938 Where there is sheer obstinacy and ridicule of faith, the result will be that such a sinner's heart will be hardened and
his eyes will be sealed, so that he cannot even see the things visible to ordinary mortals. The sinner gathers impetus
in his descent towards wrong. (6.110)
939 Cf. ii. 15. God's grace is always ready to help human weakness or ignorance and to accept repentance and give
forgiveness. But where the sinner is in actual rebellion, he will be given none, and it will be his own fault if he wanders
about distractedly, without any certain hope or refuge. (6.110)
6:65 - Say: "He hath power to send calamities on you from above and below or to cover you with
confusion in party strife giving you a taste of mutual vengeance each from the other." See
how We explain the Signs by various (symbols) that they may understand. 888889
888 Calamities from above and below: such as storms and blizzards, torrential rain, ect., or earthquakes, floods,
landslides, etc. (6.65)
6:93 - Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah or saith "I have received
inspiration" when he hath received none or (again) who saith "I can reveal the like of what
Allah hath revealed?" If thou couldst but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion
at death! the angels stretch forth their hands (saying) "Yield up your souls. This day shall ye
receive your reward a penalty of shame for that ye used to tell lies against Allah and scornfully
to reject of His Signs!" 915
915 Yield up your souls: or "get your souls to come out of your bodies." The wicked, we may suppose, are not anxious to
part with the material existence in their bodies for the "reward" which in irony is stated to be there to welcome them.

7:56 - Work not confusion in the earth after the fair ordering (thereof), and call on Him in fear and
hope. Lo! the mercy of Allah is nigh unto the good.
7:85 - And unto Midian (We sent) their brother, Shueyb. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have
no other God save Him. Lo! a clear proof hath come unto you from your Lord; so give full
measure and full weight and wrong not mankind in their goods, and work not confusion in the
earth after the fair ordering thereof. That will be better for you, if ye are believers.
23:71 - f the Truth had been in accord with their desires truly the heavens and the earth and all
beings therein would have been in confusion and corruption! Nay We have sent them their
admonition but they turn away from their admonition. 2919
2919 Allah is All-Wise and All-Good, and His architecture of the universe is on a perfect Plan. If these poor, low,
selfish, ignorant creatures were to plan it according to their hearts' desires, it would be a dreadful world, full of
confusion and corruption. (23.71
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 9.416 Narrated by
Jabir bin Abdulla
When the (following) Verse was revealed to Allah's Apostle: "Say: He has power to send torment on you from above," (6.65)
he said, "O Allah! I seek refuge with Your Face (from that punishment)." And when this was revealed: "...or from beneath your
feet." (6.65) he said, "O Allah! I seek refuge with Your Face (from that)." And when this Verse was revealed: "...or to cover
you with confusion in party-strife, and make you to taste the violence of one another," (6.65) he said: "These two warnings
are easier (than the previous ones)."
CONSORTS:
33:28 - O Prophet! say to thy Consorts: "If it be that ye desire the life of this world and its glitter then
come! I will provide for your enjoyment and set you free in a handsome manner." 3706
3706 We now come to the subject of the position of the Consorts of Purity (azwaj mutahharat), the wives of the holy
Prophet. Their position was not like that of ordinary women or ordinary wives. They had special duties and
responsibilities. The only youthful marriage of the holy Prophet was his first marriage-that with Hadhrat Khadija, the
best of women and the best of wives. He married her fifteen years before he received his call to Prophethood; their
married life lasted for twenty-five years, and their mutual devotion was of the noblest, judged by spiritual as well as
social standards. During her life he had no other wife, which was unusual for a man of his standing among his people.
When she died, his age was 50, and but for two considerations, he would probably never have married again, as he
was most abstemious in his physical life. The two considerations which governed his later marriages were: (1)
compassion and clemency, as when he wanted to provide for suffering widows, who could not be provided for in any
other way in that stage of society; some of them, like Sauda, had issue by their former marriage, requiring protection;
(2) help in his duties ofeadership, with women, who had to be instructed and kept together in the large Muslim family,
where women and men had similar social rights. Hadhrat Aisha, daughter of Hadhrat Abu Bakr, was clever and
