The Forgiver (Ghâfir)

In the name of Allah, Gracious, Merciful.

¹H. M.

²The revelation of this book is from Allah, exalted in power, full of knowledge¹

³Who forgives sin, accepts repentance, is strict in punishment, and has a long reach in all things. There is no god but He: to Him is the final goal.

⁴None can dispute about the signs of Allah but the unbelievers. Let not then their strutting about through the land deceive you!

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

²Tanzilul kitabi minal lahil azizil alim

³Ghafari zan bi wa qabili taubi sadidil iqabi zi taul la illaha illahu wlaihil masir

⁴Ma yujadilu fi ayatil lahi illal lazina kafaru fala yagrurka taqalubuhum filbilad

1. Allah is indeed full of knowledge, however giving the various loopholes in the Qur’an and makes you wonder if indeed Allah is full of knowledge. The usual thus says the Lord in the Bible marking statements uttered by God Almighty through His prophets is missing here, the “Say” which Muhammad uses to distinguish statements made by Allah is missing here. The question therefore remains, who made the statement, “The revelation of this Book is from Allah, Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge.”

⁵But (there were people) before them who denied (the Signs), the People of Noah and the confederates (of Evil) after them; and every People plotted against their prophet to seize him and disputed by means of vanities therewith to condemn the truth; but it was I that seized them! And how (terrible) was My Requital!

⁶Thus was the Decree of thy Lord proved true against the Unbelievers; that truly they are Companions of Fire!

⁷Those who sustain the throne of Allah and those around it sing glory and praise to their Lord; believe in Him; and implore forgiveness for those who believe: “Our Lord! Your reach is over all things in mercy and knowledge. Forgive then those who turn in repentance and follow Your path: and preserve them from the penalty of the blazing fire!²

⁸“And grant our Lord! That they enter the gardens of eternity which You have promised to them andto the righteous, among their fathers, their wives, and their posterity! For You are the exalted in might, full of wisdom.

⁵Kaz zabat qablahum qaumu nu_hiw wal ahza_bu min badihim wa hamat kul lu um matin birasulihim liyakhuzuhu wa jadalu bil batili liyud hidu bihil haq qa fa akhaz tuhum fakaifa kana iqab

⁷Allazina yahmilunal arsa wa man haulahu yusab bihuna bihamdi rabbihim wa yuminuna bihi wa yastagfiruna lil lazina amanu rabbana wa sita kul la sai ir rahmata wa ilman tagfir lil lazina tabuwat tabau sabilaka waqihim azabal jahim

⁸Rabbana wa adkhilhum jannati adnil lati wa adtahum wa man salaha min aba ihim wa azwajihim wa zuriy yatihim innaka antal azizul hakim

2. Here is another of the questionable verses which impugns the character of Allah. Allah was told to ask forgiveness for those who believe and straight away Allah begins to ask forgiveness for them. Who is there that Allah, who is claimed to the most Supreme would pray to and ask forgiveness for his followers. Does not sound odd to you.

[Commentary continues below.]

⁹“And preserve them from ills; and any whom you preserve from ills that day, on them You will have bestowed mercy indeed: and that will be truly the highest achievement.

¹⁰The unbelievers will be addressed: “Greater was the aversion of Allah to you than your aversion to yourselves, seeing that you were called to the faith and you used to refuse.”

¹¹They will say:” Our Lord! twice have You made us without life and twice have You given us life! Now that we recognized our sins: is there any way out of this?”

¹²“This is because when Allah was invoked as the only object of worship, you did reject faith, but when partners were joined to Him, you believed! The command is with Allah, most high, most great!”

⁹Wa qihimus sayi at wa man taqi sa yiati yauma izin faqad rahimtah wa zalika huwal fauzul azhim

[Commentary continues below.]

¹³He it is who shows you His signs and sends down sustenance for you from the sky: but only those receive admonition who turn to Allah.

¹⁴Call then upon Allah with sincere devotion to Him even though the unbelievers may detest it.

¹⁵Raised high above ranks is the Lord of the throne: by his command does He send the spirit of inspiration to any of His servants He pleases, that it may warn men of the day of mutual meeting

¹⁶The day whereon they will come forth: Not a single thing concerning them is hidden from Allah. Whose will be the dominion that day? That of Allah, the one, the irresistible!

¹⁷That day will every soul be requited for what it earned; no injustice will there be that day, for Allah is swift in taking account.

¹³Huwal lazi yurikum ayatihi wa yuna zilu lakum mina samai rizqa wa ma yataza karu illa ma yunib

¹⁴Fadul laha muklisina lahud dina walau karihal kafirun

¹⁷Alyauma tujza kullu nafsin bima kasabat la zulmal yaum innallaha sariul hisab

3. By spirit of inspiration, revelation is implied.

[Commentary continues below.]

¹⁸Warn them of the day that is drawing near when the hearts will come right up to the throats to choke them; no intimate friend nor intercessor will the wrongdoers have who could be listened to.

¹⁹Allah knows of the tricks that deceive with the eyes and all that hearts of men conceal.

²⁰And Allah will judge with truth: but those whom men invoke besides Him will not be in a position to judge at all. Verily, it is Allah who hears and sees all things.

¹⁸Wa anzirhum yaumal azifati izil qulubu ladal hanajiri kazimin ma li zalimina min hami miw wa la safiiy yuta

¹⁹Yalamu kha inatal ayuni wa ma tukhfi sudur

²⁰Wallahu yaqdi bil haq wal lazina yaduna min dunihi la yaqduna bisai innal laha huwa samiul basir

[Commentary continues below.]

²¹Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before them? They were even superior to them in strength and in the traces in the land: but Allah did call them to account for their sins and none had they to defend them against Allah.

²²That was because there came to them their apostles with clear signs, but they rejected them: So Allah called them to account: for He is full of strength, strict in punishment.

²³Of old We sent Moses with Our signs and authority manifest

²⁴To Pharaoh, Haman and Qarun; but they called him “a sorcerer telling lies!”.

²¹Awalam yasuru filardi fayanzuru kaifa kana qaqibatul lazina kanu min qablihim kanu hum asyad damin hum quw wataw wa atsaran filardi fa akazahumul lahu bizunubihim wa ma kana lahum minal lahi mi waq

²²Zalika bi annahum kana tatihim rusuluhum bil bayinati fakafaru fa akazahumul lah innahu qawi yun sadidul iqab

²³Wa laqad arsalna Musa bi ayatina wa sultanim mubin

²⁴Ila Firauna wa Hamana wa Qaruna taqalu sahirun kazab

[Commentary continues below.]

²⁵Now when he came to them in truth from Us they said “Slay the sons of those who believe with him and keep alive their females” but the plots of unbelievers end in nothing but errors.

²⁶Said Pharaoh: “Leave me to slay Moses; and let him call on his Lord! What I fear is lest he should change your religion or lest he should cause mischief to appear in the land!”⁴

²⁷Moses said: “I have indeed called upon my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who believes not in the day of account!”

²⁵Falamma ja ahum bil haqqi min indina qaluqtulu abna allazina amanu maahu wastahyu nisa ahum wa ma kaidul kafirina illa fi dalal

²⁶Wa qala Fraunu zaruni aqtul Musa walyadu rabbah inni akhafu ayubad dila dinakum au ayuzhira filardil fasad

²⁷Wa qala Musa inni uztu birabbi wa rabbikum min kulli mutakab biril la yuminu biyaumil hisab

4. Pharaoh’s desire to kill Moses was not on account of his fear that Moses will mislead the people, rather, according to Exodus 2:15, because Moses had killed an Egyptian. Also in Exodus 10:28, it was because of the plagues which God Almighty through Moses brought upon the people of Egypt. Moses at no time attempted to convert the Egyptians to the worship of God Almighty, the best he did was to be a mouth piece for the Jews before God Almighty and Pharaoh.

²⁸A believer, a man from among the people of Pharaoh who had concealed his faith said: “Will you slay a man because he says `My Lord is Allah’? When he has indeed come to you with clear signs from your Lord? And if he be a liar, on him is the sin of his lie: but if he is telling the truth, then will fall on you something of the calamity of which he warns you: truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies!

²⁹“O my people! yours is the dominion this day: you have the upper hand in the land: but who will help us from the punishment of Allah should it befall us?” Pharaoh said: “I point out to you that which I see; nor do I guide you but to the path of right!”

³⁰Then said the man who believed: “O my people! truly I do fear for you something like the day of disaster of the confederates!

³¹“Something like the fate of the people of Noah, the `Ad, and the Thamud, and those who came after them: but Allah never wishes injustice to His servants.

³²“And O my people! I fear for you a day when there will be mutual calling.

²⁸Wa qala rajulum muminum min ali Firauna yaktumu imanahu ataqtuluna rajulan ayaqula rabbiyal lahu wa qad ja akum bil bayinati mi rabbikum wa iyaku kaziban faalaihi kazibuh wa iyaku sadiquy yushibkum badul lazi yaidukum innal laha la yahdi man huwa musrifun kazab

³⁰Wa qalal lazi amana ya qaumi inni akhafu alaikum mitsla yaumil ahzab

³¹Mitsla dabi qaumi Nuhiw wa Adiw wa Samuda wal lazina min badihim wa mallahu yuridu zulmal lilibad

³²Wa ya qaumi inni akhafu alaikum yaumat tanad

[Commentary continues below.]

³³A day when you shall turn your backs and flee: no defender shall you have from Allah: any whom Allah leaves to stray there is none to guide.

³⁴“And to you there came Joseph in times gone by with clear signs, but you ceased not to doubt of the mission for which he had come: at length when he died you said: `No apostle will Allah send after him.’ Thus does Allah leave to stray such as transgress and live in doubt.⁵

³⁵“Such as dispute about the signs of Allah without any authority that has reached them. Grievous and odious is such conduct in the sight of Allah and of the believers. Thus does Allah seal up every heart of arrogant and obstinate transgressors.”

³³Yauma tuwal luna mudbirina ma lakum minal lahi min asim wa ma yudlilil lahu fama lahu min had

³⁴Wa laqad jaakum Yusufu min qablu bil bayinati fama ziltum fi sakim mim ma ja akum bih hata iza halaka qultum layab asal lahu min badihi rasula kazalika yudil lul lahu man huwa musrifum murtab

³⁵Allazina yujadiluna fi ayatillahi bigairi sultanin atahum kabura maqtan indal lahi wa indal lazina amanu kazalika yatbaul lahu ala kulli qabli mutakab birin jab bar

5. The reason of Joseph being in Egypt was not as a prophet (an apostle), rather it was part of God’s plan to make him great and to preserve the world through him. Genesis 45:3-5;

And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence. So Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." And they came near. And he said, "I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

This came was fulfilled when his brothers bowed before him unknowingly and pleaded for mercy in Genesis 44:14.

When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They fell before him to the ground.

³⁶Pharaoh said: “O Haman! Build me a lofty palace that I may attain the ways and means.

³⁷“The ways and means of the heavens and that I may mount up to the Allah of Moses; but as far as I am concerned, I think he is a liar!” Thus was made alluring in Pharaoh’s eyes the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the path; and the plot of Pharaoh led to nothing but perdition.

³⁸The man who believed said further: “O my people! follow me: I will lead you to the path of right.

³⁹“O my people! This life of the present is nothing but temporary convenience: it is the hereafter that is the home that will last.

³⁶Wa qala Firaunu ya Hamanubni li sarhal la alli ablugul asbab

³⁷Asbabas samawati fa atalia ila ilahi Musa wa inni la azun nuhu kaziba wa kazalika zu yina li Firauna su u amalihi wa sudda ani sabil wa ma kaidu Firauna illa fi tabab

³⁸Wa qalal lazi amana ya qaumi tabiuni ahdikum sabilar rasyad

³⁹Ya qaumi innama hazihil hayatud dunya matauw wa innal akhirata hiya darul qarar

[Commentary continues below.]

⁴⁰“He that works evil will not be requited but by the like thereof: and he that works a righteous deed whether man or woman and is a believer such will enter the garden: therein will they have abundance without measure.

⁴¹“And O my people! how strange it is for me to call you to salvation while you call me to the fire!

⁴²“You call upon me to blaspheme against Allah and to join with Him partners of whom I have no knowledge; and I call you to the exalted in power who forgives again and again!”

⁴³“Without doubt you call me to one who is not fit to be called to, whether in this world or in the hereafter; our return will be to Allah; and the transgressors will be companions of the fire!

⁴⁰Man amila sa yi atan fala yujza illa mitslaha wa man amila salihan min zakarin au unsa wa huwa muminun fa ulaika yadhulunal jannata yurzaquna fiha bigairi hisab

⁴¹Wa ya qaumi mali adukum ilan najati wa tadunani ilan nar

[Commentary continues below.]

⁴⁴“Soon will you remember what I say to you, now my own affair I commit to Allah: for Allah watches over His servants.”

⁴⁵Then Allah saved him from every ill that they plotted, but the brunt of the penalty encompassed on all sides the people of Pharaoh.⁶

⁴⁶In front of the fire will they be brought morning and evening: and on the day that judgment will be established: “Cast the people of Pharaoh into the severest penalty!”

⁴⁷Behold they will dispute with each other in the fire! The weak ones will say to those who had been arrogant “We but followed you: can you then take from us some share of the fire?”

⁴⁸Those who had been arrogant will say: “We are all in this! Truly Allah has judged between His servants!”

⁴⁴Fasatazkuruna ma aqulu lakum wa ufa widu amri ilal lah innal laha basirun bil ibad

⁴⁵Fawaqahul lahu sa yi ati ma makaru wa haqa bi ali Firauna su ul azab

⁴⁸Qalal lazina takbaru inna kullun fiha innal laha qad hakama bainal ibad

6. Though there were some Egyptians who believed in the God of the Jews, the Bible does not record any of them witnessing to their unbelieving country folk about who God Almighty is. The signs that were wrought by the hand of Moses and Aaron, were enough testimonies in themselves to convince the kind hearted that God Almighty is God indeed.

[Commentary continues below.]

⁴⁹Those in the fire will say to the keepers of hell: “Pray to your Lord to lighten us the penalty for a day at least!”

⁵⁰They will say: “Did there not come to you your apostles with clear signs?” They will say “Yes.” They will reply “Then pray as you like, but the prayer of those without faith is nothing but futile wandering in mazes of error!”

⁵¹We will without doubt help Our apostles and those who believe in this world’s life and on the day when the witnesses will stand forth.

⁵²The day when no profit will it be to wrongdoers to present their excuses but they will only have the curse and the home of misery.

⁵³We did before give Moses the guidance and We gave the book in inheritance to the Children of Israel

⁴⁹Wa qalal lazina finnar likhazanati jahan amadu rabbakum yukhaf fif anna yaumam minal azab

[Commentary continues below.]

⁵⁴A guide and a message to men of understanding.

⁵⁵Patiently then persevere: for the promise of Allah is true: and ask forgiveness for your fault and celebrate the praises of your Lord in the evening and in the morning.⁷

⁵⁶Those who dispute about the signs of Allah without any authority bestowed on them, there is nothing in their breasts but the quest of greatness which they shall never attain to: seek refuge then in Allah,: it is He who hears and sees all things.

⁵⁷Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater matter than the creation of men: Yet most men understand not.⁸

⁵⁴Huda wa zikra li ulil lalbab

7. Though Muslims preach about the sinlessness of Muhammad, this verse gives a contrary opinion. Muhammad was a sinner who needed forgiveness and he sought it from Allah, a fact attested to in the Hadith. Sahih Al-Bukhari’s Hadith 1.711 narrated by Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle used to keep silent between the Takbir and the recitation of Qur’an and that interval of silence used to be a short one. I said to the Prophet “May my parents be sacrificed for you! What do you say in the pause between Takbir and recitation?” The Prophet said, “O Allah! Set me apart from my sins (faults) as the East and West are set apart from each other and clean me from sins as a white garment is cleaned of dirt (after thorough washing). O Allah! Wash off my sins with water, snow and hail.”

Abu Huraira was one of the most trusted servants of Muhammad and one from whom a lot of Hadith transmissions were received.

8. This is only in comparison to the make up not the essence, man was made in the image of God and nothing can be greater than that. However, there are more of the heavenly bodies and also of much larger proportions than man. Take the moon, the sun, the oceans, the circumference of the earth, this is what is meant here.

⁵⁸Not equal are the blind and those who see: nor are those who believe and work deeds of righteousness and those who do evil. Little do you learn by admonition!

⁵⁹The hour will certainly come: therein is no doubt: yet most men believe not.

⁶⁰And your Lord says: “Call on Me; I will answer your prayer: But those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in hell in humiliation!”

⁶¹It is Allah who has made the night for you that you may rest therein, and the day as that which helps you to see. Verily, Allah is full of grace and bounty to men: yet most men give no thanks.

⁵⁸Wa ma yastawil ama wal basiru wal lazina amanu wa amilu salihati wa lal musi qalilam ma tatazak karun

⁵⁹Inna saata la atiyatul la raiba fiha walakinna aksaran nasi la yuminun

⁶¹Allahul lazi jaala lakumul laila litas kunu fihi wa nahara mubsira innala laha lazu fadlin alan nasi wa lakina aksaran nasi la yaskurun

⁶²Such is Allah your Lord, the creator of all things, there is no god but He: then how you are deluded away from the truth!

⁶³Thus are deluded those who are known to reject the signs of Allah.

⁶⁴It is Allah who has made for you the earth as a resting place, and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shapes, and made your shapes beautiful, and has provided for you sustenance of things pure and good, such is Allah, your Lord. So glory to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!

⁶⁵He is the living one: There is no god but He, call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds!

⁶²Zalikumul lahu rabbukum khaliqukul li sai la ilaha illa huwa fa anna tufakun

⁶³Kazalika yufakul lazina kanu bi ayatil lahi yajhadun

⁶⁴Allahul lazi jaala lakumul arda qarara wa sama abina awwasaw warakum fa ahsana suwarakum wa razaqakum minat tay yibat zalikumul lahu rabbukum fatabarakal lahu rabbul alamin

⁶⁵Huwal hayu la ilaha illa huwa faduhu muklisina lahud din alhamdu lillahi rabbil alamin

⁶⁶Say: “I have been forbidden to invoke those whom you invoke besides Allah, seeing that the clear signs have come to me from my Lord: and I have been commanded to bow to the Lord of the worlds.”

⁶⁷It is He who has created you from dust, then from a sperm drop, then from a leech like clot; then does He get you out into the light as a child: then lets you reach your age of full strength; then lets you become old, though there are some of you who die before; and lets you reach a term appointed: in order that you may learn wisdom.

⁶⁸It is He who gives life and death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it “Be” and it is.

⁶⁹Do you not see those that dispute concerning the signs of Allah? How are they turned away from reality?

⁶⁶Qul inni an abudal lazina taduna min dunil lahi lamma ja aniyal ba yinatu mi rabbi wa umirtu an uslima li rabbil alamin

⁶⁸Huwal lazi yuhyi wa yumitu faiza qadha amran fa innama yaqulu lahu kun fayakun

⁶⁹Alam tara ilal lazina yujadiluna fi ayatil lah anna yusrafun

⁷⁰Those who reject the book and the revelations with which We sent Our apostles: But soon shall they know

⁷¹When the yokes shall be round their necks and the chains; they shall be dragged along.

⁷²In the boiling fetid fluid then in the fire shall they be burned;

⁷³Then shall it be said to them: “Where are the deities to which you gave part worship.

⁷⁴“In derogation of Allah?” They will reply: “They have left us in the lurch: no, we invoked not of old anything that had real existence.” Thus does Allah leave the unbelievers to stray.

⁷⁵“That was because you were known to rejoice on the earth in things other than the truth and that you were known to be insolent.

⁷⁶“Enter the gates of hell to dwell therein: and evil is the abode of the arrogant!”

⁷⁰Allazina ka zabu bikitabi wa bima arsalna bihi rusulana fasaufa yalamun

⁷¹Izil aglalu fi anaqihim was salasil yushabun

⁷⁵Zalikum bima kuntum tafrahuna filardi bigairil haqqi wa bima kuntum tamrahun

⁷⁶Udkhulu abwaba jahannama khalidina fiha fa bisa matswal mutakabirin

⁷⁷So persevere in patience! For the promise of Allah is true: and whether We show you some part of what We promise them or We take your soul, it is to Us that they shall return.

⁷⁸We did send apostles before you: of them there are some whose story We have related to you and some whose story We have not related to you. It was not for any apostle to bring a sign except by the leave of Allah: but when the command of Allah issued the matter was decided in truth and justice and there perished there and then those who stood on falsehoods.

⁷⁹It is Allah who made cattle for you that you may use some for riding and some for food;

⁸⁰And there are advantages in them for you; that you may through them attain to any need in your hearts; and on them and on ships you are carried.

⁷⁷Fasbir inna wadal lahi haqqun faima nuriyan naka badal lazi naiduhum au natawaf fayan naka fa ilaina yurjaun

⁷⁸Wa laqad arsalna rusula min qablika minhum man qasasna alaika wa minhum mal lam naq sus alaika wa ma kana lirasulin ay yatiya bi ayatin illa bi iznillahi fa iza ja a amrul lahi qudiya bil haq qi wakasira huna likal mubtilun

⁷⁹Allahul lazi jaala lakumul anama litarkabu minha wa minha takulun

⁸⁰Wa lakum fiha manafiu wa litablugu alaiha hajatan fi sudurikum wa alaiha wa alal fulki tuh malun

⁸¹And He shows you always His signs; then which of the signs of Allah will you deny?

⁸²Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than these and superior in strength and in the traces in the land: yet all that they accomplished was of no profit to them.

⁸³For when their apostles came to them with clear signs they exulted in such knowledge as they had; but that very wrath at which they were known to scoff hemmed them in.

⁸⁴But when they saw Our punishment they said: “We believe in Allah, the one Allah, and we reject the partners we used to join with Him.”

⁸¹Wa yurikum ayatihi fa ayya ayatillahi tunkirun

⁸²Afalam yasiru fil ardi fayanzuru kaifa kana aqibatul lazina min qablihim kanu aksara min hum wa asyad da quw wataw wa asaran filardi fama agna anhum ma kanu yaksibun

⁸⁴Falam ma ra au basana qalu aman na bil lahi wahdahu wa kafarna bima kunna bihi musrikin

⁸⁵But their professing the faith when they actually saw Our punishment was not going to profit them. Such has been Allah’s way of dealing with His servants from the most ancient times. And even thus did the rejecters of Allah perish utterly!

⁸⁵Falam yaku yanfauhum imanuhum lamma ra au basana sun natallahil lati qad khalat fi ibadihi wa khasira hunalikal kafirun
