What does Yaseen mean in Quran? The surah focuses on establishing the Qur'an as a divine source, and it warns of the fate of those who mock God's revelations and are stubborn. How many Rakats are in Jummah prayer at home? Is DHUL qarnayn a prophet? What does Surah Kahf mean?
Al-Kahf Arabic:????? Who was Daqyanoos? In the last year of his reign, Decius co-ruled with his son Herennius Etruscus, until they were both killed by the Goths in the Battle of Abritus. What is net plant and equipment? How do you tighten the top nut on a shock? Co-authors Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.
And We will certainly reduce whatever is on it to barren ground. And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.
Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder? Grant us mercy from Yourself and guide us rightly through our ordeal. So We caused them to fall into a dead sleep 1 in the cave for many years,. So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years. We hope to make it easy for everyone to read, study, and learn The Noble Quran.

Qaala lahoo saahibuhoo wa huwa yuhaawiruhooo akafarta billazee khalaqaka min turaabin summa min nutfatin summa sawwaaka rajulaa Laakinaa Huwal laahu Rabbee wa laa ushriku bi Rabbeee ahadaa Although you see me less than you in wealth and children,.
It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a calamity from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground,. Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], so you would never be able to seek it. And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allah, nor could he defend himself.
There the authority is [completely] for Allah, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome. And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds.
And Allah is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability. Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. Wa yawma nusaiyirul jibaala wa taral arda baariza tanw wa hasharnaahum falam nughaadir minhum ahadaa And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth prominent, and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.
But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment. What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it? And your Lord does injustice to no one. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.
I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction. And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein.
And they will not find from it a way elsewhere. And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them. Wa maa nursilul mursaleena illaa mubashshireena wa munzireen; wa yujaadilul lazeena kafaroo bilbaatili liyudhidoo bihil haqqa wattakhazooo Aayaatee wa maaa unziroo huzuwaa And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners.
And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule. And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness.
And if you invite them to guidance — they will never be guided, then — ever. And your Lord is the Forgiving, full of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment.
Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape. And those cities — We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.
But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue. Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan — that I should mention it. And they found a servant from among Our servants to whom we had given mercy from us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge. And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?
So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, al-Khidh r tore it open. You have certainly done a grave thing. So they set out, until when they met a boy, al-Khidh r killed him. You have certainly done a deplorable thing. You have obtained from me an excuse.
So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so al-Khidh r restored it.
I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience. As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.
And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. Faradnaa any yubdila humaa Rabbuhumaa khairam minhu zakaatanw wa aqraba ruhmaa So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord.
And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience. And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Indeed We established him upon the earth, and We gave him to everything a way. So he followed a way. Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people.
Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment. But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of Paradise, and we will speak to him from our command with ease. Then he followed a way. Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield. Kazaalika wa qad ahatnaa bimaa ladaihi khubraa And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.
Hattaaa izaa balagha bainas saddaini wajada min doonihimaa qawmal laa yakaa doona yafqahoona qawlaa Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier? So Gog and Magog were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration. And We will leave them that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.
And We will present Hell that Day to the Disbelievers, on display —. Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from My remembrance, and they were not able to hear.
Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging. Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance.
That is their recompense — Hell — for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule. Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds — they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,.
Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord — let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone. Chapter — 18 Which was revealed in Makkah. What has been mentioned about the Virtues of this Surah and the first and last ten Ayat, which provide protection from the Dajjal.
He looked, and saw a fog or cloud overhead. He mentioned this to the Prophet , who said:. According to the version recorded by At-Tirmidhi,. Whoever memorizes three Ayat from the beginning of Al-Kahf. Whoever recites Surat Al-Kahf on Friday, it will illuminate him with light from one Friday to the next.
Whoever recites Surat Al-Kahf as it was revealed, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection. All praise is due to Allah, Who has sent down to His servant the Book, and has not placed therein any crookedness.
He has made it straight to give warning of a severe punishment from Him, and to give good news to the believers, who do righteous deeds, that they shall have a fair reward. They shall abide therein forever. No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. Mighty is the word that comes out of their mouths.
They utter nothing but a lie. In the beginning of this Tafsir, we mentioned that Allah, praises His Holy Self at the beginning and end of matters, for He is the One to be praised in all circumstances, all praise and thanks be to Him, in the beginning and in the end. He has made it a Book that is straight, neither distorted nor confusion therein. It clearly guides to a straight path, plain and manifest, giving a warning to the disbelievers and good news to the believers.
This is why Allah says:. But He has made it balanced and straightforward as He said;. For none can punish as He punishes and none is stronger or more reliable than Him. They shall abide therein means, in what Allah rewards them with, and that is Paradise, where they will live forever. No knowledge have they of such a thing, meaning, this thing that they have fabricated and made up. Mighty is the word This highlights the seriousness and enormity of the lie they have made up.
Allah says:. Hence Allah says:. Reason why this Surah was revealed. Muhammad bin Ishaq mentioned the reason why this Surah was revealed. They are the people of the first Book, and they have more knowledge of the Prophets than we do.
They described him to them and told them some of what he had said. Ask him about some young men in ancient times, what was their story For theirs is a strange and wondrous tale. Ask him about a man who travelled a great deal and reached the east and the west of the earth. What was his story And ask him about the Ruh soul or spirit — what is it If he tells you about these things, then he is a Prophet, so follow him, but if he does not tell you, then he is a man who is making things up, so deal with him as you see fit.
The Messenger of Allah said,. I will tell you tomorrow about what you have asked me. Then Jibril came to him from Allah with the Surah about the companions of Al-Kahf, which also contained a rebuke for feeling sad about the idolators. The Surah also told him about the things they had asked him about, the young men and the traveler.
The question about the Ruh was answered in the Ayah;. Perhaps, you would kill yourself in grief, over their footsteps, because they believe not in this narration. Verily, we have made that which is on earth an adornment for it, in order that We may test which of them are best in deeds.
And verily, We shall make all that is on it bare, dry soil. Do not feel sorry because the Idolators do not believe Allah consoles His Messenger for his sorrow over the idolators because they would not believe and keep away from him.
He also said:. It may be that you are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers. Whoever goes the right way, then he goes the right way only for the benefit of himself.
And whoever goes astray, then he strays at his own loss, so do not destroy yourself in sorrow for them. This World is the Place of Trial Then Allah tells us that He has made this world a temporary abode, adorned with transient beauty, and He made it a place of trial, not a place of settlement. So He says:. This world is sweet and green, and Allah makes you generations succeeding one another, so He is watching what you will do.
Beware of the beguilements of this world and beware of women, for the first affliction that Children of Israel suffered from was that of women. Then Allah tells us that this world will pass away and come to an end, as He says:. When the young men fled for refuge to Al-Kahf.
Bestow on us mercy from Yourself, and facilitate for us our affair in the right way! Therefore, We covered up their hearing in Al-Kahf for a number of years. Then We raised them up, that We might test which of the two parties was best at calculating the time period they tarried. He says:. He is not incapable of doing more amazing things than the story of the people of the Cave. Similarly, Ibn Jurayj reported Mujahid saying about,. Remember when the young men fled for refuge to Al-Kahf.
So they fled taking refuge in the cave of a mountain, where they hid from their people. When they entered the cave, they asked Allah to show mercy and kindness towards them,. Our Lord! As was reported in the Hadith:.
Therefore, We covered up their hearing in the cave for a number of years. Then We raised them up from that slumber, and one of them went out with his Dirhams silver coins to buy them some food, as it will be discussed in more detail below.
Then We raised them up, that We might test which of the two parties meaning, the two parties who disputed about them,. It was said that this refers to how long they stayed in the cave. We narrate unto you their story with truth: Truly, they were young men who believed in their Lord Allah , and We increased them in guidance. These our people have taken for worship gods other than Him. Why do they not bring for them a clear authority And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah.
Their Belief in Allah and their Retreat from their People. From here Allah begins to explain the story in detail. He states that they were boys or young men, and that they were more accepting of the truth and more guided than the elders who had become stubbornly set in their ways and clung to the religion of falsehood. For the same reason, most of those who responded to Allah and His Messenger were young people.
As for the elders of Quraysh, most of them kept to their religion and only a few of them became Muslims. So Allah tells us that the people of the cave were young men. From this and other similar Ayat, several scholars, such as Al-Bukhari and others, understood that faith may increase, that it may vary in degrees, and that it may fluctuate.
While as for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance and bestows on them their Taqwa. It seems that they lived before the time of Christianity altogether, because if they had been Christians, the Jewish rabbis would not have cared about preserving because of their differences.
This indicates that this story was something recorded in the books of the People of the Book, and that it came before Christianity. And Allah knows best. They used to gather once a year outside the city, and they would worship idols and offer sacrifices to them. They had an arrogant, tyrannical king who was called Decianus, who commanded and encouraged the people to do that.
Each of them started to withdraw from his people and keep aloof from them. The first one of them to move away on his own went and sat in the shade of a tree, then another came and sat with him, then another came and sat with them, then four more followed suit one by one. None of them knew the others, but they were brought together by the One Who instilled faith in their hearts.
Souls are like recruited soldiers. Those that recognize one another will come together, and those that do not recognize one another will turn away from each another.
People say that similar qualities or characteristics are what bring people together. So each of the young men was trying to conceal what he really believed from the others, out of fear of them, not knowing that they were like him. They adopted a particular location as a place of worship and began worshipping Allah there, but their people found out about them and told their king about them.
The king ordered them to appear before him, and asked them about their beliefs. They told him the truth and called him to Allah, as Allah says about them:.
These, our people, have taken for worship gods other than Him Allah. Why do they not bring for them a clear authority meaning, why do they not produce some clear evidence and genuine proof for their behavior. And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah.
He commanded them to be stripped of their clothing bearing the adornments of their people, then he gave them some time to think about the situation, hoping that they would return to their former religion. This was a way that Allah showed kindness for them, because during that time they managed to escape from him and flee from persecution for the sake of their religion.
Soon there will come a time when the best wealth any of you can have will be sheep, which he can follow to the tops of the mountains and places where rain falls, fleeing for the sake of his religion from persecution. In such cases, it is allowed to seclude oneself from people, but this is not prescribed in any other case, because by such seclusion one loses the benefits of congregational and Friday prayers.
These young men were determined to flee from their people, and Allah decreed that for them, as He says about them,. And when you withdraw from them, and that which they worship, except Allah, meaning, when you depart from them and follow a different religion, opposing their worship of others besides Allah, then separate from them in a physical sense too,.
So they left and fled to the cave where they sought refuge. The Quraysh idolators came in pursuit, but they did not find him even though they passed right by him. And you might have seen the sun, when it rose, declining to the right from their cave, and when it set, turning away from them to the left, while they lay in the midst of the cave. That is from the Ayat of Allah.
He whom Allah guides, he is the rightly-guided; but he whom He sends astray, for him you will find no guardian to lead him. The Location of the Cave This indicates that the entrance to the cave faced north, because Allah tells us that when the sun was rising, sunlight entered the cave. Every time the sun rises on the horizon, its rays decline until there is nothing left in such a place when it reaches its zenith. So Allah said,. This proves what we say, and it is clear to anyone who thinks about the matter and has some knowledge of astronomy and the paths of the sun, moon and stars.
If the entrance of the cave faced east, nothing would have entered it when the sun set, and if it faced the direction of the Qiblah in this case, south , nothing would have entered it at the time of sunrise or sunset, and the shadows would have leaned neither to the right nor the left.
If it had faced west, nothing would have entered it at the time of sunrise, until after the sun had passed its zenith, and would have stayed until sunset. This supports what we have said, and to Allah is the praise. Allah has told us this, and He wants us to understand it and ponder its meaning, but He did not tell us the location of this cave, i. If there was any spiritual or religious interest that could be served by our knowing that, Allah and His Messenger would have taught us about it, as the Prophet said:.
I have not left anything that will bring you closer to Paradise and keep you further away from Hell but I have certainly taught you about it.
So Allah has told us about the features of the cave, but He did not tell us where it is, and He said,. And you might have seen the sun, when it rose, declining from their cave.
That is from the Ayat of Allah , how He guided them to this cave where He kept them alive, and the sun and wind entered the cave preserving their bodies.
Allah says,. He whom Allah guides, he is the rightly-guided; meaning that He is the One Who guided these young men to true guidance among their people, for the one whom Allah guides is truly guided, and the one whom Allah leaves astray will find no one to guide him.
And you would have thought them awake, whereas they were asleep. And We turned them on their right and on their left sides, and their dog stretching forth his two forelegs at the Wasid. Had you happened upon them, you would certainly have turned back from them in flight, and would certainly have been filled with awe of them. Some of the scholars mentioned that when Allah caused them to sleep, their eyelids did not close, lest disintegration took hold of them.
If their eyes remained open to the air, this would be better for the sake of preservation. It was mentioned that when the wolf sleeps, it closes one eye and keeps one eye open, then it switches eyes while asleep. He was sitting outside the door, because the angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog, as was reported in As-Sahih, nor do they enter a house in which there is an image, a person in a state of ritual impurity or a disbeliever, as was narrated in the Hasan Hadith.
The blessing they enjoyed extended to their dog, so the sleep that overtook them overtook him too. This is the benefit of accompanying good people, and so this dog attained fame and stature. This was so that no one would come near them or touch them until the appointed time when their sleep would come to an end as Allah willed, because of the wisdom, clear proof and great mercy involved in that.
Likewise, We woke them that they might question one another. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the town, and let him find out which is the Azka food, and bring some of that to you. And let him be careful and let no man know of you. This is why they asked each other,.
Then they turned their attention to more pressing matters, like their need for food and drink, so they said:. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours They had brought with them some Dirhams silver coins from their homes, to buy whatever they might need, and they had given some in charity and kept some, so they said:. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the town, meaning to their city, which they had left.
The definite article indicates that they were referring to a known city. And let him be careful meaning when he goes out buying food and coming back. They were telling him to conceal himself as much as he could,. So they said:. And thus We made their case known, that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour.
Several scholars of the Salaf mentioned that the people of that time were skeptical about the Resurrection. He thought that it was not long since he left it, but in fact century after century, generation after generation, nation after nation had passed, and the country and its people had changed.
He saw no local landmarks that he recognized, and he did not recognize any of the people, elite or commoners. He was confused about his situation. It was also said that they did enter the cave and see them, and the king greeted them and embraced them.
Apparently he was a Muslim, and his name was Tedosis. They rejoiced at meeting him and spoke with him, then they bid farewell to him and went back to sleep, then Allah caused them to die. Remember when they the people disputed among themselves about their case, meaning, about Resurrection. Some believed in it and some denied it, so Allah made their discovery of the people of the cave evidence either in their favor or against them.
Allah has cursed the Jews and the Christians who took the graves of their Prophets and righteous people as places of worship Warning against what they did. They say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; and they say they were five, the dog being the sixth, guessing at the unseen; and they say they were seven, and the dog being the eighth. And consult not any of them about the people of the Cave.
Allah tells us that people disputed over the number of the people of the Cave. The Ayah mentions three views, proving that there was no fourth suggestion. Allah indicates that the first two opinions are invalid, by saying,. Then Allah mentions the third opinion, and does not comment on it, or He affirms it by saying,.
If we are given knowledge of a matter, then we may talk about it, otherwise we should refrain. So debate not except with the clear proof. But Allah has sent you, O Muhammad, with the truth in which there is no doubt or confusion, which is to be given priority over all previous books and sayings.
Here Allah, may He be glorified, shows His Messenger the correct etiquette when determining to do something in the future; this should always be referred to the will of Allah, the Knower of the Unseen, Who knows what was and what is yet to be and what is not to be, and how it will be if it is to be. He went around to the women but none of them gave birth except for one who gave birth to a half-formed child.
According to another report, They would all have fought as horsemen in the cause of Allah. Since we discussed this at length at the beginning of the Surah, there is no need to repeat it here. And remember your Lord when you forget in this way. This was also the view of Ibn Jarir, but he stated that this does not make up for breaking the oath or mean that one is no longer obliged to offer expiation. What Ibn Jarir said is correct, and it is more appropriate to understand the words of Ibn Abbas in this way.
And they stayed in their cave three hundred years, adding nine. With Him is the unseen of the heavens and the earth. They have no protector other than Him, and He makes none to share in His decision and His rule. The Length of their Stay in the Cave. Here Allah tells His Messenger the length of time the people of the Cave spent in their cave, from the time when He caused them to sleep until the time when He resurrected them and caused the people of that era to find them.
The length of time was three hundred plus nine years in lunar years, which is three hundred years in solar years.
Rather say something like this:. Allah knows best how long they stayed. With Him is the knowledge of the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. What we have said here is the view of more than one of the scholars of Tafsir, such as Mujahid and others among the earlier and later generations. And they stayed in their cave three hundred years, Qatadah said, this was the view of the People of the Book, and Allah refuted it by saying:. However, this view is open to debate, because when the People of the Book said that they stayed in the cave for three hundred years, without the extra nine, they were referring to solar years, and if Allah was merely narrating what they had said, He would not have said,.
The apparent meaning of the Ayah is that Allah is stating the facts, not narrating what was said. This is the view of Ibn Jarir may Allah have mercy on him. How clearly He sees, and hears everything! He sees them and hears them. It was narrated that Qatadah commented on this Ayah:. None can change His Words, and none will you find as refuge other than Him. And keep yourself O Muhammad patiently with those who call on their Lord morning and afternoon, seeking His Face; and let not your eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp and glitter of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance, and who follows his own lusts, and whose affair has been lost.
O Messenger! Proclaim the Message which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allah will protect you from mankind. They wanted him to sit with them on his own, but Allah forbade him from doing that, and said,. And turn not away those who invoke their Lord, morning and afternoon. Allah commanded him to patiently content himself with sitting with those people the weak believers , and said:. Only Muslim reported this; excluding Al-Bukhari.
Do not obey him or admire his way or envy what he has. As Allah says elsewhere:. And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them, the splendor of the life of this world, that We may test them thereby. But the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting. Verily, We have prepared for the wrongdoers, a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them. And if they ask for drink, they will be granted water like Al-Muhl, that will scald their faces.
Terrible is the drink, and an evil Murtafaq! Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve. This is a type of threat and stern warning, after which Allah says,. When the disbeliever wants to drink it and brings it close to his face, it will scald it so that the skin of his face falls off into it. The tree will tear off the skin of their faces, and if anyone who knew them were to pass by, he would recognize the skin of their faces in the tree.
Then they will feel thirsty, so they will ask for drink, and they will be granted water like Al-Muhl, that is what has been heated to the ultimate temperature. When it is brought near their mouths, the flesh of their faces from which the skin has been torn off will be baked. Verily, as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, certainly We shall not make the reward of anyone to be lost who does his righteous deeds in the most perfect manner.
How good is the reward, and what an excellent Murtafaq! The Reward of those Who believe and do Righteous Deeds. When Allah mentions the state of those who are doomed, He follows that by mentioning the blessed who believed in Allah and believed what His Messengers brought, those who did the righteous deeds that they commanded them to do.
This is explained in more detail here, where Allah says:. Sundus refers to a fine garment, like a shirt and the like, and Istabraq is thick and shiny velvet.
In a Sahih Hadith, the Prophet said:. How good is the reward, and what an excellent place of rest Murtafaq! And what an excellent Murtafaq means, and how good a place to dwell and rest and stay. Previously, Allah had said of Hell,. Terrible is the drink, and an evil place of rest Murtafaq!
Evil indeed it Hell is as an abode, and as a place to rest in. Then He mentions the qualities of the believers, then says:. Those will be rewarded with the highest place because of their patience. Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect. Abiding therein excellent it is as an abode, and as a place to rest in. And put forward to them the example of two men: unto one of them We had given two gardens of grapes, and We had surrounded both with date palms; and had put between them green crops cultivated fields.
Each of those two gardens brought forth its produce, and failed not in the least therein, and We caused a river to gush forth in the midst of both. And he went into his garden while having been unjust to himself. After mentioning the idolators who were too arrogant to sit with the poor and weak among Muslims, showing off before them with their wealth and noble lineage, Allah then gives a parable for them of two men, one of whom Allah gave two gardens of grapes, surrounded with palm trees and cultivated with crops throughout.
All of the trees and plants were abundantly fruitful, providing readily accessible, good quality produce. And he had Thamar, It was said that what was meant here was wealth, and it was said that what was meant were fruits, which is the more apparent meaning here.
This is also supported by the alternative recitation, Thumr, which is the plural of Thamrah fruit just as Khushb is the plural of Khashab wood. Others recite it as Thamar. I am greater than you in wealth and have a mightier entourage. And he went into his garden having been unjust to himself. He thought that it could never come to an end or cease or be destroyed. This was because of his lack of understanding and the weakness of his faith in Allah, and because he was enamored with this world and its adornments, and because he disbelieved in the Hereafter.
So he said:. In Allah we put our trust.
