1. The document provides commentary on Quranic verses describing what happens when the soul leaves the body at death. It explains that the soul departs from the collarbone and it is too late then to correct mistakes.
2. It discusses how humans may forget that Allah owns their souls and take guidance lightly. The opportunities to repent end at the pains of death.
3. The verses and commentary serve as a warning about neglecting righteousness and delaying repentance until death, when it is too late. The deceptions of this life will disappear at death for disbelievers when reality is clear.

Deadly H5N1 birdflu needs just five mutations to spread easily in peopleHarm Kiezebrink
Reference: Phys.org. 15 Apr 2014. Dutch researchers have found that the virus needs only five favorable gene mutations to become transmissible through coughing or sneezing, like regular flu viruses.
World health officials have long feared that the H5N1 virus will someday evolve a knack for airborne transmission, setting off a devastating pandemic. While the new study suggests the mutations needed are relatively few, it remains unclear whether they're likely to happen outside the laboratory.

The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.
This Tafsir is particularly suitable for Muslims with no direct access to the Arabic original.
It talks about the people who worship the world. It says how all these things that we see as good, benefiting and blessings are nothing but a trial for us.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Title
The title chosen for these verses by Dr. Wahbatu Zuhaili
is: البعث وإثبات الدنيا في الكافر تفريط
THE DEFICIENCIES OF THE DISBELIEVER IN THIS LIFE AND THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF RESSURECTION
Cause of Revelation (Verse 34 & 35)
َرَشَع َةَعْسِت هاْيَلَع :نزلت لما :قال عباس ابن عن مردويو وابن جرير ابن أخرج
[المدثر74/30أن كبشة أبي ابن كميخبر ،أمهاتكم لقريش:ثكلتكم جهل أبو قال ]
أن منكم عشرة كلأفيعجز ،والشجعان )(العدد ىمّدال وأنتم ،عشر تسعة جهنم خزنة
أن ّملوس عليو اهلل ّىلص رسولو إلى تعالى اهلل فأوحى ،جهنم خزنة من برجل يبطشوا
َأَف ََكل لىَْوأ :لو فيقول ،جهل أبا يأتي.لىَْوأَف ََكل لىَْوأ امُث ،لىْو
Ibn Jareer and ibn Mardawaihi narrated from ibn Abbas:
When the verse “over it are nineteen (angels as guardians and
keepers of Hell)”1
was revealed, Abu Jahl said to the
Quraysh: May your mothers lost you!2
Ibn Abi Kabshah3
told you that the guardians of Hell were only nineteen and
you were groups of brave men, will only ten among you
not be sufficient to handle each of those guardians of
Hell! Then Allah instructs His prophet to meet Abu Jahl
and recite to him the two verses.

Suratul Mudathir 30
2
An Arab exclamation equivalent to “shame on you”
3
A derogative adjective he used for the prophet. Meaning “the son of Abi Kabsha”
6. 6
Explanations
1. Allah gave a clear description of how the soul
leaves the body and the events that surrounds it.
2. The close relatives and friends of the dying person
present with him will call out for every possible
help to prevent his soul from leaving the body. The
scenario shows that the soul has value over the
body. Unfortunately, this is a reality that most
humans realize only at death. When the time of exit
for the soul has reached, it will be too late to
correct mistakes, only a neglectful and arrogant
person will delay his repentance and righteousness
to this point. Lessons should be taken from the time
of death of Fir’awn.
3. The collarbone or clavicle is what connects the
head with the trunk and limbs. Allah will hold the
soul at this important junction before exit only to
establish the reality that has been foretold. This is
a helpless point, a point of no return.
4. Humans may forget the original owner of his soul
and accept deception to feel secure and consider
himself his own master. This is evident as he takes
the instructions of his Lord with laxity and prepares
only a little or none for the day he will meet his
Creator.
5. The opportunities we have to make corrections ends
at the experience of the pains of death:
7. 7
ِنَع ،َرَمُع ِنْب ِوَّلال ِدْبَع ْنَعَالَق ،َمَّلَسَو ِوْيَلَع ُاهلل ىَّلَص َِِِّّبنال:
«ْرِغْرَغُي ْمَل اَم ،ِدْبَْعلا َةَبْوَت ُلَبْقَيَل الَجَو ازَع َوالال انِإ»
Abdullah ibn Umar narrated that the prophet
(sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Allah the
Glorified and Mighty will accept the repentance of
a slave before he experiences the pang of death.4
6. Death was metaphorically referred to in verse 28 as
“separation”. This is because death separates the
soul from the body. The union between the soul and
the body is temporal. The soul is a command of
Allah breathed into the body to give it life. After
death, it will be taken to join either of the
company of other parted souls: those in punishment
and those in the mercy of Allah.
7. The parting of the soul from the body is not an easy
one; this is especially for the disbelievers. Why? The
deception of shaytan to disbelieve and neglect
righteousness which they have accepted and
embraced will end at this point and the door to the
world of reality will be open, this glimpse of reality
is enough as a tool to repel any further deceptions
from shaytan but the time is now late. How would
he wish he will be given another chance! But nay,
the previous evidences through clear explanations
4
Sunan ibn Majah no. 4253
8. 8
of the messengers and surrounding signs were
enough if he had wished well for himself.
8. It is arrogant to deny the reality and truth. Imam
Qatadah said: The prophet held Abu Jahl by the
hand and said to him the two phrases of verses 34 &
35 (before they were revealed). Abu Jahl
responded: with what did you threatened me? You
and your Lord were not capable of doing anything
to me, I’m the most honourable among the
inhabitants of this valley; he turned away going.
Then Allah revealed these verses as the prophet had
said.5
9. A reminder of the early state of helplessness in the
stage of human development will assist him on
humbleness, fight against arrogance and pride.
Allah gave a vivid account of the stages in human
morphological development.
10. The theme of the surah (the power of Allah to
resurrect) with which it started, comes again in the
end: Allah is capable of giving back life to the
dead.

Hadith: At-Taqwa (The Fear of Allah)

Translation
Ibn Hajalaan Albaaheer (may Allah be pleased with him)
said I heard the prophet of Allah admonish the people
during the farewell pilgrimage (may the peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “Fear Allah, observe
your five, fast your month, pay the due on your wealth,
obey the custodians of your affairs, you will enter the
paradise of your Lord”6
6
Reported by Imam Tirmidhi in the book of solat
10. 10
Vocabularies
1. Hijjatul Wada’i7
(Farewell pilgrimage): It was
called so because the prophet performed it towards
the end of his mission. Also, because he gave his
most comprehensive farewell speech in it.
2. Kamsakum (Your five): It refers to the five daily
solats. They weren’t mentioned explicitly because
they were well-known, being a pillar of the religion
and a daily routine.
3. Sha’rakum (Your month): In the singular, referring
to the well-known month of Ramadan.
4. Zakaat of your wealth: “your wealth” was
attached to the command in order to signify the
type of wealth that zakat will be accepted on. No
zakat on borrowed or stolen properties because we
were not the owners.
5. Custodians of your affairs: Those at the helms of
affairs.
Explanations
1. The prophet delivered sermons to the people on the
day of Arafat and on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering
of feast-ram; eid al-adha). This is a proof for the
permissibility or desirability of taking the advantage
of special events and gatherings to admonish the
people. Every occasion or event has admonition
suitable for it; the people have sacrificed a
significant amount of their wealth and time to

against “hajjat-ul-wada’I”
11. 11
perform the hajj; these types of admonitions from
the prophet (as contained in the hadith) were most
suitable to summarize the religion and keep the
people firm on the religion they have come to
perfect with hajj. Furthermore, hajj create an
avenue for intercontinental conference of Muslim
nations, the prophet gave hint on the people’s
responsibility to their government.
2. The prophet started his talks with the admonition
to fear Allah because it is the foundation upon
which genuine and noble characters were based, it
is only with it that acts can have their true
meaning. Only acts that emanate or guided with the
fear of Allah will have a good and rewardable end.
3. The prophet addressed the admonitions to the
humankind in general even though his audience
consisted only of Muslims who came to perform a
pillar of their religion. He followed the same
pattern which Allah used in some parts of the
Qur’an among which is Q2:218
. The message of
Islam and the messengership of the prophet extend
to all of humankind. Muslims are also responsible
for the spread of the message of guidance.
4. Taqwa is an internal force that can only be
appreciated through its manifestation in words and

O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may
become righteous.
Allah directed the command to worship without preceding it with a command to have
a valid faith which is required for any act of worship to be acceptable.
12. 12
actions from the limbs. Sincere utterances and
actions are guided by taqwa.
5. Ali ibn Abi Taalib defined Taqwa as all the
following:
The fear of the Mighty One (Allah)
Implementation of what was revealed
Contentment with the little (sustenance from
Allah according to His decree)
Preparation for the Inevitable Day (of
Resurrection)
6. Successful manifestation of taqwa will result in
constant consciousness of the limits of Allah up to
the minor ones.
7. Abu Darda stated that taqwa will make the one who
possesses it to be conscious of the limits of Allah
until he leaves some part of the halal (permissible
acts) in his awareness on keeping away from what is
doubtful.
8. The prophet used the second person pronoun
(“your”) in most part of this message. These
statements were carefully worded to indicate and
give the following meaning:
You are responsible to fulfill this command
individually. Mine will not be sufficient for
you. This obligation is on each and every one
of you.
The reward is for you according to how you
performed it.
13. 13
A literary style of communication to give
some sense of responsibility to the listener.
9. The prophet also commanded that the leaders must
be followed without expanding further on it. This
was because it has been explained well enough in
the Shariah. The following are only few
explanations on the types and conditions of
followership in Islam.
Unconditional followership is only for Allah and
the prophet.
اَم َوَانَكِنم ْؤِملال َوةَنِم ْؤماَذِإىَضَقَّهللاهولسَر َواًرْمَأْنَأَونكٌَمهَل

It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when
Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they
should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair.
And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has
certainly strayed into clear error.9
The followership of an elected or appointed10
leader is not on the same level as that of Allah
and the prophet.
اٌَاَهٌَُّأٌَِنذَّلاوانَمآواٌع ِطَأَ َّهللاواٌع ِطَأ َوَلوسَّالرًِلوأ َوِرْاألمْمكْنِمْنِإَف

Surat-ul-Ahzab 36
10
An elected or appointed leader is acceptable in the Shariah of Islam. This
appointment will be made by a reputable predecessor with a popular acceptance from
the Muslims community. The election will be made by the highest council of learned
Muslims scholars for public acceptance. Abu Bakr was commissioned as caliph by
election among the Quraish and Umar with appointment by Abu Bakr.
14. 14
O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the
Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you
disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the
Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last
Day. That is the best [way] and best in result .11
There is no followership on an instruction from a
leader which is against the limits of Allah
“Custodians of your affairs” refer to the
following eleven categories of people:
People in authority - elected or appointed.12
The four Rightly Guided Caliphs13
The sahabah
The Muhajiroon and the Ansar
The sahabah and the tabioon14
The intellectuals in authority
The scholars of Islamic jurisprudence.
Group leaders of deputations.
Those of sound knowledge in various sciences.
Their advices should be taken in areas where
there were no clear contradictions with the
text of the shariah
Generally for any one charged with the
responsibility of looking over the affairs of the

Aqeedah: Al-Aud (A pond from paradise)
Preamble
Allah has promised to grant many favours to the prophet
on the Day of Judgment. One of those many grants is this
pond. The following paragraphs will try to share some
knowledge on the pond and explain on the characteristics
of those who will benefit from it as well as those who will
be prevented from it. May Allah count us among those who
will drink from the pond and never go thirsty thereafter.
Definition
It is a pond, cistern, fount or spring of water that will be
made available for the true believers15
among the
ummah16
of Prophet Muhammad to drink from on the Day
of Gathering17
. It is an extension of Al-Kawthar18
granted
to the prophet.
15
Those who constantly guard their religion (faith, worships, morals, etc) from
corruption with sincerity.
16
Ummah: meaning ‘nation’, followers of every messenger of Allah. It
generally refers to all humankind since the time of the prophet and
specifically refers to the Muslims. The last definition is intended herein.
17
Another name for the Day of Judgment.
18
Al-Kawthar is a glorious river in paradise. It has been granted to the prophet.
Refer to Qur’an chapter 108
17. 17
Description
It was described in the Shariah19
with the following
characteristics:
Taste: sweeter than honey.
Smell: pleasant than al-misk20
.
Colour: whiter than milk; brighter than snow.
The cups for drinking: as many as the number of stars in
the sky.
Source: from Al-Kawthar river in paradise
Effect/impact: whoever takes a sip from it will never
again be thirsty.
Shape: a square shape; a side equal to the distance of a
month’s journey or a distance between adan and aila21
.
The place and timing
The scholars of Islam differ on when and at which stage
the event of drinking from this pond will take place on the
Day of Judgment.
Imam Bukhari listed in his collection of hadiths about this
pond after the hadiths concerning passing on As-Siraat22
19
The body of Islamic laws.

Al-misk is the best perfume of the Arab at the time of the prophet. Some
said it now extinct. Others said it is only metaphorical. Literally translated as

bridge. This is an indication to his view that its occurrence
will be after passing on the bridge. But Imams Qurtubi and
Gazali differed with confidence and came to a conclusion
that this event of drinking from the pond will take place
before passing on As-Siraat. This was because of other
hadiths that some people will be prevented from drinking,
which indicate that not only people who were saved from
Hell (by successfully passing over the bridge) will come to
the pond. Those who will be prevented from the pond
were the apostates; they will fall in Hell when passing
through As-Siraat.
True believers will be identified with their lights from
prostration and ablution

Hudhaifa reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: My Aud (pond) is bigger
than the space between Aila and Adan. By Him in Whose
Hand is my soul, I will drive away persons (from it) just as a
person drives away unknown camels from his pond. They (the
companions) said: Messenger of Allah, would you recognize

As-Siraat is a bridge spread over Hell that leads to paradise. Passing on the
bridge over the Hell to Paradise is one of the terminal stages of events on the
Day of Resurrection.

us? He said: Yes, you would come to me with white faces, and
white hands and feet on account of the traces of ablution.
None but you would have (this mark).23
Those who will be prevented from the pond
1. Those who separated themselves from the
community of Muslims:
Kawaarij: They were the first group to split-off
from the community of Muslims. They
considered their opinions infallible and superior
to that of the closest companions of the
prophet. They innovated in the matter of creed.
Shiites: These people were extreme in their
love for Ali bn Abi Taalib and his descendants.
They fabricate traditions to support and justify
their separation from the rest of the ummah.
Mu’tazilites: They were initially students of
Imam Hassan Basri (may Allah be pleased with
him) before they accepted shaytan’s deception
to misguidance and interpret the sacred text of
Islam through Greek philosophical arguments.
They argue and reject the revealed knowledge
with the scholars for Greek philosophy that gave
precedence to human intellect over the
revealed knowledge from Allah.
Baatinites: These were those who gave internal
special meaning to clear messages.
23
Sahih Muslim 248
20. 20
Those who rejoice in corruption and injustice
Injustice and corruption is crime but worse than
that is to shamelessly perpetrate such in the public.
This was so because of the temptation and
encouragement that may affect others from it,
therefore two evils will be involved.
Those who prevent the truth
It is arrogant to reject the truth but worse than
that is to prevent it from spreading.
Those who attack the nobility of the scholars
The noble scholars are models for true followers of
the religion. Any attempt to tarnish their image will
be tantamount to an attack on the religion. They
are humans capable of errors and mistakes; the
clear explanations from the Qur’an and Sunnah are
enough to save any Muslim from blind followership.
Those who rejoice in major sins
Those who took kufaar as role model

At-Tahzeeb: Mockery
Preamble
Mockery or ridicule is one of many sins that is committed
with the mouth. However, it is not spontaneous, it is by
choice. Although the topic is mockery, other excesses of
the tongue will also be discussed in brief. This article will
try gathering some evidences with brief explanations to
warn against the dangers in these acts.
Beware of the proficient scribes
Allah has dedicated two angels for each and every
individual to record every sayings and actions; nothing
slips away from their records.
اَمٌديِتَع ٌيبِقَر ِوْيَدَل اَلِإ ٍلْوَق ْنِم ُظِْفلَي
Man does not utter any word except that with him is an
observer prepared [to record].24
24
Surah Qoof 18
23. 23
Silence in practice
In any situation where there is no clear injustice,
corruption or oppression that will be obligatory to resist
and correct nor is there any misguidance that needed
explanations and correction; silence is preferred. This is
because silence is safer and it prevents one from attacks
of different types; silence is wisdom.
Sisters of mockery
Mockery is only one of the many blunders and crimes that
can be committed with the tongue. Many of these errors
have strong destructive effects on a personal and
collective scale. Any of the following is connected to
mockery in one way or another;
i. Boastfulness: Boasting is condemned in Islam. It is
detested by both Allah and humans. The tongue
plays an important role in the process. Ability to
control the tongue will save one from this act.
ii. Argument: Unnecessary argument should be
avoided. It is only allowed with limiting conditions
to challenge false beliefs, clarify doubts and
establish the truth.
َيِى يِتالاِب ْمُْهلِادَجَو ِةَنَسَْحلا ِةَظِعْوَْملاَو ِةَمْكِْحلاِب َكِّبَر ِيلِبَس ىَلِإ ُعْدا
ْنَع الَض ْنَمِب ُمَلْعَأ َوُى َكابَر انِإ ُنَسَْحأَينِدَتْهُْملاِب ُمَلْعَأ َوُىَو ِوِيلِبَس
Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good
instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best.
Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed
24. 24
from His way, and He is most knowing of who is
[rightly] guided.26
iii. Pride: Pride is an internal disease of the heart but
its effect can be observed externally. The tongue is
one body part that is used to demonstrate this. The
people will hardly hold you responsible for your
internal thoughts until you materialize it. Pride is
identified from utterances, expressions and actions.
iv. Abuse: Abuse is an offensive language that is used
against another person. The implication and effects
of this act range from moral decadence to
arrogance that lead to Hell. Successful control of
the tongue will save one from this act.
v. Waywardness: Waywardness is an opposite of
bashfulness, shyness or modesty. A wayward person
will be identified with his/her loose utterances and
sharp practices. Modesty is part of faith;
introversion is not derogation.
vi. Music: Another well-known excess of the tongue is
music. Music misguides from the straight path due
to its illusionary and artificial stimulation of false
emotions. It intoxicates the intellect and controls
to a designed path of fiction and destruction. The
Qur’an in contrast motivates and guides to success
with established facts. The melody and lyrics of
music is designed with the heart and brain but the
26
Suratul Nahl 125
25. 25
main organ that materializes it is the tongue. If a
result is prevented from display, other processes
that precede it will be destroyed. Ability to control
the tongue will save one from the effects and
implication of the end result.
vii. Jokes: Sinful and excessive jokes are other excesses
of the tongue. The implication of mockery in jokes
will increase according to the sacredness of object
of mockery. Modern day comedy is based on
mockery and telling lies to make others laugh.
viii. Leaking secret
ix. False promises
x. False witness
xi. Backbiting
xii. Slander
xiii. Loose utterances

Allah and remain steadfast (on that believe). He asked again,
and then what should I be conscious of? He replied by pointing
his finger to his tongue.27

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri narrated (that the Prophet s.a.w) said:
"When the son of Adam wakes up in the morning, all of his body
parts bow to the tongue and say: 'Fear Allah regarding us, we
are only part of you. If you are straight we are straight and if
you are crooked we are crooked."30
Prophet Muhammad informed us that one day the people
of prophet Eesa came to him for advice on what can save
them from destruction. He advised them not to speak
again forever; they exclaimed and said that wasn’t
possible, he then advised them on controlling the tongue.
In a statement attributed to Luqman:
ذىب من فالسكوت فضة من الكَلم كاناذا
If speech is silver, silence will be gold
Exceptions
While restriction of speech is encouraged in general,
Muslims were admonished to increase the use of their
tongue on the following:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whoever recites a letter
from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed,
