Surah 13 AR-RAAD – The Tumult/Chaos

In the name of Allah the gracious the merciful

Alif Laam Meem Raa. These are proofs for making the case for the constitution which is revealed to you from your Lord for the set goal of peace between mankind yet most of the people commit not to working for peace.
Your Lord is Allah alone Who has raised the cosmic bodies without any visible connecting links that you can see therefore His sovereignty extends over all the kingdom whereby He has subjected the sun and the moon to His laws so each is pursuing its set out program for an appointed time and that is how He regulates all affairs in the universe as He has explained through His revelations so that you meet the set standard of your Lord for your peace and prosperity with full confidence.
He it is Who has expanded the earth and brought about therein high mountains and low valleys flowing with water whereby He brought about fruits of every kind resembling each other as well as He brought about the phenomenon of the night by covering the daylight. Surely therein are proofs for those who learn and think about purposes for existence of things, how they are brought about and evolved and the way they work to fulfil their set out purposes.
In the earth there are tracts side by side of gardens of grapes, of cornfields and of palm trees with single and multi trunks, they are all watered with the same water yet we make some of them excel in taste than others. Surely therein are evidences for people who use their intelligence to learn and understand things.
Now if there is anything that seems strange then it is their asking, as we the human community are lying in dust due to rifts and wars, is there any way that we could be raised to dignified level of character again? It is strange because these are the people who oppose the program of their Lord that leads to dignified character so how can they? Because of that they cannot be free of yokes they have put around each other’s necks that are making their lives hard and unbearable and so they are the ones who will end up in yet more agony and suffering and live therein for as long as they live unless they rise up to change things for the betterment of themselves through help of this program.
By not accepting and following the given program they are telling you they rather inflict yet more harm and destruction upon each other than go for peace and prosperity as a united people and due to similar mindset, attitude and behaviour destroyed themselves many of the generations that passed away before them, even though your Lord is provider of protection for the mankind against harm and destruction they inflict upon each other yet He is also strict in enforcing His law of consequences to make people face the results of their own actions.
The opposers of Our goals and guidelines say, why is no proof sent to him by his Lord as per our demand? But do they not realise that your job is to delivering the given message to them? You are a warner against the consequences of not following the given program just like warners that were sent to every nation before them and their revelations carried their own proofs within them needing no miracles that served no purpose.
Allah made obvious for people what each community had to carry out but they excelled in carrying out their responsibilities or fell short of what was expected of them was also made obvious for them as results of their actions. Everything has a set program from Him to follow.
He alone is in a unique position to make obvious for the mankind the future results of their actions as well as the present.
It makes no difference to the way the results are made obvious whether any of you do things in private for yourselves or in the open for the community, whether any of you do things under the cover of darkness or walk about doing things in broad daylight.
For each nation there is a set place among nations according to the set universal laws of Allah that decide its place, there are nations before or in front of it and nations after or behind it that surround it. All are subject to law of cause and effect so they reap what they sow because Allah never changes the condition of a people for the better by suspending His law of cause and effect therefore until they take steps to change themselves as a people for the betterment of themselves no such change can occur and letting things get worse can lead them only to further harm and destruction. Behold, when Allah by His this rule afflicts a people with misfortune it is only because they bring it upon themselves therefore none can ward it off them because that is the set rule of Allah nor can they find any protector against His rule other than following the proper course of actions.
He is the One Who shows you the lightning that causes you to become concerned as well as brings you hope of prosperity by means of heavy laden clouds.
That is how the thunder strives hard to manifest His glory and so do the people on His mission out of loyalty to Him and the mankind. Moreover He sends them to strike down any people who work hard towards their own destruction because they fight against the mission of Allah but He is strict in taking care of His mission.
Invitation to His rule alone is the right one because those who invite to rules of others than Him they can never fulfil them at all. They are like a man with his hands stretched out towards the water as if waiting for it to reach his mouth but it does not. Therefore invitation of those who oppose mission of Allah calling towards rules of other than Him is nothing more than an exercise in vain
because whatever is in the heavens and the earth is bound by universal laws of Allah regardless of having the ability to choose or not and so do even their own shadows be it during the day or be it during the night.
So ask them, who is really then the ruler of all the cosmic bodies including this earth? Say, it is Allah alone and ask them, when this is the actual fact then why do you set up rules by others than Him who in reality do not control any benefit or harm even concerning themselves? Say, are the blind/senseless and the seeing/sensible equal or is the darkness/ignorance same as the light/knowledge? Or have those whom they take for sovereigns created anything like the creation of Allah in their sight that they have the right to be the rulers beside Allah? Say, if that is not the case then why do you not accept Allah as the only creator of all things and therefore the only one with right to sovereignty, the one Irresistible.
He alone sends down water from the heaven and each channel starts flowing according to its measure whereby the torrent bears a swelling foam like the scum which appears from the metals that are melted in the furnace for making ornaments and utensils. By such exemplary arguments Allah proves what is true and what is false. As for the scum, it is thrown away due to being worthless but that which is useful for the mankind remains behind in the land. This is how Allah puts forth exemplary arguments to prove His message clearly.
Excellent results await for the actions of those who respond to the program of their Lord. As for those who do not respond to His manifesto even if they had all that is in the earth and as much more beside that to offer as a ransom in order to save themselves from the painful suffering that is to follow them as a result of their own harmful and destructive actions it will not be accepted of them. They are to land themselves in terrible consequences of their own actions that will make their lives hell and that is a terribly painful state to be in.
Is he who has made himself aware that it is the verifiable truth that has been sent to you by your Lord like the one who deprives himself of knowledge? Only those who learn to understand things properly become sensible and conscientious.
Such as fulfil their constitutional obligations by Allah for the benefit of the human community so they do not fall short of their commitment to rule of Allah for the benefit of human community.
And such as bring together people to form a good human society on the basis of that which is revealed by Allah because they pay attention to program of their Lord as they fear the harmful and destructive consequences of their actions if they do not.
And such as remain steadfastly engaged in mission of their Lord in order to achieve His set out goal of peace between mankind through establishing the community supportive network in order to open up for all Our provided livelihood for them happily and openly in order to turn round the harmful and destructive human society with goodness. These like people are bound to end up in an excellent state of affairs in time.
Blissful kingdoms they will enter and so would such as will mend rifts between people in order to bring about peaceful societies from among their elders and their friends as well as their youngsters and the administrators will enter upon them from every gate
saying, you have achieved peace due to your steadfastness in pursuit of your program therefore excellent indeed is the state of affairs for you in the end.
As for those who fulfil not their constitutional obligation by Allah for the benefit of the mankind after declaring their commitment to the program of Allah and instead of bringing people together to form a good human society as per direction of Allah cause rifts between mankind thereby wars in the land therefore upon such rest humiliation and destruction because such are bound to end up in such state of affairs.
Allah gives vast provisions for any people that work towards that so they end up happy with their worldly life yet the worldly life compared to the hereafter is just a brief enjoyment.
After all this explanation those who oppose our guidance still say, why has no miracle been sent to him by his Lord as per our demand? Say, Allah lets go astray whoever so desires by remaining ignorant of His program and He guides to His program whoever works hard to study it to understand it and implement it to turn it into a reality.
Such are those who commit to working for peace with full confidence in their minds due to program of Allah. Beware! The confidence in minds comes only through study of the program of Allah.
So those who commit to working for peace and strive hard to mend rifts between people to bring about peace there will be blissful life for them and a wonderful kingdom to end up in.
That is why We have sent you among this final people as the final messenger with Our final guidance just like we sent messengers to all the nations gone before this, so that you proclaim to them this program that has been revealed to you yet they stand in opposition to the program of the one Who raises mankind to dignity. Say, He alone is my Lord and there is no sovereign other than Him in this kingdom therefore in His set up universal laws I place my trust and to His set out goal for mankind I turn to accomplish it.
So no miracles are needed for the goal set for the mankind to accomplish because had the purpose of this Quran been to be move the mountains or to slice the earth, or to raise the dead and speak with them then this very Quran would have done all that but the purpose of this Quran is only to guide mankind through this program as to how they should live in this world to have a blissful life for themselves as a single family working together for the good of each other in the name of their Lord in the hope of a better hereafter. So it is up to people to accept this Quran as a guidance or reject it and see the results for themselves for their actions without this guidance. However upon universal laws of Allah depends outcome of all that happens. Do those who have committed to working for peace not realise that had Allah enforced His will He could have forced all the people to follow His program? So those who oppose Our guidance they will continue to be stricken with disaster or it will come near to their homesuntil the promise of Allah comes true in form of revolts or civil wars and wars between nations because Allah breaks not the link between the cause and the effect.

32 Surely messengers before you were mocked even though I gave respite to those who opposed them for learning and understanding their program yet they heeded not so in time l caught them inflicting harm upon each other to the point of destruction, so how true was My warning in their case?

So is there any like Him Who has established such universal laws to bring each person the results of what it does? Not at all yet they live by rules of other than Allah. Say, name any of them that you think truly have the right to rule or are you telling Him of something He is unaware of in this universe or is it just a matter of coining words for you? Indeed to the rejecters and opposers of rule of Allah their own scheming is made pleasing by each other and that is how they are taken away from the program of Allah by each other. So whomever Allah lets stray at his own will has no guide to guide him.
Such will suffer in this world and their suffering will only get worst in time to come as there is nothing to protect them other than the program of Allah which they themselves have decided to reject and oppose.
A description of the blissful kingdom which those who are consistent with the program of Allah for the benefit of humanity are told to bring about is that rivers of livelihood should flow throughout it and its provisions should be continuous to provide shelter from all sort of troubles and hardships. Such should be the land of those who are consistent with program of Allah for the good of mankind and in comparison the land of those who reject and oppose His program will a place full of pain and suffering.
This is why those to whom We have given the scriptures before this and they really act upon it rejoice at what has been sent to you though there are others in the same groups who reject some parts of it. Say, I am ordered to serve rule of Allah alone and not set up any other rulers with Him. Upon His set up universal laws I rely not magic or miracles and towards His program I turn for guidance which is realistic and practical.
And this is the very purpose for which We have sent Our framework for governance of Our kingdom in a language that makes things clear for mankind for all times to come. However if you the followers of Our program were to follow the make beliefs of opposers of Our program after Our set out goals and guidelines have reached you then you will have nothing to protect you from falling victim to harms and destructions that Allah has already warned you against.
And for the very same reason of implementing Our program for the benefit of the mankind We sent messengers before you whereby We brought about for them supporters by means of ideological following. It was never fitting for a messenger to bring people any proof save the program of Allah because for each period there was a clearly set out program.
Allah erased or established nations as per His declared programs because with Him rested the right and the responsibility for originating all the programs for the good of the mankind.
For that reason O messenger, whether We show you some of what We have foretold them or We terminate your life before that matters not because your job is to deliver Our message but with Our set out universal laws rests their accountability.
Do they not see that We bring about the gradual contraction of the earth from all its sides due to Our set out universal laws? Therefore it should be clear to you the mankind that right to rule belongs to Allah alone and there is none to override His set out program because He is strict in holding all things within their set limits.
Behold! Those before them schemed against Our programs but all their schemes were within set limits of Allah. He makes obvious the results of all that which each nation does therefore in time those who oppose His program will come to know who is to end up in a blissful kingdom.
Yet those who oppose Our program say, you are not a messenger. Say, the universal laws set out by Allah are sufficient as a proof between me and you as well as the person who has learned and understood His book.
