The reason for the revelation of the Surah

The reason of its name

Surat An-Naml was given this name because the story of ants was mentioned with our master Solomon, peace be upon him.

Allah say

طسٓۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ وَكِتَابٖ مُّبِينٍ (1) هُدٗى وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ (2)

Tah - seen These are the verses of the Qur’an and a clear Book (1) guidance and good news for the believers (2)

It was narrated on the authority of Ibn Abbas that his saying: (Tah seen)

  An oath sworn by God is one of the names of God.

These verses of the Qur’an are a statement from God, by which He makes clear the path of truth and the path of peace.

A view around the two verses

Tasm: a secret of God Almighty, and it is of the same type as the letters of the Arabic language

(just a meaning)

Our lives have turned overnight into a set of symbols, from the names of banks to the names of international organizations to even brands and logos, Did God Almighty give a symbol for each surah to be known by it on the Day of Resurrection? So who has (Al-Tawasin), that is, all the surahs that begin with (Tas)? For example, it is a specific key to a part of Paradise. No one can enter this code to enter this place except them. Of course, God knows and we do not know.

So it is

  An oath from God - the Almighty - to His faithful servants that this book is clear and clear, and it is guidance and good news. To whom, Lord? (For believers exclusively) Who are these believers? The following verses will explain who they really are.

Allah says

ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوقِنُونَ (3)

Those who perform prayer and pay zakat and are certain of the Hereafter (3)

It is guidance and good news for those who believe in it and perform the obligatory prayer within its limits. And his saying, “We have explained that in the past, is sufficient for us to repeat it in this place.

A view around the two verses

The first characteristic of believers (establishing prayer)

What is the establishment of prayer? Its meaning in the language is (anchoring). The rock has been established, meaning it has settled. What this means is that you place it between your sides, between yourself, not just the movements you perform that nullify the obligation. If you want to establish something in a place that does not move, its roots are established, right? And the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - He told us about prayer (it is a connection between a servant and his Lord) and is there a close connection in any relationship around you that is stable and established except through conversation and good communication? The world of people has taught us that talking a lot with your partner (whether a business partnership or a personal relationship) is the gateway to the continuity of life, the opposite of this is intermittent or little speech, which is the gateway to a separate life, so talk to God - the Almighty - (monologue) and tell Him about the most important challenges in your life, tell him about your demands, tell him about your interest in his paradise and your fear of his fire, You can have a relationship and perform a prayer, otherwise you should perform the prayer and not perform it in yourself first, and God is Most High and Most Knowing.

The second attribute ( Al Zakat)

We will attach a link to zakat spending, and the rest of the category about spending in general in Islam. All we would like to add in this regard is that the dinar is not called dinar in the Arabic language, but it is religion and hell, If you impose it on yourself, your family, and others in truth, it is your religion. Otherwise, it is your fire. May God protect you and us.

Third adjective (in the Hereafter they are certain)

It is a quality that is truly difficult to attain, as actions speak louder than words. The idea that you are certain of another day, reckoning and punishment, has consequences, It has discipline in our daily life. We do not say that we do not get up from the prayer rug, but rather our words - our movements - our daily action for the sake of God, It is all calculated with a precise calculation that distinguishes us, if we are among those who are certain of the Hereafter, from others who are not certain.

One last glance

The certainty: is a firm belief

Are you one of those who firmly believe that there is an afterlife, heaven, hell, and meeting God Almighty? We will not talk about actions here, but about your thoughts? Do you believe in this? Many, many people, including Muslims, are not certain of this. Return your eyes to the beginning of the verses, knowing that this Qur’an is guidance and good news (for believers exclusively).

Allah says

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ (4)

Indeed, for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have beautified their deeds for them, so they not seen by their hearts (4)

Those who do not believe in the Hereafter, the resurrection of the Hour, and the return to God after death, and the reward and punishment. (We have beautified for them their deeds) We have endeared to them the ugliness of their deeds, And we have made this easy for them. (And they are blinded.) He says: They are in the error of their ugly deeds that We have beautified for them. They hesitate and are confused, thinking that they are doing good.

A view of the verse

We agreed before that the principle of things is to be free of adornment. We are the ones who decorate the bride, we are the ones who decorate homes, we are the ones who decorate companies, we decorate even mosques with interior decorations...etc. God - the Almighty - says in this noble verse that is before us: Actions also have adornments. Indeed, if they did not have adornments, some people would not have seen - may God protect us - And He - the Almighty - said to us that whoever does not believe in the afterlife: God has not left them alone. They do not believe in the afterlife and the matter is over. Rather, on the contrary: The deeds they do in this life are made beautiful to them, so they feel that they are great deeds for humanity. Then the verse ends with His saying - the Almighty - (And they will not seen with their heart' eyes ) Al Amah is not the blindness. Al Amah is the blindness of the heart , not sight, And just as God - the Almighty - gives a reward to whoever believes in Him, as God Almighty said - in more than one place (and those who are guided - their guidance will increase)   Increasing guidance is their reward. Here is the reward for the disbelievers: embellishing deeds and obliterating insight - may God protect us from His grace -

Allah says

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ وَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلۡأَخۡسَرُونَ (5)

Those are the ones who will have the worst punishment, and in the Hereafter they will be the losers (5)

(Those are those who will have an evil torment) God Almighty says: Those who do not believe in the Hereafter will have an evil torment in this world, and they are the ones who were killed at Badr among the polytheists of Quraysh, On the Day of Resurrection, they will be the ones who lost trade and lost it by buying misguidance for guidance, but their trade did not profit nor were they guided.

A view of the verse

Those (exclusively) will have the worst torment on the Day of Resurrection, and in the Hereafter they will be the most losers, not just losers, It is as if he is saying - Almighty - that they are the people who will lose most in the afterlife - we ask God for well-being.

Allah says

وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ مِن لَّدُنۡ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ (6)

And indeed, you will receive the Qur’an from Yourself, All-Wise and All-Knowing (6)

And indeed, O Muhammad, you will memorize the Qur’an and teach it (from the Wise, the All-Knowing)   And their interests, and what is happening among their affairs, and the past of their news, and what is happening among them.

A view of the verse

O Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - and O nation of Muhammad after him (Indeed, you will receive the Qur’an from the Wise, the All-Knowing). What do you feel? If your business is dealing with a robot with a high information load, While you deal with him day and night, and every problem comes back to him, do you feel anxious if he breaks down? The idea of relying on someone with extensive, high-level knowledge makes you feel reassured and wise We will not say that it is just placing the right thing in the right place, but rather the wise man deals with each of us, believer or unbeliever, with great wisdom, giving one person ample sustenance, another granting him limited sustenance, and a third He finds himself distressed, his depression or the lack of meaning in his life increases, so he keeps searching and searching and searching for meaning, and if he does not find it, he decides to euthanize him while he is at the peak of his glory.

to imagine

There is a person in your family (the head of the family is a wise man) and you quarreled with your wife and the quarrel leads to divorce. Who should you go to? The youngest person in the family is reckless, Or do you go to the great family wise man who takes matters slowly and with deep thought and reconciles what is between you? Of course you go to this wise man.

So when you know that this Qur’an came from a knowledgeable and wise authority

After that, you will read the Qur’an and you are certain that within it is knowledge (religious and worldly + wisdom) In which people spend their lives in order to reach it, the West calls it (the conscious mind) and they carry it in the mind and the personality they like.

Allah says

إِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَهۡلِهِۦٓ إِنِّيٓ ءَانَسۡتُ نَارٗا سَـَٔاتِيكُم مِّنۡهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوۡ ءَاتِيكُم بِشِهَابٖ قَبَسٖ لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَصۡطَلُونَ (7)

When Moses said to his family, “Indeed, I have witnessed a fire. I will bring you news from it, Or will I bring to you a bright shooting star, so that you maybe to warm (7)

When Moses said

Knowing when Moses said (to his family) while he was on his way from Midian to Egypt, and the cold of the night had hurt them, I get you some of the fire, So that you can warm yourself with it from the cold

Allah says

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهَا نُودِيَ أَنۢ بُورِكَ مَن فِي ٱلنَّارِ وَمَنۡ حَوۡلَهَا وَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ (8)

When it came to her, it was announced, “Blessed be he who is in the Fire, And those around it, and Glory be to God, Lord of the Worlds (8)

  The veil of glory, the veil of kingship, the veil of authority, and the veil of fire, which is the fire from which we are called. He said: And the veil of light, and the veil of clouds, and the veil of water, but it was said: Blessed be he who is in Hell, and it was not said: Blessed be he who is in Hell, according to the language of those who say: May God bless you. The Arabs say: May God bless you and bless you.

Allah says

يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ (9)

O Moses, indeed, I am Allah, the Mighty, the Wise (9)

God Almighty says, mentioning him, informing about his saying to Moses: (Indeed, I am God, the Mighty) in his vengeance on his enemies (the Wise), in his management of his creation.

Allah says

وَأَلۡقِ عَصَاكَۚ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهۡتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنّٞ وَلَّىٰ مُدۡبِرٗا وَلَمۡ يُعَقِّبۡۚ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَا تَخَفۡ إِنِّي لَا يَخَافُ لَدَيَّ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ (10)

And he threw your staff, and when he saw it shaking, It is as if it were a jin, and he turned back and did not follow you back,   O Moses, do not be afraid, for indeed, those who are sent are not to be feared at Me (10)

And he threw it and it became alive and shaking (and when he saw it shaking as if it were a jinn)

He says: It is as if it were a great serpent, and the jinn: a well-known species of serpents.

And his saying: (He turned away)

God Almighty says: Moses turned away in fear of her (and did not follow up). He says: And he did not return. From their saying: So-and-so’s heels: If he returns on his heels to where he started.

So God said to him: Come and do not be afraid, for you are among those who believe. He said: He also did not stop at any of this until he said: We will restore it to its former way of life, . He said: So he turned and saw that it was a staff as it was. He returned and took it, and then he became strong after that until he started sending it to Pharaoh and taking it.

Allah says

إِلَّا مَن ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسۡنَۢا بَعۡدَ سُوٓءٖ فَإِنِّي غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ (11)

Except he who is unjust and then replaces Hassan ( good) After evil, indeed, I am Forgiving, Merciful (11)

  God secured him with His promise of forgiveness and mercy, and included him among those who had no fear among the messengers. Some of the grammarians of Basra said: I was included except in this place, because do not interfere with such speech, like the saying of the Arabs: I only complain of good. So he did not make his saying: “Only good” a complaint, but he knew that if he said: I never complain about anything when he mentions good about himself, as if he said: I only remember good. How did he become afraid of injustice, then replace good with bad, and he is forgiven? So I tell you There are two aspects to this verse: one of them:

To say: The messengers are infallible and will be forgiven and safe on the Day of Resurrection, and whoever mixes a good deed with another bad deed will fear and hope, this is a view.

And the other

To make an exception for those who were left out in the word, because the meaning is: The messengers do not fear before me, but the fear is for those other than them. Then he made an exception and said: (Except him who is unjust and then substitutes good for him) He says: He was a polytheist, then he repented from polytheism, and did good, for that is forgiven, and he has no fear. He said: On the authority of Mujahid, his saying: (Except he who is unjust and then substitutes good after evil)   Then he repented after his transgression (For indeed, I am Forgiving and Merciful).

Allah says

وَأَدۡخِلۡ يَدَكَ فِي جَيۡبِكَ تَخۡرُجۡ بَيۡضَآءَ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ سُوٓءٖۖ فِي تِسۡعِ ءَايَٰتٍ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَقَوۡمِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمٗا فَٰسِقِينَ (12)

And put your hand in your pocket and you will come out brighter than anything else,   In nine verses concerning Pharaoh and his people. Indeed, they were a sinful people. (12)

(And put your hand in your pocket)

He mentioned that God Almighty commanded him to put his palm into his pocket. He only ordered him to put it in his pocket, because what he had on that day was a woolen armor. Some of them said: It had no sleeve.

(comes out white)

He says: The hand comes out white, unlike the color of Moses (without evil). He says: Without leprosy (in nine verses) God Almighty says: Put your hand in your pocket and it will come out white without blemish. It is one of nine signs with which you were sent to Pharaoh,   He left out the mention of Mursal due to the meaning of his saying (to Pharaoh and his people)

He left out the mention of Mursal due to the meaning of his saying (to Pharaoh and his people)

However, that is what it means

(Nine signs against Pharaoh and his people are those that God mentioned in the Qur’an: the stick, the hand, the locusts, lice, the frogs, the flood, the blood, the stone, and the obliteration that befell Pharaoh’s family in their wealth.

And he said: (Indeed, they were a sinful people.)

Pharaoh and his people were Copts (the inhabitants of Egypt: they were called Copts)   They were an immoral people, meaning they disbelieved in God, and we have explained the meaning of immorality previously.

Allah says

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ ءَايَٰتُنَا مُبۡصِرَةٗ قَالُواْ هَٰذَا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ (13)

Then when Our signs came to them clearly, they said, “This is clear magic.” (13)

Pharaoh and his people said: This with which Moses brought us is clear magic. He says: It is clear to those who look at it that it is magic
