Sehemu ya kwanza iliangazia kweli kuu tatu za imani ya Kiislamu: umoja wa Mwenyezi Mungu, Muumbaji wa kila kitu; neema ambayo Yeye peke yake huitoa; na kwamba Yeye ndiye pekee anayewaruzuku viumbe vyake wote. Katika sehemu hii ya pili, sūrah inamwelekea Mtume, ikimfariji kwa sababu kukataliwa kwa ujumbe wake na watu wake pamoja na tuhuma zao za uongo za kwamba ni mwongo kumemsababishia maumivu makubwa. Inasisitiza kwamba mambo yote yako mikononi mwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Pia inawahutubia sisi sote, ikithibitisha kwamba ahadi ya Mwenyezi Mungu ni ahadi ya kweli, na inatuonya dhidi ya hila za Shetani ambazo lengo lake ni kutupotosha tusiitambue kweli kuu zilizokwisha elezwa. Shetani, adui wetu aliyejitangaza, anachotaka ni kutuongoza hadi Jahannamu na adhabu yake. Inatuonyesha aina za malipo yanayowasubiri waumini na makafiri katika maisha ya Akhera. Hatimaye inamwamuru Mtume asisumbuke kwa yale yatakayotokea kwao. Imani na kukataa vyote viko mikononi mwa Mwenyezi Mungu, na Yeye anajua yote wanayoyafanya watu.

The first section highlighted three major truths of the Islamic faith: the oneness of God, the Creator of all; the grace that He alone bestows; and that He is the only One who provides sustenance for all His creation. In this second section, the sūrah addresses the Prophet, comforting him because his people’s rejection of his message and their false accusations of his lying caused him much pain. It stresses that all matters are in God’s hand. It also addresses us all, confirming that God’s promise is a true promise and warning us against Satan’s schemes which aim to divert us from recognizing the major truths already outlined. What Satan, our avowed enemy, wants is to lead us to hell and its torment. It shows us the types of requital that await the believers and unbelievers in the life to come. Finally it enjoins the Prophet not to worry about what might happen to them. Both belief and rejection are in God’s hand, and He knows all that people do.

Anwani ya kwanza inaelekezwa kwa Mtume ﷺ: "Ikiwa wanakukadhibisha, basi Mitume kabla yako nao walikadhibishwa. Na kwa Mwenyezi Mungu ndiko kunakorejea mambo yote." (Aya ya 4) Pamoja na kwamba ukweli huu wote unatambulika kwa urahisi na kwa uwazi, huna haja ya kuhofia kwamba wanakukadhibisha. Jambo hilo hilo lilitokea kwa Mitume waliotangulia.

The first address is aimed at the Prophet: “If they accuse you of lying, other messengers, who had gone before you, were similarly accused. It is to God that all things return.” (Verse 4) With all these truths easily and clearly recognizable, you need not worry that they accuse you of lying. The same thing happened to earlier messengers.

Mambo yote hatimaye yarejea kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, ambaye huamua kila mwisho kwa jinsi apendavyo.

All matters eventually return to God who determines every end the way He pleases.

Kisha hotuba inaelekezwa kwa watu wote kwa ujumla:

Then the address is made general, to all people:

Enyi watu! Ahadi ya Mwenyezi Mungu ni ya kweli kabisa. Basi maisha ya dunia hii ya sasa yasikudanganye, wala mawazo ya udanganyifu kuhusu Mwenyezi Mungu yasikudanganye. Shetani ni adui yenu, basi mtendeeni kama adui. Yeye huwaita tu wafuasi wake ili wawe miongoni mwa watu wa Moto unaowaka. (Aya 5-6)

People! God’s promise is true indeed. So do not let the life of the present world delude you, and do not let deceptive thoughts about God delude you. Satan is your enemy, so treat him as an enemy. He only calls on his followers so that they will be among those destined for the blazing fire. (Verses 5-6)

Ahadi ya Mungu ni ya kweli: hakuna shaka kwamba itatimia; ni ukweli usiokosa; ni haki. Hakuna kitu kinachoweza kulifanya lipotee, lipoteze mwelekeo wake, au libadilike.

God’s promise is true: there is no doubt that it will come; it is a reality that will not fail; it is the truth. Nothing can cause it to disappear, lose its way or change.

Hata hivyo, maisha haya ya sasa yanaweza kuwadanganya watu, kama vile Shetani anavyoweza. Kwa hiyo, usiruhusu chochote kikushinde: "Wala usidanganywe na maisha ya dunia hii, na ujue vyema yote wanayoyafanya." (8)

Nevertheless this present life can delude people, as can Satan. Therefore, do not let anything get the better of you: “do not let the life of the present world delude you, and do full knowledge of all that they do. (8)

"...usikubali mawazo ya udanganyifu kuhusu Mwenyezi Mungu kukudanganya." (Aya ya 5) Shetani ametangaza uadui wake kwako, na kwamba kamwe hatakuwa chochote isipokuwa adui yako. Kwa hiyo, "mtendee kama adui." (Aya ya 6) Usifanye urafiki naye, usisikilize ushauri wake, usifuate nyayo zake, kwa kuwa hakuna mtu mwenye akili timamu atakayefuata nyayo za adui yake.

Hii inafuatiwa na maelezo ya kile kinachowafanya watu wapotee, asili ya kazi ya Shetani, na mlango ambao uovu wote hupitia. Inaonyesha njia inayowapoteza watu na sababu yake, na kwa nini mtu anapoenda mbali kwenye njia hiyo, hawezi kurudi nyuma.

This is followed by an explanation of what makes people go astray, the nature of Satan’s work, the door through which all evil flows. It shows the route that takes people astray and why, when a person goes far along it, he cannot turn back:

Je, yule ambaye matendo yake maovu yanamvutia hata akayaona kuwa mema? Basi Mwenyezi Mungu humpoteza yule anayetaka [kupotea], na humwongoza yule anayetaka [kuongoka]. Kwa hiyo, usijiangamize kwa huzuni juu yao. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu anajua vyema yote wanayoyafanya. (Aya ya 8)

How about the one whose evil deeds seem alluring to him so as to regard them as good? God lets go astray him that wills [to go astray], just as He guides him that wills [to be guided]. Therefore, do not waste yourself sorrowing for them. God has full knowledge of all that they do. (Verse 8)

"Vipi kuhusu yule ambaye matendo yake maovu yanamvutia hadi kuyaona kuwa mema?" Hii ndiyo funguo ya uovu wote: Shetani huwafanya watu waone matendo maovu kuwa ya haki, nao watajivunia kwa yale wanayoyafanya. Mtu wa namna hii hatapitia kazi yake ili kutambua lililo sahihi au pale alipokosea, kwa sababu anajiona kuwa hawezi kukosea. Amezama sana katika kujipendeza nafsi yake hata hawazi kabisa kujikosoa. Ieleweke kwamba yeye hapendi kabisa kuwajibishwa kwa wengine. Hairuhusu mtu yeyote kumhoji juu ya chochote anachokifanya, kwa sababu anaona ni jema, na hivyo yuko juu ya kukosolewa. Hii ndiyo laana mbaya zaidi ambayo Shetani humwekea mwanadamu, na inaweza kufananishwa na nira anayoitia shingoni mwake, inayomzamisha mbali katika upotevu na matokeo yake yasiyoepukika.

“How about the one whose evil deeds seem alluring to him so as to regard them as good?” This is the key to all evil: Satan makes evil deeds seem fair to people, and they will then admire themselves for what they do. Such a person will not review his work to identify what is right or where he has gone wrong, because he feels he cannot go wrong. He is so preoccupied with self-admiration that he does not give a thought to self-criticism. Needless to say, he likes accountability to others much less. He does not permit anyone to question him about anything he does, because he feels it is good and, therefore, above criticism. This is the worst curse Satan invokes on man, and can be likened to a yoke he puts around his neck taking him far into error and its inevitable results.

Mtu anayefuata mwongozo wa Mwenyezi Mungu ni mtu makini, mwenye tahadhari na macho. Anajua kwamba hisia hubadilika, kwamba udhaifu unaweza kuingia moyoni mwa mtu, na kwamba kuanguka kwa muda mfupi kunaweza kutokea. Kwa hiyo, daima anatazama kazi yake mwenyewe, akiwa mwangalifu asije akakubali kishawishi cha Shetani, na akimwomba Mungu msaada. Hii ndiyo hasa tofauti kati ya haki na batili, mafanikio na kushindwa. Ni jambo dogo la kisaikolojia ambalo Qur'ani inalieleza kwa maneno machache yenye ufupi: "Je, vipi yule ambaye matendo yake maovu yanamvutia hata akayaona kuwa mema?" (Aya ya 8)
