Baqarah 159-160

Baqarah 159-160


159- THOSE WHO CONCEAL WHAT WE SENT DOWN OF THE CLEAR AYAHS AND OF THE GUIDANCE, AFTER WE HAVE MADE IT CLEAR TO MANKIND IN THE BOOK, THOSE ARE CURSED BY ALLAH AND THOSE WHO CURSE.

160- EXCEPT FOR THOSE WHO REPENT, MAKE AMENDS AND MAKE THE TRUTH KNOWN, THOSE I FORGIVE, FOR I AM THE MOST FORGIVING, THE MOST MERCIFUL.


What these Ayahs mean is that it is a very serious offence to hide knowledge of the faith from people.  This can be done on a small scale or large scale.  People might do this for a gain, or to avoid hurt, all is a poor and miserly price for them to take for such a serious offence.  

The Ayahs one has to reveal are any thing to do with the knowledge of Allah the Highest and the Faith.  They are in the Quran:

Allah the Highest said: “THOSE WHO CONCEAL WHAT ALLAH SENT DOWN OF THE BOOK AND SELL IT FOR A MISERLY PRICE, WHAT THEY ARE EATING IN THEIR STOMACHS IS NOTHING BUT FIRE, AND ALLAH DOES NOT SPEAK TO THEM NOR PURIFY THEM ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION, AND THEY WILL HAVE SEVERE PUNISHMENT”   (S:2 A:174)

It means what is in the Koran, as well as Sunah, Hadith and , and Serah for Allah the Highest said: “TAKE WHAT THE MESSENGER BRINGS YOU, AND ABSTAIN FROM WHAT THE MESSENGER FORBIDS YOU”. (S: 59 A: 7)

It is of the believer’s honesty and integrity not to conceal any knowledge he is asked about for any reason.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Whoever is asked about any knowledge and he conceals it, he will be bridled with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection”.  (T: Elm; 9 & Ma: Moqademah; 24 & A: 2; 263,305,344)

Indeed, it is worse to lie, that is to put false information in the place of the right information.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “He who lies about me intentionally, he will have his own place in the Fire”.  (B: Elm; 38 & A: 1; 70, 78,130,131)

Abu Huraira is one of Allah’s messenger’s companions who related many Hadith.  He said: “If it was not for an Ayah in Allah’s Book, I would not have told Hadith to any one, it is “THOSE WHO CONCEAL WHAT WE SENT DOWN OF THE AYAHS AND CLEAR GUIDANCE ………”  (B: Elm; 42 & M: Eman; 229 & Mal: Taharah; 29)

Allah the Highest curses them so do the believers, for they obstruct the way to Allah and His Path.  Indeed, they misguide people, and they do this willingly and intentionally.  

For any repentance to bee complete, one has to put to right what was made wrong.  To repent, and gain Allah’s forgiveness after such an offence, one has to make what was hidden and concealed known.  This is how to make amends.

Indeed, it is the duty of the believers to relate what they know to each other, and teach each others articles of faith.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Allah’s Grace is upon a man who hears what I say, understands it, memorizes it, and then relates it to others, for it may be that one carries knowledge to a more scholarly person”. (T: Elm; 7 & A: 5; 183)

This is how knowledge spreads, as it should.

Baqarah 55-57

Baqarah 55-56 55- AND AS YOU SAID: “O MOSES, WE WILL NOT BELIEVE IN YOU UNTIL WE SEE ALLAH MANIFESTLY”, THEN YOU WERE STRUCK WITH LIGHTENING WHILE YOU WERE LOOKING. 56- THEN WE REVIVED YOU AFTER YOUR DEATH, SO THAT YOU MAY BE THANKFUL. Once again, the Children of Israel doubting and disbelieving, and once again they were shown the clear signs, then forgiven. It has been reported that it was the seventy men Moses took with him on an appointment with Allah who said that they would not believe unless they see Allah manifestly. They were the selected few who were chosen to represent the children of Is- rael. They put a condition on believing, to see Al- lah the Highest manifestly. This condition was very bad sin for many reasons: -   It was bad after all the manifest miracles they had seen, to need more proved by Allah and Moses as His messenger. -   They asked to see Allah the Highest, a thing no human being was allowed. -   Moses, peace upon him, did not see Allah manifestl...

In fact, these boun- ties are mentioned in the next Ayahs and throughout the Quran. Moses, peace be upon him, reminded them too, saying  “AS HE AP- POINTED RPOPHETS FROM AMONGST YOU, MADE YOU KINGS, AND GAVE YOU WHAT HE DID NOT GIVE OTHERS” . (S: 5 A: 20) Allah the Highest, saved the Children of Israel from Pharaoh, split the Red Sea for them to cross then drowned Pharaoh’s army. Allah the Highest provided them food and water in Sinai, 1 41 1 42 shaded them with clouds, supported them against their enemies, forgave them when they worshiped the Golden Calf, and doing...

Baqarah 213

Baqarah 213 213- MANKIND WAS ONE NATION, AND THEN ALLAH SENT THE PROPHETS WITH GLADE TIDINGS AND WARNINGS, AND SENT THEM THE BOOK WITH THE TRUTH TO RULE OUT IN PEOPLE’S DISPUTES.  ONLY THOSE WHO WERE GIVEN THE BOOK DISPUTED ABOUT IT, AFTER CLEAR SIGNS CAME TO THEM, IN INJUSTICE TO EACH OTHER.  ALLAH GUIDES THE BELIEVERS TO THE TRUTH CONCERNING THEIR DISPUTES, BY HIS PERMISSION, FOR ALLAH GUIDES THOSE HE DESIRES TO THE STRAIGHT PATH. Mankind originated from Adam peace upon him, who was a prophet of Allah.  When Allah the Highest sent him and Eve down from the Garden, Allah promised to send them those who guide them: “ WE SAID: GET DOWN FROM IT ALL OF YOU.  WHEN YOU RECEIVE GUIDANCE FROM ME, THOSE WHO FOLLOW MY GUIDANCE, THERE WILL BE NO FEAR UPON THEM, NEITHER WILL THEY BE SADDENED” (S: 2 A: 38) Allah the Highest fulfilled His promise of sending prophets and messengers to people to:  Deliver Allah’s guidance to people. Give people good news about the great rewa...
