Bu sūraning ushbu so‘nggi qismi bo‘lib, avval Yaratuvchining yagonaligiga dalolat qiluvchi bir qator Allohning koinotdagi qonunlarini ko‘rsatdi. So‘ngra Allohning elchilarni yuborish qonunini ko‘rsatdi: ular mo‘minlar jamoasining birligini va ularning yagona imonini tasdiqlovchi xabarni targ‘ib qilish uchun yuborilgan. Endi sūra Oxirat soati va uning alomatlari manzarasini beradi. Bu yerda Allohga sherik keltirganlarning taqdirini, shuningdek, o‘sha uydirma sheriklarning taqdirini ko‘ramiz. God butun olamning Rabbi sifatida namoyon bo‘ladi, U butun koinot ishlarini boshqaradi. Shundan so‘ng ikki hukm keladi: birinchisi yerning vorisi kim bo‘lishini belgilovchi qoidani o‘rnatadi, ikkinchisi esa God barcha olamlarga ato etgan rahmatini, ya’ni so‘nggi Elchisi Muhammad ﷺni yuborishi orqali ko‘rsatadi.

This is the last passage of this sūrah which showed us first a number of God’s universal laws that testify to the oneness of the Creator. It then showed us God’s law in sending messengers to advocate a message testifying to the unity of the community of believers and their single faith. Now the sūrah gives us a scene of the Last Hour and its signs. We see here the destiny of those who associate partners with God as well as the destiny of those alleged partners. God is seen as the Lord of all who conducts the affairs of the entire universe. Following this, we have two statements: the first establishes the rule that governs who inherits the earth, while the second shows God’s grace bestowed on all worlds in the form of sending His final Messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Shu o'rinda Payg'ambarga kofirlarni o'z taqdirlariga qoldirish buyuriladi, ularning taqdiri esa Alloh tomonidan belgilanadi. Payg'ambar ﷺ ularning qarshiligi va masxaralariga, shuningdek, Hisob kuni shunchalik yaqin ekanligiga qaramay, bemaza lazzatlarga berilib ketganlariga qarshi turish uchun Allohdan yordam so'raydi.

At this point, the Prophet is ordered to leave the unbelievers alone to face their destiny which will be determined by God. The Prophet seeks God’s help to face their opposition and ridicule, as well as their indulgence in idle pleasures when the Day of Reckoning is so near.

Barcha Xudo elchilarining izdoshlari bir ummatga mansub bo‘lib, ular bir xil e’tiqod va bir xil aqidalarni baham ko‘radilar. Bu ummatning asosi Xudoning yagonaligiga bo‘lgan ishonchdir, uni butun olam qonunlari tasdiqlaydi. Bu barcha elchilar targ‘ib qilgan, eng birinchi xabardan tortib oxirgi va so‘nggi xabargacha o‘zgarmay qolgan markaziy e’tiqoddir. Yangi xabarlar berilgan sari, shu markaziy e’tiqod asosida o‘rnatilishi lozim bo‘lgan hayot tartibiga ayrim tafsilotlar qo‘shilib borgan. Bu qo‘shimchalar har bir ummatning va har bir yangi avlodning imkoniyatlari hamda rivojlanish darajasiga mos kelgan.

The followers of all God’s messengers belong to one community, sharing the same faith and the same beliefs. The basis on which this community is built is the belief in God’s oneness, which is testified to by universal laws. It is the central, unchanged belief advocated by all messengers, right from the very beginning to the last and final message. As new messages were given, certain details were added to the code of living that should be established on the basis of this central belief. These additions suited the abilities and development of each community and each new generation.

Ular insoniy tajribaning ortib borayotgan boyligiga javob berdilar, bu esa yangi avlodlarga yangi turdagi qonunchilikni bajarish imkonini beradi, ularning ortib borayotgan ehtiyojlarini qondiradi va ularning ijtimoiy hamda moddiy taraqqiyotiga mos keladi.

They responded to the increased richness of human experience which makes new generations able to fulfil new types of legislation, meeting their increased needs and responding to their social and material advancement.

Garchi barcha payg'ambarlarning izdoshlari yagona ummatni tashkil etsa-da va barcha ilohiy xabarlar bir asosga ega bo'lsa-da, o'sha izdoshlar o'zlarini guruhlarga bo'lib yuborishdi. Har bir guruh o'zi uchun bir bo'lakni olib, ketib qoldi, shu tufayli ular orasida bahs-munozaralar qo'zg'aldi va natijada bo'linish hamda dushmanlikka olib keldi.

Despite the fact that the followers of all messengers constitute a single community, and despite the fact that all divine messages share the same basis, those followers divided themselves into factions. Each group took a portion and went away, allowing controversy to stir between them, and thus leading to division and hostility.

Haqiqatan ham, bu bitta payg'ambarning izdoshlari orasida ro'y bergan: ularning ba'zilari, hammasi birgalikda e'tiqod qilgan din nomidan boshqalarni o'ldirishga shoshilgan.

Indeed this happened among the followers of a single messenger, with some eager to kill others in the name of the faith, which they all shared.

Keyin bizga Qiyomat kunining manzarasi ko‘rsatiladi, uning yaqinlashganini bildiruvchi alomatdan boshlanadi. Bu alomat Ya’juj va Ma’juj uchun darvozalarning ochilishidir.

We are then presented with a scene of the Day of Resurrection, starting with a sign that signals its approach. This sign is the opening of the gates for Gog and Magog:

Yajuj va Majujga yo'l ochilib, ular har bir tepalikdan oqib tushganda, va haqiqiy va'da yaqinlashganda, kofirlarning ko'zlari dahshatdan qotib qoladi. Ular: «Voy bizning holimizga! Biz bundan g'aflatda edik», deb aytadilar.

When Gog and Magog are let loose and swarm down from every corner, when the true promise draws close [to its fulfilment], staring in horror shall be the eyes of the unbelievers, [and they will exclaim:] ‘Oh, woe to us! Of this we were indeed heedless.

"Albatta, biz zolim bo‘ldik."` (96-97-oyatlar)

We have assuredly done wrong.’ (Verses 96-97)

Sūrah 18, "Al-Kahf" (The Cave) dagi Zulqarnayn haqidagi hikoya va uning Yajuj va Majuj bilan bog'liq ishorasi haqida muhokama qilganimizda, aytgan edikki, oxirat haqidagi haqiqiy va'da, Tatarlar davlatlar va imperiyalarni vayron qilish uchun sharq tomon yurish qilganda, o'z amalga oshishiga allaqachon yaqinlashgan bo'lishi mumkin. Darhaqiqat, Payg'ambarning o'zi davrida Qur'oni karim aniq bayon etadi: "Soat yaqinlashdi". ({Soat yaqinlashdi, oy yorildi.} 54:1) Shunga qaramay, uning yaqinlashishi qachon sodir bo'lishini aniq belgilamaydi. Alloh huzurida vaqt bizning kunlar, oylar va yillarni hisoblashimizdan butunlay farq qiladi.

When we discussed the account given in Sūrah 18, The Cave, of Dhu’l-Qarnayn and its reference to Gog and Magog, we said that the true promise of the hereafter may have already drawn close to its fulfilment when the Tartars swarmed eastwards to destroy states and empires. Indeed at the time of the Prophet himself, the Qur’ān states clearly: “The Last Hour has drawn close.” (54: 1) Nevertheless, its drawing close does not specify a particular time when it will actually take place. To God, time is totally different from our own calculation of days, months and years.

Aynan shu kun kelganda nima bo‘lishini tasvirlash va uni insonlarga tanish bo‘lgan bir lavha bilan tanishtirish ko‘zda tutilgan. Bu Ye’juj va Ma’juj ozod qilinib, har tomondan tez harakatdagi tasvirda to‘planib kelishi sahnasidir. Qur’on ko‘pincha insonga tanish tushunchalardan foydalanadi va ularni oxirat sahnalarini chizish uchun yuksaltiradi.

What is intended here is to describe what happens on that day when it actually arrives, and to introduce it with a miniature scene of what is familiar to human beings. This is the scene of Gog and Magog being let loose, and their swarming down from every corner in a fast moving image. The Qur’ān often uses notions that are familiar to man and elevates these to draw scenes of the hereafter.

Koinot va barcha jonzotlarning oxirini kuchli tasvirlagan sura endi yerning vorisi kim bo‘lishini belgilovchi ilohiy qonunni ochiq bayon qiladi. Oxir-oqibatda yerning egalari Allohning solih bandalari bo‘ladi. Note: the rules require "God" rather than "Allah", so the correct rendering is: Koinot va barcha jonzotlarning oxirini kuchli tasvirlagan sura endi yerning vorisi kim bo‘lishini belgilovchi ilohiy qonunni ochiq bayon qiladi. Oxir-oqibatda yerning egalari Xudoning solih bandalari bo‘ladi.

Having drawn a strong image showing the end of the universe and all living creatures, the sūrah now makes clear the divine law that determines who inherits the earth. In the end it is God’s righteous servants who will be the masters of the earth.

Biz Zabur kitobida, Tavrotdan (Muso alayhissalomga berilgan Eslatmadan) keyin shunday yozdik: "Yer merosini Mening solih bandalarim meros qilib oladilar." (21:105)

The two scenes are interlinked: “We wrote in the Psalms, after the Reminder [given to Moses] that ‘the righteous among My servants shall inherit the earth.’” (Verse 105)

Arabcha matnda bu oyat ikki xil o'qilishi mumkin. Birinchisiga ko'ra, Zabur Dovud (alayhissalom)ga xos berilgan muayyan kitoblardir. Bu holda "eslatma" so'zi Zabur'dan oldin nozil bo'lgan Tavrotga ishora qiladi. Ikkinchi o'qilishga ko'ra, "zabur" so'zi nozil qilingan har bir kitobni ifodalovchi umumiy tavsif bo'lib, u Lavhi mahfuzda saqlangan asl kitobning bir qismidir. Bu holda "eslatma" so'zi aynan shu Lavhga ishora qiladi. Shunday ekan, bu Lavh to'liq nusxa va barcha ilohiy qonunlar murojaat qiladigan yakuniy manba hisoblanadi.

As it is given in Arabic, this verse may be read in two ways. The first considers the Psalms as certain scriptures given in particular to the Prophet David (peace be upon him). In this case, the reminder’ is a reference to the Torah which was revealed earlier than the Psalms. The other reading makes of the term zabūr a description of every revealed book, which is a portion of the original book recorded in the guarded Tablet, which in this case would be what the word ‘reminder’ refers to. This Tablet, thus, represents the complete version and the final authority to which all divine laws refer.

Shunday bo'lsa-da, "Zikrdan keyin Zabur'da yozdik" degan bayon bu yerda Xudo yer yuzini merosga olish borasida amalga oshirgan qat'iy qonunni tushuntirish uchun keltirilgan. Bu shuni anglatadiki: "Mening bandalarimdan solihlar yer yuzini meros qilib oladilar." Lekin bu meros nimani anglatadi va Xudoning bandalari orasida solihlar kimlar?

Be that as it may, the statement, ‘We wrote in the Psalms, after the Reminder,’ is made here to explain the established rule God has put into operation concerning the succession to the earth. This means that ‘the righteous among My servants shall inherit the earth.’ But what does this inheritance entail, and who are the righteous among God’s servants?

Alloh O‘zining so‘nggi Elchisini butun insoniyatga Uning rahmatining namunasi sifatida yubordi.

God has sent His last Messenger as a manifestation of His grace to all mankind.

U'ni qo'lidan ushlab, unga ilohiy hidoyatni ko'rsatadi. Bunday hidoyatdan faqat uni qabul qilishga tayyor bo'lganlargina foyda oladi, ammo Allohning inoyati mo'minlarga ham, kofirlarga ham baravar ato etiladi.

He takes them by the hand to show them divine guidance. It is only those who are ready to receive such guidance that benefit by it, but God’s grace is bestowed on believers and unbelievers alike.

Payg'ambar Muhammad ﷺ orqali bizga berilgan hayot tartibi insoniyatning barcha farzandlari baxtini ta'minlaydigan va inson erisha oladigan eng oliy kamolotga olib boradigan tartibdir. Muhammad ﷺ xabari insoniyatga uning to'liq aqliy yetuklik darajasiga erishgan bir paytda berildi. Shuning uchun u barcha avlodlarning barcha aql egalari uchun ochiq bo'lgan kitobdir. U inson hayotining o'zgarmas asoslarini o'z ichiga oladi va o'zgaruvchan ehtiyojlarga javob berishga tayyordir; bu ehtiyojlarni insonni yaratgan, o'z yaratiqlarini yaxshi biladigan Zot bilan birgina biladi. U eng mehribon va barcha narsadan xabardordir.

The code of living given to us through the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is one that ensures the happiness f all mankind, and which will lead to the highest level of perfection humanity can attain. Muhammad’s message was given to mankind at a time when it attained its full mental maturity. Hence, it is a book open to all minds across all generations. It includes the unchangeable fundamentals of human life, and it is ready to meet changing needs that are known only to the One who created man, and who knows His creation well. He is most kind and aware of all things.

Ushbu kitob doimiy qonunning tamoyillari va asosiy tuzilmasini bayon etadi. Bu qonun doimo yangilanib turadigan inson hayoti uchun mo‘ljallangan. Hayot rivojlanib borar ekan, insonlarning o‘zaro munosabatlarini tartibga solish uchun zarur bo‘lgan batafsil qoidalarni chiqarish vazifasi ularning o‘ziga topshiriladi. Shuningdek, doimiy qonunning tamoyillariga zid kelmagan holda, turli vaziyatlari va sharoitlariga ko‘ra amalga oshirish usullari va vositalarini belgilash ham insonlarning zimmasidadir.

This book sets out the principles and the framework of a permanent code for an ever-renewing human life, leaving to human beings the task of deducing detailed rules necessary for organizing their relations as life progresses. It is also up to human beings to determine the methods and the means of implementation, according to their different situations and circumstances, without conflict with the principles of the permanent code.

Ushbu sifatning ahamiyatini ta'kidlagandan so'ng, sura Alloh tomonidan O'z Elchisiga berilgan buyruqni bayon etadi. U haqiqatni inkor etuvchilar bilan yuzma-yuz kelishi va ularning uning sa'y-harakatlarini masxara qilishlariga qarshi turishi kerak.

Having highlighted this aspect of grace, the sūrah states an order given by God to His Messenger. He is to confront those who deny the truth and ridicule his efforts.

U shunday ayon etiladiki, u o‘z xabarining mohiyatini butun insoniyatga rahmat va marhamat keltiradigan xabar sifatida belgilashi kerak: «Ayt: menga vahiy qilindiki, sizning Xudoyingiz yagona yagona Xudodir: Shunday ekan, o‘zingizni Unga topshirasizmi?» (108-oyat)

He is to identify the essence of his message as one which brings grace and mercy to all mankind: “Say: It has been revealed to me that your God is the One and only God: will you, then, surrender yourselves to Him?” (Verse 108)

Bu Islom xabarining eng muhim ne'matidir. Aynan Allohning mutlaq yagonaligiga bo'lgan imon insoniyatni jaholatga asoslangan afsonalar, mantiqsiz butparastlik va xurofotlar og'irligidan xalos etadi. U hayotni mustahkam asosga qo'yadi, uni barcha mavjudotning yagona qonunlariga, aniq va izchil tartibga bog'laydi va unda havoyi xohish yoki o'tkinchi istaklarga o'rin qoldirmaydi. Bu imon har bir insonning boshini baland tutib yura olishini ta'minlaydi. Bosh faqat mavjud bo'lgan hamma narsaga mutlaq hukmronlik qiluvchi Allohning oldida egiladi.

This is the most essential element of grace in the message of Islam. It is the belief in God’s absolute oneness that saves humanity from the burdens of ignorant myth, senseless idolatry and from the pressures of superstition. It establishes life on a firm basis, bonding it with universal existence, according to clear and consistent laws, leaving no room for whim or fleeting desire. It ensures that every human being is able to stand up with heads held high. Heads bow only to God, the One who holds absolute sway over all that exists.

Bu inoyat yo'li: «Shunday ekan, siz O'ziga taslim bo'lasizmi?» Bu — Allohning Elchisi ﷺ xabarini inkor etib, masxara qiladiganlarga beriladigan yagona savol.

This is the path of grace: “will you, then, surrender yourselves to Him?” This is the only question God’s Messenger is directed to ask those who deny his message and indulge in ridicule.

"Agar ular yuz o‘girsalar, ayting: ‘Men buni sizlarning hammangizga adolat bilan e’lon qildim.” (109-oyat) Men sizlarga borini berdim, endi siz bilan men bir xil bilimga egamiz. Bu oyatda ishora qilingan turdagi e’lon urush paytida amalga oshiriladi, bu tinchlikning tugaganini bildiradi. Biroq bu sura Makkada, Islomda urush joiz bo‘lishidan oldin nozil bo‘lgan. Demak, Payg‘ambar ﷺ kofirlarga ularni tark etganini e’lon qilishga, ularni o‘z taqdirlaridan xabardor qoldirishga va ularni ogohlantirgan narsa haqida bildirishga buyurilgan. Shunday qilib, ularning hech qanday uzri qolmaydi. Ular o‘z amallarining achchiq mevalarini tatib ko‘rishlari kerak bo‘ladi, ularni nima kutayotganini yaxshi bilgan holda.
