THE QURAN AS IT EXPLAINS ITSELF

form of life for the human ‘self’. Thus, they have conviction in the Hereafter.
This can be likened to the birth of a baby who leaves the mother’s womb and
moves on to a new and higher level of existence. Anyone failing to understand
the Eternity of the Nafs (‘Self’ -commonly termed as ’Soul’), bars himself from
seeing life in its totality and, therefore, toils through this life without a higher objective.
2:185, 6:73, 7:52-53, 7:157-158, 10:4, 21:10, 21:24, 40:11, 45:4-5, 67:2.
“Confirming the truth in what they have” points to human touch in the Bible even before Prophet Muhammad’s times.

[al-Baqarah, 2:5]
اُولٰٓئِکَ عَلٰی ہُدًی مِّنۡ رَّبِّہِمۡ ٭ وَ اُولٰٓئِکَ ہُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ ﴿۵﴾
They are the ones who walk on a path lighted by their Lord, and they are the ones
whose crops of effort will flourish and they will truly prosper. [Muflihoon مفلحون from
Fallaah فلاح
= Farmer who ploughs the earth for seeding and gets an abundant crop in return.
Huda minr-Rabb
ہُدًی مِّنۡ رَّبِّہِمۡ
= The Lord’s light
= This Quran to which one must turn with an open mind. Those who approach it without clearing their minds
of pre-conceived notions will fail to “touch” this Book. For, that frame of mind
defies reason and logic.
4:88, 5:15, 23:1-11, 24:35, 31:2-5, 42:5, 56:79]
[al-Baqarah, 2:6]
اِنَّ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا سَوَآءٌ عَلَیۡہِمۡ ءَاَنۡذَرۡتَہُمۡ اَمۡ لَمۡ تُنۡذِرۡہُمۡ لَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ﴿۶﴾
Remember that those who have chosen denial in advance, it is all the same to them whether you apprise them (of the consequences of their actions) or apprise them not. They will refuse to acknowledge the truth.
[2:89-109, 6:26, 27:14, 35:42-43,
36:70, 41:26, 47:32]
[al-Baqarah, 2:7]
خَتَمَ اللّٰہُ عَلٰی قُلُوۡبِہِمۡ وَ عَلٰی سَمۡعِہِمۡ ؕ وَ عَلٰۤی اَبۡصَارِہِمۡ غِشَاوَۃٌ ۫ وَّ لَہُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِیۡمٌ ٪﴿۷﴾
God (His Law of Cause and Effect) has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and on their sight there is a veil. And theirs will be a tremendous suffering. [Khatm ختم or
Taba’ طبع from God, seal on the hearts, is a natural consequence of one’s deeds. Blind
following, adamancy, being unjust due to selfish interests and arrogance render
the human perception and reasoning unreceptive to Divine revelation. Thus, one
loses sensitivity and the ability to perceive reality. It is easy to see how damaging
this fall from the high stature of humanity can be, a tremendous suffering that
is built-in as the logical consequence of such attitude.
4:88, 17:46, 18:57, 40:35,
45:23, 83:14]
[al-Baqarah, 2:8]
وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنۡ یَّقُوۡلُ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰہِ وَ بِالۡیَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ وَ مَا ہُمۡ بِمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ ۘ﴿۸﴾
And of mankind there are those who claim, “We believe in God and the Last Day“, while
they are not believers. [Their actions that speak louder than words, contradict
their claim.
4:136, 49:15]
