Al-Hijr

Ayah: 1

الٓرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَقُرۡءَانٖ مُّبِينٖ

1. Alif Laam Ra¹. These are the Verses of the Book and a clear Recitation ².

1. See footnote to Qur’an chapter2: Verse1.
2. Both the Book and the Recitation mentioned here refer to one and the same thing, the Qur’an itself; the Book that was to be and then the present recited Verses. Its double mention, as given here, is meant to draw special attention to the evidences it provides to the Truthfulness of the Message.

Ayah: 2

رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ كَانُواْ مُسۡلِمِينَ

Ayah: 3

ذَرۡهُمۡ يَأۡكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلۡهِهِمُ ٱلۡأَمَلُۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

3. Leave them to eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by (vain) hope⁴; for they will soon know (the Truth)⁵.

4. Vain hope of a long life, accomplishment of one’s aspirations, a peaceful life, a fortunate turn of events, etc., that makes one distracted from the real purpose of life and heedless to the Truth of Islam.

5. That there is no deity except Allāh and that Muḥammad is the messenger of God.

Ayah: 4

Ayah: 8

13. They do not believe in it (this Qur’an), and indeed the example of the (destroyed) former (unbelievers) has already passed.

Ayah: 14

17. Following the Qur’an and the Sunnah 'teachings of Prophet Muhammad', to the very end of our lives is the right way for everyone to close the final chapter of his life's book and finishing well. Good end and gracefully living with life's changes testifies to the reality of Islam, our true faith. It leaves for those who remain a legacy of inspiring memories of worshipping Allāh alone without associating any partners with Him in worship and taking as living example His last and final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad.
