Al-Hadid (Chuma)

Al-Hadid (Chuma) - Katika Kivuli cha Qur'ani | Quran Course

Siku ile utakapowaona waumini wote, wanaume kwa wanawake, nuru yao ikienea kwa kasi mbele yao na upande wao wa kulia, [watambiwe]: "Habari njema kwenu leo ni kwamba mtadumu milele katika mabustani yanayopita mito ya maji. Huu ndio ushindi mkubwa." Siku hiyo wanafiki, wanaume kwa wanawake, watawaambia waumini: "Tungojeeni! Tupatie mwanga kidogo wa nuru yenu!" Watambiwe: "Rudini nyuma mkatafute nuru nyingine." Ukuta wenye lango utawekwa baina yao: ndani yake kutakuwa na rehema, na nje yake kutakuwa na adhabu. [Wale walio nje] watawaita [wale walio ndani]: "Je, hatukuwa pamoja nanyi?" Watajibu: "Ndiyo, lakini mliijaribu nafsi zenu, mkasita, mkatilia shaka, na matumaini ya uongo yakakudanganyeni hadi amri ya Mwenyezi Mungu ikatimia, na hakika mawazo yenu ya udanganyifu kuhusu Mwenyezi Mungu yakawadanganya. Leo hakuna fidia itakayokubaliwa kutoka kwenu wala kutoka kwa makafiri. Moto ndio utakuwa makao yenu: ndio mahali penu panapostahili; na mahali pabaya kiasi gani pa kuishia!" (Aya 12-15)

“Cto the day when you see all believers, men and women, with their light spreading rapidly before them and to their right, [they will be told], ‘The good news for you today is that you shall for ever abide in gardens through which running waters flow. This is indeed the supreme triumph.’ On that day the hypocrites, men and women, will say to the believers, ‘Wait for us! Let us have a ray of your light!" They will be told: ‘Turn back and seek some other light. "A wall with a gate will be raised between them: within it will be mercy, and outside will be suffering. [Those without] will call out to those [within], ‘Were we not with you?" They will reply, ‘Yes, but you allowed yourselves to be led into temptation, you wavered, you doubted, and you were deceived by false hopes until God’s command came to pass, and indeed you let your deceptive thoughts about God delude you. Today no ransom will be accepted from you or from the unbelievers. The fire shall be your home: it is where you belong; and how evil a destination!” (Verses 12-15)

Katika kuthibitisha ukweli mkuu wa imani katika nyoyo za watu, sura hii inafuata mkondo wa kuvutia, unaofanana na sura za Makkah katika kuunganisha athari nyingi zinazoteka nyoyo na hisia. Mwanzo wake hasa unagusa mchanganyiko wa maelezo yenye msukumo mkubwa, ukiwasilisha sifa kadhaa za Mungu zinazosisitiza dhana ya Kiislamu kumhusu Yeye. Hii inajumuisha mwaliko wa hila lakini wenye mvuto wa kujitoa kabisa kwa Mungu, kama matokeo ya kuelewa maana halisi ya umoja Wake, udhibiti Wake kamili wa ulimwengu, ukweli kwamba kila kitu hatimaye hurejea Kwake, ujuzi Wake wa yale yaliyomo katika nyoyo za watu, na ukweli kwamba viumbe vyote vinamnyenyekea na kutukuza utukufu Wake: "Kila kilichomo mbinguni na ardhini kinatukuza utukufu usio na mipaka wa Mungu. Yeye ndiye Mwenye nguvu, Mwenye hekima. Ufalme wa mbingu na ardhi ni Wake. Anatoa uhai na kuleta mauti; na Yeye ana uwezo juu ya kila kitu. Yeye ndiye wa Kwanza na wa Mwisho, Aliye dhahiri na Aliye fichika. Anajua kila kitu kikamilifu. Ndiye aliyeumba mbingu na ardhi katika siku sita, kisha akatawala juu ya kiti cha enzi. Anajua kinachoingia ardhini na kinachotoka humo; kinachoshuka kutoka mbinguni na kinachopanda kwenda huko. Yuko pamoja nanyi popote mlipo; na Mungu anaona kila mnachotenda. Ufalme wa mbingu na ardhi ni Wake. Kila kitu kinarejea kwa Mungu. Anaufanya usiku uingie mchana, na mchana uingie usiku; na Anajua kikamilifu yaliyomo katika nyoyo za watu." (Aya 1-6)

In establishing the great truth of faith in peoples hearts the surah follows an inspiring course, akin to Makkan surahs in aligning a host of influences that captivate hearts and feelings. Its opening in particular strikes a combination of highly inspiring notes, presenting a number of God’s attributes that emphasize the Islamic concept of Him. This includes a subtle but captivating invitation to dedicate oneself totally to God as a result of understanding the true meaning of His oneness, His total control of the universe, the fact that everything eventually returns to Him, His knowledge of what people harbour in their hearts and the fact that all beings submit to Him and extol His glory: “Everything in the heavens and earth extols God's limitless glory. He is the Almighty, the Wise. His is the dominion over the heavens and the earth. He grants life and causes death; and He has power over all things. He is the First and the Last, the Outer and the Inner. He has full knowledge of all things. It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days and established Himself on the throne. He knows all that goes into the earth and all that comes out of it; all that descends from the skies and all that ascends to them. He is with you wherever you may be; and God sees all that you do. His is the dominion over the heavens and the earth. Everything goes back to God. He causes the night to pass into the day, and the day to pass into the night; and He has full knowledge of what is in people's hearts.” (Verses 1-6)
