Samira,
You should put your life together, it is not worth wasting your THIS life like this. Don’t waste THIS life in dream of the AFTER life.
Are you really willing to marry him if he does not asks you to convert to Hinduism? Or, like most Muslims, one day you were going to ask him to convert to Islam any ways? Can a rose remain rose and carnation be carnation?
Dear samaira,
Dont be sad, In Sha Allah Every thing be gonna be alright. .okay 🙂 one day will come for you to make happy in ur life. .you had to think all this before you love. . .One thing Remember Man can easily forget al those things after brokeup but women cant. . . . .you must want to fight all those things with urself. . .Every body faces some problems. ,as this is human Nature. . .
Dont worry, he will be come back. . .
@Samira: ISLAM makes your Life Hell. Leave ISLAM, Live life Happily. Still have a Time, Leave ISLAM.

“Can a rose remain rose and carnation be carnation?” admin your this comment is illogical, i m not stretching much but of your logic is true then Mohamamd Ali is still a christian by your logic, isn`t it
Intentionally date a Hindu (or non-Muslim) with a clear intention of converting is wrong.
Akansha was forced converted to Nusrat, this is sin. Let Akansha be Akansha. If a Muslim cannot tolerate Akansha, why not to find a Nusrat from Muslim community. In Akansha’s mind, it is only FAKE-conversion. For now, Akansha is still young and putting up with all crap of Islam now, but one day she is going to realize that eneough is enough, no more this shit (imposed religion).
This is what we mean, let the rose be rose and carnation be carnation.
admin, i agree with you
We don’t have any problem if mac wishes to believe in the J-Day, Gandhi wishes to pray to Krishna or Teresa to Jesus, as far as they are going their good karma on this earth and do not hate each other. However, these youths posing as a secular and pluralist to start and later bring out their exclusivity is wrong. This trapping an innocent is immoral.
Karma is important but believing in oneness of god is also important as per all religious beliefs
Satans fear after life coz he/she wants to do bad works in this world so he/she hopes that there is no life after death.
let him follow hindu…you follow urs…..console him..love can do anything,…so u cann do it.
how can she follow islam with a mushrik
Samira i have a question why thought of going against Islam came in your mind if you read quran and understand it you will find that one thing in quran is contrary to the other when scientific analysis was made it was found that koran is scientifically incorrect and you may be knowing that the modern religion of today world is science which itself means truth instead of following a garbage book of koran follow science as it is always open to everyone and open for criticism and changes while if you question koran possibility is that you will be punished by sharia.
Hello Mr. kaffir, plz use a better name, any way you advised her to follow science but the truth is that your science is too behind qu`ran, need proof???
MIRACLE OF HOLY QURAN
Sea is mentioned 32 times in Qu`ran Land is mentioned 13 times in Qu`ran
Sea(32) + Land(13) = 45
if so sea = 32/45 x 100= 71.111 %
Land = 13/45 x 100 = 28.889 %
Sea + Land = 100 %
Modern science has recently proven that water covers 71.111% of earth, while the land
covers 28.889% ….Allahu Akbar
Why Pork is Haram in Islam ~ 15
Things You
Should Know About Pigs:
1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It
will eat
anything including urine,
excrement, dirt,
decaying animal flesh, maggots, or
decaying
vegetables. They will even eat the
cancerous
growths off other pigs or animals.
2) The meat and fat of a pig
absorbs toxins like
a sponge. Their meat can be 30
times more toxic
than beef or venison.
3) When eating beef or venison, it
takes 8 to 9
hours to digest the meat so what
little toxins are
in the meat are slowly put into
our system and
can be filtered by the liver. But
when pork is
eaten, it takes only 4 hours to
digest the meat.
We thus get a much higher level
of toxins within
a shorter time.
4) Unlike other mammals, a pig
does not sweat
or perspire. Perspiration is a
means by which
toxins are removed from the
body. Since a pig
does not sweat, the toxins remain
within its
body and in the meat.
5) Pigs and swine are so
poisonous that you can
hardly kill them with strychnine or
other
poisons.
6) Farmers will often pen up pigs
within a
rattlesnake nest because the pigs
will eat the
snakes, and if bitten they will not
be harmed by
the venom.
7) When a pig is butchered,
worms and insects
take to its flesh sooner and faster
than to other
animal’s flesh. In a few days the
swine flesh is
full of worms.
Swine and pigs have over a dozen
parasites
within them, such as tapeworms,
flukes, worms,
and trichinae. There is no safe
temperature at
which pork can be cooked to
ensure that all
these parasites, their cysts, and
eggs will be
killed.
9) Pig meat has twice as much fat
as beef. A 3
oz T bone steak contains 8.5
grams of fat; a 3
oz pork chop contains 18 grams
of fat. A 3 oz
beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3
oz pork
spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat.
10) Cows have a complex
digestive system,
having four stomachs. It thus
takes over 24
hours to digest their vegetarian
diet causing its
food to be purified of toxins. In
contrast, the
swine’s one stomach takes only
about 4 hours to
digest its foul diet, turning its
toxic food into
flesh.
11) The swine carries about 30
diseases which
can be easily passed to humans.
This is why God
commanded that we are not even
to touch their
carcase (Leviticus 11:8).
12) The trichinae worm of the
swine is
microscopically small, and once
ingested can
lodge itself in our intestines,
muscles, spinal
cord or the brain. This results in
the disease
trichinosis. The symptoms are
sometimes
lacking, but when present they
are mistaken for
other diseases, such as typhoid,
arthritis,
rheumatism, gastritis, MS,
meningitis, gall
bladder trouble, or acute
alcoholism.
13) The pig is so poisonous and
filthy, that
nature had to prepare him a
sewer line or canal
running down each leg with an
outlet in the
bottom of the foot. Out of this
hole oozes pus
and filth his body cannot pass
into its system
fast enough. Some of this pus
gets into the meat
of the pig.
14) According to Jewish law, pork
is one of a
number of foods forbidden from
consumption
by Jews. These foods are known
as “non-kosher”
foods. In order for a meat to be
kosher, it must
first come from a kosher animal. A
kosher
animal must be a ruminant and
have split
hooves – therefore cows, sheep,
goats and deer
are all kosher, whereas camels and
pigs (having
each only one sign of kashrut) are
not kosher.
15) Quran, Holy book of Muslims
also prohibits
consumption of pork.
“He has made unlawful for you
that which dies
of itself and blood and the flesh
of swine and
that on which the name of any
other than Allah
has been invoked. But he who is
driven by
necessity, being neither
disobedient nor
exceeding the limit, then surely,
Allah is Most
Forgiving, Merciful.” Quran 2:173
I cannot understand why anyone
would eat it.
You might as well vacuum all day
and then take
the vacuum bag and make a nice
soup out of it.
” Of course our Creator has given
us the health
laws through the Holy Quran and
not eating pigs
is even CLEARLY mentioned in the
Bible
(Leviticus 11:07)
But some humans think they are
more intelligent
than the Creator so they choose
The Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt said the declaration would give “wives full rights to file legal complaints against husbands accusing them of rape or sexual harassment, obliging competent authorities to deal husbands punishments similar to those prescribed for raping or sexually harassing a stranger, give girls sexual freedom, legalize abortion, provide teenagers with contraceptives, give equality to women in marriage and require men and women to share duties such as child care and chores , equal rights to homosexuals, and provide protection and respect for prostitutes” and “equal rights to adulterous wives and illegitimate sons resulting from adulterous relationships.”
The Muslim Brotherhood should be worried. Equal rights for women would not destroy society but Islam.

That data correlates quite well with the equality of women in those countries.
The United States and all democratic societies have achieved their prosperity by granting women equal rights. It was the Second World War that lead to the economic transformation of women. While men from the USA, Canada and Britain marched to war by the millions, women left their homes and marched by the millions into the factories to become machinists, welders, electricians, carpenters, millwrights, plumbers, truck drivers etc. They labored on machines, toiled with wrenches and hammers, saws and screw drivers to manufacture planes and tanks, ships and guns. Without women the victory of democracy over Nazism and the Japanese Empire would have been impossible.
Today women occupy high positions in all professions.
Today it is illegal for a husband to have sex with his wife against her will. Spousal rape is rape. “No means No” is a legal right for women.
Today wife-beating is a crime.
The new draft of Egypt’s post-revolution of the constitution article 36 concerning women’s right and freedoms contains an additive which discloses that “men and women are equal, so long as this equality does not violateIslamic laws.”
Lawyer Sobhi Saleh, Muslim Brotherhood figure and member of the Constituent Assembly in charge of drafting Egypt’s post-revolution constitution stated “Whoever objects to this bit will be objecting to the Islamic faithand wreaking havoc unnecessarily. Those who protest have to know that there is no absolute equality between men and women inIslam and inheritance is an example”.
In Islam, a married woman is the property of her husband. He is permitted to use violence to control his wife. Wife beating is divinely sanctioned by Allah in the Koran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad.
Quran 4:34 Men (Muslims) are in charge of women (Muslimah), therefore Allah has made the Muslim (men) to excel the Muslim (women), and because Muslim (men) spend of their property, so good women (Muslimah) are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah has guarded. As for those women (Muslimah/wives) from whom you fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and beat them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them…
Other translations render the phrase “beat them” as:
Ahamed: “beat them (lightly at the very last)”
al-Bayt Institute: “and strike them”
Arberry: “and beat them”
Asad: “then beat them”
Daryabadi: “and beat them“
Dawood: “and beat them”
Haleem: “then hit them”
Hilali/Khan: “(and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful)”
Irving: “and (even) beat them”
Kanz ul-Eeman: “beat them (lightly)”
Khalifa: “then you may (as a last alternative) beat them”
Malik: (and then if necessary) beat them”
Noorudin/Omar: “punish them (mildly)”
Pickthall: “and scourge them”
Rodwell: “and scourge them”
Saheeh int’l: “(and finally) strike them”
Sale: “and chastise them”
Shakir: “and beat them”
Sher Ali: “and chastise them”
Stephens/Darwish: “and smack them(without harshness)”
Yusuf Ali: “(And last) beat them (lightly)”
Note: words in parentheses () are the translators’ interpolation into the text. Those words do not exist in the Arabic text of the Koran.
Four reasons that sanction men beating their wives:
· if she refuses to beautify herself for him.
· if she refuses sex when he asks for it.
· if she refuses to pray or perform ritual ablutions.
· if she goes out of the house without a valid reason.
Also, Muhammad’s example is normative for Muslims, since he is an “excellent example of conduct” (Quran 33:21) – and Aisha reports that Muhammad struck her. Once he went out at night after he thought she was asleep, and she followed him surreptitiously. Muhammad saw her, and, as Aisha recounts: “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” (Sahih Muslim 2127)
Aisha herself said it: “I have not seen any woman suffering as much [from beatings] as the believing women.” (Sahih Bukhari 7.72.715)
Sharia Law mandates the oppression and subjugation of women:
Wife beating “[A husband] may hit her, but not in a way that injures her, meaning he may not break bones, wound her, or cause blood to flow.” (Reliance of the Traveler, Section m10.12)
Honor killing – “The following are not subject to retaliation: a father or mother for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring. (ibid Section o1.2(4))
Women over the age of puberty are not permitted to leave the house without covering the body (except face and hands). Fatwa 667, Part No. 17, Page 142-150
Women are not permitted to travel without a spouse or male relative. Fatwa 12139, Part No. 11, Page 38
Women are not permitted to be alone with men who are not relatives or spouses, and the punishment for such “indecency” is whipping or stoning. Fatwa 9693, Part No. 12, Page 381 & 382
Women are not permitted to speak softly to a man or otherwise provoke his desire with letters, phone calls or glances, the punishment of which is whipping or stoning. Fatwa 9693, Part No. 12, Page 381 & 382
Nearly half Saudi and Egyptian women are beaten up by their husbands or other family members.
To give Muslim women equal rights would be to deny the validity that Quran 4:34 and thus imply that Q.4:34 and other teachings are not from Allah but were fabricated by Muhammad. The imprisonment of Muslim women – their subjugation and oppression and denial of their humanity and equality – is based on the evil lie of the “divinity” of the Quran.
We must fight for the right of all Muslim women to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. To prevent the enslavement of women, Sharia Law must be exposed and stopped. All anti-woman teachings of the Quran and Hadith must be condemned and rejected. The rights of women must be enforced and protected through the Rule of Law and a Constitutional Amendment: Universal Declaration of the Total Equality of Womenhttp://www.islamreform.net/new-page-64.htm
Abida , my first advice to you is that you educate yourself enough so that you can improve your copy paste skill, any way this how pasted

my question is why you are taking out individual sayings and that too by short hadning “and beat them” what was there before “and” that you left out
Mac,
Allah is not a God of peace and love but the Anti God of war, death and destruction. Allah is anti – peace. For Allah to be God, the supreme creator of the universe, Allah must attain the highest moral perfection. Allah should be all for pure love, mercy, peace and goodness to all his creatures. God must hold all his/her creatures to equal esteem. He cannot be an immoral, irrational, violent, evil being. If any teachings of the Quran fail to stand this ethical standard, its author, Allah, cannot be the God.
Belief in a religion does not make you a superior human being or give you any special privileges over other humans. God never gives you right to enslave, discriminate against, kill, terrorize, rape and loot the people of other faith or the faithless. Such teachings cannot be from God. Preaching violence against other human beings, committing acts of extermination, genocide, murder, hate, violence, terror, brutality against people of different beliefs in the name, and for the greater glory, of God is unacceptable to an omnipotent God.
QURAN IS – NO HOLY BOOK OF GOD
To Muslims, the Quran is a divine law-book for all times. Muslims cannot question or doubt the allegedly uncreated words of God contained in their Quran. Quranic teachings, the words of Allah, are immutable and stand valid for all times. Therefore, all teachings of the Quran must be followed by Muslims until the end of the world. The Quran is filled with thousands of immoral words/teachings and therefore is no holy book of God.
Helo admin. This is my real and true phenomena (whether someone believe it or not). I was a pious muslim girl (remember, “was” is for pious not for muslim, mean i am still muslim alhamdulillah, but not pious anymore). I am from pakistan. my age is 23 (single), name is zarya. Almost 2 years back, i was a house caged and innocent girl. i did not even know any thing about sex and relations cause our family is very conservative and religious one. we (me and other sisters) were not even allowed to go infront of cousins etc or talk to them or any other stranger (ghair mehram). We are not allowed to go infront of our father or brothers without headscarf at home. one day, while searching websites, i accidentally, found a blog about hindu-muslim relations where i read comments of many muslim girls about hindu boys, their attitude, decency, moralities and their loving and caring behaviour with women. slowly i felt attracted towards hindu boys. i left my id their with an invitation to hindu boys for friendship. in no time, many boys started chatting with me. i felt real love for them due to their caring and loving behaviour. In this way, after chatting on net, i used to develop feeling for real relation with some hindu guy. now i am in relationship with many hindu guys. i feel and know that it is sin because i am a muslim girl. but i cant avoid this. i am in great trouble. dont know what to do. please help me
Reply at http://www.interfaithshaadi.org/?p=8564
Zarya,
As you have learned it at home, there is a clear double standard in Islam. You have to face all restrictions at home while your brothers don’t have to. After marriage, the Muslim husband could dream of having 3 additional wives, could lightly beat you and give you talaak, talaak, talaak.
However, you have to decide first if you are a Muslim at all or not. If yes, you will always be worrying about the Judgment Day and Muhammad’s teachings. As per Islam, you cannot marry a Hindu. Your parents will not support you. Even after marriage to a Hindu, you will have lots of difficulty settling since you will want your daughter to be raised in restrictions. For all these reasons, if you are a Muslim, find a Muslim boy. We hope he is open minded and one who respects you. Best wishes.
Mac ,
U are a foolish person one hand u say there are good man and bad man other I say all hindus are Rss trainers …not every one is a Rss member in India, after all its up what do u do with ur life..or not..

Massey and Gulnar are same person under different names.
If qu`ran was so against jews and christians then why majority of jews and christians accepted islam like palestine,iraq,jordan,turkey,egypt,lebanon,libya,syria(oldest church was made there)
Read this who were who, and there are many verses which talks good abt jews
http://nelc.uchicago.edu/faculty/donner
Because in face of persecution they have no option left to become muslim. Whole world know muslims give only two option to non-muslim koran or death
Aarfah, ppl like you have passed your regime, now you cannot just copy paste and make innocnet muslims fool. lets see what you copy pasted and how you distorted their meaning, and show me from kuran where it permises sex between thighs, stop lieing
Chapter 65. Al Talaq (Divorce)
In the name of Allah , Most
Gracious ,Most Merciful .
1. O Prophet!(5503) When ye do divorce women,(5504)
divorce them at their prescribed periods,(5505) and
count (accurately), their prescribed periods: And fear
Allah your Lord:(5506) and turn them not out of their
houses, nor shall they (themselves) leave,(5507)
except in case they are guilty of some open lewdness,
those are limits set by Allah. and any who
transgresses the limits of Allah, does verily wrong his
(own) soul: thou knowest not if perchance Allah will
bring about thereafter some new situation.(5508)
Transaltion:- 5503 Note that in the first instance the Prophet is himself addressed individually,
as the Teacher and representative of the Community. Then the actual directions:
“when ye . . .”: are addressed to the Community collectively.
5504 “Of all things permitted by law, Divorce is the most hateful in the sight of
Allah”: see Introduction to this Surah. The general directions and limitations of
Divorce may be studied in 2:228-232, 236-237, 241, and notes; also 4:35.
5505 ‘Iddah, as a technical term in divorce law, is explained in n. 254 to 2:228. Its
general meaning is “a prescribed period”: in that general sense it is used in 2:185
for a prescribed period of fasting.
5506 The prescribed period (see last note) is in the interests of the wife, of the
husband, of an unborn child (if there is any), and of sex laws in nature, and
therefore the elementary dictates of refined human society. In English Law the six
months interval between the decree nisi and the decree absolute in divorce attains
the same purpose in a round-about way. The Commentators suggest that the
divorce should not be pronounced during the courses. Read with 2:222, this implies that any incipient differences between husband and wife should not be
forced to an issue at a time when sex is least attractive and almost repulsive.
Everything should be done to strengthen the social and spiritual aspects of
marriage and keep down stray impulses of animal instinct. The parties are to think
seriously in a mood of piety, keeping the fear of Allah in their minds.
5507 As Islam treats the married woman as a full juristic personality in every sense
of the term, a married woman has a right, in the married state, to a house or
apartment of her own. And a house or apartment implies the reasonable expenses
for its upkeep and for her own and her children’s maintenance. And this is
obligatory not only in the married state, but during the ‘ iddah, which is necessarily
a most trying period for the woman. During this period she must not only not be
turned out, but it is not decent for her to leave of her own accord, lest the chances
of reconciliation should be diminished: see the next note.
5508 A reconciliation is possible, and is indeed recommended at every stage. The
first serious differences between the parties are to be submitted to a family council
on which both sides are represented (4:35); divorce is not to be pronounced when
mutual physical attraction is at an ebb (n. 5506); when it is pronounced, there
should be a period of probationary waiting; dower has to be paid and due
provision has to be made for many things on equitable terms; every facility has to
be given for reconciliation till the last moment, and impediments are provided
against hasty impulse leading to rupture. Thou knowest not if perchance Allah will
bring about thereafter some new situation.
2. Thus when they fulfil their term appointed, either take
them back on equitable terms(5509) or part with
them on equitable terms; and take for witness two
persons from among you, endued with justice, and
establish the evidence(5510) (As) before Allah. Such
is the admonition given to him who believes in Allah
and the Last Day. And for those who fear Allah, He
(ever) prepares(5511) a way out,
Translation:- 5509 Cf. 2:231. Everything should be done fairly and squarely, and all interests
should be safeguarded.
5510 Publicity and the establishment of proper evidence ensure that no one will
act unjustly or selfishly. All should remember that these are matters of serious
import, affecting our most intimate lives, and therefore our position in the spiritual
kingdom.
5511 In these very delicate and difficult matters, the wisdom of jurists provides a
less satisfactory solution than a sincere desire to be just and true, which is
described as the “fear of Allah”. Where such a desire exists, Allah often provides a
solution in the most unexpected ways or from the most unexpected quarters; e.g.,
the worst enemies may be reconciled, or the cry or the smile of an infant baby
may heal seemingly irreparable injuries or unite hearts seemingly alienated
forever. And Faith is followed at once by a psychological feeling of rest for the
troubled spirit.
3. And He provides for him from (sources) he never
could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah,
sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely
accomplish his purpose:(5512) verily, for all things
has Allah appointed a due proportion.
Translation:- 5512 Our anger and our impatience have to be curbed. Our friends and our
mates or associates may seem to us ever so weak and unreasonable, and the
circumstances may be ever so disheartening; yet we must trust in Allah. How can
we measure our own weakness or perhaps blindness? He knows all. His universal
Purpose is always good. His Will must be accomplished, and we should wish for
its accomplishment. His ordering of the universe observes a due, just, and perfect
proportion.
4. Such of your women as have passed the age of
monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye
have any doubts, is three months, and for those who
have no courses (it is the same):(5513) for those who
carry (life within their wombs), their period is until
they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear
Allah, He will make their path easy.(5514)
Translation:- 5513 Cf. 2:228. For normal women, the ‘iddah is the three monthly courses after
separation: if there are no courses or if the courses are in doubt, it is three
calendar months. By that time it will be clear whether there is pregnancy: if there
is, the waiting period is still after delivery (see also 2:234).
5514 Cf. n. 5511 above. If there is a true and sincere desire to obey the Will of
Allah and do right the difficulties will vanish, and these delicate matters will be
settled for the greatest happiness of all.
5. That is the Command of Allah, which He has sent
down to you: and if any one fears Allah, He will
remove his ills,(5515) from him, and will enlarge his
reward.
Translation:- 5515 Allah’s ordinance is nothing arbitrary. It is to help us, and to lead us on to
our highest good, temporal and spiritual. If we obey Allah, His wisdom will not
only solve our difficulties, but it will remove other ills that we may have, subjective
and objective. Like a good shepherd, He will lead us on to more and more
luscious pastures. With each step higher, our position becomes more and more
sure and our reward more and more precious.
6. Let the women live (in ´iddat) in the same style as ye
live, according to your means: Annoy them not, so as
to restrict them.(5516) And if they carry (life in their
wombs), then(5517) spend (your substance) on them
until they deliver their burden: and if they suckle your
(offspring), give them their recompense: and take
mutual counsel together, according to what is just and
reasonable. And if ye find yourselves(5518) in
difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on
the (father´s) behalf.(5519)
Translation:- 5516 Cf. n. 5507 above. A selfish man, because he has divorced his wife, may, in
the probationary period before the divorce becomes absolute, treat her with
contumely, and while giving her residence and maintenance, may so restrict it as to
make her life miserable. This is forbidden. She must be provided on the same
scale as he is, according to his status in life. There is still hope of reconciliation,
and if not, yet the parting must be honourable.
5517 If there is a pregnancy, a sacred third life comes on the scene, for which
there is added responsibility (perhaps added hope for reconciliation) for both
parents. In any case no separation is possible until after the child is born. Even
after birth, if no reconciliation between parents is possible, yet for the nursing of
the child and for its welfare the care of the mother remains the duty of the father,
and mere must be mutual counsel between him and the mother in all truth and
sincerity.
5518 If ye find yourselves in difficulties: e.g., if the mother’s milk fails, or if her
health fails, or if any circumstance arises which bars the natural course of the
mother nursing her own child. There may be psychological difficulties also.
5519 That is, the father must stand all expenses, without cutting down the
reasonable allowance to which the mother is en tided.
7. Let the man of means spend according to his means:
and the man whose resources are restricted, let him
spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah
puts no burden on any person beyond what He has
given him. After a difficulty, Allah will soon grant
relief.(5520)
Translation:- 5520 We must trust in Allah, and do whatever is possible for us in the interests of
the young life for which we are responsible. We must not be frightened by
difficulties. Allah will give us relief and provide a solution if we act with honest
integrity. Cf. 94:5-6.
8. How many populations that insolently opposed(5521)
the Command of their Lord and of His messengers, did
We not then call to account,- to severe account?- and
We imposed on them an exemplary
Punishment.(5522)
5521 Insolent impiety consists not only in the breach of the rites of religion. Even
more vital is the defiance of the laws of nature which Allah has made for us.
These laws, for us human beings include those which relate to our fellow-beings in
society to whom kindness and consideration form the basis of our social duties.
Our duties to our families and our children in intimate matters such as were
spoken of in the last Section, are as important as any in our spiritual life. Peoples
who forgot the moral law in marriage or family life perished in this world and will
have no future in the Hereafter. The lessons apply not only to individuals but to
whole nations or social groups.
5522 This refers to the present life: apparently the Hereafter is implied in verse 10
below.
9. Then did they taste the evil result of their conduct,
and the End of their conduct was Perdition
10. Allah has prepared for them a severe
Punishment(5523) (in the Hereafter). Therefore fear
Allah, O ye men of understanding – who have
believed!- for Allah hath indeed sent down to you a
Message,-(5524)
Translation:- 5523 See last note.
5524 There is no excuse for us to go astray, seeing that Allah in His infinite Mercy
has explained to us His Message by His many Signs around us and clearly by
means of the human Teachers and Messengers whom He has sent for our
instruction: see next verse.
11. An Messenger, who rehearses to you the Signs of
Allah containing clear explanations, that he may lead
forth those who believe and do righteous deeds from
the depths of Darkness(5525) into Light. And those
who believe in Allah and work righteousness, He will
admit to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell
therein for ever: Allah has indeed granted for them a
most excellent Provision.
Translation:- 5525 Cf. 24:40: the unbelievers’ state is “like the depths of darkness in a vast deep
ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by dark clouds; depths
of darkness, one above another.” Cf. 2:257: “Allah is the Protector of those who
have Faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light.”
12. Allah is He Who created seven Firmaments(5526)
and of the earth a similar number.(5527) Through the
midst of them (all) descends(5528) His Command:
that ye may know that Allah has power over all things,
and that Allah comprehends, all things in (His)
Knowledge.
Translation:- 5526 “Seven Firmaments.” (Cf. 2:29, 17:44, 23:17, 23:86, 51:12, 65:12, 67:3, and
71:15.) [Eds.].
5527 As there are grades one above the other in the spiritual kingdom, there are
similar grades in our life on this earth. If we take the literal meaning-just as we see
the heavenly spheres one above another, over our heads, so we can see that the
crust of the earth is built up of geological strata one above another ( Cf. n. 5559).
(R).
5528 But in all spheres of life and Creation, whatever conception we are able to
form of them, it is certain that the Command or Law of Allah runs through them
all, for His knowledge and power extend through all things.
