Tafsir (Commentary)

Name

This Surah takes its name from v. 80.

Period of Revelation

It is clear from its topics and style that the period of its revelation is about the same as that of Surah Ibrahim, for two things are quite prominent in its background. First, it appears from the repeated warnings in this Surah that in spite of the fact that the Holy Prophet had been propagating the Message for many years, his people in general had not shown any inclination towards its acceptance nay, they had become more and more obdurate and stubborn in their antagonism, enmity and ridicule with the passage of time. Secondly, by that time the Holy Prophet had begun to feel a little tired of making strenuous efforts to eradicate disbelief and opposition of his people. That is why Allah has consoled and comforted him over and over again by way of encouragement.

Topics and the Central Theme

Though the main topics of the surah are:

  1. warning to those who rejected his Message, opposed it tooth and nail, and ridiculed him, and

  2. comfort and encouragement to the Holy Prophet,

It does not mean that this Surah does not contain admonition and instructions. As a matter of fact, the Quran never confines itself to mere warning; rebuke and censure, but resorts to precept in every suitable place. Accordingly, this Surah contains brief arguments for Tauhid on the one hand, and admonition in the story of Adam and Satan on the other.

Surah Al-Hijr - The Rocky Tract
Ayah 1
A. L. R. These are the Ayats of Revelation,- of a Qur'an that makes things clear.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الر ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ وَقُرْآنٍ مُّبِينٍ
Ayah 2
Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to Allah's will) in Islam.
رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ
Ayah 3
Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them).
ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا وَيُلْهِهِمُ الْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Ayah 4
Never did We destroy a population that had not a term decreed and assigned beforehand.
وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
Ayah 5
Neither can a people anticipate its term, nor delay it.
مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ
Ayah 6
They say: "O thou to whom the Message is being revealed! truly thou art mad (or possessed)!
وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ
Ayah 7
"Why bringest thou not angels to us if it be that thou hast the Truth?"
لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
Ayah 8
We send not the angels down except for just cause: if they came (to the ungodly), behold! no respite would they have!
مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوا إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ
Ayah 9
We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ
Ayah 10
We did send messengers before thee amongst the religious sects of old:
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ الْأَوَّلِينَ
Ayah 11
But never came a messenger to them but they mocked him.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ
Ayah 12
Even so do we let it creep into the hearts of the sinners -
كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
Ayah 13
That they should not believe in the (Message); but the ways of the ancients have passed away.
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
Ayah 14
Even if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue (all day) ascending therein,
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ فَظَلُّوا فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ
Ayah 15
They would only say: "Our eyes have been intoxicated: Nay, we have been bewitched by sorcery."
لَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ
Ayah 16
It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders;
وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِرِينَ
Ayah 17
And (moreover) We have guarded them from every cursed devil:
وَحَفِظْنَاهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ
Ayah 18
But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see).
إِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ
Ayah 19
And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance.
وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ
Ayah 20
And We have provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible.
وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِقِينَ
Ayah 21
And there is not a thing but its (sources and) treasures (inexhaustible) are with Us; but We only send down thereof in due and ascertainable measures.
وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَائِنُهُ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
Ayah 22
And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores.
وَأَرْسَلْنَا الرِّيَاحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَسْقَيْنَاكُمُوهُ وَمَا أَنتُمْ لَهُ بِخَازِنِينَ
Ayah 23
And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: it is We Who remain inheritors (after all else passes away).
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوَارِثُونَ
Ayah 24
To Us are known those of you who hasten forward, and those who lag behind.
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ
Ayah 25
Assuredly it is thy Lord Who will gather them together: for He is perfect in Wisdom and Knowledge.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ
Ayah 26
We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape;
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
Ayah 27
And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.
وَالْجَانَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ السَّمُومِ
Ayah 28
Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud moulded into shape;
وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
Ayah 29
"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."
فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ
Ayah 30
So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:
فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ
Ayah 31
Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.
إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ
Ayah 32
(Allah) said: "O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?"
قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ
Ayah 33
(Iblis) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape."
قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
Ayah 34
(Allah) said: "Then get thee out from here; for thou art rejected, accursed.
قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ
Ayah 35
"And the curse shall be on thee till the day of Judgment."
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Ayah 36
(Iblis) said: "O my Lord! give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised."
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
Ayah 37
(Allah) said: "Respite is granted thee
قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنظَرِينَ
Ayah 38
"Till the Day of the Time appointed."
إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ
Ayah 39
(Iblis) said: "O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,-
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Ayah 40
"Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace)."
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
Ayah 41
(Allah) said: "This (way of My sincere servants) is indeed a way that leads straight to Me.
قَالَ هَـٰذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ
Ayah 42
"For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee."
إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ
Ayah 43
And verily, Hell is the promised abode for them all!
وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Ayah 44
To it are seven gates: for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned.
لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُومٌ
Ayah 45
The righteous (will be) amid gardens and fountains (of clear-flowing water).
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
Ayah 46
(Their greeting will be): "Enter ye here in peace and security."
ادْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ آمِنِينَ
Ayah 47
And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury: (they will be) brothers (joyfully) facing each other on thrones (of dignity).
وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَانًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ
Ayah 48
There no sense of fatigue shall touch them, nor shall they (ever) be asked to leave.
لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ
Ayah 49
Tell My servants that I am indeed the Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful;
نَبِّئْ عِبَادِي أَنِّي أَنَا الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Ayah 50
And that My Penalty will be indeed the most grievous Penalty.
وَأَنَّ عَذَابِي هُوَ الْعَذَابُ الْأَلِيمُ

Tell them about the guests of Abraham.
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَن ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
Ayah 52
When they entered his presence and said, "Peace!" He said, "We feel afraid of you!"
إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلَامًا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمْ وَجِلُونَ
Ayah 53
They said: "Fear not! We give thee glad tidings of a son endowed with wisdom."
قَالُوا لَا تَوْجَلْ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَامٍ عَلِيمٍ
Ayah 54
He said: "Do ye give me glad tidings that old age has seized me? Of what, then, is your good news?"
قَالَ أَبَشَّرْتُمُونِي عَلَىٰ أَن مَّسَّنِيَ الْكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ
Ayah 55
They said: "We give thee glad tidings in truth: be not then in despair!"
قَالُوا بَشَّرْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ الْقَانِطِينَ
Ayah 56
He said: "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord, but such as go astray?"

Ayah 57
Abraham said: "What then is the business on which ye (have come), O ye messengers (of Allah)?"
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ
Ayah 58
They said: "We have been sent to a people (deep) in sin,
قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ
Ayah 59
"Excepting the adherents of Lut: them we are certainly (charged) to save (from harm),- All -
إِلَّا آلَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Ayah 60
"Except his wife, who, We have ascertained, will be among those who will lag behind."
إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَا ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ
Ayah 61
At length when the messengers arrived among the adherents of Lut,
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ آلَ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلُونَ
Ayah 62
He said: "Ye appear to be uncommon folk."
قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ
Ayah 63
They said: "Yea, we have come to thee to accomplish that of which they doubt.
قَالُوا بَلْ جِئْنَاكَ بِمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ
Ayah 64
"We have brought to thee that which is inevitably due, and assuredly we tell the truth.
وَأَتَيْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ
Ayah 65
"Then travel by night with thy household, when a portion of the night (yet remains), and do thou bring up the rear: let no one amongst you look back, but pass on whither ye are ordered."

Ayah 66
And We made known this decree to him, that the last remnants of those (sinners) should be cut off by the morning.
وَقَضَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ ذَٰلِكَ الْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ
Ayah 67
The inhabitants of the city came in (mad) joy (at news of the young men).
وَجَاءَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ
Ayah 68
Lut said: "These are my guests: disgrace me not:
قَالَ إِنَّ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ ضَيْفِي فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ
Ayah 69
"But fear Allah, and shame me not."
وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ
Ayah 70
They said: "Did we not forbid thee (to speak) for all and sundry?"
قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ
Ayah 71
He said: "There are my daughters (to marry), if ye must act (so)."
قَالَ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ بَنَاتِي إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ
Ayah 72
Verily, by thy life (O Prophet), in their wild intoxication, they wander in distraction, to and fro.
لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
Ayah 73
But the (mighty) Blast overtook them before morning,
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ
Ayah 74
And We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay.
فَجَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
Ayah 75
Behold! in this are Signs for those who by tokens do understand.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
Ayah 76
And the (cities were) right on the high-road.
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ
Ayah 77
Behold! in this is a sign for those who believed.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Ayah 78
And the Companions of the Wood were also wrong-doers;
وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ لَظَالِمِينَ
Ayah 79
So We exacted retribution from them. They were both on an open highway, plain to see.
فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
Ayah 80
The Companions of the Rocky Tract also rejected the messengers:
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Ayah 81
We sent them Our Signs, but they persisted in turning away from them.
وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ آيَاتِنَا فَكَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ
Ayah 82
Out of the mountains did they hew (their) edifices, (feeling themselves) secure.
وَكَانُوا يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا آمِنِينَ
Ayah 83
But the (mighty) Blast seized them of a morning,
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ
Ayah 84
And of no avail to them was all that they did (with such art and care)!
فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
Ayah 85
We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, but for just ends. And the Hour is surely coming (when this will be manifest). So overlook (any human faults) with gracious forgiveness.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ ۖ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيلَ
Ayah 86
For verily it is thy Lord who is the Master-Creator, knowing all things.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَلِيمُ
Ayah 87
And We have bestowed upon thee the Seven Oft-repeated (verses) and the Grand Qur'an.
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ
Ayah 88
Strain not thine eyes. (Wistfully) at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them, nor grieve over them: but lower thy wing (in gentleness) to the believers.
لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Ayah 89
And say: "I am indeed he that warneth openly and without ambiguity,"-
وَقُلْ إِنِّي أَنَا النَّذِيرُ الْمُبِينُ
Ayah 90
(Of just such wrath) as We sent down on those who divided (Scripture into arbitrary parts),-
كَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِمِينَ
Ayah 91
(So also on such) as have made Qur'an into shreds (as they please).
الَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِينَ
Ayah 92
Therefore, by the Lord, We will, of a surety, call them to account,
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْأَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Ayah 93
For all their deeds.
عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
Ayah 94
Therefore expound openly what thou art commanded, and turn away from those who join false gods with Allah.
فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
Ayah 95
For sufficient are We unto thee against those who scoff,-
إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ
Ayah 96
Those who adopt, with Allah, another god: but soon will they come to know.
الَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا آخَرَ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Ayah 97
We do indeed know how thy heart is distressed at what they say.
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ
Ayah 98
But celebrate the praises of thy Lord, and be of those who prostrate themselves in adoration.
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ
Ayah 99
And serve thy Lord until there come unto thee the Hour that is Certain.
وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ

Quran

is the holy scripture of Islam. Muslims believe that it is the literal word of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎), revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) over a period of 23 years. The Quran is composed of 114 Suras (chapters) and contains 6,236 Ayat (verses). Muslim beliefs and practices are based on the Quran and the Sunnah (the teachings and example of Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم)).

Meccan Surahs

The Meccan Surahs are the earliest revelations that were sent down to the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم). They were revealed in Mecca, hence their name. These revelations form the foundation of the Islamic faith and contain guidance for Muslims on how to live their lives. The Meccan Surahs are also notable for their poetic beauty and lyrical prose.

Medinan Surahs

The Medinan Surahs of the noble Quran are the latest 24 Surahs that, according to Islamic tradition, were revealed at Medina after Prophet Muhammad's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hijra from Mecca. These Surahs were revealed by Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) when the Muslim community was larger and more developed, as opposed to their minority position in Mecca.
