Has there not come to you the news of those who disbelieved before? So they tasted the bad consequence of their affair, and they will have a painful punishment.

Sahih International
Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.This Surah is Madni, after the state of Madinah was established. Some of the people of Madinah did not realize the challenges they would face after becoming Muslim. The makkans had been through A LOT after accepting Islam so they fully knew the value of Islam. But new muslims had a different perspective of Islam.
Its just like people who were born into Islam and who converted to Islam, they have different perspectives of Islam.
These Surahs were revaled to refresh the faith of Muslims and remind them of their true purpose.
Everything in the world and every atom declares Allahs perfection. Evem the subatomic particles are doing Tawaf. Everything is doing their own form of tasbeeh. It is a reminder for US to do tasbeeh, looking at the creation should remind us to do Tasbeeh.
There is a comparison between us and the dunya. According to Allah we are the best creation, yet the Universe is constantly doing what Allah asked it to do. But we the perfect ones are the only creature not doing what Allah asked from us.All of the creation and WE most importantly are Allahs craft. We need to appreciate the way Allah made us. Allah is PROUD of the way he made us. But the world teaches us to be unhappy with our appearance.Allah teaches us to be HAPPY with ourselves.
Allah compares the Universe with US repeatedly. Why? All the creation who is LESS amazing than you does all these things, Why dont you do it who is the most perfect of all creation?
Allah knows EVERYTHING in the heavens and the Earth. NOTHING escapes Him. Dont think you can hide things from Allah.
Why to praise Allah and accept Him? Because Messengers came with clear proofs about Allah. Humans cannot stand authority and they dont like the fact that the Messenger came from among them. They dont like to listen to other people like themselves. But dont forget, the Prophet SAWW may be a human being but he speaks on behalf of Allah! It is easy for us to belief in the Prophet SAWW because for us, his sunnah and his life is preserved as a consitution. But for people in that time it was really difficult to believe because for 40 years, he led a NORMAL life and was just a regular human being. And then he suddenly claimed to be a Prophet. His friends and family could not believe it or accept it or obey him blindly. Imagine if your friend or nephew or husband etc claim to be a Prophet, wont it be difficult to accept? They had to change the way they looked at him, and accept and obey him as the MESSENGER of Allah.Allah says here that turning away from Prophets means turning away from Allah. If you turn away from the Prophets, Allah says He does NOT need you. This Surah is about having the right attitudes.
The fact that I have a Master, is proof that I will be raised. Just like in this world if our master asks us to do something it necessarily means that a time will come when he will ask us if we finished our work.
Believe in the light we sent down, the light of Quran and the light within us (Its Anzalnaa, not Anzalnaahu, so its tawassau fil maani and not just limited to light of Quran). So its light upon light.
Day of gathering- Tagaabun( when people will find what winning means and what losing means, and Tagaabun means losing and winning go hand in hand, So we are supposed to help one another. Even Firaun was a means for Musa AS to gain Jannah). For us everything is supposed to be an opportunity. Good and bad people both are opportunities for us.
Saua means a corpse, so bad deeds are like a corpse with a stench. And Allah will bury that away from us if we obey Him.
The disbeliever says Why do bad things happen.
Museeba=the arrow that hit bulls eye(hit exactly its target).Allah describes museebat as something that is absolutely meant to happen. It was never meant to miss you. Allah never misses his target. Everything that happens to us is supposed to happen to us. Muslims are never supposed to say, I wish that never happened. And whoever truly believes Allah, Allah will guide His heart. He will be at ease and heart will be at rest no matter what the situation. We will only be rattled temporarily. We will be FINE. Allah lets us move on.
e.g. theres a story of one my teachers. They had only one son and he was graduating and while he was coming back for graduation, his son had an accident and died. And the mother and father were at home waiting for Him and had invited guests over and then they received this news and were shattered. For few months, they could not speak to each other normally. our faith was rattled.Allah gave us this beautiful toy and let us play with it 18 years and then He took it back as it was his, and now we are complaining. We should be grateful that Allah gave us this beautiful toy.
Thats the attitude of the believer. Because of Allah, they will be able to bear anything.
The Prophet SAWW used to get sad when people did not accept faith. So Allah tells him your job is only to convey the message. Now its their responsbility to act.True believers should only and only trust Allah. They should not question Allah but trust Him.
From within your spouses and children, there may be enemies. Something within your wives and children can become an enemy for you. So far Allah has talked about believing Him and trusting and obeying Him. If our wives and children take us away from this, they become enemies. e.g. A family lives in an apartment and the father earns decent money, If his wife and children and inlaws etc force him to get them a house although he cannot afford it. What will he need to do? He will take loan and interest. Now his family is an enemy for him. He builds a house here but he loses a house in Jannah. This animosity will not be apparent in this world but will actually show on Day of Judgement when you will blame them for leading you to the wrong path. On judgement day, we will be more selfish than anything we can imagine. If you dont give in and stand up for whats right, they will thank you in the Hereafter. Even if your family says terrible things to you in return, cover for them and forgive them.
Both money and children are a fitna. A person relies on both for the future, they are the retirement plan. Allah says watch out, they are a fitna for us.We think our money and children will help us in future years. But Allah is teaching us that we need to take care of our eternal years. So we need to invest our money for Jannah and we need to raise our children such that they become a Sadaqah Jariyah for us.Kids will only give us what we give them. We will be humiliated because of our children on Day of Judgement if we did not raise them properly.
Then Allah says just do as much as you can. Just give your best. Just like when we are given an assignment and we do a half baked effort because you were too lazy, our teacher who cares about us says Is is the best you can do, because I know you can do much more? Allah knows us better than we know ourselves. We cant fool Allah into thinking we did our best.
Spend not just out of your money but also out of your time, your talents, your energies.
Shuh means the disease of greed and want inside ourselves. That urge that keeps us way from good deeds. Inability to control urges.
Lend Allah a loan, give Him your youth, your time,your life, your money, and Allah will multiply it unimaginable for you.And I will cover for you your faults. And Allah is extremely appreciative of your effortss. Haleem means someone who knows what you are going through and sympathises..
