SURAH AL-HADID
The Iron
(Madnie, Surah # 57, Verses 29 )
HE IS ALLAH
57:1 Whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah, and He is the All-Mighty, All-Wise.
57:2 His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, It is He Who gives life and causes death; and He is Able to do all things.
57:3 He is the First and the Last, the Most High and the Most Near (nothing is nearer than Him). And He is the All-Knower of everything.
57:4 It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established His Dominion over the Throne. He knows whatever enters into the earth, what comes out of it, what descends from the sky, and what ascends to it. He is with you wherever you may be and He is Well Aware of what you do.
57:5 His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And to Allah return all the matters (for decision).
57:6 He causes night to enter into day and day into night. He knows best what all hearts contain.
BELIEVE IN ALLAH & HIS MESSENGER
57:7 Believe in Allah and His Messenger and spend out of that in which He has made you successors. For those who have believed among you and spent, there will be a great reward.
57:8 And what is the matter with you that you do not believe in Allah! While the Messenger invites you to believe in your Lord, and He (Allah) has indeed taken your covenant, if you are real believers.
57:9 It is He who sends down upon His Servant [Muhammad] verses of clear evidence that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And indeed, Allah is to you Kind and Merciful.
SPEND IN HIS CAUSE
57:10 And what is the matter with you that you spend not in the Cause of Allah? And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. Not equal among you are those who spent and fought before the conquering (of Makkah) (with those among you who did so later). Such are higher in degree than those who spent and fought afterwards. But to all, Allah has promised the best (reward). And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
GOODLY LOAN( KARZA-E-HASNA)
57:11 Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan, then Allah will increase it manifold to his credit (in repaying), and he will have a good reward (i.e. Paradise).
BELIEVERS LIGHT ON SIRAT
57:12 On the Day you shall see the believing men and the believing women, their light running forward before them and by their right hands. Glad tidings for you this Day! Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever! Truly, this is the great success!
57:13 On the Day when the hypocrites men and women will say to the believers: "Wait for us! Let us get something from your light!" It will be said: "Go back to your rear! And search for your own light!" So a wall will be put up between them, with a gate therein. Inside it will be mercy, and outside it will be torment."
57:14 (The hypocrites) will call the believers: "Were we not with you?" The believers will reply: "Yes! But you led yourselves into temptations, you looked forward for our destruction; you doubted (in Faith); and you were deceived by false desires, till the Command of Allah came to pass. And the chief deceiver (Satan) deceived you in respect of Allah."
57:15 So this Day no ransom shall be taken from you (hypocrites), nor of those who disbelieved. Your abode is the Fire, that is the proper place for you, and worst indeed is that destination.
SUBMISSIVE
57:16 Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened;And many of them were Fasiqun (rebellious)
57:17 Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its death! Indeed We have made clear the Ayat to you, if you but understand.
SPEND
57:18 Verily, those who give Sadaqat (zakat, donations), men and women, and lend to Allah a goodly loan (spend to spread Islam), it shall be increased manifold (to their credit), and theirs shall be an honorable good reward.
57:19 And those who have believed in Allah and His messengers - those are [in the ranks of] the supporters of truth and the martyrs, with their Lord. For them is their reward and their light. But those who have disbelieved and denied Our verses - those are the companions of Hellfire.
WORDLY LIFE
57:20 Know that the worldly life is only a game, a temporary attraction, a means of boastfulness among yourselves and a place for multiplying your wealth and children. It is like the rain which produces plants that are attractive to the unbelievers. These plants flourish, turn yellow, and then become crushed bits of straw. In the life hereafter there will be severe torment or forgiveness and mercy from Allah. The worldly life is only an illusion.
57:21 Race toward forgiveness from your Lord and to reach Paradise whose width is like the width of the heavens and earth, prepared for those who believed in Allah and His messengers. That is the bounty of Allah which He gives to whom He wills, And Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty.
EVERYTHING IS WRITTEN
57:22 Whatever hardships you face on earth and in your souls were written in the Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz),before the creation of the souls. Verily, that is easy for Allah.
57:23 So that you would not grieve over what you have lost nor become too happy about what Allah has granted to you. And Allah likes not prideful boasters.
57:24 Those who are stingy ( to wealth) and promote stinginess among people. And whoever turns away ˹should know that˺ Allah ˹alone˺ is truly the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
MESSENGERS
57:25 We sent Our Messengers with clear evidence (to support their truthfulness), and sent with them the Book and the Balance so that people would maintain justice. We sent down iron - in which there is strong power and benefit for the people - so that Allah would know who would help Him and His Messenger without seeing the unseen. Allah is All-powerful and Majestic.
57:26 And indeed, We sent Nuh and Ibrahim, and placed in their offspring Prophethood and Scripture, and among them there is he who is guided, but many of them are Fasiqun.
57:27 Then, We sent after them, Our Messengers, and We sent 'Isa, son of Maryam, and gave him the Injeel (Gospel). And We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him, compassion and mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allah therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right observance. So We gave those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
GAIN LIGHT TO WALK ON PULSARAT
57:28 O you who have believed, fear Allah and believe in His Messenger; He will [then] give you a double portion of His mercy and make for you a light by which you will walk and forgive you; and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
57:29 (Have fear of God and believe in His Messenger) so that the followers of the Bible will know that they can receive no reward from God. They should know that all favors are in the hands of God. He grants them to whomever He wants. The favors of God are great.
