Surat Al An`am (61-70)

{وَهُوَ الْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِ وَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُم حَفَظَةً حَتَّىَ إِذَا جَاء أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا وَهُمْ لاَ يُفَرِّطُونَ} [الأنعام: 61]

61- He is the Omnipotent and the Supremely to Whom everything subjects to His Greatness. Nothing disables Him and nothing prevents Him from what He wants to do with His Servants. Moreover, He sends angels to you to count your deeds, good and evil, until the moment of death comes to you. Angels who help the Angel of Death take away their lives and they do not neglect, so they take their souls to their final destination, whether in high place in Paradise or in Hell.

{ثُمَّ رُدُّواْ إِلَى اللّهِ مَوْلاَهُمُ الْحَقِّ أَلاَ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَهُوَ أَسْرَعُ الْحَاسِبِينَ} [الأنعام: 62]

62- Then worshippers shall be returned after the resurrection and gathering to the place of showing and questioning in order that their Lord and the One who owns the Day of Recompense to judge and reward them for their actions with justice. He can judge between His Creatures on that Day, for if He reckons, His Reckoning will be fast. He shall reckon all the people by Himself without seeking help of others fast and shortly despite their plenty actions.

{قُلْ مَن يُنَجِّيكُم مِّن ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ تَدْعُونَهُ تَضَرُّعاً وَخُفْيَةً لَّئِنْ أَنجَانَا مِنْ هَـذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ} [الأنعام: 63]

63- Tell them: who can save you of hardships and horrors that befall you during your sea journeys in which waves surround you from all sides and draught throw you in the middle of the sea or in deserts or in high mountains bottomless valleys, or natural incidents take place by divine decree made the earth quakes, volcanoes burst, and tornados seethe or diseases attack you without finding a cure. So, they resort to Him and seek His Help secretly and publicly, by heart and tongue, sincere to Him and do not supplicate but Him and you say: If He saved us from this distress, we would be thankful to His Great Favors and fulfilled their due rights as should be.

{قُلِ اللّهُ يُنَجِّيكُم مِّنْهَا وَمِن كُلِّ كَرْبٍ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ} [الأنعام: 64]

64- Tell them: Allah can rescue you from these distresses and more then you associate others with Him in worship and do not keep your promises.

{قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى أَن يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَاباً مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعاً وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُم بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ انظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الآيَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْقَهُونَ} [الأنعام: 65]

65- Say to them: Verily, Allah is Able to afflict you and throw you in destruction and on torturing you after you go back to polytheism -He saved you from the distress and hardship that befell you- with a torment from above, such as the shriek, stones, wind, and flood or from underneath, such as earthquake and collapse or with another types of penalties. He may cause confusion to you through the different desires and afflict some of you one other by torment and killing. Behold! how do we advise, warn, explain, repeat things for them, and vary them with different styles so that they may understand, reflect, and realize what they are asked to do.

{وَكَذَّبَ بِهِ قَوْمُكَ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ قُل لَّسْتُ عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍ} [الأنعام: 66]

66- The polytheists from your people denied the Qur'an while it is the truthful book which contains no doubt. Say to them: I am not a watcher over you nor I am going to compel you to accept Islam by, but I am a Messenger who conveys the message, so those who want to believe, let them believe and who wants to disbelieve, let him disbelieve and the consequence of the wrongdoer will be against himself.

{لِّكُلِّ نَبَإٍ مُّسْتَقَرٌّ وَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ} [الأنعام: 67]

67- For every news there is a reality that ends to even after a while, including your torment, then you can distinguish the truth from falsehood and truth from laying, sooner in worldly life, or later in the Hereafter and you shall know that in both cases.

{وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّى يَخُوضُواْ فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ وَإِمَّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلاَ تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرَى مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ} [الأنعام: 68]

68- If you see polytheists speak about the Qur'an by denial and mockery, abandon them and do not sit with them until they speak about something else and when Satan makes you forget then you remembered, do not sit after that with the people who exceeded the truth with denying and stubbornness.

Some scholars said that the Ayah was abrogated with the Ayah of As-Sayf (Surat At-Tawbah: 29).

{وَمَا عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ وَلَـكِن ذِكْرَى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ} [الأنعام: 69]

69- There is no sin on the believers who keep away from their gatherings if polytheists speak about that but they should remind them to stop that out of shyness or undesirability of harming them.

{وَذَرِ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُواْ دِينَهُمْ لَعِباً وَلَهْواً وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَذَكِّرْ بِهِ أَن تُبْسَلَ نَفْسٌ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ اللّهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلاَ شَفِيعٌ وَإِن تَعْدِلْ كُلَّ عَدْلٍ لاَّ يُؤْخَذْ مِنْهَا أُوْلَـئِكَ الَّذِينَ أُبْسِلُواْ بِمَا كَسَبُواْ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْفُرُونَ} [الأنعام: 70]

70- Leave the disbelievers whom were forced to embrace Islam, but they mocked at, spoiled, did not care about it, and were deceived with the delights of the world, such as pleasures and children until they denied the resurrection. So, remind with the Qur'an and warn the people against Allah's indignation and torment so that no soul should be locked or reckoned because of its evil actions. It has no supporter or someone near to intercede for it on the Day of Recompense because then the whole matter will be for Allah Alone.

If such a soul had exerted everything it can do and sacrificed, it would not have deprived. Those are the people who took their religion as fun and joy and as a result they were reckoned for their evil deeds, deprived of the reward, and were turned over to torment. They shall drink of a very hot water that cuts their bowels and a great fire burns their bodies and hearts as a retribution for their disbelief and rejecting the messengers.
