CH. 27 AN-NAML PT. 20 mountains that thou thinkest to وَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِيَ the 89. And thou seest تَمُرُّ مَر السَّحَابِ صُنْعَ اللهِ الَّذِي أَتْقَنَ be firmly fixed passing away like the passing away of the clouds the handiwork of Allah Who has made everything perfect. Verily, He knows full well what you do. 2871 كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِنَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا وَهُمْ Whoever does a good deed. 90 مِنْ فَزَع يَوْمَبِذٍا مِنُوْنَ shall have a better reward than that, and such will be secure from terror that day. 281 2872 وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِالسَّيْئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ And those who do evil. 91 b shall be thrown down on their فِي النَّارِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ faces into the Fire; and it will be تَعْمَلُونَ said to them, '‘Are you not rewarded for what you have been doing?'2872A إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ رَبِّ هَذِهِ الْبَلْدَةِ Say, “I am commanded only. 92 to serve the Lord of this city a4:41; 6:161;28:85. b26:95. 30:44; 106:4. 2871. Commentary: At the advent of the Holy Prophet old ideas and institutions that seemed to have been firmly rooted like mountains, melted and vanished away like the passing of clouds. Human history fails to cite an instance of such a mighty revolution brought about in so short a time in every sphere of men's ideas and actions as was wrought by the great and noble Prophet of Islam. The word (mountains) may equally refer to the great and firmly established Roman and Persian Empires which were the scattered like chaff before irresistible victorious Muslim armies. 2872. Commentary: Those who believed in the Holy Prophet and did righteous deeds had a good reward and became immune from all fear and apprehension about the future. And the burning of heart, as says the next verse, was the lot of the disbelievers and evildoers. These verses may also apply to the condition of believers and 2424 disbelievers in the life after death. 2872A. Important Words: For (thrown down) see 26:95.
