Lessons from Surah Yaseen - Part (2)

Part 4: 33 to 47 verses

Creation: The verses summarizes about the various Signs of Allah in Nature and Revelation. A sign for us is the dead Earth, and how Allah brings life to it. The whole creation of Allah: springs, water falls, trees, animals, cattle to feed on, humans (created from a drop), vegetation, milk to drink, fruits, mountains, day, night, heaven, hell, whole universe are signs from Allah for a believer. This creation of Allah that is visible to us here is something which would also be present in Jannah, and in abundance In Sha Allah. And Allah[SWT] created all the things in pairs. Every kind of Plant has also been made into Sexes. Even unisex Plant has distinct character of male and female.

Lesson: We need to appreciate Allah alone for His creation around us. This beautiful life with all luxuries is only the mercy of Allah [SWT].

Qamar (Moon) is referred to Prophet Muhammad [SWS]: As first interpretation of this reference, the believer's faith goes through phases, just like the moon has its phases.

Lesson: The believer should not be depressed, when his/her faith gets to its lowest. If he/she strives again, In Sha Allah, it raises back again. The believer's aim should be to make the best in whatever phase he/she lives in.

As a second interpretation, the moon reflects the light coming from the sun. Similarly, the believer's faith should be the reflection of what Allah mentions in the Quran.

As another sign from Allah, its mentioned how He (Allah) saved Nuh (AS) and believers in a ship, and destroyed other disbelievers.

Lesson: If Allah [SWT] wills, he could drown the ship or to let the Aeroplane we fly or the car we drive in to crash, Naou-zu-billah. Its only with the will of Allah that we are flying in the planes safely every time. Alhamdulilah.

Allah also tells to spend money in His cause.

Lesson: Let us also spend money on orphan, poor, needy, injured, homeless whether muslim or non muslim to please Allah [SWT]. We need to take care of the people around us.

Part 5: verses 48 to 83

Day of Resurrection: Allah says, On the day of Resurrection, People lying in their graves will be woken up. The whole mankind from Adam (AS) to the end of this world will be standing in front of Allah [SWT]. And the record of our deeds is presented in front of our Rabb. Our own body gives witness to what we said, what we did, how we spent life on this Earth. So on that day no soul will be wronged at all, and we will not be recompensed except for what we used to do. Everything has been already recorded by angels. Allah says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated (rotten and have become dust)?". Allah will give us life, who produced us the first time; and He is Knowing of every creation.

In Jannah: The believers and the disbelievers will be separated. Allah (Ar Rahman) gives Jannah to believers as He promised them. Allah [SWT] gives Salam to the believers on entering Jannah. The people of Jannah will get whatever they want. There will be nothing like tiredness, sleep, etc there. Allah says, Indeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be amused in joyful occupation. They and their spouses - in shade, reclining on adorned couches. For them therein is fruit, and for them is whatever they request [or wish].

In Hell Fire: And the disbelievers will also be standing, the idols of the idol worshipers will be along with them. The idols wills be of no use to them on that day. The criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Islamic Monotheism, wicked evil ones will be thrown into Hellfire. The fuel of the fire will be the idols itself.

Conclusion: Prophet Muhammad is only to warn whoever is alive and to convey the message (Quran - coming from Allah) to all man kind (including disbelievers).

Lesson: This life has to come to an end one day by the will of Allah. Whatever we do everyday, every hour is being documented in a register and this book will be presented in front of us on the judgement day. Everything we do today has to result into our own future whether good or bad. We just need to follow Allah’s commands. We are His slaves. If we follow our desires, we will see the consequences accordingly. His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him we will be returned. He is the one who created the Heavens and the Earth. Subhanallah.

Any Ayah(verse) could have different interpretations also. Lets understand below verses in the light of Science.

1. As per scientific studies, the Sun is moving to a spot called Solar Apex (stopping point) and will exist for only a particular time period. It too has its end. Allah says...

And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing. ~ Surah Ya Seen verse 38

2. As per scientific studies, Sun rotates as it orbits the center of the Milky Way. The Earth and Moon orbit around the Sun, which is a star sitting in the center of our Solar System. Allah says...

It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming. ~ Surah Ya Seen verse 40
