www.bayyinah.tv www.linguisticmiracle.com

Ayah 1

Muhsin Khan
By the Mount;

Nouman Ali Khan


[I swear [Allah]] by the Mountain.

There are differences of opinion regarding what mountain


exactly Allah is swearing by in this ayah. Some scholars
hold it is just any mountain and some other scholars hold
that because the word ‘mountain’ in this ayah is definite, it
is referring to the mountain where Moses ‫ عليه السالم‬received
revelation from Allah.
‫[طُور‬toorun] is a large tall mountain

Ayah 2

Muhsin Khan
And by the Book Inscribed.

Nouman Ali Khan


[I swear [Allah]] by a book that is well documented/laid out/put
in lines.

The book being talked about in this ayah can either be


referring to the Quran or keeping with the sequence of the
ayaat it can be referring to the revelation Moses ‫عليه السالم‬
received.

Ayah 3

Muhsin Khan
In parchment unrolled.

Nouman Ali Khan


In parchment [thin & soft paper] spread out.

Ayah 4

Muhsin Khan
And by the Bait-ul-Ma'mur (the house over the heavens parable to the Ka'bah
at Makkah, continuously visited by the angels);

Nouman Ali Khan


[I swear [Allah]] by the house that is well populated.

Some scholars hold that this house that is being referred to


in this ayah is the Ka’bah. Some hold that this is talking
about the entire world as if it is one house that is populated.

Ayah 5

Muhsin Khan
And by the roof raised high (i.e. the heaven).

Nouman Ali Khan


[I swear [Allah]] by the elevated roof.

The scholars that hold that the world is the house that is
being referred to in the previous ayah and use this ayah as a
support because of the elevated roof [the sky] over the
earth.

Ayah 6

Muhsin Khan
And by the sea kept filled (or it will be fire kindled on the Day of
Resurrection).

Nouman Ali Khan


[I swear [Allah]] by the ocean that boils over.

‫[ َم ْس ُجور‬mas’joorun] comes from the verb ‫[ َس َجَر‬sajara]


which is intense boiling when the water rises because of the
boiling.

Ayah 7

Verily, the Torment of your Lord will surely come to pass,

Nouman Ali Khan

happen.

fire. They are engaged in risky business by playing around
with the Messenger ‫ صلّى اهلل عليه و سلّم‬and the message.

Enjoying in that which their Lord has bestowed on them, and (the fact that)

Muhsin Khan
And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in Faith, to them shall
We join their offspring, and We shall not decrease the reward of their deeds in
anything. Every person is a pledge for that which he has earned.

Nouman Ali Khan


And those who believed and their future generations followed
them with faith, We will join them together. We are not going to
give them less than they deserve in any of their deeds at all.
Every single person only in regards to what he/she earned is
being held in collateral.

‫[أَلَْت نَا‬alat’naa] comes from the verb ‫ت‬


َ َ‫[ أَل‬alata] which is ‘to
give someone less than they deserve’.

Ayah 22

Muhsin Khan
And We shall provide them with fruit and meat, such as they desire.

Nouman Ali Khan


And We are going to extend them further with fruits and meat
from all kinds of things they really crave.

Ayah 23

Muhsin Khan
There they shall pass from hand to hand a (wine) cup, free from any Laghw
(dirty, false, evil vague talk between them), and free from sin (because it will
be legal for them to drink).

Nouman Ali Khan


They are going to be having fun in it with cups [joking around
and taking each other’s cups and wrestling around] and there is
not going to be any nonsense/bad talk or anything that leads to
sin.

In this ayah Allah tells us that the believers will be joking


around and having fun, grabbing each other’s cups,
wrestling around but none of this joking around will lead
to bad evil talk and nobody will get hurt. Usually when we

joke around a lot in this life somebody ends up getting hurt


in the end. But that isn’t the case in Paradise.
