Bu butun parcha oldingi parchaning davomidir. Sura oldin Allohning rozi bo'ladigan yo'lga ergashganlarning taqdirini bayon qilgan bo'lsa, endi shaytonlarning, ular insonmi yoki jinmi bo'lishidan qat'i nazar, taqdirini bayon qiladi. Shu bilan birga, u iymon va uni rad etish degan katta masalani davom ettiradi, bu yerda u Allohning hukmronligi va qonun chiqarish vakolati doirasida zikr qilinadi. U hukmronlik masalasini Islom e'tiqodining asosiy masalalari bilan bog'laydi, jumladan, insonlarning hozirgi hayotda qilgan ishlari uchun oxirat hayotidagi mukofot masalasi bilan. Bu bilan bog'liq boshqa masalalar: Allohning barcha shaytonlarni, ularning do'stlarini va butun insoniyatni yo'q qilib, ularning o'rniga boshqalarni qo'yish qudrati, shuningdek, insoniyatning Allohning yengib bo'lmas qudrati oldidagi ojizligi. Bu barcha iymon masalalari bu yerda hayvon go'shtining harom va halol bo'lishi doirasida zikr qilinadi, bu masala avval muhokama qilingan, hamda ekinlar, hayvonlar va avlodlardan qilinadigan qurbonliklar, shuningdek, boshqa johiliyat odatlari va johiliyat tushunchalari haqidagi keyingi muhokama bilan bog'liqdir. Shunday qilib, bu masalalarning barchasi bir-biri bilan chambarchas bog'liq ko'rinadi. Ular Islom belgilagan o'z o'rnida ko'rib chiqiladi. Ya'ni, ular barchasi iymon masalalari bo'lib, Allohning vahiy qilingan Kitobida belgilangan o'lchovlariga muvofiq, teng ravishda yoritiladi.

This whole passage is a continuation of the previous one. Since the sūrah previously outlined the destiny of those who follow the path acceptable to God, it now outlines the fate of satans, be they human or jinn. On the other hand, it continues to tackle the great issue of faith and its rejection, which is mentioned here within the framework of God’s sovereignty and authority to legislate. It links the issue of sovereignty with the main issues of the Islamic faith, including that of reward in the life to come for what people do in this present life. Other issues linked with this are God’s ability to remove all satans, their friends and all mankind, and to replace them with others, as also mankind’s weakness in the face of God’s irresistible power. All these faith issues are mentioned here within the context of the prohibition and permissibility of animal food, which has already been discussed, and the forthcoming discussion of offerings of crops, animals and offspring, as well as other ignorant traditions and jāhiliyyah concepts. Thus all these issues appear to be closely related. They are seen in their appropriate positions as designated by Islam. That is, they are all faith questions, equally treated according to God’s measures established in His revealed Book.

Oldingi oyatlarda sūraning bir butun bayoni bor edi: Alloh qalbini Unga taslim bo‘lish xabariga ochgan kishilarning holati haqida. Ular Parvardigorlarini doimo eslab, barcha ishlarida Uning nazorati ostida yashaydilar, tinchlik sari intiladilar va Rabblarining himoyasiga ishonch bilan ega bo‘ladilar. Qur’onda qiyomat kunining holatlari bir-biriga qarama-qarshi tarzda tasvirlanadigani odat bo‘lganidek, endi insonlar va jinlardan iborat yovuzlarning taqdirini aks ettiruvchi bir lavha keladi. Ular umrlarini bir-birlarini aldamchi yolg‘on bilan ruhlantirishga, har bir payg‘ambar va elchiga qarshi bir-birlarini qo‘llashga, mo‘minlar bilan qanday dalillar bilan bahslashib, ularning qalbida Alloh halol qilgan va haram qilgan narsalar borasida shubha uyg‘otish kerakligini bir-biriga o‘rgatishga sarflaydilar. Bularning hammasi suhbat, iqror va malomat bilan xarakterlanuvchi juda jonli bir lavha shaklida tasvirlanadi.

The previous passage of the sūrah contained a full discussion of the situation of those whose hearts God opens up to receive the message of surrender to Him. They remain conscious of God and continue to watch Him in all their actions, move towards a life of peace, assured that they will have the patronage of their Lord. As it is customary in the Qur’ān for contrasting scenes of the Day of Judgement to be portrayed, we now have a sketch showing the lot of the evil ones among humans and jinn. These spend their lives inspiring one another with deceptive falsehood, supporting one another in their hostility to every prophet and messenger pointing out to each other what arguments to use with the believers in order to raise doubts in their minds about what God has made lawful and what He has forbidden. All this is portrayed in a very vivid sketch, characterized by dialogue, confession and reproach.

Qiyomat kuni, Alloh ularning hammasini bir joyga to‘plaganida (Alloh shunday deydi): «Ey jin jamoati! Insonlardan ko‘pchilikni yo‘ldan urgansiz». Ularning insonlar orasidagi do‘stlari aytadi: «Parvardigorimiz! Biz bir-birimizdan foydalandik va Sen bizga belgilagan muddatimizga yetdik». U: «Sizlarning joyingiz do‘zax bo‘ladi, unda abadiy qolasizlar, faqat Alloh boshqacha xohlasa», deydi. Albatta, Parvardigoringiz hikmat egasi, bilimdondir. Qilgan amallari sababli zolimlarning bir-biriga do‘st bo‘lishini ana shunday qilamiz.

On the day when He shall gather them all together, (He will say):”O you company of jinn! A great many human beings have you seduced.” Those who were their close friends among human beings will say: “Our Lord, we have enjoyed each other’s fellowship, and we have now reached the end of our term which You have appointed for us.” He will say: “The fire shall be your abode, where you shall remain, unless God wills it otherwise.” Indeed, your Lord is wise, all-knowing. In this manner do We cause the wrongdoers to be close allies of one another, because of that which they do.

Xudo O‘z marhamatining belgisi sifatida insonlarga elchilarini yuboradi. Ularning ibodati yoki Unga bo‘lgan imonlari Unga hech qanday ehtiyoj tug‘dirmaydi, U hech narsaga muhtoj emas. Ular yaxshilik qilganda, faqat o‘zlariga foyda keltiradilar, ham bu dunyoda, ham oxirat hayotida. Uning marhamati yana shundan ko‘rinadiki, U itoatsiz avlodga, ya’ni yomonlik qilishda davom etib, Unga butunlay kofir bo‘lgan avlodga imkoniyat beradi, holbuki U ularni butunlay yo‘q qilib, o‘rniga boshqa avlodni keltirishga qodir: “Parvardigoring beniyoz, rahmli Zotdir. Agar xohlasa, sizlarni butunlay yo‘q qilib, boshqa avlodning orqasidan sizlarning o‘rningizga kimni xohlasa, shuni keltiradi, xuddi sizlarni boshqa qavmning naslidan paydo qilganidek”. (133-oyat)

God sends His messengers to human beings as a gesture of His grace. He Himself has no need of them, their worship or even their belief in Him. When they do well, they only benefit themselves both in this life and in the life to come. His grace is also seen in the fact that He grants a chance to the disobedient generation which continues to do wrong and to deny Him altogether, while He is able to destroy it completely and bring in its place a different generation: “Your Lord is the self-sufficient One, the Merciful. If He so wills, He may remove you altogether and cause whom He wills to succeed you, just as He brought you into being out of other people’s seed.” (Verse 133)

Shu sababli, insonlar hech qachon Allohning inoyati bilan yashashlarini va ularning mavjudligi Uning irodasiga bog‘liqligini unutmasliklari kerak. Ular ega bo‘lgan har qanday qudrat Alloh tomonidan ularga berilgandir. Bu ularning o‘z zotidan keladigan qudrati yoki o‘z-o‘zidan belgilanadigan mavjudligi emas. Note: The rules require "God" rather than "Allah" in the translation, so the correct rendering is: Shu sababli, insonlar hech qachon Xudoning inoyati bilan yashashlarini va ularning mavjudligi Uning irodasiga bog‘liqligini unutmasliklari kerak. Ular ega bo‘lgan har qanday qudrat Xudo tomonidan ularga berilgandir. Bu ularning o‘z zotidan keladigan qudrati yoki o‘z-o‘zidan belgilanadigan mavjudligi emas.

Therefore, human beings must never forget that they survive only by God’s grace, and that their existence depends on His will. Whatever power they enjoy, has been given to them by God. Theirs is not an intrinsic power or a self-determined existence.

Hech kim o‘zining dunyoga kelishi borasida ixtiyorga ega emas va hech kim o‘zi qanday kuchga ega bo‘la olishini belgilamaydi. Ularni butunlay yo‘qotib, o‘rnilariga boshqa bir jamoani keltirish Alloh uchun juda oson emasmi? Axir, aynan U ularni o‘tgan avlodning urug‘idan yaratib, Uning irodasi bilan o‘sha avlodning o‘rnini egallashlari uchun dunyoga keltirgan.

No one has any choice with regard to their coming into being, and no one determines what sort of power he can exercise. To remove them altogether and to bring another community in their place is very easy for God. After all, it is He who has brought them into being from the seed of a past generation so that they succeed that generation by His will.
