Sorah Al-Burooj ( The Big Stars ) - Verses Number 22

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ ( 1 )

By the sky containing great stars

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ ( 2 )

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ ( 3 )

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ ( 4 )

Cursed were the companions of the trench

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ ( 5 )

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ ( 6 )

When they were sitting near it

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ ( 7 )

And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses.

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ ( 8 )

And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ( 9 )

To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ ( 10 )

Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ ( 11 )

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment.

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ ( 12 )

Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe.

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ( 13 )

Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats.

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ ( 14 )

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ ( 15 )

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ( 16 )

Effecter of what He intends.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ ( 17 )

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ ( 18 )

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ ( 19 )

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرَائِهِم مُّحِيطٌ ( 20 )

While Allah encompasses them from behind.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَّجِيدٌ ( 21 )

But this is an honored Qur'an

فِي لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍ ( 22 )

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.

Kindness and GentlenessUndoubtedly, the heart leans towards those who are kind and gentle. It was said a long time ago: "Make your face happy and your words gentle, and you will be more beloved to the people than those who give them a gift". The one calling to the religion of Islam and dealing with other people has the utmost need to gather the people around him, and cause their hearts to lean towards him so that they will listen to him. Adorning himself with kindness and gentleness helps to achieve that goal with the grace of Allah.

Enjoining Good, Forbidding EvilIbn Taymiyyah said: "This (enjoining good and forbidding evil) is a duty that the entire Ummah is obliged to fulfil. It is what the Ulama know as an obligation of collective responsibility, if a group in society undertook to discharge it, the other members of this society are absolved from it. The entire Ummah is commissioned to undertake it, but if a group therein was responsible for discharging it, the rest of society is no longer obliged to undertake it."
