Explanation
of Surah No 84 of Quran AL-INSHIQAQ (The Splitting Asunder)
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
This
is an early Meccan Surah. The Meccan Pagans were strictly against the Mission
of Prophet Mohammad (Peace And Blessings Upon Him) rejecting the Faith and
mocking the Rise after Death and the Day of Judgment its rewards and
punishments which lead them in the darkness of evil.
In
the beginning Allah explains the passing away of this world to make a way for a
New World of Reality indicated by two facts. First is the heavens which is a
matter will split a sunder. They remain so long as Allah dissolution, they will
obey their Lord and vanish and all their mysteries will be emptied out. Second
the Earth, which is a globe, enclosing within it many secrets will stretch out
by flying away the mountains, buildings etc and will throw up by His command
and bodies of many generations buried in its soil to obey its Lord. And the men
will be resurrected.
Then
Allah says that the people will be divided according to their deeds. The lot
who were given their Books of Record into their Right hand will be the
fortunate ones, who strived hard in their worldly stay and gave the sacrifices
of the worldly lusts and were Righteous Believers. So they will get the best
possible Rewards and many more their Lord. But the lot who rejected the Truth
will get their Lord. But the lot who rejected the Truth will get their Books in
their left hand. In fact they will take their Books with shame from behind
their backs. These are the ones who strived to please themselves to achieve
their lusts and desires of this world. They had no fear of their Lord. In fact
they were lost in the whims of their present world and thought that there is no
catch on them. They were too busy to get
the best of the world for themselves and their families even if they had to
break any Allah’s Bound by many crook ways. So now they will be in the agony of
Blazing Fire crying for death to end their miseries and torments. They never
believed that they will be resurrected and will have to give their accounts.
But Alas! There is no death anymore for them but the taste of Fire forever.
Then
Allah vows to say that nothing is permanent in this life by giving examples of
sun which shines and the people worshipped it which is not even permanent,
which vanishes with the twilight. Then the Night comes and darkness follows,
then the moon appears and stage by stage grows and then decline, same way the
man travels stage by stage and his life is not permanent. That is he has to
return to his goal to answer for his deeds.
Therefore
Allah says as what is wrong with him that he does not pay any attention to his
Lord and prostrate out of respect and humble gratitude to his Lord. But rejects
the Big Day thinking he is responsible and can do what he likes which really is
the core of every evil. So give him the painful news of agonizing Blazing Fire
if he does not repent.
And
to those who are Believers and Righteous, give them the good News of the Best
Reward of the everlasting Bliss of Paradise.
