Surah At-Taghabun (Loss and Gain)

This Surah is Madani, and it has 18 verses and 2 sections

In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Most Merciful

(He is the One who created you, then some of you are disbelievers, and some of you are believers... 64:2)

COMMENTARY: In the phrase fa-minkum the particle 'fa' [translated here as 'then'] denotes 'one thing happening after another '. In this instance, the phrase 'khalaqakum' [created you] indicates that at the inception of creation there were no unbelievers. Human beings were, subsequently, divided into believers and non-believers by their own free will and choice with which Allah has invested them. They are rewarded or punished on account of exercising the free will and choice. A Prophetic Tradition states: (Everyone is born a Muslim, but his parents make him a Jew, a Christian...) [Qurtubi]

~ Ma’aariful Qur’an ~
To be continued…

The Merciful One's eternal word
my heart awakens, soul enraptured;
it harks back to the ancient Covenant
made before my earthly existence.

clear is the message, recited, repeated
the guiding light of inspiration and healing,
declaring good tidings to the dutiful.
to the heedless, an admonishment and warning

peace to the Honoured Servant,
entrusted with the weighty mission,
carrying the unassailable miracle
revealed to a forgetful mankind
