For what purpose is this number of the delegates of hell appointed?
As we have read in the above ayaat it is mentioned the Mighty God appointed 19 caretakers and custodians (or groups) in the hell. Besides we read the description of this number created a gossips between the polytheists and the unbelievers, a group of them totally laughed at it and a small number among them proved that it not difficult to conquer over them.
The ayat under discussion, the longest ayat of this sura gave them an answer and made obvious, more facts in this argument.
First it said: we did not appoint the masters of fire except the angels.
 รฆรณรฃรณร รรณรรณรกรบรครณร รรณรรบรรณรรรณ รรกรครธรณรรรถ ร
รถรกรธรณร รฃรณรกรณรรรถรรณรรฐ 
The powerful, influential angels of hell, the Quran confirms them as รรกรร and รรรร
rude and strict, such that before them, every sinner is weak and helpless.
Then it adds: we had chosen their number only to test the unbelievers.
รฆรณรฃรณร รรณรรณรกรบรครณร รรถรรธรณรรณรฅรตรฃรบ ร
รถรกรธรณร รรถรรบรครณรรฐ รกรธรถรกรธรณรรถรญรครณ รรณรรณรรตรฆร
This test was for two motivations: firstly that why they mocked for the number 19 which is selected and in the case if the other number were chosen they were going to ask the same question too.
Secondly they considered this number very less they used to tell by ridicule: we will bring ten people before every angel among them, to break their power.
While the angels of Glorious God are such that according to the holy Quran, some of them who were appointed to destroy the tribe of the prophet Lut alaihis salam. They up rooted their populated cities from the earth and caste them up till the sky and then smashed them back on the earth.
Again it adds: the aim (by revealing the number) was to bring certainty to the people of book (Jews and Christians).
รกรถรญรณรรบรรณรญรบรรถรครณ รรกรธรณรรถรญรครณ รรตรฆรรตรฆร รรกรบรรถรรณรรรณ
It is mentioned in a narration: a group of Jews asked a companion of prophet peace be upon him about the caretakers of the hell. He replied only Almighty God and his prophet are aware of it. At that same moment Jibril alaihis salam appeared and informed the prophet peace be upon him that:
รรณรกรณรญรบรฅรณร รรถรรบรรณรรณ รรณรรณรรณ (74:30
They are 19 angels or (19 groups of them) are appointed upon it.
And they did not criticised on this number here it is quite clear that this number co ordinates with the number mentioned in their books. And their belief upon the prophet peace be upon him increased. This caused the believers too to become more firm in their faith upon the prophet peace be upon him.
Hence in the next term it said:
รฆรณรญรณรรบรรณรรรณ รรกรธรณรรถรญรครณ รรฃรณรครตรฆร ร
รถรญรฃรณรรครฐร
Soon after mentioning these terms, turn back once again, stressed upon the three aims and said: the belief of the people of book, then the believers ,followed by the test of the unbelievers and the polytheists and said: The purpose was that the people of the book and the believers, not to bring any doubt in the reality of Quran. Those in whose heart is disease and the unbelievers let them say: what is the purpose of God by saying this kind of interpretation and what intention it has?
รฆรณรกรณร รญรณรรบรรณรรรณ รรกรธรณรรถรญรครณ รรตรฆรรตรฆร รรกรบรรถรรณรรรณ รฆรณรรกรบรฃรตรรบรฃรถรครตรฆรครณ รฆรณรกรถรญรณรรตรฆรกรณ รรกรธรณรรถรญรครณ รรถรญ รรตรกรตรฆรรถรฅรถรฃ รฃรธรณรรณรรฑ รฆรณรรกรบรรณรรรถรรตรฆรครณ รฃรณรรรณร รรณรรณรรรณ รรกรกรธรณรฅรต รรถรฅรณรรณร รฃรณรรณรกรฐร รรกรธรณรรถรญรครณ รรถรญ รรตรกรตรฆรรถรฅรถรฃ รฃรธรณรรณรรฑ
Those who have disease in their hearts, who are these people? A group of people expressed that they are hypocrites as in the Quran these terms are used for them. Hence in the ayat 10 of Sura e Baqra it is written in mentioning the hypocrites it adds: Al-Baqara (The Cow)
รรถรญ รรตรกรตรฆรรถรฅรถรฃ รฃรธรณรรณรรฑ รรณรรณรรรณรฅรตรฃรต รรกรกรธรฅรต รฃรณรรณรรรฐ รฆรณรกรณรฅรตรฃ รรณรรณรรรฑ รรณรกรถรญรฃรฑ รรถรฃรณร รรณรรครตรฆร รญรณรรบรรถรรตรฆรครณ (2:10
In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.
For this reason they believe that the above ayat is Madani as the group of hypocrites came into existence at the time of the power of Muslims in Medina not in the Mecca.
While investigating about the occasion of this term in the ayat of Quran it shows: this term is not only related to the hypocrites but it is applied to the unbelievers who had the enmity, doggedness and rebellion against the ayat of truth even often included the hypocrites too. For example in the ayat 49 of the Sura e Infal we read:
Anfal (The Spoils of War)
ร
รถรรบ รญรณรรตรฆรกรต รรกรบรฃรตรครณรรรถรรตรฆรครณ รฆรณรรกรธรณรรถรญรครณ รรถรญ รรตรกรตรฆรรถรฅรถรฃ รฃรธรณรรณรรฑ รรณรรธรณ รฅรณรรรตรกรร รรถรญรครตรฅรตรฃรบ รฆรณรฃรณรค รญรณรรณรฆรณรรธรณรกรบ รรณรกรณรฌ รรกรกรธรฅรถ รรณร
รถรครธรณ รรกรกรธรฅรณ รรณรรถรญรรฑ รรณรรถรญรฃรฑ (8:49
When the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was a disease (of disbelief) said: "These people (Muslims) are deceived by their religion." But whoever puts his trust in Allah, then surely, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
Then how the believers and the sick hearted unbelievers achieved he added: Similarly whom the God wishes misguides and guides, whom he wants.
รรณรรณรกรถรรณ รญรตรรถรกรธรต รรกรกรธรณรฅรต รฃรณรค รญรณรรณรร รฆรณรญรณรฅรบรรถรญ รฃรณรค รญรณรรณรร
The above terms clearly indicates that the intention and will of Benevolent God regarding the guidance of some and misguidance of others is not uncalculated. Those who are adamant, stubborn and ill hearted, they do not deserve other than misguidance and those who are submitted before God and believing they deserve this kind of guidance.
In the end of the ayat it said: The army of your Provider God nobody knows other than him. It is nothing but warning and reminding the mankind.
รฆรณรฃรณร รญรณรรบรกรณรฃรต รรตรครตรฆรรณ รรณรรธรถรรณ ร

รถรกรธรณร รรถรรบรรณรฌ รกรถรกรบรรณรรณรรถ (74:31
Therefore if the topic is about the 19 people of the hell caretakers it does not mean that the army of Supreme God is limited to this number. But the army of Sovereign God is large, to such extent that according to some narrations they filled the entire earth and the sky. Even there is no foot print existing in the world but an angel is glorifying the Magnificent God there.
The number of the army of Majestic God!
The presence of Exalted God and his elaborate power all over the world and his nature made such that he is heedless of every friend, helper and army. But still to exhibit his greatness to his creatures, to remind and warn them, he appointed a large army who are under his command all over the world.
In the Islamic narrations about the abundance, immensity and power of the Godโs army who are the executers of his commands in the whole world.
In the Islamic narrations about their enormity, hugeness and influence there many astonishing terms are included which are amazing to hear.
Here we make ourselves content by the words of amiral mominin Ali alaihis salam as the initial subject matter about the angels is very much lengthy, only we bring the translation same as it is: Then opened the skies above and filled them with various categories of angels.
Some of them are forever engaged in prostration and they do not perform ruku. Half bent while worshipping the Generous God.
Some are always in ruku ( Half bent while worshipping). They never get up.
Some of them are permanently worshipping standing and engaged in praising God. They never change their posture.
A group of them are constantly chanting, the praise of God and never get tired.
Sleep never prevails over them and forgetfulness never overcomes their mind.
Their bodies never get lazy. Ignorance and lack of memory never inflicts them. Another group of them are trusted guardians of his revelation. They constantly move to and fro and convey the message of Exalted God to the messengers.
Another group of them is the protector of his creation and the door keepers of the paradise.
Some of them, their foot is constantly immovable in the lower floors of the earth and their necks are passed from the highest skies. And the parts of their entity surpassed the dimensions of the earth. Their shoulders are ready to protect the pillars of the empyrean throne of Majestic God.
had a vast and elaborate meaning รฃรกห Therefore as we mentioned before, this term including the angels who possess the wisdom, sense, obedience and submission. And they hold most of the power of existing world.
No but consider the moon!

Definition
In the continuation of the discussion about those who rejects the prophecy of Muhammad peace be upon him the prophet of Islam and the refusal of the judgment day. In these ayaat it swears repeatedly and emphasised upon the issue of judgment day and the hell fire.
It said: I swear by moon, whatever they think, it is not similar to their thought.
รรณรกรธรณร รฆรณรรกรบรรณรฃรณรรถ (74:32
This word is usually used to reject the statement which is mentioned before. Here in the continuation of the previous ayaat about the idol worshippers who rejects the hell and its punishment and their mockery over the number of angels, the caretakers of hell.
The swearing upon the moon is for the reason that it is among the great divine signs, by its creation and its systematic rotation, its light and gorgeousness, its gradual changes which are the live calendar to signify the days of earth.
I swear by the night when it turns back.
รฆรณรรกรกรธรณรญรบรกรถ ร
รถรรบ รรณรรบรรณรรณ (74:33
I swear by the morning hours when the veil upon its face, sets aside.
รฆรณรรกร รธรตรรบรรถ ร
รถรรณร รรณรรบรรณรรณ (74:34
In fact these three vows are connected to each other and complete the meaning of each other as we know: The vividness of moon in the night and at the day time the moonlight is under the outshine of the sunlight and it completely does not have any visibility.
Though the night is tranquillizing and noiseless, it is the time for the silent prayers of the adorers of the truthful God. But this dark night is attractive when it reaches its end and moving forward towards the morning and it is the end of the dawn. The sunrise which is the end of the dark night it is most beautiful and elegant which creates in every man delight and joyfulness and be plunging them in brightness and purity.
These three promises coordinate with the Quranโs light of guidance and surpassing the darkness and polytheism and the advent of the bright morning of the matchlessness of God.
After mentioning the promises proceeds towards the matter for which the promise was expressed. And said: certainly the dreadful incidents of the judgement day, the hell and the angels of punishment in the hell are among the important issues.
ร
รถรครธรณรฅรณร รกรณร
รถรรบรรณรฌ รรกรบรรตรรณรรถ (74:35
Then it adds: the aim of the creating the hell is not to take the revenge but to warn the people by this source.
รครณรรถรญรรฐร รกรธรถรกรบรรณรรณรรถ (74:36
To warn everybody to make them aware of the punishment, this is waiting for the unbelievers, sinners and enemies of the truthful God.
Finally to stress more upon the matter it adds: This warning is not for the specific group it is for the entire humanity. For those among you who want to leave behind everybody in this struggle. And proceed forward towards the good deeds and obedience to the commands of the most Strong God. As well as those who want to lay behind this caravan.

Why you became the dwellers of hell?
In the continuation of the discussion of the previous ayat about hell and the hell dwellers, in this ayat it is added: Everybody is taken as mortgage for his own deeds.
รรตรกรธรต รครณรรบรรฒ รรถรฃรณร รรณรรณรรณรรบ รรณรฅรถรญรครณรรฑ (74:38)
รรฅรค Is taken from the term รรณรฅรถรญรครณรรฑ
It means mortgage, it is the security which is taken in the place of the loan. As if the entire existence of man is mortgaged in his performance of deeds and duties. When he performs it he is liberated else he is remained in the circle of imprisonment.
Therefore soon it express: Except the people of yameen( whose deed file is in the their right hand) are free from this bonds of imprisonment.
ร
รถรกรธรณร รรณร รบรรณรรรณ รรกรบรญรณรฃรถรญรครถ (74:39
They in the shadow of faith and virtues deeds tear away the handcuffs and chains of imprisonment and enter the heaven without giving any account of their deeds.
? รรณรรบรรณรรรณ รรกรบรญรณรฃรถรญรครถ Here what does it means, the term
Who are these people? There many discussions.
Some explained, they are the people whose deed file is given in their right hand.
Some express that they are the believers who never committed any sin.
But as it is drawn out from the various ayaat of the noble Quran and its witnesses it has the same first definition. They are the people with right believe and virtues practices. In the case if they have some meagre sins it is over shadowed by their meritorious conducts. By enjoining
Hud (The Prophet Hud)
ร
รถรครธรณ รรกรบรรณรรณรครณรรรถ รญรตรรบรฅรถรรบรครณ รรกรรธรณรรญรธรถรรณรรรถ (11:114
Verily, good deeds drive away evil deeds.
To the righteous actions which covers their evil deeds, they enter the heaven without giving any account for their performance or their account which is very unproblematic, simple and convenient as it is mentioned in the ayat 7 of Sura e Inshiqaq.
Al-Inshiqaq (The Splitting Asunder)
รรณรรณรฃรธรณร รฃรณรครบ รรตรฆรรถรญรณ รรถรรณรรรณรฅรต รรถรญรณรฃรถรญรครถรฅรถ (84:7
Then, as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,
รรณรรณรฆรบรรณ รญรตรรณรรรณรรต รรถรรณรรรฐร รญรณรรถรญรรฐร (84:8
He will be judged with an easy account
Khartabi the famous interpreter of the sunni sect, in the description of this ayat quoted from imam Baqir alaihis salam ,who said: I and my shia( followers) are โasโhab yamin (the people whose deed file is given in their right hand) and the one who is enemy of Ahl baith ( the family of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him) he is imprisoned by his own deeds.
Then defines a corner of the life of the people of right hand (asโhab yamin those whose deed file is given in their right hand) as well as the people who are contradictory to them and added: They are in the great gardens of heaven, abundant in the bounties and ask each other...
รรถรญ รรณรครธรณรรรฒ รญรณรรณรรณรรรกรตรฆรครณ (74:40
about the sinners
รรณรครถ รรกรบรฃรตรรบรรถรฃรถรญรครณ (74:41
They say: what had sent you in the hell?
รฃรณร รรณรกรณรรณรรตรฃรบ รรถรญ รรณรรณรรณ (74:42
From these ayat it is evidently noticeable that the link between the heavenly people and the hell dwellers is not totally disconnected. The heavenly people can observe from their place the condition of the hell dwellers and can converse with them.
Now we will see, what the criminals utter in the reply of the asโhab yamin (those whose deed file is given in their right hand). In this matter they confess their four sins and scream:
First they state: we were not among those who were praying the namaz.
รรณรรกรตรฆร รกรณรฃรบ รครณรรต รฃรถรครณ รรกรบรฃรตร รณรกรธรถรญรครณ (74:43
If we were used to pray the namaz, In that case may be the namaz would bring in our hearts the remembrance of God, prevent us from indecent acts, stop us denying the truth and guide us to the right path towards the Compassionate God.
The other reason is that: we were not charitable and do not wanted to give food to the poor people.
รฆรณรกรณรฃรบ รครณรรต รครตรรบรรถรฃรต รรกรบรฃรถรรบรรถรญรครณ (74:44
Itโaam miskeenโ Giving food to the poor means to help the needy but outwardly it means every kind of help to the deprived and needy including food, clothing, housing and many other needs.
As the interpreters illustrated: Itโaam miskeenโ is to grant obligatory zakat , as to give the recommended charity( zakat e Mustahabbi) does not causes one to enter the hell. This ayat once again stress upon the matter that rule of zakat payment descended in the Mecca.
Besides that: we continuously used to socialise with the ill character people and encourage and support their wrongdoings.
รฆรณรรตรครธรณร รครณรรตรฆรรต รฃรณรรณ รรกรบรรณรรรถรรถรญรครณ (74:45
Every voice which was raised from any corner of the world and every gathering conducted for the circulation of the falsehood when we get informed by them we used to give them recognition and affirm them. We were always assisted and accompany them according to their manner. We were admitting their statements and we used to sign for their consent when they refused any thing. And we were enjoying with the acts of those who ridiculed and laughed at the truth.
รครณรรตรฆรรต
In fact the above term means, to enter and move in water or to get soiled in the other matters but in the noble Quran this term is frequently used to enter in the vain and baseless matters.
This term has wide meaning it includes those who enter in the gathering of people who mock the signs of the Merciful God and propagate against Islam or promote the innovators who sets the wrong trends or mocked the pious to support the vulgar people. Or they quote the sins which they (evil doers) conducted for the enjoyment or express honour for them. Same way they attended the get-togethers of back biting, defamation and the deceiving recreations. But in the ayat under discussion it means the most gathering conducted for the weakening of the religion, scornfully mocking the holy places, promoting the polytheism, blasphemy and impiety.
Subsequently it adds: we constantly rejected the reality of the judgement day.
รฆรณรรตรครธรณร รครตรรณรรธรถรรต รรถรญรณรฆรบรฃรถ รรกรรธรถรญรครถ (74:46
Till the moment when our death reached us.
รรณรรธรณรฌ รรณรรณรรครณร รรกรบรญรณรรถรญรครต (74:47
It is obvious that by rejecting and condemning the resurrection, the day of calculation of deeds and rewards, he shook and trembled down, all the divine and moral values and as a result encouraged the man to be brave in committing the sins. And kept the obstacles on the purpose of good action, specifically his manner gets constant till the end of the life.
Any way from these ayaat it is understandable that at the first place the unbelievers as they are bounded to follow the roots of the religion (usul e din) and restricted to the branches of the religion (furu e din) too. It reveals that these four regulations like namaz, zakat, to keep oneself away to attend the gathering of ill character people and believe in the judgment day had an important role in the guidance and the education of the human being. Like this manner the hell is not the place of those who are the true worshippers of Almighty God (namaz guzar), the payers of zakat (charity), those who abandon the immoral deeds and believe in the Judgment day.
Certainly namaz is worshipping the One and Only God and without faith in him is impossible. Therefore this recital of namaz is a symbol of faith in Benevolent God. And about submission before his command, it can be said: this four regulations starts from the believe in singleness of God and ends in the Judgment day. It includes the relation of man with the creator, the people and himself.
It is famous among the interpreters that the term รญรณรรถรญรครต yaqeen is death which is certain for the believer and unbeliever. The man may have doubts in anything but in the matter of death he is fully assured about it. In the ayat 99 of Hijr too we read:
Al-Hijr (The Rocky Tract)
รฆรณรรรบรรตรรบ รรณรรธรณรรณ รรณรรธรณรฌ รญรณรรบรรถรญรณรรณ รรกรบรญรณรรถรญรครต (15:99
And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death).
But some define the term yaqeen as to obtain the awareness of the truth after the death, the period of Limbo Barzaq (the indeterminate spiritual state after death, before the judgement day is called barzaq) and the day of resurrection. But it coordinates with the first definition.
รรณรฃรณร รรณรครรณรรตรฅรตรฃรบ รรณรรณรรรณรรต รรกรรธรณรรรถรรถรญรครณ (74:48
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
In the last ayat under the discussion it indicated the ill fated end of the hell dwellers and said: Hence the intercession of the mediators does not gives them any freedom, they have to remain forever in the divine chastisement.
รรณรฃรณร รรณรครรณรรตรฅรตรฃรบ รรณรรณรรรณรรต รรกรรธรณรรรถรรถรญรครณ (74:48
The intercession of the Day of Judgment
According to the ayat under discussion and similarly according to some other ayaat of Quran Majeed it is clearly understood that on the judgment day, the intercessors are of numerous classes (their circle of mediators is different). Through the total narrations from the resources of shia and sunni sects as their number is very much high.
1 The first intercessor is the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him himself. As in another hadees we read, the messenger of God peace be upon him said: I am the first intercessor towards the heaven.
2 All the prophets of Exalted God are the intercessors of the Day of Judgment. For this reason in another narration from the prophet peace be upon him is quoted who said: The prophets are the intercessors of the people who sincerely give witness about the oneness of God and give them freedom from the hell.
3 The angels are the intercessors of the judgment day likewise it is quoted from the prophet of the Benevolent God who said: On that day the permission is given to the angels, prophets and martyrs to become the intercessors for the people.
4 & 5 The fourteen infallibles and the Shia are the intercessors. As told by hazrat Ali alaihis salam: we have granted the status of intercessors even our associates and friends and established for them the position of intercessors.
6 & 7 the scholars, the learned and likewise the martyrs in the way of Majestic God are the intercessors. Hence in a Hadis of the noble prophet of God peace be upon him we read: On the resurrection day from the first to the last messengers of the Merciful God are intercessors, then the scholars and after that the martyrs.
Even in the narration from the prophet peace be upon him is quoted that: the intercession of a martyr is accepted in the favour of seventy members of his family.
And in another Hadis where late scholar allama Majlisi quoted in Baharul Anwar: The intercession and mediation of a single martyr is accepted in the favour of seventy thousand people.
The digits seventy or seventy thousand, both the numbers represent the majority of the people; there is not any contradiction between them.
8 The Noble Quran too at the judgment day plead as a mediator before the Sovereign God. As hazrat Ali alaihis salam said: Be aware, the Quran is the intercessor whose intercession will be accepted by the Protector God.
9 About the people who spend their life in the way of Islam, as we read in a narration from the noble prophet Muhammad peace be upon him: When a man reaches the age of ninety (in the way of right believe) the Holy God forgives his past and future sins and his intercession for his family will be accepted.
10 The devotion and prayers of the man too will do the intercession for him, as in a narration it is quoted from the prophet peace be upon him: Fasting and the dignified Quran do the intercession for people on the judgment day.
11 In some of the descriptions, it is informed that the good deeds like the amanat (the money and thing or things kept as trusteeship to the person and for its protection that person tried hard) on the judgment day that amanat do the intercession for him.
12 The most interesting thing as told by the most narrations, Merciful God himself made the intercession for the sinners. Therefore in another narration from the prophet peace be upon him we read: On the resurrection day the prophets, angels and the believers do the intercession. And the God declares: Now it is my turn to do the intercession for you.
Once again we repeat that the intercession has its own conditions and limitations without that it is impossible. As the ayaat under the discussion, its meaning obviously mentioned about some culprits for whom the intercession of the entire intercessors is of no use. The most important than that is person must have that capability too. The intercession only is not helpful for the person.( his deeds and dedications are counted too).
รรณรฃรณร รกรณรฅรตรฃรบ รรณรครถ รรกรรธรณรรบรรถรรณรรถ รฃรตรรบรรถรรถรญรครณ (74:49

Definition:
They run away from the truth in such a way that the zebra runaway in the awe of lion!
In the continuation of the discussion about the fate of the criminals and the hell dwellers mentioned in the previous ayaat. The ayaat under discussion indicates the reflections and the awe of this adamant and obstinate group who refuse to hear every kind of admonition (nasihat) and advice told to them in very clear manner.
First it said: why they turn their faces from a good deal of warnings and cautions
รรณรฃรณร รกรณรฅรตรฃรบ รรณรครถ รรกรรธรณรรบรรถรรณรรถ รฃรตรรบรรถรรถรญรครณ (74:49
Why they run away from the curative medicine, the gracious Quran? Why they reject the treatment of sympathetic doctor? Is not it a matter of surprise?
As if they are the zebras, who run away in fright,
รรตรฃรตรรฑ รฃรธรตรรบรรณรครรถรรณรรฑ (74:50
Escapes from the lion or the hunter
รรณรรธรณรรบ รฃรถรค รรณรรบรฆรณรรณรรฒ (74:51
Which means donkey, รรฃรร Is the plural of รรฃร
It is one of the names of the lion. รรณรรบรฆรณรรณรรฒ
Some say it is a hunter or archer but the first term is appropriate. It is very famous that the zebra is astonishingly frightful of the lion. Even when it hear the yell of lion he overwhelms so much with awe that it crazily began to run hither thither specifically when the lion come close to their herd. They disperse in fright and began to run on every direction, creates amaze in every spectator. Basically this animal is in awe with every wild animal where as the lion is its first blood thirsty enemy.
Any way this ayat is very expressive term for the polytheists who run away from the spiritual nourishing ayaat of the Quran. They are compared to the zebra which lacks both wisdom and being wild runs away from everything.
But with all that ignorance and idiocy they are to a large extent overconfident that each of them expects to be given a particular letter from the Majestic God.

It is similar to the statement which is mentioned in the in ayat 93 Sura e Asra:
รฆรณรกรณรค รครธรตรรบรฃรถรครณ รกรถรรตรรถรญรธรถรรณ รรณรรธรณรฌ รรตรครณรรธรถรกรณ รรณรกรณรญรบรครณร รรถรรณรรรฐร รครธรณรรบรรณรรตรฅรต รรตรกรบ รรตรรบรรณรรครณ รรณรรธรถรญ รฅรณรกรบ รรตรครรต ร
รณรกรรธรณ รรณรรณรรฐร รรธรณรรตรฆรกรรฐ (17:93
And [even then], we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down to us a book we may read."
Or the ayat of 124 Sura e Anaโam
รรณรรกรตรฆรรบ รกรณรค รครธรตรรบรฃรถรครณ รรณรรธรณรฌ รครตรรบรรณรฌ รฃรถรรบรกรณ รฃรณร รรตรฆรรถรญรณ รรตรรตรกรต รรกรกรธรฅรถ (6:124
They say, "Never will we believe until we are given like that which was given to the messengers of Allah.โ
Like this way each one of them were expecting to be the ulul azm messengers of God.
(They were Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), 'isa (Jesus) and Muhammad. The best and most noble of the Prophets are those Messengers with firm determination (Ulul 'Azm) and to descend a special letter from the Mighty God
In the case if such thing was descending upon them but it was not sure they were going to bring the faith.
In some of the narrations it is revealed that Abu Jahal and a group of people of Quraish said: O Muhammad we will not bring faith upon you till we receive a divine letter from the heaven and its headlines must be such that: From the creator and provider of the universe an order is solemnized that bring faith in such a person son of such a person (prophet peace be upon him).
And hence in the next ayat it is added: it is not like that what they say.
The descent of the book and other such matters was only an excuse( of polytheists).
In fact they do not fear the judgement day.
รรณรกรธรณร รรณรก รกรณร รญรณรรณรรรตรฆรครณ รรกรบรรรถรรณรรณ (74:53
If they were in fear of the punishment of hereafter they would not have to bring so many excuses, they would not deny the messenger of God and must not severely mock the divine signs and the angels who appointed to punish the sinners.
Here the effects of the faith on judgement day is getting apparent that brings piety and make the man to avoid the sins and clean the inner self from various misdeeds.
Truly it must be said that believe in the occurrence of resurrection day, its rewards and its punishments gives the man a new personality. It can change a proud, immoral, self-centred and cruel man into a pious, responsible, just and unselfish person.
Then once again it stressed that it is not, as they think about the noble Quran.
The Quran is a warner and the reminder
ร
รถรครธรณรฅรต รรณรรบรรถรรณรรฑ (74:54
Anybody who desires will take guidance from it.
รรณรฃรณรค รรณรร รรณรรณรรณรฅรต (74:55
The noble Quran confirmed the right path. And provided the eyes to sight and the sunlight for man so that he can observe what is before him.
Taking admonitions from it is not possible without the will of Majestic God,
รฆรณรฃรณร รญรณรรบรรตรรตรฆรครณ ร
รถรกรธรณร รรณรค รญรณรรณรร รรกรกรธรณรฅรต
Other than this: the phrase รรณรฃรณรค รรณรร รรณรรณรรณรฅรต which is mentioned may be it creates the false impression that every act is connected to the will of man. In every way mans will is independent. This ayat remove this mistake tells the human being while he is independent and free is connected to the divine verdict. The verdict which rule over the complete existence of man and the entire universe, in other words the human will also depends upon the divine wish any time it can snatch away from him.
Thirdly it said: They will not bring faith at any cost but if the Merciful God wills, compels them .And we know the Great God never compels to bring faith or to commit blasphemy.
At the end of the ayat it said: he is worthy of fear and adequate for forgiveness.
รฅรตรฆรณ รรณรฅรบรกรต รรกรรธรณรรบรฆรณรฌ รฆรณรรณรฅรบรกรต รรกรบรฃรณรรบรรถรรณรรถ (74:56
It is laudable to fear his punishment and abstain to bring any partner for him and it is praiseworthy to be hopeful for his forgiveness and mercy.
Hence in narration from imam Sadiq alaihis salam we read in the definition of this ayat he said: The Compassionate God says: I am worthy of faithfulness (avoid committing sin), my slave (human being) must not bring partner for me. I am capable to send my slave to the heaven when he refuses to bring any partner for me.
O Lord, the guardian of faith! Bring us among the pious people.
O Sovereign Lord! Until your capability is not granted to us, your protector hands does not hold us, we will not reach any where. Grant us this blessing.
Our Protector Lord! The trap is severe, the path is complicated and intricate, the devil is ever ready to lure and seduce. Without your help it is impossible to travel in this path, help us.
Ameen O Provider of the universe
