Surah 12-- Hud (the Prophet Hud). Please Read
-
As Salaam Alaikum,
So yesterday night we were suppose to read Surah 11. It is called ?Hud? translated as ?The Prophet Hud?.
Basically this chapter dealt with different prophet and who they were sent to, and how their people rejected them (except for a few). Very nice read I must say. I liked it.
NOTICE The following are just NOTES/DESCRIPTIONS of the Ayat. Most (the overwhelming majority) ARE NOT the actual translations of the verse, so please do not mistake them as.
111- Quran reconfirms itself as a book, which to me, further doubts the claim that the Quran was only written down years after the Prophet?s death, or even compiled.
115- Even when people cover themselves with their garments, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal.
1113-Prophet(s?) accused of forgery
1140- Noah told to put each kind (of animals), two, amle and female, and his family, except those against whom the Word has already gone forth, and the believers on the ark.
1145-46 Noah pleaded with Allah about his son who refused to go on the ark?From what I got he had questioned Allah on his promise (I guess to save his family?). But Allah said that he (the son) is not of his (Noah?s) family for his conduct was unrighteous? Allah basically tells Noah don?t question him on things he (Noah) knows nothing of.
1150-60 Prophet Hud was sent to the Ad people (and of course rejected by most)
1161- Prophet Salih was sent to the people of Thamud
1161-68 It?s about Thamud people.
1174- Abraham pleaded for Lut?s people
1178- Prophet Lut offered his daughters to the people of Lut
It really upsets me when non-Muslims try to say that Prophet Lut was forcing his daughters to marry or giving them up as some sex slaves? common sense would tell you that he would only do that in a just way? like he would obviously make sure his daughter?s were married, and of course not force them. We see this all the time in communites, ?Don?t? fornicate! Here is my daughter/son (hands over a wallet sized picture, lol). they are educated, nice, scored a 1500 on the old SAT, blah blah. You will make a good match with them.?. Lol.
People are sick man, they will do anything to distort Islam.
1179?Prophet Lut?s people rejected his daughters and still preferred men
1184?Prophet Shu?aib was sent to the Madyan people.
11101?Allah did not wrong them (the people punished), they wronged their own souls.
11105?When the day of judgment arrives, no soul shall speak except by His (Allah?s) leave.
11107?People will dwell in hell forever, so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth.
Okay? so does that mean that hell will only be temporary for people? ?Except as they Lord willeth?. The commentary of the translator says that most scholars believe that hell is forever for all people? but I don?t know? let?s discuss this. I?m confused.
11108?Those who are blessed shall be in the Garden they will dwell therein so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as the Lord willeth a gift without break.
11114?Establish regular slat at the two ends of the day and at the approaches of the night.
Okay folks that?s all. Tonight we shall read Surah 12. I hope you all enjoy, and remember to post your notes too if you have some.
