Ash-Shuraa : 7

42:7
وَكَذَٰلِكَأَوْحَيْنَآإِلَيْكَقُرْءَانًاعَرَبِيًّالِّتُنذِرَأُمَّٱلْقُرَىٰوَمَنْحَوْلَهَاوَتُنذِرَيَوْمَٱلْجَمْعِلَارَيْبَفِيهِفَرِيقٌفِىٱلْجَنَّةِوَفَرِيقٌفِىٱلسَّعِيرِ ٧

Saheeh International

And thus We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur'an that you may warn the Mother of Cities [Makkah] and those around it and warn of the Day of Assembly, about which there is no doubt. A party will be in Paradise and a party in the Blaze.

Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)

The Qur'an was revealed to serve as a Warning

Allah says, `just as We sent revelation to the Prophets before you,'

وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ قُرْانًا عَرَبِيًّا

and thus We have revealed to you a Qur'an in Arabic,

meaning, plain, clear, and manifest

لِّتُنذِرَ أُمَّ الْقُرَى

that you may warn the Mother of the Towns, i.e., Makkah,

وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا

and all around it,

means, all the lands, east and west.

Makkah is called Umm Al-Qura (the Mother of the Towns) because it is nobler than all other lands, as indicated by much evidence that has been discussed elsewhere. Among the most concise and clear proofs of that is the report recorded by Imam Ahmad from Abdullah bin `Adi bin Al-Hamra' Az-Zuhri, who heard the Messenger of Allah say, as he was standing in the market place of Makkah;

وَاللهِ إِنَّكِ لَخَيْرُ أَرْضِ اللهِ وَأَحَبُّ أَرْضِ اللهِ إِلَى اللهِ وَلَوْلَاا أَنِّي أُخْرِجْتُ مِنْكِ مَا خَرَجْت

By Allah, you are the best land of Allah, the most beloved land to Allah; were it not for the fact that I was driven out from you, I would never have left you.

This was also recorded by At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah;

At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih. "

وَتُنذِرَ يَوْمَ الْجَمْعِ

and warn (them) of the Day of Assembling,

i.e., the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will assemble the first and the last in one plain.

لَاا رَيْبَ فِيهِ

of which there is no doubt,

means, there is no doubt that it will happen and will most certainly come to pass.

فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيقٌ فِي السَّعِيرِ

a party will be in Paradise and a party in the blazing Fire.

This is like the Ayah:

يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُكُمْ لِيَوْمِ الْجَمْعِ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ التَّغَابُن

(And remember) the Day when He will gather you (all) on the Day of Gathering, --- that will be the Day of mutual loss and gain, (64:9)

which means that the people of Paradise and the people of Hell will gain and lose, respectively.

And it is like the Ayah:

إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ لايَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الاٌّخِرَةِ ذلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوعٌ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُودٌ

وَمَا نُوَخِّرُهُ إِلاَّ لاًّجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ

يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِىٌّ وَسَعِيدٌ

Indeed in that (there) is a sure lesson for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day whereon will be gathered together, and that is a Day when all (the dwellers of the heavens and the earth) will be present.

And We delay it only for a term fixed.

On the Day when it comes, no person shall speak except by His leave. Some among them will be wretched and (others) blessed. (11:103-105)

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abdullah bin `Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

"The Messenger of Allah came out to us, holding two books in his hand. He said,

أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هذَانِ الْكِتَابَانِ

Do you know what these two books are?

We said, "We do not know unless you tell us, O Messenger of Allah."

Concerning the book in his right hand, He said:

هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ بِأَسْمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَسْمَاءِ ابَايِهِمْ وَقَبَايِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ أُجْمِلَ عَلى اخِرِهِمْ لَا يُزَادُ فِيهِمْ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُمْ أبدًا

This is a book from the Lord of the worlds, containing the names of the people of Paradise and of their fathers and tribes; all of them are detailed, down to the last one of them, and nothing will be added or taken away from it.

Then concerning the book in his left hand, he said:

هَذَا كِتَابُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ بِأَسْمَايِهِمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ ابَايِهِمْ وَقَبَايِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ أُجْمِلَ عَلى اخِرِهِمْ لَا يُزَادُ فِيهِمْ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُمْ أَبَدًا

This is the book of the people of Hell, containing their names and the names of their fathers and tribes, all of them are detailed down to the last one of them, and nothing will be added or taken away from it.

The Companions of the Messenger of Allah said, "Why should we strive if it is something that is already cut and dried"

The Messenger of Allah said:

سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ الْجَنَّةِ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ عَمِلَ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ وَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ النَّارِ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنْ عَمِلَ أَيَّ عَمَل

Strive with your deeds as hard as you can for middle course or close to it, for the person who is destined for Paradise will die doing the deeds of the people of Paradise, regardless of what he did before, and the person who is destined for Hell will die doing the deeds of the people of Hell, regardless of what he did before.

Then he made a gesture with his fist and said,

فَرَغَ رَبُّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنَ الْعِبَاد

Your Lord has settled the matter of His servants.

and he opened his right hand as if throwing something;

فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّة

A party in Paradise.

and he made a similar gesture with his left hand;

فَرِيقٌ فِي السَّعِير

And a party in the blazing Fire."

This was also recorded by At-Tirmidhi, and An-Nasa'i;

At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih Gharib."

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Nadrah said,

"One of the Companions of the Prophet , whose name was Abu Abdullah, was visited by some of his friends, and they found him weeping. They asked him, `What has caused you to weep Didn't the Messenger of Allah say to you,

خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِكَ ثُمَّ أَقِرَّهُ حَتَّى تَلْقَانِي

Trim your moustache and adhere to that practice until you meet me.'

He said, `Yes, but I heard the Messenger of Allah say;

إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى قَبَضَ بِيَمِينِهِ قَبْضَةً وَأُخْرَى بِالْيَدِ الاُْخْرَى قَالَ هذِهِ لِهذِهِ وَهذِهِ لِهذِهِ وَلَا أُبَالِي

Allah picked up a handful in His Right Hand and another in His other Hand, and said, "This is for this and this is for this, and I do not care."

`And I do not know in which of the two handfuls I am."'

There are several Hadiths about Al-Qadr (the Divine Decree) in the books of Sahih, Sunan and Musnad. Including those narrated by Ali, Ibn Mas`ud, A'ishah and a large number of Companions, may Allah be pleased with them all
