ABROAD:<br />

4:94 - O ye who believe! when ye go abroad in the cause of Allah investigate carefully and say not to anyone<br />

who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a believer!" Coveting the perishable goods of this life: with Allah<br />

are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were ye yourselves before till Allah conferred on you His favors:<br />

therefore carefully investigate for Allah is well aware of all that ye do. 613<br />

613 Go abroad: dharaba = to travel, to go for jihad, or for honest trade or other service, which if done with pure motives,<br />

counts as service in the cause of Allah. The immediate occasion was in connection with jihad, but the words are<br />

general, and can be applied to similar circumstances. In war (or in peace) we are apt to catch some worldly advantage<br />

by pluming ourselves on our superiority in Faith. In war perhaps we want to gain glory or booty by killing a supposed<br />

enemy. This is wrong. The righteous man, if he is really out in Allah's service, has more abundant and richer gifts to<br />

think of in the Hereafter. (4.94)<br />

54:7 - They will come forth their eyes humbled from (their) graves (torpid) like locusts scattered<br />

abroad 5134<br />

5134 At one stage in the invasion of locust swarms, the locusts are torpid and are scattered abroad all over the ground. I<br />

have seen them on railway tracks in 'Iraq, crushed to death in hundreds by passing trains. The simile is apt for the<br />

stunned beings who will rise up in swarms from their graves and say, "Ah! woe unto us! who has raised us up?"<br />

(xxxvi. 52). (54.7)<br />

33:59 O prophet! tell thy wives and daughters and the believing women that they should cast their<br />

outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient that they should be<br />

known (as such) and not molested: and Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 3764376537663767<br />

100:9 -Does he not know when that which is in the graves is Scattered abroad 6249<br />

6249 Dead bodies, secret plots, evil thoughts and imaginings, long since buried, will yet stand forth before the Judgmentseat<br />

of Allah. Instead of being closely hidden or blotted out-as they will have been from the consciousness of<br />

mankind,-they will stand out as from the consciousness of Allah, which is all-embracing and never suffers from sleep<br />

or fatigue. (100.9<br />

77:5 - Then spread abroad a Message 5866<br />

5866 If we understand the reference to Prophets or Messengers of Allah, or the verses of Revelation which would be<br />

particularly appropriate for verses 5-6, we also get a satisfactory solution of the Allegory. (1) The Prophets have<br />

followed one another in a series: the verses of the Qur-an came, one after another as needed; in both cases it was for<br />

man's spiritual profit; (2) they caused great disturbance in a spiritual decadent world; they pulled down evil institutions<br />

root and branch, and substituted new ones; (3) they proclaimed their truths far and wide, without fear and without<br />

favour; (4) through them were sorted out men of Faith and rebels against Allah's Law; and (5) they gave a Message,<br />

through which just men were justified through repentance, and evil men were warned of their sins. Some<br />

Commentators take one or other of these allegories, and some apply one allegory to a few of these verses, and<br />

another to another few. In my opinion the Allegory is wide enough to comprehend all the meanings which I have<br />

sketched. I wish a translation could do justice to those marvellously terse sentences in the original. (77.5)<br />
