TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79) continues

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_*

Yaum As-sabt | 11th day of Swafar, 1448 AH | Saturday, 25th July, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SŪRAH AN-NĀZIʿĀT (Qur'an 79) continues_*. BismilLah. 


Assalaamu Alaikum WarahmatulLah. Today, we continue our study of Suurah An-Naazi'aat (Qur'an 79) Verses 4 and 5. In these opening verses from verses 1-5, ALLAH Azzawajal swears by groups of HIS noble Angels, each of whom has been entrusted with specific duties in carrying out HIS commands. These oaths are not because ALLAH is in need of swearing, but to draw our attention to the greatness of what is about to be mentioned from verse 6 going.

The scholars of Tafsīr explain that whenever ALLAH Azzawajal swears by any of HIS creation in the Qur'an, it highlights the importance of the subject that follows. Such oaths prepare the listener for a profound truth, a solemn warning, or a momentous event that deserves careful reflection.

As we will begin studying from verse 6 tomorrow, in shaa ALLAH, the focus of the sūrah shifts to the terrifying events that will unfold at the onset of the Day of Resurrection. These verses serve as a powerful reminder of the certainty of the Hereafter and the need to prepare for our meeting with HIM, ALLAH Azzawajal.

May ALLAH (Azzawajal) grant us beneficial knowledge, sincere understanding of the Qur'an, and the ability to act upon what we learn. Aameen. 


Verse 4

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا

"Then those Angels who race ahead." Meaning, the Angels hasten to fulfil ALLAH'S commands before anything else. Some scholars also mention that they race with the souls of believers toward the mercy of ALLAH Azzawajal. This verse highlights the perfect obedience and eagerness of the Angels.

They never procrastinate or question ALLAH'S command as some of us do. AstaghfirulLah. 


Verse 5

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا

"Then those Angels who arrange every matter." Meaning, ALLAH Azzawajal entrusts different groups of Angels with different responsibilities in the universe.

These include: Angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) delivering revelation. Angel Mikā'īl (Michael) overseeing rain and vegetation. Angel Isrāfīl who will blow the Trumpet. The Angel of Death and his helpers taking souls.

Angels recording deeds. Angels protecting people by ALLAH'S permission etc. They only carry out ALLAH’S decree, they possess no independent power.

ALLAH Azzawajal says:

"...those who regulate affairs by HIS command." (Qur'an 13:2). ALLAHU AKBAR. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
