Like the preceding five Surahs with which it has great resemblance in style and subject matter, this Surah was revealed early in the Holy Prophet’s ministry. Some writers like Rodwell and Muir assign it to the late Meccan period. They base their opinion on v. 11, which, according to them, embodies a reference to the Hijrah of the Holy Prophet to Medina. But the reference, as some other writers think, might as well be to the migration to Abyssinia which took place in the 4th year of the Call. The latter view seems to be nearer reality. Predominance of scholarly opinion is, as stated above, in favour of the Surah having been revealed early in the Holy Prophet’s life at Mecca but some verses also support Rodwell’s view. The Surah is the last of the group of chapters beginning with Saba’ which have a striking resemblance in style and subject matter. The principal theme of these Surahs is Divine revelation with special reference to the revelation of the Quran and the doctrine of the Unity of God. The fact that there is One Designer and One Controller and Creator of the whole universe is inescapably inferable from the order, adaptation, proportion and coordination which pervade the whole universe and to which all the sciences bear undeniable testimony. The success of Divine Messengers with their extremely meagre resources against very powerful enemies constitutes another argument to prove God’s existence and Unity. To reinforce this argument a study of the accounts of different peoples to whom God’s Messengers preached their Messages is strongly recommended. The study shows how a people steeped deep in sin and iniquity and stuck fast in the morass of moral turpitude, by following a Divine Prophet, rise to the pinnacles of spiritual glory. This rising of a morally defunct community to a vigorous spiritual life is indeed a strong argument in favour of النشور i.e. the rising to life of the physically dead in the Hereafter. These subjects form the main theme of the present Surah as also of its five predecessors. In the immediately preceding Surah the Holy Prophet was represented as saying that he asked for no reward for inviting men to God and for showing them the way to eternal life and that he sought no honour or aggrandisement for himself, but only wished for the welfare and well-being of all. The present Surah opens with the declaration that the Quran has been revealed by the Wise and Almighty God and that those alone achieve true honour and real success who accept and live up to its teaching as it contains all eternal truths. God has decreed that principles and ideals taught by the Quran will become established in the world and that the Holy Prophet has been commissioned to spread its teaching. So why should he seek any reward from men when God Himself is his Rewarder? Subject Matter The Surah opens with the subject of Quranic revelation and proceeds to deal with the need, purpose and supreme object of all revealed Books and Divine Prophets which is the establishment of Unity of God on earth. The greatest impediment that bars the way to the achievement of this great and noble object, lies in the fact that man is prone to worship false gods—the idols of his own creation. Of all forms of idolatry, perhaps the most hideous and most prevalent, and which has done the greatest injury to man’s spiritual development, is the belief that Jesus is the son of God. God, however, being the sole Creator and Controller of the whole universe, does not need a son to help Him in the conduct of affairs of the world. The Surah cites the most beautiful and consummate design and order in the universe as a further argument in support of the belief that there is only one Designing Mind behind all existence. Three stages of the نطفة (sperm drop), علقة (clot) and مضغة (lump of flesh) through which a man passes before his birth, are adduced as an additional argument. It is such a God, says the Surah, Who deserves and demands our adoration and to Whose worship man is invited by the Quran. It is to be regretted, however, that whenever a Prophet had invited men to God, only a small minority accepted his message. After having briefly discussed the need and purpose of Divine revelation the Surah proceeds to give two very strong and sound arguments in support of that phenomenon: (1) That those who invent lies against God, and those who reject truth, never succeed in life. Failure and ignominy dog their footsteps. (2) The Prophets of God and those who accept them and follow their lead always meet with success and their cause prospers. These two arguments constitute an infallible criterion to judge the truth of a claimant to Divine revelation. Judged by these standards, the claim of the Holy Prophet as a Divine Messenger, and of the Quran as heavenly revelation, stands unchallenged and proved beyond doubt. The Surah gives one more argument in support of the truth of the Quran and of the Holy Prophet, viz. that while their true followers succeed in winning the pleasure of God and worldly power, prosperity, and prestige, disbelievers meet with failure, frustration and disgrace in life and end by drawing upon themselves the wrath of God. After having warned them of the consequences of a sinful life, the Surah holds out to the sinners a message of hope and good cheer that, however deep they might fall into sin, they are never beyond redemption. The God of Islam is a Merciful, Gracious, Kind and Forgiving God. He can and does forgive the sins of His servants. His mercy encompasses all things. He only requires change of heart on the part of the sinner; He then turns to him with forgiveness and mercy. But this message of solace and comfort is also attended with a firm warning that the sinner has to work out his own destiny. No vicarious sacrifice can save him. He is vouchsafed many opportunities to repent and reform, but if he continues to walk in evil ways deliberately he is severely punished. Towards the close the Surah devotes quite a few verses to the description of the Day of Resurrection; how at the first blowing of the trumpet all men will fall into a swoon and at the second they will find themselves standing before God’s Judgement Seat, waiting to hear the Divine judgement, after which the good and the righteous will be escorted to Paradise where they will be greeted with the greetings of peace by the angels in Heaven, and the guilty ones will be driven to Hell where they will burn in scorching fire. Surah Az Zumar Ayat 9 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِى الَّذِيۡنَ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ وَالَّذِيۡنَ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ​ؕ ˹Are they better˺ or those who worship ˹their Lord˺ devoutly in the hours of the night, prostrating and standing, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of their Lord? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Are those who know equal to those who do not know?” None will be mindful ˹of this˺ except people of reason. This painting is an outstanding piece of art.
