21:13 - Flee not but return to the good things of this life which were given you and to your homes
in order that ye may be called to account. 2674
2674 See last note. 'You thought your homes so comfortable: why don't you go back to them? You will be called to account.
Perhaps there may be rewards to be given you, who knows?' This irony is itself the beginning of the Punishment. But
the ungodly now see how wrong they had been. But their signs and regrets now avail them nothing. It is too late. They
are lost, and nothing can save them. (21.13)
21:95 - But there is a ban on any population which We have destroyed: that they shall not return.
2752
2752 But when wickedness comes to such a pass that the Wrath of Allah descends, as it did on Sodom, the case becomes
hopeless. The righteous were warned and delivered before the Wrath descended. But those destroyed will not get
another chance, as they flouted all previous chances. They will only be raised at the approach of the Day of
Judgment. (21.95)
23:60 - And those who dispense their charity with their hearts full of fear because they will return to
their Lord 2912
2912 Their hearts are full of reverence for Allah and fear lest their charity or their hearts be not good enough for acceptance
before their Lord; for they have the certainty of a future life, in which they will stand before the Judgment Seat. They
fear for their own worthiness, but they hope in Faith. (23.60)
26:102 - `Now if we only had a chance of return we shall truly be of those who believe!' " 3185
3185 This apparent longing for a chance of return is dishonest. If they were sent back, they would certainly retum to their
evil ways: vi. 27-28. Besides, they have had numerous chances already in this life, and they have used them for
mischief or evil. (26.102)
28:85 - Verily He Who ordained the Qur'an for thee will bring thee back to the Place of Return.
Say: "My Lord knows best who it is that brings true guidance and who is in manifest error."

3415 That is: order in His wisdom and mercy that the Qur-an should be revealed, containing guidance for conduct in this life
and the next, and further ordered that it should be read out and taught and its principles observed in practice. It is
because of this teaching and preaching that the holy Prophet was persecuted, but as Allah sent the Qur-an, He will
see that those who follow it will not eventually suffer, but be restored to happiness in the Place of Return, for which
see next note. (28.85)
3416 Place of Return: (1) a title of Makkah; (2) the occasion when we shall be restored to the Presence of our Lord. It is
said that this verse was revealed at Juhfa, on the road from Makkah to Madinah, a short distance from Makkah on the
Hijrat journey. The Prophet was sad at heart, and this was given as consolation to him. If this was the particular
occasion, the general meaning would refer the Place of Return to the occasion of the Resurrection, when all true
values will be restored, however they may be disturbed by the temporary interference of evil in this life. (28.85)
3417 Allah's greatness and infinitude are such that He can create and cherish not only a whole mass, but each individual
soul, and He can follow its history and doings until the final Judgment. This shows not only Allah's glory and
Omniscience and Omnipotence: it also shows the value of each individual soul in His eyes, and lifts individual
responsibility right up into relations with Him. (28.85)
29:17 "For ye do worship idols besides Allah and ye invent falsehood. The things that ye worship
besides Allah have no power to give you sustenance: then seek ye sustenance from Allah
serve Him and be grateful to Him: to Him will be your return. 3439
3439 Sustenance: in the symbolic as well as the literal sense. Seek from Allah all that is necessary for your upkeep and
development, and for preparing you for your future Destiny. Lay all your hopes in Him and in no one else. Dedicate
yourselves to His worship. He will give you all that is necessaq for your growth and well being, and you should show
your gratitude to Him by conforming your will entirely to His. (29.17)
31:15 - "But if they strive to make the join in worship with Me things of which thou hast no
knowledge obey them not; Yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration)
and follow the way of those who turn to Me (in love): in the End the return of you all is to Me
and I will tell you the truth (and meaning) of all that ye did." 359735983599
3597 Where the duty to man conflicts with the duty to Allah, it means that there is something wrong with the human will, and
we should obey Allah rather than man. But even here, it does not mean that we should be arrogant or insolent. To
parents and those in authority, we must be kind, considerate, and courteous, even where they command things which
we should not do and therefore disobedience becomes our highest duty. The worship of things other than Allah is the
worship of false things, things which are alien to our true knowledge, things that go against our own pure nature as
created by Allah. (31.15)
3598 In any apparent conflict of duties our standard should be Allah's Will, as declared to us by His command. That is the
way of those who love Allah: and their motive in disobedience to parents or human authority where disobedience is
