Commentary on the Koran: Surah 41 (No. Q041)

Pickthall Translation; ESV used throughout unless otherwise noted.

Introduction

The Surah is the second of the series of seven Surahs known as Ha Mim from the opening letters.

The term Fusilat or “They are expounded” comes from the text in 41:3 as the second verse. The text refers to the exposition of the Scriptures as a lecture in Arabic for people who have knowledge and thus assumes prior knowledge of the faith.

Like Surah 40 “The Believers” above it is a warning to the idolaters at Becca and a call to the study of the Scriptures and to repentance and obedience so that the people may be granted their place in the First Resurrection and warned of the dangers of the Second Death in the Second Resurrection.

The Arabs are warned here of the thunderbolts as we saw from the previous Surahs on Surah 11 “Hud”, Surah 13 “The Thunder” and Surah 15 “Al Hijr” above that destroyed the A’ad and Thamud and which will ultimately destroy Amalek and the subsequent Arabs due to the unbelief and idolatry.

The theme of the seven “Ha Mim” will be expounded as we progress and summarised in the Seventh of the sequence Surah 46 in which we see the calling of the faithful and a reference is made to the Children of Israel, and a reference to the Scriptures given to Moses and the Children of Israel and a summation of the works of the prophets (and reference to Hud is allegedly made) and of the Scriptures given to the later prophets and revealed to the Gentiles for which the word djinn is sometimes used as clever or biblically knowledgeable non Arabs.

1Chronicles 16:34 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

Isaiah 6:9 And he said, "Go, and say to this people: "'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.'

Romans 11:8 as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day."

2Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away.

They cannot be converted because they have not been called through the Holy Spirit or the Ahmad and given to Messiah under baptism and the laying on of hands for the Holy Spirit.

41.6. Say (unto them O Muhammad): I am only a mortal like you. It is inspired in me that your God is One God, therefor take the straight path unto Him and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe unto the idolaters,

41.7. Who give not the poor-due, and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter.

41.8. Lo! as for those who believe and do good works, for them is a reward enduring.

Refer to Isaiah 46:9 at ayat 30.1 Commentary on the Koran: Surah 30 (No. Q030).

Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Psalm 145:15-16 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. ¹⁶You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing.

41.11. Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke, and said unto it and unto the earth: Come both of you, willingly or loth. They said: We come, obedient.

Genesis 1:6-10 And God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." ⁷And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. ⁸And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. ⁹And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. ¹⁰God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

41.12. Then He ordained them seven heavens in two Days and inspired in each heaven its mandate; and We decked the nether heaven with lamps, and rendered it inviolable. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Knower.

From FAQs in Islam (No. 055), the terms are generic. The NT term refers to the classifications of the basic Atmosphere, Solar and Galactic structure of the Earth and the heavenly structure of the Throne of God in the “sides of the North.” The seven classifications of the Koran are developments of these making distinction between the Atmospheres, inner and outer space, the Solar System, the Galaxy and so on.

Genesis 1:16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.

Job 38:5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?

41.13. But if they turn away, then say: I warn you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt (which fell of old upon the tribes) of A'ad and Thamud;

41.14. When their messengers came unto them from before them and behind them, saying: Worship none but Allah! they said: If our Lord had willed, He surely would have sent down angels (unto us), so lo! we are disbelievers in that wherewith ye have been sent.

41.15. As for A'ad, they were arrogant in the land without right, and they said: Who is mightier than us in power? Could they not see that Allah Who created them, He was mightier than them in power? And they denied Our revelations.

41.16. Therefor We let loose on them a raging wind in evil days, that We might make them taste the torment of disgrace in the life of the world. And verily the doom of the Hereafter will be more shameful, and they will not be helped.

41.17. And as for Thamud, We gave them guidance, but they preferred blindness to the guidance, so the bolt of the doom of humiliation overtook them because of what they used to earn.

41.18. And We delivered those who believed and used to keep their duty to Allah.

Surah 69 at ayats 6 and 7 states:

And as for A'ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind, ⁷Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm-trees.

It is believed that the folk of Thamud were visited by a loud thunder strike which was followed by a massive catastrophic earthquake which buried them in their houses and their buildings.

To the tribes of A'ad and Thamud were sent messengers by God who warned them to repent and mend their ways and worship the One True God only. They were offered guidance but they preferred the ways of this world. They reaped what their deeds deserved and suffered calamity and destruction which could have been avoided.
Those who heeded the warnings were delivered by the Almighty God. These aspects have been discussed in Surah 11, Surah 13 and Surah 15 above in much more detail.

41.19. And (make mention of) the day when the enemies of Allah are gathered unto the Fire, they are driven on

41.20. Till, when they reach it, their ears and their eyes and their skins testify against them as to what they used to do.

41.21. And they say unto their skins: Why testify ye against us? They say: Allah hath given us speech Who giveth speech to all things, and Who created you at the first, and unto Whom ye are returned.

[A direct reference to Proverbs 30:4 and the answer in 30:5. The name of the creator is Eloah, (or Elahh or Allah) the One True God.]

41.22. Ye did not hide yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you, but ye deemed that Allah knew not much of what ye did.

41.23. That, your thought which ye did think about your Lord, hath ruined you; and ye find yourselves (this day) among the lost.

41.24. And though they are resigned, yet the Fire is still their home; and if they ask for favour, yet they are not of those unto whom favour can be shown.

41.25. And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Lo! they were ever losers.

41.26. Those who disbelieve say: Heed not this Qur'an, and drown the hearing of it; haply ye may conquer.

41.27. But verily We shall cause those who disbelieve to taste an awful doom, and verily We shall requite them the worst of what they used to do.

41.28. That is the reward of Allah's enemies: the Fire. Therein is their immortal home, payment forasmuch as they denied Our revelations.

41.29. And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! Show us those who beguiled us of the jinn and humankind. We will place them underneath our feet that they may be among the nethermost.

The jinn here refer to the fallen Host. Later it refers to the gentiles.

41.33. And who is better in speech than him who prayeth unto his Lord and doeth right, and saith: Lo! I am of those who are muslims (surrender unto Him).
