Allâh is pleased with the righteous and they are pleased
with Him because they are the best of Allâh’s creation. As for the
evildoers, they are the worst of Allâh’s creation. On the Day of
Qiyâmah, Allâh will be so just that even a good act the size of
an atom will be rewarded and a sin just as small will also not pass unnoticed.
Allâh says that man acknowledges that he has an ungrateful
nature, but his intense love for wealth does not permit him to mend his ways.
Allâh reminds mankind to be mindful of the Day of Qiyâmah because
they can never fathom the flaming inferno of Jahannam. Man is reminded that
he will have to answer for the wealth that he possesses, which makes him negligent
of his duties in this world. Besides the righteous Mu’minîn, the
rest of mankind is at a loss.
Allâh warns man that every tale-carrier and miser is destined
for Jahannam. In Sûrah Fîl, Allâh illustrates how He used
little birds with pebbles to destroy the army of elephants that Abraham brought
to demolish the Ka‘bah. In the next Sûrah, Allâh tells the
Quraysh that they should worship He only because it was Him who made their city
a sanctuary of peace.
In Sûrah Ma’ûn, Allâh condemns those
who rebuke orphans and the poor and who are vain and miserly. These are the
ones who remain negligent of the Salâh. Allâh consoles Rasulullâh
Sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam by telling him not to let the taunts
of a certain Kâfir affect him because it will be the very same wretch
who will be without progeny and will be nameless in history. Allâh urges
Rasulullâh ft to continue performing Salâh and offering sacrifices
because Allâh shall soon award him with the pond of Kawthar as a gift
in the Âkhirâh.
In Sûrah Kâfirûn, Allâh clearly distinguishes
between the Mu’minîn and the Kuffâr so that the one is not
confused for the other. Allâh makes mention of the culmination of Rasulullâh’s
Sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam duty in Sûrah Nasr and commands
Rasulullâh Sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam to engage in excessive
glorification and praise of Allâh. Sûrah Lahab curses Abu Lahab
and his wife because the couple harmed Rasulullâh Sallallâhu ‘alayhi
wasallam, immensely. Sûrah Ikhlâs declares, “Say, ‘He
is Allâh, the One. Allâh is Independent. He is neither the child
of anyone nor has He any children. There is none comparable to Him.
Sûrah Falaq is an invocation to Allâh for His protection
and makes reference to the witchcraft that was intended to harm Rasulullâh
Sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam. Finally, Sûrah Nâs invokes
Allâh’s protection against Shaytân’s instigation and
traps.
