In the name of God , the beneficent, the merciful


Read in the name of thy Lord Who created.

created man from a clot.

Read thy Lord is the Most high,

who taught by the pen,

taught man which he knew not.

Despite this, man still rebels

because he thinks that he is independent

However, (all things) will return to your Lord

nay! most surely man does transgress (all bounds)."

for he thinks himself self-sufficient."

verily, to your lord is the return .

have you seen him who forbids

a servant when he prays? (1)

have you seen whether he is on (the road of) guidance?

or enjoins piety?

have you seen if he reiects and turns away?"

does he not know that God surely sees?"

nay! if he desist not, we will certainly seize him by the forelock,

a lying, sinful forelock! (2)

Let him call on his associates for help

and We too will call the stern and angry keepers of hell.

(Muhammad),nay! heed him not; but prostrate yourself and draw nigh
(to God)."



Holy Quran



The occasion of the revelation:

as it was mentioned in the description of the content of this sura,
is the first sura that came to the heart of the holy prophet (s)
some have even said that all the commentators believe that the first five verses,
of the sura, were the first direct revelation to the holy prophet (s).
their contents confirm this idea, too.

some narrations denote that the holy prophet (s) had gone
to mount hira when gabriel came and told him: "iqra'" (read/
proclaim). he said that he was not `versed'. gabriel embraced him and
told him again to proclaim; and the prophet (s) repeated the same
answer. gabriel embraced him for a second time, but was given the
same answer. then, for the fourth time he told him: "read (proclam!)
in the name of your lord who created", (and recited the first five verses).

finishing the verse, gabriel then took leave from the prophet(s).

the messenger of allah, his energy spent due to receiving the
first rays of revelation, went to his wife, khadijah, and told her: "cover
me; wrap me in a mantle.".

the following is a tradition from tabarsi, in majma'-al-bayan, and
he cites that the messenger of allah told khadijah that whenever he
was alone he heard a voice.

according to tabarsi khadijah told mohammad (s): "allah
will not bring anything on you but goodness because you are trustworthy and
pay the deposits, you observe bonds of relationship, and you are truthful in
speech."

khadijah said this statement and, then, she went to see
waraqah-ibn nufil. (he was khadijah's cousin and was of the
knowledgeable arabs.) she described to him what had happened to
mohammad (s) and added that he had heard the voice say: "o
mohammad say: `bismillah-ir-rahman-ir-rahim,
al - hamd - u - lillah - i - rabb - al - 'alamin (to the end of sura
fatihah)'; and say: `la ilaha illallah'.".

waraqah said: "rejoice thou! rejoice thou! according to what is
mentioned in taurat and ingeel it is clear that he is the messenger of allah
and he is the very one that jesus christ told about in his glad tidings. he
has a religion like that of moses; he is an apostle. he will be told to fight in
the holy war soon after this, and if i am alive then, i will be with him in
that holy war."

later, when waraqab died, the messenger of allah said: "i saw
him in heaven (the heaven of the lesser judgment) having a high rank for
he had believed in me and confirmed me."


(1) a servant when he prays?"


does such a person not deserve the divine punishment?

in traditions it is said that abu-jahl inquired of the people around
him: "does mohammad put his face on the ground (for prostration)
amongst you, too?" they answered that he did. then, he said: "by what
we take an oath to, if i see him in that state i will tread his neck under my
foot". at that moment they told him to look; that the prophet was
praying thereabout.

abu-jahl went to tread the prophet's (s) neck under
his foot, but when he approached him he stopped and it seemed as if he
was pushing something away from himself with his hand. he was asked
what was the matter with him, and he answered: "suddenly, i saw a ditch
of fire between me and him; a frightful thing, and i saw some wings and
feathers, too."

the messenger of allah (s) said about this: "by the one in
whose hand is my life, if he had come close to me, the angels of allah would
have torn his body to pieces and taken them away one by one."

it was on this occasion that the above verses were revealed. 1
in conformity with those traditions, the above verses were
revealed at the beginning of the prophetic mission. they were not
revealed later when the call of islam was known to all. hence, some
believe that only the firs five verses of this sura were revealed at the
beginning of the prophetic mission and the rest were revealed after a
considerable length of time.


(2) "a lying, sinful forelock!"

in any event, the objective meaning that abu-jahl, or the likes of
him, will be seized by his forelock and dragged on to the blazing fire, is
that this happening occurs in the hereafter or in this world or in both of
them. its witness is the narration cited in tafsir-i-fakhr-i-rzai (vol. 32,p. 23).

the term /nasiyah/ means 'forelock', and `its seizing' is said for the
case when a person is to be taken to something with humiliation,
because when the forelock of a person is seized he can do nothing but
submit to the circumstances.

the word /nasiyah/, of course, is used for both men and precious
things. it is used in some other senses, too.
the words "a lying, sinful forelock" refer to a person with a
forelock who was both a lier and sinful like abu-jahl.

I mean, what’s the worst that could happen if it is denied completely? It’s just one theory out of thousands. It’s not as though mathematics is being denied.

My grandparents anniversary is coming up, and I have gathered beads that represent or remind me of each of the grandchildren. Now the question is, what do I do with them? I had thought I might make a necklace (my grandmother loves stuff like that), but then what about my grandfather? So the question is: What can I make, using beads, that would be a good present for my grandparents' anniversary?

The only reason people become racist is because they might have a bad experience with one or two people and just generalize and assume that because other people have similar "racial" background that they act the same. The unfair part is that they don't judge people within their race like that, they see them as individuals. Why can't some people mature and follow the simple phrase "Don't judge a book by it's cover". Don't be so shallow:)
