7:26 O ye children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame as well as<br />

to be an adornment to you but the raiment of righteousness that is the best. Such are among<br />

the signs of Allah that they may receive admonition! 1008<br />

1008 The body: is pure and beautiful, as long as it is not defiled by misuse: its clothing and ornaments may be good or<br />

meretricious, according to the motives in the mind and character: if good, they arc the symbols of purity and beauty:<br />

but the best clothing and ornament we could have comes from righteousness, which covers the nakedness of sin, and<br />

adorns us with virtues. (7.26)<br />

APES:<br />

2:65 - And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath; We<br />

said to them: "Be ye apes despised and rejected." 79<br />

79 The punishment for breach of the Sabbath under the Mosaic law was death. "Every one that defieth it (the Sabbath)<br />

shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people."<br />

(Exod. xxxi. 14). There must have been a Jewish tradition about a whole fishing community in a seaside town, which<br />

persisted in breaking the Sabbath and were turned into apes; cf. vii. 163-166. Or should we translate in both these<br />

passages. "Be as apes", instead of "Be apes"? This is the suggestion of Maulvi Muhammad Ali on this passage, on<br />

the authority of Mujabid and Ibn Jarir Tabari. The punishment would be, not for the breach of the Sabbath in itself, but<br />

for their contumacious defiance of the Law. (2.65)<br />

5:60 - Say: "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this (as judged) by the treatment it<br />

received from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath those of whom<br />

some He transformed into apes and swine those who worshipped Evil; these are (many times)<br />

worse in rank and far more astray from the even Path! 770<br />

770 For apes see Q. ii. 65. For men possessed by devils, and the devils being sent into swine, see Matt. viii. 28-32. (5.60)<br />

7:166 - When in their insolence they transgressed (all) prohibition We said to them: "Be ye apes<br />

despised and rejected." 1139<br />

Anas ibn Malik<br />

Narrated by<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The people will establish cities, Anas, and one of them will be called al-Basrah or al-<br />

Busayrah. If you should pass by it or enter it, avoid its salt-marshes, its Kall, its market, and the gate of its commanders, and<br />

keep to its environs, for the earth will swallow some people up, pelting rain will fall and earthquakes will take place in it, and<br />

there will be people who will spend the night in it and become apes and swine in the morning.<br />
