was bringing them the rain to which they were looking forward. How marvellously Allah's Providence works, to help
the good and destroy the wicked! (51.41)
67:22 - Is then one who walks headlong with his face grovelling better guided or one who walks
evenly on a Straight Way? 55805581
5580 Cf. xxvii. 90, and n. 3320. The man of probity is the man who walks evenly on a Straight Way, his feet guided by
Allah's Light and his heart sustained by Allah's Mercy. The man who chooses evil grovels, with his face down, in paths
of Darkness, stumbling on the way, and in constant distrust and fear, the fear of Evil. The two kinds of men are poles
apart, although they five on the same earth, see the same Signs, and are fed with the same Mercies from Allah.
(67.22)
Like Abraham trying to guide his unbelieving father: Cf. xix. 43. (67.22)
68:44 – Then leave Me alone with such as reject this message: by degrees shall We punish them
from directions they perceive not. 56255626
5626 Cf. vii. 182. and n. 1154-A. We must not be impatient if we see the wicked flourish. It may be that the very appearance
of flourishing here may be a part of the Punishment. There may be an eventual punishment by a sort of Cataclysm;
but evolutionary punishment is gradual and sure. Allah may punish wicked people by granting them respite and
providing them worldly benefits in abundance, which encourages them in sin and transgression. So when they are
finally seized by the Wrath of Allah they are caught suddenly and utterly unprepared, as it were, red handed while
engrossed in disbelief, a life of impiety and open revolt against their Lord! (68.44)
79:1 - By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence; 59165917
5916 The beginning of this Sura may be compared with the beginning of S. lxxvii. A translator's task in such passages is
extremely difficult. He has to contend, again and again, with verities of a realm beyond man's normal range of
experience expressed in elliptical language and he has to render them in another language with words of precision
intelligible to readers. It is therefore necessary for him to put in part of the Commentary in the Translation in such
cases. The evidence of five things is here invoked in verses 1-5, in order to lead to the conclusion in verse 6 and
those following. Or, if we treat verses 3-5 as three stages of the same thing, there are three things to be considered in
five stages. What are they? And what is the conclusion? See the following notes. (79.1)
5917 'There is much difference of opinion among the Commentators as to the five things or beings mentioned in these
verses. I follow the general opinion in my interpretation, which is that angels are referred to as the agency which in
their dealings with mankind show clearly Allah's Justice, Power, and Mercy, which again point to the Judgment to
come, as a certainty which none can evade. The first point, referred to in this verse, is that the souls of the wicked are
loath to part with their material body at death, but their will will not count: their souls will be wrenched out into another
world. Who will then deny Resurrection and Judgment? (79.1)
82:14 - And the Wicked they will be in the Fire
83:7 - Nay! Surely the Record of the Wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin 6013
This is a word from the same root as Sijn, a Prison. It rhymes with and is contrasted with Illiyin in verse 18 below. It is
therefore understood by many Commentators to be a place, a Prison or a Dungeon in which the Wicked are confined
pending their appearance before the Judgment-Seat. The mention of the Iscribed Register in verse 9 below may imply
that Sijjin is the name of the Register of Black Deeds, though verse 9 may be elliptical and may only describe the
place by the significance of its contents. (83.7)
88:2 - Some faces that Day will be humiliated 6097
88:3 - Laboring (hard) weary 6098
6098 On the faces of the wicked will appear the hard labour and consequent fatigue of the task they will have in battling
against the fierce Fire which their own Deeds will have kindled. (88.3)
91:12 - Behold the most wicked Man among them was deputed (for impiety). 6155
6155 The prophet Salih was given a certain she-camel as a Sign, a test case, "This she-camel of Allah is Sign unto you: so
leave her to graze in Allah's earth and let her come to no harm, or ye shall be seized with a grievous punishment" (vii.
73). But they plotted to kill her and sent the most wicked man among them to dare and do that deed of impiety. It was
probably when she came to drink at the stream that she was hamstrung and killed. See xxvi. 155, and liv. 27. (91.12)
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 1627 Narrated by
AbuHurayrah
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The angels are present with one who dies, and if a man is good they
say, 'Come out, good soul, which was in the good body; come out praiseworthy and be happy with rest and provision
and a Lord Who is not angry.' That continues to be said to it till it comes out. It is then taken up to Heaven and the
door is opened for it. The angels are asked who this is and reply that he is so and so, whereupon these words are
spoken: 'Welcome, good soul, which was in the good body; enter praiseworthy and be happy with rest and provision
and a Lord Who is not angry.' That continues to be said to it till it comes to the Heaven where Allah is. But when it is a
bad man what is said is, 'Come out, wicked soul, which was in the wicked body; come out blameworthy and be
