Tafseer of verses:وَ قَضَیۡنَاۤ اِلٰی بَنِیۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِیۡلَ فِی الۡکِتٰبِ لَتُفۡسِدُنَّ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ مَرَّتَیۡنِ وَ لَتَعۡلُنَّ عُلُوًّا کَبِیۡرًا ﴿۴﴾ فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ اُوۡلٰىہُمَا بَعَثۡنَا عَلَیۡکُمۡ عِبَادًا لَّنَاۤ اُولِیۡ بَاۡسٍ شَدِیۡدٍ فَجَاسُوۡا خِلٰلَ الدِّیَارِ ؕ وَ کَانَ وَعۡدًا مَّفۡعُوۡلًا ﴿۵﴾ ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَا لَکُمُ الۡکَرَّۃَ عَلَیۡہِمۡ وَ اَمۡدَدۡنٰکُمۡ بِاَمۡوَالٍ وَّ بَنِیۡنَ وَ جَعَلۡنٰکُمۡ اَکۡثَرَ نَفِیۡرًا ﴿۶﴾ اِنۡ اَحۡسَنۡتُمۡ اَحۡسَنۡتُمۡ لِاَنۡفُسِکُمۡ ۟ وَ اِنۡ اَسَاۡتُمۡ فَلَہَا ؕ فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ الۡاٰخِرَۃِ لِیَسُوۡٓءٗا وُجُوۡہَکُمۡ وَ لِیَدۡخُلُوا الۡمَسۡجِدَ کَمَا دَخَلُوۡہُ اَوَّلَ مَرَّۃٍ وَّ لِیُتَبِّرُوۡا مَا عَلَوۡا تَتۡبِیۡرًا ﴿۷﴾ عَسٰی رَبُّکُمۡ اَنۡ یَّرۡحَمَکُمۡ ۚ وَ اِنۡ عُدۡتُّمۡ عُدۡنَا ۘ وَ جَعَلۡنَا جَہَنَّمَ لِلۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ حَصِیۡرًا ﴿۸﴾ اِنَّ ہٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ یَہۡدِیۡ لِلَّتِیۡ ہِیَ اَقۡوَمُ وَ یُبَشِّرُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ الَّذِیۡنَ یَعۡمَلُوۡنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَہُمۡ اَجۡرًا کَبِیۡرًا ۙ﴿۹﴾ وَّ اَنَّ الَّذِیۡنَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡاٰخِرَۃِ اَعۡتَدۡنَا لَہُمۡ عَذَابًا اَلِیۡمًا ﴿٪۱۰﴾”

The Biblical Warnings (Footnote 6)

The Quran’s account of the two great corruptions of the Children of Israel finds comprehensive corroboration in the Bible itself. The prophets David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel each delivered increasingly urgent warnings about the first corruption — the abandonment of monotheism, rampant moral decay, idol worship, injustice toward the weak, and widespread immorality. Jesus (peace be upon him), as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, foretold the second corruption and its catastrophic consequences, warning Jerusalem of total desolation and prophesying that not one stone of the Temple would remain upon another.

---

The First Great Corruption and Its Punishment (Footnote 7)

When the Children of Israel entered Palestine after the death of the Prophet Moses, they failed to follow divine instructions to cleanse the land of its polytheistic inhabitants. Tribal rivalries prevented them from forming a unified state, and they allowed pagan nations to remain among them. The inevitable result was that idol worship — centered on deities such as El, Baal, Asherah, and Astarte, whose worship involved temple prostitution, child sacrifice, and extreme moral depravity — seeped into Israelite society.

This spiritual and moral collapse unfolded in stages. The unified kingdom under Saul, David, and Solomon temporarily reversed the decline, but after Solomon, the nation split into two rival kingdoms: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. The Kingdom of Israel fell first, succumbing to Assyrian invasions from the ninth century BC onward. Over 27,000 Israelites were deported and scattered, foreign peoples were resettled in their land, and the Israelite identity was gradually erased. The Kingdom of Judah, though slower to decline, ultimately suffered the same fate. In 587 BC, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon razed Jerusalem and the Temple of Solomon completely, deported vast numbers of Jews, and reduced the remaining population to utter humiliation.

---

The Respite and Partial Renewal (Footnote 8)

After the Babylonian captivity, divine mercy granted the Jews another opportunity. In 539 BC, Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered Babylon and permitted the Jews to return to their homeland. The Temple was rebuilt under Zerubbabel, and the Prophet Ezra arrived in 457 BC to undertake a comprehensive religious renewal — compiling the Torah, reorganizing religious education, enforcing Mosaic law, dissolving unlawful marriages with polytheistic women, and renewing the national covenant with God. Nehemiah subsequently rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem in 445 BC, and the city was restored as the center of Jewish faith and civilization.

However, the Samaritans refused to participate in this renewal and established a rival religious center on Mount Gerizim, deepening the sectarian divide. Later, Greek conquest under the Seleucids brought severe cultural pressure, culminating in the brutal persecution by Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who desecrated the Temple, banned Torah observance, and imposed the death penalty for circumcision and Sabbath-keeping. The heroic Maccabean Revolt eventually expelled the Greeks and established an independent Jewish state that endured until 67 BC, restoring Jewish sovereignty over a territory even broader than that of the earlier kingdoms.

---

The Second Great Corruption and Its Punishment (Footnote 9)

The spiritual vitality of the Maccabean movement gave way to worldliness and internal division. The Jews themselves invited the Roman general Pompey into Palestine in 63 BC, ending their independence. Under Herod the Great and his successors — ruling as Roman client kings — Jewish religious and moral life reached its lowest point. It was in this environment that Jesus (peace be upon him) arose to call his people back to righteousness, only to be opposed by the religious establishment and condemned through their machinations.

The nation’s moral bankruptcy was starkly illustrated when the crowd chose to free the criminal Barabbas over Jesus, a moment the author describes as Allah’s final proof against them. Open revolt against Rome between 64 and 66 AD led to catastrophic consequences. In 70 AD, Titus sacked Jerusalem: 133,000 were killed, 67,000 enslaved, thousands were sent to mines or used in gladiatorial spectacles, and the Temple was completely destroyed. Jewish influence in Palestine was extinguished for two thousand years, and the Holy Temple was never rebuilt. Emperor Hadrian later renamed the city Aelia, barring Jews from entering it for generations.

---

A Parenthetical Address (Footnote 10)

Although these passages appear to address the Children of Israel directly, the primary audience of the Surah is in fact the disbelievers of Makkah. The history of the Children of Israel was invoked as a powerful cautionary lesson for them. The direct address to the Jews functions as a parenthetical remark, also serving as a deliberate prelude to the more extensive reformatory discourses that would follow just a year later in Madinah.

---

The Universal Warning (Footnote 11)

The lessons drawn from Israelite history are not confined to one people or one era. Any individual, community, or nation that refuses to heed the guidance and warnings of the Quran should expect to face the same devastating consequences that befell the Children of Israel. The pattern of divine justice is consistent and universal: corruption and defiance bring ruin, while sincere return to righteousness opens the door to mercy and restoration.

Does “Quran Only” Lead to a Slippery Slope?

The short answer that most traditional scholars would give is yes — and here’s why, with concrete examples.

---

Concrete Things Lost or Disputed Without Hadith

1. The Five Daily Prayers

This is the most powerful example. The Quran mentions prayer constantly but never specifies:

• That prayers are 5 times daily (Quranists often argue for 3)
• The number of rakats in each prayer
• The specific words (like Al-Fatiha in every unit)
• The physical postures — bowing, prostration sequence
• The call to prayer (Adhan)

Without Hadith, Muslims would not agree on how to pray at all. Different Quranist groups already pray differently from each other, and differently from 1,400 years of unified Muslim practice.

2. The Shahada (Declaration of Faith)

The phrase “Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah” — the most fundamental statement of Islamic identity — does not appear in this exact form anywhere in the Quran. It comes from Hadith and Sunnah tradition. Without Hadith, the very entry point into Islam becomes unclear.

3. The Details of Fasting

The Quran commands fasting in Ramadan but doesn’t specify:

• The exact start and end times (dawn to sunset)
• What breaks the fast (beyond eating and drinking)
• The Tarawih prayers
• Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) as recommended

4. Zakat Rates

The Quran commands Zakat but gives no specific percentages or thresholds. The 2.5% on savings, the nisab threshold, rates on crops and livestock — all come from Hadith.

5. Hajj Rituals

The Quran mentions Hajj but the specific rituals — the stoning of the devil, the exact order of tawaf, sa’i between Safa and Marwa details, the days of stay at Mina and Arafah — are derived from the Prophet’s practice recorded in Hadith.

6. Dietary Laws in Detail

The Quran prohibits pork, blood, and carrion broadly, but:

• The concept of halal slaughter method (saying Bismillah, cutting the throat) comes from Hadith.
• Rules about predatory animals, fanged beasts come from Hadith.
• Without these, halal certification as understood today largely collapses.

---

Theological and Doctrinal Losses

7. The Details of the Prophet’s Life (Seerah)

Almost everything we know about Muhammad’s biography comes from Hadith literature. Without it:

• We lose the context of Quranic revelation (asbab al-nuzul)
• We cannot understand which verses were revealed when and why
• Many Quranic verses become nearly impossible to interpret without their historical context

8. Abrogation Becomes Unclear

The Quran itself mentions abrogation — that some verses replace others (2:106). But knowing which verses abrogate which depends almost entirely on Hadith that tell us the chronological order of revelation. Without Hadith, this becomes guesswork.

9. Islamic Law (Sharia) Largely Disappears

The vast majority of detailed legal rulings in classical Islamic law — criminal, family, commercial, ritual — come from Hadith. Without them:

• Hudud punishments lose most of their procedural basis
• Inheritance law loses much of its detail
• Marriage and divorce procedures become vague
• Contract law loses its Prophetic precedents

---

The Slippery Slope in Practice — What Actually Happens

Looking at real Quranist communities, critics point to the following outcomes:

Prayer: Some Quranists pray 3 times daily instead of 5. Others have abandoned formal prayer postures entirely. There is no consensus among Quranists on how to pray.

Gender rules: Some Quranists reject the hijab as a religious obligation since the Quranic verses on it are considered ambiguous without Hadith to clarify them.

Apostasy: Classical apostasy rulings come largely from Hadith. Many Quranists reject any worldly punishment for apostasy — which may align with modern human rights values but represents a radical departure from 1,400 years of jurisprudence.

Alcohol: The Quran uses the word khamr (wine). Without Hadith extending prohibition to all intoxicants, some Quranists argue only grape wine is prohibited, not other alcoholic drinks.

Music and art: Prohibitions on music and figurative art come almost entirely from Hadith. Without them, these restrictions disappear.

---

The Philosophical Problem — Who Interprets?

This is perhaps the deepest issue. Without an authoritative interpretive tradition:

• Every individual becomes their own religious authority
• The Quran’s Arabic is classical and often ambiguous — the same verse can yield opposite meanings depending on grammatical and contextual choices
• This has led Quranists to fragment into numerous competing sub-groups with vastly different practices
• Critics argue this doesn’t liberate the believer — it just replaces scholarly authority with personal bias

As one traditional scholar put it: “The Quran does not interpret itself. Someone always interprets it. The question is whether that someone is the Prophet and his trained companions, or an individual in the 21st century with Google.”

---

The Counter-Argument From Quranists

To be fair, Quranists respond to the slippery slope argument by saying:

• Islam was overcomplicated by Hadith, and returning to the Quran is a simplification, not a loss
• Many Hadith are fabricated or culturally biased, so losing them is a gain not a loss
• The Quran is self-explanatory enough for core faith and morality
• Religious diversity of practice is acceptable and even healthy
• They prioritize spiritual essence over ritual uniformity

---

Verdict — Does the Slippery Slope Argument Hold?

From a traditional standpoint, the evidence is strong that:

Yes, removing Hadith does functionally dissolve many of the concrete, practical, and doctrinal pillars that Muslims have universally recognized for 14 centuries. The loss is not just theoretical — it is visible in actual Quranist communities that cannot agree on prayer, fasting, or basic ritual.

However, whether this is a “slope toward losing Islam” or a “liberation from human additions to Islam” depends entirely on your starting definition of what Islam essentially is. That is ultimately a theological question each person must wrestle with themselves.

Would you like to explore any specific aspect further — such as how particular Quranist scholars respond to these challenges, or how traditional scholars formally debate them?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

---

SECTION 1: What the Quran Is

Q1. What is the Quran and who revealed it?
The Quran is the central religious text of Islam, regarded as the literal word of God (Allah) revealed to Prophet Muhammad over 23 years (610–632 CE) through the angel Gabriel.

Q2. How is the Quran structured?
It is divided into 114 chapters called surahs, containing approximately 6,236 verses (ayahs), arranged not chronologically but by divine instruction.

Q3. What topics does the Quran cover?
It covers monotheism (tawhid), stories of prophets, ethical principles, laws on worship/family/economy, and reflections on the universe, afterlife, and human purpose.

Q4. What does “inimitability” (i’jaz) of the Quran mean?
It means the Quran is considered matchless in eloquence, rhythm, and depth — challenging anyone to produce something similar (referenced in Quran 2:23).

Q5. How has the Quran been preserved?
It was memorized and written during the Prophet’s lifetime, compiled into a single book shortly after his death, and remains unchanged, with millions memorizing it verbatim today.

---

SECTION 2: What the Quran Is Not

Q6. Did Prophet Muhammad compose the Quran?
No. Muslims believe the Quran is divine revelation, not a human composition by Muhammad or anyone else.

Q7. Is the Quran a history book?
No. While it includes historical accounts, they are presented thematically for lessons — not as a linear or exhaustive historical timeline.

Q8. Is the Quran only for Arabs or people of the 7th century?
No. The Quran is universal, addressing all of humanity across all times and places.

Q9. Does the Quran exist in different versions or editions?
No. Unlike some scriptures, there are no variants or editions. Translations are considered interpretations only — the original Arabic remains the authentic text.

Q10. Is the Quran purely a book of laws and rules?
No. It balances commands with spiritual wisdom, parables, and calls to contemplation — it is not a rigid legal code without context.

---

SECTION 3: Key Chapters (Surahs)

Q11. Which surah is recited in every unit of Islamic prayer (Salah)?
Surah Al-Fatiha (The Opening), a 7-verse prayer praising Allah and seeking guidance.

Q12. What is the longest surah in the Quran and what does it contain?
Surah Al-Baqarah (286 verses), covering theology, laws, morality, family matters, social justice, and prophetic stories.

Q13. What is Ayat al-Kursi and why is it significant?
It is verse 2:255 of Surah Al-Baqarah, affirming Allah’s eternal power and sovereignty. It is widely recited for spiritual protection.

Q14. Why is Surah Yasin called the “Heart of the Quran”?
Because it addresses resurrection, divine sovereignty, and the Day of Judgment with vivid imagery, bringing peace and spiritual reflection to its reciters.

Q15. What is the core message of Surah Al-Ikhlas?
In just 4 verses, it declares the absolute oneness (Tawhid) of Allah — that He is eternal, self-sufficient, and without equals or offspring.

Q16. What repeated question appears in Surah Ar-Rahman, and what is its purpose?
“So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?” appears 31 times, prompting gratitude for Allah’s countless blessings.

Q17. What is the spiritual benefit associated with Surah Al-Mulk?
It is said to protect from grave torment when recited nightly, and it fosters awe and mindfulness through reflections on Allah’s dominion over creation.

Q18. What theme does Surah At-Tawbah emphasize?
Repentance, forgiveness, and standing firm in faith — offering hope of divine mercy for sincere repenters regardless of their sins.

---

SECTION 4: Stories of Prophets

Q19. How many prophets are named in the Quran?
Twenty-five prophets are named in the Quran.

Q20. What common pattern do prophetic stories follow in the Quran?
A prophet is sent to a people, faces rejection, delivers Allah’s message, and the outcome is either salvation for believers or punishment for persistent disbelievers.

Q21. What lesson does the story of Prophet Adam teach?
It highlights human fallibility, the danger of Satan’s temptation, and the importance of repentance and seeking Allah’s forgiveness.

Q22. What was Prophet Nuh’s (Noah’s) main trial?
He preached monotheism to his people for centuries but was mocked. Allah commanded him to build an ark; the flood destroyed the disbelievers while Nuh and the believers were saved.

Q23. What significant acts of faith did Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) perform?
He rejected idolatry, survived a fire ordeal, migrated for Allah’s sake, was tested with sacrificing his son Ishmael, and rebuilt the Kaaba.

Q24. What is the central lesson of Surah Yusuf (Joseph’s story)?
Patience during hardship, unwavering trust in Allah, and the virtue of forgiveness — demonstrated when Yusuf forgave his brothers who had betrayed him.

Q25. How does the Quran portray Prophet Isa (Jesus)?
As a prophet born miraculously to Maryam (Mary), who performed miracles by Allah’s permission, preached monotheism, and was raised to heaven — not crucified.

Q26. What distinguishes Prophet Muhammad from other prophets according to the Quran?
He is the Seal of the Prophets (Quran 33:40), sent as “a mercy to all the worlds” (21:107), conveying the final and universal divine message.

---

SECTION 5: The Inimitability Challenge (I’jaz)

Q27. What is the Quranic challenge of inimitability (Tahhaddi)?
Allah challenges all of humanity and jinn to produce something comparable to the Quran — first the whole Quran, then ten surahs, then even one surah — as proof of its divine origin.

Q28. Which verse first issues the challenge to produce a single surah like the Quran?
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:23): “Produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful.”

Q29. What does Surah Al-Isra (17:88) state about the Quran’s inimitability?
Even if all of mankind and jinn gathered together to produce something like the Quran, they could not — even if they assisted one another.

Q30. How did Arab poets and orators respond to the Quran’s challenge?
Despite being masters of eloquence (as seen in Al-Mu’allaqat poetry), they were unable to produce anything comparable. Many who believed did so because they recognized its unmatched beauty and style.

Q31. According to Ibn Kathir, what makes the Quran’s eloquence miraculous compared to Arabic poetry?
The Quran is entirely eloquent without exaggeration or falsehood. Unlike Arabic poetry filled with lies and insignificant descriptions, the Quran’s stories grow more beautiful upon repetition, and its warnings and promises move hearts profoundly.

---

SECTION 6: Linguistic Miracles

Q32. What is a palindrome in the Quran, and give an example?
A phrase reading the same forwards and backwards in Arabic. Example: “كُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ” (36:40) — “Each in an orbit is swimming” — mirroring the cyclical motion of celestial bodies.

Q33. How does the Quran distinguish between the Arabic words أتى and جاء?
“أتى” implies approaching without full arrival, while “جاء” denotes completed arrival. The Quran uses each with precise accuracy, demonstrating linguistic depth beyond ordinary usage.

Q34. What linguistic technique in Surah Yusuf (12:4) engages readers deeply?
Ellipsis (Taqdeer) — the verse omits explicit mention that the sun and moon also prostrate, engaging the reader to infer and reflect, fostering deeper spiritual involvement.

Q35. How does phonetic sound in the Quran reinforce meaning?
The soft “هز” sound in 19:25 conveys Mary’s gentle motion, while the harsh “أز” in 23:97 emphasizes forceful incitement — showing that the Quran’s sounds align purposefully with its meanings.

Q36. What is remarkable about the placement of verse 2:143 in Surah Al-Baqarah?
The verse about the “middle/just nation” falls exactly at the midpoint of the longest surah (verse 143 of 286), reflecting thematic and numerical symmetry considered miraculous.

---

SECTION 7: Impacts of Quranic and Hadith Teachings

Q37. How do Quranic teachings impact personal development?
They foster ethical values like honesty and patience, spiritual nourishment through prayer and fasting, and a culture of lifelong learning — leading to better decision-making and inner peace.

Q38. What does Islam teach about the role of the family?
The family is a cornerstone of society. Marriage is described as a source of tranquility (30:21), with emphasis on mutual respect, child moral upbringing, and care for vulnerable members like orphans and elders.

Q39. How do Islamic teachings address economic inequality?
Through zakat (obligatory charity) and sadaqah (voluntary giving), wealth is redistributed to reduce inequality. The Quran also prohibits riba (usury/interest) to prevent economic exploitation (2:275).

Q40. What does the Quran say about political governance?
It advocates just leadership and consultation (shura, 42:38). Rulers are described as “shepherds” accountable for their people, and speaking truth to a tyrant is considered a noble act (Hadith, Abu Dawud).

Q41. How does Islam promote environmental stewardship?
Humans are appointed as stewards (khalifah) of the earth (2:30). The Quran forbids waste (6:141), and Hadith encourage planting trees even if the end of the world is near — promoting sustainability and conservation.

Q42. What is the overall goal of Quranic and Hadith teachings across all areas of life?
To integrate faith with action, pursuing justice, mercy, and balance — while maintaining accountability to Allah in the hereafter, leading to holistic personal and societal progress.

قرآن کا تعارف: سوال و جواب کی شکل میں

---

سیکشن 1: قرآن کیا ہے؟

س1۔ قرآن کیا ہے اور اسے کس نے نازل کیا؟
قرآن اسلام کی مرکزی مذہبی کتاب ہے، جسے اللہ تعالیٰ کا حقیقی کلام سمجھا جاتا ہے جو 23 سالوں (610–632 عیسوی) کے دوران فرشتہ جبرائیل علیہ السلام کے ذریعے حضرت محمد ﷺ پر نازل ہوا۔

س2۔ قرآن کی ساخت کیسی ہے؟
یہ 114 سورتوں پر مشتمل ہے جن میں تقریباً 6,236 آیات ہیں، جو تاریخی ترتیب سے نہیں بلکہ الٰہی حکم کے مطابق مرتب کی گئی ہیں۔

س3۔ قرآن کن موضوعات پر روشنی ڈالتا ہے؟
یہ توحید، انبیاء کے قصص، اخلاقی اصول، عبادت، خاندان اور معیشت سے متعلق احکام، اور کائنات، آخرت اور انسانی مقصد پر غور و فکر کا احاطہ کرتا ہے۔

س4۔ قرآن کے “اعجاز” (i’jaz) سے کیا مراد ہے؟
اس سے مراد یہ ہے کہ قرآن اپنی فصاحت، آہنگ اور گہرائی میں بے مثل ہے — اور اس جیسی کوئی چیز پیش کرنے کا چیلنج دیا گیا ہے (قرآن 2:23)۔

س5۔ قرآن کو کیسے محفوظ رکھا گیا؟
اسے نبی ﷺ کی حیات میں حفظ کیا گیا اور لکھا گیا، آپ ﷺ کی وفات کے تھوڑے عرصے بعد ایک کتاب کی شکل میں مرتب کیا گیا، اور آج بھی لاکھوں لوگ اسے لفظ بہ لفظ حفظ کرتے ہیں — یہ ہمیشہ سے غیر تبدیل شدہ رہا ہے۔

---

سیکشن 2: قرآن کیا نہیں ہے؟

س6۔ کیا قرآن حضرت محمد ﷺ نے خود لکھا؟
نہیں۔ مسلمانوں کا عقیدہ ہے کہ قرآن الٰہی وحی ہے، نہ کہ حضرت محمد ﷺ یا کسی اور انسان کی تصنیف۔

س7۔ کیا قرآن ایک تاریخی کتاب ہے؟

نہیں۔ قرآن آفاقی ہے اور ہر زمانے اور ہر جگہ کی پوری انسانیت سے خطاب کرتا ہے۔

س9۔ کیا قرآن کے مختلف نسخے یا ایڈیشن موجود ہیں؟
نہیں۔ بعض دیگر مقدس کتب کے برعکس، قرآن کے کوئی متبادل نسخے یا ایڈیشن نہیں ہیں۔ تراجم کو صرف تشریح سمجھا جاتا ہے — اصل عربی متن ہی مستند ہے۔

س10۔ کیا قرآن محض قوانین اور احکام کی کتاب ہے؟
نہیں۔ یہ احکام کے ساتھ روحانی حکمت، تمثیلات، اور غور و فکر کی دعوت کا بھی احاطہ کرتا ہے — یہ کوئی سیاق و سباق سے عاری سخت قانونی ضابطہ نہیں ہے۔

---

سیکشن 3: اہم سورتیں

س11۔ نماز کی ہر رکعت میں کون سی سورت پڑھی جاتی ہے؟
سورۃ الفاتحہ (افتتاح)، جو 7 آیات پر مشتمل ایک دعا ہے جس میں اللہ کی حمد اور ہدایت کی طلب ہے۔

س12۔ قرآن کی سب سے لمبی سورت کون سی ہے اور اس میں کیا ہے؟
سورۃ البقرہ (286 آیات)، جس میں عقیدہ، احکام، اخلاقیات، خاندانی معاملات، سماجی انصاف، اور انبیاء کے قصص شامل ہیں۔

س13۔ آیت الکرسی کیا ہے اور اس کی کیا اہمیت ہے؟
یہ سورۃ البقرہ کی آیت 2:255 ہے، جو اللہ کی ابدی قدرت اور حاکمیت کا اعلان کرتی ہے۔ اسے روحانی تحفظ کے لیے کثرت سے پڑھا جاتا ہے۔

س14۔ سورۃ یٰسین کو “قرآن کا دل” کیوں کہا جاتا ہے؟
کیونکہ یہ قیامت، الٰہی حاکمیت، اور یوم حساب کو نہایت واضح تصویر کشی کے ساتھ بیان کرتی ہے، اور پڑھنے والوں کے دل کو سکون اور روحانی غور و فکر عطا کرتی ہے۔

س15۔ سورۃ الاخلاص کا مرکزی پیغام کیا ہے؟
صرف 4 آیات میں یہ اللہ کی مطلق وحدانیت (توحید) کا اعلان کرتی ہے — کہ وہ ازلی، بے نیاز ہے، اور نہ اس کا کوئی مثل ہے، نہ اولاد۔

س16۔ سورۃ الرحمٰن میں کون سا سوال بار بار آتا ہے اور اس کا مقصد کیا ہے؟
“پس تم اپنے رب کی کن کن نعمتوں کو جھٹلاؤ گے؟” یہ 31 مرتبہ آتا ہے تاکہ اللہ کی بے شمار نعمتوں پر شکر گزاری پیدا ہو۔

س17۔ سورۃ الملک کے روحانی فوائد کیا ہیں؟
کہا جاتا ہے کہ اسے رات کو پڑھنے سے قبر کے عذاب سے حفاظت ہوتی ہے، اور یہ اللہ کی خلق پر اقتدار کے غور و فکر سے خشیت اور بیداری پیدا کرتی ہے۔

س18۔ سورۃ التوبہ کا مرکزی موضوع کیا ہے؟
توبہ، مغفرت، اور ایمان پر استقامت — یہ سورت سچے توبہ کرنے والوں کے لیے الٰہی رحمت کی امید دیتی ہے، چاہے ان کے گناہ کیسے بھی ہوں۔

---

سیکشن 4: انبیاء کے قصص

س19۔ قرآن میں کتنے انبیاء کا نام ذکر کیا گیا ہے؟
قرآن میں پچیس انبیاء کا نام آیا ہے۔

س20۔ قرآن میں انبیاء کے قصص کا عام نمونہ کیا ہے؟
ایک نبی کسی قوم کی طرف بھیجا جاتا ہے، انکار کا سامنا کرتا ہے، اللہ کا پیغام پہنچاتا ہے، اور نتیجہ یا تو مومنوں کی نجات ہوتا ہے یا ہٹ دھرم منکرین کے لیے عذاب۔

س21۔ حضرت آدم علیہ السلام کے قصے سے کیا سبق ملتا ہے؟
یہ انسانی کمزوری، شیطان کے بہکاوے کے خطرے، اور توبہ کرکے اللہ سے مغفرت مانگنے کی اہمیت کو اجاگر کرتا ہے۔

س22۔ حضرت نوح علیہ السلام کی سب سے بڑی آزمائش کیا تھی؟
انہوں نے صدیوں تک اپنی قوم کو توحید کی دعوت دی لیکن ان کا مذاق اڑایا گیا۔ اللہ نے انہیں کشتی بنانے کا حکم دیا؛ طوفان نے منکروں کو ہلاک کر دیا جبکہ حضرت نوح علیہ السلام اور مومنین نجات پا گئے۔

س23۔ حضرت ابراہیم علیہ السلام نے ایمان کے کون سے اہم کارنامے سرانجام دیے؟
انہوں نے بت پرستی کو رد کیا، آگ کی آزمائش سے گزرے، اللہ کی خاطر ہجرت کی، اپنے بیٹے اسماعیل علیہ السلام کی قربانی کا امتحان دیا، اور خانہ کعبہ کو تعمیر کیا۔

س24۔ سورۃ یوسف کا مرکزی سبق کیا ہے؟
مشکلات میں صبر، اللہ پر پختہ بھروسہ، اور عفو و درگزر کی فضیلت — جو اس وقت ظاہر ہوئی جب یوسف علیہ السلام نے اپنے ان بھائیوں کو معاف کر دیا جنہوں نے انہیں دھوکہ دیا تھا۔

س25۔ قرآن حضرت عیسیٰ علیہ السلام کو کس طرح پیش کرتا ہے؟
ایک نبی کے طور پر جو حضرت مریم علیہا السلام کے ہاں معجزانہ طور پر پیدا ہوئے، جنہوں نے اللہ کے اذن سے معجزات دکھائے، توحید کی تبلیغ کی، اور آسمان پر اٹھا لیے گئے — انہیں صلیب پر نہیں چڑھایا گیا۔

س26۔ قرآن کے مطابق حضرت محمد ﷺ دوسرے انبیاء سے کس لحاظ سے ممتاز ہیں؟
آپ ﷺ خاتم النبیین ہیں (قرآن 33:40)، “تمام جہانوں کے لیے رحمت” بنا کر بھیجے گئے (21:107)، اور آخری آفاقی الٰہی پیغام پہنچانے والے ہیں۔

---

سیکشن 5: اعجاز قرآنی کا چیلنج

س27۔ قرآنی چیلنج (تحدی) کیا ہے؟
اللہ نے تمام انسانوں اور جنوں کو چیلنج دیا کہ وہ قرآن جیسی کوئی چیز پیش کریں — پہلے پورے قرآن جیسی، پھر دس سورتوں جیسی، پھر ایک سورت جیسی — بطور ثبوت کہ یہ الٰہی کلام ہے۔

س28۔ کون سی آیت میں پہلی بار ایک سورت جیسی چیز پیش کرنے کا چیلنج دیا گیا؟
سورۃ البقرہ (2:23): “تو اس جیسی ایک سورت لے آؤ اور اللہ کے سوا اپنے گواہوں کو بھی بلا لو، اگر تم سچے ہو۔”

س29۔ سورۃ الاسراء (17:88) قرآن کے اعجاز کے بارے میں کیا کہتی ہے؟
اگر تمام انسان اور جن مل کر بھی قرآن جیسی کوئی چیز لانے کی کوشش کریں تو وہ ایسا نہیں کر سکتے، چاہے وہ ایک دوسرے کی کتنی ہی مدد کریں۔

س30۔ عرب شعراء اور خطباء نے قرآن کے چیلنج کا کیا جواب دیا؟
باوجود اس کے کہ وہ فصاحت و بلاغت کے ماہر تھے (جیسا کہ المعلقات شاعری میں دیکھا گیا)، وہ کچھ بھی اس کے مماثل پیش نہ کر سکے۔ بہت سے لوگ اس لیے ایمان لے آئے کیونکہ انہوں نے اس کی بے مثل خوبصورتی اور اسلوب کو پہچان لیا۔

س31۔ ابن کثیر کے مطابق قرآن کی فصاحت عربی شاعری کے مقابلے میں معجزانہ کیوں ہے؟
قرآن مبالغہ آرائی یا باطل کے بغیر مکمل طور پر فصیح ہے۔ عربی شاعری کے برعکس جو جھوٹ اور بے معنی بیانات سے بھری ہوتی ہے، قرآن کے قصے تکرار کے ساتھ اور بھی خوبصورت ہو جاتے ہیں، اور اس کی تنبیہات اور وعدے دلوں کو گہرائی سے متاثر کرتے ہیں۔

سیکشن 6: قرآنی اور حدیثی تعلیمات کے اثرات

س32۔ قرآنی تعلیمات ذاتی ترقی پر کیا اثر ڈالتی ہیں؟
یہ صداقت اور صبر جیسی اخلاقی اقدار، نماز اور روزے کے ذریعے روحانی غذا، اور تاحیات سیکھنے کی ثقافت کو فروغ دیتی ہیں — جس سے بہتر فیصلہ سازی اور قلبی سکون حاصل ہوتا ہے۔

س33۔ اسلام خاندان کے کردار کے بارے میں کیا سکھاتا ہے؟
خاندان معاشرے کی بنیاد ہے۔ نکاح کو سکون کا ذریعہ قرار دیا گیا ہے (30:21)، باہمی احترام، بچوں کی اخلاقی تربیت، اور یتیموں اور بزرگوں جیسے کمزور افراد کی دیکھ بھال پر زور دیا گیا ہے۔

س34۔ اسلامی تعلیمات معاشی ناہمواری سے کیسے نمٹتی ہیں؟
زکوٰۃ (لازمی صدقہ) اور صدقہ (نفلی عطیہ) کے ذریعے دولت کی تقسیم ہوتی ہے تاکہ ناہمواری کم ہو۔ قرآن نے معاشی استحصال کو روکنے کے لیے سود (ربا) کو بھی حرام قرار دیا ہے (2:275)۔

س35۔ قرآن سیاسی حکمرانی کے بارے میں کیا کہتا ہے؟
یہ عادلانہ قیادت اور شورٰی (42:38) کی وکالت کرتا ہے۔ حکمرانوں کو اپنی رعایا کے ذمہ دار “چرواہے” کہا گیا ہے، اور ظالم حکمران کے سامنے حق بات کہنا ایک عظیم عمل قرار دیا گیا ہے (حدیث، ابو داؤد)۔

س36۔ اسلام ماحولیاتی ذمہ داری کو کیسے فروغ دیتا ہے؟
انسانوں کو زمین کا خلیفہ (نائب) مقرر کیا گیا ہے (2:30)۔ قرآن فضول خرچی سے منع کرتا ہے (6:141)، اور احادیث میں درخت لگانے کی ترغیب دی گئی ہے چاہے قیامت قریب ہی کیوں نہ ہو — جو پائیداری اور تحفظ ماحول کو فروغ دیتا ہے۔

س37۔ زندگی کے تمام شعبوں میں قرآنی اور حدیثی تعلیمات کا مجموعی مقصد کیا ہے؟
ایمان کو عمل کے ساتھ جوڑنا، انصاف، رحمت اور توازن کا حصول — آخرت میں اللہ کے سامنے جوابدہی کو مدنظر رکھتے ہوئے — تاکہ ذاتی اور سماجی سطح پر ہمہ جہت ترقی حاصل ہو۔

खंड 1: कुरान क्या है

प्र1. कुरान क्या है और इसे किसने प्रकट किया?
कुरान इस्लाम का केंद्रीय धार्मिक ग्रंथ है, जिसे अल्लाह के शाब्दिक वचन के रूप में माना जाता है, जो 23 वर्षों (610–632 ई.) में फरिश्ते जिब्रील के माध्यम से पैगंबर मुहम्मद पर प्रकट हुआ।

प्र2. कुरान की संरचना कैसी है?
यह 114 अध्यायों में विभाजित है जिन्हें सूरह कहा जाता है, जिनमें लगभग 6,236 आयतें हैं, जो कालानुक्रमिक रूप से नहीं बल्कि दैवीय निर्देश के अनुसार व्यवस्थित हैं।

प्र3. कुरान में कौन-कौन से विषय हैं?
इसमें एकेश्वरवाद (तौहीद), पैगंबरों की कहानियां, नैतिक सिद्धांत,礼जा/परिवार/अर्थव्यवस्था पर कानून, और ब्रह्मांड, परलोक तथा मानव उद्देश्य पर विचार शामिल हैं।

प्र4. कुरान की “अनुकरणीयता” (इ’जाज़) का क्या अर्थ है?
इसका अर्थ है कि कुरान वाक्पटुता, लय और गहराई में अतुलनीय मानी जाती है — जो किसी को भी इसके समान कुछ उत्पन्न करने की चुनौती देती है (कुरान 2:23 में संदर्भित)।

प्र5. कुरान को कैसे संरक्षित किया गया है?
इसे पैगंबर के जीवनकाल में कंठस्थ और लिखा गया था, उनकी मृत्यु के तुरंत बाद एक पुस्तक में संकलित किया गया, और आज भी लाखों लोग इसे शब्द-दर-शब्द कंठस्थ करते हैं।

---

खंड 2: कुरान क्या नहीं है

प्र6. क्या पैगंबर मुहम्मद ने कुरान की रचना की?
नहीं। मुसलमान मानते हैं कि कुरान दैवीय रहस्योद्घाटन है, न कि मुहम्मद या किसी अन्य व्यक्ति की रचना।

प्र7. क्या कुरान एक इतिहास की पुस्तक है?
नहीं। हालांकि इसमें ऐतिहासिक विवरण शामिल हैं, वे शिक्षा के लिए विषयगत रूप से प्रस्तुत किए गए हैं — न कि एक रैखिक या संपूर्ण ऐतिहासिक समयरेखा के रूप में।

प्र8. क्या कुरान केवल अरबों या 7वीं शताब्दी के लोगों के लिए है?
नहीं। कुरान सार्वभौमिक है, सभी समयों और स्थानों पर सम्पूर्ण मानवता को संबोधित करती है।

प्र9. क्या कुरान के विभिन्न संस्करण या प्रकाशन हैं?
नहीं। कुछ अन्य धर्मग्रंथों के विपरीत, इसके कोई भिन्न रूप या संस्करण नहीं हैं। अनुवादों को केवल व्याख्या माना जाता है — मूल अरबी ही प्रामाणिक पाठ है।

प्र10. क्या कुरान केवल कानूनों और नियमों की पुस्तक है?
नहीं। यह आदेशों को आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान, दृष्टांतों और चिंतन के आह्वान के साथ संतुलित करती है — यह संदर्भ-रहित कोई कठोर कानूनी संहिता नहीं है।

---

खंड 3: प्रमुख अध्याय (सूरह)

प्र11. इस्लामी नमाज़ (सलाह) की प्रत्येक इकाई में कौन-सी सूरह पढ़ी जाती है?
सूरह अल-फातिहा (The Opening), एक 7-आयत की प्रार्थना जो अल्लाह की प्रशंसा करती है और मार्गदर्शन मांगती है।

प्र12. कुरान की सबसे लंबी सूरह कौन-सी है और उसमें क्या है?
सूरह अल-बक़रह (286 आयतें), जिसमें धर्मशास्त्र, कानून, नैतिकता, पारिवारिक मामले, सामाजिक न्याय और पैगंबरों की कहानियां हैं।

प्र13. आयत अल-कुर्सी क्या है और यह महत्वपूर्ण क्यों है?
यह सूरह अल-बक़रह की आयत 2:255 है, जो अल्लाह की अनंत शक्ति और संप्रभुता की पुष्टि करती है। इसे आध्यात्मिक सुरक्षा के लिए व्यापक रूप से पढ़ा जाता है।

प्र14. सूरह यासीन को “कुरान का दिल” क्यों कहा जाता है?
क्योंकि यह पुनरुत्थान, दैवीय संप्रभुता और न्याय के दिन को जीवंत चित्रण के साथ संबोधित करती है, जो इसके पाठकों को शांति और आध्यात्मिक चिंतन प्रदान करती है।

प्र15. सूरह अल-इख़्लास का मूल संदेश क्या है?
केवल 4 आयतों में, यह अल्लाह की पूर्ण एकता (तौहीद) की घोषणा करती है — कि वह शाश्वत, स्वयंभू है, और उसका कोई समकक्ष या संतान नहीं है।

प्र16. सूरह अर-रहमान में कौन-सा प्रश्न बार-बार आता है और इसका उद्देश्य क्या है?
“तो तुम अपने रब की किन-किन नेमतों को झुठलाओगे?” 31 बार आता है, जो अल्लाह की अनगिनत कृपाओं के लिए कृतज्ञता प्रेरित करता है।

प्र17. सूरह अल-मुल्क से जुड़ा आध्यात्मिक लाभ क्या है?
कहा जाता है कि इसे रात में पढ़ने से कब्र के अज़ाब से सुरक्षा होती है, और यह सृष्टि पर अल्लाह के आधिपत्य के चिंतन के माध्यम से भय और सचेतनता को बढ़ावा देती है।

प्र18. सूरह अत-तौबह किस विषय पर जोर देती है?
पश्चाताप, क्षमा और विश्वास में दृढ़ रहना — पापों की परवाह किए बिना सच्चे पश्चाताप करने वालों के लिए दैवीय दया की आशा प्रदान करना।

---

खंड 4: पैगंबरों की कहानियां

प्र19. कुरान में कितने पैगंबरों के नाम हैं?
कुरान में पच्चीस पैगंबरों के नाम हैं।

प्र20. कुरान में पैगंबरों की कहानियों में कौन-सा सामान्य पैटर्न है?
एक पैगंबर किसी समुदाय को भेजा जाता है, अस्वीकृति का सामना करता है, अल्लाह का संदेश देता है, और परिणाम या तो ईमानवालों के लिए मुक्ति या अटल काफिरों के लिए दंड होता है।

प्र21. पैगंबर आदम की कहानी क्या सिखाती है?
यह मानवीय दुर्बलता, शैतान के प्रलोभन के खतरे, और पश्चाताप एवं अल्लाह से क्षमा मांगने के महत्व को उजागर करती है।

प्र22. पैगंबर नूह (नोआ) की मुख्य परीक्षा क्या थी?
उन्होंने सदियों तक अपने लोगों को एकेश्वरवाद का उपदेश दिया लेकिन उनका मज़ाक उड़ाया गया। अल्लाह ने उन्हें एक जहाज बनाने का आदेश दिया; बाढ़ ने काफिरों को नष्ट कर दिया जबकि नूह और ईमानवाले बच गए।

प्र23. पैगंबर इब्राहिम (अब्राहम) ने विश्वास के कौन-से महत्वपूर्ण कार्य किए?
उन्होंने मूर्तिपूजा को अस्वीकार किया, अग्नि की परीक्षा से बचे, अल्लाह के लिए प्रवास किया, अपने पुत्र इस्माईल की बलि की परीक्षा दी, और काबा का पुनर्निर्माण किया।

प्र24. सूरह यूसुफ (यूसुफ की कहानी) का केंद्रीय पाठ क्या है?
कठिनाई में धैर्य, अल्लाह पर अटल विश्वास, और क्षमा का गुण — जो तब प्रदर्शित हुआ जब यूसुफ ने उन भाइयों को माफ किया जिन्होंने उन्हें धोखा दिया था।

प्र25. कुरान पैगंबर ईसा (यीशु) को कैसे चित्रित करता है?
एक पैगंबर के रूप में जो मरियम (मेरी) से चमत्कारिक रूप से जन्मे, जिन्होंने अल्लाह की अनुमति से चमत्कार किए, एकेश्वरवाद का प्रचार किया, और स्वर्ग में उठाए गए — न कि सूली पर चढ़ाए गए।

प्र26. कुरान के अनुसार पैगंबर मुहम्मद को अन्य पैगंबरों से क्या अलग करता है?
वह पैगंबरों की मुहर हैं (कुरान 33:40), “सभी जगतों के लिए रहमत” के रूप में भेजे गए (21:107), जो अंतिम और सार्वभौमिक दैवीय संदेश पहुंचाते हैं।

---

खंड 5: अनुकरणीयता की चुनौती (इ’जाज़)

प्र27. अनुकरणीयता की कुरानी चुनौती (तहद्दी) क्या है?
अल्लाह सभी मनुष्यों और जिन्नों को कुरान के समान कुछ उत्पन्न करने की चुनौती देता है — पहले पूरा कुरान, फिर दस सूरह, फिर एक भी सूरह — इसके दैवीय मूल के प्रमाण के रूप में।

प्र28. कुरान जैसी एक सूरह उत्पन्न करने की चुनौती पहले किस आयत में दी गई है?
सूरह अल-बक़रह (2:23): “तो इसके जैसी एक सूरह बना लाओ और अल्लाह के अलावा अपने सहायकों को बुला लो, यदि तुम सच्चे हो।”

प्र29. सूरह अल-इस्रा (17:88) कुरान की अनुकरणीयता के बारे में क्या कहती है?
यदि सभी मनुष्य और जिन्न मिलकर कुरान जैसा कुछ उत्पन्न करने की कोशिश करें, तो भी नहीं कर पाएंगे — चाहे वे एक-दूसरे की सहायता करें।

प्र30. कुरान की चुनौती पर अरब कवियों और वक्ताओं ने कैसी प्रतिक्रिया दी?
वाक्पटुता के उस्तादों (जैसा कि अल-मु’अल्लकात काव्य में दिखता है) के बावजूद, वे कुछ तुलनीय उत्पन्न करने में असमर्थ रहे। जो विश्वास करने आए उन्होंने इसकी अतुलनीय सुंदरता और शैली को पहचाना।

प्र31. इब्न कथीर के अनुसार, कुरान की वाक्पटुता को अरबी काव्य की तुलना में चमत्कारी क्या बनाता है?
कुरान बिना अतिशयोक्ति या असत्य के पूरी तरह वाक्पटु है। झूठ और तुच्छ वर्णन से भरी अरबी कविता के विपरीत, कुरान की कहानियां पुनरावृत्ति पर और सुंदर होती हैं, और इसकी चेतावनियां व वादे हृदयों को गहराई से प्रभावित करते हैं।

---

खंड 6: भाषाई चमत्कार

प्र32. कुरान में पैलिंड्रोम क्या है, और एक उदाहरण दें?
अरबी में एक वाक्यांश जो आगे और पीछे दोनों तरफ से एक ही पढ़ा जाता है। उदाहरण: “كُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ” (36:40) — “प्रत्येक एक कक्षा में तैर रहा है” — जो खगोलीय पिंडों की चक्रीय गति को प्रतिबिंबित करता है।

प्र33. कुरान अरबी शब्दों أتى और جاء के बीच कैसे अंतर करता है?
“أتى” का तात्पर्य पूर्ण आगमन के बिना पहुंचना है, जबकि “جاء” पूर्ण आगमन को दर्शाता है। कुरान प्रत्येक का सटीक रूप से उपयोग करता है, जो सामान्य उपयोग से परे भाषाई गहराई प्रदर्शित करता है।

प्र34. सूरह यूसुफ (12:4) में कौन-सी भाषाई तकनीक पाठकों को गहराई से संलग्न करती है?
एलिप्सिस (तकदीर) — आयत स्पष्ट रूप से उल्लेख नहीं करती कि सूर्य और चंद्रमा भी सजदा करते हैं, पाठक को अनुमान और चिंतन के लिए प्रेरित करती है, जिससे गहरी आध्यात्मिक भागीदारी होती है।

प्र35. कुरान में ध्वनि अर्थ को कैसे पुष्ट करती है?
19:25 में नरम “هز” ध्वनि मरियम की कोमल गति को व्यक्त करती है, जबकि 23:97 में कठोर “أز” बलपूर्वक उकसावे पर जोर देती है — यह दर्शाता है कि कुरान की ध्वनियां जानबूझकर उसके अर्थों के साथ संरेखित हैं।

प्र36. सूरह अल-बक़रह में आयत 2:143 के स्थान के बारे में क्या उल्लेखनीय है?
“मध्य/न्यायसंगत राष्ट्र” के बारे में आयत सबसे लंबी सूरह के ठीक मध्यबिंदु पर (286 में से 143वीं आयत) पड़ती है, जो विषयगत और संख्यात्मक सममिति को दर्शाती है जिसे चमत्कारी माना जाता है।

---

खंड 7: कुरानी और हदीस शिक्षाओं के प्रभाव

प्र37. कुरानी शिक्षाएं व्यक्तिगत विकास को कैसे प्रभावित करती हैं?
वे ईमानदारी और धैर्य जैसे नैतिक मूल्यों, प्रार्थना और उपवास के माध्यम से आध्यात्मिक पोषण, और आजीवन सीखने की संस्कृति को बढ़ावा देती हैं — जिससे बेहतर निर्णय-क्षमता और आंतरिक शांति मिलती है।

प्र38. इस्लाम परिवार की भूमिका के बारे में क्या सिखाता है?
परिवार समाज की आधारशिला है। विवाह को शांति का स्रोत बताया गया है (30:21), पारस्परिक सम्मान, बच्चों के नैतिक पालन-पोषण, और अनाथों व बुजुर्गों जैसे असहाय सदस्यों की देखभाल पर जोर दिया गया है।

प्र39. इस्लामी शिक्षाएं आर्थिक असमानता को कैसे संबोधित करती हैं?
ज़कात (अनिवार्य दान) और सदक़ह (स्वैच्छिक दान) के माध्यम से, असमानता को कम करने के लिए धन का पुनर्वितरण किया जाता है। कुरान आर्थिक शोषण को रोकने के लिए रिबा (सूदखोरी/ब्याज) को भी प्रतिबंधित करती है (2:275)।

प्र40. कुरान राजनीतिक शासन के बारे में क्या कहती है?
यह न्यायपूर्ण नेतृत्व और परामर्श (शूरा, 42:38) की वकालत करती है। शासकों को “चरवाहे” के रूप में वर्णित किया गया है जो अपने लोगों के प्रति जवाबदेह हैं, और किसी अत्याचारी से सच बोलना एक महान कार्य माना जाता है (हदीस, अबू दाऊद)।

प्र41. इस्लाम पर्यावरण संरक्षण को कैसे बढ़ावा देता है?
मनुष्यों को पृथ्वी का खलीफा (2:30) नियुक्त किया गया है। कुरान अपव्यय को मना करती है (6:141), और हदीस प्रलय के करीब होने पर भी पेड़ लगाने को प्रोत्साहित करती है — स्थिरता और संरक्षण को बढ़ावा देती है।

प्र42. जीवन के सभी क्षेत्रों में कुरानी और हदीस शिक्षाओं का समग्र लक्ष्य क्या है?
विश्वास को कार्य के साथ एकीकृत करना, न्याय, दया और संतुलन की खोज करना — परलोक में अल्लाह के प्रति जवाबदेही बनाए रखते हुए, जिससे समग्र व्यक्तिगत और सामाजिक प्रगति होती है।

ప్ర7. ఖురాన్ ఒక చరిత్ర పుస్తకమా?
లేదు. ఇందులో చారిత్రక వివరణలు ఉన్నప్పటికీ, అవి పాఠాల కోసం విషయానుసారంగా అందించబడ్డాయి — రేఖీయ లేదా సమగ్ర చారిత్రక కాలక్రమంగా కాదు.

ప్ర8. ఖురాన్ కేవలం అరబ్బులకు లేదా 7వ శతాబ్దం వారికి మాత్రమేనా?

ప్ర10. ఖురాన్ కేవలం చట్టాలు మరియు నియమాల పుస్తకమేనా?
లేదు. ఇది ఆజ్ఞలను ఆధ్యాత్మిక జ్ఞానం, ఉపమానాలు మరియు ధ్యానం పిలుపులతో సమతుల్యం చేస్తుంది — ఇది సందర్భం లేని కఠినమైన చట్టపరమైన సంహిత కాదు.

ప్ర14. సూరా యాసీన్‌ను “ఖురాన్ యొక్క హృదయం” అని ఎందుకు అంటారు?
ఎందుకంటే ఇది పునరుత్థానం, దైవిక సార్వభౌమత్వం మరియు తీర్పు దినాన్ని జీవంతమైన చిత్రాలతో సంబోధిస్తుంది, దాని పఠించే వారికి శాంతి మరియు ఆధ్యాత్మిక ధ్యానాన్ని అందిస్తుంది.

ప్ర15. సూరా అల్-ఇఖ్లాస్ యొక్క ప్రధాన సందేశం ఏమిటి?

ఒక ప్రవక్త ఒక ప్రజలకు పంపబడతారు, తిరస్కరణను ఎదుర్కొంటారు, అల్లాహ్ సందేశాన్ని అందజేస్తారు, మరియు ఫలితం విశ్వాసులకు రక్షణ లేదా మొండి అవిశ్వాసులకు శిక్షగా ఉంటుంది.

ఇది మానవ బలహీనతను, షైతాన్ శోధన యొక్క ప్రమాదాన్ని, మరియు పశ్చాత్తాపం మరియు అల్లాహ్ క్షమాపణ వేడుకోవడం యొక్క ప్రాముఖ్యతను హైలైట్ చేస్తుంది.

ఆయన శతాబ్దాల పాటు తన ప్రజలకు ఏకేశ్వరవాదాన్ని బోధించారు కానీ వారు ఆయన్ని వ్యంగ్యం చేశారు. అల్లాహ్ ఒక నౌకను నిర్మించమని ఆయనను ఆదేశించాడు; వరద అవిశ్వాసులను నాశనం చేసింది, నూహ్ మరియు విశ్వాసులు రక్షించబడ్డారు.

ప్ర23. ప్రవక్త ఇబ్రాహీం (అబ్రహామ్) ఏ ముఖ్యమైన విశ్వాస చర్యలు చేశారు?
ఆయన విగ్రహారాధనను తిరస్కరించారు, అగ్ని పరీక్ష నుండి బయటపడ్డారు, అల్లాహ్ కోసం వలస వెళ్ళారు, తన కుమారుడు ఇస్మాయీల్‌ను త్యాగం చేయమనే పరీక్షకు గురయ్యారు, మరియు కాబాను పునర్నిర్మించారు.

కష్టకాలంలో ఓర్పు, అల్లాహ్ పై అచంచలమైన నమ్మకం, మరియు క్షమాపణ యొక్క సద్గుణం — యూసుఫ్ తనను ద్రోహం చేసిన తన సోదరులను క్షమించినప్పుడు ప్రదర్శించబడింది.

We have difficulty in conceptualizing this topic. Article is prepared from explanations by different Islamic scholars 

Human Free Will in the Quran

The Quran presents a nuanced view of human free will (ikhtiyar), emphasizing that humans have the capacityto choose between belief and disbelief, good and evil, while operating within the framework of Allah’s overarching sovereignty and divine decree (qadr). This balance avoids absolute determinism or complete autonomy, highlighting personal responsibility and accountability on the Day of Judgment. 

Key verses illustrate that Allah has guided humanity, endowed the soul with discernment, and given freedom to choose paths, with consequences tied to those choices. 

Below are prominent verses on this topic, including Arabic text, English translations, and explanations from Tafheem-ul-Quran by Abul Ala Maududi.

Verse 16:93 (Surah An-Nahl)

Arabic Text:
وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٲحِدَةً وَلَـٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَلَتُسْــَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

English Translation:
Had Allah so willed, He would have made you all one single community. However, He lets go astray whomsoever He wills and shows the Right Way to whomsoever He wills. Surely you shall be called to account regarding what you did. 6

Explanation (Tafsir):
This further supports the previous warning. It means that it would be wrong for any champion of Allah’s religion to arrogate to himself the use of every sort of method and means irrespective of whether they are right or wrong to propagate his own religion (considering it to be Allah’s religion) and try to destroy opposite religions. For this would be utterly against the will of Allah. If Allah had willed that there should be no religious differences, He could have deprived mankind of the freedom of choice. In that case, there would have been no need for Allah to get help of any such upholder of His religion, who uses disgraceful means for this purpose. Allah could have created all mankind to be inherent believers and obedient servants by depriving them of the power and option of disbelief and sin. Then there would have been none who could have dared to deviate from belief and obedience. This is to show that Allah Himself has given man the power and freedom to follow any out of the many ways. That is why Allah makes arrangements for the guidance of the one who intends to follow the right way, and let go astray the one who desires to deviate.

Verse 18:29 (Surah Al-Kahf)

Arabic Text:
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ ۚ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا ۚ وَإِنْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغَاثُوا بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ ۚ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

English Translation:
And say, “The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills – let him believe; and whoever wills – let him disbelieve.” Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place. 23

Explanation (Tafsir):
This verse makes it quite plain that the story of the sleepers of the cave has been related to tell the opponents of Islam: This is the Truth from your Lord. Now whosoever wills, let him believe it and whosoever wills, let him deny it. This also contains a warning that they should not remain in any misunderstanding concerning this. There is no question of compelling them to believe this. They are free to accept or reject the message as they like, and then be ready to take the consequences of their attitude and way of life. 24

Verse 2:256 (Surah Al-Baqarah)

Arabic Text:
لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ ۖ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ ۚ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

English Translation:
There is no compulsion in religion. The Right Way stands clearly distinguished from the wrong. Hence he who rejects the evil ones and believes in Allah has indeed taken hold of the firm, unbreakable handle. And Allah (to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth) hears everything, knows everything. 31

Explanation (Tafsir):
The verse means that the system of Islam, embracing belief, morals and practical conduct cannot be imposed by compulsion. These are not things to which people can be compelled to consent: they are rather things which people themselves must accept willfully after their reason has acknowledged them, or reject. If a person does not accept them from the heart, it is impossible to change him by outward compulsion. It is true that under an Islamic government, those who do not accept Islam are compelled to submit to certain laws, but that is an entirely different matter from adopting a particular way of thinking and system of life under compulsion. 28

Verse 76:3 (Surah Al-Insan)

Arabic Text:
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا

English Translation:
Surely We showed him the Right Path, regardless of whether he chooses to be thankful or unthankful (to his Lord).

Explanation (Tafsir):
That is, We did not just leave him to himself after giving him the powers of knowledge and reason, but We also guided him so that he knows which is the path of gratefulness and which of ungratefulness, so that whichever path he chooses in his later life, he himself is responsible for it. In Surah Al-Balad, the same subject has been expressed, thus “And We showed him both the conspicuous ways (of good and evil).” And in Surah Ash-Shams, thus: “By the human self, and by Him Who balanced it (with all the external and internal powers), then inspired it with its wickedness and its piety.” When all these explanations are kept in view, and also those detailed statements of the Quran in which it has been stated what arrangements Allah has made for man’s guidance in the world, it becomes evident that in this verse “We guided him to the way” does not imply any one form of guidance but many forms of it which are limitless and countless. For example: (1) Along with the faculties of knowledge and reason, man has also been endowed with a moral sense by which he discerns between good and evil, regards some acts and qualities as evil even if he himself is involved in them, and regards some other acts and qualities as good even if he himself is avoiding them. So much so that even those people who for the satisfaction of their selfish motives and desires have invented philosophies by which they have justified many evils for themselves, protest loudly when they are themselves treated with the same evils by others, and then it becomes known that in spite of their false philosophies they actually regard them as evil. Likewise, when a man himself is benefited by a good treatment from another person, he is from within forced to commend and appreciate it even though he might be looking upon good acts and qualities as ignorance folly and antiquated things. (2) In every man Allah has placed the faculty of conscience (the lawwamah), which checks and pricks him every time he is about to commit an evil, or is in the process of committing it, or has already committed it. However hard man may try to silence his conscience or make it insensitive, he does not have the power to destroy it completely. He may become shameless and prove himself to be absolutely devoid of the conscience, he may also try to deceive the world by argumentation, he may even invent a thousand excuses to justify his acts in order to deceive himself, but despite all this the censor, that Allah has placed in his nature, is so active and powerful that it does not let remain hidden from an evil person what he actually is. This same thing has been stated in Surah Al-Qiyamah, thus: “Man knows his own self best even though he may offer many excuses.” (3) In man’s own self and outside of him, from the earth to the heavens, there lie scattered in the universe countless such signs which clearly show that all this could not happen without a God, nor could there be many gods to create this life and control and administer it. Likewise, these very signs, inside man and outside him, clearly point also to the Resurrection and Hereafter. If man shuts down his eyes on them, or refuses to ponder over them intelligently, or avoids to admit the truths which they point out, he himself would be to blame. For Allah has shown no negligence in laying out every possible sign of the truth for the guidance of man. (4) Man does come across in his own life, and in the contemporary world and in the experiences of past history, countless such incidents which prove that a supreme power is ruling over him and the entire universe, before Whom he is absolutely powerless, whose Will is dominant over everything and whose help he needs at every moment. These experiences and observations which point to the truth do not exist only outside him but in man’s own nature as well there exists the evidence of the existence of the supreme power on the basis of which even the most confirmed atheist spreads out his hands in prayer before God when in distress, and the most hardened polytheist abandons all false gods and starts invoking One God only for help. (5) Man’s intellect and his nature assert positively that crime ought to be punished and good deeds ought to be rewarded. On this very basis in every society of the world a system of the courts is established in one form or another. The services and works, which are regarded as commendable are also rewarded in one way or another. This is a clear proof of the fact that there is a necessary relationship between morality and the law of retribution, which man cannot possibly deny. Now, if it is admitted that in this world there are countless such crimes which cannot be punished at all to say nothing of punishing them fully and adequately, and there are also countless such virtues, which cannot be rewarded at all, to say nothing of rewarding them fully and adequately, there is no alternative but to acknowledge the Hereafter. Unless, of course, a foolish person may assume, or a stubborn person may insist on having the opinion, that man who has been endowed with the concept of justice, has taken birth in a world which in itself is devoid of the concept of justice; and then it remains for him to answer the question as to how and wherefrom this man, who was born in such a world, obtained this concept of justice. To reinforce these means of guidance Allah sent Messengers and revealed Books in the world for the purpose of giving clear and definite guidance to man. In these Books it was clearly explained what is the way of gratefulness and what is the way of ungratefulness and unbelief and what will be the consequences of following either way. The teaching brought by the Prophets and the Books has spread throughout the world in countless perceptible, and imperceptible ways, on such a large scale that no section of human population has remained unaware of the concept of God and the Hereafter, of the distinction between good and evil, and of the moral principles and legal rulings presented by them, whether it knows or does not know that it has obtained this knowledge only through the teachings of the Prophets and the Books they brought. Even those who disbelieve in the Prophets and the Books today, or are unaware of them, also are following many of those things which have reached to them actually through their teachings while they do not know what is the real source of these teachings.

Verses 91:7-10 (Surah Ash-Shams)

Arabic Text:
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا ۝ فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا ۝ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا ۝ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسَّاهَا

English Translation:
(91:7) and by the soul and by Him Who perfectly proportioned it, (91:8) and imbued it with (the consciousness of) its evil and its piety: (91:9) He who purifies it will prosper, (91:10) and he who suppresses it will be ruined.

Explanation (Tafsir):
Proportioned it: Gave man such a body which by virtue of its erect stature, its hands and feet, and its brain was most appropriate for him to live as man in the world. He blessed him with the senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell which on account of their combination and their characteristics could become the best means of obtaining knowledge for him. He endowed him with the faculties of thinking, reasoning, imagination, memory, discrimination, judgment, will-power and such other mental powers by virtue of which he is able to perform the functions fit for man in the world. In addition, proportioning also means that man was not created a sinner by birth and a criminal by instinct but on right and sound nature, and was not characterized with any inborn crookedness because of which he may be unable to adopt the right path even if he wanted to do so. This same thing has been expressed in Surah Ar-Room, saying: Be steadfast on the nature whereupon Allah has created mankind, (verse 30), and the same has been explained by the Prophet (peace be upon him) in a Hadith, saying: Every new-born child is born on true human nature; it is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Magian afterwards. Its example is of an animal giving birth to complete and sound young one. Do you find any one with a torn or slit ear? (Bukhari, Muslim). That is, it is the polytheistic people who on account of their superstitions of ignorance tear and slit the ears of animals afterwards; otherwise God does not cause an animal to be born with torn ears from its mother’s belly. In another Hadith the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: My Lord says: I had created all My servants on true faith (i.e. on sound nature); then the satans came and led them astray from their faith (i.e.. the true natural faith) and made unlawful what I had made lawful for them, and commanded them to associate with Me those for whom I had sent down no authority. (Musnad Ahmad; Muslim also has related a saying from the Prophet (peace be upon him) in similar words). The word ilham is derived from lahm which means to swallow. According to this very basic meaning, the word ilham is used terminologically for Allah’s inspiring a man with a concept or idea unconsciously. Inspiring the human self with its wickedness and its piety and virtue has two meanings: (1) That the Creator has placed in it tendencies to both good and evil, and this is the thing that every man feels in himself. (2) That Allah has endowed every man’s unconscious mind with the concept that there is a moral good and there is a moral evil, that good morals and acts and evil morals and acts are not equal and alike. Fujur (immorality) is an evil thing and taqva (abstention from evils) a good thing. These concepts are not new to man; he is conscious of these by nature, and the Creator has endowed him with the ability to distinguish between good and evil naturally. This same thing has been said in Surah Al-Balad: And We showed him both the highways of good and evil. (verse 10); and in Surah Ad-Dahr, thus: We showed him the way, whether to be grateful or disbelieving (verse 3); and the same has been expressed in Surah Al-Qiyamah, saying: In man there is the reproaching self (conscience) which reproaches him when he commits evil (verse 2), and man knows his own self best, even though he may offer many excuses. (verses 14-15). Here, one should also understand well that Allah has blessed every creature with natural inspiration according to its position and nature, as has been pointed out in Surah TaHa: Who has given a distinctive form to everything and then guided it aright. (verse 50). For example, every species of animals has been given inspirational knowledge according to its needs by virtue of which the fish learns to swim, the bird to fly, the bee to make the beehive and the weaver-bird to build the nest instinctively. Man also in view of his different capacities has been granted separate kinds of inspirational knowledge. His one capacity is that he is an animal being; as such the most significant instance of the inspirational knowledge that he has been given is that the human child starts sucking the mother’s milk soon on birth, which no one could teach it, had it, not been taught of it instinctively by God. Another position of man is that he is a rational being. As such God has been blessing him with inspirational guidance continuously since the time of his creation, by virtue of which he has been discovering things and making inventions to develop his civilization. Anyone who studies the history of these discoveries and inventions will realize that there was hardly any which might be the result of man’s own effort or thought, but mostly it so happened that suddenly an idea struck a person and he discovered or invented something. Besides these two, another position of man is that he is a moral being. In this position too Allah has blessed him by inspiration with discrimination between good and evil and of the realization of the good to be good and of the evil to be evil. This sense of discrimination and realization is a universal truth on account of which no human society in the world has ever been without the concepts of good and evil; there has never been in history, nor is there now, a society which may not be having some kind of a system of rewarding the good and punishing the evil. This fact being prevalent in every age, at every place, and at every stage of civilization is a clear proof of its being natural and innate. Furthermore, this is also proof that a Wise Creator possessed of knowledge has endued man’s nature with it, for in the elements of which man is made up and the laws which govern the material system of the world, no human origin of morals can be traced out. This is for which an oath has been sworn by the things mentioned in the above verses. Let us now consider how those things bear upon it. The rule that Allah has followed in the Quran is that to bear testimony to the truth that He wants to impress on the human mind, he cites some of the most conspicuous, common-place things which every man sees in his surroundings, or in his own self. Accordingly here, pairs of contradictory things have been cited, each unlike the other in its effects and results, rather opposite and reverse. The first pair is of the sun and the moon. The light of the sun is intensely bright and also hot. As against it the moon has no light of its own. Even if it is there in the sky when the sun shines, it is without light. It shines when the sun hides, and even then its light is neither so bright that it may change the night into day nor is there any heat in it that it may have the same effect as the sun’s light. Nevertheless, it has its own effects which are quite different from the effects of the sun. Likewise, there is the pair of the day and the night. Each is the reverse of the other. The effects and results of each are so different from the other that no one can say they are alike; so much so that even a most foolish person cannot possibly say that the day’s being the day or the night’s being the night does not make any difference. Likewise, there is the pair of the sky and the earth; the former has been raised high by the Creator and the latter spread like a carpet beneath it. Although both are serving the same universe, its system and expediencies, yet there is a world of difference between their functions and their effects and results. After citing these universal evidences, man’s own self has been considered, and it has been said that after balancing it with suitable combination of the limbs, senses and mental powers and faculties the Creator has placed in it tendencies, inclinations and motives to both good and evil, which are contradictory to each other, and made him understand by inspiration the distinction between the two: that one is fujur, which is evil, and the other is taqva, which is good. Now, if the sun and the moon, the day and the night, the earth and the heaven, are not alike but necessarily different from each other in their effects and results, how can fujur and taqva of the self be alike in spite of being reverse of each other? Man himself in this world does not regard and acknowledge the good and the evil as equal, no matter what criteria of good and evil he might have devised for himself according to his self-propounded philosophies. In any case, about whatever he regards as good, he holds the opinion that it is appreciable and worthy of praise, reward and recompense. On the contrary, about whatever he regards as evil, it is his own objective opinion that it is worthy of condemnation and punishment. But the real judgment does not lie with man; it lies with the Creator, Who has inspired man with his fujur and taqva. The fujur is that which is fujur in the sight of the Creator and the taqva is that which is taqva in His sight. And both have separate results in the sight of the Creator. The result of the one is that he who purifies his self, should attain to eternal success, and the result of the other is that he who suppresses his self, should be a failure. Tazkiyah means to purify, develop and cultivate. In the context it clearly means: The one who purifies his self of fujur and develops it to the level of taqva and cultivates in it the good, will attain to eternal success. As against this, the word dassaha has been used, the infinitive of which is tadsiyah, which means to suppress, conceal, seduce and lead astray. The meaning of this also becomes clear from the context; i.e. the one who suppresses the tendency in his self towards good instead of developing and cultivating it, who seduces it into doing evil, and makes fujur dominate over taqva so as to cover it up completely, like the dead body which is buried and covered with earth, will be a failure. Some commentators have interpreted this verse to mean: Truly successful was he whom (whose self) Allah purified, and a failure he whom (whose self) Allah suppressed. But this commentary is, firstly, opposed to the style of the Quran in view of the language, for if Allah had meant to say this, He would have said: Truly successful was the self which Allah purified and a failure the self which Allah suppressed; secondly, this commentary clashes with the other statements of the Quran on this subject. In Surah Al- Aala, Allah says: Truly successful was he who adopted purity. (verse 14). In Surah Abasa, Allah has addressed His Messenger (peace be upon him), saying: And you would not be responsible if he did not adopt purity. In both these verses, adoption of purity has been regarded as an act of man. Besides, the truth stated at many places in the Quran is that man in this world is being put to the test. For example, in Surah Ad-Dahr, it is said: We created man from a mixed sperm-drop to try him, and so We made him capable of hearing and seeing. (verse 2). In Surah Al-Mulk it is stated: Who created death and life that he may try you to see which of you is best in deeds. (verse 2). Now, obviously, if the examiner at the outset encourages one candidate and discourages the other, the test would he a farce. Therefore, the correct commentary is that which Qatadah, Ikrimah, Mujahid and Saeed bin Jubair have given, saying that the subject zakkaha and dassaha is man and not God. As for the Hadith which Ibn Abi Hatim has related on the authority of Juwaybir bin Saeed from Dahhak from Ibn Abbas, saying that the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself interpreted this verse to mean: Truly successful was the self whom the Almighty Allah purified. This saying is not confirmed to be from the Prophet (peace be upon him), for its one reporter Juwaybir, has been rejected as a narrator of Hadith, and Dahhak did not meet Ibn Abbas. However, the Hadith which Imam Ahmad, Muslim, Nasai and Ibn Abi Shaibah have related on the authority of Zaid bin Arqam, is correct which says that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to pray: O Allah, grant my self its taqva and purify it; You alone are the best to purify it; You alone are its Guardian and Master. In almost similar words, this supplication of the Prophet (peace be upon him) has been related by Tabarani, Ibn Marduyah and lbn al-Mundhir from Abdullah bin Abbas. All these Ahadith also give the same meaning that has been expressed in this commentary.

Verse 33:72 (Surah Al-Ahzab)

Arabic Text:
إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ ظَلُومًا جَهُولًا

English Translation:
Indeed, We offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, being afraid thereof; but man [undertook to] bear it. Indeed, he was unjust [to himself] and ignorant [of its results]. 33

Explanation (Tafsir):
The “trust” referred to here is the vicegerency of the earth, which Allah offered to the heavens, earth and mountains, but they declined, being afraid. Man accepted it. This trust includes free will, responsibility, and accountability for actions. The consequence is that Allah may chastise hypocritical men and hypocritical women and accept the repentance of believing men and believing women. Allah is Most Forgiving, Ever Merciful. 34

COMPARING EXPLANATIONS BY DUFFERENT SCHOLARS

Comparison of Tafsirs on Human Free Will in the Quran: Maududi vs. Ibn Kathir

The Quran’s discussion of human free will balances divine guidance with personal choice and accountability. Below, I compare the explanations from Tafheem-ul-Quran by Abul Ala Maududi (as provided previously) with those from Tafsir Ibn Kathir, a classical Sunni tafsir emphasizing hadith and early scholarly opinions. Ibn Kathir’s approach is often more literal and focuses on prophetic traditions, while Maududi’s is interpretive, linking to broader social and moral implications. Key similarities include the emphasis on Allah’s guidance, human agency, and consequences; differences arise in depth of historical context or specific interpretations (e.g., Ibn Kathir often cites abrogation or companions’ views).

Verse 16:93 (Surah An-Nahl)

Arabic Text:
وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٲحِدَةً وَلَـٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَلَتُسْــَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

English Translation (from Ibn Kathir):
And had Allah willed, He could have made you (all) one Ummah (nation or community), but He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. But you shall certainly be called to account for what you used to do. 0

Explanation (Tafsir) from Ibn Kathir:
If Allah had willed, He would have made all of humanity one nation. This means that had Allah willed, He could have made you all one Ummah, but He admits whom He wills to His mercy. And the Zalimun (wrongdoers) will have neither a protector nor a helper. This emphasizes that Allah could have compelled unity in faith, but instead allows diversity, leading some astray and guiding others based on His will, with ultimate accountability for actions. 0 3

Comparison with Maududi:
Both scholars stress that Allah could have forced humanity into one community without differences, highlighting free choice as part of the divine plan. Maududi expands on this as a warning against forcing religion, emphasizing human freedom to choose paths, while Ibn Kathir focuses more on divine mercy and the consequences for wrongdoers, aligning with his hadith-based style.

Verse 18:29 (Surah Al-Kahf)

Arabic Text:
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ ۚ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا ۚ وَإِنْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغَاثُوا بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ ۚ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

English Translation (from Ibn Kathir):
And say: “The truth is from your Lord.” Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve. Verily, We have prepared for the Zalimun (wrongdoers), a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them. And if they ask for drink, they will be granted water like Al-Muhl, that will scald their faces. Terrible is the drink, and an evil Murtafaq (dwelling place)! 7

Explanation (Tafsir) from Ibn Kathir:
The truth is from Allah, and the punishment of those who do not believe in it. Allah says to His Messenger Muhammad: “Say to the people, ‘What I have brought to you from your Lord is the truth, in which there is no confusion or doubt.’” Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve. Verily, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose walls will surround them. This underscores free will in accepting or rejecting the truth, with vivid descriptions of Hell as a consequence for disbelief. 7 5

Comparison with Maududi:
Maududi views this as a plain declaration of truth with freedom to accept or reject, containing a warning without compulsion. Ibn Kathir similarly emphasizes voluntary belief but adds more detail on the horrors of punishment, drawing from prophetic descriptions. Both affirm no coercion, but Ibn Kathir ties it closely to the Prophet’s role in conveyance.

Verse 2:256 (Surah Al-Baqarah)

Arabic Text:
لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ ۖ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ ۚ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

English Translation (from Ibn Kathir):
There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower. 10

Explanation (Tafsir) from Ibn Kathir:
No compulsion in religion. Allah said, “There is no compulsion in religion,” meaning, “Do not force anyone to become Muslim, for Islam is plain and clear, and its proofs and evidence are plain and clear. Therefore, there is no need to force anyone to embrace Islam. Rather, whoever Allah directs to Islam, opens his heart for it and enlightens his mind, will embrace Islam with certainty. Whoever Allah blinds his heart and seals his hearing and sight, then he will not benefit from being forced to embrace Islam.” 10 11

Comparison with Maududi:
Both reject compulsion, noting the clarity of truth distinguishes right from wrong. Maududi stresses that Islam cannot be imposed as it requires heartfelt acceptance, while Ibn Kathir adds that divine guidance is key, and some views (noted in sources) discuss abrogation in specific contexts like warfare, though the core principle of no forced conversion remains.

Verse 76:3 (Surah Al-Insan)

Arabic Text:
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا

English Translation (from Ibn Kathir):
Verily, We have guided him to the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful. 15

Explanation (Tafsir) from Ibn Kathir:
Allah swears that man is ungrateful and undeserving. Verily, We guided him to the way, meaning, “We explained it to him, clarified it and made it easy for him to act upon.” Whether he be grateful or ungrateful, meaning, “We have given him the means of guidance and made it clear to him and allowed him to choose whichever path he wishes to follow, whether he appreciates Our blessings upon him and is grateful or not.” 15

Comparison with Maududi:
Maududi details multiple forms of guidance (moral sense, conscience, signs in creation, prophets), while Ibn Kathir is concise, focusing on Allah’s clarification of the path and human choice between gratitude (belief) and ingratitude (disbelief). Both see guidance as enabling free will.

Verses 91:7-10 (Surah Ash-Shams)

Arabic Text:
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا ۝ فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا ۝ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا ۝ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسَّاهَا

English Translation (from Ibn Kathir):
By the soul and Him Who perfected it in proportion; then He showed it what is wrong for it and what is right for it. Indeed he succeeds who purifies it, and indeed he fails who corrupts it. 21

Explanation (Tafsir) from Ibn Kathir:
Allah swears by the Nafs (soul) and Who created it and perfected its inclination for evil and its inclination for good. Then He inspired it with its Fujur (wickedness) and its Taqwa (piety), meaning He showed it its Fujur and its Taqwa. Indeed he succeeds who purifies it (by obedience to Allah and His laws), and indeed he fails who Dassaha (conceals or corrupts it by neglecting its purification). 21 20

Comparison with Maududi:
Both provide extensive explanations: Maududi discusses innate moral discernment, inspiration of good/evil, and success through cultivation of piety. Ibn Kathir similarly notes divine perfection of the soul with dual inclinations, but cites more oaths and examples from creation to affirm the theme. Maududi links to societal values; Ibn Kathir to obedience via laws.

Verse 33:72 (Surah Al-Ahzab)

Arabic Text:
إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ ظَلُومًا جَهُولًا

English Translation (from Ibn Kathir):
Verily, We did offer Al-Amanah (the trust) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they declined to bear it and were afraid of it. But man bore it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and ignorant (of its results). 25

Explanation (Tafsir) from Ibn Kathir:
How man bore the Amanah. Al-Amanah means obedience (or obligatory duties). This was offered to the heavens, earth, and mountains before Adam, but they could not bear it. Allah offered it to Adam, who accepted: “If you do good, you will be rewarded; if evil, punished.” Man bore it despite being unjust and ignorant, leading to accountability where hypocrites are punished and believers forgiven. 25 26

Comparison with Maududi:
Maududi sees the Amanah as vicegerency (khilafah) with free will and responsibility. Ibn Kathir interprets it as obedience to commands, citing companions like Ibn Abbas. Both view it as a heavy trust involving choice, reward, and punishment, but Ibn Kathir emphasizes hadith narratives about the offer to creation.

Comparison of Tafsirs on Human Free Will in the Quran: Maududi vs. Ibn Kathir vs. Al-Tabari

The Quran’s perspective on human free will integrates divine sovereignty with individual choice, underscoring accountability. Below, I compare explanations from Tafheem-ul-Quran by Maududi (interpretive and socio-moral), Tafsir Ibn Kathir (hadith-focused and literal), and Jami’ al-Bayan by Al-Tabari (early classical, emphasizing linguistic analysis, hadith, and scholarly opinions). Al-Tabari’s tafsir often collects variant interpretations from companions and early scholars, prioritizing the most reliable. Similarities include affirming Allah’s guidance and human agency; differences lie in emphasis—Tabari on linguistic/historical depth, Ibn Kathir on prophetic traditions, and Maududi on practical implications.

Verse 16:93 (Surah An-Nahl)

Arabic Text:
وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٲحِدَةً وَلَـٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَلَتُسْــَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

English Translation:
Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation, but He leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do. 9

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Tabari:
God Almighty says: And if your Lord had willed, O people, He would have been gracious to you by granting success from Him, so that you all become one group, and people of one religion without differing or separating, but He, exalted be His mention, contradicted that and left you to your choices. He misguides whom He wills by abandoning them, and guides whom He wills by granting them success. And you will surely be asked about what you did in the world, and you will be rewarded for it. 4 0

Comparison:
Maududi emphasizes this as a rejection of forced religion, highlighting human freedom and Allah’s provision for guidance to those who seek it. Ibn Kathir focuses on divine mercy in allowing choice, with accountability for wrongdoers. Al-Tabari aligns closely with Ibn Kathir, stressing Allah’s will in guidance/misguidance as abandonment or success, but adds linguistic nuance on “one religion” and human choices leading to questioning.

Verse 18:29 (Surah Al-Kahf)

Arabic Text:
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ ۚ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا ۚ وَإِنْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغَاثُوا بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ ۚ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

English Translation:
And say: “The truth is from your Lord.” Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve. Verily, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose walls will surround them. 11

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Tabari:
Al-Tabari collects opinions: The verse means the Quran is truth from your Lord, so let whoever wills believe in it and whoever wills disbelieve. He notes early scholars like Ibn Abbas interpret it as a threat, emphasizing free choice but with consequences in Hell for disbelievers, described vividly as a fire with enclosing walls. 11 17

Comparison:
Maududi sees it as a declaration of voluntary faith with warnings. Ibn Kathir stresses the Prophet’s role in conveying truth and Hell’s horrors. Al-Tabari, like Ibn Kathir, uses companion views to affirm choice and punishment, but provides more variants on “truth” as the Quran or divine message.

Verse 2:256 (Surah Al-Baqarah)

Arabic Text:
لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ ۖ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ ۚ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

English Translation:
There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejects the false deities and believes in Allah has grasped a firm handhold which will never break. 21

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Tabari:
Al-Tabari explains: No one from the People of the Book or Magians should be coerced into Islam after Arabs embraced it. He cites revelations about Ansar not forcing children, emphasizing clear distinction between guidance (rushd) and error (ghayy), with faith as a firm handle. Some opinions link it to abrogation by later verses on fighting, but Tabari favors it as prohibiting compulsion due to Islam’s evident truth. 27 23 24 20

Comparison:
Maududi stresses heartfelt acceptance without force. Ibn Kathir notes divine guidance’s role and clarity negating compulsion. Al-Tabari provides historical context (e.g., Ansar incident) and debates on abrogation, aligning with Ibn Kathir but offering more scholarly variants, emphasizing freedom due to truth’s self-evidence.

Verse 76:3 (Surah Al-Insan)

Arabic Text:
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا

English Translation:
Verily, We have guided him to the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful. 31

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Tabari:
We guided him to the path by sending messengers and books, showing the way to Allah, encouraging it, and informing of rewards. He explains “shakiran” (grateful) as believer and “kafuran” (ungrateful) as disbeliever, with man choosing despite guidance. 32 31

Comparison:
Maududi details forms of guidance (conscience, signs, prophets). Ibn Kathir sees it as clarifying paths for choice between gratitude and ingratitude. Al-Tabari emphasizes messengers and books as guidance tools, similar to Ibn Kathir, but collects opinions on “way” as path to Allah or good/evil.

Verses 91:7-10 (Surah Ash-Shams)

Arabic Text:
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا ۝ فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا ۝ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا ۝ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسَّاهَا

English Translation:
By the soul and Him Who perfected it; then He inspired it with its wickedness and piety. Successful is he who purifies it, and failed is he who corrupts it. 40

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Tabari:
Al-Tabari explains: Allah swears by the soul and its Creator who proportioned it, inspiring knowledge of sin (fujur) and piety (taqwa). Success for purifying the soul through obedience; failure for corrupting it with sin. He cites companions like Ibn Abbas on inspiration as showing good/evil paths. 41 47 44

Comparison:
Maududi discusses innate discernment and success through cultivating piety. Ibn Kathir notes dual inclinations and purification via laws. Al-Tabari, like Ibn Kathir, uses oaths and companion views, emphasizing inspiration as knowledge of wickedness/piety, with linguistic focus on “dassaha” as corrupting.

Verse 33:72 (Surah Al-Ahzab)

Arabic Text:
إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ ظَلُومًا جَهُولًا

English Translation:
Verily, We offered the Trust to the heavens, earth, and mountains, but they declined and feared it; man undertook it. He was unjust and ignorant. 52

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Tabari:
The Amanah is obligatory duties (fara’id) or religion’s trusts (prayer, limits). Heavens/earth/mountains refused due to fear of failure; man (Adam) accepted, proving unjust/ignorant in consequences. Tabari cites variants: Amanah as obedience, intellect, or free will with accountability. 50 51 52 53

Comparison:
Maududi views Amanah as vicegerency with free will. Ibn Kathir interprets as obedience/duties offered to creation. Al-Tabari collects most opinions (e.g., Ibn Abbas on fara’id), emphasizing fear of punishment/reward, aligning with Ibn Kathir but broader in variants.

AL RAZI TAFSEER

Comparison of Tafsirs on Human Free Will in the Quran: Maududi vs. Ibn Kathir vs. Al-Tabari vs. Al-Razi

The Quran’s treatment of human free will (ikhtiyar) reconciles divine will (qadr) with personal agency, stressing accountability. Here, I extend the comparison to include Tafsir al-Kabir (Mafatih al-Ghayb) by Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (d. 1209 CE), a rationalist Ash’arite scholar whose work emphasizes philosophy, linguistics, and theology. Al-Razi often leans toward determinism: He argues that all human acts are created by Allah, making free will apparent but ultimately compelled (e.g., humans act like marionettes under divine control). This contrasts with Maududi’s emphasis on practical moral freedom, Ibn Kathir’s hadith-based balance of choice and divine guidance, and Al-Tabari’s collection of early opinions favoring human responsibility. Al-Razi’s views influenced later debates, viewing free will as illusory to uphold Allah’s omnipotence, while others see it as genuine within divine bounds.

Verse 16:93 (Surah An-Nahl)

Arabic Text:
وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٲحِدَةً وَلَـٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَلَتُسْــَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

English Translation:
Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation, but He leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do. 0

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Razi:
Al-Razi interprets this as emphasizing divine sovereignty: Allah could unify humanity in faith but allows diversity through His will. Misguidance and guidance are solely Allah’s acts, not human choice. Humans are questioned for deeds, but acts stem from divine creation, making free will apparent—man chooses under compulsion disguised as freedom. This aligns with his determinism, where human “will” is illusory. 0 2 3

Comparison:
Maududi stresses human freedom: Allah grants choice, providing guidance for seekers and allowing deviation. Ibn Kathir focuses on mercy in permitting astray paths with accountability. Al-Tabari sees it as Allah’s success or abandonment based on choices. Al-Razi’s determinism starkly differs, subordinating choice to divine compulsion, resolving tensions by denying genuine autonomy.

Verse 18:29 (Surah Al-Kahf)

Arabic Text:
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ ۚ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا ۚ وَإِنْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغَاثُوا بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ ۚ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

English Translation:
And say: “The truth is from your Lord.” Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve. Verily, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose walls will surround them. 11

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Razi:
Al-Razi views this as apparent choice: “Whoever Allah wills to have faith will believe; whoever Allah wills to disbelieve will disbelieve.” Human will is compelled in the guise of choice—like a marionette thinking it acts freely. Punishment follows, but acts are divinely created, upholding justice through predetermination. 14 13 18

Comparison:
Maududi sees voluntary faith with warnings, no compulsion. Ibn Kathir emphasizes conveyance and Hell’s consequences. Al-Tabari collects views on threat and vivid punishment. Al-Razi’s metaphor of disguised compulsion contrasts, prioritizing divine will over human agency, unlike the others’ affirmation of real choice.

Verse 2:256 (Surah Al-Baqarah)

Arabic Text:
لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ ۖ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ ۚ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

English Translation:
There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejects the false deities and believes in Allah has grasped a firm handhold which will never break. 21

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Razi:
No compulsion means truth is evident, negating force. Yet, Al-Razi ties it to determinism: Belief requires divine permission; hearts are sealed or opened by Allah. Free will is limited—humans grasp the “firm handle” only if Allah enables it, aligning with his view that acts are divinely compelled. 20 24 62

Comparison:
Maududi: Heartfelt acceptance, no imposition. Ibn Kathir: Guidance clarifies, no force needed. Al-Tabari: Historical (e.g., Ansar), prohibits compulsion due to evident truth, debates abrogation. Al-Razi integrates philosophy, subordinating choice to divine enablement, differing from others’ practical freedom.

Verse 76:3 (Surah Al-Insan)

Arabic Text:
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا

English Translation:
Verily, We have guided him to the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful. 31

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Razi:
Guidance is divine clarification of paths; gratitude (belief) or ingratitude (disbelief) appears chosen but is divinely created. Al-Razi rejects genuine free will, seeing human response as compelled by Allah’s will, resolving predestination debates. 30 32 33

Comparison:
Maududi: Multiple guidances (conscience, signs) enable real choice. Ibn Kathir: Clarification allows gratitude/ingratitude. Al-Tabari: Messengers/books show paths. Al-Razi’s determinism views choice as illusory, contrasting the others’ affirmation of voluntary response.

Verses 91:7-10 (Surah Ash-Shams)

Arabic Text:
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا ۝ فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا ۝ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا ۝ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسَّاهَا

English Translation:
By the soul and Him Who perfected it; then He inspired it with its wickedness and piety. Successful is he who purifies it, and failed is he who corrupts it. 40

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Razi:
The soul is proportioned with dual inclinations; inspiration imparts knowledge of evil (fujur) and piety (taqwa). Purification or corruption appears as choice but is divinely determined—success/failure stems from Allah’s creation of acts. 41 40 62

Comparison:
Maududi: Innate discernment, success via cultivating piety. Ibn Kathir: Dual inclinations, purification through obedience. Al-Tabari: Inspiration as knowledge, success in obedience. Al-Razi denies real agency, viewing outcomes as compelled, unlike the others.

Verse 33:72 (Surah Al-Ahzab)

Arabic Text:
إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ ظَلُومًا جَهُولًا

English Translation:
Verily, We offered the Trust to the heavens, earth, and mountains, but they declined and feared it; man undertook it. He was unjust and ignorant. 52

Explanation (Tafsir) from Al-Razi:
Amanah is obligatory duties or intellect/free will offered to creation. Man accepted, proving unjust/ignorant in consequences, as free will leads to accountability under divine compulsion—acts are created by Allah. 50 53 62

Comparison:
Maududi: Vicegerency with free will. Ibn Kathir: Obedience/duties. Al-Tabari: Fara’id (duties), variants include intellect. Al-Razi’s determinism frames acceptance as predestined, differing from others’ emphasis on voluntary responsibility.

AL GhAZALI TAFSEER

Al-Ghazali’s Views on Free Will

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (1058–1111 CE), a prominent Islamic theologian, philosopher, and mystic, addressed the tension between divine predestination (qadar) and human free will (ikhtiyar) within the Ash’arite school of theology. His views aim to reconcile human moral responsibility with God’s absolute sovereignty, rejecting both absolute determinism (jabr) and unrestricted free will as held by the Mu’tazilites. Al-Ghazali’s approach is often described as a form of compatibilism, where human agency exists but operates under divine control. Central to his thought is the doctrine of occasionalism (where God is the sole true cause of all events) and the concept of kasb (acquisition), where humans “acquire” actions created by God. 0 2 13

Key Concepts in Al-Ghazali’s Framework

1. Occasionalism and Divine Causation:

• Al-Ghazali argued in works like The Incoherence of the Philosophers (Tahafut al-Falasifah) that there is no necessary causal connection in nature. What appears as cause-and-effect (e.g., fire burning cotton) is merely God’s habitual custom (adat Allah), not inherent necessity. God recreates the universe atom by atom at every moment, directly causing all events. 3 5 13
• This extends to human actions: Humans intend and choose, but the power to act (qudra) is granted by God instantaneously at the moment of action. Without God’s creation, no act occurs. Thus, free will is not independent but contingent on divine will. 0 2

1. Kasb (Acquisition):

• Humans do not create their actions (khalq); God does. However, through kasb, individuals acquire or appropriate these actions via their intention and choice, making them morally responsible. Al-Ghazali likened this to a person “acquiring” an act like a puppet moved by a puppeteer— the puppet’s “movement” is real but derived. 5 10
• This resolves the predestination-free will dilemma: God predetermines possibilities, but humans choose from them, acquiring reward or punishment accordingly. As Al-Ghazali states in Ihya Ulum al-Din(Revival of the Religious Sciences), human agency is a “gift from His grace,” neither fully independent nor coerced. 0 6

1. Critique of Philosophers and Theologians:

• Against Peripatetic philosophers like Avicenna (Ibn Sina), Al-Ghazali rejected eternal causal necessity, arguing it limits God’s freedom. The world is a contingent creation of God’s free will, chosen among alternatives. 3 7 10
• He critiqued Mu’tazilite emphasis on absolute human free will as undermining divine omnipotence. Instead, he reframed freedom within divine boundaries: Humans are free in intention but bound by God’s creation. 4 8 12
• In Al-Iqtisad fi al-I’tiqad (Moderation in Belief), he uses rational methods to show neither divine determination nor human responsibility is denied; freedom is “reframed” within predestination. 6

Theological and Philosophical Implications

• Compatibilism and Theistic Sovereignty: Al-Ghazali’s view is a “theistic compatibilism,” where free will aligns with God’s plan. Humans experience psychological freedom (no compulsion in choice), but ultimate causation is divine. This preserves moral accountability for the afterlife—rewards for good intentions and punishments for bad—while affirming God’s omnipotence. 0 11
• Criticisms and Influence: Some, like Muhammad Iqbal, critiqued Al-Ghazali for not fully escaping dualism, seeing his occasionalism as reducing humans to passive agents. 14 Others praise his synthesis, influencing later thinkers like Mulla Sadra and Ibn Arabi. 7 12
• Comparison to Western Thought: His ideas parallel Augustine’s on divine foreknowledge and free will, where God obliges what is best but remains free. 9

Al-Ghazali’s writings emphasize that true freedom lies in submission to God, aligning personal will with divine will through spiritual purification. 5 For deeper reading, consult The Incoherence of the Philosophers or Revival of the Religious Sciences.

Introductory note:

Entities like groups, organizations, factories, states of countries and countries as a whole do have organized way of running matters smoothly, designate work/ responsibilities amongst constituents to function smoothly. States of a country cannot rebel against central government and follow only state laws and ignore central government laws. Empires, countries their boundaries change, new people are given responsibilities of running affairs of different countries with its states or provinces. Some freedoms are given to states and provinces to make their laws as per local needs though the guidelines do come from central gov. We observe the history of power of area of land never stayed in hands if groups or individuals for ever. Like wise ownership too changed hands over time. The one who owns the land gets to dictate terms and conditions for managing affairs. USA won’t allow Chinese or Russian laws to be practiced in its land. India won’t let Pakistani laws be practiced in India vice versa. 

ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVES 

Monotheistic faiths all believe in ONE GOD WHO CREATED THE WORLD, OWNS AND MANAGES ALL AFFAIRS. GOD GAVE VICREGENCY to human beings designated responsibility for certain period and changed to others in time. HE dictates terms of governance with some freedoms. Governors as designated and are not owner of the place by themselves. People of the area to follow the state rules, follow the governor and the rules from central gov. In that order and picking and choosing only add to chaos and be labeled as disobedient. 

Current state of affairs: emperors, elected governments , kings, & dictators declared the ownership of the area they were given or snatched powers. Historically they could not hold power for long. 

GOD sent holy books , prophets to guide humanity as HE has the wisdom, has best interest in HIS CREATIONS and clearly mentioned HIS grand scheme. There are going to be rewards and punishments in this world and the world hereafter based on obedience and disobedience. Free will is give to human beings.

PROBLEM

We can easily understand the way of governance, good and bad governance and moving parts of governance. We have much difficulty in accepting the AUTHORITY OF OUR GOD. We agree HE IS SUPREME, don’t like to follow what instructions have been given which are in our best interest. ITs HARD TO SWALLOW TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIS SUPREMACY AND OBEY HIS INSTRUCTIONS AMONGST FOLLOWERS OF MONOTHEISTIC FAITHS INCLUDING MUSLIMS WITH DIFFERENT EXCUSES

SHARING QURANIC PERSPECTIVES ON THESE MATTERS

Verses on Obeying God and His Prophet from Tafheem-ul-Quran

As complied by deepseek 

Here is a detailed compilation of key verses from the Quran on the subject of obeying Allah and His Prophet (ﷺ), along with translations and explanations based on Tafheem-ul-Quran (The Meaning of the Quran) by Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi.

---

Introduction from Tafheem-ul-Qaran’s Perspective

In Tafheem-ul-Quran, Maududi emphasizes that obedience to the Prophet (ﷺ) is not a separate or independent obedience. It is the practical manifestation of obedience to Allah. The Prophet’s authority is derived, and his commands are to be followed because they represent the divine will and provide the detailed application of Quranic principles. Disobedience to the Prophet is equated with disobedience to Allah, as it signifies a rejection of the chosen medium of divine guidance.

Key Verses with Translation and Tafseer

1. The Fundamental Command

Arabic:

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ
Translation (Sahih International):
“O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.”
Surah & Verse: An-Nisa (4:59)

Tafheem-ul-Quran (Explanation):

· This is the cornerstone verse on the subject. The repetition of the word “أَطِيعُوا” (obey) for both Allah and the Messenger indicates that obedience to the Prophet is obligatory and explicit, not merely implied.
· “Those in authority” (أُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ) refers to the legitimate Muslim rulers and authorities who themselves are obeying Allah and His Messenger. Their obedience is conditional upon their submission to Islamic law. There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator.
· The verse then continues, “Then if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger,” establishing the Quran and Sunnah as the ultimate arbitration.

2. Obedience to the Prophet is Obedience to Allah

Arabic:

مَّن يُطِعِ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ ٱللَّهَ
Translation (Sahih International):
“He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah.”
Surah & Verse: An-Nisa (4:80)

Tafheem-ul-Quran (Explanation):

· Maududi explains that this verse removes any artificial distinction. The Prophet does not speak from his own desire (as stated in Surah An-Najm 53:3). Therefore, his teachings and commands in matters of religion are, in reality, the commands of Allah.
· Disobedience to him is thus a direct act of rebellion against divine authority.

3. The Test of Faith

Arabic:

فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّىٰ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوا۟ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا
Translation (Sahih International):
“But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission.”
Surah & Verse: An-Nisa (4:65)

Tafheem-ul-Quran (Explanation):

· This is a very strong verse, sworn by Allah Himself. True faith (Iman) is not complete merely by verbal declaration.
· It requires: 1) Accepting the Prophet (ﷺ) as the judge in all disputes. 2) Having no psychological reluctance or “tightness in the heart” against his judgment. 3) Submitting to it completely.
· Maududi stresses that this is the criterion to distinguish true belief from hypocrisy.

4. The Consequences of Disobedience

Arabic:

وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا
Translation (Sahih International):
“And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger – then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.”
Surah & Verse: Al-Jinn (72:23)

Tafheem-ul-Quran (Explanation):

· The verse clearly links disobedience to both Allah and His Messenger as leading to the same grave consequence: eternal Hellfire.
· This underscores the inseparable nature of the two obediences in the consequences as well as the command.

5. Following the Prophet is a Means of Divine Love and Forgiveness

Arabic:

قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ
Translation (Sahih International):
“Say, [O Muhammad], ‘If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins.’”
Surah & Verse: Aal-e-Imran (3:31)

Tafheem-ul-Quran (Explanation):

· Maududi explains that this verse refutes empty claims of love for Allah. True love is proven through action: by following the way of life (Sunnah) of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
· The reward for this following is the ultimate blessing: the love of Allah and His forgiveness.

6. The Command to Accept and Hold Fast

Arabic:

وَمَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَىٰكُمْ عَنْهُ فَٱنتَهُوا۟
Translation (Sahih International):
“And whatever the Messenger has given you – take; and what he has forbidden you – refrain from.”
Surah & Verse: Al-Hashr (59:7)

Tafheem-ul-Quran (Explanation):

· This verse establishes the legislative authority of the Prophet (ﷺ). His “giving” and “forbidding” are binding upon the believers.
· This applies to all matters of the Shariah – legal, moral, and spiritual. It forms the basis for accepting the Hadith and Sunnah as a primary source of Islamic law alongside the Quran.

Summary from Tafheem-ul-Quran’s Viewpoint

1. Non-Negotiable Link: Obedience to the Prophet (ﷺ) is a divine command and an integral part of obeying Allah. They cannot be separated.
2. Criterion of Faith: Willing submission to the Prophet’s judgment, without any internal resentment, is a true test of genuine Iman (faith).
3. Practical Blueprint: The Sunnah of the Prophet is the only authentic and divinely-sanctioned explanation and implementation of the Quranic message. To follow the Quran, one must follow the one to whom it was revealed.
4. Conditional Obedience to Authority: Obedience to “those in authority” is subordinate and conditional upon their obedience to Allah and His Messenger. The Quran and Sunnah are the supreme authority.
5. Path to Salvation: Following the Prophet is the only way to achieve Allah’s love, forgiveness, and ultimate success in the Hereafter.

May Allah grant us the ability to understand His Deen and follow the Sunnah of His Prophet (ﷺ) with sincerity and consistency.

1. الْفَحْشَاءِ (Al-Fahsha’ – Indecency/Shameful Deeds):
   · Meaning: This refers to all acts that are morally obscene, lewd, and violate public decency. It primarily points to sexual immorality (like adultery/fornication) but also includes vulgar speech and behavior.
2. وَالْمُنكَرِ (Wa Al-Munkar – The Wrong/Evil):
   · Meaning: This encompasses all that is universally recognized as evil and rejected by sound human nature and divine law. It includes sins like dishonesty, disrespect, shirk (associating partners with Allah), and abandoning religious obligations.
   · Maududi’s Emphasis: Munkar is broader than Fahsha’; it is any evil that human conscience, unless corrupted, naturally condemns.
3. وَالْبَغْيِ (Wa Al-Baghy – Oppression/Transgression):
   · Meaning: This is the act of wronging others, transgressing their rights, and acting unjustly out of arrogance or desire. It includes tyranny, exploitation, bullying, and usurping what belongs to others.
   · Maududi’s Emphasis: Baghy is the direct opposite of Adl (justice). It destroys the social order that the three positive commands seek to build.
