In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Our Rob (Allah) said: We have sent you O Muhammad as a Mercy to the Alamin.
And We send not the Messengers except as givers of glad tidings and Warners. But those who disbelieve, dispute with false arguments, in order to refute the truth thereby. And they treat MY Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs and revelations etc.) and that with which they are warned, as a jest and mockery! Vol.18:56.
And We have sent you, [O Muhammad], not but as a mercy to the ‘Alamin (Mankind, jinn and all that exists). Vol21:107
Surat Al-Masad – 111:
1. Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi-Sallam and perish he!
2. His wealth and his children will not benefit him!
3. He will be burnt in a Fire of blazing flames!
4. And his wife, too who carries wood (thrones of Sa’dan which she used to put on the way of Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi- Sallam, or use to slander him.
5. In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad (palm fiber).
Narrated by Ibn Abbas (RA): When the Verse: - 'And warn your tribe of near kindred.' (26.214) was revealed. Allah's Apostle went out, and when he had ascended As-Safa Mountain, he shouted, "Ya Sabahah!"* The people said, "Who is that?" "Then they gathered around him, whereupon he said, "Do you see? If I inform you that cavalrymen are proceeding up the side of this mountain, will you believe me?" They said, "We have never heard you telling a lie." Then he said, "I am a plain Warner to you of a coming severe punishment." Abu Lahab said, "May you perish! You gathered us only for this reason? “Then Abu Lahab went away. So the "Surat:--ul—LAHAB" ‘be destroyed the hands of Abu Lahab!' (111.1) was revealed. –Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, No. 495).
*“Ya Sabahah!” is an Arabic expression used when one appeals for help or draws the attention of others to some danger.”
A. “Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab (an uncle of Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Sallam) and perish him!”
B. “And his wife too, who carries wood.” Mujahid said: ‘Carries the wood’ means that she used to slander (the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi-Sallam and goes about with calumnies.
C. ‘In her neck is a twisted rope of palm fiber, i.e. the chain which is in the Fiber (of Hell).’–Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, 469).
Narrated by Said bin Jubair (RA): “When Sura No. 111. Al-Masad was revealed, the wife of Abu Lahab came looking out for the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi-Sallam while Abu Bakr (RA) was sitting beside him. Abu Bakr said to the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi-Sallam: ‘I wish if you get aside (or go away) as she is coming to us, she may harm you’. The Prophet said: ‘There will be a screen set between me and her’. So she didn’t see him Sallalahu Alaihi-Sallam. She said to Abu Bakr, ‘Your companion is saying poetry against me’ Abu Bakr said: ‘By Allah he does not say poetry.’ She said: do you believe that? Then she left, Abu Bakr said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger! She didn’t see you’. The Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi-Sallam said: ‘An angel was screening me from her.’ [This Hadith is quoted in Masnad Abu Ya’la]. It is said that if the Verse [(17:45) –
(And when you recite the Qur'an, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition.-Al-Qur’an 17:45)
The Qur’an] is recited by a real believer (of Islamic Monotheism) he will be screened from a disbeliever. (Allah knows best). (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol.10, No. 269)
The story of the army of the Elephants (the Qur’an 105:1-5).
This incident happened during the period of the birth-year Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi-Sallam. Abrahah Al-Ashram was the governor of Yemen on behalf of the king of Ethiopia (as Yemen was a part of the Ethiopia kingdom). He (Abraha) thought to build a house (like the Ka’bah at Makkah) in Sana'a (the capital of Yemen) and call the Arabs to perform the intention of diverting the trade and benefits from Makkah to Yemen. He presented his idea to the king of Ethiopia who agreed to his idea. So the house (church) was built and he named it Al-Qullais’, there was no church of its like at that time. Then a man from the Quraish tribe of Makkah came there and was infuriated by it, so he relieved his nature (stools and urine) in It., soiled its walls and went way. When Abrahah Al-Ashram saw that, he could not control his anger and raised an army to invade Makkah and demolish the Ka’bah. He had in that army thirteen elephants and amongst them was an elephant called Mahmud which was the biggest of them. So that army proceeded and none amongst the Arab tribes that faced them (fought against them) but was killed and defeated, till it approached near Makkah. Then there took place negotiations between Abrahah Al-Ashram and the chief of Makkah (Abdul Muttalib bin Hashim, the grandfather of the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi-Sallam , and it was concluded that Abrahah would restore the camels of Abdul Muttalib which he had taken away, and then he (Abrahah Al-Ashram) would decide himself as regards the Ka’bah. Abdul Muttalib ordered the men of Makkah to evacuate the city and go to the top of the mountain along with their wives and children in case some harm would come to them from the invading oppressors. The army moved towards Makkah till they reached valley Mushassir. While the army was marching towards Makkah, on the middle of the valley, suddenly it was partaken by flocks of birds, flocks after flocks, air-raiding that army with small stones slightly bigger than a lentil seed. There never fell a stones on a solder except it dissolved his flesh and burst it into pieces. So they perished with a total destruction. Abrahah Al-Ashram fled way while his flesh was bursting into pieces till he died on the way (back to Yemen). Such was the victory bestowed by Allah, (the All-Majestic, All-Powerful) to the people of Makkah and such was the protection provided by Him for His House (Ka’bah in Makkah). See Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Surah Al-Fil.
Narrated Anas (RA) Said:
The Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi-Sallam said: "None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children
all mankind." –Shahi Bukhari Vol.1 No. 14.
Narrated Abu Huraira (RA) Said:
The Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi-Sallam said: "The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is like a Mujahid (warrior)
who fights for Allah's Cause, or like him who performs prayers all the night and fasts all the day." Shahi Bukhari Vol.17, No. 625.
