61:10 - O ye who believe! Shall I show you a commerce that will save you from a painful doom?<br />

61:11 - Ye should believe in Allah and His messenger, and should strive for the cause of Allah with<br />

your wealth and your lives. That is better for you, if ye did but know.<br />

COMMOTION:<br />

79:6 - One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion 5920<br />

5920 The evidence of the wonderful working of the angels having been invoked in the first five verses, the conclusion is<br />

now drawn and stated. It is certain that one great Day, the whole world as we now see it in our lower life will be in<br />

violent revolution. It will be like an earthquake destroying all land-marks. But that will affect only things subject to<br />

change: they will suffer violent convulsions as a preliminary to their disappearance. But Allah and His divine order will<br />

not change: His "Face" abideth for ever, full of Majesty, Bounty, and Honour (lv. 27). (79.6)<br />

79:7 - Followed by oft-repeated (commotions): 5921<br />

5921 The Commotion will be repeated again and again in the transitory world, to make way for the new world that will then<br />

come into being. (79.7)<br />

52:9 - On the day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion. 5043<br />

5043 The Day of Judgment is typified by two figures. (1) "The firmament will be in dreadful commotion." The heavens as we<br />

see them suggest to us peace and tranquillity, and the power of fixed laws which all the heavenly bodies obey. This<br />

will all be shaken in the rise of the new world. Cf. Matt. xxiv. 29: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days...the<br />

powers of the heavens shall be shaken." For (2) see next note. (52.9)<br />

73:14 - One Day the earth and the mountains will be in violent commotion and the mountains will<br />

be as a heap of sand poured out and flowing down. 5766<br />

5766 The Judgment is described as a violent commotion which will change the whole face of nature as we know it. Even<br />

the hard rock of mountains will be like loose sand running without any cohesion. (73.14)<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 4243 Narrated by<br />

AbuBakrah<br />

The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: There will be a period of commotion in which the one who lies down will be<br />

better than the one who sits, and the one who sits is better than the one who stands, and the one who stands is better than<br />

the one who walks, and the one who walks is better than the one who runs (to it). He asked: What do you command me to<br />

do, Apostle of Allah? He replied: He who has camels should remain with his camels, he who has sheep should remain with<br />

his sheep, and he who has land should remain with his land. He asked: If anyone has more of these, (what should he do)?<br />

He replied: He should take his sword, strike its edge on a stone, and then escape if he can.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 4329 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As<br />

When we were around the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him), he mentioned the period of commotion (fitnah) saying:<br />

When you see the people that their covenants have been impaired, (the fulfilling of) the guarantees becomes rare, and they<br />

become thus (interwining his fingers). I then got up and said: What should I do at that time, may Allah make me ransom for<br />

you? He replied: Keep to your house, control your tongue, accept what you approve, abandon what you disapprove, attend to<br />

your own affairs, and leave alone the affairs of the generality.<br />

COMPANIONS:<br />

4:36 - Serve Allah and join not any partners with Him: and do good to parents kinsfolk orphans<br />

those in need neighbors who are near neighbors who are strangers the companion by your<br />

side the way-farer (ye meet) and what your right hands possess: for Allah loveth not the<br />

arrogant the vainglorious; 550551552553554<br />

551 Neighbours who are near: that is, in local situation as well as intimate relationships, just as neighbours who are<br />

strangers includes those whom we do not know or who live away from us. (4.36)<br />

552 The Companion by your side may be your intimate friends and associates, just as the way-farer you meet may be a<br />

casual acquaintance on your travels. This last is much wider than the "stranger within your gate." (4.36)<br />
