Surah 14 IBRAHEEM
Proclaim in the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
-
Alif Laam Raa. A manifesto, the one We have revealed to you for the purpose that you bring mankind out of their darkness of utter ignorance whereby they inflict harm and destruction upon each other into the brilliant light of wisdom for their own benefit by way of community building program of their Lord for a proper way of doing things as advised by the almighty to whom belongs the sovereignty of this whole kingdom of universe.
-
It is Allah alone to Whom belongs all that is in all the galaxies including this galaxy yet terrible humiliation and destruction is to be the end of those who reject and oppose His program and do as they please in their ignorance based arrogance.
-
They are those who love rivalry for short term gains for themselves in life of this world at the expense of people of their own communities instead of building a better future for themselves as a single nation and that is how they hinder others from the program of Allah always conspiring to make it look crooked or unworkable. Such people have strayed far off the proper track that works for the good of humanity.
-
We have not sent any messenger but he spoke the language that his people could understand so that he could explain to them Our program clearly. That is why Allah leaves only such people to themselves who refuse to study and follow His program and guides all who learn to understand and follows His program because He is mighty wise provider of rules that regulate all affairs properly.
-
Likewise We sent Moses speaking language of his people with Our manifesto with goals and guideline saying, lead your people out of darkness of utter ignorance whereby they inflict harm and destruction upon each other into the brilliant light of wisdom to make them strive hard as a good organised community based upon Our constitution for bringing about days of prosperity and peace for themselves. Surely in that are proofs about the truth of the message for those who would be steadfast in working for their own betterment.
-
Call to mind the time when Moses said to his people, strive hard always to maintain the blissful program of Allah as an obligation upon you as a nation whereby He saved you from the people of Pharaoh who subjected you to painful suffering by undermining your courageous people by bringing to life divisions among your people thereby making you a nation of weak people. Surely in all of this there was a tremendous struggle put up by you as you were advised by your glorious Lord.
-
Remember when your Lord warned you that if you will work according to My program for your progress and prosperity as a community then I will let that increase for you but if you will instead oppose My program then I will let you face results of your own actions strictly in form of harm and destruction that you inflict upon each other.
-
Moreover Moses made it absolutely clear to you that if you and all the people dwelling on the earth ignored His program it will do no harm to Allah but yourselves.
-
Has the account of those gone before not reached you such as the people of Noah, Aad, Thamud and those who came after them? No one really knows them other than Allah. Their messengers too came to them with same clear guidelines for the same goal but they bit their hands with their mouths in rage and said, we certainly reject and fiercely oppose the program with which you claim to have been sent because we very much doubt the message to which you invite us is really from Allah for our good.
-
Their messengers responded, have you really any reasonable doubt about the goodness of program of Allah Who is the originator of the heavens and the earth? He is the One Who invites you to His program with all necessary proofs so that He relieves you and protects you from the harms and destructions that you inflict upon each other to give you secure future through His program based on unity for prosperity for a set period of time as determined by His universal laws. They said, you are only a human being like ourselves and you only wish to turn us away from our rulers whom our forefathers served because you want to become our ruler. Bring us some miracle that we demand if you want us to change our minds about you and your allegedly divine message.
-
Their messengers replied to them, it is true that we are humans like yourselves but Allah bestows His program for blissful life of mankind on any of His people who are only too pleased to work for His set out mission. It is not part of our job to bring you any miracles as you demand due to your ignorance but to deliver you whatever proofs Allah himself sees fit to furnish you with and He has chosen the guidance itself for that purpose. This is why it is up to people whether they learn to understand the message to implement it for their own good or simply reject it and oppose it without giving it due attention and keep on suffering the self inflicted harm and destruction.
-
So tell us what better reason do we really have not to put our trust in universal laws of Allah when He has guided us to live our lives in ways that can bring us a great life through prosperity and peace in form of brotherhood of mankind working for good of each other as oppose to working against each other as enemies? We will certainly face your persecution with steadfastness till Allah shows both of us who fairs better in the end, the family working as one like us or a divided family that is in rivalry with each other like you leading itself to its destruction. So let those who want to put their trust in anything put their trust in universal laws of Allah, the bedrock for a good human society.
-
Finally the opposers of Our guidance, the harmful and destructive political and religious leadership of the people said to their messengers, abide by our traditional rule or we will expel you from our land. That is why their Lord revealed His forecast to them as law of consequences that We will let these destructive people destroy themselves through inflicting harm and destruction upon each other because this is how We deal with people who refuse to take our advice and instead choose to do as they please.
-
That is how We have passed on the land to you to dwell therein after they are gone by destroying themselves. This is a lesson for such as keep in their minds My role and pay attention to My set out program for them always.
-
As is made obvious for mankind by My message and the events of the past, calling My program into question always proved terrible for every tyrant and oppressor of his people and his supporters and followers.
-
Such a one spreads hell all around himself whereby he satisfies his thirst for hatred and bloodshed of his own people.
-
He partakes in it in steps but never reaches the point of satisfaction and defeat and destruction gradually surrounds him more and more from all sides yet he does not give up his harmful and destructive desire despite his being surrounded by terrible pain and suffering.
-
The likeness of the hard works of those who gather benefits for themselves at the expense of the human community in opposition to the program of their Lord is like that of small amount of gathered ashes which the wind scatters on a stormy day leaving no trace of them to be seen. They will get nothing from their such hard works against Our program save harm and destruction or pain and suffering and this is what straying far away from the program of their lord means for them, that is an unsatisfied regrettable life.
-
Can you therefore not see that Allah has evolved all the heavenly bodies including the heavenly body upon which you live for a set purpose? It serves His plan to erase you and replace you with new generations
-
so it should be obvious to mankind that it is not at all difficult for Allah to fulfil His goal as planned.
-
Rest assured in time gradually all people will be brought under the constitution of Allah to abide by because from among the opponents of the divine rule the influenced masses will start waking up asking questions of those who think of themselves as overwhelmingly influential saying, we have been serving and following you all our lives so can you do anything to free us from the painful suffering we are in that Allah warned us against? They will reply, had we learned from the message of Allah then we could have guided you too. Since we did not so it makes no difference now whether we panic or bear the consequences of our actions with patience because there is no escape for us unless we learn the message and mend our ways accordingly.
-
That is how the harmful and destructive leadership will conclude in the end saying to its masses, surely Allah promised you results of your actions and promise of Allah proved true and in opposition to that I too promised you things but I broke my promise to you. I just asked you to take me for your leader and you just accepted my leadership without ensuring whether I had the power to deliver things or not. So do not blame me for taking advantage of you instead blame your own stupidity for giving yourselves into my control. I am not bothered with your moaning just as you are not bothered with my crying. I now refuse to be taken as your sovereign like before because such transgressors end up in painful suffering as we have experienced ourselves already
-
and as we have learned by now, those who commit to working for peace and strive hard to mend rifts between mankind to bring peace between them will indeed end up in kingdoms within which will flow like rivers all things of their need and desire to live therein according to the program of their Lord. That is how they will accomplish mission of peace and security.
-
Do you not see how Allah shows similarity between the program that gradually leads mankind to peace through prosperity with a tree that gradually develops from a seed into a fully grown tree bearing desirable fruit, which is rooted properly in the ground that is why its branches are well spread and high above the ground?
-
It yields its fruits in every season due to set out universal laws by its Lord. Allah cites these like examples for people so that they struggle hard to spread His manifesto to gather people together on basis of His constitution for a progressive and prosperous peaceful future.
-
Likewise the comparison of a wrong goal with wrong plan of actions is that of a harmful tree with undesirable fruit that fails to develop properly because it is not rooted properly so it can be pulled out of the ground and is therefore unstable.
-
With His program based upon firmly established foundation, Allah makes those who commit to working for peace on its basis steadfast and firmly established in the life of this world as well as in the life to come but Allah lets the opposers of His program go stray because Allah does things as per His plan.
-
Have you not seen the behaviour of those people who have substituted the blissful program of Allah with their make beliefs whereby they drive their nation into a state of no return?
-
Hell is their life therein wherein their energies are continuously consumes without any beneficial results, a terrible state of existence to be in.
-
The political and religious chiefs of people set up rulers other than Allah to mislead their people from His roadmap. Tell them, you the chiefs may enjoy yourself at the expense of your masses for a while but your final destination is going to be painful suffering and destruction.
-
Say to my supporters who have committed to working for peace, strive with this Quran for establishing My system for opening up for all whatever We have provided for the benefit of the mankind individually as well as a community before there comes the time when peaceful change of the system is no longer the option because there is no more tolerance between people and violent uprising becomes inevitable.
-
Thereby let people know that it is Allah alone Who has evolved all the heavenly bodies including this heavenly body wherein you abide and causes water to rain down from the height whereby He brings forth all sorts of fruits for your sustenance. He has made it possible for you to use ships so that they sail through the sea by way of His set out universal laws and so has He brought about rivers for your service.
-
Even the sun and the moon are subjected to His universal laws moving along set out courses and likewise is subjected to His laws the phenomenon of the night and the day for your benefit.
-
He has given you all that you will ever need and more, so much so that even if you decided to use the blessings of Allah, you could never be able to use them yet mankind is going about things the wrong way by ignoring and opposing Our program.
-
Remember the time when Abraham said, My Lord! Make this dwelling place for humanity a place of peace through the program for progress and prosperity thereby protect and secure me and my ideological following from personality cults wherein some make masses take other people as their rulers instead of You my Lord.
-
O Lord! Chiefs and Priests of nations have been using the individuals to rule their people and thereby led the masses away from Your program into their cults therefore only those who follow me in following Your program belong to my nation and as to any who oppose me, they are bound to end up destroyed because You are protector of only those of the mankind who follow Your blissful program.
-
Our Lord! I have settled some of my ideological following in a valley that is not civilised according to Your dignifying constitution. Our Lord! I have done this in the hope that they establish Your ruling system therein by spreading Your program therefore turn the minds of the people of the nations toward them for guidance and provide them with results of their actions for the benefit of the mankind so that they all become a worthy people.
-
Our Lord! Certainly You make known our real motives behind our actions that we try to hide from each other by results of our action as well as those we try to make obvious to each other because nothing is hidden from You, Allah in the earth or the rest of the universe.
-
That is how it should be clear for the mankind that sovereignty belongs to Allah alone who has appointed Ishmael and Isaac as my ideological supporters and successors for the continuation of the set out mission for me as I come close to end of my time. Indeed my Lord takes care of all needs of all things according to His set out program.
-
O Lord! Give me and my ideological supporters courage through Your program to establish and maintain your system. Our Lord! Continue guiding us for fulfil your mission.
-
Thereby our Lord! Protect me and elderly and youngsters in my nation such as are committed to working for peace on the day of sudden violent uprising when people face the results of their own actions.
-
So O my people, be well prepared for the mission of Allah and never let the opposers of His program think that Allah is unaware of what these transgressors are up to. He is only giving them respite from the results of their actions to correct themselves and that is till the tipping point is reached when their eyes will become fixed staring in horror as sudden revolt overwhelms them because of what they will have done.
-
They will be running in terror with their heads uplifted in horror, staring but seeing nothing and their minds utterly vacant of any thoughts as to what they should do to save themselves from harm and destruction. Nothing new because such revolts have already happened amongst many generations in the past and will continue happening till people come to their sense and learn to abide by the given program.
-
O messenger, alert mankind about the time when Our forewarned consequences of their harmful and destructive actions against each other will overtake them and that is when the transgressors will say, our Lord! Give us a little more respite and we will respond to Your invitation with all due respect and support the people who come to us with your program. But it will be said to them, are you not the same people who once swore that you would never come to your destruction due to what you believe and do
-
despite living in places of people who already destroyed each other before you the same way? It was already explained to you how nicely We dealt with them yet due to their own stupidity We made them a lesson for you.
-
They hatched their conspiracies against Our program but their plots were well within control of Allah even though these plots were such that could move masses in their support.
-
But never think that Allah will not fulfil His promise to His messengers that program of Allah will be succeed because Allah rules through power of wisdom.
-
So alert people about the time when the landscape in the land will be changed to a different landscape and the people living above the law will be brought down to abide by constitution of Allah, the One Irresistible.
-
That is how in time to come you will see the transgressors against the rule of Allah bound together as if in chains rising up together against the rule of Allah,
-
their whole program will be wrapped up in gloom and doom because their goals will be covered up in fire of hatred between the mankind.
-
For that reason Allah will reward each such person according to what one does because Allah is strictly swift in calling people to account for their actions.
-
This Quran is a manifesto for all the people so alert them thereby and let them know that Allah alone is the sovereign in this kingdom of the universe, so let the people with understanding strive hard to spread His program for its implementation as a constitution for them.
