8:68 - Had it not been for a previous ordainment from Allah a severe penalty would have reached<br />

you for the (ransom) that ye took. 1235<br />

1235 Though any motive of worldly gain, which may have been in the minds of some among the victorious Muslim army, is<br />

condemned as worthy of a severe penalty, what actually happened is ascribed to the Plan of Allah, which was<br />

preordained. Among the prisoners taken were the Prophet's uncle 'Abbas and Hadhrat 'Ali's brother, Aqil, who<br />

afterwards became Muslims. 'Abbas was an ancestor of the founder of the celebrated 'Abbasi Dynasty which played<br />

such a notable part in Islamic history. In his case the promise made in verse 70 was amply fulfilled. In the case of all<br />

prisoners, if there was any good in their hearts, their very fight against Islam and their capture led to their being<br />

blessed with Islam. Thus does Allah's Plan work in a marvellous way, and evolve good out of seemingevil. (8.68)<br />

10:54 - Every soul that hath sinned if it possessed all that is on earth would fain give it in ransom:<br />

they would declare (their) repentance when they see the Penalty: but the judgment between<br />

them will be with justice and no wrong will be done unto them. 14441445<br />

1445 Declare their repentance: the verb in the original is asarru, which may mean either "declare" or "reveal" or else<br />

"conceal" or "hide". The classical Commentators are divided as to the meaning to be adopted here. If the first, which I<br />

prefer, the sense would be: "When the Penalty stares the sinners in the face, they would give anything to escape it,<br />

and they would even openly declare their repentance, which would be a source of shame and ignominy to them." If<br />

the latter meaning be taken, the sense would be: "They would give anything to escape the Penalty; but the hardest<br />

thing of all for them is frankly to confess and repent, and so they conceal their sense of shame and ignominy." (10.54)<br />

13:18 - For those who respond to their Lord are (all) good things. But those who respond not to<br />

Him even if they had all that is in the heavens and on earth and as much more (in vain) would<br />

they offer it for ransom. For them will the reckoning be terrible: their abode will be Hell what a<br />

bed of misery! 1833<br />

1833 Cf. iii. 91 and x. 54. (13.18)<br />

47:4 - Therefore when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight) smite at their necks; at length when ye<br />

have thoroughly subdued them bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either<br />

generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it<br />

had been Allah's Will He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He<br />

lets you fight) in order to test you some with others. But those who are slain in the way of<br />

Allah He will never let their deeds be lost. 48204821482248234824<br />

Making Up Missed Days of Ramadan<br />

Making up missed days of Ramadan is an obligation that need not be fulfilled immediately because the time for fulfilling is<br />

very wide and one may perform it at any time. This is also the case with the fast of expiation. It has been authentically<br />

reported that 'Aishah would make up her missed days during the month of Sha'ban (the month preceding Ramadan), and that<br />

she did not perform them immediately even if she had the ability to do so……<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 6.42 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah bin Maqal<br />

I sat with Ka'b bin Ujra in this mosque, i.e. Kufa Mosque, and asked him about the meaning of: "Pay a ransom (i.e. Fidya) of<br />

either fasting or..." (2.196) He said, "I was taken to the Prophet while lice were falling on my face. The Prophet said, 'I did not<br />

think that your trouble reached to such an extent. Can you afford to slaughter a sheep (as a ransom for shaving your head)?' I<br />

said, 'No.' He said, 'Then fast for three days, or feed six poor persons by giving half a Sa of food for each and shave your<br />

head.' So the above Verse was revealed especially for me and generally for all of you."<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 8.562<br />

Narrated by<br />

Anas bin Malik<br />

The Prophet said, "Allah will say to the person who will have the minimum punishment in the Fire on the<br />

Day of Resurrection, 'If you had things equal to whatever is on the earth, would you ransom yourself (from<br />

the punishment) with it?' He will reply, 'Yes.' Allah will say, 'I asked you a much easier thing than this<br />

while you were in the backbone of Adam, that is, not to worship others besides Me, but you refused and<br />

insisted to worship others besides Me.' "<br />
