[38].Surah Suad
Ayat 65. Say (O Muhammad ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH): “I am only a warner and there is no Ilah (God) except Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) the One, the Irresistible,
Ayat 66. “The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving.”

Ayat 68. “From which you turn away!
Tafseer of Surah Suad Ayat 65 to 68. Cf. 12:39, where Joseph preaches to the men in prison. The one supreme Message of importance to mankind was (and is) the Unity of Allah: that He is the Creator and Sustainer of all: that His Will is supreme: that He can carry out His Will without question, and no powers of Evil can defeat it; and that He forgives by His grace again and again. This Message the Prophet came to deliver, and he delivered it. Ayat 66. “The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, – Exalted in Might, able to enforce His Will, forgiving again and again. CF 22:40, as explained the full import of “Aziz as a title applied to Allah, and I have expressed two of the leading ideas involved, in the two lines here. The argument in this Surah turns upon the contrast between earthly Power and the Divine Power: the one is impotent and the other is Supreme. Ghaffar is the emphatic intensive form, and I have accordingly translated it as “Forgiving again and again”. Cf. 20:82. Ayat 67. “That is a Message Supreme (above all), Ayat 68.”From which ye do turn away! The Message which is of supreme import to mankind-from that they turn away. Instead of profiting by it, they turn away to side issues, or unprofitable speculation: such as: what is the origin of Evil; when will Judgment come? Etc.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “O people! Allah is Pure and, therefore, accepts only that which is pure. Allah has commanded the believers as He has commanded His Messengers by saying: `O Messengers! Eat of the good things, and do good deeds.’ (23:51) And He said: `O you who believe (in the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you…”’ (2:172). Then he ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) made a mention of the person who travels for a long period of time, his hair is disheveled and covered with dust. He lifts his hand towards the sky and thus makes the supplication: `My Rubb! My Rubb!’ But his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothes are unlawful and his nourishment is unlawful, how can, then his supplication be accepted?”
[Muslim Hadith # 2214].

” This Hadith shows the value of honest earning, for the grant of prayer, honest earning is essential. Allah accepts charity only if it has been earned in an honest way. Moreover, before any pious action, honest earning for living is essential; otherwise, good actions will also go to waste
