Yunus Page 215 وَ لَوْ And if اَنَّ that لِكُلِّ for every نَفْسٍ soul ظَلَمَتْ (that) wronged مَا whatever فِی (is) in الْاَرْضِ the earth لَافْتَدَتْ it (would) seek to ransom بِهٖ ؕ with it وَ اَسَرُّوا and they (will) confide النَّدَامَةَ the regret لَمَّا when رَاَوُا they see الْعَذَابَ ۚ the punishment وَ قُضِیَ But will be judged بَیْنَهُمْ between them بِالْقِسْطِ in justice وَ هُمْ and they لَا (will) not یُظْلَمُوْنَ (be) wronged اَلَاۤ No doubt اِنَّ indeed لِلّٰهِ for Allah مَا (is) whatever فِی (is) in السَّمٰوٰتِ the heavens وَ الْاَرْضِ ؕ and the earth اَلَاۤ No doubt اِنَّ indeed وَعْدَ (the) Promise of Allah اللّٰهِ (the) Promise of Allah حَقٌّ (is) true وَّ لٰكِنَّ But اَكْثَرَهُمْ most of them لَا (do) not یَعْلَمُوْنَ know هُوَ He یُحْیٖ gives life وَ یُمِیْتُ and causes death وَ اِلَیْهِ and to Him تُرْجَعُوْنَ you will be returned یٰۤاَیُّهَا O mankind النَّاسُ O mankind قَدْ Verily جَآءَتْكُمْ has come to you مَّوْعِظَةٌ an instruction مِّنْ from رَّبِّكُمْ your Lord وَ شِفَآءٌ and a healing لِّمَا for what فِی (is) in الصُّدُوْرِ ۙ۬ your breasts وَ هُدًی and guidance وَّ رَحْمَةٌ and mercy لِّلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ for the believers قُلْ Say بِفَضْلِ In the Bounty اللّٰهِ (of) Allah وَ بِرَحْمَتِهٖ and in His Mercy فَبِذٰلِكَ so in that فَلْیَفْرَحُوْا ؕ let them rejoice هُوَ It خَیْرٌ (is) better مِّمَّا than what یَجْمَعُوْنَ they accumulate قُلْ Say اَرَءَیْتُمْ Have you seen مَّاۤ what اَنْزَلَ (has been) sent down اللّٰهُ (by) Allah لَكُمْ for you مِّنْ of رِّزْقٍ (the) provision فَجَعَلْتُمْ and you have made مِّنْهُ of it حَرَامًا unlawful وَّ حَلٰلًا ؕ and lawful قُلْ Say آٰللّٰهُ Has Allah اَذِنَ permitted لَكُمْ [to] you اَمْ or عَلَی against اللّٰهِ Allah تَفْتَرُوْنَ you invent (lies) وَ مَا And what ظَنُّ (will be the) assumption الَّذِیْنَ (of) those who یَفْتَرُوْنَ invent عَلَی against اللّٰهِ Allah الْكَذِبَ the lie یَوْمَ (on) the Day الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ (of) the Judgment اِنَّ Indeed اللّٰهَ Allah لَذُوْ (is) surely Full (of) Bounty فَضْلٍ (is) surely Full (of) Bounty عَلَی to النَّاسِ the mankind وَ لٰكِنَّ but اَكْثَرَهُمْ most of them لَا (are) not یَشْكُرُوْنَ۠ grateful
54. And if every soul, that had committed evil, had all that is on the earth, it would like to pay it as ransom to escape86; and they will feel remorse within them, when they will see the punishment. And justice will be dispensed among them, and they will not be wronged.
55. Lo! All that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah Lo! Verily, Allah’s promise is true, but most of them do not know.
56. It is He who gives life and death, and to Him you have to return.
57. O Mankind! An exhortation87 has come to you from your Lord, a healing 88 for what is (ailing) in hearts, a guidance89 and a mercy for believers90.
58. Say: This (Book) is with the grace and mercy of Allah, so let them rejoice therein. It is better than all (the riches) that they are hoarding91.
59. Say: Have you considered what provision Allah has sent down for you and how you have made of it unlawful (Haram) and lawful (Halal)? Ask them: Has Allah allowed you to do this, or do you invent a lie concerning Allah?92
60. And what have those who invent a lie concerning Allah thought of the Day of Resurrection? Verily Allah is truly Bountiful towards mankind93, but most of them are ungrateful.
86. For explanation please see Note No.124, Surah Maidah.
87. In this ayah four special characteristics of Qur’an have been mentioned. The first one is that it is ‘exhortation’, which means that it is an advice which creates an awakening and extreme humbleness in the heart.
88. This is the second special characteristic of the Qur’an, that it is a remedy for the sickness of the heart or the internal or spiritual sickness. As man falls a prey to the visible and physical diseases. so also he is afflicted by internal or spiritual diseases, for example disbelief is an internal cancer. Sinning is a tuberculosis for the heart. Greed for money is a madness of the mind, and shamelessness and carnal desires are the diseases which blind the soul.
For all these internal diseases of man Quran’s being a prescription of sure cure is a fact undeniable. At the time when the Qur’an was in the process of being revealed, mortally sick humanity received the much desired cure and history is witness that in every age whenever men turned to Qur’an they became the bearers of healthy and enviable character. Even in the modern times, when the moral degradation has reached its nadir, those who live their life in accordance with the teachings of Qur’an possess the golden quality of moral purity. Thus the experience has proved that the real cure for all the internal and spiritual ills of man is in Qur’an.
89. The third special characteristic of Qur’an is that it is a Divine Guidance by which the people of faith get their lead as to the direction they should adopt at every turn of their life-journey.
90. The fourth special characteristic of Qur’an is that it is a mercy from God. The people of faith are blessed with the Divine Mercy at every stage of their journey under the Divine Guidance.
91. That is: Compared to this spiritual wealth the material riches which the people are hoarding are insignificant, and it is their overactive involvement in hoarding money which does not allow them to come near the Qur’an.
92. In this verse by provision is meant all those pure edible and potable things which Allah has created, but the polytheists have, owing to their superstitions, declared quite a number of them as haram or unlawful for people to eat or drink. Eating or drinking of which would amount to sinning. Calling such an act as sinful shows that they consider that Allah has declared them unlawful. Qur’an asks such persons: how have you come to know that God has declared them unlawful, and if it is their claim that God has permitted them to declare whatever they like as: lawful or unlawful, then bring some proof in support of their claim. And if there is no proof, then your claim is nothing more than inventing a lie concerning God. The polytheists of Arabia had declared some specific kinds of camels and she camels and the young of some animals as unlawful, and the polytheists of India have declared eating of the cow-flesh as unlawful and certain castes have totally banned the eating of animal flesh. For further details, please see Notes Nos. 262 and 263, Surah Al-An’am.
93. Since Allah is kind to His slaves, He does not want that you should be liable for punishment in the Hereafter and for this reason He has informed you about His likes and dislikes. But if you decide to carry on regardless of His likes and dislikes, and declare a thing lawful or unlawful according to your sweet will, then on the Day of judgement you will have essentially to answer for such an irresponsible behaviour, and you will not escape punishment for your rebellious acts.
