}{In the Name of Allh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Perish the two hands of Ab Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet), and perish he!

His wealth and his children (etc.) will not benefit him!

He will be burnt in a Fire of blazing flames!

And his wife too, who carries wood

.

In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad (palm fibre).

Tafseer of Suraatul MasadbyAllamah as-Shaykh ibn Saadi

almuflihoon.com

Abu lahab is the uncle of the Messenger (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) , and he used to

be stern in his enmity [ and harming ] the Messenger (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) .

He had no religion , nor any respect of the ties of relations may Allaah destroy him .

So Allaah degraded him with this great affliction. And this is continuous until the Day of

Judgment.

So Allaah said :

}{

Perish the two hands of Ab Lahab

Meaning : full of lose and misery; are his hands ,

}{ and perish he!

And [so] he will never have any gain ..

The Tafseer :


3/58

almuflihoon.com

}{ His wealth will not benefit him!

That which he used to have and transgress with.

It will not , be of any gain ; thus it will Not reduce anything from the punishment of

Allaah ; when the punishment descends on him .

}{

He will be burnt in a Fire of blazing flames!

Meaning : the Fire will encompass him from all directions , him [and] .

}{

And his wife too, who carries wood

And she too , used to be stern in her enmity and harming the Messenger (sallahAllaahu

alayhi wasallam) .

Co operating her and her husband in transgression and sin , and inflicting harm .


4/58

almuflihoon.com

And she used to do all that which is possible ; in her harming of the Messenger

(sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) .

And she used to bear the main plans and responsibility [of these plans] , just like the

person who carries the wood on her back.

She has been promised on her neck , a rope .

}{

Of masad

Meaning : made of fiber

Or [another meaning of the verse] ; it is that she will be carrying firewood for her

husband , while in the hell fire .

While [she is] being tied with a rope of fiber on her neck.

And in all : this is one of the clearest signs ; from the signs of Allaah.

Indeed Allaah sent down this Surah while Abu lahab and his wife had not yet died : and

He informed them , that they will be punished in the fire, and it will surely happen.

And what necessitates that ; is that they will not accept Islaam.

And surely it occurred ; as Allaah , The Knower of the Apparent and the Unseen : had

informed.

In the Name of Allh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

*

When comes the Help of Allh, and the conquest (of Makkah),

*

And you see that the people enter Allh's religion (Islm) in crowds,

.

So glorify the Praises of your Lord, and ask for His Forgiveness. Verily, He is the One

Who accepts the repentance and forgives.

Tafseerof Suraatun- Nasrby Allamah as-Shaykh ibn Saadi


6/58

almuflihoon.com

The Tafseer :

In this noble surah is : news of glad tidings , and a command for His Messenger upon the

occurrence of this glad tidings.

And also ; [the surah contains] an indication and a sign of the consequences of that

occurrence.

As for the glad tidings : they are the glad tidings of The Help of Allaah upon His

Messenger , and the conquest of Makkah , and the entering of the people into Allh's

religion (Islm) in crowds : such that most of them will become its [the religions] people

and its supporters after they were its enemy.

And this did occur , as proclaimed .

As for the command which came as a consequence of this victory and conquest : it is the

command that Allaah gave His Messenger ; that he should thank Allaah because of this ,

and to glorify His Praises, and ask for His Forgiveness.

And as for the signs and consequences [of the occurrences] , then there are two of

them :

1. A sign that Help will continue for this religion .

And that it increases with the glorifying of His Praises, and by His Messenger asking for

His Forgiveness .

Indeed this is from the giving of thanks. And Allaah says :


7/58

almuflihoon.com

}{"If you give thanks (by accepting Faith and worshipping none but Allh), I will give you

more (of My Blessings)

[ Suratu Ibraheem : 7 ]

And this occurred and happened ; during the era of the Khulafaa ar-rashideen ( The

Rightly Guided Khalifas) , and [also those] after them ; from this Ummah (nation) .

The Help of Allaah never ceased .

To the point where Islaam reached to the places where other religions never reached ,

and people entered into it [ in crowds ]; in a way people hadnt accepted any other

religion.

Until the Ummah began innovating what is in opposition to the commands of Allaah ,

then : Allaah tried them by dividing their stance , and dispersal of their command : Sothen their occurred what occurred.

And [ on top of this ] , by The Mercy of Allaah and His Kindness this Nation and this

Religion: cannot be changed by mere imaginations , nor is it in risk [because Allaah has

promised to preserve it] .

2. The second consequence is : that the death of The Prophet sallahAllaahu alayhi

wasallam has drawn near and close.

And this is shown by His command (on him sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam).

(The command to seek forgiveness).


8/58

almuflihoon.com

It is known that the virtuous actions are usually ended by seeking forgiveness : for

example Salaat (prayer) , Hajj (pilgrimage) , and other acts.

So Allaah commanded His Prophet to glorify His Praises, and ask for His Forgiveness : in

this instant.

A sign that ; his time (of death) has come near.

So he should start preparing and getting ready to meet His Lord.

And that he should end his affair (life) , by doing the most virtuous of deeds. (may

Allaahs mercy and blessings be upon him).

So he sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam used to make his primary affair the Quran ,

And he used to say in his prayer ; he used to increase in his rukoo (bowing) and sujood

(prostration) saying :

"."Far removed from all imperfections are You , O Allaah , and all perfect praise is for

You ; may Lord forgive me.1

*Say [ O Muhammad (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) to these Mushrikn and Kfirn]:

"O Al-Kfirn (disbelievers in Allh, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His

Messengers, in the Day of Resurrection, and in Al-Qadar, etc.)!

*

"I worship not that which you worship,

* "Nor will you worship that which I worship.

*

"And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping.

*

"Nor will you worship that which I worship.

."To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islmic Monotheism)."

Tafseer of Suraatul Kaafirunby Allamah as-Shaykh ibn Saadi


10/58

almuflihoon.com

Meaning ; say to the disbelievers clearly and openly :

"I worship not that which you worship,

Meaning : distance yourself from that which they worship -other than Allaah- openly

and secretly.

"Nor will you worship that which I worship.

Because you lack ikhlaas (complete sincerity) in your worship to Him ; [you dont single

Him out alone] .

So your acts of worship (Ibaada) , which are based upon shirk (setting up partners to

Allaah) ; are not regarded as Ibaada ( acts of worship to Allaah).

Then He repeated this .

So the first time is to show that , this is a negation of the carrying out of these actions.

And the second time is to declare that , this has become a bounding and obligatory

description.

And thus ;

A distinction was drawn between the two groups.

And a differentiation [was clear] between the two parties .

The Tafseer :


11/58

almuflihoon.com

So He [Allaah] said :

"To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islmic Monotheism)."

Just as Allaah [also] said :

}{ Say (O Muhammad sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam to mankind): "Each one does according to

Shakilatihi (i.e. his way or his religion or his intentions, etc.), 1

And also :

}{ You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!"

For he who makes you angry - he will be cut off.

Tafseer of Suraatul KawtharbyAllamah as-Shaykh ibn Saadi


13/58

almuflihoon.com

Allaah The Exalted , says to His Messenger Muhammad sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam -

promising :

Verily, We have granted you Al-Kawthar ;

Meaning : abundant good , and great favours which will be given By Allaah to His

Messenger sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam.

And from those which will be given to him on the day of judgment is : a river which is

called Al-Kawthar; and also the pond which is called ; Al-Kawthar.1

Its length ; is the distance of one month, and its width ; is the distance of one month ,

Its water is more white than milk , and more sweet than honey ,

Its drinking vessels are many and spread like the number of stars in the sky .

Whoever drinks from it one time ; will never become thirsty ever after.

1In his tafseer , Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen explains -what means - : The river in Paradise given to him

(sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) is al-kawthar ; and the hawdh (the pond) [where he (sallahAllaahu alayhi

wasallam) will meet his followers and let them drink from it ] ; after the Judgement has been completed ,

is also called a l-kawthar.

This is because the water of the hawdh , is from the river which is based in the Highest Paradise.

So the river pours its water into the pond which is out of Paradise -and will be present on the day of

Judgement- for those who truly followed the sunnah of the prophet (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam).

The Tafseer :


14/58

almuflihoon.com

And when He (Allaah) mentioned His great favours on him (sallahAllaahu alayhi

wasallam) ;

He ordered him to thank Him for these ;

So He said :

Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only).

Specified in mention ; are these two types of worship : because they are from the best

of types of worship , and [they are] among the supreme ways of seeking closeness [to

Allaah].

And this is indeed because :

Salaat (prayer) implies humility , and submission of the heart and the limbs : to Allaah.

And it is an expression of the various forms of servitude.

And in slaughtering , is getting close to Allaah by :

- (offering )the best of which the slave has , from the animals to be slaughtered.

- giving out the wealth which is loved and sought by ; by the soul.


15/58

For he who makes you angry..

Meaning : one who makes you angry , defames you , and dispraises you.

..he will be cut off

Meaning : cut off from every good. His actions are cut-off , and his mention is cut-off.

As for Muhammad (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) ; then he is truthfully complete.

The one who has complete rights over the other creations ; [and from these is ] :

- Raising his mentioning (praising him) ,

- And giving him abundant support ,

- And following and sticking to his methodology - sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam.

Tafseer of Suraatul MaaunbyAllamah as-Shaykh ibn Saadi


17/58

almuflihoon.com

The Exalted says - censuring [and rebuking] those who have neglected His right , and

the rights of His slaves [He says] :

} {

Have you seen him who denies the Recompense ?..

Meaning : denying the resurrection and the rewarding of actions .

So , he does not believe with what the Messengers came with.

} {..That is he who repulses the orphan (harshly),

Meaning : he repels him [the orphans] with bitterness and harshness. And due to the

hardness of his heart ; he does not have mercy on the orphan .

And also (this is) due to the fact that: he does not hope for a good reward , neither does

he fear the punishment.

The Tafseer :


18/58

almuflihoon.com

} { And urges not..

Other people

} {

the feeding of Al Miskn (the poor),

Rather, foremost : he -himself- does not give food to the poor ones

} {

So woe unto those performers of Salt (prayers)

That is : those who are continuous in observing the prayers :

BUT, they are those who

} {

Who delay their Salt (prayer) from their stated fixed times,

Meaning : they are neglectful on it , they do not establish it in its time , they leave out its

pillars : and all this is due to : lack of their concern in observing the commands of Allaah.


19/58

almuflihoon.com

Thus they are neglectful in the Salt (prayer) ; which is the most important obedience

and the best means of getting closer to Allaah.

Neglectfulness and mindlessness concerning the Salt (prayer) ; is what renders a

person to deserve the rebuking , the warnings , and the blame.

But as for loss of attention during the Salt (prayer) ; then this might occur In

everybody , even the prophet (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam).

And Thus , Allaah describes these people [who are neglectful concerning observing theirprayers] that : they are hard-hearted , lacking mercy , and are people ofriyaa (doing

actions for other than Allaah : to show off).

So He said :

} { Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men),

Meaning : they just do the actions because of showing off to people

} {..And refuse to give Al-M'n .

Meaning : they hold back giving out things ; things of which if they were to give them

out , it wont even harm them a little : like a utensil , or a bucket , or an axe , and

things like these : of which it has been custom to misuse them and take them for

granted.

So these people ; due to their severity : they refuse to give out Al-M'n (small

kindnesses etc.) : so what about those things which are greater ?


20/58

almuflihoon.com

In this Surah :

- There is an incitement and emphasis in being generous [ and kind ] to the orphans ,

and the poor people.

And being prompt in this action.

- And the incitement and emphasis of observing the prayer and establishing it on time.

- Having ikhlaas (sincerity of intention to Allaah alone) in it [the prayer] ; and in all the

actions.

- And the urging and encouragement of doing the good deeds.

- And being freely generous in the small deeds ; like lending out utensils , or buckets , or

a book , and things like these.

This is because , Allaah has rebuked and censured the one who does not do this.

And , Allaah The Most Exalted, is the One who knows best , that which is right.

And All perfect praise is for Allaah ,The Lord of everything .

The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you,

Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!

The Most Exalted says ; reprimanding His slaves due to their busying themselves from

what they have been created for. And that is : worshipping Him alone with no partners ,

knowing Him (His attributes and Names) , turning to Him , and giving precedence to His

love ; before anything else.

[He says]

}{ It diverts you ..

From that which has been mentioned..

}{The piling up

And He did not mention the thing which is piled up (gathered) ; this is to generalize all

those things which the gatherers gather up , and all those things which the proud ones

are proud about : from the piling up of wealth , children , friends , armies , servants ,

and fame , and all other things . Of which the gatherers gather only to rival another ,

and not with the intention of having ikhlaas (sincerity of actions only) to Allaah The

Exalted.

So your heedlessness , and your invalidity (vainness) [and your busying yourselves]

continued.

}{

Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).

Then the veil [of heedlessness] was removed from you , but this is when it is impossible

to reject it [and when it is impossible to start life anew].

The Tafseer :


23/58

almuflihoon.com

And in His statement

}{ Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).

This proves :

That the barzakh (life in the grave) is a place which is intended to be a window (a

transit) to the ever lasting abode. This is proved by the fact that Allaah called them

visitors and not residents.

So this shows that there is resurrection , and recompense of the actions : in the

everlasting abode which does not end.

And because of this , He called them with His statement :

Nay! You shall come to know!

Again, Nay! You shall come to know!

Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge

Meaning : If you knew with a knowledge that reaches and affects the heart - what is to

come for you : you would not have been distracted by the piling up , and (instead) you

would have hastened in doing the good deeds.

But the lack of certain knowledge has led you to what you are seeing ;


24/58

almuflihoon.com

Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!

Meaning you will reach the Judgment , and you will see the Hell ; which Allaah has

promised the disbelievers

And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight

Meaning : (real sight) ; the seeing of the eye..

Just as Allaah said :

}{And the Mujrimn (criminals, polytheists, sinners), shall see the Fire and apprehend

that they have to fall therein. And they will find no way of escape from there.

[Suratul Kahf : 53]

.Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the favours.

[The favours] which We bestowed upon you in the life of the world. Were you steadfast

in being thankful of these , and did you observe the rights of Allaah pertaining to these ,

and you didnt use them in doing sins ? ;

[if it is so] then He will bestow favours on you , favours which are more exalted than

those.

Or were you deceived by them , and never stood in being thankful of them. Rather

maybe you even used them in sinning !?

[if it is so] Then you will be punished for that.

[Just as] The Exalted said :

}

{

On the Day when those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allh Islmic Monotheism)

will be exposed to the Fire (it will be said): "You received your good things in the life of

the world, and you took your pleasure therein. Now this Day you shall be recompensed

with a torment of humiliation.

Meaning : complete creation ; proportionate limbs , erect in stature. He is not devoid ofanything which he needs ; internally or externally.

And on top of this enormous blessing which obligates that he be upright in being

thankful of it : [rather] Most of the creation [humans] are deviating from being thankful

to The granter of all blessings and grants , [and they are] busy with amusement and vain

talk , [and they are] pleased with the most despicable and lowest things for themselves ,

the lowest of the lowest.

Except those whom Allaah blessed and granted them with Eeman (belief), and

righteous actions , and highly virtuous manners

manners] : For them are elevated degrees / and status and ..

}{

..a reward without end ...

Meaning ; ever-lasting and without interruption.

Rather it is pleasures which are always available , and happiness which is concurrent ,

and delights in vast abundance : [all of these are] in an abode which never ends , and

blessings which are never interrupted , of which the edibles [foods and drinks] and the

shadows [on thrones] are ever present

}{

..Then what (or who) causes you to deny the Recompense (i.e. Day of Resurrection)?..

Meaning : So , O you human being ! What is it that deceives you and makes you deny

the Day of rewarding of deeds ?

While you have seen so many of the signs of Allah which should have reached you to a

stage of certainty [regarding that Day][And also while you have seen so many of the blessings and grants of Allah] which

necessitate for you that you should not deny anything which you are informed about

Him.

}{.

Is not Allh the Best of judges?

And does His perfect wisdom necessitate that He leaves the creatures wanton free?

Such that He does not command them ; or forbid them , nor reward them ; or punish

them ?

But as such ; The One who created man stage after stage - and he gave them blessings

and grants , and good things which cannot be enumerated , and He cultivated them into

the best mode of life [by Islam] ; then there is no doubt that The One who did all this ;

He will surely return them [the creatures] to the abode which is their ever lasting abode.

Which is indeed the abode which they are created for, and to it they are moving to.

And removed from you your burden,

Which weighed down your back?

And raised high your fame?

So verily, with the hardship, there is relief,

Verily, with the hardship, there is relief

So when you have finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allh's worship

And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your intentions and hopes and) your invocations.

Tafseer of Suraatu SharhbyAllamah as-Shaykh ibn Saadi

Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam)?


41/58

almuflihoon.com

The Exalted says , while showing the grateful obligation on His Prophet (sallahAllaahu

alayhi wasallam) :

{ }Have We not opened your breast for you ?

Meaning : we expanded it for the legislation of the religion, and for the call to the path

of Allaah. And for exemplifying you with the honourable characters, and a preparationtowards the here-after, and also making it easy for you to do the righteous deeds ; thus

you dont have a closed heart which feels discomfort in doing good, and you will never

find it to be holding back in doing good.

}{ And removed from you your burden,

..Meaning your sins.

}{ Which weighed down

Meaning : were heavy on..

}{your back?Just as Allaah said :

}{. That Allh may forgive you your sins of the past and the future..

[Suraatul Fath : 2]

The Tafseer :


42/58

almuflihoon.com

}{..And raised high your fame?

Meaning : we elevated your status, and made for you the praiseworthy and virtuous

praises ; which no other human being has ever attained.

Thus never [very rarely] is Allaah mentioned except that His Prophet (sallahAllaahu

alayhi wasallam) is mentioned with Him.

For example ; in entering upon Islaam [saying the shahaadas] , in the adhaan [call forprayer], in the Iqaama, in the khutbahs , and in another places where Allaah has

elevated the mention of His Prophet (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) .

And also for him (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) : in the hearts of his Ummah is

veneration , glorification , and esteem which is only for him and none other after

Allaah The Exalted.

So may Allaah reward him (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) for all the good he did for his

Ummah ; a reward which no other prophet has been given due to his Ummah.

And as for His statement :

}.{

So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, Verily, with the hardship, there is relief

This is an enormous glad tiding.

That every time he finds hardship and difficulty ; then relief will accompany and follow it

even if the hardship was to enter the hole of the lizard ; then indeed relief will

accompany and enter with it.

And it will remove it ,

Just as The Exalted said :


43/58

almuflihoon.com

}{

..Allh will grant after hardship, ease.

[Suraatul Talaaq : 7]

And as The Prophet (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) said :

" ."

And [know that] relief comes with affliction, and ease with hardship."1

And as { }[hardship] is definite (in grammar) in both verses ; this shows that itis one.

And as }{ [relief]is Indefinite (in grammar) in both verses ; this shows that it isrepetitive (it is not one) .

Therefore one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs . !

And also by the hardship being definite (in the context of the grammar of the verse); this

shows generality, thus proving any hardship no matter what degree of difficulty it

reaches - surely at the end of it : relief is a must to accompany it.

Then He commanded His Prophet (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) foremost and then

the believers as followers to be thankful to Him , and be steadfast in observing what is

necessitated by the blessings which they have been given [i.e. doing good and avoiding

evil] .

Thus He said :

1Translator says :Hadeeth Saheeh ; see 40 hadeeth of Nawawee : 19.


44/58

almuflihoon.com

}{ So when you have finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allh's worship (i.e.

stand up for prayer).

Meaning : when you have finished with your affairs , and there is nothing of disruption

to your heart ; then strive in worship and supplication.

}{

And to your Lord

(Alone) Only.

}{

..turn (all your intentions and hopes and) your invocations.

Meaning : magnify your desire and your submission to Him responding to your

supplications and accepting your acts of worship.

And do not be among those whom when they have finished their occupations and have

time they delve into amusements , and they turn away from their Lord and from

remembering Him. [So dont be like these] for you will be among the losers.

And it has also been said , that the meaning of the verse is : When you have completed

your daily prayers , then turn to the supplication , and to your Lord ; have desire and

hope in asking for all your needs.

And those who said this [interpretation] they used as proof ; the legislation of

supplication and Dhikr (remembrances) at the end of all the prescribed prayers.

And Allaah knows best in that.

The tafseer of this surah has been completed. And all Perfect praise is for Allaah.

Tafseer of SuraatulDhuhaabyAllamah as-Shaykh ibn Saadi


By the forenoon (after sun-rise);

And by the night when it is still (or darkens);

.Your Lord (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) has neither forsaken you nor hated you

And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).

And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e. good) so that you shall be well-pleased.

Did He not find you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) an orphan and gave you a refuge?

And He found you unaware and guided you?

And He found you poor, and made you rich (self sufficient with self contentment, etc.)?

Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression,

And repulse not the beggar;

And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces).


46/58

almuflihoon.com

Allaah The Exalted swears by the daytime when it spreads its brightness at the time of

the fore-noon. And by the night when it is deep in darkness, and its darkness envelops

(everything).

[He swears] regarding His assistance and cultivation of His Prophet sallahAllaahu alayhi

wasallam , so He said :

}{

Your Lord has neither forsaken you

Meaning : He has not left you since He chose you , and there has never been any

negligence since He began to develop and cultivate you ; rather He never ceases to be

cultivating you upon the best cultivation. And He raises you a degree after degree.

}{

..nor hated you.

Meaning : He has never disliked you since He loved you.

And verily negation of an opposite is an affirmation of its opposite. And the pure

negation never becomes a praise except when it carries the pure affirmation.

So this is the state of the Prophet sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam - past and present [inhis life at the time of descent of this surah] - .

The most perfect state and most complete ; [and that is] The Love of Allaah to him , and

its continuity.

And him being risen to the complete status , and an ever continuing cultivation and

assistance of Allaah to him.

The Tafseer :


47/58

almuflihoon.com

As for his (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) future state ; Then He said :

}{

And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).

Meaning : every latter state that you are in , then it is better than the state that you

have been in the past.

Thus he sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam never ceases to increase and ascend in the

highest degrees , and Allaah establishes for him his religion, and makes him victorious

over his enemies , and strengthens for him his affairs ; upto the time of death.

And verily he (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) reached a state where no other person

from the earlier or the latter ones - ever reached.

And this is in virtues and graces, and pleasures , and the bliss of the heart.

Then after that ; do not even ask about his (sallahAllaahu alayhi wasallam) state in the

here-after ; considering the multitude of bounties , and different categories of delights.

And because of this, He said :

}{

And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e. good) so that you shall be well-pleased.

And this definition cannot be defined except by using this complete generalizing

statement.

Then He specified for him somethings which shows him, his specific states: So He said :

}{

Did He not find you an orphan and gave you a refuge?


48/58

almuflihoon.com

Meaning : We found you with no mother, and no father ; in fact his (sallahAllaahu alayhi

wasallam) parents had died when he could not take care of himself .

And Allaah gave him refuge and care ; and He put him in the care of his (sallahAllaahu

alayhi wasallam) grandfather ; Abdulmutwallib , and then when his grandfather died ,

He put him in the care of his uncle Abu Twaalib ; up until the time when He made him

victorious by His aid and then by the aid of the believers.

}{

And He found you unaware and guided you?

Meaning : We found you not knowing what is The Book , and what is Eeman ; so We

taught you that which you didnt know.

And we made it easy for you to [attain and have] the best of all actions and behaviours.

}{

And He found you poor,

Meaning : [We found you] needy

}{

and made you rich (self sufficient with self contentment, etc.)

Through what He opened up for you in the conquests of various lands ; which you then

collected from them the taxes and its wealth.

So The One who removed from all you all these defects , verily He will remove from you;

all other deficiencies .

And so, to The One who made you attain self sufficient with self contentment, and gave

you refuge, and gave you victory, and guided you ; then accept His favours by being

grateful and thankful.


49/58

almuflihoon.com

And because of this He said :

}{

Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression,

Meaning : let not the interaction with the orphans be in a bad manner , and do not let

your heart be enclosed towards them , and do not repel and turn him away ; rather be

gracious to him , and give him whatever is easy for you to give .

And deal with him [the orphan] just as you would like someone else to treat your

children after your death.

}{

And repulse not the beggar;

Meaning : there should not come from you any words which contain the rejection of

the one who asks in whatever he needs.

And that is by repulse and unsocial manners.

Rather give him whatever is easy for you , or [at least] return him with gentleness and

goodness.

And this includes : the one who asks for wealth , and the one who asks for knowledge.

Thus the teacher is commanded to have the best manners towards the student, and [is

also commanded to be] accepting him by nobleness, and being tender and sympathetic.

Indeed that is an aid to him ; in what he wants to achieve , and it is a more precious

honor to the one who is striving to benefit the slaves and the lands.


50/58

almuflihoon.com

}{

And as for the Grace of your Lord.And this is inclusive of the religious and the worldly favours

}{

..then proclaim them.

Meaning : praise Allaah -with the perfect praises- by these bounties [which He gave

you].

And whenever there is [specific] benefit ; then mention them specifically.

Other than that ; then mention and talk about the favours of Allaah unrestrictedly.

Indeed in the proclamation of the bounties of Allaah ; is a means of calling to being

thankful and grateful to Allaah because of these favours.

And it also necessitates the heart to have love for The One who granted it the bounties .

Verily the hearts are attached to loving the one who does good.
