Quran 85:4 Koran 85:4 Verse 85:4 Ayah 85:4 Ayat 85:4 Aya 85:4 Misfortune is on them (the Army of Yusuf As'ar Yath'ar) who tortured (the Christian believers of Allaah in Al-Ukhdood Yemen) in ditches (in 100 BH 524 CE 524 AD, 100 years before Islam in) -

Comment 1. The story of the burning of Christians in the ditch 100 years before the time of Islam.

The story of the people of the ditch describes the massacre in 100 BH 524 CE 524 AD of Christians who would not renounce their religion in the city of Al-Ukhdood meaning the ditch, the trench, the groove which surround the city as a defensive barrier..

Al-Ukhdood is the old city of Najran not the new city of Najran.

Al-Ukhdood is the old city of Najran and today is located at Al-Qabel village near the southern end of the Najran valley.

Al-Ukhdood today is an Archeological city and its ruins are studied.

The persecution and massacre of Christians who refused the order to convert or die was conducted by the Army of the Jewish King of Yemen Yusuf As'ar Yath'ar (Dimnon, Dounaas, Dunaan, Dhu Nuwas, Dzu Nuwas, Masraq, Masruk, Yusuf Dhu Nuwas, Zunawas, Zur'ah Yusuf Ibn Tuban As'ad Abi Karib) ruler of the Tubba nation in Southern Arabia today in Yemen.

The Tubba nation refers to the rulers of Saba and Himyar.

The Jewish King of Yemen Yusuf As'ar Yath'ar was not born Jewish but adopted Judaism and took the name Joseph Yusuf when he took the throne from 110 - 101 BH, 515 - 525 CE, 515 - 525 AD.

Trade in Frankincense passed through Al-Ukhdood on camal caravans to Makkah and then to Syria and to Palestine and Mesopotamia and the Arabia Gulf.

The new city of Najran Saudi Arabia is near the Yemen border.

Comment 2. Allaah punishes wrong doers.

See Quran 85:12

Comment 3. Allaah forgives the wrong doing of those who repent and change their behaviour.

Allaah has given those who persecute by torturing, burning and killing the believers in Allaah a lifetime in which to repent and ask Allaah for forgiveness and change their behaviour.

See Quran 85:10

Quran 85:5 Koran 85:5 Verse 85:5 Ayah 85:5 Ayat 85:5 Aya 85:5 (Ditches that contained) the fire full of fuel (fuel which were humans in the massacre of the Christian Najran martyrs that they were torturing by burning them alive).

Quran 85:6 Koran 85:6 Verse 85:6 Ayah 85:6 Ayat 85:6 Aya 85:6 When they (the Army of Yusuf As'ar Yath'ar) were sitting near it (the ditches).

Quran 85:7 Koran 85:7 Verse 85:7 Ayah 85:7 Ayat 85:7 Aya 85:7 And they (the Army of Yusuf As'ar Yath'ar) were witnesses to what they were doing against the (Christian) believers (of Allaah).

Quran 85:8 Koran 85:8 Verse 85:8 Ayah 85:8 Ayat 85:8 Aya 85:8 And they (the Army of Yusuf As'ar Yath'ar) resented them (the Christians in Al-Ukhdood the old city of Najran) only because they (the Christians) believed in Allaah, the mighty and the praiseworthy -

Comment 1. One hundred years before Islam they killed Christians only because they believed in Allaah.

Quran 5:59 Verse 5:59 Say (Prophet Muhammad), “O People of the Scripture (the Jews of Yathrib Arabia later Medina Arabia today Madinah Saudi Arabia), do you resent us (Muslims) only because we believe in Allaah and what is revealed to us (in the Quran) and what was revealed before us (in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil) and because most of you are disobedient (to Allaah)?”

Quran 28:54 Ayah 28:54 They (the Jews who truly believe the Torah Taurat and the Christians who truly believe the Gospel Injil and also believe the Quran) shall be given their reward twice (in Quran 28:54 meaning twofold in Quran 34:37 meaning double in Quran 57:28) because they are steadfast (in their belief in Allaah) and they repel evil with good (deeds) and they spend (in charity) from what We (Allaah) have provided to them. (Jews and Christians who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39).

Note 1. Jews and Christians who follow their book and also believe the Quran will receive their reward twice in the Hereafter.

The good news message from Allaah for Jews and Christians delivered 1400 years ago by Prophet Muhammad in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.

1. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran shall receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.

2. Jews who follow the Tanakh Jewish scripture and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Torah Taurat.

3. Christians who follow the Gospels and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Gospel Injil.

4. Muslims who follow the Quran so that it agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil are correctly observing the Quran.

Quran 5:48 Verse 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (Allaah) revealed the Scripture (the Quran) with the truth that confirmed the Scripture that was before it (in the Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat) and (for you Prophet Muhammad to be) a guardian over it (the Quran). So judge between them (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what Allaah has revealed (to you Prophet Muhammad) and do not let their desires move you away from the truth that has come to you. For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (Allaah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If Allaah willed He (Allaah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (Allaah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allaah) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To Allaah you shall all return and He (Allaah) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.

Quran 85:13 Koran 85:13 Verse 85:13 Ayah 85:13 Ayat 85:13 Aya 85:13 It is He (Allaah) who initiates (creation) and then repeats it (the creation again in the hereafter on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement).
