Hud 67: And that terrible sound (blast) captured the oppressors and they remained kneeling lifeless in their homes.

A. Metin Saruhan · 5 June 2017 · Hud

Translation

And that terrible sound (blast) captured the oppressors and they remained kneeling lifeless in their homes.

Tafsir

The people who did not believe in Allah and the Hereafter, the people who killed the camel that Allah had shown them as a miracle by cutting off its legs, the people who were cruel to their souls, were seized by that terrible sound. With a shout, they fell on their knees in their homeland.

The punishment for disobeying Allah and His commands is humiliation in this world and a painful torment in the Hereafter.

What is said in the video

Surah Hud, verse 67 The terrible cry seized those who did wrong, and in their homes they were left fallen on their knees.

Allah Almighty, upon them, with a cry, with what a terrible cry, bursting their galls with terror, the people were left collapsed on their knees where they were. Whether this verse is true or not, they investigated. They said Allah is free from any deficient attribute. Indeed, this — Hud's people, Salih's people, I mean — they investigated. In that town too they carried out excavations. They did. And indeed they found the people collapsed on their knees. With their skeletons. Yes. The miracles of our Lord.

The people who believed in neither Allah nor the Hereafter, who the miracle Allah showed them, His camel, killed by cutting its legs, a people unjust to their own selves — them that terrible cry seized. With that one cry they were left collapsed on their knees in their land. So the punishment for opposing Allah and His command is humiliation in this world and, in the Hereafter, a painful punishment. May Allah protect us all from such a punishment. Why do we worship? Why do we fast? To attain our Lord's mercy. So that we may inherit the paradises our Lord has promised us. Because we know the worldly realm is passing and the Hereafter lasting, in this world we (?) with our desires of the nafs; the temptation Satan gives us we oppose; the pressure two-legged taghuts put on us we stand against, conceding nothing to them, within Allah's command acting, so as to remain heirs to the paradises our Lord has promised us in the Hereafter — that is why we worship.

May Allah grant us all, in return for the worship we perform, to attain our Lord's mercy. Yes, and may He make the fasts we have kept, in His presence, acceptable and accept them.
