By the sky containing great stars(1)

Tafseer Abdullah Yusuf

The Glorious Sky, with the broad belt of the Constellations marking the twelve Signs of the Zodiac. The stars of the Zodiac as well as of other Constellations are like the eyes of the Night. It may be that crimes are committed in the darkness of the night but countless eyes are watching all the time and every author of evil will be brought to book .

Tafseer Dr. Farooq Azam

By the heaven with its constellations.

Tafseer Ibn Abbas

And from his narration on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that he said regarding the interpretation of Allah saying - (By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars) - He says: Allah swears by the heaven which includes mansions of the stars; it is also said: He swears by the heaven which has mansions between heaven and earth.

Tafseer Jalalain

By the heaven of the constellations, the twelve constellations of the planets — as explained in [sūrat] al-Furqān [Q. 25:61].
Ibn Abbas - On from his narration on the authority of Ibn Abbas that he said regarding the interpretation of Allah’s saying - ( By the heaven holding mansions of stars) He says : Allah swears by the heaven which includes mansions of stars ; it is also said : He swears by the heaven which has mansions between heaven and earth.

Tafseer Ma’arif Ul-Quran

The word buruj is the plural of burj which means 'a large mansion or fortress'. The Quran says:

Verse 4 : 78 - وَلَوْ كُنتُمْ فِى بُرُوجٍ مُّشَيَّدَةٍ ('. . .even though you are in fortified castles)

Here the word buruj means 'castles'. The primitive sense of the word burj is to become manifest'. The word tabarruj means 'to display one's beauty' as in the verse:

33 : 33 - وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ ٱلْجَٰهِلِيَّةِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

.. ...and do not display your beauty as it was previously displayed in the Time of Ignorance.
According to the majority of commentators like Sayyidna Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid, Dahhak, Hasan Al-Basri, Qatadah, Sudd and others, the word buruj, in this verse, refers to 'giant stars'. Other commentators take the word buruj, in this place, to refer to mansions and castles that are reserved in the sky for the guardian angels. Some of the later commentators chose the astronomical view in which the sky is divided into twelve parts, each one called a burj. The primitive philosophers believed that the thawabit (stationary) stars are fixed in these buruj. The planets
move with the movement of their particular sky and the planets descend in these buruj. But this is absolutely incorrect. According to the Quran, Allah has not fixed the stars and planets in the skies. In fact, every star and planet has its own orbit and revolves by itself as in Surah Ya Sin : 36 : 40 -

وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

The word falak in this verse does not refer to the sky, but rather to the orbits of the stars and planets in which they move. [Mazhari]

Tafseer Mufti Taqi Usmani

The original word used in the original text is “buruj” which in Arabic has different meanings including stars. Keeping the generality of the word, it has been translated as ‘stellar formations’.

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

By the starry sky

Tafseer Tafheem Ul-Quran

Literally: "By the heaven having constellations." Some of the commentators have interpreted it to mean the twelve signs of the zodiac in the heavens according to ancient astronomy, However, according to Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, Hasan Basri, Dahhak and Suddi it implies the glorious stars and planets of the sky.

Translation Sahih International

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,(3)

Tafseer Abdullah Yusuf

- The literal meaning is clear, but its metaphorical application has been explained in a variety of ways by different commentators. The words are fairly comprehensive and should, I think be understood in connection with judgment. There the Witnesses may be - (I) Ihc Prophets (iii. 81): Allah Himself (iii. 81, lind x. 6 1); the Recording Angels (I. 21); the Sinner's own misused limbs (xxiv. 24); his record of deeds (xvii. (4); or the Sinner himself (xvii. 14). The subject of the witness may be the deed or crime, or the Sinner against whom the testimony cries out. The appeal to these things means that the
Sinner cannot possibly escape the consequences of his crime, He should repent, seek Allah's Mercy and amend his life.

Tafseer Dr. Farooq Azam

By the witnesses and that which is being witnessed

Tafseer Ibn Abbas

( And by the witness ) the day of Friday (and that whereunto he beareth testimony) the day of ‘Arafah and it is said it is the day of immolation; it is also said that the ‘witness’ refers to the children of Adam while ‘that whereunto he beareth testimony’ refers to the Day of Judgement ; and it is also said that the ‘witness’ is Mohammed (pbuh) while ‘that whereunto he beareth testimony’ is his community; Allah swt swore by all these things that his chastisement of those who disbelieve in Him is very severe.

Tafseer Jalalain

And [by] the witness, Friday, and the witnessed, the day of ‘Arafa — that is how these three [elements] have been explained in hadīth: for the first one is ‘promised’, the second one is ‘a witness’ [that testifies] to deeds performed in it, while the third is ‘witnessed’ by mankind and angels (the introductory [particle] of the response to the oath has been omitted, but is implied to be laqad, ‘verily’, [sc. laqad qutila ashābu’l-ukhdūd]):

Tafseer Ma’arif Ul-Quran

- 'Friday'; and 'The Day of 'Arafah'. The relationship between the objects of oath and the subject of oath is as follows: They bear evidence to the Divine omnipotence, and they are a proof of reckoning and reward and punishment on the Day of Judgement. Friday and the day of 'Arafah (the main day of Hajj that is 9th Zul-Hijjah of the Islamic Calendar) are blessed days for the believers to accumulate treasures for the Hereafter. Further, the subject of oath curses the infidels who burnt the Muslims on account of their faith, and gives cheerful news to the righteous believers of securing elevated ranks in the Hereafter.

Tafseer Mufti Taqi Usmani

- ‘That which attends’ has been explained by many exegetes as Friday, and ‘that which is attended' as the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, the Day of Arafah on which all the pilgrims assemble in the plain of 'Arafat.The former has been identified as ‘that which attends’ because Friday comes when people are in their own cities, while on the Day of Arafah, they have to travel to Arafat to attend the congregation. Hence, it is called ‘that which is attended’. There are other explanations to these phrases adopted by other exegetes.

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

In the chapter concerning the commentary of Surah Buruj, Imam Tirmidhi r.a. reports a Hadith from Sayyidina Abu Hurayra r.a. in which the Holy Prophet saws stated that "the promised day" refers to the Day of Judgment,"the day which presents itself refers to the day of Jumu'ah (Friday) and "the day when people are presented" refers to the day of Arafah (9th of Dhul Hijjah).The Holy Prophet saws has mentioned that the sun does not rise or set on a day better than the day of Jumu'ah. He also mentioned that there is a moment during this day when a believer will receive any good that he prays for and will be saved from anything from which he seeks refuge. Allah Ta'ala owns everything by which He takes oaths in the Qur'an, be they specific times, places or other phenomena. It is therefore obvious that anyone who opposes such a Great Being will certainly meet with destruction.

Tafseer Tafheem Ul-Quran

By the dreadful scenes of the Day of Resurrection and all those creatures who will witness those scenes - The third thing has been sworn by for the reason that just as these wicked people enjoyed witnessing the burning of the helpless believers, so will all human beings on the Day of Resurrection witness how they are taken to task and burnt in Hell.

Translation Sahih International

Cursed were the companions of the trench(4)

Tafseer Abdullah Yusuf

Who were the makers of the pit of fire in which they burnt people for the Faith ? The words are perfectly general and we need not search for particular names except by way of illustration . In ancient history and in medieval Europe many lives were sacrificed at the stake because the victims did not conform to the existing religion . In Arab tradition there is the story of Abraham ; Nimrud tries to burn him to death but on account of Abraham’s Faith , the fire became a means of safety for Abraham : (21:69 and n 2725) . Another case cited is that of Dhu Nawas , the last Himyarite king of Yemen , by religion a Jew, who persecuted the Christians of and is said to have burnt them to death . He seems to have lived in the latter half of the Christian 6th century in the generation immediately preceding the Prophet’s birth in 570 A.D. While the words are perfectly general, a reference is suggested to the persecution to which the early Muslims were subjected by the pagan Quraysh. Among other cruelties, they were stripped and their skins were exposed to the burning rays of the Arabian summer sun .

Tafseer Dr. Farooq Azam

In this connection, the story of the makers of the ditch (Ashâb al-Ukhdud), who had burnt the believers to death by casting them into pits full of fire is related.

Tafseer Ibn Abbas

Self destroyed were the owners of the ditch.

Tafseer Jalalain

- Perish, accursed be, the men of the ditch!, the pit in the ground.

Tafseer Ma’arif Ul-Quran

The Story of the People of Trench - Verse 4 refers to the People of the Trench. Their story is recounted in a Hadith reported by Imam Muslim as follows: There was an infidel king who lived in bygone times. He had a soothsayer , or, according to some narrations, a magician. The infidel king is identified as the ruler of Yemen. His name, according to Ibn 'Abbas &, was Yusuf Dhu Nuwas, and he lived about seventy years before the birth of the Holy Prophet.The soothsayer or magician [occult teacher] said to the king that he should be given an intelligent boy, so that he could train him in the skill of foretelling or the black magic. Accordingly, the king sent a boy,
'Abdullah Ibn Tamir by name, to be trained by the soothsayer or magician [occult teacher]. Whenever the boy went to his teacher, he had to pass by a Christian monk. He followed the true religion of Isa and worshipped Allah. Since the religion of Isa was the true religion in
those days, the monk was, in fact, a Muslim. The boy sat with the monk and was very much impressed by his teachings. As a result, he frequented the monk's house and sat with him for long hours before proceeding to his teacher, and ultimately embraced Islam. Allah had blessed him with such a strong faith that he was prepared to bear any pain and persecution for the sake of Allah. His teacher used to beat him for his coming late. On his way back from the occult teacher, he would spend some time again with the monk and used to go home late. The family would then beat him up for being late. But he was so keen to have the company of the monk that he managed to sit regularly with the monk without fear of persecution. Through the blessings of this, Allah had gifted him with many miracles [karamah]. Once it happened that the boy saw a lion has blocked the path and prevented people from passing. They were perturbed. He picked a stone and prayed: "0 Allah! If the religion of the monk is true, then kill this beast with this stone [so that people may pass]. And if the soothsayer or magician is true, then the beast must not die with my stone." So praying, he aimed at the lion and it died instantly. The news spread among the people that the boy possesses wonderful knowledge. A blind man heard about this and came up to him. He requested him to restore his sight. The boy conceded on the condition that he embraces Islam. The blind man agreed. The boy prayed and Allah restored his sight. The blind
man became Muslim. The king came to know about these incidents, and he got the boy, the monk and the blind were apprehended. They were brought before the king. He got the blind man and the monk killed, and ordered that the boy be taken to the summit of a mountain and be thrown from there. But those who had taken him up there fell and died. The boy went home safely. Then the king ordered to have him drowned in the sea. The boy escaped safely, while the people who took him to the sea were drowned. The boy then himself told the king how to kill him. He told him to take an arrow from his quiver and place it in his bow, and reciting- 'In the name of Allah, my Lord' they should shoot. They did that and the boy finally died. In this way, the boy gave his life away but seeing this, the entire nation of the king cried out spontaneously: "We believe in Allah." At this, the king was greatly enraged and, after consultation with his cabinet, ordered for deep trenches to be dug and filled with fire. An announcement was then made that the people must renounce their faith in Allah. If they refuse, they would be thrown into
the fiery furnace. Eventually, a woman carrying her infant child was brought to a trench, but she hesitated. Allah granted speech to her child who said: "0 mother, be steadfast, because you are certainly on the truth." In this way, many people were burnt. According to some reports, about twelve thousand people were burnt to ashes and, according to other reports, the number is put more than this. Consequently, Divine wrath descended on the People of the Trench and fiery furnace. Reference in verse 4 is made to this incident after taking an oath. In a narration of Muhammad Ibn Ishaq, it is reported that the place where the boy 'Abdullah Ibn Tamir was buried had to be dug up for some important reason during the time of Sayyidna 'Umar. It was found
that the body of 'Abdullah Ibn Tamir was intact, and he was sitting up. His hand was placed on his hip joint, where the arrow struck him. Someone moved his hand out from that place, and his wound started bleeding. When the hand was placed back in its position, the bleeding
stopped. There was a ring in his finger which had the inscription: "Allah is my Lord." The governor of Yemen informed Sayyidna Umar & about this, and he wrote back in reply: "Bury the body back as it was with his finger-ring." [Ibn Kathir]
Special Note -
Ibn Kathir, with reference to Ibn Abi Hatim, writes that the incidents of 'trenches of fire' took place many times in history in different parts of the world. Then Ibn Abi Hatim specifies three particular incidents: [I] a trench in Yemen. [This incident took place during the period of fatrah

(the interval between '1sa and the Holy Prophet saws about seventy years before the advent of the Prophet saws; [2] a trench in Syria; and [3] a trench in Iran. He further states that the incident the Qur'an refers to here in Surah Buruj is the first one that occurred in Najran, the trench of
the kingdom of Yemen, because that was in Arabia.

Tafseer Mufti Taqi Usmani

These verses allude to an episode that occurred in the period between ‘Isa a.s. and the Holy Prophet saws. A king used to consult a soothsayer. When he grew old, the soothsayer requested the king to appoint a young boy he could train him in soothsaying, so that he might replace him after his death. The king did accordingly, and the boy started going to the soothsayer for training. On his way to the soothsayer, he used to pass by a Christian monk who was on the original faith of ‘Isa a.s. without any distortion. The monk used to preach the boy until he adopted his faith secretly. Once on his way, he saw that a lion has blocked the way. The people, afraid of the lion, could not cross the road. The boy picked up a stone, and prayed to Allah that if the religion of the monk was true, the lion might be killed by throwing the stone, and if the soothsayer is true, the lion might not be killed by it. When he threw the stone to the lion, it was killed, and the people around him guessed that the boy had some special knowledge. A blind man requested him to cure him. The boy put a condition that if he was cured, he would embrace the true faith, which he accepted. He prayed to Allah, and cured by Allah, the blind man accepted the true faith. Coming to know about these events, the king arrested the boy, the monk and the blind man. The latter two persons were killed by him. As for the boy, the king ordered his people to bring him to a mountain and throw him from the top. But contrary to his plan, kings’ people died, and the boy remained safe. He was ordered then to be drowned in the sea with the same result. Ultimately, the boy himself suggested to the king that if he really wanted to kill him, he should release an arrow towards him by saying ‘With the name of Allah’. He did accordingly and the boy died. The people who were seeing all these events believed in Allah and in His Oneness and accepted the true faith. Disturbed by this situation, the king ordered his aides to dig a trench, fill it with the fire and throw all the people who did not convert to his faith into the trench. A large number of true believers were thus burned alive.

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

These verses refer to disbelievers who filled trenches with fuel and kindled a raging fire. They then forced the believers to enter the trenches.
Prophet saws once recounted to His companions ( the Sahabah) the story of a king who lived in bygone times. When his magician became old,He approached the king and requested him to send someone to him so that he could teach him magic. Eager that someone should continue the practice after the old magician, the king sent a boy to take lessons from the magician. Whenever the boy came to the magician, he had to pass by a monk. One day, he sat with the monk and was very impressed by what the monk taught him. As a result, he always sat with the monk before proceeding to the magician for lessons. However, the magician used to beat him for always being late. When he mentioned this to the monk, the monk told him that whenever he feared reproach from the magician, he should excuse himself by saying that his family had delayed him. On the other hand, if he ever feared reproach from his family members, he should tell them that the magician had delayed him. In this manner, he managed to sit regularly with the monk without suffering punishment. It once occurred that a large animal blocked the path and prevented people from passing. When the boy arrived there, he thought to himself that this would be the ideal opportunity to test whether the magician or the monk was better. He therefore picked up a stone and prayed, "O Allah! If the way of the monk is more beloved to you than the way of the magician, then kill this beast with this stone so that people may pass." Consequently, when he threw the stone at the creature, the stone killed it instantly and people were able to pass by peacefully.
When the boy related the incident to the monk, the monk said, "You have now become better than me and have reached the high status that I can see. Now
listen. You will now be tested (and put through difficulty). When this happens,
do not tell anyone about me."Thereafter, the boy began curing people who were born blind and those who were bom with white liver i.e. Allah cured them when he made supplication to Allah to cure them. When a blind minister of the king heard
about the boy, he took many gifts along with him and told the boy that he could
have everything if he cured him of his blindness. The boy said, "I cannot cure anyone. Only Allah can cure. However, if you believe in Allah, I will pray to Allah and He will cure you." When the minister complied, Allah restored his sight.When the minister returned to the king's court, the king asked him who had restored his vision. The minister replied,"My Lord has restored my sight." The king Asked, "Do you have a Lord besides me?" The minister replied, "Allah Ta'ala is my Lord and your Lord." The king had the minister arrested and he was tortured until he revealed the name of the boy. When the boy was brought before the king, the king said to him, "Your magic has reached a stage where it can cure the blind and people suffering from white liver."The boy said, "I cannot cure anyone. Only Allah can cure."The king then had him tortured until he revealed the identity of the monk. When the monk was brought before the king, the king told him to renounce his religion. When the monk refused, the king had a saw brought and, placing the saw on his head, had the monk sawed in two. The king then turned to the minister who
Believed in Allah and told him to renounce his faith. When the minister refused,
the king had him also sawn in two.Turning to the boy, the king put the same request to him. When the boy also refused, the king placed him in the custody of a few of his men and instructed them to take the boy to certain mountain and to climb up to the summit with him. If he renounced his religion there, he was to be set free, otherwise if he still refused to forsake his religion, they were to throw him off the mountain. As they climbed the mountain with him, the boy made supplication thus, "O Allah! Suffice for me against them in whichever manner You please. "Allah then caused the mountain to tremor and all the king's men fell to their deaths. The boy returned alone to the king. When the king asked where his men were, the boy replied that Allah had protected him from their evil. The king then sent him with another party of men, instructing them to take him by ship to the middle of the ocean and to let him be if he forsook his faith. Otherwise, they were to throw him overboard. When they reached the middle of the ocean, the boy again prayed, "O Allah! Suffice for me against them in whichever manner You please. "As he made the supplication, the ship capsized and all the king's men were drowned. Again the boy returned alone to the king and when the king asked where his men were, the boy replied that Allah had sufficed for him and had protected him from their evil. The boy (Abdullah bin Tamir) then told the king that he would be unable to kill him by any method except one. When the king asked him what the method was, the boy said, "Gather the people on afield and tie me to the trunk of a tree. Then,taking an arrow from this quiver of mine, place it in my how and say,
'In the name of the lord of this boy.' Then shoot the arrow." The boy knew that he was to die so he thought of this method to make his death an invitation to his religion for the people. Unable to fathom this plan, the king did as he was told. He gathered the people, placed the arrow in the bow and shot it saying, "In the name of the Lord of this boy."The arrow struck the boy's temple and he died with his hand on the point where the arrow hit.Seeing this, the people cried out,"We believe in the Lord of this boy!"The king's men came to him saying, "What you most feared has happened" The king then instructed his soldiers to dig trenches in the first streets of the town and to fill the trenches with fire. When this was done, the king instructed his men to bring every believer to the trenches and to tell them to renounce their faith in Allah. If they refused, they were to be thrown into the fire. When this was done,many people were thrown into the fire. Eventually, when a woman carrying her infant child was brought to a trench,she hesitated. Allah granted speech to her child who said, "O mother! Be steadfast because you are certainly upon the truth."

Tirmidhi reports the same incident with a few additions. At the beginning,
the narration of Tirmidhi states that a fortune-teller of the king told him that his
kingdom was soon to come to an end and it was this fortune-teller who
requested the king to send an intelligent boy to him so that he could teach him
his craft. This narration also states that when the masses declared,
"We believe in the Lord of this boy" , someone told the king, "You were afraid of opposition from three people (the boy, the monk and the minister), now look! The entire nation is against you. "It was then that the king had the trenches dug and announced,"We will say nothing to those who renounce their faith. However, those who do not renounce will be cast into the trenches." It is with reference to this incident that Allah revealed the verses , “ Accursed are the people of the trenches”..
Allama Ibn Kathir rahimahullah has quoted Muqatil rahimahullah who states that the incident of the trenches took place thrice in history. It occurred in Sham during the reign of the Roman emperor Iltanayus, in Persia during the reign of the emperor Nebuchadnezzar ( Bakht Nasr) and in Najran in Yemen during the reign of the king Yusuf Dhu Nuwas. He states that the incident that the Qur'an refers to here in Surah Buruj is the third that occurred in Najran.
Allama Ibn Kathir rahimahullah has also quoted from Ibn Abi Hatim rahimahullah that the incident occurred during the period of 'Fatrah" i.e. after the ascension of
Sayyidina Isa a.s. but before the birth of the Holy Prophet saws an Allah knows best.

Tafseer Tafheem Ul-Quran

Several events have been mentioned in the traditions of the believers having been thrown into pits of blazing fire, which show that such tyrannies have been inflicted many a time in history.
One of the events has been reported by Hadrat Suhaib Rumi from the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace), saying that a king had a magician at his court who on becoming old requested the king to appoint a boy who should learn magic from him. Accordingly the king appointed a boy. But the boy while going to the magician's place and coming hack home also started visiting on the way a monk (who was probably a follower of the Prophet Jesus) and being influenced by his teaching turned a believer. So much so that by his training he acquired miraculous powers. He would heal the blind and cure the lepers. When the king came to know that the boy had believed in the Unity of God, he first put the monk to the sword: then he wanted to kill the boy, but no instrument and no device had any effect on him. At last, the boy said to the king: "If you are bent upon killing me, shoot an arrow at me with the word: Bi-ismi Rahhil-ghulam (in the name of this boy's Lord) in front of the assembled people. and I shall die." The king did as he was told and the boy died. There upon the people cried out that they affirmed faith in the Lord of the boy. The courtiers told the king that the same precisely had happened which he wanted to avoid: the people had forsaken his religion and adopted the boy's religion. At this the king was filled with rage. Consequently, he got pits dug out along the roads, got them filled with fire and ordered all those who refused to renounce the new faith to be thrown into the fire. (Ahmad, Muslim. Nasa'i, TIrmidhi, Ibn Jarir. 'Abdur Razzaq. Ibn Abi Shaibah, Tabarani. 'Ahd hin Humaid)

The second event has been reported from Hadrat 'Ali. He says that a king of old drank wine and committed adultery with his sister resulting in illicit relations between the two. When the secret became known, the king got the announcement made that God had permitted marriage with the sister. When the people refused to believe in it, he started coercing them into accepting by different kinds of punishment; so much so that he began to cast into the pits of fire every such person who refused to concede it. According to Hadrat 'AIi, marriage with the prohibited relations among the fire worshipers has begun since then (Ibn Jarir).
The third event has been related by lbn 'Abbas probably on the basis of the Israelite traditions, saying that the people of Babylon had compelled the children of Israel to give up the religion of the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him: so much so that they cast into pits of fire all those who refused to obey. Ibn Jarir, 'Ahd bin Humaid).

The best known event, however, relates to Najran which has been related by Ibn Hisham, Tabari. Ibn Khaldun. the author of Mujam al-Buldan and other Islamic historians. It is as follows: Tuban Asad Abu Karib, king of Himyar (Yaman), went to Yathrib once where he embraced Judaism under the influence of the Jews, and brought two of the Jewish scholars of Bani Quraizah with him to Yemen. There he propagated Judaism widely. His son Dhu Nuwas succeeded him and he attacked Najran which was a stronghold of the Christians in southern Arabia so as to eliminate Christianity and make the people accept Judaism. Ibn Hisham says that these people were true followers of the Gospel of the Prophet Jesus. In Najran he invited the people to accept Judaism but they refused to obey. There upon he caused a large number of the people to be burnt in the ditches of fire and slew many others with the sword until he had killed nearly twenty thousand of them. Daus Dhu Tha laban an inhabitant of Najran escaped and according to one tradition went to the Byzantine emperor, and according to another to the Negus king of Abyssinia, and told him what had happened. According to the first tradition, the emperor wrote to the king of Abyssinia, and according to the second, the Negus requested the emperor to provide him with a naval force. In any case, an Abyssinian army consisting of seventy thousand soldiers under a general called Aryat, attacked Yemen, Dhu Nuwas was killed, the Jewish rule came to an end, and Yaman become a part of the Christian kingdom of Abyssinia.
The statements of the Islamic historians are not only confirmed by other historical means but they also give many more details. Yemen first came under the Christian Abyssinian domination in 340 A.D. and this domination continued till 378 A.D. The Christian missionaries started entering Yaman in that period. About the same time, a man named Faymiyun (Phemion), who was a righteous, earnest, ascetic man and possessed miraculous powers, arrived in Yemen and by his preaching against idol-worship converted the people of Najran to Christianity. These people were ruled by three chiefs: Sayyid, who was the principal chief like the tribal elders and responsible for external affairs, political agreements and command of the forces, 'Aqib, who looked after the internal affairs and Usquf (Bishop), the religious guide. In southern Arabia Najran commanded great importance, being a major trade and industrial center with tussore, leather and the armament industries. The well-known Yarnanite wrapper and cloak (Yemeni) was also manufactured here. On this very basis, Dhu Nuwas attacked this important place not only for religious but also for political and economic reasons. He put to death Harithah (called Arethas by the Syrian historians), Sayyid of Najran, killed his two daughters in front of his wife Romah and compelled her to drink their blood and then put even her to death. He took out the bones of Bishop Paul from the grave and burnt them, and ordered women, men, children, aged people, priests and monks, all to be thrown into the pits of fire. The total number of the people thus killed has been estimated between twenty and forty thousand. This happened in October, 523 A.D. At last, in 525 A.D. the Abyssinians attacked Yemen and put an end to Dhu Nuwas and his Himyarite kingdom. This is confirmed by the Hisn Ghurab inscription which the modern archaeologists have unearthed in Yemen.

In several Christian writings of the 6th century A.D. details of the event relating to the people of the ditch" have been given, some of which are contemporary and reported from eye witnesses. Authors of three of these books were contemporaries of the event. They were Procopeus, Cosmos Indicopleustis, who were translating Greek book of Ptolemy under command of the Negus Elesboan at that time and resided at Adolis, a city on the sea-coast of Abyssinia, and Johannes Malala from whom several of the later historians have related this event. After this, Johannes of Ephesus (d. 585 A.D) has related the story of the persecution of the Christians of Najran in his history of the Church from a letter of Bishop Mar Simeon who was a contemporary reporter of this event. Mar Simeon wrote this letter to Abbot von Gabula; in it Simeon has reported this event with reference to the statements of the Yarnanite eye-witnesses present on the occasion. This letter was published in 1881 A.D from Rome and in 1890 A.D. in the memoirs of the martyrs of Christianity Jacobian Patriarch Dionysius and Zacharia of Mitylene have in their Syriac histories also related this event. Ya`qub Saruji also in his book about the Christians of Najran has made mention of it. Bishop Pulus of Edessa's elegy on those who perished in Najran, is still in existence. An English translation of the Syriac kitab al-Himyarin (Book of the Himyarites) was published in 1924 from London, which confirms the statements of the Muslim historians. In the British Museum there are some Abyssinian manuscripts relating to that period or a period close to it, which support this story. Philby in his travelogue entitled "Arabian Highlands", writes: Among the people of Najran the place is still well known where the event of the people of the ditch (ashab al-ukhdud) had taken place. Close by Umm Kharaq there can still be seen some pictures carved in the rocks, and the present day people of Najran also know the place where the cathedral of Najran stood.
The Abyssinian Christians after capturing Najran had built a church here resembling the Ka`bah, by which they wanted to divert pilgrimage from the Ka`bah at Makkah to it. Its priests and keepers wore turbans and regarded it as a sacred sanctuary. The Roman empire also sent monetary aid for this "ka`bah". The priests of this very "Ka`bah" of Najran had visited the Holy Prophet (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) under the leadership of their Sayyid, `Aqib and Bishop for a discussion with him and the famous event of the mubahala (trial through prayer) took place as referred to in Al-Imran: 61. (For details. see E.N.'s 29 and 55 of Al-Imran)
In these verses those of Allah Almighty's attributes have been mentioned on account of which He alone deserves that one should believe in Him, and the people who feel displeased at one's believing in Him, are wicked and unjust.

Tafseer Abdullah Yusuf

Revelation -AlIah's Truth-can pierce through the hardest
crusts, and ever lead us back to the centre and goal of our life: for it separates Good from Evil definitely. It is not mere play or amusement. any more than the Sky or the Earth is. It helps us in the highest issues of our life.

Tafseer Dr. Farooq Azam

In conclusion, it is pointed out that just as the falling of rain from the sky, the sprouting of plants and crops from the earth are not child’s play, but a serious task, similarly the truths expressed in the Qur’an are no jest, but a firm and unchangeable reality.

Tafseer Ibn Abbas

86:13
This is the reason why Allah swore: (Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word) a true exposition; it is also said this means: it is a judgement from Allah.
86:14
(It is no pleasantry) it is no falsehood.

Tafseer Jalalain

86:13
Assuredly it, the Qur’ān, is a decisive word, distinguishing between truth and falsehood
86:14
And it is not a jest, frivolity or falsehood.

Tafseer Ma’arif Ul-Quran

In other words, the Qur'An is truly a Decisive Word that decides between truth and falsehood, and there is no room for any doubt in it. Sayyidna 'Ali ra. says that he heard the Holy Prophet as saying about the Holy Qur'an:
[It is] a book which describes the stories of past communities and [it contains] injunctions for future generations. It is truly a Decisive Word. It is no joke.

Tafseer Mufti Taqi Usmani

When they were sitting by it

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

"By the sky from which rain falls and by the earth which cleaves!" i.e. when a seed germinates, it cleaves the earth apart to sprout. Using these two oaths to strengthen the affirmation, Allah declares,'it (the Qur'an) is definitely a decisive speech and it is no joke

Tafseer Tafheem Ul-Quran

That is, just as the falling of rain froth the sky and the splitting of the earth to put out shoots is no jest but a serious reality, so also the news which the Qur'an gives that man has to return to his God is no jest but a definite and decisive reality and an unchangeable truth which has to be fulfilled.

And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,(8)

Tafseer Abdullah Yusuf

And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise.

Tafseer Dr. Farooq Azam

They tortured them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praise Worthy.

Tafseer Ibn Abbas

(They had naught against them) against the believers nor did they find any fault with them (save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty) in His retribution against those who disbelieve in Him, (the Owner of Praise) for those who believe in Him.

Tafseer Jalalain

And all that they were vindictive towards them of was that they believed in God, the mighty, in His kingdom, the praised.

Tafseer Ma’arif Ul-Quran

And they had blamed them for nothing but that they
believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Worthy of All Praise

Tafseer Mufti Taqi Usmani

They punished them for nothing but that they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Worthy of All Praise

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

"They found no fault in them (the believers) except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, Most Worthy of praise." Allah states that the disbelievers had absolutely no right to kill the believers because the believers had not committed any crime. The only "crime" that the disbelievers saw was that the believers believed in Allah, which is not a crime at all but rather the obligatory duty of every person.

Tafseer Tafheem Ul-Quran

Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy

- It is suggested that the persecutors will richly deserve to be punished in the fire of hell. The punishment will be far more real than the undeserved cruelty which they inflicted on men for their faith in the One True God.

The enemies of the Muslims who perpetrate such acts against the Muslims merely consider the strength and power they wield and fail to realise that Allah Ta'ala is more powerful than them and that He has knowledge of everything they do. Allah shall punish them for their atrocities.They should never think that their deeds will be left behind in this world and forgotten in the next. Allah refers to this when he concluded the episode by saying, "Allah is Witness to everything."

Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire.(10) [Al-Burooj: 10]

Translation Sahih International

Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire.(10)

Tafseer Abdullah Yusuf

The "Chastisement of the Burning Fire" has been mentioned here in addition to the "Penalty of Hell", This assumes a special significance in the background of the cruel burning of the Faithful by the "makers of the pit", These criminals would be duly retributed by being subjected to a similar kind of suffering that they had caused their innocent victims.

Tafseer Dr. Farooq Azam

Those who persecute the believing men and believing women and do not repent, shall receive the punishment of hell, wherein they shall have the punishment of conflagration.

Tafseer Ibn Abbas

(lo! they who persecute) those who burn and torture with fire (believing men) men who are true in their faith (and believing women) who are true in their faith (and repent not) from their idolatry and disbelief, (theirs verily will be the doom of hell) in the hereafter, (and theirs the doom of burning) in the fire; and it is also said: in the life of the world, for allah had burned them with the fire. these were people from najran, and it is said from mosul, who tortured and consequently killed a group of believers with fire in attempt to make them renounce their religion. the name of the king of these people is yusuf, and it is said his name is dhu'l-nuwas.

Indeed those who persecute believing men and believing women, by having them burnt, then do not repent, there will be for them the chastisement of hell, [in return] for their disbelief, and there will [also] be for them the chastisement of burning, that is to say, the chastisement for their having had the believers burnt, in the hereafter; but it is also said [that there is this chastisement for them] in this world, as when the fire rose up and burnt them, as [mentioned] above.

Tafseer Ma’arif Ul-Quran

- إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا (Surely, those who persecuted the believing men and the believing women, then did not repent,...85:10) This verse describes the torment of the wrong-doers who burned the Muslims in the fire pit only on account of their faith. The description points out two things: [ 1] فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ them there is the torment of Jahannam) and [ 2] وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ (and for them there is the torment of burning). The second sentence may be treated as explicative of the first sentence, a statement for emphasis. It signifies that they will be put into Hell and will have to suffer eternal torment of the fire. Another possible interpretation is that the second statement describes the wrong-doers' torment in this world, as is narrated in some reports. The believers, who had been cast in fire pits, were spared the torture of fire, in that the souls of the believers were taken out before the fire could touch them. Only their dead bodies were lying in the fiery furnace. After that the fire flared up so high that it spread out wildly through the city and burned all those who were watching the fun of burning the Muslims. Only Yusuf Dhu Nuwas managed to run away, and threw himself into the sea in order to save himself from the rage of the fire, but he got drowned and died. [ Mazhari ].

Attached to the torment of Hell and the torment of burning for the wrong-doers is the restrictive phrase: ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا (then did not repent). That is, this torment is for those who did not repent of their deed and did not offer taubah. Thus this part of the verse invites people to repent. Sayyidna Hasan (رض) states: |"Look at Allah's compassion and benevolence. They burned Allah's friends alive, yet He invites them towards repentance and forgiveness.|" [ Ibn Kathir ].

Tafseer Mufti Taqi Usmani

Surely, those who persecuted the believing men and the believing women, then did not repent, for them there is the torment of Jahannam (Hell), and for them there is the torment of burning.

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

Allah sounds a warning to those people who harm the believers. This warning is general and does not specifically apply to the " people of the trenches" only. Concerning these people, Allah says, "Verily those who harm believing men and believing women and do not repent, for them shall be the punishment of Hell and the punishment of burning. "The verse clearly states that such people will suffer this punishment if they do not repent i.e. if they do not accept Islam and show remorse for their deeds. Irrespective of what a person does as a disbeliever, all his sins are forgiven when he sincerely accepts Islam. Allah mentions this after the incident of the " people of the trenches indicating that He would have forgiven even them if they repented and accepted Him as their Lord. Sayyidina Hasan Basri radi Allahu anhu states,
"Look at Allah's compassion and benevolence. They killed Allah's friends, yet He invites them towards repentance and forgiveness."

Tafseer Tafheem Ul-Quran

"punishment by burning" has been mentioned separately from the torment of hell because they had burnt the oppressed people to death by casting them into the pits of fire. probably this will be a different and severer kind of fire from the fire of hell in which those people will be burnt.

- Allah then mentioned the believers who did not renounce their religion despite being tortured, saying: (lo! those who believe) in allah (and do good works) privately between themselves and their lord, (theirs will be gardens beneath which) beneath its trees and habitations (rivers flow) rivers of wine, water, honey and milk flow.

Allah then speaks about the pious believers when He says, "Most certainly, those who believe and who carry out good deeds shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the supreme success." This verse assures the believers that the difficulties of this world are insignificant because they will cause one to attain the "supreme success" of the Hereafter. Burning in a fire in this world will last for only a very short duration, while the bliss and bounties of Heaven will be perpetual.

Tafseer Ma’arif Ul-Quran

The seizure of your Lord is severe indeed!

Tafseer Mufti Taqi Usmani

The seizure of your Lord is severe indeed!

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

Allah describes His power in the above verses. Allah says, "Undoubtedly, the grasp of your Lord is severe indeed" . Disbelieving nations should not be fooled when Allah's punishment does not over take them swiftly. A delay in punishment does not mean that it will not arrive. Allah has appointed a time when they will be punished and when this time arrives, they will be swept over very severely. Sayyidina Abu Musa Ash'ari radi Allahu anhu narrates that the Holy Prophet saws said, "Verily, Allah grants respite to the oppressor until the time when He seizes him and then allows no reprieve " The Holy Prophet saws then recited the verse of Surah Hud where Allah Ta'ala says, "Such is the grasp of your Lord when He seized a town that is oppressive. Indeed His grasp is painful and severe." [ Bukhari v. 2 p.678]

Tafseer Tafheem Ul-Quran

"He is all-forgiving": if a person repents and reforms himself, he can hope to be received by Allah in his mercy. "He is all-loving", i.e. He has no enmity with His creatures that He would subject them to torment without any reason, but He loves the creatures He has created and punishes them only when they do not give up the attitude of rebellion against Him.

This verse makes it clear to those
who deny Judgment Day that just as Allah had the power to create people the
first time, He is perfectly Capable of resurrecting them on the Day of Judgment.
It is therefore foolish to regard Judgment Day as something far fetched.

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

"Nothing can stop Allah
from doing whatever He wills. He is at liberty to forgive the sinners, to express His love for His pious bondsmen and to punish the disbelievers.

Tafseer Tafheem Ul-Quran

"He is all-forgiving": if a person repents and reforms himself, he can hope to be received by Allah in his mercy. "He is all-loving", i.e. He has no enmity with His creatures that He would subject them to torment without any reason, but He loves the creatures He has created and punishes them only when they do not give up the attitude of rebellion against Him.

Translation Sahih International

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -(17)

Tafseer Abdullah Yusuf

In contrast to the real all-embracing. and eternal power of Allah, what are the forces of man at their best? Two examples are mentioned. (I) Pharaoh was a proud monarch of a powerful kingdom, with resources and organisation, material , moral . and intellectual. as good as any in the world . When he pitted himself against Allah's Prophet. he and his forces were destroyed. (2) The Thamud were great builders and had a high standard of material civilization. But they defied the law of Allah and perished.

Tafseer Dr. Farooq Azam

If they are proud of the strength of their hosts, they should know that the hosts of Pharaoh and Thamûd were even stronger and more numerous. Therefore, they should learn a lesson from the fate, these people of the past met.

Tafseer Ibn Abbas

(Hath there come unto thee) o muhammad-he asked his prophet about this because he did not inform him about it before and then he did-(the story of the hosts)

Tafseer Jalalain

- Have you, o Muhammad (s), received the story of the hosts

Tafseer Ma’arif Ul-Quran

Has there come to you the story of the forces

Tafseer Mufti Taqi Usmani

Has there come to you the story of the forces

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

Allah asks a rhetorical question to warn mankind against adopting the ways of the previously destroyed people such as phara'oh (Fir'oun) and nation of the Thamud. Instead of accepting the message of Allah's Prophets these people were haughty and chose to deny Oneness of Allah and the message of the Prophets .

Tafseer Tafheem Ul-Quran

The address is directed to the people who in their false pride of having powerful hosts, are breaking the law of God on His earth. They are being warned. As if to say: "do you know what evil fate was sent before by those who broke the hounds set by Allah on the strength of the power of their hosts”

When he pitted himself against Allah's Prophet he and his forces were destroyed. (2) The Thamud were great builders and had a high standard of material civilization.

If they are proud of the strength of their hosts, they should know that the hosts of Pharaoh and Thamûd were even stronger and more numerous. Therefore, they should learn a lesson from the fate, these people of the past met.

Tafseer Ibn Abbas

Of pharaoh and (the tribe of) thamud) and of those before and after them, what we did to them when they disbelieved?

Tafseer Jalalain

- Pharaoh and Thamūd? (fir‘awna wa-thamūda substitutes for al-junūdi) — the mention of ‘pharaoh’ suffices to also include his followers; their ‘story’ is that they were destroyed for their disbelief, and this is meant as a warning for those who deny the prophet (s) and the qur’ān, that they may be admonished [thereby].

Tafseer Ma’arif Ul-Quran

- Of Fir'aun (the Pharaoh) and Thamud?

Of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and Thamud?

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

- Allah states further,
"Has the news of the armies reached you, of phara'oh (Fir'oun) and the Thamud? Rather the disbelievers are ( persistent) in denial." Allah asks a rhetorical question to warn mankind against adopting the ways of the previously destroyed people such as phara'oh (Fir'oun) and nation of the Thamud. Instead of accepting the message of Allah's Prophets these people were haughty and chose to deny Oneness of Allah and the message of the Prophets a.s..Such people should never think that Allah is unaware of their deeds because "Allah encompasses them from all over."

In spite of the great examples of the past by which human might and skill were shown to have availed nothing when the law of Allah was broken. The unbelievers persist (in all ages) in defying that law. But Allah will know how to deal with them.

Ayat 22

فِى لَوْحٍۢ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ.(22)

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.(22) [Al-Burooj: 22]

Back to surah / Surah 085 · Al-Burooj / Ayah 22

Section 01

Traditional understanding

Translation, tafseer from classical and modern scholars, transliteration, word-by-word grammar.

Translation Sahih International

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.(22)

Tafseer Abdullah Yusuf

- "Inscribed in a Tablet preserved", i.e. Allah's message is not ephemeral. It is eternal. The "Tablet"' is "'preserved" or guarded from corruption: for Allah"s message must endure forever. That message is the "'Mother of the book":

Tafseer Dr. Farooq Azam

The Qur’an that they are belying is unchangeable: it is inscribed in the Preserved Tablet, which cannot be destroyed.

Tafseer Ibn Abbas

- (On a guarded tablet) He says: it is written on a tablet that is protected from the devils'.

Tafseer Jalalain

In a tablet, suspended above the seventh heaven, preserved (read mahfūzin), from all devils and from
having any of its contents altered; it is a high as the distance between the earth and the heaven, and as wide as the distance between the east and the west, made of white pearls — as stated by Ibn ‘Abbās, may God be pleased with both [him and his father, ‘Abbās].

Tafseer Ma’arif Ul-Quran

(Recorded) in the Preserved Tablet (Lauh Mahfuz).

Tafseer Mufti Taqi Usmani

(Recorded) in the Preserved Tablet (Laufi Mahfuz).

Tafseer Shaikh Ashiq Ilahi

"It is the Glorious Qur'an in the Lowhum Mahfudh ( protected tablet). "The Qur'an is eternally preserved in the "Lowhu Mahfudh" ("The Protected Tablet" ) in the heavens and it cannot be altered. It was brought by a trustworthy angel to a trustworthy Nabi (Prophet) - Allah has also assumed the responsibility of preserving it. Therefore, the denial of the disbelievers will not affect its authenticity in the least.

Tafseer Tafheem Ul-Quran

"The writ of the Qur'an is unchangeable and imperishable. it is inscribed in the preserved tablet of God. which cannot be corrupted in any way whatever is written in it, has to be fulfilled: even the whole world together cannot avert its fulfillment.
