Surah Fussilat

Surah Fussilat: Explained in the finest detail, detailed, explained

1-Hâ, Mîm.

2-Every being that has come into being is from His essence, reflecting His light.

3-4-Every being is a book that shows His proofs in every detail. It is in an understandable and readableform so that you may be among those who know. It presents peaceful information and clearly showsthe truths. But most people turn away from the truths and remain in their own understanding, so theyhear but do not understand.

5-They said: Our hearts are veiled from what you invite us to and our ears are deprived of hearing.There are barriers between you and us. After this, your deeds are yours and our deeds are ours.

6-Say: I am only a mortal like you. He is the only Creator who gave me life and created you and me.Then, turn to Him and purify yourself by His grace and do not ruin yourselves by associating partners.

7- Those who do not purify their minds and do not surrender their existence to their Owner, and in theend they ignore and cover up the realities.

8-Surely, there is an uninterrupted reward for those who believe and work on the right path.

9-Say: You are indeed ignoring the realities. You spend your days on earth without understandingexistence. You see, you are rivals against the One who created all creation.

10-He has arranged the earth as a place of reproduction and multiplication, and has made it fruitful andhas provided therein with food in a measure that you may live. So, return to your Lord in unity andbeauty, and seek and learn the realities.

11-Be perfect for the realities of the Sublime World. He who is in confusion says: We were tooinclined for the earth and were reluctant for the realities, and we did not obey the words of thoserealities.

12-Here is all that exists. The sublimity of the Sublime Realm encompasses all times and theprovisions of the Sublime Realm are communicated from everything at every moment. We haveadorned the Sublime Realm with our attributes, we have reflected our light from all beings in theworld and protected it. Here is all that exists, the sublime Owner of all values, The Owner of wisdom.

13-If they turn away from the truths after this and turn to what they know, then say: I have explainedthe truths to you and warned you, so that you may not be like the people of Ad and Thamud, who areignorant and drift away in ignorance.

14-And when a Messenger came to them, he explained the truths from every aspect. He said to them:Abandon what you used to know and do not worship, but worship Allah. They said: If our Lord hadwilled, He would have sent someone with power. So, they did not accept the truths and said: You werenot sent to us.

15-Thus, the people of Ad turned away from understanding the truth on earth and became arrogant.They said: “Who is stronger than us? They did not know that Allah created them. They did notunderstand that their strength is His strength and they became among those who rejected Our signs.

16-They could not understand the qualities We had given them. They remained in disturbing anddestructive states. In the worldly life, they took torment and evil as pleasure, and spent their days inharm, and their end was certainly torment and humiliation, and they could not understand the help ofthe truths.

17-As for the people of Thamud; Our path was shown to them, but despite being guided, they alsochose not to see the truths. So, they clung to states that led to ignorance. What they acquired washarming and distressing.

18-And those who believed found salvation in Us and were of those who guarded themselves fromevil and did not associate partners with Him.

19-Those who are in destructive states and those who attribute selfs against Allah are always together.Those in such states find each other.

20-Thus, they could not reach those truths in hearing and seeing and in recognizing themselves, andthey remained in forms because of what they had done.

21-And they said, “We do not know the reality of what is seen, nor do we understand the One whomakes us speak, nor the One who calls us from all things.” He is the One who created you once, and toHim you shall be returned.

22-And you have not witnessed what is hidden from the eyes, and you have disregarded the One whomakes you hear and the One who makes you see, and you have disregarded the One who formed you.So, you have remained in conjecture, and you have remained in abundance because of what you havedone, and you have not known what Allah is.

23-And those conjectures of yours about your Lord will lead you to destruction. If you act upon them,you will be among the losers.

24-And if they avoid the burning and are patient, they will be successful. But if they are pleased withthem, then they will not follow the truth.

25-And We have arranged them in a closeness, and We have named them. They did not look to thepower that moved their hands. They did not look to those who came after them. Before them, manycommunities, known and unknown, passed away. We gave them the words of the truth. And indeed,some of them were losers.

26-Those who do not accept the truth say: Do not listen to these recitations and ignore the ruling inthem, perhaps you would prevail.

27-Those who do not accept the truth; because they could not understand Us, they certainly remainedin ignorance and were made more difficult. And indeed, because they could not understand Us, theywere recompensed for the evils they did.

28-That is the recompense of those who are in destructive states and who ascribe self against Allah.They remain in that state forever because they did not accept Our verses.

29-Those who ignore the truth say: O our Lord! Let us see what we know and what we do not know,which leads us beyond the truth, and let us trample them underfoot because they are evil.

30-Those who say, “Surely Allah created us” and then walk upright, know the One who has powerover them and over all creatures. There is no fear on them, nor will they grieve, but they are happy.This is what you are promised.

31-We are your saints in this worldly life, and this is true until your last moment. Wherever you desirefor yourself and wherever you seek, there it is.

32-He is the One who creates existence from its essence and purifies it with His graces.

33-Who is more eloquent than the one who invites to the realities of Allah and does good deeds andsays, “I am truly among those who are in peace and tranquility!”

34-Goodness and evil are not the same. Prevent evil in the best way. Then, the enmity between youand him will be transformed into sincere friendship.

35-No one can attain it except the patient, and no one can attain it except the resolute, the peaceful.

36-If satanic acts such as aggression tempt you, then seek refuge in Allah. He is the Hearer, TheOwner of wisdom.

37-His signs are the night and the day, the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate yourself to the sun andthe moon, but submit to Allah, who created them. You are only His servants.

38-If you are in a state of scorn, immediately remember those truths that belong to the One whocreated you. Perceive His actions, attributes, and manifestations of His Essence day and night, and tryto understand them without getting tired.

39-You will surely see Our signs. The earth is at rest, then We send down water upon it, and there is amovement and a swelling. Surely, He is the One who is alive in all things, and surely, He is the Onewho gives life from the drop of drop. Surely, He is the Power in all things.

40-Indeed, whoever disregards Our hidden truths in Our signs, they have strayed from the Truth andthe right path. Is he who is in a state of destruction better than the one who believes in the truths untildeath? Work according to the truth in whatever you desire. Surely, He shows you the truths inwhatever you do at every moment.

41-When the truths were mentioned to them, they pretended not to see them and did not understandthat all of existence is a sublime book.

42-Nothing false comes to it from what is before it or what is behind it. The truth that comes fromevery existence comes from the One who is the Owner of all existence and owns all attributes.

43-What has been revealed to you is nothing but what was revealed to the Messengers before you.Surely, your Lord is the Owner of Forgiveness and the Owner of the solution of the troubles.

44-If We had arranged the whole book of being in a way that is not understood, they would have said:Should not the signs in it be understandable, down to the smallest detail? Say: It is notincomprehensible to those who believe, but it is understandable, a guidance and a salvation. But thosewho do not believe have a hearing impairment in their ears and are blind to the truth. They think thatthey are being called from a distant place.

45-Moses was among those who understood that We have presented the whole of being as a book, butthey differed about the truths it presented, and they disregarded the words of your Lord that had comebefore, and they certainly could not agree among themselves. Indeed, they were in doubt about them,and they found them alarming.

46-Whoever does good, it is to his own good, and whoever does evil, it is to his own harm. Your Lordis not the one who gives evil to His servants.

47-Without His will, the crops do not bud and come out, and the females do not become pregnant anddo not give birth. This is only with His will. The idolaters are always called: Can those whom youassociate with Allah do this? Those who understand the truth say: We have not understood You, whoare in charge of everything, nor have we known You, who are present everywhere and at all times.

48-When those who abandon the truth and go to their own understanding realize that what they used toturn to was not true, they realize that there is no refuge except in Him.

49-Man never tires of asking for good things, and if evil touches him, he immediately becomespessimistic and despairs.

50-If he feels something from Our mercy, then if some trouble touches him, he immediately says: Inever thought this would happen to me, I am only one who turns to my Lord, I am in the beauties thatbelong to Him. So much so that those who ignore and cover up the truths are informed of the truths ofwhat they do at every moment. Surely, they are in a terrible distress because they cannot understandUs.

51-When a person attains Our blessings, he ignores the truths and turns away from understanding, andwhen an evil touches him, he turns to Us and seeks comfort.

52-Say: If you see the truths belonging to Allah and then ignore them and conceal them, you will befar from the truths and will remain in duality. Who is more misguided than he?

53-We show them Our signs that are in the whole world and in them at every moment, and in them thetruth is manifest. Surely, He is the Truth. Is not your Lord sufficient for you? He is present in allthings, at all times and in all places.

54-There is no doubt in them that they are in touch with their Lord at all times. Is He notencompassing all things?
