QURAN CHAPTER - 46
Al-Ahqaf - The Sand-Dunes
Revealed - Meccan
Ruku - 4
Ayat - 35
Theme - The subject matter of this Surah is to warn the disbelievers of the errors in which they were involved, and also resisted arrogantly, and were condemning the man who was trying to redeem them.
- They regarded the world as a useless and purposeless place where they were not answerable to anyone.
- They thought that invitation to Tauheed was false and stuck to the belief that their own deities were actually the associates of Allah.
- They were not inclined to believe that the Quran was the Word of the Lord of the worlds.
- They had a strange erroneous concept of Apostleship on the basis of which they were proposing strange criteria of judging the Holy Prophet's claim to it.
- In their estimation one great proof of Islam's not being based on the truth was that their elders and important chiefs of the tribes and so called leaders of their nation were not accepting it and only a few young men, and some poor folks and some slaves had affirmed faith in it.
- They thought that Resurrection and life after death and the rewards and punishments of the Hereafter were fabrications whose occurrence was absolutely out of the question.
Each of these misconceptions has been refuted in a brief but rational way, and the disbelievers have been warned that if they would reject the invitation of the Quran and the Prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad (SWS) by prejudice and stubbornness instead of trying to understand its truth rationally, they would only be preparing for their own doom.
