Surah Ghafir.........Prologue,... ayat 1 to ayat 7




friends, dato and tansri,



Surah Ghafir
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Ha. Mim. (1) The revelation of the Scripture is from Allah, the Mighty, the Knower, (2) The Forgiver of sin, the Accepter of repentance, the Stern in punishment, the Bountiful. There is no God save Him. Unto Him is the journeying. (3) None argue concerning the revelations of Allah save those who disbelieve, so let not their turn of fortune in the land deceive thee (O Muhammad). (4) The folk of Noah and the factions after them denied (their messengers) before these, and every nation purposed to seize their messenger and argued falsely, (thinking) thereby to refute the Truth. Then I seized them, and how (awful) was My punishment. (5) Thus was the word of thy Lord concerning those who disbelieve fulfilled: that they are owners of the Fire. (6) Those who bear the Throne, and all who are round about it, hymn the praises of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who believe (saying): Our Lord! Thou comprehendest all things in mercy and knowledge, therefor forgive those who repent and follow Thy way. Ward off from them the punishment of hell. (7)

The folk of Noah and the factions after them denied (their messengers) before these, and every nation purposed to seize their messenger and argued falsely, (thinking) thereby to refute the Truth.

how very true indeed!
mankind, up to this 21st century are still bickering about  'ugama'
from noah's time, to abu jahal, abu lahab, charles darwin, stephen hawkings, richard dawkin, christopher hitchens.
all are saying NO to ugama. 
and we have minions the likes of isahak, hamzah, ali, john and puthuceary, irshad manji etc and etc echoing the same song.
how tragic!

before coming to surah ghafir , i was half worried that there would not be a decent commentary in the utube but lo and behold i stumbled upon a good one coming from turkey.
assoc prof halis aydemir may not have the linguistic dexterity of nouman ali khan or shaykh tawfique chowdhury.
linguistic dexterity aside, in the science of tafseer , it is the content that matter.

enjoy him.
