Surah Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah Ayat 19 & 20 Daily Qur’an & Hadith (14 Nov, 2024)

English Translation of Al-Quran

[41]. Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah (Prostration) also known as Surah Fussilat [They Are Explained in Detail]

Ayat 19. And (remember) the Day that the enemies of Allah will be gathered to the Fire, so they will be collected there (the first and the last). 20. Till, when they reach it (Hell-fire), their hearing (ears) and their eyes, and their skins will testify against them as to what they used to do.

Tafseer of Surah Ha-Mim Al-Sajdah (or Surah Fussilat) Ayat 19. On the Day that the enemies of Allah will be gathered together to the Fire, they will be marched in ranks. “Marched in ranks”: to show their further humiliation; for they will be like prisoners going to Punishment. Ayat 20. At length, when they reach the (Fire), their hearing, their sight, and their skins will bear witness against them, as to (all) their deeds. All the members of their bodies and the faculties of their minds, which they misused, will bear witness against them. Similarly, in 36:65, their hands and their feet bear witness against them. The “skin” not only includes the sense of touch (which is so often misused in sex), but also the sense of taste and the sense of smell, which are specialized forms of the organ of touch. All the sensory organs, and all their intellectual and emotional counterparts advance us by their use and pull us down by their misuse. They become tell-tale witnesses against us if abused.

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) saying, “Two eyes will never be touched by the fire of Hell; an eye which weeps out of Fear of Allah and an eye which spends the night in guarding in the Cause of Allah.”

[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 1639].

Lesson : This Hadith tells us about the eminence of the person who weeps out of Fear of Allah and also brings into prominence the distinction of the Mujahid who keeps a vigil during Jihad.
