Al Qasass 394

Updated: Apr 16

Allah says

قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ اللَّيْلَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِضِيَاءٍ ۖ أَفَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ ﴿71﴾

Say, “Have you seen if God makes the night eternal over you until the Day of Resurrection, Who is there any god other than Allah who brings you light, Will you not listen (71)

Say, O Muhammad, to those who polytheize God: O people, have you seen that God has placed night upon you, there is always no day until the Day of Resurrection that follows it, the Arabs say that everything that is continuous and uninterrupted, whether prosperity, calamity, or blessing, is eternal.

Allah says

قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ النَّهَارَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهِ ۖ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿72﴾

Say, “Have you seen if God makes the day eternal over you until the Day of Resurrection, Who is the god other than God who can bring you a night in which you can rest, do you not see? (72)

God Almighty says in his mention of his Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace: (Say) O Muhammad to the polytheists of your people (Have you seen) O people (if God makes the day eternal for you) there will always be no night with him (until the Day of Resurrection, there is no god but Allah) who is worshiped other than the worshiped one to whom everything is worshiped? (He will bring you a night in which you will rest) then you will be settled and calm therein (Do you not see?) He says: Do you not see with your eyes the difference between night and day upon you? A mercy from God to you, and a proof from Him against you, so learn from this that worship is only appropriate for the one who bestowed this upon you and not anyone else, and whoever has the ability to disagree with that.

Allah says

وَمِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿73﴾

And out of His mercy He made for you night and day that you may dwell in it,   And that you may seek of His bounty, and that you may be grateful. (73)

A view of the verse

This is the wisdom of God Almighty in His creation, that the day should be for striving and movement, and the night should be for stillness, sleep, and rest, these rulings apply not only to humans but also to marine animals, as they affect the health of the oceans and the health of humans as well, they have proven that night lighting around beaches harms marine organisms to great depths in the oceans, seas and rivers, what also harms humans is exposure to night lighting or greater exposure to artificial lighting, and so God - the Almighty - 1441 years ago and more told us that He wants us to be (the morning person) - Of course, so to speak - and he told us through this verse, that this is from the mercy of God - the Almighty - for humanity, If we want the opposite and sleep during the day and live the night with movement and activity, we will miss this blessing, as if we are saying to God - the Almighty - that we do not care about your mercy for humanity. Of course, God is Most High and Most Knowing.

Perhaps you will be grateful

There are types of gratitude that we are not about to talk about but what we know is that the best type of gratitude is practical gratitude and using grace in its proper place, your physical health is a blessing that must be preserved. You can research for yourself the benefits that you can gain from sleeping early, and to be a morning person, start your day at 5:30 or a little more.

Allah says

 وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ ﴿74﴾

And the Day He calls them and says, “Where are my partners whom you used to claim?” (74)

And the day your Lord, O Muhammad, calls these polytheists and says to them: (Where are my partners whom you used to claim?) O people in this world, they are my partners.

Allah says

وَنَزَعْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ فَعَلِمُوا أَنَّ الْحَقَّ لِلَّهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ ﴿75﴾

And We removed from every nation a witness, and We said, bring your proof, then they will know that the truth belongs to Allah, and what they used to invent has gone away from them. (75)


On the authority of Qatada, his saying: (And We have removed from every nation a witness)

Its martyr: its Prophet, bearing witness to it that he conveyed the message of his Lord

(So We said, “Bring your proof.”)

He said: Your proof is what you used to worship.

And his saying: (Then they knew that the truth belongs to Allah.)

He says: Then they knew that God’s decisive proof was upon them, and the truth belongs to God, and honesty is His experience, so they were certain of a permanent punishment from God for them, (And what they used to invent has gone astray from them.) He says: And it vanished, and those who used to associate God with Him in this world went away, They were not lying to me and lying to me about them, It did not benefit them there, but rather harmed them and caused them to burn into Hell.

A view of the verse

Did you see the expression (and we removed) and the removal is not honorable and presenting to appear on the platform to hear the testimony, this is power, so God Almighty says to them, “Bring your proof that there are other gods with God, the Qur’an was silent about their words and spoke about (so they knew that it was the truth) and what they were inventing went astray, slander is the most severe type of lying, or it is someone who slanders: Injustice through brutality. Perhaps they forced people into earthly religions - may God protect us - the Almighty -

إِنَّ قَارُونَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ فَبَغَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ وَآتَيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْكُنُوزِ مَا إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُ لَتَنُوءُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ أُولِي الْقُوَّةِ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ لَا تَفْرَحْ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَرِحِينَ ﴿76﴾

Indeed, Qarun was one of the people of Moses, so he transgressed against them, and We gave him such treasures that their keys would burden a group of people of power, when his people said to him, “Do not rejoice. Indeed, God does not like those who rejoice.” (76)

Qarun was the cousin of Moses, peace be upon him

He is Qarun bin Izhar bin Qahith bin Lawi bin Yaqoub (he was from the people of Moses). He says: He was from the clan of Musa bin Imran, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, He is a cousin of his father and mother, and that is because Qarun is Qarun bin Izhar bin Qahith, and Musa: He is Musa bin Imran bin Qahith, and this is how Ibn Jurayj attributed him.

On the authority of Ibn Jurayj, his saying: (Indeed, Qarun was from the people of Moses)

He said: His cousin, his father’s nephew. Qarun bin Yasfar, This is what Al-Qasim said, but he is Izhar bin Qahith, and Musa bin Omar bin Qahith, and Omar in Arabic means Imran.

He was called the Enlightener

Whoever has a good voice in the Torah, but the enemy of God is a hypocrite, just as the Samaritan hypocritically did, and he is destroyed by transgression.

(So he transgressed against them)

 He says: He exceeded his limit in arrogance towards them.

Some of them were saying

He was unfair to them: he took an extra inch in the length of his clothes.

On the authority of Qatada

He only transgressed against them with his abundance of money

The keys to Qarun's treasures were made of skins. Each key was like a finger. Each key was on a separate locker. When mounted, the keys were carried on sixty gray-haired mules.

About Mujahid

The keys were made of camel skins

On the authority of Ibn Abbas

(let her bear the burden) It weighs heavy. As for the gang, it is a group of forty men.

A view of the verse
Why does God Almighty tell us about an extremely wealthy person during the era of Moses?

And God knows best, to teach us that Moses - peace be upon him - did not only face Pharaoh, but also faced Egyptian wealth at that time in history, It was not mentioned about Qarun that he was one of the ruling elite in Egypt at that time, only his wealth and his love for appearing among the Egyptians and his Lord of the Children of Israel (the oppressed slaves) were mentioned with his adornment.

Qarun was one of the people of Moses

He was a minister for the affairs of the Hebrews to Pharaoh, so he was originally from the people of Moses (the children of Israel who were weak to Pharaoh), but he built himself up and became a huge fortune.

So he wronged them Transgression

rebellion against states, arrogance - transgression and injustice - breaking the law

And We gave him treasures

So it is not one treasure but treasures

The keys to these treasures will burden the powerful group

It is said that ten strong men carried the keys to his treasury. Today the keys may be very light for great treasures, but they are givens of the times, even if God - the Almighty - did not mention this partial detail in the verse, we would say that history is not documented in a documented way, so glory be to God who does not overlook anything that would distort the meaning.


When his people said to him, “Do not be happy. God does not like those who are happy.”

This is really strange. God does not like us to be happy. He does not like us to be happy?! The truth is that joy is mentioned in the Qur’an only a little, but there is a verse that says (And on that day the believers will rejoice in the victory of God. He will help whom He wills.) Surat Al-Rum, and this means that joy is not forbidden in Islam, and the common people say: If happiness is a moment, then contentment is life, We understand from all of this that Qarun’s method of joy is overwhelming joy that makes the benefactor (God Almighty) forget Him, It makes you forget yourself and makes you use what God has bestowed upon you in injustice, transgression, and deviance from the law and customs. As for joy in God’s grace, which He bestowed upon you without imagination or love for appearance, do it in a way that hurts the feelings of those around you, so there is nothing wrong with it, as it is said: do not show your money in front of a poor person, and do not show your children in front of a childless person, do not harm your destitute neighbor with the smell of your food, for it is morality before it is a jurisprudential rule, and God is Most High and Most Knowing.

وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ ۖ وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَأَحْسِنْ كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿77﴾

And seek, through what God has given you, the home of the Hereafter, and do not forget your share of the world, and do good as God has done good to you, and do not seek corruption on earth. Indeed, Allah does not like the mischief-makers. (77)


And do not abandon your share and share in this world, in order to take your share in the afterlife, and do what will save you tomorrow from God’s punishment.

Al-Hassan said

  Whatever God has made lawful for you, for you are abundant and sufficient in it

A view of the verse
And seek what God has given you (the Hereafter)

That is, these many blessings are not just for the world, they are not for your self-sufficiency, they are not for appearance in front of people, they are only for doing good deeds for your country, for the people of your country, for your family, your loved ones, the needy, and other things. You are aware that there are hidden livelihoods within the declared livelihoods, for the poor, the destitute, and those unable to work, so God gives you, gives you, and increases you for their sake, not for your sake. Why? Because life is a set of tests, it increases your health, strength, knowledge, and ability, have to work and deprive another of all or some of this for one reason or another - so that hatred, resentment, grudges and envy do not arise in the society in which you live, It keeps society pure from within. Wealth is distributed with dignity and not left between a group of rich and poor who just look on.

And do good as God has done good to you

It is said that so-and-so is one of the benefactors, and unfortunately it does not mean mastery in his work or completion. Rather, he gives a lot of his money to the needy. God Almighty says to Qarun: (Be good as God has been good to you) God has been good to him in giving him, possessing him, and providing him with what He did not give to other people, and he was supposed to do good and be characterized by the attributes of God, But he did not, and in a little while we will learn about the fate of this type of human being.

And do not seek corruption on earth

Do not tell me what is forbidden, and sins are between you and God - the Almighty - for these are sins - sins - disobedience and not corruption. Corruption: it is what spoils the lives of those around you, and the types of corruption on earth are countless today, We do not know specifically what kind of corruption the Lord - the Almighty - means in the verse before us. Is bribery corruption in ancient Egyptian society? Is the love of showing off this huge wealth corrupt among the slaves (the children of Israel), and he is basically one of them? Did you? We do not know, but he uttered the words of God (corruption).

God does not love the vandals

Do you like corruption? Of course not, there is not a single sane person who likes corruption, because if corruption becomes widespread, it becomes widespread, and if it becomes widespread, it spreads and people’s condition worsens. God Almighty decided the issue from the beginning, not against the likes of Qarun in all societies, not just in Egyptian society, Every society has a group of corrupt people, who buy a bargain that is profitable for him and corrupt for the citizen in his country, such as adulterated food, for example but not limited to, and God does not like those who spoil the lives of others, and therefore Qarun’s consequence was a painful consequence, mocked by those who mocked, Those who laugh at it laugh and those who do not believe in the Qur’an do not believe in it, but it is something that has been frequently reported in knowledge, at least in the Holy Qur’an.

And God knows best - the story of Qarun did not come - for

1 - He was oppressive to his people, and this is a bad example of humanity. Rather, he came to teach us the truth about the distribution of wealth, and to find out where these wealth came from? Where do you go, for evening parties, travel, etc.? From personal whims or to help the people around you and help all of humanity with this huge wealth... and God is Most High and All-Knowing.

- Everything that exists in our lives exists due to wisdom, people - places - certain documents of history that we live by...etc. even animals, we learn from their morals, If you studied this, you would know that our morals as humans are inspired by the behavior of animals, except that we are rational and some of them are also rational, so we are only distinguished by will, so the existence of a character like Qarun is a type that all people must exist, you look at him with open eyes, longing for what he has, then they see his outcome with this severity, so he is considered the one who considers, and the one who believes in God believes, and everyone knows, God does not like this type of human morality, and its consequences to Him are not easy. Of course, God is Most High and Most Knowing.
