There is no ALLAH (SWT) but He---Hllowed is ALLAH (SWT) the Lord of the
worlds---He is the Ever –Living One, He alone cause death and brings to

اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ
لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى
النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ{40:61}
[Q40:61] ALLaahul
lazee ja'ala lakumul laila litqaskunoo feehi wannahaara mubsiraa; innaL Laaha
lazoo fadlin 'alan naasi wa laakinna aksaran naasi laa yashkuroun.
[Q40:61] ALLAH (SWT) is He Who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the day to see; most surely ALLAH (SWT) is Gracious to men, but most men do not give thanks.

[Q40:61] ALLAH (SwT) yang menjadikan
malam untuk kamu supaya kamu berehat padanya dan menjadikan siang
terang-benderang (supaya kamu berusaha). Sesungguhnya ALLAH (SwT) sentiasa
melimpah-limpah kurniaNya kepada manusia seluruhnya, akan tetapi kebanyakan
manusia tidak bersyukur.

(40:61) Allah
it is Who made the night so that you may seek repose in it, and made the day
radiant. Surely Allah is Most Bounteous to people; but most people do not give
thanks. *85
*85 This
verse comprises two important themes: First, the
night and the day have been presented in it as an argument for Tauhid, because
their alternating regularly means that One God alone is ruling over the earth
and the sun, and their alternation's being beneficial for man and other earthly
creatures is an express proof of the fact that the same One God is also the
Creator of all these things and has devised this system with such great wisdom
that it should be beneficial and useful for all His creatures. Secondly, in this verse the atheists and
the polytheists have been to realize how great a blessing has Alllah bestowed
on them in the shape of the night and the day and what ungrateful wretches they
are that while they are benefiting from this blessing of His they are being
disloyal and rebellious to Him day and night (For father explanation see Yunus
87,Al-furqan 62, E.N.'s thereof).
ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ {40:62}
[Q40:62] ZaalikumuL
Laahu Rabbukum khaaliqu kulli shai'; laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa fa annaa tu’fakoon.
[Q40:62] That is ALLAH (SWT), your Lord, the Creator of everything; there is no god but He; whence are you then turned away?
[Q40:62] That is ALLAH (SWT), your Lord, the Creator of everything; there is no god but He; whence are you then turned away?
[Q40:62] Yang bersifat demikian ialah ALLAH
(SwT), Tuhan kamu; yang menciptakan tiap-tiap sesuatu (dari tiada kepada ada);
tiada Tuhan (yang berhak disembah) melainkan Dia; maka bagaimana kamu dapat
dipalingkan (daripada menyembahNya)?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(40:62) Allah
(Who bestowed all these favours upon you) is your Lord, the Creator of
everything. There is no god but He. *86 Whence are you, then, being led
astray? *87
*86 That
is, "The alternation of the night and day has proved that Allah alone is
your Creator as well as of everything else, and the great advantage and
benefits that accrue from this alternation for your life, prove that He is your
highly Beneficent Lord. After this, it automatically follows that He is your
real Deity too. For it would be wholly against reason and justice that your
Creator and Providence should be Allah and your deities others."
*87 That is, "Who is misleading you to think that those who are neither the creators nor providers should deserve to be worshipped by you?"
*87 That is, "Who is misleading you to think that those who are neither the creators nor providers should deserve to be worshipped by you?"
كَذَٰلِكَ يُؤْفَكُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِ

[Q40:63] Thus were turned away those who denied the communications of ALLAH (SWT).

(40:63) Thus
it is only those who had denied Allah’s Signs that were led astray. *88
*88 That
is, "In every age the common people have been deluded by the misguides
only because the people did not believe in the Revelations that Allah sent down
through His Messengers to make them understand the Truth. Consequently; they
were trapped by the selfish, dishonest people, who had set up shrines of false
gods as a business. "
اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا

(40:64) Allah it is Who made the earth a dwelling place
for you *89 and made the sky a canopy, *90 Who
shaped you – and shaped you exceedingly well – and gave you good things as
sustenance. *91 That is Allah, your Lord; blessed be Allah, the
Lord of the Universe.
*89 For
explanation, see An-Naml: 61 and E.N. 74 on it.
*90 That is, "You have not been exposed to outer space so that heavenly calamities should rain on you and annihilate you completely, but We have built over the earth a fully fortified celestial system (which appears like a dome to the eye), which does not allow any destructive element to reach you; so much so that even the destructive cosmic rays cannot reach you and that is. how you are living peacefully on the earth."
*91 That is, "We had provided for you such a safe and peaceful place of rest even before your creation. Then We created you and gave you a fine body with most appropriate limbs and physical and mental powers of a high calibre. You did not create this erect stature, these hands and feet, these eyes and nose and ears, this talking tongue and this brain, which is a treasure-house of great capabilities, nor were these created by your mother and father, nor had a prophet or a saint or a god the power to create them. Their Maker and Creator was the All-Wise, All-Merciful, All-Mighty Sovereign, Who created Man with this wonderful body to function in the world, when He decided to bring him into being. Then as soon as you were created, you found by His beneficence a vast table laid out with pure provisions containing items of pure food which is not poisonous but health-giving, which is not bitter and tasteless but tasty, which u not , rotten and stale and stinking but goodsmelling, which is not lifeless dregs but rich in vitamins and useful organic substances, so essential for the proper development and nourishment of yew body. Who has provided in such abundance this water, and corn, vegetables, fruits, milk, honey, meat and condiments, which not only add relish to your food but also provide you vitality and pleasures of life? And who has made the arrangements that these measureless granaries of food should go on coming out from the earth endlessly and their supply should never fail? Just consider this: What would have become of life if there had been no arrangement of food and man had been brought into existence suddenly? Is this not a clear proof that Your Creator is not merely a Creator but is an All-Wist Creator and All-Merciful Lord? (For further explanation, see Hud: 6, An-Naml 60-66 and the E.N.'s thereof):

(40:67) He it is Who created you from dust, then from a
sperm-drop, then from a clot; then He brings you out as an infant, then causes
you to grow into full maturity, and then causes you to grow further so that you
may reach old age, while some of you He recalls earlier. *96 All this
is in order that you may reach an appointed term *97 and
that you may understand (the Truth). *98
*96 That is,
"Someone dies before birth, and someone before attaining youth, and
someone before reaching old age. "
*97 "An appropriate time" may either imply the time of death, or the time when all human beings will be resurrected and presented before their Lord. In the first case, the meaning would be: Allah passes every man through different stages of life and takes him to the specific time which He has appointed for everyone's return. Before that time even if the whole world joins to kill him, it cannot kill him; and when that time has arrived, none can keep him alive even if all the powers of the world join together to do so. In the second case, it would mean: This gamut of life has not been brought about so that man may end up in the dust and be completely annihilated, but Allah passes him through different stages of life so that all human beings may present themselves before Him at the time which He has appointed for the purpose.
*98 That is, "You are not being passed through these different stages of lift so that you may live as the animals live and die as they die, but for the purpose that you may use yew common sense which Allah has granted you and thay understand the system in which you are living. The creation of a wonderful thing like life from the lifeless substances of the earth, then the coming into being of a marvelous creation like man from the microscopic germ of the sperm, then its developing inside the mother's womb, from the time of conception till delivery, in such a manner that its sex, its form and appearance, its bodily structure, its mental qualifies and characteristics, and its faculties and capabilities should be determined therein, un-influenced by any external factor or agency. Then the one who is to be eliminated by abortion does fall a prey to abortion, the one who is to die in infancy, does die in infancy, whether he be the child of a king, and the one who is to reach maturity or old age, dces reach that age, even through highly dangerous conditions, in which death should be certain, and the one who is to die in a particular stage of life, does die in that stage even if he is given the best medical attention and treatment in the best hospitals by the best doctors. Are not all these things pointing to the truth that the ultimate control of ow life and death is in the hand of an all-Mighty Sovereign? And when the reality is this that an all-Powerful Being is controlling ow life and death, then how did a prophet or a saint or an angel or a star or planet become worthy of ow worship and service? When did a creature attain the rank that we should pray to it, and accept it as the maker and un-maker of our destiny? And how did a human power have the status that we should obey its commands and prohibitions and its self-made law about the lawful and the unlawful, without question? (For further explanation, see Al-Hay: 5-7 and the E.N.'s on it).

[Q40:78] And certainly We sent messengers before you: there are some of them that We have mentioned to you and there are others whom We have not mentioned to you, and it was not meet for a messenger that he should bring a sign except with ALLAH (SWT)'s permission, but when the command of ALLAH (SWT) came, judgment was given with truth, and those who treated (it) as a lie were lost.

The signs of ALLAH (SWT) mentioned in this verse refer to the events which took
place to destroy the people of Nuh,
Hud, Salih, Lut, Shu-ayb, Firawn (in the times of
Musa), mentioned particularly in Araf, Yunus and
Hud.
WHENEVER TIME OF RESPITE was
past a destructive sign came by His command to annihilate the unjust in order
to destroy the falsehood so that the truth could be preserved.

(40:78) Indeed We sent many Messengers before you: of
them there are some whose account We have narrated to you and there are others
whose account We have not narrated to you. *107 It did not lie in any Messenger’s
power to bring any Sign *108 except with Allah’s leave. So when Allah’s
decree came, the matter was decided with justice, and those steeped in error
courted utter loss, *109 then and there.
*107 A new theme
starts from here. The disbelievers of Makkah said to the Holy Prophet, "We
would not believe you to be Allah's Messenger unless you showed us the miracle
that we ask you to show us." In the following verses an answer is being
given to this very demand without mentioning it. (For the type of the miracles
they demanded, see Hud: 12, Al-Hijr 7, Bani Isra'il: 90-93, Al-Furqan: 21 and
the E.N.'s thereof).
*108 That is, "No Prophet ever showed a miracle by his own will and desire, nor had any Prophet the power to show a miracle by himself. Whenever a miracle was shown through a Prophet, it was shown when Allah willed it to be shown through him to the disbelievers." This is the first answer to the disbelievers' demand.
*109 That is, "A miracle has never been shown for the mere fun of it. It is a decisive thing. If a nation does not believe even after a miracle has been shown, it is destroyed. You are demanding a miracle only for the sake of fun, but you have no idea that by making such a demand you arc, in fact, inviting yow own doom. "This is the second answer to their demand. (For details, please sec AIHijr: 8, 58-60, Bani Isra'il 59, AI-Anbiya': 5-9, Al-Furqan: 22-23, Ash-Shua`ra': 66-67 and the E.N.'s thereof).

The lesson from the fate of the disbelivers in the
past
Lessons to be had from the fate of the disbelievers in the past who were
stronger in number and strength---Repentance when facing the chastisement shall
not avail the guilty---The disbelievers are the loser.

(40:81) Allah shows His Signs to you; then which of
Allah’s Signs will you deny? *110
*110 It means
this: "If you are not demanding a miracle only for the sake of fun and
amusement but want to have the satisfaction whether that to which Muhammad
(upon whom be Allah's peace) is inviting you (i.e. Tauhid and the Hereafter) is
true or not then God's those Signs which you are observing and experiencing at
alI times, are quite enough. For there remains no need for other signs when
there are these Signs to help you understand the Truth." This is the third
answer to their demand of the miracles. This answer also has been given at
several places in the Qur'an and we have given detailed commentary on it.
(Please see AI-An'am: 37-39; Yunus: 101; Ar-R'ad: 7-13; Ash-Shua'ra': 4-9 and
the E.N.'s thereof).
The animals which serve man on the earth, especially the cow, ox, buffalo, sheep, goat, camel and horse, have been created with such nature by the Creator that they easily become man's domestic pet servants and he uses them to fulfil countless of his needs. He rides on them, employs them for carrying loads and in agriculture, get: milk from them, which he drinks and also uses it for making curd, butter; ghee, condensed milk, cheese and different sorts of confectionaries; eats their flesh, uses their fat, and puts to good uses their wool and hair and skin and intestines and bones, even their blood and dung. Is it not a manifest proof that the Creator of man had created these animals even before creating him in view of his countless needs, on a special pattern so that he may use them to advantage?
The three-fourths of the earth's surface is under water and only one-fourth is dry land. In the dry parts also there are small and wide tracts of land which are separated by water. The spreading of human populations on the dry lands and the establishment of commercial and other relations between them could not be possible unless water and oceans and winds were made subject to such laws as would make navigation possible, and such materials were made available on the earth, which man could employ for building ships. Is it not an express sign that there is One God and only One All-Powerful, All-Mercieful and All-Wise Lord, Who has trade man and earth and water and oceans and winds .and everything on the earth according to His own special scheme? Rather, if man only considers from the viewpoint of navigation how the positions of the stars and regular movements of the planets are helpful in it, he will have the testimony that not only of the earth but of the heavens too the Creator is the same One Bountiful Lord.
Then, consider also this: Can you in your right senses imagine that the all-Wise God, Who has given His countless things in the control of man and has granted him all these provisions for his well-being, will be, God forbid, so blind of the eye and so thoughtless as would never call man to account after giving him all this?

This verse ALSO refers to those who exult in their
knowledge of the laws governing the universe, WITHOUT REALISING THAT THEY ARE MERELY
DISCOVERING THE LAWS MADE BY ALLAH (SWT) TO ADMINISTER THE WORKING OF THE

mock at anything beyond the sphere of their observation and experiment.

(40:83) When their Messengers came to them with Clear

were then encompassed by what they had mocked.
*112 That is,
"They took their philosophy and their science, their law, their secular sciences
and their mythology and theology invented by their religious guides as the real
knowledge, and regarded the Knowledge brought by the Prophets of Allah as
worthless and therefore paid no heed to it. "

Believing or repenting after the torment has arrived or the signs of death have
