every ransom (or reparation) none will be accepted: such is (the end of) those who deliver
themselves to ruin by their own acts: they will have for drink (only) boiling water and for
punishment one most grievous: for they persisted in rejecting Allah. 893894
893 Cf. vi 32. where we are told that the life of this world is mere play and amusement, and Religion and the Hereafter are
the serious things that require our attention. Worldly people reverse this because they are deceived by the
allurements of this life. But their own acts will find them out. (6.70)
894 We must never forget our own personal responsibility for all we do, or deceive ourselves by the illusion of vicarious
atonement. (6.70)
37:3 - And thus proclaim the message (of Allah)!
96:3 - Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful
6204 The declaration or proclamation was to be in the name of Allah the Creator. It was not for any personal benefit to the
Prophet: to him there was to come bitter persecution, sorrow, and suffering. It was the call of Allah for the benefit of
erring humanity. Allah is mentioned by his title of "thy Lord and Cherisher", to establish a direct nexus between the
source of the Message and the one addressed. The Message was not merely an abstract proposition of philosophy,
but the direct concrete message of a personal Allah to the creatures whom He loves and cherishes. "Thy" addressed
to the Prophet is appropriate in two ways: (1) he was in direct contact with the divine Messenger (Gabriel) and Him
Who sent the Messenger; (2) he represented the whole of humanity, in a fuller sense than that in which Christ Jesus
is the "Son of Man". (96.1)
5:67 - See under “Proclaim”
777 Muhammad had many difficulties to contend with, many enemies and dangers to avoid. Hismission must be fulfilled.
And he must-as he did-go forward and proclaim that Message and fulfil his mission, trusting to Allah for protection,
and unconcerned if people who had lost all sense of right rejected it or threatened him. (5.67)
6:69 – See under “Proclaim”
892 "Evil to him who evil thinks," or evil does. Every man is responsible for his own conduct. But the righteous have two
duties: (1) to protect themselves from infection, and (2) to proclaim God's truth, for even in the most unlikely
circumstances, it is possible that it may have some effect. (6.69)
52:29 – See under “Proclaim”
93:11 - But the Bounty of thy Lord Rehearse and proclaim! 6187
6187 Besides the petitioners, who ask for help, there is the case of those who do not ask but are nevertheless poor-poor
but contented in worldly goods, or poor in knowledge or resources and not even knowing that they are poor. If you are
bountifully endowed by Allah, your duty is to make that Bounty spread far and wide. Proclaim it and share it, as the
holy Prophet always did. We all receive Allah's grace and guidance in some degree or other. We all owe it as a duty to
our fellow-men to be kind and helpful to those less endowed in any respect than ourselves. (93.11)
96:1 - Proclaim! (or Read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher Who created 62036204
6203 Iqraa may mean "read", or "recite or rehearse", or "proclaim aloud", the object understood being Allah's Message. In
worldly letters he was unversed, but with spiritual knowledge his mind and soul were filled, and now had come the
time when he must stand forth to the world and declare his mission. (96.1)
(Prohibit)
11:116 - Why were there not among the generations before you persons possessed of balanced
good sense prohibiting (men) from mischief in the earth except a few among them whom We
saved (from harm)? But the wrongdoers pursued the enjoyment of the good things of life
which were given them and persisted in sin. 16191620
1619 Baqiyat: some virtue or faculty that stands assault and is lasting; balanced good sense that stands firm to virtue and is
not dazzled by the lusts and pleasures of this world, and is not deterred by fear from boldly condemning wrong if it
was fashionable or customary. It is leaders possessed of such character that can save a nation from disaster or
perdition. The scarcity of such leaders-and the rejection of the few who stood out- brought ruin among the nations
whose example has already been set out to us as a warning. In xi. 86 the word has a more literal meaning. (11.116)
1620 The exceptional men of firm virtue would have been destroyed by the wicked to whom they were an offence, had they
not been saved by the grace and mercy of Allah. Or perhaps, but for such grace, they might themselves have
succumbed to the evil around them, or been overwhelmed in the general calamity. (11.116)
(Range)
37:1 - By those who range themselves in ranks. 40304031
37:2 - And so are strong in repelling (evil) 4032
