Surat Al An`am (51-60)

{وَأَنذِرْ بِهِ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَن يُحْشَرُواْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ لَيْسَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلاَ شَفِيعٌ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ} [الأنعام: 51]

51- Warn and admonish by this Qur'an those who believe in the Day of Recompense those who the reckoning of their Lord seek His Reward, and fear His Punishment. They do not have a guide or a support to help them except Allah so that they may fear their Lord by this admonition.

{وَلاَ تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ مَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ وَمَا مِنْ حِسَابِكَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَتَطْرُدَهُمْ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ} [الأنعام: 52]

52- Do not dismiss the believers who worship their Lord, remember Him, and ask Him day and night away from you because they seek the pleasure of Allah in complete sincerity and without showing off nor ostentation, . Moreover, you should draw them near you and sit with them because you are not entitled to reckon them or to count their sustenance. Likewise, they will not be reckoned for you and if you keep them away, you have exceeded the proper limits of truth.

The meaning is: not to expel them. It is a lesson for Muslims not to do so.

{وَكَذَلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لِّيَقُولواْ أَهَـؤُلاء مَنَّ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّن بَيْنِنَا أَلَيْسَ اللّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِالشَّاكِرِينَ} [الأنعام: 53]

53- And thus we try the people with one another, the poor with the rich and vice versa, the noble with the lower and vice versa in order that the haughty polytheists say about the Companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him), who, most of them, were weak and slaves in the beginning of the mission: Are they the ones whom Allah guided to faith? Are they the best among us? Are we followers for them while they are the slaves and the poor and we are the leaders and the rich? Kick them out, perhaps if you kick them out, we shall follow you.

Is not Allah acquainted with their conditions and consciousness, therefore guided them to the truth? Is not Allah acquainted with those who thank Him for the blessing of faith and He accepted them?

{وَإِذَا جَاءكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا فَقُلْ سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ أَنَّهُ مَن عَمِلَ مِنكُمْ سُوءاً بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابَ مِن بَعْدِهِ وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَنَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ} [الأنعام: 54]

54- If the pious believers came to you, give them glad tiding with peace and safety from Allah. Allah (Glory be to Him) decreed on himself, out of benevolence, that those who commit a sin is an ignorant then ask for forgiveness and repent to Allah, abandoned it, and made up his mind not to repeat it Allah forgives and bestows wide mercy on him.

{وَكَذَلِكَ نفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ وَلِتَسْتَبِينَ سَبِيلُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ} [الأنعام: 55]

55- Thus, we explain the proofs to show the description of the obedient and the disobedient so that you, O Prophet, could figure out the way which people used to do with the past messengers to deal with them with what is suitable.

{قُلْ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ قُل لاَّ أَتَّبِعُ أَهْوَاءكُمْ قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ إِذاً وَمَا أَنَاْ مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ} [الأنعام: 56]

56- Tell those who insist on polytheism because of their corrupted desires: I was prevented to worship the alleged gods that do not hear nor speak and do not harm nor benefit. And say to them: I do not follow your aberrant desires and your false ideas. If you do this, you will be aberrant and away from the truth.

{قُلْ إِنِّي عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّي وَكَذَّبْتُم بِهِ مَا عِندِي مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِهِ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلّهِ يَقُصُّ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْفَاصِلِينَ} [الأنعام: 57]

57- Tell polytheists also: I have a clear proof from Allah which He revealed to you while you lied and associated others with Him in worship. Now, I do not have the torment that you used to haste to fall on you. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to frighten them, telling them that Allah will punish them if they lie and disobey. Verily, hasting or delaying the judgment belong to Allah Alone who may inflict you with it now or delay it for a while. He is Wise in His Judgment and has the true judgment for He is the best judge.

{قُل لَّوْ أَنَّ عِندِي مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِهِ لَقُضِيَ الأَمْرُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَاللّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالظَّالِمِينَ} [الأنعام: 58]

58- Tell them: If the torment that you haste is in my hand, the matter will have ended while ago and the destruction would have fallen on you. I will not give respite while denying me and mocking at what I came with. Allah is Well-Acquainted with polytheists, their conditions, and with what they deserve of rushing or delaying the torment, therefore, their final end was not made in my hand.

{وَعِندَهُ مَفَاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ لاَ يَعْلَمُهَا إِلاَّ هُوَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَمَا تَسْقُطُ مِن وَرَقَةٍ إِلاَّ يَعْلَمُهَا وَلاَ حَبَّةٍ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الأَرْضِ وَلاَ رَطْبٍ وَلاَ يَابِسٍ إِلاَّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ} [الأنعام: 59]

59- Only Allah has the treasures of the Unseen, so no one knows it but Him; including the torment that you haste. So, I do not know whether it will take place or not and if it will befall, when that will happen? Allah (Glory be to Him) knows everything that is going on earth, in land and sea, and knows the number of the fallen leaves and the leaves remain on trees. There is nothing but He knows its movements and conditions. There is no grain inside the earth, no matter if it is far and dark, inanimate, plant, animal, or anything but it is recorded in the knowledge of Allah and on Al Lawh-ul-Mahfuzh (the Preserved Tablet).

{وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَتَوَفَّاكُم بِاللَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُم بِالنَّهَارِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُكُمْ فِيهِ لِيُقْضَى أَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ} [الأنعام: 60]

60- He is Allah Who takes away souls if you sleep at night and knows what you have done in daytime then wakes you up after your sleep to live your fixed time life in full then you die and stand up before Allah for reckoning. He shall tell you of your actions in these days and nights and reward you for them, either good or bad.
