PREFACE
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, Who honored the nation of Prophet
Muhammad, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, with the Glorious Qur’an and protected it from
perversion. We humbly ask Allah to raise the rank of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ^alayhi
wa sallam, whom Allah sent to call the people and the jinn to the Correct Path. We ask Allah
to raise the rank of the kind Al 1 and Companions of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ^alayhi
wa sallam, and to protect his nation from what he fears for them.
The Science of Tafsir (^Ilm at-Tafsir), which is the knowledge of the interpretation of
the Qur’an, is an honorable knowledge with which one is enabled to comprehend the
precious meanings of the Glorious Qur’an. The Science of Tafsir leads to the proper
deduction of the religious judgments contained in the Qur’an and to the benefit of taking
lessons from the stories narrated therein. Moreover, this science explains the reasons behind
the revelation of its verses (ayahs), addresses subjects such as whether the verses were
revealed in Makkah (Makkiyyan) or in al-Madinah (Madiniyyan), whether they have one
clear meaning (muhkam) or have more than one meaning and require a proper deduction of
an appropriate meaning (mutashabih), abrogating (nasikh) or abrogated (mansukh), specific
(khas) or general (^am), and whether they contain a threat of castigation (wa^id) or a promise
of reward (wa^d), and many other benefits.
The honor of the Science of Tafsir is grand and the reward of spreading it is
magnificent. We have attempted to translate into the English language the interpretation of
the Thirtieth (29th) part of the Qur’an (Juz’ Tabaraka). We relied in our endeavor on precious
books of interpretation in the Arabic language. One of which is Al-Bahr Al-Muhit, authored
by Abu Hayyan Al-Andalusiyy. Another text is the interpretation of An Nasafiyy. We relied
on both in compiling this interpretation of Juz’ Tabarak al Mulk the twenty ninth part of the
Qur’an along with a precious document compiled by the Research Division of the
Association of Islamic Charitable Projects.

INTRODUCTION
It is Islamically unlawful to translate the ayahs of the Qur’an word for word into
other languages. Allah said: {������� ��� ������ ���������� � ��� �� ��} (Surah Taha, 113). This ayah means:
[We have revealed the Qur’an in the Arabic language.] In another ayah, Allah informed us
that the Qur’an was revealed in an explicit Arabic mother tongue. This meaning is explicit in
the saying of Allah: {������ ! �"�� �#��$�%��} (Surah ash-Shu^ara’, 195). Moreover, the richness
contained in the vocabulary of the Arabic language is non-existent in other languages. For
instance, the Arabic word qur' ( )���� may refer to the menstrual period and/or to the cleanliness
period of the woman.
Allah revealed many Holy Books to His Prophets. Sheikh Shamsud-Din ar-Ramliyy
mentioned in his book, Nihayat Al-Muhtaj Fi Sharhil-Minhaj, that these Books numbered
one hundred and four (104). Fifty (50) of these were revealed to Prophet Shith (Seth), thirty
(30) to Prophet Idris (Enoch), ten (10) to Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), and ten (10), other
than the Torah, to Prophet Musa (Moses). The last four (4) revealed Holy Books were:
1. The Torah, revealed in the Hebrew language to Prophet Musa (Moses)
2. The Zabur, revealed in the Hebrew language to Prophet Dawud (David)
3. The Injil, revealed in the Syriac language to Prophet ^Isa (Jesus)
4. The Qur’an, revealed in the Arabic language to Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu
^alayhi wa sallam.
Of these books, the Qur’an is the only Holy Book which remains intact and
unchanged to this day. It is the lasting miracle revealed to Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu
^alayhi wa sallam, which Allah protected from being perverted.
The complaints of non-Arabic speaking Muslims at large emanate mainly from the
absence of reliable interpretations of the Qur’an in their own respective mother tongues.
Sadly, most of the available translations are unsatisfactory and dangerous, because the
methodologies used in producing these translations deviate from what is permissible under
the rules of the Religion.
Because the Qur’an was specifically revealed in the Arabic language does not mean it is
meant only for Arabic speaking people to read and understand. On the contrary, Islam, the
The meanings of Juz’ Tabarak/ al Mulk �������� ���� ���� ����� ����� �� ����� ����� The twenty ninth part of the Qur’an
4
religion of all the prophets, is pronounced the only true religion for all people3; therefore its
terms and teachings must also be attainable by non-Arabic speaking people. The religious
prohibition is in translating the verses of the Qur’an word for word and claiming these are
the expressions revealed by Allah to Prophet Muhammad , sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam.
What is permissible, however, is to explain the meanings of the verses of the Qur'an in other
languages.
Interpreting the meanings of the Qur'an require qualified scholars who have the
necessary scholastic tools. Many renowned scholars of interpretation have authored precious
books. Abu Hayyan Al-Andalusiyy, for example, authored Al-Bahr Al-Muhit, a text that
Muslim scholars hold as highly reputable and credible. Translating similar works constitutes
a proper methodology of spreading the meanings of the Glorious Qur'an into other
languages.
The overall layout of this book avoids word for word translation of an Ayah but rather
consists of giving a general interpretation of the meanings of each individual verse (ayah),
with a more detailed interpretation of each verse in the body of the book. Transliterated
words are constructed as per the following transliteration system that has been adopted for
this work:
3 Islam is the religion of all the prophets from Adam to Muhammad. The most honored prophets are
Muhammad, Ibrahim, Musa, ^Isa and Nuh.

Surah Al Mulk
It is also called المنجيةالواقية which means the protector the rescuer, because it protects and
rescues from the torture of the grave whoever makes it his habit to recite it.
Al Hakim reported the hadith and quoted it from the prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa
sallam: وأطنب قرأھا في ليلة فقد أكثر نم which means whomever recited it in a day and a night
has done a lot.
�D� �EF�� �GH��IF�� �J�F%�� �D �$�� I begin with the name of Allah, the Merciful to believers and nonbelievers in the present
life, the Merciful to believers in the Afterlife.
This verse (ayah) is called 'the basmalah.' According to Imam ash-Shafi^iyy, the
basmalah is one of the verses (ayahs) of the Fatihah without which the prayer is invalid.
Imam Malik and Imam Abu Hanifah do not consider the basmalah to be a verse (ayah) of
the Fatihah4. Every chapter (surah) of the Qur’an starts with the basmalah except one:
Surah Bara’ah5. Moreover, following the methodology of the Qur'an, it became the
habit of the salaf 6 and the khalaf
7 to start their written works with the basmalah.
It is recommended (Sunnah), and not obligatory (wajib), to start every religiously
important matter with the basmalah, excluding those matters that the rules of the Religion
prescribed their beginning with other than the basmalah. Examples of religiously
important matters which do not start with the basmalah are the prayer, which starts with
the takbir8, and the supplication, which starts with the hamdalah
9.
4 According to Abu Hanifah and whoever agreed with him, the basmalah is for seeking blessings by starting
with the name of Allah, and for being a barrier between the chapters of the Qur’an 5 This Qur’an chapter (surah) has another name: At-Tawbah. 6 The scholars of the first three hundred years after the immigration of the Prophet. 7 The scholars who came after the salaf.
8 Saying Allah akbar, ( K� L�� )
The meanings of Juz’ Tabarak/ al Mulk �������� ���� ���� ����� ����� �� ����� ����� The twenty ninth part of the Qur’an It could be said
8
One is forbidden to start prohibited matters with the basmalah. For example, it is sinful
for one to say ‘bismillah’ as one starts to drink alcohol, which is a prohibited matter.
Moreover, some Hanafiyy scholars said that if one starts drinking alcohol with saying
bismillah, one blasphemes. However, the correct judgment in this matter depends upon
the person’s intention in his saying. If one’s intention in saying the basmalah when
drinking alcohol were to seek blessings, one blasphemes. However, if one’s intention
were to seek protection from the harm of the alcohol one is drinking, one is sinful for
that, but does not blaspheme. On the other hand, starting any disliked (makruh) matter
with the basmalah is judged as makruh.10
The preposition (al-jarr) and its object (al-majrur) in the word bismi (D�$�) [ba’ ( () and
ism (D�C�) respectively] of the basmalah indicate either a verb such as abda’ (�M���) which
means ‘I start’ or a noun such as ibtida'i ( NM�O��PQ ) which means ‘my starting.’ So bismillah
(K� D�$�) means ‘I start with the name of Allah’ or ‘my starting is with the name of
Allah’11
.
The word Allah (K�) is the Name of the Creator whose non-existence is impossible to be
perceived in the mind. Allah is the One and only deserving of all praises. The name
Allah (K�) is not derived from another root word12
[Al Mulk 67:13] And whether you conceal your speech or announce it, Allah
certainly has complete knowledge, of the good and evil secrets of all hearts.
Allah addresses the people that whether they conceal or declare their speech Allah knows what is in their hearts among good and evil, hence, whatever they utter is known to Allah.
The Ayah reveals that both matters, whatever said openly or kept hidden, are equally
known to Allah.
Ibn Al-Jawziyy said that Ibn ^Abbas said: 'This Ayah was revealed about the
blasphemers who associated partners with Allah. They used to slander the Messenger of

Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, and Jibril would inform him about what they said, so
they would tell one another to keep their saying concealed so that Muhammad's God
would not hear.'

[Al Mulk 67:14] Should He not know, - that which He created? And He is the One
Who Endows Generosities upon His slaves and nothing escapes His Knowledge.
The Ayah presents an interrogative that negates that Allah does not hear, thereby
confirming that Allah the Exalted surrounds with His Knowledge the concealed and
announced matters and what the creations reveal or hide. How could it be otherwise,
knowing that Allah is the One who made things exist from a state of nonexistence, and
He is the One who is Generous to His slaves secretly when they do not anticipate, and He
is the One who knows the reality of all things and nothing is kept hidden from His
[Al Mulk 67:21] O blasphemers, who are there that, can give you sustenance if Allah
were to withhold His provision? No, the blasphemers persist in impiety and
departure from the Truth.
O blasphemers no one can give you sustenance if Allah withholds the reasons of
sustenance such as rain and vegetation. The blasphemers persist on their blasphemy and
denial, although the truth stands out crystal clear, and arrogantly reject and depart from
the truth.

[Al Mulk 67:22] Is then one who walks with his face lowered, better guided, - or one
who walks looking ahead on a Straight path?
Allah the Exalted sets in this Ayah an example for both the believers and the
blasphemers. Which of the two, the person who walks with his face lowered not looking ahead and right and left maintains a swift path free of pitfalls, or the one who walks
headforemost looking ahead and right and left? This is what the blasphemer does, he
indulges in blasphemy and sins in this world tripping over pitfalls one after another and
in the Hereafter he shall be assembled dragged on his face. Whereas the believer sees his
path clearly through adhering to the rules of the religion, thereby escaping the pitfalls,
and will be a winner in the Hereafter.

[Al Mulch 67:30] O Muhammad say to the blasphemers: "O people of Quraysh tell
me if your water be some morning lost in the underground earth, who then can
supply you with clear-flowing water except Allah? So how dare you deny that He
will resurrect you?"
Allah ordered Prophet Muhammad to say to those who associated partners with Allah: '
tell me o people of Quraysh, if you wake up to find your water has sunk into Earth and
you cannot reach it with your hands or lifting buckets, who else but Allah has the power
to make visible water run in a manner accessible to the hands? So how could you deny
that Allah has the Power to resurrect you?'
It was said that this Ayah was recited before an atheist so he said: ' the water can be
fetched using shovels and axes', he lost his vision and became blind the same evening.
We seek refuge with Allah from such daring remarks about Allah and His Ayas and we
ask Allah to preserve for us our state of belief and to successfully end our lives and to
admit us into Paradise along with the meritorious. Amin.

[Al-Qalam 68:1] I (Allah) make adjuration by the Nun and by the pen with which
the angels record the happenings that take place in this life and until the Day of
Judgment.
Ibn Kathir, Nafi^, Khalaf by the way of Warsh, Abu ^Amr, Hamzah, Hafs recited with
enunciating the Nun; that is with removing the Idgham of the Nun with the waw of the
adjuration. Ibn ^Amir, al Kisa’i, Shu^bah, Khalaf and Ya^qub recited with making
Idgham of the Nun with the waw of the adjuration.
Nun. Allah knows best what He means by it and apparently it refers to the letter in the
Arabic alphabet. Allah makes adjuration by the pen, due to the insurmountable benefits it
presents, and by what the angels write (therewith) among all what happens in this life and
until the Day of Judgment among death times, deeds, sustenance and other.

[Al-Qalam 68:2] O Muhammad, the grace of belief, prophet hood and other that
your Lord endowed upon you does not render you mad.
O Muhammad, you are not insane, as the blasphemers falsely claim, for receiving the
endowments of belief, prophet hood and other than that from your Lord. Ibn al-Mundhir
related from Ibn Jurayj that he said: the blasphemers used to say to the prophet, sallallahu
^alayhi wa sallam, that he is an insane devil. Hence the Ayah was revealed to establish
that you Muhammad are not insane for the grace of prophet hood and belief that Allah
bestowed upon you. The endowments of Allah upon him are apparent, the complete
articulation, complete mind, good reputation, clearance from non befitting attributes,
praiseworthy manners; and this definitely exposes the fabrication of the blasphemers in
their saying and refutes them. This ayah answers the saying of the blasphemers reported
in surah al Hijr ayah 15 about the prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, that he is insane.

O Muhammad you shall indeed have a great reward from Allah for your patience with the
harm of the blasphemers who associate partners with Allah; full rewards that shall never
stop. Hence do not let their fabricated saying hinder you from inviting the people to

[Al-Qalam 68:4] And most surely O Muhammad, you adhere to the sublime

Surely, O Muhammad, you have great manners and you adhere to them. Imam Muslim
narrated in his book as-Sahih from ^A’ishah may Allah accept her deeds and from her
father who said: "فإن خلق نبي هللا صلى هللا عليه وسلم القرءان" : Indeed you have and adhere to the

[Al-Qalam 68:8] So do not obey, in any of what they demanded of you, those who
deny the Truth revealed to you.
The prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, like all other prophets, is impeccable from
committing blasphemy before and after prophet hood. Hence the address is to teach us to
be steadfast to the true religion of Islam. So do not obey O Muhammad the heads of
Makkah who invited you to their religion and belied the revelation that descended upon

Tabariyy who said: it was mentioned it was about al-Akhnas , and others claimed it was
about al-Aswad but it was not about him, and others said it was about ^Abd ar-Rahman
Ibn al-Aswad which is farfetched, because he was young at the time and he had embraced
Islam and was mentioned to be among the companions”.

Ibn ^Abbas said this is in reference to the backbiter, and back biting is mentioning about
your Muslim brother, behind his back, that which is in him that he dislikes to be
mentioned. Abu Dawud narrated in his book as-Sunan about Anas Ibn Malik who said:
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam said: “ When I was made to ascend
to the sky I passed by people with brazen nails scratching their faces and chests, so I said,
who are they O Jibril? He said, those are the ones who consume the flesh of the people
and violate their honor”.

And he is one who spreads tales for the purpose of causing enmity between them. Tale
bearing is spreading the statements said to those concerned to cause enmity. The
Messenger of Allah sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam said: “The tale bearer does not enter
paradise along with the first batches”; narrated by al-Bukhari and reported by Abu

who stops his off springs and tribesmen from embracing Islam telling them whomever
embraces Islam I shall never benefit him in anything. According to most of the scholars
this is in reference to Al Walid Ibn Al Mughirah.

it was said one who is extreme in unjust altercation. And it was said one who is abhorrent

The meaning entails that over and above the degraded attributes that Allah attributed to
him he also falsely claims that his father was from the tribe of Quraysh. Also it was said
the meaning is that he is known for evil just as the goat is known by what hangs down

May Allah accept both of their deeds, who said in interpreting the saying of Allah عتل بعد﴿﴾ذلك زنيم : (Zanim: زنيم) A man from Quraysh who has a dangle like the dangle of a goat.
Also Al-Bukhari narrated in his book of as-Sahih about Harithah Ibn Wahb al-Khuza^I
who said I heard the messenger of Allah say:

Which means: Shall I tell you about the people of paradise! They are every weak and

I tell you about the people of Hell-Fire! They are every rough mannered and un-lovingly
cold who is arrogant to believe in the Hereafter and who harms and drives and coerces
people. In Jabir narrated about In ^Abbas who said, when [Al-Qualm 68:10] was

they will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of
finest silk and gold embroidery: reclining therein on raised couches. How Excellent the
recompense is! And how goodly the resting place is!
The messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said:
The Hadith means: The occupants of paradise eat and drink therein and do not spew out,
urinate, defecate, and propel nasal discharge; they said what happens to the food eaten, he
said: turns to an excretion and secretion similar to musk and they shall be brain-waved to
glorify and praise Allah as they are brain-waved to breathe.
Also he said:

youthful and never turn old, and you shall be in everlasting bliss and never be saddened,
as it is mentioned in the saying of Allah:

When the blasphemers said we shall be given in the Hereafter better than what you
believers will be given, Allah exposed their lying informing us that in the judgment of
Allah the believers who believed in their Lord and humbled themselves extremely in
worship are unequal to the blasphemers. The statement is a negative interrogative that

Thus the meaning establishes that how do you make such an invalid judgment! as if the

The interpreters have two interpretations for this Ayah: the first: The blasphemers wanted
to afflict the prophet with the evil eye and Allah protected him and revealed this Ayah.
The second: It was said that the blasphemers look at the prophet with enmity that they
tend to harm the prophet with their eyes. This Ayah contains a proof that the evil eye and
its harm are a true matter; the prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: "العين حق"
narrated by al-Bukhari: It means inflicting harm by the eye is something that is confirmed
to exist.

The Qur’an contains preachments for jinns and humans. From it they deduce what is
beneficial for them religiously and in the worldly matters. Hence the one who delivered it
to humans and jinns and invited to it and recited to them how is it acceptable to say about
him that he is insane; rather this testifies to the soundness of his mind and superiority of
his status. Hence the one who attributes default and shortcomings to the prophet only
reflects his own ignorance and disappointment; for the people of merit are recognized by
their likes. It was said:

[Al-Haqqah 69:1] The sure Day of Judgment!
Al-Haqqah means the Day of Judgment. It was called Haqqah حاقة from the word al-
Haqq ath-thabit الحق الثابت, that is the confirmed book. This means that the happening of
the Day of Judgment is confirmed beyond doubt.

[Al-Haqqah 69:2] What is the sure Day of Judgment!
Ma, is an article of interrogation posing the question “What is al-Haqqah?”. Knowing the
truth of the Day of Judgment is not what is intended. Rather what is intended is
magnifying its status and dire situation. Thereafter Allah expounded on its dire situations.
��F��� � � 3�8�4� � �[s]
[Al-Haqqah 69:3] O Muhammad, what would make you realize what the sure Day
of Judgment is when you have not yet encountered it!
Allah further reflected upon the dire situations of the Day of Judgment so He ﴿وما أدراك﴾
said, “O Muhammad what would make you know about its dire situations when the
greatness of its status is beyond the grips of the creations?”
This is an additional magnification of the status of the Day of Judgment and ﴿ما الحاقة﴾
an exaggeration in showing its dire situations; the meaning therein being the Day of
Judgment constitutes dire matters that have not been encompassed by any

This Qur’an is not the saying of a poet as you claim and it is not a form of poetry or its
composition. Allah negated that the Qur’an is the saying of a poet. The poet is the one
who composes rhymed words. What is meant by “of no duration,” is their lack of belief
in the first place. In the sense that they do not believe in the Qur’an--the book revealed
from Allah tabaraka wa ta^ala. Ibn Kathir and Ibn ^Amir from the route of Khalaf from
the route of Ibn Dhakwan and Ya^qub recited “yu’minun wa yadhdhakarun” with a “ya’”
instead of a “ta’” while doubling the “dhal.” So they recited “yu’minun” and

The Qur’an is not the saying of a soothsayer as you claim because Muhammad sallallahu

and convey to him what they overhear of the news of the angels who inhabit the skies,
and so the soothsayer would tell the people what he heard from them. The methodology
of the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam is contradictory to the methodology of the
soothsayer in the sense that what he utters comprises dispraising the devils and degrading
them. So how could it be that his utterance is a result of what the devils convey to him?
They did not convey to him what comprises their own dispraise and cussing and
degrading. And especially on one who discredits them and deprives them of goodness.

the deeds that are related to the beginning of the creation and their returning on the Day

The Qur’an shall be a source of remorse for the blasphemers on the Day of Judgment in
the sense that they shall regret leaving out the believing in it due to the rewards that will

[Al-Haqqah 69:51] But verily the Qur’an is Truth of assured certainty revealed by
Allah.
The Qur’an is certainly truly without any doubt that it is from Allah tabaraka wa ta^ala,
and not authored by Muhammad or Jibril, peace be upon them. And the Qur’an contains
truth, guidance and illumination.

[Al-Haqqah 69:52] Therefore-glorify the name of your Lord, the Great and clear
Him of all non-befitting attributes.
So clear Allah from shortcomings and evil and all non-befitting attributes, and thank Him
for making you suitable to receive His revelation. This ayah contains the proof that the
believer is ordered to clear his creator from the attributes of the creations, such as
ignorance, powerlessness, place, bodily attributes, and volume. Imam Ja^far at-
Tahawiyy, who was one of the Salaf, said, Allah the Exalted is clear from boundaries and
limits and sides and organs and instruments. The six directions do not contain Him,
unlike the rest of the creations. This is the end of the statement of at-Tahawiyy.
Hence Allah the Exalted does not have a volume whether a big volume or a small
volume, because all of that is among the attributes of the creations, and Allah the Exalted
is clear from that.

[Al-Ma^arij 70:1] An asker asked for the chastisement to befall the blasphemers;
One of the blasphemers who is Annadr Ibn Al Harith said: “If this is the truth revealed
unto you then let the sky shower stones upon us or let a torture befall us”, as mentioned
in Surah Al Anfal,32. Or it could be the prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam,
supplicated to Allah for the torture may befall the blasphemers.
Abu Ja^far, Nafi^ and Ibn ^Amir, they recited “sa’ala” without a “hamzah”.
Rl�q�4 �J� ���� GS��q�b�%V�[i]
[Al-Ma^arij 70:2] Inevitably upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,
The torture was asked to befall the blasphemers. And it was said that the meaning of the
ayah is that a suppliant made a supplication and requested a torture to befall the
blasphemers. An-Nasa’iyy and others reported about Ibn ^Abbas, may Allah accept his
deeds, that “sa’ala sa’ilun” is in reference to an-Nadir ibn Al-Harith, that he said, Oh
Allah if that was the truth revealed from you, let the sky rain stones. So the ayah was
revealed and an-Nadir was killed during the Battle of Badr.
Inevitably the torture shall befall them whether they asked for it or not; either in this
world through killing, or in the hereafter because in the hereafter the torture shall befall
them with no one to avert it from them. And Ibn Al Mundhir reported about al-Hasan
who said, the ayah was revealed so the people would ask upon whom the requested
torture shall befall, and Allah revealed upon the blasphemers with no one to avert it from
them.

They shall come, lowering their gazes without looking up because of the torture of Allah

they disbelieved will come, on which they were promised the torture.

[Nuh 71:28] "O my Lord! Forgive me, my believing parents, all who enter my
mosque in Faith, and all believing men and believing women: and do not increase
the unjust blasphemers but destruction!
O Allah forgive me and my parents, both of them were believers, his father’s name was
Lamak and his mother’s name was Shamkha’. And forgive those who have entered my
mosque as a believer, and forgive the male and the female believers. It was said forgive
those who have entered my house, and it was said those who have embarked his ark.
And O Allah only increase the blasphemers with destruction and Allah answered his
supplication and destroyed them.
Ibn ^Abbas said:” Nuh made two supplications, one against the blasphemers and one for
the believers. His supplication against the blasphemers was answered; hence it is
impossible that his supplication for the believers would not be answered.

Surah Al-Muddaththir
حم ه الر حيم بسم اللـ ن الر ـ
It was reported by Jaber about the prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, who said: “ I
was on mount Hira’ when I heard Jibril calling O Muhammad you are the messenger of
Allah. I looked right and left and could not see anyone so I looked up and there Jibril was
sitting on a throne between heaven and earth. So I naturally got frightened and went back
to Khadijah and told her wrap me, wrap me with clothes. Then Jibril came and recited
surah al Muddaththir”. This was related by Bukhariyy and Muslim.

Do purify your garments from the najas-filth which is required for the validity of the
prayer! And outside the prayers it is a better practice as opposed to leaving your garment
impure. Or the meaning could be shortening your dress so you would be different from
the Arabs who lengthen their dresses to the point of dragging tails of garments behind
them. Or the meaning could be clean yourself from the filthy doings since the one who is
pure from within it would be reflected on his appearance.

Leave to Me the dealing with al Walid ibn al Mughirah; whom Allah created lonely
with no money and children and then provided for him whatever He provided; also
It could mean Allah alone will punish him the due punishment for his doings, or Allah
alone is the one who created him and has power to punish him the due punishment. Al
Walid ibn al Mughirah used to be called the lonely among his people. Ibn al Mughirah
was specified in this verse due to ingratitude and harming the prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi
wa sallam. Ibn al Jawziyy stated that the verse means Leave to me destroying al Walid
ibn al Mughirah, some said the verse was abrogated by the verse permitting fighting and
this is not so due to two matters: 1) Since the promise of threat by Allah is confirmed in
the verse then there is no room for abrogation. 2) This Surah was revealed in Makkah and
the verse permitting fighting was revealed in Madinah and al Walid ibn al Mughirah died
in al Madinah prior to the revelation of the verse allowing fighting.

give you. Ibn al Mughirah said they know I am wealthy. Abu Jahl told him to make
statement disparaging the Qur’an. Al Walid said how I can and I am the most articulate
poet and I find the Qur’an flawless and immaculate and unchallenged. Abu Jahl said your
people will not appreciate such a statement. Al Walid said then let me think and he came
up with that it is an act of sorcery. Al Hafidh asSuyuti said it is Sahih-authentic as per the
