Surah Lail(92)

Page 2: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

IntroductionMain Ideas:

Highlights the difference between two ways of life : the right path and the wrong path

People that lead their lives in two different ways can not possibly have the same resultEx. A good student and a bad student don’t

deserve the same grades

Page 3: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

IntroductionThe Surah has two parts to it:

Part One: Ayahs 1 – 11 Part Two: Ayahs 12 -21

Page 4: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Introduction: Part OneDifferent people strive (work towards

different things)To generalize, there are two key

categories of people Allah describes 3 characteristics of

each kind of person

Page 5: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Introduction: Part OneThe first kind of person:

1. Spends their wealth2. Is conscious of Allah and doing good 3. Who acknowledges the good as good

(knows or understands what is good)

For these kinds of people, Allah will make doing good easy for them and evil difficult

Page 6: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Introduction: Part OneThe second kind of person:

1. Miserly – does not want to spend their wealth

2. Doesn’t care about God 3. Denies what’s good or right

Allah will make easy for this kind of person doing evil and hard to do good

Page 7: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Introduction: Part OneAllah states that these two kinds of

people can never be equal If you are unequal in your work, how

can you expect to be equal in your result?

Page 8: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Introduction: Part TwoIn part two, Allah states 3 truths:

1. Allah did not leave people uninformed. He explained what is the right way and what is the wrong way in this life. (He sent the Messengers and the Quran)

2. Allah is the Master of this world and the next. He will give you whatever you seek. It is up to you to decide what you want.

Page 9: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Introduction: Part TwoIn part two, Allah states 3 truths

(cont.): 3. Those who reject the good and right

path will have to deal with the consequences and the consequence is going to be the Fire. Those who do good will be blessed by Allah.

Page 10: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Questions (Introduction)1. How many broad categories of people are

there? 2. What 3 characteristics does Allah use to

describe the first kind of person? 3. What 3 characteristics does Allah use to

describe the second kind of person? 4. What will Allah make easy for the first kind of

person?5. What will Allah make easy for the second kind

of person?6. What are the three truths that Allah discusses

in the second part of the Surah?

Page 11: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Ayah One: By the night when it enshrouds,

Notice how Allah swears by opposites: day and night

The same way night and day are opposites, good people and bad people are opposites

يغشى Gذا إ Gيل ﴾﴿والل

تجلى Gذا إ Gهار ﴾﴿والنAyah Two: and by the day when it breaks

in its glory,

Page 12: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Ayah Three: and by Him Who created the male and the female:

Notice that Allah again swears by opposites: male and female, boys and girls

The same idea is here: the same way that boys and girls are opposites, so are good people and bad people

The reason why Allah swears by opposites is because he wants to show that the two types of people are opposites and the results they will get are also opposites

Wنثى واأل الذكر خلق ﴾﴿وما

Page 13: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Ayah Four: surely your strivings are divergent.

This is Allah saying that the same way the night and day are opposires and the male and female are opposites, what people strive (work) after are opposites

Everyone struggles for a different causeSome people want to work hard only for

this worldOthers focus for the world in the Hereafter

لشتى Wم سعيك Gن ﴾﴿إ

Page 14: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Ayah Five: As for him who gave out his wealth (for Allah’s sake ) and abstained (from disobeying Him),Allah is describing the characteristics of

the first kind of person: Someone who doesn't’t worship their wealth

and spends whatever Allah gave them for good works and helping others

These people also worship Allah and don’t disobey Him

قى وات أعطى من ﴾﴿فأما

Page 15: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Ayah Six: and affirmed the Truth of goodness:

Another charactristic of the first kind of person is that they believe in the Truth and in goodness.

They have morals and they believe in Allah and Islam

GالحWسنى ب ﴾﴿وصدق

Page 16: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Ayah Seven: We shall facilitate for him the Way to Bliss.

Because of the struggles and good works of the first kind of people, Allah will make doing good deeds easy for them

Also, he will make doing bad deeds harder for them

Wسرى Gلي ل Wه Wر Wيس ﴾﴿فسن

Page 17: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Ayah Eight: As for him who was a miser and behaved with aversion (to Allah),

Here there is a contrast and Allah starts describing the second kind of person

The first characteristic is that the person is stingy – does not want to spend their money or doesn’t want to spend it for Allah’s cause

They also don’t care about Allah or His commands

They don’t care if they disrespect Allah or disobey his commands

واستغنى بخGل من ﴾﴿وأما

Page 18: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Ayah Nine: and denied the Truth of goodness:

The third quality of the person is that they deny the Truth and refrain from doing what is good

They deny what is good and what is right

GالحWسنى ب ﴾﴿وكذب

Page 19: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Ayah Ten: We shall facilitate for him the way to Hardship,

This means that Allah will make doing evil deeds easier for those people who want to do evil

Note that this does not mean that Allah will force anyone to do good or bad, it is ultimately the persons choice

Allah will just help them attain what they choose

GلعWسرى ل Wه Wر Wيس ﴾﴿فسن

Page 20: 92 Surah Lail Tafseer Midi

Ayah Eleven: and his wealth shall be of no avail to him when he perishes.

This person’s wealth will not be able to them

Because when you die, you can’t take any of your wealth with you

You can only take your deeds with you

تردى Gذا إ WهW مال Wعنه Gي Wغن ي ﴾﴿وما
