Al-Ĥaj (The Pilgrimage) - سورة الحج
[In
the Name of ALLAH, the ENTIRELY MERCIFUL, the ESPECIALLY MERCIFUL]
22:1

Translation
O
mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a
terrible thing.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
O
mankind, that is, the inhabitants of Mecca and others: fear your Lord, that is,
of His punishment, by being obedient to Him. Surely the earthquake of the Hour
[of Doom], that is, the violent quaking of the earth after which the sun will
rise from the west, [something] which will be near [the time of] the Hour, is a
tremendous thing, in the way it will distress people — this itself being a sort
of punishment.

On
the Day you see it every nursing mother will be distracted from that [child]
she was nursing, and every pregnant woman will abort her pregnancy, and you
will see the people [appearing] intoxicated while they are not intoxicated; but
the punishment of Allah is severe.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
On
the day when you behold it, every, actually, nursing female, on account of this
[tremendous day], will neglect her suckling, that is, she will forget it; and
every pregnant female will deliver her burden, and you will see mankind [as
though] drunk, because of the severity of [their] fear, yet they will not be
drunk, because of any drink; but God’s chastisement is severe, and so they will
be terrified of it.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
The
following was revealed regarding al-Nadr b. al-Hārith and his companions: And
among mankind are those who dispute about God without any knowledge — they
would say, ‘The angels are God’s daughters, and the Qur’ān [a collection of]
the fables of the ancients’. In addition, they would deny resurrection and the
bringing back to life of those who had become dust — and [those who] follow, in
their manner of disputing, every rebellious devil,

devil, that whoever takes him for a friend, that is, [whoever] follows him, he
will make him go astray and will lead him, summon him, to the chastisement of
the Blaze, namely, to the Fire.

O
People, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that]
indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging
clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show
you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We
bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your
[time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and
among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he
knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren,
but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something]
of every beautiful kind.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
O
mankind, in other words, [O] people of Mecca, if you are in doubt about the
Resurrection, then lo! [consider that] We have created you, that is, [We have
created] your origin — Adam — from dust then, We created his progeny, from a
drop, a sperm-drop, then from a clot, congealed blood, then from a [little]
lump of flesh (mudgha), a piece of flesh, the size of what one would [be able to]
chew (mā yumdagh), partly formed, shaped, complete in form, and partly
unformed, that is, uncomplete in form, that We may make clear to you, the
perfect nature of Our power, that you might [then] infer from this initial act
of creation, the [reality of its future] restoration. And We establish
(nuqirru, marks a new [grammatically independent] sentence) in the wombs
whatever We will for a specified time, that is, until the time for it to come
out, then We bring you forth, from the bellies of your mothers, as infants, and
then, We extend your life, that you may come of age (ashuddakum), that is to
say, [your] prime and strength, which is [that age] between thirty and forty
years. And there are some of you who are taken away, by death, before coming of
age, and there are some of you who are relegated to the most abject time of
life, its most despicable [state] of decrepitude and senility, so that after
[having had] some knowledge, he no longer knows anything — ‘Ikrima said,
‘Whoever recites the Qur’ān, such a state will not befall him’. And you see the
earth torpid, barren, yet when We send down water upon it, it stirs, it moves,
and swells, it rises and grows, and grows [plants of] (anbatat min, min is
extra) every delightful, fair, kind, species.

turning
aside (thāniya ‘itfihi, a circumstantial qualifier, meaning ‘turning his neck

or the right) to go astray (read li-yadilla; or li-yudilla, ‘to lead [others]
astray’) from the way of God, that is, [from] His religion. For him there will
be ignominy, chastisement, in this world — thus he [Abū Jahl] was slain on the
day of Badr — and on the Day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the
chastisement of the burning, that is, [the chastisement of] being burnt in the
Fire, and it shall be said to him:

you have offered [in the way of deeds] — He refers to him with reference to the
two [hands] as opposed to other [parts], because most actions are effected
through them — and because God is not unjust to His servants’, chastising them
without [their having committed] any sin.

And

is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to the
other direction]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is
the manifest loss.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
among mankind there are those who worship God on a knife-edge: that is, with
uncertainty in his worship — such [a person] has been likened the [knife-] edge
of a mountain in his precariousness — if good [fortune] befalls him, [so that
he enjoys] health and security with respect to his own self and his property,
he is reassured by it; but if an ordeal befalls him, a trial or ill-health with
regard to himself or his property, he makes a turnabout, that is, he reverts to
disbelief, losing both this world, when what he had hoped for in it has eluded
him, and the Hereafter, by [his] disbelief. That is the manifest loss.

He
calls on him (the lām [of la-man] is extra) whose harm, when worshipped, is
likelier than his benefit, even if he were to have any benefit, as he imagines
[him to have]. Truly an evil patron, is he, that is, [an evil] helper, and an
evil friend, [an evil] companion is he. After the mention of ‘the doubter’ and
[his being in manifest] ‘loss’ [above, verse 11] there follows [the mention of]
the believers and [their] reward, as follows:

Whoever
supposes that God will not help him, namely, Muhammad (s) His Prophet, in this
world and the Hereafter, let him extend a rope to the ceiling, [to] the roof of
his house, fixing it there and [tying it] to his neck, and let him hang
himself, that is, let him choke to death because of it, by severing his soul
from [any existence on] the earth, as [reported] in the [various] Sahīh
compilations. Then let him see whether his strategy, against the Prophet being
helped, dispels that which enrages him, about it. In other words, let him choke
to death with rage because of it, for it is inevitable.

Truly

Have

heavens and whoever is in the earth, together with the sun and the moon, and
the stars and the mountains, and the trees and the animals, that is, how they
are submissive to Him in what He wills of them, as well as many of mankind?,
namely, the believers, [who prostrate to Him] in addition to their
submissiveness [to Him] when prostrating in prayer. And for many the
chastisement has become due, and these are the disbelievers, for they refuse to
prostrate, [an action] which is contingent on belief. And he whom God abases,
[he whom] He makes unprosperous, there is none to give him honour, [none] to
make him fortunate. Indeed God does whatever He will, in the way of abasing or
giving honour.

curse the [Mosque’s] attendant, We shall make him taste a painful chastisement,

[above] is a discontinuous one; but it could also be [taken as] continuous, so
that the prohibition is of that which has died and so on. So avoid the
abomination of idols (mina’l-awthān: min here is explicative [as opposed to
partitive], in other words, ‘[avoid abomination], namely, idols’), and avoid
false speech, that is to say, ascribing partners to God in your [uttering of

him, into a far-off place, so that there is no hope of his being saved.

sacrifice offered in the Sanctuary, after the best of them have been selected
and fattened — derives from the piety of the hearts, of those individuals.
These [sacraments] are called sha‘ā’ir because they are marked out [ish‘ār]
with something to indicate that they are offerings, such as having a hump
pierced with a piece of metal.

this world, as already mentioned, and a reward in the Hereafter. So mention
God’s Name over them, at the point of immolating them, when they are lined up,
standing on three legs, with the left foreleg hobbled. Then, when their flanks
have collapsed, fallen to the ground after immolation — which is the time when
one may eat of them — eat of them, if you wish, and feed the [self-contained]
beggar (al-qāni‘, [a beggar] who is content with what he is given, neither
asking nor approaching [people]) and the suppliant (al-mu‘tarr, [a beggar] who
asks [for charity] or approaches [people for that purpose]). So, that is,
similar to such a disposal, We have disposed them for you, that it may be
immolated or ridden — for otherwise it would not have been possible — that
perhaps you might be thankful, for My graces to you.

ears with which to hear?, the stories of how they were destroyed and their dwelling-places
were ruined, and so take heed? Indeed it is not the eyes that turn blind, but
it is the hearts that turn blind within the breasts (allatī fī’l-sudūr, for
emphasis).

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
We did not send before you any messenger (rasūl) — this is a prophet who has
been commanded to deliver a Message — or prophet (nabī) — one who has not been
commanded to deliver anything — but that when he recited [the scripture] Satan
cast into his recitation, what is not from the Qur’ān, but which those to whom
he [the prophet] had been sent would find pleasing. The Prophet (s) had, during
an assembly of the [men of] Quraysh, after reciting the [following verses from]
sūrat al-Najm, Have you considered Lāt and ‘Uzzā? And Manāt, the third one?
[53:19-20] added, as a result of Satan casting them onto his tongue without his
[the Prophet’s] being aware of it, [the following words]: ‘those are the
high-flying cranes (al-gharānīq al-‘ulā) and indeed their intercession is to be
hoped for’, and so they [the men of Quraysh] were thereby delighted. Gabriel,
however, later informed him [the Prophet] of this that Satan had cast onto his
tongue and he was grieved by it; but was [subsequently] comforted with this
following verse that he might be reassured [of God’s pleasure]: thereat God
abrogates, nullifies, whatever Satan had cast, then God confirms His
revelations. And God is Knower, of Satan’s casting of that which has been
mentioned, Wise, in His enabling him [Satan] to do such things, for He does
whatever He will.

sickness, dissension and hypocrisy, and those whose hearts are hardened,
namely, the idolaters, [hardened] against acceptance of the truth. For truly
the evildoers, the disbelievers, are [steeped] in extreme defiance, [in] a
protracted feud with the Prophet (s) and the believers, for his tongue uttered
mention of their gods in a way that pleased them, and yet this was later
nullified.

than the Qur’ān that is being recited to you? It is, The Fire! God has promised
it to the disbelievers, in that their journey’s end shall be to it. And it is
an evil journey’s end!’

Translation
O
people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke
besides Allah will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered
together for that purpose. And if the fly should steal away from them a [tiny]
thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer and pursued.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
O
mankind, that is to say, [O] people of Mecca, a similitude is being struck, so
listen to it, and it is that: truly those on whom you call, [whom] you worship,
besides God, that is, other than Him, and these are the idols, will never
create a fly (dhubāb is a generic noun, the singular of which is dhubāba, for
both the masculine and the feminine) even if they rallied together to do so, to
create it. And if a fly should take away something from them, [such as a drop]
of the scents or the saffron in which they drench themselves, they would not be
able to recover that from it, because of their [complete] incapacity: so how
can they worship those [whom they suppose to be] partners of God, exalted be
He? An odd thing — which He has expressed by striking a similitude. Feeble is
the seeker, the worshipper, and the [thing] sought, the [thing] worshipped!

They
have not appraised Allah with true appraisal. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and
Exalted in Might.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
They
do not esteem God, exalt Him, with the esteem He deserves, with the exaltedness
[He deserves], for they ascribe to Him partners who can neither protect
themselves from a fly, nor retaliate against it. Truly God is Strong, Mighty,
Victor.

Hearing and Seeing.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
God
chooses from the angels messengers and [also chooses] from mankind, messengers
— this was revealed after the idolaters said, Has the Remembrance been revealed
to him out of [all of] us? [Q. 38:8]. Truly God is Hearer, of what they say,
Seer, of those whom He chooses as messengers, such as Gabriel, Michael,
Abraham, Muhammad (s) and others, may God bless them and grant them peace.

Translation
And
strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not
placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your
father, Abraham. Allah named you "Muslims" before [in former
scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over
you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give
zakah and hold fast to Allah. He is your protector; and excellent is the
protector, and excellent is the helper.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
struggle in the way of God, in order to establish His religion, a struggle
worthy of Him, by expending all effort therein (haqqa is in the accusative
because it is a verbal noun). He has elected you, He has chosen you for His
religion, and has not laid upon you in your religion any hardship, that is,
[any] constraint, for He has facilitated [adherence to] it during times of
difficulty, such as [His permitting you] to shorten prayers, to seek ritual
purification from earth, to eat of carrion, and to break the fast during
illness or travel — the creed of your father (millata is in the accusative because
the genitive preposition kāf [sc. ka-millati, ‘like the creed of’] has been
omitted) Abraham (Ibrāhīma, an explicative supplement). He, that is, God, named
you Muslims before, that is, before [the revelation of] this Book, and in this,
that is, [in] the Qur’ān, so that the Messenger might be a witness against you,
on the Day of Resurrection, that he delivered the Message to you, and that you
might be witnesses against mankind, that their messengers delivered the Message
to them. So maintain prayer, observe it regularly, and pay the alms, and hold
fast to God, trust in Him. He is your Patron, your Helper and the Guardian of
your affairs. An excellent Patron, is He, and an excellent Helper, for you.
