shown by thoughts, words, and deeds,-by forgetting or denying Allah and His goodness, by
misusing His gifts, or by injustice to His creatures. (100.6)
MARKS:
48:29 - On their faces are their marks (being) the traces of their prostration.
4915 The traces of their earnestness and humility are engraved on their faces, i.e., penetrate their inmost being, the face
being the outward sign of the inner man. If we take it in its literal sense, the traces might mean the marks left by
repeated prostration on their foreheads. Moreover, a good man's face alone shows in him the grace and light of Allah;
he is gentle, kind and forbearing, ever helpful, relying on Allah and possessing a blessed Peace and Calmness
(Sakina, xlviii. 26) that can come from no other source. (48.29)
: Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 7.708 Narrated by
Aisha
Allah's Apostle offered prayer while he was wearing a Khamisa of his that had printed marks. He looked at its marks and
when he finished prayer, he said, "Take this Khamisa of mine to Abu Jahm, for it has just now diverted my attention from
my prayer, and bring to me the Anbijania (a plain thick sheet) of Abu Jahm bin Hudhaifa bin Ghanim who belonged to Bani
Adi bin Ka'b."
MARRIAGE:

MARUT:
2:102 - They followed what the evil ones gave out (falsely) against the power of Solomon; the
blasphemers were not Solomon but the evil ones teaching men magic and such things as
came down at Babylon to the angels Harut and Marut. But neither of these taught anyone
(such things) without saying: "We are only for trial so do not blaspheme." They learned from
them the means to sow discord between man and wife. But they could not thus harm anyone
except by Allah's permission. And they learned what harmed them not what profited them.
And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share in the happiness of the
Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did sell their souls if they but knew! 103104105
103 This is a continuation of the argument in ii. 101. The People of the Book, instead of sticking to the plain Books of
Revelations, and seeking to do the will of God ran after all sorts of occult knowledge, most of which was false and evil.
Many wonderful tales of occult power attributed the power of Solomon to magic. But Solomon dealt in not arts of evil.
It was the powers of evil that pretended to force the laws of nature and the will of God; such a pretense is plainly
blasphemy. (2.102)
104 This verse has been interpreted variously. Whe were Harut and Marut? What did they teach? Why did they teach it?
The view which commends itself to me is that of the Tafsir Haqqani following Baidhawi and the Tafsir Kabir. The word
"angels" as applied to Harut and Marut is figurative. It means "good men, of knowledge, science (or wisdom) and
power." In modern language the word "angel" is applied to a good and beautiful woman. The earlier tradition made
angels masculine, and applied to them the attributes which I have mentioned, along with the attribute of beauty, which
was implied in goodness, knowledge, wisdom, and power. (2.102)
105 What the evil ones learnt from Harut and Marut (see last note) they turned to evil. When mixed with fraud and
deception, it appeared as charms and spells of love potions. They did nothing but cause discord between the sexes.
But of course their power was limited to the extent to which God permitted the evil to work, for His grace protected all
who sought His guidance and repented and returned to Him. But apart from the harm that these false pretenders
might do to others, the chief harm which they did was to their own souls. They sold themselves into slavery to the Evil
One, as is shown in the allegory of Goethe's Faust. That allegory dealt with the individual soul. Here the tragedy is
shown to occur not only to individuals but to whole groups of people, for example, the People of the Book. Indeed the
story might be extended indefinitely. (2.102)
MARTRYDOM:
2:154 - And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah: "They are dead." Nay they are living
though ye perceive (it) not. 158
