English Translation of Al-Quran
[41]. Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah (Prostration) also known as Surah Fussilat [They Are Explained in Detail]
Ayat 52. Say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) “Tell me, if it (the Qur’an) is from Allah, and you disbelieve in it, who is more astray than one who is in opposition far away (from Allah’s Right Path and His obedience).
Tafseer of Surah Ha-Mim Al-Sajdah (or Surah Fussilat) Ayat 52. Say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) “See ye if the (Revelation) is (really) from Allah, and yet do ye reject it? Who is more astray than one who is in a schism far (from any purpose)?” An argument is now addressed, of a most searching nature. Examine your own souls. See if you do not really find something unusual in Allah’s Revelation! If you do, and yet you reject it, what a terrible responsibility fastens itself on you? Could anything be more foolish or more misguided than to reject a Message which is transforming the whole world? “If you resist the convictions of the whole world, you are only forming a Cave or a narrow obscure sect or schism, which serves no purpose, and is unfit to live in the broad light of Universal Religion.’ Cf. 2:176
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “My parable and that of yours is like a man who kindled a fire. When it was illuminated all around him, the moths and grasshoppers began to fall therein. He tried to push them away, but they overcame him and jumped into it. I am catching hold of your waist’s ties (to save you) from fire, but you slip away from my hands”.
[Muslim Book 030, Chapter 06, Hadith # 5672].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah Ayat 52. “The Qur’an) is from Allah, and you disbelieve in it, who is more astray than one who is in opposition far away” This Hadith mentions the extreme kindness which the Prophet ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) had for the welfare of his followers. It also mentions the misfortune of those who would become the fuel of Hell for not accepting Islam in spite of the utmost affection and ardor of the Prophet ﷺ (PBUH) to bring them in the fold of Islam. People who fail to accept Islam would fall in the Hell-fire in the same way moths fall in the fire.
