Kind of works out for the best, I was actually prepared to do a bit of a shorter session todayĪnyways as it is, so that way it fits right in with the time that we have left as well in sha Allah. Just wanted to apologize for the late start today, got a little hold up but a couple of previousĮngagements before this in this evening, but inshallah we'll go ahead and get started. For more information please visitīayonetta that's ba y y i n ah Īlojamento cobalamin knotty Lovato for an evening our shake will now continue the explanation fromīismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah Intensive seminar on Quranic Arabic and Tafseer studies inshallah. “Do they not look to the bird, which has been made submissive in the middle of the sky by Allah’s command” – Surah NahlĪllah alone keeps them suspended in the air.īayyinah is pleased to present the Quran intensive in June of 2011. Nouns are used for something consistent this adds to the imagery of the bird flying – the birds consistent action is that when flying it spreads it wings but when retreating its wings is sporadic. Yaqbidn – Qabd – form a fist (retract their wings) (verb) Sawfaat – and flies in a pattern with its wings spread (noun) To a bird (appealing to our fascination with flying) which flies – spreads out its wings. Also, a very unknown, severe and unexpected out of the ordinary punishment.Īyah 19 calls our attention back to the sky. ‘Qad’ is also used for emphasis equivalent to a slammed fist – emphasizing the seriousness of the warning and the message Laqad – laam is for emphasis – concluding the rhetorical question. Also because we perform our actions upon the earth and the deeds go up to the sky. Punishment may come from above us or below us.Īllah talks about the earth before the sky because in the previous verse Allah spoke about the ground. To create awareness: Allah talks about the earth and the sky – that which is above us and below us. Allah’s warning to the people was serious and they will realize when they beg Allah for another chance. MY WARNING but can also refer to the person who does the warning….
Natheeri – (ya has been deleted but shows possession ‘my’ Allah is taking possession) comes from the word Inthaar (warn people). “Very soon you will come to know how serious was my Nabi (the warner)” “Very soon you will come to realise how was MY (warning) natheer” – STRONGER OPINION Haasiban – (used to refer to the people of Lut) about the sky refering to a very strong wind – tornado like (picks up stones and pelts them/ stones are from the sky with this strong wind) (this shows Allah displeasure but Allah never stops advising and warning)
But in the following ayahs speaks about them in the third person. Obey Allah – The earth is ‘Thalool’ – easy submissive and manageableĭisobey Allah – The earth is Khasafal Ard – ready to envelope you and become violentĪ amintum- have you gained security against Allah’s punishment?Īllah directly addresses the people here. This imagery is very common to us (quicksand imagery) so that we understand Quran. Do you feel secure that Allah will not make the earth swallow you? Khasaf Al Ard – refers to the earth sucking something in (like quicksand) – punishment from Allah. Humiliating word, harsh can relate to lunar eclipse (khasafal qamar) These verses refer to Allah (swt) with respect “The one who is in the heavens” The earth and its blessings are completely subservient to you, but one should never forget that Allah will hold you accountable for all that you do. And humbled the earth to us and allowed us to benefit us. Wa ilayhi nushoor – verse 15 (And only to Him is the resurrection) a connector to verse 16.Īllah has created all the magnificent elements arounds us. We don’t know how fickle this life is – we don’t know if or when the earth might take us and swallow us and we won’t have time to do good deeds.
