Ayə: 1

طسٓمٓ

1. Ta Seen Meem¹.

1. The Qur’an is made up of such letters from the Arabic alphabet. The Arabs at the time of revelation were the unmatched masters of the Arabic language and yet when challenged were totally unable to bring anything like the Qur’an. Although these disjointed Arabic letters are referring to the inimitable nature of the Qur’an and its divine source, God knows best its meaning.

Ayə: 5

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ

33. Then he drew out his hand, and at once it was shining white to the beholders.

Ayə: 38

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

38. So the magicians were assembled together at appointed time on a known day,

Ayə: 39

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ

39. It was told to the people: "Will you also join the assembly?

Ayə: 40

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

40. That we may follow the magicians, if they are the winners."

Ayə: 41

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

41. So when the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh: "Will there be any reward for us if we are the winners?"

Ayə: 42

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

42. He said: "Yes, and you will then certainly be of those near (to me)."

Ayə: 43

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ

43. Moses said to them: "Cast what you are going to cast."

Ayə: 44

فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِيَّهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ

49. (Pharaoh) said: "How dare you believe in him before I give you permission. He 'Moses' is certainly your chief who taught you the magic, so you shall soon come to know: I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."

Ayə: 50

قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

50. They said: "No harm 'we do not care'; for we will surely return to 'Allāh, our Lord;

Ayə: 51

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

51. We really hope that (Allāh) our Lord will forgive us our sins - as we are the first to believe."

Ayə: 52

۞ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

52. And we inspired to Moses, 'saying': "Travel by night with My servants, for you will surely be pursued."

Ayə: 53

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

53. So Pharaoh sent callers to all the cities;

Ayə: 54

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ

54. 'bidding them to call out his troops and to proclaim': these 'Israelites' are a small band;

Ayə: 55

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

55. And indeed, They are enraging us;

Ayə: 56

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

56. But we are all on the alert."

Ayə: 57

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

57. So We drove them out of 'their' gardens and springs,

Ayə: 58

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

Ayə: 63

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

63. We inspired to Moses: "Strike the sea with your staff." So it parted, each part was like a huge, firm mass of mountain.

Ayə: 64

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Ayə: 65

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Ayə: 71

قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ

71. They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted."

Ayə: 73

أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ

73. Or do they benefit you or can cause you harm?"

Ayə: 76

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

Ayə: 77

Ayə: 79

وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ يُطۡعِمُنِي وَيَسۡقِينِ

Ayə: 80

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ يَشۡفِينِ

80. When I get sick, He (Allāh) heals me³.

3. These are the words of the prophet Abraham, being conscious of his own impotency to cure and heal himself; and being fully satisfied of the power of Allāh to cure and heal him. Sins are also diseases, and healing them lies in the forgiveness of them, which Allāh only can grant. The famous story of the boy and the king recorded in the Sunnah, when the king’s courtier asks the boy to cure his blindness, the boy retorts: “Verily, I cure no one. Only Allāh 'Exalted is He' Who cures. If you believe in Allāh, I will supplicate to Allāh and He will cure you.”
Hence, while the supplication was a means of curing the blindness, the real doer was Allāh alone. By making this known to the courtier, the boy instilled in him the reality of Monotheism. However, this does not mean the action (in this case, healing) cannot be ascribed to the means (in this case, the boy or his supplication). It is correct to make this ascription, as long as the belief that the effort is not the real cause is firmly understood. Jesus also cured the blind and the leprosy and raised from the dead all by Allah's permission and not from Himself. Jesus is nothing without the help of his God and Lord, Allāh.

Ayə: 81

وَٱلَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحۡيِينِ

81. It is He 'Allāh' Who will cause me to die4, and then bring me back to life again;

4 . The prophet Muhammad said, “One who accompanies the funeral of a Muslim with faith and hope of earning reward, and remains with it until the burial is complete, shall return (home) with two qirat (great) rewards. Each reward is equal to Mount Uhud, and the person who performs the funeral prayer only, and returns before the burial, will return with one qirat (great) reward”.

Ayə: 82

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

82. It is He 'Allāh' Whom I hope to forgive my flaws on the Day of Recompense.

Ayə: 83

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي حُكۡمٗا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِي بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

83. Lord 'Allāh', grant me sound judgment, and join me with the righteous.

Ayə: 84

وَٱجۡعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدۡقٖ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

84. Give me a good reputation of truth among later generations.

Ayə: 85

وَٱجۡعَلۡنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Ayə: 89

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٖ

89. Except him who comes to Allāh with a sound 'pure' heart5.

5. Free from pride, haughtiness and hypocrisy. Our hearts can shape our lives and relationships. A corrupt heart brings trouble and suffering, while a cheerful heart is good medicine. We are warned against the damage caused by being spiteful, seeking revenge, vindictive or willfully stubborn, quarreling, lying, stealing and unjust behavior. Contrarily, loyal and protective relationships are lifted up.

Ayə: 90

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ

Ayə: 94

فَكُبۡكِبُواْ فِيهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

94. So they will be thrown down into it 'fire', they (the idols) and the straying ones,

Ayə: 95

وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِيسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ

95. And the soldiers of Iblees (Satan), all together.

Ayə: 96

قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ

Ayə: 97

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ

8. During Noah's time we see everyone has turned their back on Allāh, except Noah; he worshipped and loved Allāh. Perhaps his amazing obedience was found in his heart of gratitude and what saved and set him and his family apart from those who were wiped out in the great flood. Allāh described him as grateful servant. The Qur’an tells us the people of this time were full of evil and sin, that is why Allāh sent the flood. If the opposite of joyful is sad and the opposite of commitment is refusal, could it be that the people of Noah’s time sadly refused their commitment to Allāh. The root of all sin is ingratitude; it certainly seems to be a great place for the Satan to get a foothold as he did in every person but Noah during this time.
Abraham, the father of faith and many generations, was one whose heart of gratitude almost cost him the life of his beloved son, but Allāh spared Ismael. His commitment to Allāh was greater than any other thing, even his own son. Allāh sparing Ismael shows us how He blessed Abraham’s obedience. Even when he questioned, even when he sought assurance, obedience flowed from Abraham’s heart of gratitude.
We find Moses and the Israelites singing a song of deliverance and praise after Allāh led the Israelites out of Egypt and saved them by parting the Red Sea.
