women


Prime Minister John Howard accused of stifling the voice of Australian Muslim Women

Earlier, PM John Howard had claimed that the Muslims in Australia is an inferior community as they cannot speak English properly and therefore is not fully accepting the ‘Australian Values’. Of late, Howard has yet again hit the headlines with his statement that the Australian Muslim men should treat their women in a decent way if they are to be fully accepted as a part of the Australian community. However, this words of the Mr. PM has caught him in a soup as Dr Christina Ho, an academic from the Sydney’s University of Technology has accused Howard of making it even more difficult for the Muslim women to voice their complaints. In Dr Ho’s words: How can Muslim women freely speak out then about issues like domestic violence without further fuelling the racism that has been generated by the close linking-up of women’s rights with an anti-Muslim agenda? Those women who dare to speak are often tagged as anti-Muslims, and now with the PM’s declaration, Dr. Ho fears that the Australian Muslim Women will hardly speak about their woes. Via: ABC

Iraqi girl’s rapists may get death sentence

That day of March was indeed a black day for the 14-year-old Iraqi girl, who was mercilessly raped and then killed by four soldiers from the US Army. The sexual predators did not just remain satisfied with their brutal rape act. None of the family members were spared. However, justice is in place, though too late. According to an official report given by special army investigator, Col Dwight Warren, ‘reasonable grounds exist to believe that each accused committed the offence for which he is charged’. If this is to be believed, the criminals will be sentenced to death for the sadist act that they committed, under the special law incorporated in the rulebook of ‘military law’. Via: INDEPENDENT

The Arab Strategy Forum discussed the issues related to women empowerment

Recent convention of the Arab Strategy Forum discussed the issues related to the development of the native women and their empowerment under the banner of ‘Women as Agents of Change’. The convention was attended by Her Highness Sheikha Haya Al Khalifa, President of the UN General Assembly, United Nations; Her Excellency Mary Robinson, President of the Ethical Globalization Initiative and former President of Ireland, and Aicha Belarbi, founder of Morocco’s Human Rights Association. The panelists explained that in order to change the social mind set towards women, realization of gender equality and empowerment would be required along with quality education. Belarbi asserted that the biggest challenge that women face in the 21st century is a struggle between the forces of progress and change and the forces of tradition and culture. Other issues that were discussed at the meeting were health benefits, unbiased distribution of roles in households, also eradication of gender discrimination in the workplace. Read

Michigan county pool allows Muslim girls to cover up while swimming

Perhaps this is for the first time ever in Michigan that a girl from Muslim community has led to a change in the general laws of the recreation centre. 14-year-old Jumanah Saeedeh is just like any another teenager. She likes doing everything like her peers but the only difference is that she is a Muslim girl and likes to wear the hijab. A student of seventh grade, one day Jumanah went for a field trip along with her classmates to a public swimming pool. Since she believed in the rituals and practices of Islam religion, she wore fully covered dress and she dived into the pool donning her hijab. Nevertheless, Jumanah’s action was rebuked by the park supervisor, saying that is was against the policies: she can’t swim in her ‘street clothes’. At that point, the young girl couldn’t retaliate but soon she approached the influential Muslim leaders, and a civil rights attorney. Ultimately, this girl won her game as for the first time ever a public pool changed it laws so that it can accommodate more girls like Jumanah who want to adhere to their religious sentiments even while going for a dive.

22-year-old Muslim girl marries a man of 70 in Bihar

In India, due to heavy dowry demands and extreme poverty, parents often marry off their daughter to man as old as 60 years. NDTV reports Crippled by financial crisis and poverty, 22-year-old Tehrunissa had to marry the visually challenged 70-year-old landlord in Gaya district of Bihar. The young girl has admitted that she does not regret marrying a man old enough to be her father because it was the only way for her to beat the poverty-stricken life. The couple has openly admitted that the marriage is not an offshoot of a budding love but it is purely a ‘marriage of convenience’. Tehrunissa says: My family is very poor and we cannot afford dowry. My father is not keeping well. Today if my parents die, who will look after me? That’s why I married him. While Ali Hasan the groom married her as he needed someone to take care of him. He said: I had no one to look after me and I was facing a lot of difficulty in my day-to-day life. That’s why I married her. However, the villagers are not quite happy with this union, as they think that such a relationship is not acceptable in their society.

Muslim women in Somalia subverting the traditional ways of life

Somaliland women are challenging the rules of Islamic society and taking up independent working style to support themselves and their children. One visit to the market place in Hargeisa says it all. Trying to cope up with the daily needs, women are increasingly laying hands in different ventures and clothing business is the most popular one. Women emancipation in the capital has taken a U Turn after the fall of the nation’s dictatorial rule in the year 1991. Due to the sudden crisis in the economy of the nation, the men folks had no jobs and thus came the excellent opportunity for women community. Harowo reports A large chunk of women are running textile shops and earning enough to support their family. 38-year-old Amina Jama and five more women are working together and producing colorful cloths and they are getting good results. Some other women are working as vegetable vendors, selling fruits, opening tailoring shops and even beauty parlours. Shamis Barre, a member of the Humanitarian organization ‘CARE’ has helped a lot in grooming the Somali women in direct marketing skills. She further said that men are too proud to do jobs such as selling things and working in a tailor shop, but the Somali women are too practical to care for such trivial matters. Since the outbreak of the civil war, most of the men are unemployed and this has given the women a chance to stand on their own overthrowing the age-old tradition of Islam religion that women cannot take up any job.

Women’s Learning Partnership to launch an International campaign to mobilize Arab women’s right to nationality

Women in the Middle East are trying hard to be recognized since a long time now. Despite the conservative practices imposed by the radical groups, women are gearing up to take all the rigid challenges on their stride and they are applying various measures to safeguard their interest. Women in the Arab world had attained success to certain extent; nevertheless, there is a long journey ahead of them. To reform the aged-old policies and legislation that blocks the progress of women, several women rights organization are using some ‘basic techniques and well-though out strategies’ to break the shackles. Women in these countries do not have the rights to equal citizenship. Supposedly, if a Saudi woman is married to a non-Muslim man, their children will not be considered as a Saudi citizen. To ensure the citizenship rights of women in the Middle East nations, Women’s Learning Partnership is all set to launch a ‘seven country regional movement’ which is scheduled to kick start on the September 6. The sole aim of this campaign will be to work for the attainment of ‘Arab women’s right to nationality in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, and Syria’.

Tehran’s religious police crack down on ‘ill-dressed’ women Link:

Women in Tehran have once again come under heavy pressure of the Tehran Police to dress appropriately and in accordance with the rules laid down by the religion. In a crack down drive launched by the Police department, so far 64,000 women are already issued warnings because they are said to have dressed indecently. According to reports from the police force, some of the women have handed over a written statement promising to dress in the Islamic way. All these women were warned, mainly because during the summer most of them were seen sporting Capri pants, bright colored apparels, and not the traditional veil. Via: GULF DAILY

Paradise is for those who believe and do righteous deeds



I take refuge with Allaah from the accursed devil.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
Welcome to my blog and praise the Magnificent Lord as you enter: Allahu Akbar: Allah is the Greatest .
May the Peace and Blessing of Allah Azza wa Jal, our Lord Glorified and Praised be He, be upon our beloved  Prophet, his Family, and Companions.
Paradise is for those who believe and do righteous deeds.
وَكَأِيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ فَحَاسَبْنَـهَا حِسَاباً شَدِيداً وَعَذَّبْنَـهَا عَذَاباً نُّكْراً
(8. And many a town revolted against the command of its Lord and His Messengers; and We called it to a severe account, and We shall punish it with a horrible torment.)
 فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَـقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْراً
(9. So it tasted the evil result of its affair, and the consequence of its affair was loss.)
 أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذَاباً شَدِيداً فَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ يأُوْلِى الأَلْبَـبِ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ قَدْ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْراً
(10. Allah has prepared for them a severe torment. So have Taqwa of Allah, O men of understanding, those who believe! Allah has indeed sent down to you a Reminder.)
 رَّسُولاً يَتْلُو عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَـتِ اللَّهِ مُبَيِّنَـتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ مِنَ الظُّلُمَـتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَمَن يُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَـلِحاً يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّـتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الاٌّنْهَـرُ خَـلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَداً قَدْ أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ لَهُ رِزْقاً
(11. A Messenger, who recites to you the Ayat of Allah containing clear explanations, that He may take out those who believe and do righteous good deeds, from the darkness to the light. And whosoever believes in Allah and performs righteous deeds, He will admit him into Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever. Allah has indeed granted for him an excellent provision.)
Surah 65 At Talaq Verse 8-11
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah the Exalted threatens those who defy His commands, deny His Messengers and contradict His legislation, by informing them of the end that earlier nations met who did the same,
(And many a town revolted against the command of its Lord and His Messengers;) meaning, they rebelled, rejected and arrogantly refused to obey Allah and they would not follow His Messengers,
(and We called it to a severe account, and We shall punish it with a horrible torment.) meaning, horrendous and terrifying,
(So it tasted the evil result of its affair,) meaning, they tasted the evil consequences of defiance and they regretted their actions when regret does not avail,
(and the consequence of its affair was loss. And Allah has prepared for them a severe torment.) means, in the Hereafter, added to the torment that was sent down on them in this life. Allah the Exalted said, after mentioning what happened to the disbelieving nations,
(So have Taqwa of Allah, O men of understanding,) meaning, `O you who have sound understanding, do not be like them because if you do, you will suffer what they suffered, O people of comprehension,’
(who believe) meaning, in Allah and His Messengers,
(Allah has indeed sent down to you a Reminder.) meaning, this Qur’an. Allah also said,
(Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr and surely, We will preserve it.) (15:9)
Allah’s statement,
(A Messenger, who recites to you the Ayat of Allah containing clear explanations,) Some said that the Messenger is the subject of what is being sent [as a reminder] because the Messenger is the one that conveys the Dhikr. Ibn Jarir said that what is correct is that the Messenger explains the Dhikr. This is why Allah the Exalted said here,
(A Messenger, who recites to you the Ayat of Allah containing clear explanations,) meaning, plain and apparent. The statement of Allah;
(that He may take out those who believe and do righteous good deeds, from the darkness to the light.) Allah’s is like saying;
(A Book which We have revealed unto you in order that you might lead mankind out of darkness) (14:1), and,
(Allah is the Guardian of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light.) (2:257) meaning, out of the darkness of disbelief and ignorance into the light of faith and knowledge. Allah the Exalted called the revelation that He has sent down, light, on account of the guidance that it brings. Allah also called it Ruh, in that, it brings life to the hearts,
(And thus We have sent to you Ruh of our command. You knew not what is the book, nor what is faith But We have made it a light wherewith we guide whosoever of Our servants We will. And verily, you are indeed guiding to the straight path.) (42:52) Allah’s statement,
(And whosoever believes in Allah and performs righteous good deeds, He will admit him into Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever. Allah has indeed granted for him an excellent provision.) was explained several times before, and therefore, we do not need to repeat its explanation here. All the thanks and praises are due to Allah.

Important note to learn and Read Quran online
The Holy Quran is the word of Allah; it has been sent down to guide us and the guidance can online be gained through reading quran online. No other book can be like holy quran. As you come to the learn tajweed quran, Allah speaks to you and reading Arabic Quran is to hear Him, even to converse with Him, and to walk in His ways. So it is must for us as a Muslim to learn and do quran memorization by heart and the Quran tutor should teach the kids from quran qaida and then teaching quran online along with the quran tafseer and let the kids memorize quran so that we as Muslim could learn quran tajweed rules and then understand the quran tafseer  It is the encounter of life with the Life-giver. 'God - there is no god but He, the Ever-living, the Self-subsisting (by whom all subsist)  He has sent down upon you the Book with the Truth ... as a guidance unto mankind ...' (Al 'Imran 3: 2-3 learn quran recitation). So we should always remember the guidance of Allah and we should be listening to quran online along with obeying the commandments of Allah so let us join hands to lean the Koran and let our kids do quran memorization and learn the teaching of quran education online and apply them in there life there is kids quran lesson available online as well

Obeying the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, is obeying Allah, the Exalted



I take refuge with Allaah from the accursed devil.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
Welcome to my blog and praise the Magnificent Lord as you enter: Allahu Akbar: Allah is the Greatest .
May the Peace and Blessing of Allah Azza wa Jal, our Lord Glorified and Praised be He, be upon our beloved  Prophet, his Family, and Companions.
Obeying the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, is obeying Allah, the Exalted.
مَّنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَمَن تَوَلَّى فَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَـكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظاً
(80. He who obeys the Messenger, has indeed obeyed Allah, but he who turns away, then We have not sent you as a watcher over them.)
 وَيَقُولُونَ طَاعَةٌ فَإِذَا بَرَزُواْ مِنْ عِندِكَ بَيَّتَ طَآئِفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ غَيْرَ الَّذِى تَقُولُ وَاللَّهُ يَكْتُبُ مَا يُبَيِّتُونَ فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلاً
 (81. They say: “We are obedient,” but when they leave you, a section of them spends all night in planning other than what you say. But Allah records their nightly (plots). So turn aside from them (do not punish them), and put your trust in Allah. And Allah is Ever All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.)
Surah 4 An Nisa Verse 80-81
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah states that whoever obeys His servant and Messenger, Muhammad , obeys Allah; and whoever disobeys him, disobeys Allah. Verily, whatever the Messenger utters is not of his own desire, but a revelation inspired to him. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah said,
(Whoever obeys me, obeys Allah; and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah. Whoever obeys the Amir (leader, ruler), obeys me; and whoever disobeys the Amir, disobeys me.) This Hadith was recorded in the Two Sahihs. Allah’s statement,
(But he who turns away, then We have not sent you as a watcher over them.) means, do not worry about him. Your job is only to convey, and whoever obeys you, he will acquire happiness and success and you will gain a similar reward to that he earns. As for the one who turns away from you, he will gain failure and loss and you will not carry a burden because of what he does. A Hadith states,
(Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, will acquire guidance; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, will only harm himself.)
Allah said,
(They say: “We are obedient,”). Allah states that the hypocrites pretend to be loyal and obedient.
(but when they leave you), meaning, when they depart and are no longer with you,
(a section of them spends all night in planning other than what you say). They plot at night among themselves for other than what they pretend when they are with you. Allah said,
(But Allah records their nightly (plots).) meaning, He has full knowledge of their plots and records it through His command to His scribes, the angels who are responsible for recording the actions of the servants. This is a threat from Allah, stating that He knows what the hypocrites try to hide, their plotting in the night to defy the Messenger and oppose him, even though they pretend to be loyal and obedient to him. Allah will certainly punish them for this conduct. In a similar Ayah, Allah said,
(They (hypocrites) say: “We have believed in Allah and in the Messenger, and we obey,”) until the end of the Ayah. Allah’s statement,
(So turn aside from them) means, pardon them, be forbearing with them, do not punish them, do not expose them to the people and do not fear them.
(and put your trust in Allah. And Allah is Ever All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.) meaning, He is sufficient as Protector, Supporter and Helper for those who rely on Him and return to Him.

The word of an honored Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, of Allah, the Greatest



I take refuge with Allaah from the accursed devil.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
Welcome to my blog and praise the Magnificent Lord as you enter: Allahu Akbar: Allah is the Greatest .
May the Peace and Blessing of Allah Azza wa Jal, our Lord Glorified and Praised be He, be upon our beloved  Prophet, his Family, and Companions.
The word of an honored Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, of Allah, the Greatest
فَلاَ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ
(38. So, I swear by whatsoever you see,)
وَمَا لاَ تُبْصِرُونَ
(39. And by whatsoever you see not,)
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
 (40. That this is verily the word of an honored Messenger.)
 وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ قَلِيلاً مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ
 (41. It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe!)
- وَلاَ بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ قَلِيلاً مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
(42. Nor is it the word of a soothsayer, little is that you remember!)
 تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ
(43. This is the revelation sent down from the Lord of all that exists.)
Surah 69 Al Haaqqa Verse 38-43
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah swears by His creation, in which some of His signs can be seen in His creatures. These also indicate the perfection of His Names and Attributes. He then swears by the hidden things that they cannot see. This is an oath swearing that the Qur’an is His Speech, His inspiration and His revelation to His servant and Messenger, whom He chose to convey His Message, and the Messenger carried out this trust faithfully. So Allah says,
(So I swear by whatsoever you see, and by whatsoever you see not, that this is verily the word of an honored Messenger.) meaning, Muhammad . Allah gave this description to him, a description which carries the meaning of conveying, because the duty of a messenger is to convey from the sender. Therefore, Allah gave this description to the angelic Messenger in Surat At-Takwir, where he said,
(Verily, this is the Word of (this Qur’an brought by) a most honorable messenger. Owner of power (and high rank) with Allah, the Lord of the Throne. Obeyed and trustworthy.) (81:19-21) And here, it refers to Jibril. Then Allah says,
(and your companion is not a madman. ) (81:22) meaning, Muhammad .
(And indeed he saw him in the clear horizon.) (81:23) meaning, Muhammad saw Jibril in his true form in which Allah created him.
(And he is not Danin with the Unseen.) (81:24) meaning, suspicious.
(And it (the Qur’an) is not he word of the outcast Shaytan.) (81:25) This is similar to what is being said here.
(It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe! Nor is it the word of soothsayer, little is that you remember!) So in one instance Allah applies the term messenger to the angelic Messenger and in another instance He applies it to the human Messenger (Muhammad ). This is because both of them are conveying from Allah that which has been entrusted to them of Allah’s revelation and Speech. Thus, Allah says,
(This is the revelation sent down from the Lord of all that exists.)

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would have been punished if he forged a false saying



I take refuge with Allaah from the accursed devil.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
Welcome to my blog and praise the Magnificent Lord as you enter: Allahu Akbar: Allah is the Greatest .
May the Peace and Blessing of Allah Azza wa Jal, our Lord Glorified and Praised be He, be upon our beloved  Prophet, his Family, and Companions.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would have been punished if he forged a false saying.
وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الاٌّقَاوِيلِ
(44. And if he had forged a false saying concerning Us,)
لأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ
(45. We surely would have seized him by his right hand,)
 ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ
 (46. And then We certainly would have cut off Al-Watin from him,)
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَـجِزِينَ
 (47. And none of you could have prevented it from him.)
 وَإِنَّهُ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
 (48. And verily, this is a Reminder for those who have Taqwa.)
وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ
(49. And verily, We know that there are some among you that deny.)
وَإِنَّهُ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ
(50. And indeed it will be an anguish for the disbelievers.)
 وَإِنَّهُ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِينِ
 (51. And verily, it (this Qur’an) is an absolute truth with certainty.)
فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
(52. So, glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.)
Surah 69 Al Haaqqa Verse 44-52
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah says,
(And if he had forged a false saying concerning Us,) meaning, `if Muhammad forged something against Us, as they claim, and added or removed anything from the Message, or said anything from himself while attributing it to Us, then We would surely be swift in punishing him. And of course, Muhammad did not do any of this (as the disbelievers claimed).’ Thus, Allah says,
(We surely would have seized him by his right hand,) It has been said that this means, `We would seize him by the right hand because it is more stronger in grabbing.’
(And then We certainly would have cut off Al-Watin from him,) Ibn `Abbas said, “It (Al-Watin) refers to the artery of the heart, and it is the vein that is attached to the heart.” This has also been said by `Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Al-Hakim, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak, Muslim Al-Batin and Abu Sakhr Humayd bin Ziyad. Muhammad bin Ka`b said, “It (Al-Watin) is the heart, its blood, and whatever is near it.” Concerning Allah’s statement,
(And none of you could have prevented it from him.) means, `none of you would be able to come between Us and him if We wanted to do any of this to him.’ The meaning behind all of this is to say that he (Muhammad ) is truthful, righteous and guided because Allah determined what he is to convey from Him, and Allah helps him with fantastic miracles and definite proofs. Then Allah says,
(And verily, this (Qur’an) is a Reminder for those who have Taqwa.) meaning, the Qur’an. This is just as Allah says,
(Say: “It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and it (the Qur’an) is blindness for them.”) Then Allah says,
(And verily, We know that there are some among you that deny (this Qur’an). ) meaning, with this explanation and clarification, there will still be among you those who reject the Qur’an. Then Allah says,
(And indeed it (this Qur’an) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection).) Ibn Jarir said, “And verily this rejection will be anguish for the disbelievers on the Day of Judgement.” He (Ibn Jarir) also mentioned a similar statement from Qatadah. It is possible that the meaning of the pronoun (it) may also refer to the Qur’an, in which case the verse would mean that the Qur’an and belief in it are a cause of anguish for the disbelievers. This is as Allah says,
(Thus have We caused it (the denial of the Qur’an) to enter the hearts of the criminals. They will not believe in it.) (26:200,201) And Allah said,
(And a barrier will be set between them and that which they desire) (34:54). Therefore, Allah says here,
(And verily, it (this Qur’an) is an absolute truth with certainty.) meaning, the right and truthful news in which there is no doubt, suspicion or confusion. Then Allah says,
(So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.) meaning, He Who sent down this magnificent Qur’an. This is the end of the explanation (Tafsir) of Surat Al-Haqqah. And to Allah belong all praise and blessings.

 (34. Verily, (many) Messengers were denied before you, but with patience they bore the denial, and they were hurt, till Our help reached them, and none can alter the Words of Allah. Surely, there has reached you the information about the Messengers (before you).)
 وَإِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكَ إِعْرَاضُهُمْ فَإِن اسْتَطَعْتَ أَن تَبْتَغِىَ نَفَقاً فِى الاٌّرْضِ أَوْ سُلَّماً فِى السَّمَآءِ فَتَأْتِيَهُمْ بِـَايَةٍ وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللَّهُ لَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى الْهُدَى فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْجَـهِلِينَ
 (35. If their aversion is hard on you, then if you were able to seek a tunnel in the ground or a ladder to the sky, so that you may bring them a sign. And had Allah willed, He could have gathered them together upon true guidance, so be not you one of the ignorant.)
إِنَّمَا يَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ وَالْمَوْتَى يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ
 (36. It is only those who listen, that will respond, but as for the dead, Allah will raise them up, then to Him they will be returned.)
Surah 6 Al Anaam Verse 33-36
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah comforts the Prophet in his grief over his people’s denial and defiance of him,
(We know indeed the grief which their words cause you;) meaning, We know about their denial of you and your sadness and sorrow for them. Allah said in other Ayat,
(So destroy not yourself in sorrow for them.) [35:8], and
(It may be that you are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers.) [26:3], and,
(Perhaps, you, would kill yourself in grief, over their footsteps (for their turning away from you), because they believe not in this narration.) [18:6] Allah’s statement,
(it is not you that they deny, but it is the verses of Allah that the wrongdoers deny.) means, they do not accuse you of being a liar,
(but it is the Verses of Allah that the wrongdoers deny. ) It is only the truth that they reject and refuse. Muhammad bin Ishaq mentioned that Az-Zuhri said that Abu Jahl, Abu Sufyan Sakhr bin Harb and Al-Akhnas bin Shurayq once came to listen to the Prophet reciting the Qur’an at night, but these three men were not aware of the presence of each other. So they listened to the Prophet’s recitation until the morning, and then left. They met each other on their way back and each one of them asked the others, “What brought you” So they mentioned to each other the reason why they came. They vowed not to repeat this incident so that the young men of Quraysh would not hear of what they did and imitate them. On the second night, each one of the three came back thinking that the other two would not come because of the vows they made to each other. In the morning, they again met each other on their way back and criticized each other, vowing not to repeat what they did. On the third night, they again went to listen to the Prophet and in the morning they again vowed not to repeat this incident. During that day, Al-Akhnas bin Shurayq took his staff and went to Abu Sufyan bin Harb in his house saying, “O Abu Hanzalah! What is your opinion concerning what you heard from Muhammad.” Abu Sufyan said, “O Abu Tha`labah! By Allah, I have heard some things that I recognize and know their implications. I also heard some things whose meaning and implications were unknown to me.” Al-Akhnas said, “And I the same, by He Whom you swore by!” Al-Akhnas left Abu Sufyan and went to Abu Jahl and asked him, “O Abu Al-Hakam! What is your opinion about what you heard from Muhammad. ” Abu Jahl said, “We competed with Bani `Abd Manaf (the Prophet’s subtribe) and so we fed as they fed and gave away as they gave away. So, when we were neck and neck with them, just as two horses in a race, they said, `There is a Prophet from among us, to whom revelation from the heaven comes.’ So how can we ever beat them at that By Allah we will never believe in him or accept what he says.’ This is when Al-Akhnas left Abu Jahl and went away.” Allah’s statement,
(Verily, (many) Messengers were denied before you, but with patience they bore the denial, and they were hurt, till Our help reached them,) This comforts the Prophet’s concern for those who denied and rejected him. Allah also commands the Prophet to be patient, just as the mighty Messengers before him were. He also promised him victory, just as the previous Messengers were victorious and the good end was theirs, after the denial and harm their people placed on them. Then, victory came to them in this life, just as victory is theirs in the Hereafter. Allah said,
(and none can alter the Words of Allah.) This refers to His decision that victory in this life and the Hereafter is for His believing servants. Allah said in other Ayat,
(And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our servants, the Messengers. That they verily would be made triumphant. And that Our hosts, they verily would be the victors.) [37:171-173], and,
(Allah has decreed: “Verily! It is I and My Messengers who shall be the victorious.” Verily, Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.) [58:21] Allah said;
(Surely, there has reached you the information about the Messengers (before you).) who were given victory and prevailed over the people who rejected them. And you (O Muhammad ), have a good example in them. Allah said next,
(If their aversion is hard on you,) and you cannot be patient because of their aversion,
(then if you were able to seek a tunnel in the ground or a ladder to the sky…) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas commented, “If you were able to seek a tunnel and bring them an Ayah, or go up a ladder in the sky and bring a better Ayah than the one I (Allah) gave them, then do that.” Similar was reported from Qatadah, As-Suddi and others. Allah’s statement,
(And had Allah willed, He could have gathered them together upon true guidance, so be not you one of the ignorant.) is similar to His statement,
(And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed, all of them together) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas said about Allah’s statement,
(And had Allah willed, He could have gathered them together upon true guidance,) “The Messenger of Allah was eager that all people believe and be guided to follow him. Allah told him that only those whose happiness Allah has written in the first Dhikr will believe.” Allah’s statement,
(It is only those who listen, that will respond,) means, only those who hear the speech, comprehend and understand it, will accept your call, O Muhammad ! In another Ayah, Allah said;
(That it may give warning to him who is living, and that the Word may be justified against the disbelievers.) [36:70]. Allah’s statement,
(but as for the dead, Allah will raise them up, then to Him they will be returned.) refers to the disbelievers because their hearts are dead. Therefore, Allah resembled them to dead corpses as a way of mocking and belittling them, saying,
(but as for the dead (disbelievers), Allah will raise them up, then to Him they will be returned (for their recompense).)

The believing and unbelieving from the creation of the Jinns.
قُلْ أُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُواْ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْءَانَاً عَجَباً
(1. Say: “It has been revealed to me that a group of Jinn listened. They said: `Verily, we have heard a wonderful Recitation!’)
 يَهْدِى إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَـَامَنَّا بِهِ وَلَن نُّشرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَداً
 (2. `It guides to the right path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join anything with our Lord.’)
وَأَنَّهُ تَعَـلَى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَـحِبَةً وَلاَ وَلَداً
 (3. `And He, exalted be the Jadd of our Lord, has taken neither a wife nor a son.’)
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطاً
(4. `And that the foolish among us used to utter against Allah that which was an enormity in falsehood.’)
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ الإِنسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً
(5. `And verily, we thought that men and Jinn would not utter a lie against Allah.’)
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادوهُمْ رَهَقاً
 (6. `And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the males among the Jinn, but they increased them in Rahaq.’)
 وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّواْ كَمَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَداً
(7. `And they thought as you thought, that Allah will not send any Messenger.’)
Surah 72 Al Jinn Verse 1-7
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah commands His Messenger to inform his people that the Jinns listened to the Qur’an, believed in it, affirmed its truthfulness and adhered to it. So Allah says,
(Say: “It has been revealed to me that a group of Jinn listened. They said: `Verily, we have heard a wonderful Recitation! It guides to the right path”’) meaning, to what is correct and success.
(and we have believed therein, and we shall never join anything with our Lord.) This position (that they took) is similar to what Allah said,
(And when We sent towards you a group of the Jinns listening to the Qur’an.) (46:29) We have already presented the Hadiths that have been narrated concerning this, so there is no need to repeat them here. Concerning Allah’s statement,
(And He, exalted be the Jadd of our Lord,) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said concerning Allah’s statement,
(the Jadd of our Lord,) “This means, His actions, His commands and His power.” Ad-Dahhak reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said, “Allah’s Jadd is His blessings, His power and His favor upon His creation.” It has been reported from Mujahid and `Ikrimah that they said, “It (Jadd) is the magnificence of our Lord.” Qatadah said, “Exalted is His magnificence, His greatness and His command.” As-Suddi said, “Exalted is the command of our Lord.” It has been reported from Abu Ad-Darda’, Mujahid and Ibn Jurayj that they said, “Exalted is His remembrance (Dhikr).”
Allah says,
(He has taken neither a wife nor a son.) meaning, far exalted is He above taking a mate and having children. This means that when the Jinns accepted Islam and believed in the Qur’an they professed Allah’s magnificence above having taken a spouse and a child (or a son). Then they said,
(And that the foolish among us used to utter against Allah that which was an enormity in falsehood.) Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Qatadah and As-Suddi, all said,
(the foolish among us) “They were referring to Iblis.”
(that which was an enormity in falsehood.) As-Suddi reported from Abu Malik that he said, “This means a transgression.” Ibn Zayd said, “A great injustice.” The foolish (Safih) also carries the meaning of everyone in the category who claims that Allah has a spouse or a son. This is why Allah says here,
(And that the foolish among us used to utter) meaning,  The Jinns Affirmation that Allah does not have a Wife and Children Allah says,
(He has taken neither a wife nor a son.) meaning, far exalted is He above taking a mate and having children. This means that when the Jinns accepted Islam and believed in the Qur’an they professed Allah’s magnificence above having taken a spouse and a child (or a son). Then they said,
(And that the foolish among us used to utter against Allah that which was an enormity in falsehood.) Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Qatadah and As-Suddi, all said,
(the foolish among us) “They were referring to Iblis.”
(that which was an enormity in falsehood.) As-Suddi reported from Abu Malik that he said, “This means a transgression.” Ibn Zayd said, “A great injustice.” The foolish (Safih) also carries the meaning of everyone in the category who claims that Allah has a spouse or a son. This is why Allah says here,
(And that the foolish among us used to utter) meaning, before his acceptance of Islam.
(against Allah that which was an enormity in falsehood.) meaning, falsehood and a lie. Thus, Allah says,
(And verily, we thought that men and Jinn would not utter a lie against Allah.) meaning, `we did not think that humans and Jinns would join each other in lying about Allah by attributing a spouse and a son to Him. So when we heard this Qur’an we believed in it and we knew that they (Jinns and men) had been lying about Allah in this matter.’
Allah says,
(And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the males among the Jinn, but they increased them in Rahaq.) meaning, `we used to think that we had some virtuous status over mankind because they used to seek refuge with us whenever they (men) would settle in a valley or any place in the wilderness, the open country steppes and other places.’ This was the custom of the Arabs in the pre-Islamic days of ignorance. They used to seek refuge with the greatest Jinn of a particular place so that no harm or evil would afflict them. Like one would do if he entered into the land of his enemies, in the vicinity of a great and powerful man, he would seek the protection and guardianship of that man. So when the Jinns saw that the humans were seeking refuge with them due to their fear of them, they increased them in Rahaq which means fear, terror and fright. They did this so that the people would be more afraid of them and seek refuge with them even more. As Qatadah said concerning this Ayah,
(but they increased them in Rahaq.) means, “the Jinns were courageous and increased in insolence against them.” As-Suddi said, “A man used to set out with his family (on a journey) until he came to a piece of land where he would settle. Then he would say, `I seek refuge with the master (Jinn) of this valley from the Jinns, or that myself, my wealth, my child or my animals are harmed in it.”’ Qatadah said, “When they sought refuge with them instead of Allah, the Jinns would overcome them with harm because of that.” Ibn Abi Hatim recorded from `Ikrimah that he said, “The Jinns used to fear humans just like humans fear them, or even worse. So whenever humans would come to a valley the Jinns would flee. So the leader of the people would say, `We seek refuge with the leader of the inhabitants of this valley.’ So the Jinns said, `We see these people fleeing from us just like we flee from them.’ Thus, the Jinns started coming near the humans and afflicting them with insanity and madness.” Thus, Allah said,
(And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the males among the Jinn, but they increased them in Rahaq.) meaning, in sin. Abu `Aliyah, Ar-Rabi` and Zayd bin Aslam, all said,
(in Rahaq) “This means in fear.” Mujahid said, “The disbelievers would increase in transgression.” Concerning Allah’s statement,
(And they thought as you thought,) means, “the Jinns were courageous and increased in insolence against them.” As-Suddi said, “A man used to set out with his family (on a journey) until he came to a piece of land where he would settle. Then he would say, `I seek refuge with the master (Jinn) of this valley from the Jinns, or that myself, my wealth, my child or my animals are harmed in it.”’ Qatadah said, “When they sought refuge with them instead of Allah, the Jinns would overcome them with harm because of that.” Ibn Abi Hatim recorded from `Ikrimah that he said, “The Jinns used to fear humans just like humans fear them, or even worse. So whenever humans would come to a valley the Jinns would flee. So the leader of the people would say, `We seek refuge with the leader of the inhabitants of this valley.’ So the Jinns said, `We see these people fleeing from us just like we flee from them.’ Thus, the Jinns started coming near the humans and afflicting them with insanity and madness.” Thus, Allah said,
(And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the males among the Jinn, but they increased them in Rahaq.) meaning, in sin. Abu `Aliyah, Ar-Rabi` and Zayd bin Aslam, all said,
(in Rahaq) “This means in fear.” Mujahid said, “The disbelievers would increase in transgression.” Concerning Allah’s statement,
(And they thought as you thought, that Allah will not send any Messenger.) meaning, Allah would never send a Messenger after this long period of time. This was said by Al-Kalbi and Ibn Jarir.
