ يم Then if you slide back after the clear signs (Prophet Muhammad SAW and this Qur'ân, and Islâm) have come to you, then know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (2/209) So Allah Deal with you by His Names which He (Allah) Mentions (in the Quran) ; that is Allah Dealing with you according to this Name/s. Even Allah s Punishment is Wisdom. SO people of An Naar will praise Allah. Al Musabihaat means you need to honor and to tasbeeh so that His Honor remains intact ( in the humans eyes). (His Honor is actually Absolute nothing depletes it in actuality). You are, in this life, swimming (by analogy). If you stop swimming or pause to look right or left, you will drown. If you have no target, then you will tire out & drown. So a believer ( analogy : swimmer) needs :- continuous movement meaning a believer has to constantly take the effort to tasbeeh concentration / focus believers do not let others sway them from offtrack a target / goal believers goal helps keep their motivation high not tired out of focus. You may feel pain, Tests but you shall reach the goal ( ie Paradise, Pleasure of Allah) by sheer willpower, because you shall WILL YOURSELF to reach the goal. These are TASBEEH. Root is sa-ba-ha meaning is related to swimming. In life you are swimming in an ocean but you tasbeeh continuously ( Allah is Perfect. Nothing take your focus away ). Your duty is not to comment on the Action of Allah but to keep on Tasbeeh (swimming continuously, with focus & a goal ) in life otherwise you will collapse because life is a Tests. Fitnah can decrease belief if you have no focus. The focus is Paradise & the Pleasure of Allah. Whatever happens, let it pass. This tasbeeh is where we can see Allah Azizun Hakimun. Allah is All Mighty All Wise.

7 What makes me think good always in my life? with Tasbeeh & with positive attitude in my life even when punishment & Tests are sent our way? Allah s Punishment for sure means that Allah, huwa Azizun Hakim. When Allah afflict anyone with affliction, we need to know that Allah Huwa Azizun Hakimun so that we can do Tasbeeh. Know that Allah is All Mighty All Wise & no one can stop it. When punishment on zalaltum ( those who slip), it is out of Might of Allah with His Hiqmah. Warnings are only for people after Bayyinat came to them. Ie If no bayyinaat, no warning. Warning comes after we gain knowledge. Knowledge is obligatory on Muslims especially about the matters of Allah, His Commands, His Warnings this is FARDHU AIN ( obligatory). 1. From this Ayat, Allah will not warn till they know 2. Knowledge is obligatory Fardhu Ain. 3. This warning will stop the person from slipping he will think 100 times before he slips because he knows the repercussion. 4. Ayat about when you slip, there was no mention of Shaitan. When you follow Shaitan after knowing Shaitan is your clear enemy, then this is your problem. In Surah Hashr, Allah says : نس ن ٱڪ ف ر ف ل هما ك ف ر ق ال إ ن ى ب ر ى ء م نك إ ن ى أ خ اف ٱ ه ل ل ر هب ٱل ع ل م ي ن ك م ث ل ٱل هشي ط ن إ ذ ق ال ل ل )١٦( ف ك ان ع ق ب ت ہ م ا أ هنہ م ا ف ى ٱل هنار خ ل د ي ن ف يہ ا و ذ ٲل ك ج ز ٲ ؤ ا ٱل هظ ل م ين )١٧ ) (Their allies deceived them) like Shaitân (Satan), when he says to man: "Disbelieve in Allâh." But when (man) disbelieves in Allâh, Shaitân (Satan) says: "I am free of you, I fear Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!" (16) So the end of both will be that they will be in the Fire, abiding therein. Such is the recompense of the Zâlimûn (i.e. polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in Allâh and in His Oneness). (17) The shaitan will tell you to disobey, disbelieve or sin according to what you are inclined to. Once you follow it & sin, shaitan will say "I am free of you, I fear Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn. Shaitan is symbol of logic he judges with its mind he is uses logic and convinces well. So do not slip intentionally & keep Ayat 2/209 always in our mind.

8 AYAT 2/210 Ayat 208 was a command. Ayat 209 was a warning. Ayat 210 is to show how their mind is very small - istighfa ه ل ي نظ ر ون إ ه ل أ ن ي أت ي ه م ٱ ه ل ل ف ى ظ ل ل م ن ٱل غ م ام و ٱلم ل ٮ ڪ ة و ق ض ى ٱ ل م ر و إ ل ى ٱ ه ل ل ت ر ج ٱ ل م ور )٢١٠ ) Do they then wait for anything other than that Allâh should come to them in the shadows of the clouds and the angels? (Then) the case would be already judged. And to Allâh return all matters (for decision). (2/210) Allah told the believers not to follow shaitan & do not slip / divert after you had received the messages ( Quran & Sunnah ). And yet they were not listening & not following so Allah asked (in meaning) Till when will you stay like this? or What are you waiting for? similar to Surah Hadid : )١٦ ) أ ل م ي أن ل لهذ ين ء ام ن و ا أ ن ت خ ش ق ل وب ہ م ل ذ ڪ ر ٱ ه ل ل و م ا ن ز ل م ن ٱل ح ق Has not the time come for the hearts of those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) to be affected by Allâh's Reminder (this Qur'ân), and that which has been revealed of the truth (16) These are the believers who fast, pray & do good deeds, but (deeds) is NOT what Allah Wants. Allah Wants your HEARTS. So many of Allah s Creations are worshipping Allah : the animals are praising Allah but Allah does not want our actions for it is our hearts that Allah Wants. Islam is in the heart, not the actions. When we sacrifice a cow, the meat of it & the blood of it, will not reach Allah. What reaches Allah is the state of our heart when doing this sacrifice. Our solat, sedeqah, good deeds will NOT reach Allah UNTIL our heart is there ( that we are doing this for Allah s Sake). ( See Surah Hadid, Ayat 16 above ) The believers are praying, doing good deeds, etc but Allah do not want us to be in the religion like a machine or to be in competition. The case of one from Bani Israel whom Allah wants to send to Jannah by His mercy but the Bani Israel man refused! He wants to go to Jannah by his good deeds. So all his good deeds were put on the balance and Allah s Gift of one eye to him was put on the other. Is there gratitude for this just one eye!? If he do not appreciate & thank Allah for having this one eye, then we have done nothing even after doing all the work ( good deeds). This person, an aabd, was a devotee

9 worshipping Allah for 70 years - yet all these deeds did not equal even one eye that Allah gave. What more the other gifts Allah grant us the brain, the Islam, the Iman which Allah Give us? So what Allah Appreciate, is the MOVEMENT OF THE HEART. Eg of the man who killed 99 people, and then killed 100 people. He was on the way to a new town ( to seek better environment) after repenting but died on the way he did not even reach the new town, yet Allah Forgives him & allows him to enter Jannah eventhough humans see him as a criminal. Why? Because Allah Sees his heart ( which repented ). Our heart is the place of taqwa which Allah Looks at : ي أ ي ہ ا ٱل هناس إ هنا خ ل ق ن ك م م ن ذ ك ر و أ نث ى و ج ع ل ن ك م ش ع وب ا و ق ب ا ٮ ل ل ت ع ار ف و ا إ هن أ ڪ ر م ك م ع ند ٱ ه ل ل أ ت ق ٮ ك م إ هن ٱ ه ل ل ع ل يم خ ب ير )١٣ ) O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allâh is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. he is one of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2). Verily, Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (49/13) After all the command, in Surah Hadid, Allah ask what is wrong with you?? when He said : أ ل م ي أ ن ل لهذ ين ء ام ن و ا أ ن ت خ ش ق ل وب ہ م ل ذ ڪ ر ٱ ه ل ل و م ا ن ز ل م ن ٱل ح ق Has not the time come for the hearts of those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) to be affected by Allâh's Reminder (this Qur'ân), and that which has been revealed of the truth And in Surah Baqarah, Ayat 2/210, Allah Asks if the believers wait till Allah comes and the angels come in the Day of Judgement? You are still living in your own world. Scholars say this Ayat is very strong : ه ل أ ن ي أت ي ه م ٱ ه ل ل ف ى ظ ل ل م ن ٱل غ م ام و ٱلم ل ٮ ڪ ة و ق ض ى ٱ ل م ر و إ ل ى ٱ ه ل ل ت ر ج ه ل ي نظ ر ون إ ٱ ل م ور ٢١٠( ) Do they then wait for anything other than that Allâh should come to them in the shadows of the clouds and the angels? (Then) the case would be already judged. And to Allâh return all matters (for decision). (2/210)

10 -: ه ل ي نظ ر ون at the beginning of a sentence normally indicates that the sentence is a question. But our belief ه ل & Aqeedah tells us that Allah does not need to ask a question for He already Knows all answers. So this ه ل in Ayat 2/210 is to make us think. Here, ه ل in Ayat 2/210 is a negation. ه ل ي نظ ر ون : Normally, the complexity of the Arabic language makes us understand that ي نظ ر ون إ ه ل followed by ه ل without being followed by ي نظ ر ون means looking. And إ waiting. means إ = means waiting = means looking The Arabic-English dictionary will say ي نظ ر ون means looking. So in Ayat 2/210, we can wrongly say it means they are looking at Allah whereas our belief & aqeedah denies that anyone can look at Allah. When we explain in English, we are not giving haq / truth to it. So for the Quran to be illuminating, we must strengthen our belief & aqeedah before studying / going to the Quran. Even for the Arabic speakers, they need to know Aqeedah before going to the Quran. Then only it will have the effect of the Quran illuminating. In this Ayat 2/210, actually means WAITING. Allah Say to those who follow the Shaitan & the rebellious people, and those who slip after the message & guidance: ه ل أ ن ي أت ي ه م ٱ ه ل ل ف ى ظ ل ل م ن ٱل غ م ام و ٱلم ل ٮ ڪ ة و ق ض ى ه ل ي نظ ر ون إ ٱ ل م ر و إ ل ى ٱ ه ل ل ت ر ج ٱ ل م ور )٢١٠ ) Do they then wait for anything other than that Allâh should come to them in the shadows of the clouds and the angels? (Then) the case would be already judged. And to Allâh return all matters (for decision). (210) So once we had received the Guidance, we must initiate a feeling within our hearts of wanting to keep on the Guidance & not stray away or slip. Do not take Faith & Guidance for granted. You need to appreciate Faith & Guidance, & that without Faith & Guidance, your life have no

11 meaning. Money & jewellery are nothing compared to Faith & Guidance. Faith & Guidance will take you till the end, will take you to Paradise & will light your grave & your crossing over the Sirat. This is invaluable. For someone with faith, there is no equivalent from the pleasures of the Duniyya. So do not lose Faith & Guidance once you have acquired it. Do not change once you acquired the Bayyinat / the clear signs. This Ayat 2/209 shows ) ٢٠٩( ٱل ب ي ن ت ج ا ء ت ڪ م م ا ب ع د م ن ز ل ل ت م ف إ ن ٱ ه ل ل ع ز يز أ هن ف ٱع ل م و ا ح ڪ يم Then if you slide back after the clear signs (Prophet Muhammad SAW and this Qur'ân, and Islâm) have come to you, then know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (2/209) Ask Allah to keep you steadfast on the Guidance once you have the Bayyinat. And not to slip. For the GUIDANCE, we need to have 2 things : 1. We need to have GRATITUDE & be GRATEFUL to ALLAH. Shaitan will make you ungrateful to Allah. When you are acquiring the knowledge, be grateful that you have the Bayyinat, the Guidance. 2. Make DOA to Allah to make your heart steadfast on the Guidance. Do not be in the group whom Allah WARNS as in Ayat 2/210 : Are you waiting for the Day of Judgement ( when it is too late)?? We only have this ONE LIFE to change or to catch up. In the Day of Judgement, all the unseen will be seen! There is no more AMAL (deeds) in the Day of Judgement. Amal (deeds) is now, in this life. Are you waiting for that Day when Allah & the Malaikat comes in the Day of Judgement to change?? THIS IS A GREAT WARNING. ي أ ت ي ه م ه ل ي نظ ر ون إ ه ل أ ن ي أت ي ه م ٱ ه ل ل ف ى ظ ل ل م ن ٱل غ م ام و ٱلم ل ٮ ڪ ة و ق ض ى ٱ ل م ر و إ ل ى ٱ ه ل ل ت ر ج ٱ ل م ور )٢١٠ ) Do they then wait for anything other than that Allâh should come to them in the shadows of the clouds and the angels? (Then) the case would be already judged. And to Allâh return all matters (for decision). (210)

12 The Verb in Ayat 2/210 relating to Allah is ي أ ت ي ه م to affirm that Allah ي أ ت (ya*ti or not) ie Allah Comes or not ( in the Day of Judgement). How Allah Comes is in the way that suits His Majesty. We cannot negate the Coming of Allah. Ahl ul Sunnah wa al Jamaah accepts when Allah Says He Comes ; we affirm it but cannot try to imagine HOW He Comes. Your duty is only to affirm what Allah ) ي أ ت ( Affirm without picturing it. ه ل ي نظ ر ون إ ه ل أ ن ي أت ي ه م ٱ ه ل ل ف ى ظ ل ل م ن ٱل غ م ام و ٱلم ل ٮ ڪ ة و ق ض ى ٱ ل م ر و إ ل ى ٱ ه ل ل ت ر ج ٱ ل م ور )٢١٠ ) Do they then wait for anything other than that Allâh should come to them in the shadows of the clouds and the angels? (Then) the case would be already judged. And to Allâh return all matters (for decision). (210) literally means Allah Comes in the shades of the clouds but AQEEDAH tells us that Allah is ظ ل ل not under the cloud, & nothing can surround Allah. Allah is Above all. This is important Aqeedah. Do not picture like in a movie! Nothing grasp Allah but Allah Grasp all the Vision. That means nobody & nothing surrounds Allah He is above the 7 Heavens, & Rose over the Throne. For us, we are surrounded by air & we are sitting on a chair anybody except Allah can be surrounded. But NOTHING surrounds Allah. Aqeedah is very important otherwise you can misunderstand a Verse in the Quran. Allah. means precedes. So the clouds do NOT surround Allah. The clouds precede ٱل غ م ام And the ٱل م ل ٮ ڪ ة (angels) will surround the people in the Day of Judgement. This reminds us of Surat Az Zumar 39/69 :

13 و أ ش ر ق ت ٱ ل ر ض ب ن ور ر ب ہ ا و و ض ٱل ك ت ب و ج ا ى ء ب ٱل هنب ي ن و ٱلش ہ د ا ء و ق ض ى ب ي ن ہ م ب ٱل ح ق و ه م ل ي ظل م ون )٦٩ ) And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allâh, when He will come to judge among men) and the Book will be placed (open) and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward, and it will be judged between them with truth, and they will not be wronged. (69) So Allah will Come but not in the way people will see Him. ( Believers see Allah only from Paradise when Allah lift the veil from His Face ). Disbelievers cannot see Allah. We must believe & affirm that Allah will Come as He said in the Quran; but we cannot picture this how & why & where are all beyond our capacity to do this. We cannot grasp Him. If we cannot even surround even one Name of Allah, then Allah Himself is beyond our grasp of vision. ه ل ي نظ ر ون إ ه ل أ ن ي أت ي ه م ٱ ه ل ل ف ى ظ ل ل م ن ٱل غ م ام و ٱلم ل ٮ ڪ ة و ق ض ى ٱ ل م ر و إ ل ى ٱ ه ل ل ت ر ج ٱ ل م ور )٢١٠ ) Do they then wait for anything other than that Allâh should come to them in the shadows of the clouds and the angels? (Then) the case would be already judged. And to Allâh return all matters (for decision). (210) means the clouds are in the forefront preceding ( Allah) not ف ى ظ ل ل م ن ٱل غ م ا م surrounding Allah. So Allah will Come. Judgement) and the angels ( will surround the people in the Day of و ٱلم ل ٮ ڪ ة (Then) the case would be already judged Allah will Come to و ق ض ى ٱ ل م ر differentiate between the people the good from the bad, People of Paradise from People of Hellfire. Allah will Account the people, to settle everything. Duniya is not the place to take your rights. Allah is the One Who will settle between the people in the Day of Judgement. Place to take the rights is in the Day of Judgement ( not this Duniyya). All matters belong to Allah Duniya, Deen, Decree, Legislations All Matters in Duniyya & Akhirah belong to Allah because He is the One who Judge, He is the One who Recompense, He is the One whose Warning is important, whose Punishment is important ALL the matters are referred to Allah.
