Translation of Verse 69-78

(40:69) Have you not considered those who dispute concerning Allah’s revelations, how they are turned away?

(40:70) Those who laid the lie against the Book, and (against) that wherewith We sent Our Messengers - they shall soon know.79

(40:71) When the shackles are around their necks, and the chains, and they are dragged.80

(40:72) In the boiling fluid81 and then in the fire they will be burnt.

(40:73) Then it will be said to them, ‘Where are those you were associating

(40:74) Apart from Allah?’ They will say, ‘They have vanished from us. Nay, we were not invoking anything (substantial) earlier.’82 Thus it is that Allah leads the unbelievers astray.

(40:75) That was because you were rejoicing in the earth without justification, and because you were exulting (insolently).

(40:76) Enter (now) the gates of Jahannum, abiding therein. An evil abode of the arrogant.

(40:77) Therefore, observe patience, surely Allah’s promise is true. Then, whether We show you some of what We promise them, or We complete your life-term, to Us they shall be returned.

(40:78) Indeed, We sent Our Messengers before you, of whom some We have narrated to you (of their story), while of others, We did not narrate to you. And, it was not for a Messenger to bring a miracle but by Allah’s leave. Therefore, when Allah’s command came, it was judged between them in truth and lost were the falsifiers.83


Commentary

79. “’The Book ‘may refer to the Holy Qur’an or to the fundamental, Revelation the ”Mother of the Book" (xiii. 39), while the Books revealed to the messengers are the definite Revelations that came down to men from time to time" (Yusuf Ali).

80. “The rejection of Allah’s Message, however brought, carries its own penalty. The yoke of slavery to Sin and Evil is fastened more and more firmly round the rejecter’s neck, because there is no one to safeguard his freedom, and the chains of superstitions and the ugly consequences of evil restrict his freedom and the limited faculty of choice which was given by Allah to man. This process receives its climax at the Hour of Judgment” (Yusuf Ali).

81. “Hamim” of the text (“boiling fluid” is the literal meaning), and “Jahim” have been thought to be differently located places in Hell, so that the criminals deserving this punishment will be dragged sometimes to “Hamim” and sometimes to “Jahim” (Thanwi).

82. “All falsehoods will vanish: Cf. vii. ##36. The only Reality will be fully manifest even to those to whom Evil was made to seem alluring in the lower life. They will feel in their inmost souls that they had been pursuing mere shadows, things of no real existence. This was the result of their rejecting the Light and the Grace of Allah: they got entangled in the mazes of error” (Yusuf Ali).

83. “The Signs of Allah are everywhere, and can be seen by the discerning eye at all times. But if any extraordinary Signs are demanded by cynics or Unbelievers, they will not be granted merely because they are demanded. It is Allah’s Will that issues them, not merely the desire of human beings, even if he be a Messenger of Allah. But when an extraordinary Sign does issue by the Command of Allah, it means that the cup of the iniquitous is full; that their case is decided, and their time of respite is past; and that Justice takes the place of Mercy, and evil is blotted out” (Yusuf Ali).
