CH. 25 AL-FURQAN PT. 18 قف بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالسَّاعَةِ وَاعْتَدْنَا لِمَنْ كَذَّبَ Nay, they deny the Hour. 12 and for those who deny the Hour We have prepared a blazing fire. 2650 13. When it sees them from a place far-off, they will hear its بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا إِذَا رَأَتْهُمْ مِنْ مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدِ سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا raging and roaring. 2651 وَإِذَا الْقُوْا مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا مُقَرَّنِيْنَ And when they are thrown. 14 دَعَوْا هُنَالِكَ ثُبُورًان into a narrow place thereof, "chained together, they will pray there for destruction. 2652 11:107; 21:101; 67:8. 14:50. camel-drivers of Arabia become the owners of the palaces and treasures of the Caesars and the Chosroes and of the fertile plains and gardens of Syria and Iraq? The verse possesses a spiritual significance also. It means to say that worldly gardens wither and dry up for want of water and proper care, and treasures of wealth are used up and come to end, but the treasures of spiritual wealth which will be bestowed upon the Holy Prophet and his followers and the gardens of eternal bliss which will be given into their possession will be everlasting. The Garden of Islam itself will ever remain green. Heavenly Reformers will continue to arise from among Muslims who will make them understand and realise the great object for which man has been created. See next verse. 2650. Commentary: The verse continuing the theme of the previous verse purports to say that whereas the believers are decreed to achieve eminence and glory, a 2308 dreadful punishment is in store for disbelievers. Their punishment is impending; nay it is at their very doors; but they do not see it and therefore refuse to believe it. The word ac(the Hour) in the verse signifies the complete triumph of the cause of truth and the failure and frustration of disbelief. In fact the time of every Prophet has been called act in the Quran, as at that time the old order dies and from its ruins emerges a new one. 2651. Commentary: The verse means to say that the punishment which the disbelievers will receive will be overwhelming and all-embracing and in order to add to the bitterness of their pain and sense of humiliation and to make it complete and thorough all their organs will be made to feel it. In the present verse two organs that of sight and hearing are mentioned. 2652. Important Words: ✓ (destruction) is infinitive-noun
