Hajj Matters
ymislam:
Who are those who should go to Hajj?
“…Pilgrimage thereto is a duty mankind owe to Allah, those who can afford the journey, but if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of His creatures.†[3.97]
Hajj is therefore mandatory as soon as one can afford the journey. When one has earned enough to cover all the liabilities that would be incurred solely due to the journey, Hajj becomes a duty. Liabilities would include cost of journey, visas, accommodation, expenses for those left behind and expenses immediately upon return (as there may be loss of wages during the journey). If we believe that it is Allah who Provides, what level of priority should we give to performing Hajj?
“…whoever holds in honor the Symbols of Allah (rush to fulfill the purpose of the rituals) such (honor) should come truly from piety of heart.†[22.32]
If one believes that their existence, their provision, their sustenance, their blessings, their opportunities, their successes are all given by Allah what should be the response at the first available opportunity to perform a duty for Him? Should one who believes rush to show his/her gratefulness? To help us understand, Allah reminds us:
“O men! It is you that have need of Allah: but Allah is the One Free of all wants (alone) Worthy of all Praise.†[35.15]
In our day-to-day rush to prove our worth and be successful, who do we need? To whom do we owe the success, status and position we enjoy in society? If, after enjoying blessings, one does not rush to show gratitude, what does it imply? What should be the attitude of a person who believes and wishes to be grateful?
What should be a person’s attitude during the actual Hajj? Should one look for opportunities to please Allah? Where/how would one find opportunities? How can one please Allah? Let us look at what Allah wants from us during Hajj:
“"That they may witness the benefits (provided) for them and celebrate the name of Allah through the Days appointed…†[22.28a]
Throughout one’s life, what are the benefits or blessings given by Allah? The sojourn of Hajj provides each person an opportunity to reflect on blessings given by Allah and thank Him, i.e. testify that it is Allah alone that has given the blessings and thank Him with complete devotion and piety in our hearts.
“…over the cattle which He has provided for them: then eat thereof and feed the distressed ones in want.†[22.28b]
One example of blessing is the food that Allah has provided for our Sustenance. While enjoying and thanking Allah for our food, we should not overlook the needs of those around us who are less well off.
“"Then let them complete the rites prescribed for them perform their vows…†[22.29]
Which vow is the most important?
“Being true in faith to Allah and never assigning partners to Him…†[22.31]
It needs to be worked out that self, any quality of self, wealth, status, ancestors, prophets, idols, animals, religious leaders, “pirsâ€, Satan, Jinn, stones, etc. are all created. Giving priority to any other being or thing other than Allah or using them as intercessors is tantamount to assigning partners to the Creator.
“Those whom they invoke besides Allah create nothing and are themselves created.†[16.20]
Allah points out that:
“Behold! Verily to Allah belong all creatures in the heavens and on earth…†[10.66]
Hajj gives us the opportunity to work out what creation means and understand the right of the Creator to be given credit as the Creator of each moment. To do this, we can follow the steps of Abraham. Abraham worked out who the Creator is and gave Him the rightful priority.
In addition, Allah points out our day-to-day conduct during Hajj:
“…If anyone undertakes that duty therein let there be no obscenity or wickedness nor wrangling in the Hajj. And whatever good you do (be sure) Allah knows it. And take a provision (with you) for the journey but the best of provisions is right conduct. So fear Me O you that are wise.!†[2.197]
Allah recommends best behavior during Hajj. Who are the people that one comes in contact with during Hajj? In an effort to please Allah, what can one do in relation to those around? The people that one comes in contact with are: Hajj operators, fellow pilgrims, elderly pilgrims, pilgrims trying to please Allah, shop keepers, people in the street. Would Allah be pleased if one went out of their way to help others, did not break queues, did not get annoyed when others break queues, helped others get food, helped the sick and needy, helping others understand and reflect about creation and the Creator, etc. In whatever manner one tries to be good and patient, Allah will take this into account.
One may then ask for both blessings in this world and the next.
“Say: "Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and defend us from the torment of the fire!"†[2.201]
If we fulfill the conditions laid above, Allah then promises:
2.202 “To these will be allotted what they have earned and Allah is quick in account.â€
To those who have pious intentions towards Allah and want to be grateful and please Him Allah guides: if such a one wishes to leave 2 days after Hajj is complete, one is free to do so. If one wishes to continue prayer and contemplation, again one is free to do so as one is inclined.
2.203 “Celebrate the praises of Allah during the Appointed Days but if anyone hastens to leave in two days there is no blame on him and if anyone stays on there is no blame on him if his aim is to do right. Then fear Allah and know that you will surely be gathered unto Him (on the Day of Judgment)â€.
ymislam:
In our daily lives we meet people of various natures. Of these, how many want the best that they can get? To get what they want, most pray earnestly to the Creator. Allah categorizes those who ask/pray for the best into two types:
“…There are men who pray: "Our Lord! Give us (thy bounties) in this world!"…†[2.200]
“And there are men who pray: "Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and defend us from the torment of the fire!"†[2.201]
What is the difference between these two types of attitudes? Both recognize that it is the Creator Who grants everything; however for the first type it is success and good only in the current world that matters. The second type recognizes that there is a purpose in the current world and that one’s intentions and actions will decide the fate in the next world or Hereafter. The second type therefore prays for good both in this world and the Hereafter as well as seeks protection from the punishment of the fire.
Do these attitudes spell different types of belief? For the first type of person belief goes as far as he/she can see, a dog-eat-dog world – such people would do anything or pray to anything to be successful or get what they want. To such people death, accountability or after life is unacceptable – everything perishes upon death. Allah gives an example of the nature of such a person:
“You will indeed find them, of all people most greedy of life – even more than the idolaters; each one of them wishes he could be given a life of a thousand years; but the grant of such life will not save him from (due) punishment for Allah sees well All that they do.†[2.96]
What is the attitude of such a person towards the current world and the things he/she enjoys? What is the attitude of such a person towards himself/herself? What picture does such a person paint of this world and their pursuits? What impression of the world does this person give to the people around him/her?
2.204 There is the type of man whose speech about this world's life may dazzle you and he calls Allah to witness about what is in his heart; yet is he the most contentious of enemies.
Whether or not a person prays, who [18.44] is it that grants success? Is it Allah’s right to be thanked for all that we enjoy? Instead of thanking Allah [7.10], each success adds to the feeling of greatness of such a person. The person then feels that Allah should see the goodness/ greatness in the heart of the person!
Can created beings afford to be arrogant? When a Formula One car wins a race, how much credit belongs to the driver, the car itself and the car manufacturer? If the car suddenly stands up and asks observers to witness how great it is, how should the manufacturer feel? If the car then demands appreciation from the manufacturer what would you think?
Similarly, what signal does a person send to the Creator when he/she wishes Him to see how great he/she is?
“…there is nothing in their hearts but (the quest of) greatness which they shall never attain to…†[40.56]
“Those who love the life of this world more than the Hereafter hinder (men) from the Path of Allah and seek therein something crooked: they are astray by a long distance.†[14.3]
How does one become a contentious enemy, i.e. by causing differing views in people? Instead of giving the Creator rightful credit, such a person falsely credits himself. What would observers or those around think? They may then falsely give undeserving credit to him as well and also learn to credit themselves instead of the Creator! Such a person has not only turned his own back on the Creator, he has become a cause for misleading others [16.88].
To make money such a person may go to any lengths. For example to create a market for selling of arms and ammunition, this person may help create conflict, i.e. engineer things or spread mischief to further the cause of making money. In this example, to divert others, the person may then take credit that he has created a deterrent by arming both sides equally [2.11 – 2.12]!
2.205 When he turns his back his aim everywhere is to spread mischief through the earth and destroy crops and cattle. But Allah loves not mischief.
How does one turn one’s back? To understand this, let us study a familiar example. Why does one normally trust and follow a manufacturer’s manual? Would it be logical and sensible to assume that the manufacturer knows better about the characteristics of the product than the user? If a person now recited the manual without understanding and then used the product as he/she personally ‘believed’ best, what would your reaction be? Would this person have turned his/her back on the manual? If the person believes he/she knows better, could this feeling be classified as arrogance? Similarly, if the Qur’an is the Creator’s Manual for Mankind (confirming previous Revelations), how does one turn his back [17.89]?
“"My Verses (‘Ayaat’) used to be rehearsed to you but you used to turn back on your heels in arrogance: talking nonsense about the (Qur'an) like one telling fables by night." Do they not ponder over the Word (of Allah) or has anything (new) come to them that did not come to their fathers of old?†[23.66 – 23.68]
2.206 When it is said to him "Fear Allah" he is led by arrogance to (more) crime. Enough for him is Hell; an evil bed indeed (to lie on)!
Allah now proceeds to talk about the other type of person. A type of person who uses the Qur’an as a manufacturer’s manual should be studied [2.121] and used.
“To the righteous (when) it is said, "What is it that your Lord has revealed?" they say "All that is good." To those who do good there is good in this world and the Home of the Hereafter is even better…†[16.30]
2.207 And there is the type of man who gives his life to earn the pleasure of Allah; and Allah is full of kindness to (His) devotees.
2.208 O you who believe! Enter into Islam whole-heartedly; and follow not the footsteps of the Evil One; for he is to you an avowed enemy.
BRE SALAM SONY:
HAJJ ALSO COMPLEATE SECTION IN ISLAM (FIVE SECTOR)
BUT HAJJ IS ONLY FOR RICH MAN WHO ABILITY TO GO HAJJ (MAKKAH).
BUT HAVE ANY WAY GET A FULL HAJJ SOUAB IN ANY POOR MAN?
I THINK THAT ALLAH CAN GIVE OUR CHANCE TO GET A KOBULIAT HAJJ SOUAB.
IN MORNING WE PRAY SALATOL ESHHAK (6 RAKAT)
Surah Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage)
1. O mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him! Verily, the earthquake of the Hour (of Judgement) is a terrible thing.
2. The Day you shall see it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling, and every pregnant one will drop her load, and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet they will not be drunken, but severe will be the Torment of Allâh.
3. And among mankind is he who disputes concerning Allâh, without knowledge, and follows every rebellious (disobedient to Allâh) Shaitân (devil) (devoid of each and every kind of good).
4. For him (the devil) it is decreed that whosoever follows him, he will mislead him, and will drive him to the torment of the Fire. [Tafsir At-Tabarî]
5. O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then verily! We have created you (i.e. Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge i.e. offspring of Adam), then from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood) then from a little lump of flesh, some formed and some unformed (miscarriage), that We may make (it) clear to you (i.e. to show you Our Power and Ability to do what We will). And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as infants, then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength. And among you there is he who dies (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth).
6. That is because Allâh, He is the Truth, and it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who is Able to do all things.
7. And surely, the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it, and certainly, Allâh will resurrect those who are in the graves.
8. And among men is he who disputes about Allâh, without knowledge or guidance, or a Book giving light (from Allâh),
9. Bending his neck in pride (far astray from the Path of Allâh), and leading (others) too (far) astray from the Path of Allâh. For him there is disgrace in this worldly life, and on the Day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the torment of burning (Fire).
10. That is because of what your hands have sent forth, and verily, Allâh is not unjust to (His) slaves.
11. And among mankind is he who worships Allâh as it were, upon the very edge (i.e. in doubt); if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts back to disbelief after embracing Islâm). He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss.
12. He calls besides Allâh unto that which hurts him not, nor profits him. That is a straying far away.
13. He calls unto him whose harm is nearer than his profit; certainly, and evil Maula (patron) and certainly an evil friend!
14. Truly, Allâh will admit those who believe (in Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds (according to the Qur'ân and the Sunnah) to Gardens underneath which rivers flow (in Paradise). Verily, Allâh does what He wills.
15. Whoever thinks that Allâh will not help him (Muhammad ) in this world and in the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and let him strangle himself. Then let him see whether his plan will remove that whereat he rages!
16. Thus have We sent it (this Qur'ân) down (to Muhammad ) as clear signs, evidences and proofs, and surely, Allâh guides whom He wills.
17. Verily, those who believe (in Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammad ), and those who are Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians, and the Magians, and those who worship others besides Allâh, truly, Allâh will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Verily! Allâh is Witness over all things.
18. See you not that to Allâh prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and Ad-Dawâb (moving living creatures, beasts, etc.), and many of mankind? But there are many (men) on whom the punishment is justified. And whomsoever Allâh disgraces, none can honour him. Verily! Allâh does what He wills.
19. These two opponents (believers and disbelievers) dispute with each other about their Lord; then as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling water will be poured down over their heads.
20. With it will melt or vanish away what is within their bellies, as well as (their) skins.
21. And for them are hooked rods of iron (to punish them).
22. Every time they seek to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be driven back therein, and (it will be) said to them: "Taste the torment of burning!"
23. Truly, Allâh will admit those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, to Gardens underneath which rivers flow (in Paradise), wherein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls and their garments therein will be of silk.
24. And they are guided (in this world) unto goodly speech (i.e. Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh, Alhamdu lillâh, recitation of the Qur'ân, etc.) and they are guided to the Path of Him (i.e. Allâh's Religion of Islâmic Monotheism), Who is Worthy of all praises.
25. Verily! Those who disbelieve and hinder (men) from the Path of Allâh, and from Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah) which We have made (open) to (all) men, the dweller in it and the visitor from the country are equal there [as regards its sanctity and pilgrimage (Hajj and 'Umrah)]. And whoever inclines to evil actions therein or to do wrong (i.e. practise polytheism and leave Islâmic Monotheism), him We shall cause to taste a painful torment.
26. And (remember) when We showed Ibrâhim (Abraham) the site of the (Sacred) House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) (saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me, [Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh Islâmic Monotheism], and sanctify My House for those who circumambulate it, and those who stand up for prayer, and those who bow (submit themselves with humility and obedience to Allâh), and make prostration (in prayer, etc.);"
27. And proclaim to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj).
28. That they may witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e. reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade, etc.), and mention the Name of Allâh on appointed days (i.e. 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th day of Dhul-Hijjâh), over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice) (at the time of their slaughtering by saying: Bismillah, Wallâhu-Akbar, Allâhumma Minka wa Ilaik). Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor who have a very hard time.
29. Then let them complete the prescribed duties (Manâsik of Hajj) for them, and perform their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House (the Ka'bah at Makkah).
30. That (Manâsik prescribed duties of Hajj is the obligation that mankind owes to Allâh), and whoever honours the sacred things of Allâh, then that is better for him with his Lord. The cattle are lawful to you, except those (that will be) mentioned to you (as exceptions). So shun the abomination (worshipping) of idol, and shun lying speech (false statements)
31. Hunafâ' Lillâh (i.e. to worship none but Allâh), not associating partners (in worship, etc.) unto Him and whoever assigns partners to Allâh, it is as if he had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had thrown him to a far off place.
32. Thus it is [what has been mentioned in the above said Verses (27, 28, 29, 30, 31) is an obligation that mankind owes to Allâh]. And whosoever honours the Symbols of Allâh, then it is truly from the piety of the heart.
33. In them (cattle offered for sacrifice) are benefits for you for an appointed term, and afterwards they are brought for sacrifice unto the ancient House (the Haram - sacred territory of Makkah city).
34. And for every nation We have appointed religious ceremonies, that they may mention the Name of Allâh over the beast of cattle that He has given them for food. And your Ilâh (God) is One Ilâh (God Allâh), so you must submit to Him Alone (in Islâm). And (O Muhammad ) give glad tidings to the Mukhbitin [those who obey Allâh with humility and are humble from among the true believers of Islâmic Monotheism],
35. Whose hearts are filled with fear when Allâh is mentioned; who patiently bear whatever may befall them (of calamities); and who perform AsÂSalât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and who spend (in Allâh's Cause) out of what We have provided them.
36. And the Budn (cows, oxen, or camels driven to be offered as sacrifices by the pilgrims at the sanctuary of Makkah.) We have made for you as among the Symbols of Allâh, therein you have much good. So mention the Name of Allâh over them when they are drawn up in lines (for sacrifice). Then, when they are down on their sides (after slaughter), eat thereof, and feed the beggar who does not ask (men), and the beggar who asks (men). Thus have We made them subject to you that you may be grateful.
37. It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allâh, but it is piety from you that reaches Him. Thus have We made them subject to you that you may magnify Allâh for His Guidance to you. And give glad tidings (O Muhammad ) to the Muhsinûn (doers of good).
38. Truly, Allâh defends those who believe. Verily! Allâh likes not any treacherous ingrate to Allâh [those who disobey Allâh but obey Shaitân (Satan)].
39. Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against disbelievers), who are fighting them, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely, Allâh is Able to give them (believers) victory
40. Those who have been expelled from their homes unjustly only because they said: "Our Lord is Allâh." - For had it not been that Allâh checks one set of people by means of another, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, wherein the Name of Allâh is mentioned much would surely have been pulled down. Verily, Allâh will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, Allâh is All-Strong, All-Mighty.
41. Those (Muslim rulers) who, if We give them power in the land, (they) order for Iqamat-as-Salât. [i.e. to perform the five compulsory congregational Salât (prayers) (the males in mosques)], to pay the Zakât and they enjoin Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm orders one to do), and forbid Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism and all that Islâm has forbidden) [i.e. they make the Qur'ân as the law of their country in all the spheres of life]. And with Allâh rests the end of (all) matters (of creatures).
42. And if they belie you (O Muhammad ), so were belied the Prophets before them, (by) the people of Nûh (Noah), 'Ad and Thamûd,
43. And the people of Ibrâhim (Abraham) and the people of Lout (Lot),
44. And the dwellers of Madyan (Midian); and belied was Mûsa (Moses), but I granted respite to the disbelievers for a while, then I seized them, and how (terrible) was My Punishment (against their wrong-doing).
45. And many a township have We destroyed while it was given to wrong-doing, so that it lies in ruins (up to this day), and (many) a deserted well and lofty castles!
46. Have they not travelled through the land, and have they hearts wherewith to understand and ears wherewith to hear? Verily, it is not the eyes that grow blind, but it is the hearts which are in the breasts that grow blind.
47. And they ask you to hasten on the torment! And Allâh fails not His Promise. And verily, a day with your Lord is as a thousand years of what you reckon.
48. And many a township did I give respite while it was given to wrong-doing. Then (in the end) I seized it (with punishment). And to Me is the (final) return (of all).
49. Say (O Muhammad ): "O mankind! I am (sent) to you only as a plain warner."
50. So those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, for them is forgiveness and Rizqûn Karîm (generous provision, i.e. Paradise).
51. But those who strive against Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), to frustrate and obstruct them, they will be dwellers of the Hell-fire.
52. Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you, but; when he did recite the revelation or narrated or spoke, Shaitân (Satan) threw (some falsehood) in it. But Allâh abolishes that which Shaitân (Satan) throws in. Then Allâh establishes His Revelations. And Allâh is All-Knower, All-Wise:
53. That He (Allâh) may make what is thrown in by Shaitân (Satan) a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy and disbelief) and whose hearts are hardened. And certainly, the Zalimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.) are in an opposition far-off (from the truth against Allâh's Messenger and the believers).
54. And that those who have been given knowledge may know that it (this Qur'ân) is the truth from your Lord, and that they may believe therein, and their hearts may submit to it with humility. And verily, Allâh is the Guide of those who believe, to the Straight Path.
55. And those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt about it (this Qur'ân) until the Hour comes suddenly upon them, or there comes to them the torment of the Day after which there will be no night (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).
56. The sovereignty on that Day will be that of Allâh (the one Who has no partners). He will judge between them. So those who believed (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds will be in Gardens of delight (Paradise).
57. And those who disbelieved and belied Our Verses (of this Qur'ân), for them will be a humiliating torment (in Hell).
58. Those who emigrated in the Cause of Allâh and after that were killed or died, surely, Allâh will provide a good provision for them. And verily, it is Allâh Who indeed is the Best of those who make provision.
59. Truly, He will make them enter an entrance with which they shall be well-pleased, and verily, Allâh indeed is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
60. That is so. And whoever has retaliated with the like of that which he was made to suffer, and then has again been wronged, Allâh will surely help him. Verily! Allâh indeed is Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.
61. That is because Allâh merges the night into the day, and He merges the day into the night. And verily, Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Seer.
62. That is because Allâh He is the Truth (the only True God of all that exists, Who has no partners or rivals with Him), and what they (the polytheists) invoke besides Him, it is Bâtil (falsehood) And verily, Allâh He is the Most High, the Most Great.
63. See you not that Allâh sends down water (rain) from the sky, and then the earth becomes green? Verily, Allâh is the Most Kind and Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all things.
64. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth. And verily, Allâh He is Rich (Free of all wants), Worthy of all praise.
65. See you not that Allâh has subjected to you (mankind) all that is on the earth, and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command? He withholds the heaven from falling on the earth except by His Leave. Verily, Allâh is, for mankind, full of Kindness, Most Merciful.
66. It is He, Who gave you life, and then will cause you to die, and will again give you life (on the Day of Resurrection). Verily! Man is indeed an ingrate.
67. For every nation We have ordained religious ceremonies [e.g. slaughtering of the beast of cattle during the three days of stay at Mîna (Makkah) during the Hajj (pilgrimage)] which they must follow; so let them (pagans) not dispute with you on the matter (i.e. to eat of the cattle which you slaughter, and not to eat of cattle which Allâh kills by its natural death), but invite them to your Lord. Verily! You (O Muhammad ) indeed are on the (true) straight guidance. (i.e. the true religion of Islâmic Monotheism).
68. And if they argue with you (as regards the slaughtering of the sacrifices), say; "Allâh knows best of what you do.
69. "Allâh will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein you used to differ."
70. Know you not that Allâh knows all that is in heaven and on earth? Verily, it is (all) in the Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz). Verily! That is easy for Allâh.
71. And they worship besides Allâh others for which He has sent down no authority, and of which they have no knowledge and for the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) there is no helper.
72. And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, you will notice a denial on the faces of the disbelievers! They are nearly ready to attack with violence those who recite Our Verses to them. Say: "Shall I tell you of something worse than that? The Fire (of Hell) which Allâh has promised to those who disbelieve, and worst indeed is that destination!"
73. O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily! Those on whom you call besides Allâh, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatched away a thing from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought.
74. They have not estimated Allâh His Rightful Estimate; Verily, Allâh is All-Strong, All-Mighty.
75. Allâh chooses Messengers from angels and from men. Verily, Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Seer.
76. He knows what is before them, and what is behind them. And to Allâh return all matters (for decision).
77. O you who believe! Bow down, and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord and do good that you may be successful.
78. And strive hard in Allâh's Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islâmic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islâm), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship, it is the religion of your father Ibrahim (Abraham) (Islâmic Monotheism). It is He (Allâh) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Qur'ân), that the Messenger (Muhammad ) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind! So perform AsÂSalât (Iqamat-as-Salât), give Zakât and hold fast to Allâh [i.e. have confidence in Allâh, and depend upon Him in all your affairs] He is your Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.), what an Excellent Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.) and what an Excellent Helper!
