Surah Al-Baqara: page 3

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَأَنذَرۡتَهُمۡ أَمۡ لَمۡ تُنذِرۡهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ (6)

Indeed, those who disbelieve are equal to them you warn them, or did you warn them, they would not believe (6)


On the authority of Ibn Abbas: “For the righteous.”

That is, those who warn of God Almighty’s punishment for abandoning what they know of guidance, and they hope for His mercy by believing in what He brought. Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and their eyes are deceived, and for them is a grievous chastisement (7)

“God has sealed their hearts and their hearing.”

That is: it was imprinted on it with a character that faith does not enter into, nor is it implemented in it, so they do not know what benefits them, and they do not hear what benefits them. And over their eyes is a covering

A look at the verse

You are well aware that stamping is the last stage in issuing official papers, so if it is put there is no way to change it, otherwise it becomes forgery in official papers, and therefore: the seal on the heart and hearing will not enter information again to this person except after repentance and regret, and God knows best.

As for why the heart and hearing specifically?

the heart

They found that the heart has a small brain, that is, it contains neurons, and these neurons are responsible for reasoning, and therefore: the part of the human being that God, Blessed and Exalted be He, deals with is the heart, and not the brain, as the Messenger of God said - (God does not look at your pictures, nor at your money, but he looks at your hearts and your deeds.” Narrated by Muslim in “Al-Sahih" this means that God Almighty looks at the matter of the intention in the matter of the heart and in the matter of the external form looks at the deeds, you and I are nothing at all, as if we were nothing. We used to say that the heart is the source of feelings, Is it conceivable that the heart also has a mind? that is what you see that the raging feelings, whether of love or hate, reach the stage of belief, as if it is a belief, and therefore belief in something is replaced by the heart, and God is Most High and Knowing.

And read this scientific speech

Pain: Is it all in the brain or the heart?

Recent discoveries: Dr. Armor, in 1991, suggested that the heart has its own "little brain" or "internal cardiac nervous system". The “heart brain” is made up of about 40,000 similar neurons in the brain, which means the heart has its own nervous system. In addition, the heart communicates with the brain in a variety of ways: neural, biochemical, biophysical, and energetic. The vagus nerve, 80% afferent, transmits information from the heart and other internal organs to the brain, signals from the "heart brain" redirect to the medulla, hypothalamus, thalamus, amygdala and cerebral cortex. Thus, the heart sends more signals to the brain than vice versa. Research has demonstrated that pain perception is modulated by neural pathways and methods targeting the heart such as vagus nerve stimulation and arrhythmia feedback techniques, the heart is not just a pump. It has its own neural network or "little brain". Techniques targeting the heart modulate pain regions in the brain. These approaches seem to modulate key changes that occur in brain regions involved in the cognitive and emotional drivers of pain. Thus, the heart is probably the main mediator of pain.


hearing

We agreed that the seal is the last stage in obtaining official papers, and we also agree that the circle of hearing is wider than the circle of sight, perhaps there were those who were blind in sight but not in insight, so they relied on hearing, and most of our acquaintances are heard and not read or watched except for those who have the ability to watch for one reason or another, that is why God Almighty singled out the disbelievers - may God help us - by sealing their ears so that they do not hear a certain type of speech, which is speaking about God Almighty, and this is not a disease, but rather a veil that God, the Most High, veils May Allah forgive us and you - he Almighty -

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ (8)

And among the people is he who says we believe in God and the Last Day, and they are not believers (8)

Know that hypocrisy is

Showing good and concealing evil


And included in this definition, belief hypocrisy, and practical hypocrisy.


Practical hypocrisy is shown by the Messenger in this hadith

Like what the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, mentioned when he said, “The sign of a hypocrite is three: if he speaks he lies, if he makes a promise he breaks it, and if he is trusted he betrays him.” And in the narration, “And if he fierce quarrels .”


يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَمَا يَخۡدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ (9)

They deceive God and those who believe and they only deceive themselves, and they do not perceive (9)


The disingenuous

That the deceiver reveals something to the one who is being deceived, and conceals his contradiction so that he can achieve what he is deceiving.


So these hypocrites took this path with God and His servants, so their deception returned to themselves, and this is one of the wonders, because the deceiver either produces his deception and achieves his goal, or surrenders, neither to him nor against him, and these deceived themselves again.

Arabs do not refrain from being named

He who gives with his tongue other than the one in his conscience for a protect himself, to escape from what he feared, so he escaped from what he feared, deceiving him who got rid of him by what he showed him of piety


A look at the verse

The deception


The deception refers to the act — big or small, cruel or kind — of encouraging people to believe incorrect information. Lying is a common form of deception - stating something that is known to be untrue with the intent to deceive


 The trust is the bedrock of social life at all levels, from romance to parenting to national government. Deception always undermines it, because truth is so essential to the human project, which rests on a shared vision of reality, the default assumption of most people is that others are honest in their communications and dealings, most cultures have strong social penalties against lying.

Why do people engage in deception

According to one expert, lies are like wishes — the things people wish are often said to be true. A large body of research identifies three main reasons people lie: getting something they want, the so-called mechanical causes; to protect or promote themselves; and harming others. Punishment avoidance may be the main motivator for both children and adults, while everyone lies a little, only a small percentage of people seem to do most of the lying. There is evidence that prolific liars share a Machiavellian personality trait: they manipulate and take advantage of others; The trait is closely associated with psychopathy.


How do I lie to myself?

Deception is not always an outward act. There are also lies that people tell themselves, for reasons ranging from preserving self-esteem to dangerous delusions beyond their control. While lying to oneself is generally seen as harmful, some experts argue that certain types of self-deception — such as believing one can achieve a difficult goal even if there is evidence to the contrary — can have a positive effect on general well-being.


And the witness

We have seen that deception is a kind of psychological disorder due to a lack of self-respect, or to bring interest or ward off harm, and that some people tend to deceive in order to know how to live among people, and God - the Almighty - does not like the believer in him to have manifestations of mental illness, and to appear with the appearance of sincerity, which, when mentioned, you will find that it is psychologically very healthy for your image in front of yourself and in front of people, and God is Most High and Knowing.


فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ فَزَادَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مَرَضٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡذِبُونَ (10)

In their hearts is a disease, so God increased their disease, and for them is a painful chastisement because they used to lie (10)

The disease here


Disease of suspicion and hypocrisy


A look at the verse
The pathological lying is a mental disorder

A pathological liar is someone who lies compulsively. It is a chronic behavior that can be diagnosed as a mental condition. The person who struggles with this doesn't just lie now and then. Unlike antisocial or prosocial lies, these lies don't actually seem to have any benefit to the scammer. They usually lie for seemingly no reason at all. Their Lies is usually a great tale that draws them as the main character - either the victim or the hero. The intensity of the lies and the detail they can paint can make it seem as if they believe the lies themselves. A person who struggles with being a pathological liar may find themselves lonely and isolated. It can be hard to keep a sick liar in your life because they can be so hard to be around.

The witness

Have you noticed with me that God - the Most High - described the hypocrites as (deceitful and lying), which is a kind of mental illness, and also a kind of communication with those around them, It is not possible for a hypocrite to hypocrite himself, but there must be people with more superiority than him, who wants to promote it by lying, not by working, so he resorts to deception, and the noble verse indicates that this is a kind of disease, some of which are superimposed, above some (deception and lying) perhaps, and why do they have a painful punishment, and God knows best: my sister purifies the community of faith from societal lies and deceit, so that a person will be safe for himself and others will be safe for themselves


وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَا تُفۡسِدُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ مُصۡلِحُونَ (1)

And when it was said to them, "Do not make mischief in the land, they said, "We are only reformers (11)


That is: if these hypocrites forbade corruption on earth, which is the act of disbelief and disobedience, and it includes revealing the secrets of the believers to their enemy and their allegiance to the unbelievers, so they combined working with corruption in the land, and showing that it is not corruption, but rather reform, reversing the facts, and combining between doing falsehood and believing it to be true.


A look at the verse
some types of corruption

The political corruption


Abuse of public power (see also: Corruption in local governments) by ruling elites for illegitimate purposes such as bribery, extortion, nepotism, and embezzlement.


The corporate crime


In criminology, corporate crimes or economic crimes are deviations (financial or administrative) committed through a company (a commercial entity with an independent legal personality).


The bribe


Data corruption or information corruption


The environmental spoilage

And the degradation that occurs to the environment due to the depletion of resources such as air, water and soil, the destruction of ecosystems, the destruction of habitats, pollution and the extinction of wildlife. It is defined as any change or disturbance of the environment, natural or man-made, that is perceived to be harmful or undesirable.


Animal experiments

), is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control for variables that affect the behavior or biological system being studied. This approach can be contrasted with field studies in which animals are observed in their natural environments or habitats.


And the witness

Venerable scholars have explained to us: Corruption on earth is a sin against God, so is sin against your fellow man, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, not considered corruption? and the other question: Is environmental corruption, political corruption, or other types of corruption not the corruption that God intends in the noble verse? And the last question: Why did God - the Almighty - choose the term corruption and not disobedience when He spoke about the earth? and the answer is: all these types of corruption and others disrupt the system that God - the Most High - wanted, Humankind has a tight social system in which deception or lies are not satisfied. Will all these evils (types of corruption) be allowed in this society? The current reality has been proven in the year 2023 AD that the dome of biodiversity, animal experiments and other types of corruption have spoiled global warming? and it corrupted the ecosystem and brought out pandemics after pandemics. Is this not called corruption in the land? Or is the political corruption that destroys the lives of entire peoples not corruption on earth? God is higher and more knowledgeable.


أَلَآ إِنَّهُمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدُونَ وَلَٰكِن لَّا يَشۡعُرُونَ (12)

Unquestionably, they are the corrupters, but they not perceive (12)


Rather, the work on earth was corruption

Because it is a cause of corruption of the grains, fruits, trees, and plants on the face of the earth, because of the pests that are caused by sin, and because reform is in the land

To live in obedience to God and faith in Him, for this God created the creation, and made them dwell in the earth, and provided them with livelihood, so that they could use it to obey Him and worship Him.

The witness

Animal Experiments: Does he feel that the animal on whom the experiments are carried out using chemicals that peel their skin while they are alive is that they are a created spirit and that this is corruption on earth, or not?


Habitat loss and lack of biodiversity: Do you imagine that cutting down trees and emptying the natural habitats of animals that lead to imbalance in the ecosystem is corruption in the land, or do they not feel?


God Almighty knows what He wants from His servants, but logic in our lives calls us to the fact that corruption on earth is a sin, but it is not a sin between a servant and his Lord, Rather, it transcends to spoil the lives of people or even other beings that live with us, and God is Most High and Knowing.


وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ ءَامِنُواْ كَمَآ ءَامَنَ ٱلنَّاسُ قَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ كَمَآ ءَامَنَ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُۗ أَلَآ إِنَّهُمۡ هُمُ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ وَلَٰكِن لَّا يَعۡلَمُونَ (13)

And when it is said to them, “Believe as the people have believed, they said, "Shall we believe as the foolish have believed, Indeed, they are the fools, but they do not know (13)

The fools

Ignorant, weak-minded, little knowledge of the benefits and harms.


Foolishness of a person: Foolishness, ignorance, recklessness, foolishness, lack of reason


The lesson is in descriptions and proof, not in abstract claims and empty sayings


God - the Almighty - called women and children fools

And the Almighty said: And do not give your wealth to the foolish, which God has made for you a means of protection [Surat Al-Nisa: 5], and most of the people of interpretation said: They are women and boys, because of their weak opinions, and their lack of knowledge of the places of interest and harm to which the money is spent.


A look at the noble verse

As we have seen above, that God - the Most High - in the verse of Surat An-Nisa describes boys and women as fools, and what this means in relation to the verse in our hands, It is as if the one who commits corruption when he sees the opposite is fit, like boys and women, of light mind, of course not sane women, for the majority from women lightness of mind, except for those of whom God has mercy - the Almighty - and perfect them with reason and sobriety, and of course this is from God's point of view - Why? Because he does not take into account the consequences of what he does of corruption for his personal interest, and it is not in his calculations of the interests of the people or the land on which he lives, and God Almighty is Most High and Knows.


وَإِذَا لَقُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ شَيَٰطِينِهِمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا مَعَكُمۡ إِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ مُسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ (14)

This verse is similar to the other verse in which God, may He be glorified, told of the hypocrites deceiving God, His Messenger, and the believers, and likewise He told about them in this verse that they say - to the believers who believe in God, His Book, and His Messenger - with their tongues: We believe and believe in Muhammad and what he brought from God, deceiving their blood and their money.


their demons

The polytheists - their leaders - their companions from among the infidels - the hypocrites


(we are mockers)

They mock the companions of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace

A look at the verse

Understatement's humor is paradoxical: it conveys two opposing messages at the same time. One is an explicit hostile or biased message. But it's delivered along with a second implicit message that "It's not hostile or biased because I didn't mean it - it's just a joke, by disguising expressions of prejudice in a cloak of playfulness and absurdity, the humor of disparagement seems, like the jokes above, harmless and frivolous. However, a large and growing body of research in psychology suggests just the opposite - that bad humor can reinforce discrimination against target groups.

And see from the above

We have seen from this small part about mockery that it has potential benefits for the person who is mocked by others, and it is considered in other studies as an immature defense mechanism, as for here, mocking the believers and turning to the unbelievers and the hypocrites saying to them that they are with them is an indication of the need of these hypocrites for social acceptance in the unbelievers group, the hypocrite is at least psychologically isolated from the group of believers, even if it is between him and himself. and man is by his nature human beings, so he can only be accepted by a group that lives within its rules, and God Almighty is Most High and Knowing.

ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَهۡزِئُ بِهِمۡ وَيَمُدُّهُمۡ فِي طُغۡيَٰنِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ (15)

God mocks them and increases them in their tyranny make them insight blind.

And this is a reward for them, for mocking His servants. So from his mockery of them, that the misery and evil conditions they were in were made attractive to them, so that they thought that they were with the believers, when God did not give the believers authority over them.

Alamah: Meh Al-Saer: He was perplexed and hesitated on the road and did not know where to go.

blindness of insight: that is, blindness of mind and discernment

Agnosia (in medicine): the loss of the ability to perceive by sense, such as the inability to distinguish between the shapes and natures of things and people

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشۡتَرَوُاْ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةَ بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ فَمَا رَبِحَت تِّجَٰرَتُهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهۡتَدِينَ (16)

Those who have bought error for guidance, their trade did not profit them, and they were not guided (16)

And those who said: The people were believers and disbelieved

It is not burdensome for them, if the matter was as they described the people, because if the matter is so, then they have left faith, and replaced it with disbelief instead of guidance, And that is the understandable meaning of the meanings of buying and selling, but the indications from the beginning of the verses in describing them to the last, indicate that the people were never illuminated by the light of faith, nor did they enter the religion of Islam.

About Qatada

By God, you have seen them stray from guidance to misguidance, from congregation to division, from security to fear, and from the Sunnah to heresy.
