If we make t he word "Kalla'' negat ive, t hen t his Ayah means, ` O son of Adam! You are not able t o deny t hat which I informed you of at t hat t ime (deat h). This will become somet hing wit nessed by you wit h your own eyes.' If we consider t he word "Kalla'' t o be a word of affirmat ion, t hen t his would be t he most obvious meaning. In t his case it would mean t hat it is cert ainly t rue when t he soul reaches t he collarbones - meaning, ` your soul will be pulled out of your body and it will reach your collarbones.' This is similar t o Allah's st at ement , ラ ∠ ヱ⊥ゲヌ ⊥ レ∠ゎ グ∃ ゃ͡ レ∠ Β͡ェ ∇ユわ⊥ ル∠ぺヱ∠ - ュ∠ ヲ⊥ボ∇ヤエ ⊥ ∇ャや ろ ͡ ピ∠ ヤ∠よ∠ や∠クま͡ Ι ∠ ∇ヲヤ∠プ∠ ぴ -ラ ∠ ヱ⊥ゲダ ͡ ∇らゎ⊥ Ι z リ͡ム⇒∠ャヱ∠ ∇ユム⊥ レ͡ョ ヮ͡ ∇Βャ∠ま͡ ゆ ⊥ ゲ∠ ∇ホぺ∠ リ ⊥ ∇エル∠ ヱ∠ ∇ユわ⊥ レ⊥ミ ラ͡ま べ∠ヰル∠ ヲ⊥バィ ͡ ∇ゲゎ∠ - リ ∠ Β͡レΑ͡ギョ∠ ゲ∠ ∇Βビ ∠ ∇ユわ⊥ レ⊥ミ ラ͡ま Ι ∠ ∇ヲヤ∠プ∠ びリ ∠ Β͡ホギ͡ ⇒∠タ (Then why do you not (int ervene) when (t he soul of t he dying person) reaches t he t hroat And you at t he moment are looking on, but We are nearer t o him t han you, but you see not , t hen why do you not if you are exempt from t he reckoning and recompense, bring back t he soul, if your are t rut hful) (56:83-87) Thus, Allah similarly says here, びベ ∃ や∠ケ ∇リョ∠ モ ∠ Β͡ホヱ∠ - ヴ ∠ ホ͡ や∠ゲわz ャや ろ ͡ ピ∠ ヤ∠よ∠ や∠クま͡ Κ z ミ∠ ぴ (Nay, when it reaches t o t he collarbones.

(6:61,62) Mentioning the Case of the Denier Allah says, び ヴzャヲ∠ ゎ∠ ヱ∠ ゆ ∠ グz ミ∠ リ͡ム⇒∠ャヱ∠ - ヴzヤタ ∠ Ι ∠ ヱ∠ ベ ∠ ギz タ ∠ Κ ∠ プ∠ ぴ (So, he neit her believed nor prayed!

This is t o inform about t he disbeliever who used t o deny t he t rut h in his heart in t he abode of t his worldly life, and he used t o t urn away from act ing according t o it s way. Thus, t here is no good in him, int ernally or ext ernally. Therefore, Allah says, zユを⊥ - ヴzャヲ∠ ゎ∠ ヱ∠ ゆ ∠ グz ミ∠ リ͡ム⇒∠ャヱ∠ - ヴzヤタ ∠ Ι ∠ ヱ∠ ベ ∠ ギz タ ∠ Κ ∠ プ∠ ぴ び ヴzトヨ∠ わ∠ Α∠ ヮ͡ ヤ͡∇ワぺ∠ ヴ∠ャま͡ ょ ∠ ワ∠ ク∠ (So he neit her believed nor prayed!

Then he walked in conceit (full pride) t o his family admiring himself!)(75:31-33) meaning, st ubborn, cruel, obst inat e, want on, lazy, having no concern and doing no deeds. This is similar t o Allah's st at ement , びリ ∠ Β͡ヰム͡ プ∠ ∇やヲ⊥らヤ∠ボ∠ ルや ∇ユヰ͡ ヤ͡∇ワぺ∠ ヴ∠ャま͡ ∇やヲ⊥らヤ∠ボ∠ ルや や∠クま͡ヱ∠ ぴ (And when t hey ret urned t o t heir own people, t hey would ret urn j est ing.)

This means, ` you deserve t o st rut like t his while you have disbelieved in your Creat or and Maker.' This is what is commonly said in t his t ype of sit uat ion in order t o mock and int imidat e (someone). This is as Allah says, び ユ⊥ Α͡ゲム∠ ∇ャや ゴ⊥ Α͡ゴバ∠ ∇ャや ろ ∠ ル∠ぺ マ ∠ ルzま͡ ∇ベク⊥ ぴ (Tast e you (t his)! Verily you were (pret ending t o be) t he might y, t he generous!)

(41:40) There are ot her examples of t his as well. Abu ` Abdur-Rahman AnNasa'i recorded from Sa` id bin Jubayr t hat he said, "I ment ioned t o Ibn ` Abbas, び ヴ∠ャ∇ヱほ∠プ∠ マ ∠ ャ∠ ヴ∠ャ∇ヱぺ∠ zユを⊥ - ヴ∠ャ∇ヱほ∠プ∠ マ ∠ ャ∠ ヴ∠ャ∇ヱぺ∠ぴ (Woe t o you!

He (Ibn ` Abbas) replied, ` The Messenger of Allah said t his t o Abu Jahl, t hen Allah, t he Might y and Sublime, revealed t his Ayah.''' Ibn Abi Hat im recorded from Qat adah t hat he said concerning Allah's st at ement , び ヴ∠ャ∇ヱほ∠プ∠ マ ∠ ャ∠ ヴ∠ャ∇ヱぺ∠ zユを⊥ - ヴ∠ャ∇ヱほ∠プ∠ マ ∠ ャ∠ ヴ∠ャ∇ヱぺ∠ぴ (Woe t o you! And t hen woe t o you!

Neit her you nor your Lord are able t o do anyt hing, and verily, I am t he might iest person walking bet ween it s (Makkah's) t wo mount ains.''' Man will not be left neglected Allah says, び ン⇔ギシ ⊥ ポ ∠ ゲ∠ ∇わΑ⊥ ラ∠ぺ リ ⊥ ⇒∠ジル͡Ηや ょ ⊥ ジ ∠ ∇エΑ∠ ぺ∠ぴ (Does man t hink t hat he will be left neglect ed) As-Suddi said, "Meaning not resurrect ed.'' Muj ahid, Ash-Shafi` i and ` Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam, all said, "Meaning, he will not be commanded and prohibit ed.'' Apparent ly t he Ayah includes bot h meanings. This means t hat he will not be left neglect ed in t his worldly life, wit hout being commanded and prohibit ed. He also will not be left neglect ed in his grave unat t ended t o wit hout being resurrect ed. Rat her he will be commanded and prohibit ed in t his life, and gat hered back t o Allah in t he abode of t he Hereaft er. The int ent here is t o affirm t he exist ence of t he abode of t he final ret urn and t o refut e whoever rej ect s it from t he people of deviance, ignorance and st ubbornness. Thus, Allah uses t he beginning of creat ion as a proof for t he repet it ion of t he creat ion in His saying, び ヴ∠レ∇ヨΑ⊥ ヴ y レ͡ ョz リあョ る⇔ ヘ∠ ∇トル⊥ マ ⊥ Α∠ ∇ユャ∠ぺ∠ぴ (Was he not a Nut fah of semen emit t ed) meaning, was not man a weak drop of sperm from a despised fluid known as semen, t hat is emit t ed from t he loins int o t he wombs び ンzヲジ ∠ プ∠ ペ ∠ ヤ∠ガ ∠ プ∠ る⇔ ボ∠ ヤ∠ハ ∠ ラ ∠ ゅ∠ミ zユを⊥ ぴ (Then he became an ` Alaqah; t hen shaped and fashioned in due proport ion.) meaning, he became a clot , t hen a lump of flesh, t hen he was formed and t he soul was blown int o him. Then he became a perfect creat ion wit h healt hy limbs, as eit her a male or a female by t he permission and decree of Allah. Thus, Allah says, び ヴ∠んルyΙや∠ヱ ゲ∠ ミ∠ グz ャや リ ͡ ∇Βィ ∠ ∇ヱゴz ャや ヮ⊥ ∇レョ͡ モ ∠ バ∠ イ ∠ プ∠ ぴ (And made of him t wo sexes, male and female.)

(30:27) The first view is more popular, and Allah knows best . Supplication upon completing this Surah Abu Dawud recorded from Musa bin Abi ` A'ishah t hat he said, "A man used t o pray on t op of his house and whenever he recit ed, び ヴ∠ゎ∇ヲヨ∠ ∇ャや ヴ ∠ Β͡ ∇エΑ⊥ ラ∠ぺ ヴ∠ヤハ ∠ ケ∃ ギ͡ ⇒∠ボよ͡ マ ∠ ャ͡ク∠ ザ ∠ ∇Βャ∠ぺ∠ぴ (Is it not so t hen, t hat He would be able t o give life t o t he dead) he would say, ` Glory t o You, of course.'

Abu Dawud was alone in t ransmit t ing t his Hadit h and he did not ment ion who t his Companion was, but t here is no harm in t hat . This is t he end of t he Tafsir of Surat Al-Qiyamah, all praise and t hanks are due t o Allah. The Tafsir of Surat Al-Insan (Chapter - 76) Which was revealed in Makkah It has been ment ioned previously t hat it is recorded in Sahih Muslim from Ibn ` Abbas t hat t he Messenger of Allah used t o recit e in t he Morning prayer on Friday: び∠モΑ͡ゴレ∠ゎ ユャやぴ (Alif Lam Mim.

This would mean, t hey give food while t hey t hemselves love it and desire it . This was st at ed by Muj ahid and Muqat il, and it was t he preferred opinion of Ibn Jarir.

In reference t o t he capt ive, Sa` id bin Jubayr, Al-Hasan and Ad-Dahhak all said, "He is t he capt ive among t he people of t he Qiblah (i.e., t he Muslims).'' Ibn ` Abbas said, "At t hat t ime (when t his Ayah was revealed) t heir (t he Muslims') capt ives were idolat ors.'' Proof for t his is t hat on t he day of Badr t he Messenger of Allah commanded his Companions t o t reat t he capt ives respect fully. They (t he Companions) would give t hem preference over t hemselves when eat ing t heir meals. ` Ikrimah said, "They (capt ives) are t he slaves.'' Ibn Jarir preferred t his opinion since t he Ayah generally refers t o bot h t he Muslim and t he idolat ors. Sa` id bin Jubayr, ` At a', Al-Hasan and Qat adah all made similar st at ement s. The Messenger of Allah advised t reat ing servant s well in more t han one Hadit h.

Muj ahid said, "Abus ` Abis means (frowning wit h) t he t wo lips and Qamt arir means drawing up t he face in a scowl.''

Allah's swearing by Different Creatures about the Occurrence of the Hereafter Ibn Abi Hat im recorded t hat Abu Hurayrah said, び ゅ⇔プ∇ゲハ ⊥ ͡ろ⇒∠ヤ∠シ∇ゲヨ⊥ ∇ャや∠ヱぴ (By t he Mursalat ` Urfa.) "The angels.'' From Masruq, Abu Ad-Duha, Muj ahid in one narrat ions from him, As-Suddi and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, st at ement s similar t o t his have been report ed. It has been report ed from Abu Salih t hat he said, "These are t he Messenger.'' In anot her narrat ion from him (Abu Salih) he said t hat it means t he angels. Abu Salih has also said t he meaning of Al-` Asifat , An-Nashirat , Al-Fariqat and Al-Mulqiyat , t hat t hey all refer t o t he angels. At h-Thawri narrat ed from Salamah bin Kuhayl, who report ed from Muslim Al-Bat in, who report ed from Abu Al-` Ubaydayn t hat he asked Ibn Mas` ud about t he meaning of Al-Mursalat ` Urfa, and he (Ibn Mas` ud) said, "The wind.'' He said t he same about Al-` Asifat ` Asfa and An-Nashirat Nashra, t hat t hey all refer t o t he wind. Ibn ` Abbas, Muj ahid and Qat adah all said t he same. Ibn Jarir confident ly affirmed t hat Al-` Asifat ` Asfa means t he wind j ust as Ibn Mas` ud and t hose who followed him said.However, he (Ibn Jarir) did not affirm whet her An-Nashirat Nashra are t he angels or t he wind as has preceded. It has been report ed from Abu Salih t hat An-Nashirat Nashra is t he rain. The most obvious meaning is as Allah says, び∠ウホ͡ や∠ヲャ∠ ゥ ∠ ゅ∠Αゲあ ャや ゅ∠レ∇ヤシ ∠ ∇ケぺ∠ヱ∠ ぴ (And we send t he winds fert ilizing.) (15:22) He also says, ∇ンギ∠ Α∠ リ ∠ ∇Βよ∠ ⇔ンゲ∇ゼよ⊥ ゥ ∠ ゅ∠Αゲあ ャや モ ⊥シ ͡ ∇ゲΑ⊥ ン͡グャzや ヲ∠ ワ⊥ ヱ∠ ぴ び͡ヮわ͡ ヨ∠ ∇ェケ∠ (And it is He Who sends t he winds as heralds of glad t idings, going before His mercy (rain).) (7:57) Similarly, Al-` Asifat are winds. It is said (in Arabic) t hat t he winds ` Asifat when t hey make noise wit h t heir blowing. Likewise, An-Nashirat are t he winds t hat scat t er int o clouds in t he horizons of t he sky according t o t he will of t he Lord.

This was said by Ibn Mas` ud, Ibn ` Abbas, Masruq, Muj ahid, Qat adah, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, As-Suddi and At h-Thawri. There is no difference of opinion here, because t hey (t he angels) are t he ones who descend wit h Allah's command t o t he Messengers, separat ing bet ween t he t rut h and falsehood, guidance and misguidance, and t he lawful and t he forbidden. They bring t he revelat ion t o t he Messengers, which cont ains exempt ion or absolvement for t he creat ures and a warning for t hem of Allah's t orment if t hey oppose His command. Allah said, び ノ∀ ホ͡ ヲ∠ ャ∠ ラ ∠ ヱ⊥ギハ ∠ ヲ⊥ゎ ゅ∠ヨルz ま͡ぴ (Surely, what you are promised will occur.) This is t he subj ect of t hese oat hs.

If he did good, t hen his reward will be good, and if he did evil, t hen his reward will be evil. All of t his will occur, meaning it will come t o pass and t here is no avoiding it .

Mentioning the Story of Musa and that it is a Lesson for Those Who fear Allah Allah informs His Messenger Muhammad about His Messenger Musa. He ment ions t hat he sent Musa t o Fir` awn and He aided him wit h miracles.

Thus is t he punishment of whoever opposes you (Muhammad ) and rej ect s t hat which you have been sent wit h.

Thus, t he meaning of Allah's st at ement , び∇れ∠ケヲあ ミ⊥ ぴ (Kuwwirat ) is t hat part of it will be folded up int o anot her part of it . Then it will be rolled up and t hrown away.
