84 - SURAH AL INSHIQAQ

 

AL INSHIQAQ
(Opening To Release The Truth)

SUMMARY 

 

The lower consciousness is fully developed when it possesses the ability to perceive beyond the limitations of its own reality. It gains the capacity to perceive what is typically imperceptible. This surah focuses on unblocking these limitations and initiating the release of the knowledge of truth from the higher consciousness, in accordance with the ability to perceive and distinguish by the lower consciousness. 

 

Unblocking limitations requires introspection to identify the barriers that obstruct liberation. Those who diligently endeavor to dismantle the internal barriers and succeed in drawing near to their Lord, will receive their inherent script in their right hand. This symbolizes their heightened capacity for independent thinking, rationality, strength, and authority.

The primary reason they encounter limitations is their inclination to return to the familiar, driven by their affection. They find their inherent script placed behind them, symbolizing a disconnect from their Lord, discarding the guidance provided by their Lord, and attempting to assert control with restless minds. This mindset is rooted in narrow perspectives, failing to recognize the capacity of their thoughts to embody reason, strength, and authority. Consequently, Allah bestows insight in the form of encroaching fear as they deviate from His guidance, leading to the encirclement of intense conflicts. Moreover, Allah offers insight with an encroaching fear of deception and its consequences when it reaches its pinnacle. Consequently, their minds remain occupied, jumping from one thought to another, resembling a monkey mind and forgetting to unblock their limitations.

Why don't they find solace in their inherent script (Al Kitab)? The reason is that when they receive the inspiration of their inherent script, they fail to surrender to it. They deny and become among those who reject Allah's message, except for those who find security in Allah's message. They will never lose their strength, even in moments of weakness.

With the name Allah (the All-Encompassing Source whose name encompasses the measurements of existence and the unfolding chain of events leading to all observable outcomes), the Rahmaan, the Raheem. (The Rahmaan is the boundless system of factual knowledge and the Raheem is the grace bestowed upon those who sincerely seek and engage with this wisdom through the guidance of Ar Rahmaan).

84.1    When the samaa'a / higher consciousness 'unshaqqat / split open (unveiling the truth for liberation),

84.2    And azinat / willingly permited to its Rabb / Lord and huqqat / was more truthful, 

 

84.3    And when the ardh / lower consciousness muddat / has been developed,

84.4    And alqat / release what (the truth) within it and takhollat / give out according to measurement (of the ability of its lower consciousness)

84.5    And azinat / willingly permited to its Rabb / Lord and hukkat / was more truthful,

84.6    O insaan / intellect aligned with the truth, indeed you kaadihun / are working hard (to be successful) toward your Rabb / Lord, kadhan / a work familaaqihi / so that (you) will attain (knowledge of the truth).

84.7    Then as for he who is given his kitaaba / inherent script biyaminihi / with his right (experience based on factual knowledge),

84.8    He yuhaasabu / will be considered, hisaaban yasiran / an easy consideration,

84.9    And return (by the pull of his affection) to ahlihi / his acquaintance, masruran / delightfully.

84.10    But as for he who is given kitaabahu / his inherent script behind his back (signifying cutting off his communication with his Rabb / Lord and wanting to be in control),

84.11    Then soon, yad'u / he will call out (for) thuburan /

(in) a state of restricted mind (narrow minded)

84.12    And burn intensely.

84.13    Indeed, he had been among his ahli / those acquainted in a delightness;

84.14    Indeed, he zhonna / had been certain he would never yahur / will produce pure thoughts.

84.15    Rather indeed, his Rabb / Lord was with him, an insight.

84.16    So no, I uqsimu / swear (that I will give insight) with the shafaqi / encroaching fear

84.17    And the darkness (when there is no guidance) and what it envelops

84.18    And the qamar / deception when it becomes complete,

84.19    You will surely embark from thobaqan / an embarkation (of thought to) embarkation (to another thought like monkey mind).

84.20    So what is with them they do not yukminun / take security (in Al Kitab),

84.21    And when the Qur'an / expression of truth is recited to them, they do not yasjudun / submit?

84.22    Rather those who have kafaru / rejected, deny (Al Kitab),

84.23    And Allah is most knowing with what they yu'un / think.

84.24    So give them bashar / sensible thoughts with a painful punishment,

84.25    Except those who are aamanu / take security (in Al Kitab) and do 'amilu sollehat / corrective deeds. To them is a reward of ghairu mamnun / unfailing strength (when they are weak).

83 - SURAH AL MUTOFFIFIN

 

AL MUTOFFIFIN
(The Ones Who Pass Premature Judgment)

SUMMARY

This surah pertains to those who are within reach but hastily pass judgment on the truth when their discernment is not yet fully developed. Genuine judgment cannot be expressed until discernment matures. If judgment is prematurely formed, it remains an immature manifestation of discernment. A fully developed discernment represents the mature capacity to perceive, differentiate, and distinguish truth. This is the means to align with the truth.

The surah begins with a condemnation to those who rush to judgment. These individuals prioritize their intellect over their agitated minds, hindering the development of discernment due to biases, preconceived notions, fear, the desire for superiority, and a lack of information. They place significant emphasis on their intellect while neglecting the inspiration of the truth from their Lord. Furthermore, they harbor uncertainty regarding the aakhirah (ending), the dissolution of the duniya (worldly existence), and the resurrection of the true self.

Certainly, the moment of Aakhirah, marking the end of Duniya and the resurrection of one's true self, will come. During this moment, the inherent script of those who deny Allah's message is consigned to Sijjeen, a place of imprisonment where their inherent script is held back from reaching their restless minds. Undoubtedly, they are veiled from their own inherent script. On the contrary, the inherent script for the Abrar, those who hold deep affection for Allah's messages, resides in Illiyyin, a realm of elevated consciousness. They are the ones who draw near to their inherent script, completely absorbed, and their consciousness sealed in the contemplation of truth.

Indeed, the Mutoffifin are those from among the Ahle Kitab, or those acquainted with the inherent script, who have transgressed due to their intense captivation with their own nas, or agitated minds. Have the Mutoffifin been rewarded for the transgressions they've committed in the premature judgment of the truth?

With the name Allah (the All-Encompassing Source whose name encompasses the measurements of existence and the unfolding chain of events leading to all observable outcomes), the Rahmaan, the Raheem. (The Rahmaan is the boundless system of factual knowledge and the Raheem is the grace bestowed upon those who sincerely seek and engage with this wisdom through the guidance of Ar Rahmaan).

83.1    Woe to the mutoffifin / ones who passed premature judgment (judgment based on incomplete understanding), 

 

83.2    They are those who, when they take iktaalu / (their) intellect over an-nas / the agitated mind, yastawfun / wholly and in completeness. 

 

83.3    And when they kaalu / take (their) intellect or they zanuu / put great importance (to their own intellect), yuhsirun / they will lose. 

 

83.4    Are they not yazhunnu / certain that they are those who mab'uthun / in a state of resurrection (of true self), 

 

83.5    For a great moment..  

 

83.6    Moment of the an-nas / the agitated mind will quumu / establish (aakhirah / ending of duniya and resurrection of true self) before Rabb / Lord of the aalamin / all empirically evidenced and factual knowledge? 

 

83.7    No! Indeed, kitaaba / inherent script of the fajjari / wicked is in sijjeen / imprisonment (your inherent script is restrained when you become wicked). 

 

83.8    And do you know what is sijjeen / imprisonment (where you inherent script is restrained)?

83.9    Kitabun / an inherent script marqum / imprinted (in the consciousness).

83.10    Woe, that moment to the deniers,

83.11    They are those who deny with the moment of the deen / indebted obligations to consciously obey (Allah's systems, law and judgement).

83.12    And none deny with it save every sinful transgressor.

83.13    When Our verses are recited to him (so that His servant will discern the message received), he says, "tales of the awwalin / earlier thoughts."

83.14    No! Rather, raana / stain (from denial) has covered qulubihim / their hearts of that which yaksibun / they earn.

83.15    No! Indeed, from their Rabb / Lord, that moment, surely will be veiled (from their kitab / inherent script).

83.16    Then indeed, they will abide in the jahim / unenlightenment / (where  he will be burned, disgraced, abandoned).

83.17    Then it will be said, "This is those who are with it, tukazzibun / used to deny."

83.18    No! Indeed, kitaba / inherent script of the abrar / affectionate is in 'illiyyin / elevated consciousness.

83.19    And what do you know what is 'illiyyun / elevated consciousness?

83.20    Kitabun / an inherent script, marqum / imprinted (in the consciousness).

83.21    Witness of the muqarrabun / those who are near to truth.

83.22    Indeed, the abrar / truthfulness (of their covenant) will be in na'im / enlightening knowledge.

83.23    Over the araa'ika / the support (upon your Rabb / Lord), in certainty.

83.24    Ta'rifu / know in wujuhihim / their focus to care (for growth), nadhratal na'im / radiance of enlightening knowledge,

83.25    Absorbed from rahiqin / most excellent knowledge, makhtumin / sealed.

83.26    Its seal is miskun / held firmly.  And in that then tanafas / breathing in (of the discernment of truth), of the mutanaafisun / one who breathe in the truth. 

83.27    And its blending is from tasneem / elevation of knowledge (in the consciousness),

83.28    'Ainan / a perception absorbed inwardly with it, the muqarrabun / those who are near the truth.

83.29    Indeed, they (the mutoffifin) are those who are ajramu / violated the covenant from those who aamanu / took security (in Al Kitab), (with a ) yadhakun / cynical smile.

83.30    And when they marru / passed with them (the mujrimun), yataghamazun / intimidating squint.

83.31    And when they returned to ahlihim / those acquainted (in transgression), they would return fakihin / full of captivation (with agitation and restlessness).

83.32    And when they (the mutoffifin) saw them (the mukmin), they would say, "Indeed, those are astray."

83.33    And (claimed that) they were sent as khofizhun / guardians over them.

83.34    Then the moment those who aamanu / take security (in Al Kitab) from the kuffar / rejecters, yadhakun / (with a) cynical smile,

83.35    On the araai'ki / support (from your Rabb / Lord), yanzhurun / observing.

83.36    Have the kuffar / rejecters been rewarded for what they used to do?
