Sorah Al-A'la ( The Most High ) - Verses Number 19

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى ( 1 )

Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ( 2 )

Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;

وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ( 3 )

Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ ( 4 )

And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,

فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ ( 5 )

And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ ( 6 )

By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ( 7 )

Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 8 )

And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ ( 9 )

Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ ( 10 )

The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى ( 11 )

But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,

الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ ( 12 )

Who will enter the Great Fire,

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ( 13 )

In which they will then neither die nor live.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ( 14 )

But those will prosper who purify themselves,

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ ( 15 )

And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ( 16 )

Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;

وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ ( 17 )

But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ ( 18 )

And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ( 19 )

The Books of Abraham and Moses.

Predestination (Qadar)Qadar is a very sensitive topic. It is the sixth pillar of faith, and many people have gone astray regarding it. Some have denied it altogether while others have gone to such extremes in affirming it that they end up denying human free will.

Praying Eid in the Musallaa is the SunnahPraying 'Eid in the Musallaa is the Sunnah: there is great and profound wisdom behind this Sunnah – the Sunnah of praying in an open area of land. And it is that: The Muslims will have two days of the year where all the people of every city can gather together – whether men, women or children - and turn towards Allaah with their hearts in unity, praying behind one Imaam, making the Takbeer, the Tahleel and supplicating to Allaah sincerely together, as if they were united upon the heart of one man, happy and joyous about the blessing Allaah has bestowed on them. So the Eid will truly be an occasion of celebration for them.

Enjoining Good, Forbidding EvilIbn Taymiyyah said: "This (enjoining good and forbidding evil) is a duty that the entire Ummah is obliged to fulfil. It is what the Ulama know as an obligation of collective responsibility, if a group in society undertook to discharge it, the other members of this society are absolved from it. The entire Ummah is commissioned to undertake it, but if a group therein was responsible for discharging it, the rest of society is no longer obliged to undertake it."
