Commentary of verses 27:1 to 27:6

When someone truly accepts the truth, they find themselves naturally guided along the right path, and their life becomes upright in every way. However, those unwilling to align themselves with the truth often distort reality to fit their own desires. This leads to a twisted mindset where their wrong actions seem right to them. They create false justifications, and over time, these self-deceptions take hold so firmly that they genuinely believe their misdeeds are virtuous.

Those whom Allah allows to see their wrong as good are those who are not sincere in seeking the truth. They become complacent, never striving to reform themselves. This dangerous self-delusion carries a heavy consequence: the path they walk leads them directly to ruin.

Commentary of verses 27:7 to 27:8

After leaving Egypt for Midian on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) stayed there for eight years. He then set off with his wife towards Egypt. During the journey, on a cold night near a mountain called Tur (now known as Gebel Moses), he noticed what appeared to be a fire in the distance. Approaching it, he discovered it was not an ordinary flame but divine light, and from there he heard the voice of Allah.

An ancient tree still stands at the site, believed by some to be the very tree near which Musa received his prophetic call. Christians later built a church and monastery there, which remains a place of pilgrimage to this day.

Commentary of verses 27:9 to 27:14

Musa had gone to the mountain seeking fire, but unexpectedly received prophethood instead. Allah often grants His blessings suddenly so that the recipient recognises them as divine gifts, fostering deep gratitude. Musa's people, the Children of Israel, though believers, had spiritually declined, and he was tasked with conveying Allah's message to the tyrant Pharaoh.

To prepare him, Allah blessed Musa with the miracle of the staff at the outset of his mission. This staff became a lasting source of divine power, through which nine miracles were performed before Pharaoh, alongside others for the Israelites. These miracles clearly demonstrated Musa's truthfulness. Yet Pharaoh and his court rejected him, not out of ignorance, but due to arrogance, defiance, and fear of losing their status. Accepting the truth would mean surrendering their pride and power—something they refused to do.

Commentary of verses 27:15 to 27:16

Dawud was both a prophet and king of the Children of Israel, and his son Sulayman succeeded him in both roles. Sulayman's kingdom stretched from Palestine to Transjordan. Allah granted him vast knowledge and miraculous abilities, including understanding the language of birds and training them to carry messages.

Despite his unmatched power and superiority over his contemporaries, Sulayman remained profoundly humble. He recognised everything he possessed as a gift from Allah, never attributing any of it to his own merit. His reign lasted from approximately 965 to 926 BC.

Commentary of verses 27:17 to 27:19

Sulayman's army included not only humans but also jinn and birds. Once, while passing through a valley filled with ants, he understood their conversation as they warned each other of the approaching army. For most people, such an extraordinary ability would lead to pride. But for Sulayman, it only deepened his gratitude to Allah. He fully acknowledged that everything he had came from Allah alone—this is the hallmark of a truly pious and righteous person.

Commentary of verses 27:20 to 27:26

The Sabeans were a prosperous ancient people (c. 1100–115 BC) who lived in Ma'arib, Yemen, where their grand ruins still stand. During Sulayman's time, they were ruled by Queen Sheba (Bilqis). Misled by Satan, they worshipped the sun, believing that the most prominent visible object deserved worship.

Sulayman learned detailed information about the Sabeans through a hoopoe bird, likely part of his trained army of birds. This bird's report revealed a people who had turned away from the worship of Allah, choosing instead to bow before creation.

Commentary of verses 27:27 to 27:35

The Queen of Sheba assessed the situation wisely. She knew that resisting Sulayman's might would likely end in defeat and subjugation, as victorious armies typically treat the conquered. Surrender, on the other hand, might preserve her people's dignity. To test Sulayman's intentions, she first sent him gifts, hoping to determine whether he was motivated by wealth or guided by a higher principle.

Commentary of verses 27:36 to 27:37

In Sulayman's eyes, the priceless treasure of prophethood and the knowledge of Allah far outweighed any worldly wealth. When the Queen of Sheba's emissaries presented him with gold and silver, he paid them no attention. His response made it clear that his concern was not material gain but a matter of faith and principle. As Ibn Kathir explains, Sulayman was effectively saying: do you think you can bribe me into ignoring your idolatry and leaving your kingdom unchallenged?

Sulayman's power and kingdom were divine gifts, and so too was the manner in which he confronted the Sabeans. His words carried the authority of Allah's dominion, a tone unique among the prophets.

Commentary of verses 27:38 to 27:40

Solomon, despite his immense power, chose to demonstrate his authority rather than impose it by force. He arranged for the Queen of Sheba's throne to be transported from her palace in Ma'arib to Jerusalem through a special agent. This decision came after the Queen set out to meet him personally, following the return of her diplomatic envoys who had conveyed Solomon's wisdom and the splendour of his court.

The journey from Ma'arib to Jerusalem spanned approximately fifteen hundred miles. Yet the throne appeared before Solomon the instant he commanded it, covering this vast distance in mere moments. Even with such extraordinary power at his disposal, Solomon remained humble and free from pride. He did not allow worldly might to corrupt his character, instead maintaining his devotion to God and his awareness that all power belongs to the Almighty alone.

Commentary of verses 27:41 to 27:44

When the Queen of Sheba arrived in Jerusalem, she was asked whether the throne she saw resembled her own. To her astonishment, she confirmed it was identical to the throne she had left secured in her palace fifteen hundred miles away. This marvel demonstrated powers beyond ordinary comprehension.

Inside Solomon's palace, she encountered a floor made of transparent glass with water flowing beneath. Mistaking it for a pool, she lifted her garment to avoid getting wet. Solomon explained it was merely glass, teaching her a profound lesson: outward appearances often deceive, and inner reality differs from what we perceive. Just as she had mistaken glass for water, people worship the sun and moon because of their visible prominence, whilst the true God exists beyond such physical forms.

The Queen had worshipped the sun according to her nation's traditions. However, through what she witnessed and heard in Solomon's company, all false notions of divinity were removed from her heart. She renounced polytheism and embraced the pure monotheism he taught.

Commentary of verses 27:45 to 27:47

When Salih called his people to worship God alone, the community divided into two groups. The influential leaders rejected his message outright, too invested in their own status to accept the pure faith he preached. Meanwhile, some from amongst the ordinary people responded positively to his call.

The community's leaders openly declared their disbelief, challenging God to bring whatever punishment He wished. When difficulties arose, they blamed Salih and his followers, claiming their presence brought ill fortune. These words were not born of genuine reflection but were intended to humiliate the prophet and undermine his message.

In truth, all circumstances—whether favourable or difficult—came from God. The prosperous times fed their arrogance, whilst hardships became occasions for complaint. The appearance of a prophet amongst them was a divine test: would they recognise the truth and support it, or remain spiritually blind? They failed this test. Their preoccupation with material concerns prevented them from grasping the reality before them.

Commentary of verses 27:48 to 27:52

Nine powerful chiefs dominated this community. To preserve their privileged positions, they continuously worked to suppress the truth—an act that represents one of the gravest forms of corruption on earth. Eventually, these chiefs conspired to murder Salih. Before they could execute their secret plan, however, God's judgement overtook them.

Despite all their might and influence, they were utterly destroyed. Today, only the crumbling ruins of their ancient towns remain as monuments to their downfall. Such historical events contain profound lessons, but only for those who connect them to God's eternal laws. Those who attribute everything to mere physical causes cannot learn from such examples.

To preserve their privileged positions, they continuously worked to suppress the truth—an act that represents one of the gravest forms of corruption on earth. Eventually, these chiefs conspired to murder Salih. Before they could execute their secret plan, however, God's judgement overtook them.

Despite all their might and influence, they were utterly destroyed. Today, only the crumbling ruins of their ancient towns remain as monuments to their downfall. Such historical events contain profound lessons, but only for those who connect them to God's eternal laws. Those who attribute everything to mere physical causes cannot learn from such examples.

Commentary of verses 27:53 to 27:59

The people of Lot had descended into extreme sexual immorality, including homosexuality. Lot appealed to their conscience, saying they had been given eyes to observe and moral sense to distinguish right from wrong. How could they engage in such blatant shamelessness? Unable to refute his words with logical arguments, they resorted to threats of violence against him.

When matters reached this point, the time came for God's final decision. They were destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Even Lot's wife was not spared, as she too was amongst the disbelievers. God judges individuals according to their personal conduct, not based on family connections or worldly relationships.

Reflecting on these historical events should move a person to express gratitude to God, who has provided guidance to humanity in every age. It should also inspire deep respect for those who dedicated their lives to fulfilling the mission of conveying God's guidance to all people.

Commentary of verses 27:60 to 27:61

The theories put forward by atheists and agnostics, presented as chains of cause and effect, fall woefully short of explaining the creation of the unimaginably vast universe. Neither the countless celestial bodies floating in boundless space nor the intricate systems that make the earth habitable can be attributed to idols or blind physical laws. These phenomena are too magnificent and too perfectly coordinated to have occurred without a conscious Creator.

Any attempt to explain the universe without reference to God amounts to a false explanation of reality. Such explanations are mere fabrications, not genuine accounts of how things truly came to be. The universe bears witness to the existence and power of its Creator.

Commentary of verses 27:62 to 27:64

Human needs are fulfilled through perfect coordination amongst countless factors in the universe. Who, other than Almighty God, could orchestrate such vast and intricate arrangements? Consider the succession of nations and civilisations, ships sailing across oceans, aeroplanes flying through darkness and daylight using modern technology, water vapour rising from the sea and falling as rain, the creation of things from nothing, and their eventual resurrection. Consider also the abundant provision made available to humanity on a grand scale.

All these phenomena occur solely through the power of God. Every single event in the world requires the activation of innumerable factors, and only the Being who controls the entire universe can bring them together. In this context, how foolish it is to make anyone or anything other than God the object of worship and devotion.

Commentary of verses 27:65 to 27:69

Those who heard the prophets' message did not completely deny the Hereafter. Rather, they rejected the specific understanding of it that the prophets presented. People assumed the Hereafter was a concern for others, not themselves. The prophets clarified that it was just as relevant to them as to anyone else.

Many believed their attachment to saints or holy persons would secure their salvation in the Hereafter. The prophets taught that only God's grace—not any human connection—would avail them. This created mental confusion. Whilst some openly denied the Hereafter, most people wavered. Accepting it meant curtailing their liberties and pleasures, so their selfish inclinations resisted, leading them to express doubt rather than certainty.

Because of this mindset, they never seriously considered the arguments supporting belief in the Hereafter, remaining spiritually blind and deaf. The truth is that the power to determine the fate of nations belongs exclusively to God. In this world, His decisions are enforced partially, but in the Hereafter, His judgement will be complete and final for all.

Commentary of verses 27:70 to 27:75

When believers are told not to grieve, it is not to suppress their emotions, but to reassure them that truth will ultimately prevail despite present difficulties. Opponents believe they are challenging a mere human messenger, yet in reality they oppose God Himself. Their temporary success is only part of the test allowed during our earthly trial. Once this period ends, God's judgement will arrive and all resistance will dissolve. No greater folly exists than mistaking this brief respite for unlimited freedom to act with arrogance.

Human beings possess sight, hearing, and reason. When used sincerely, these faculties reveal truth with clarity. Yet wrong conditioning blinds people even when reality stands before them. Guidance reaches only those genuinely seeking it; without this inner desire, no teaching will help. A seeker of truth must cultivate acceptance—the willingness to follow what evidence confirms. Those who ignore God's call may eventually submit to His decree, but submission after the test has ended brings no benefit.

Commentary of verses 27:82 to 27:86

When God decrees the end of earthly life, extraordinary signs will appear. Among them is the emergence of a communicator (dabbah), marking the final phase rather than its beginning. This may refer to modern mass communication—the internet and multimedia—announcing the close of humanity's test.

On Judgement Day, people will be divided: believers on one side, deniers on the other. The latter will be asked what rational grounds led them to reject the truth. Their silence will expose that denial stemmed from stubbornness, not reason, despite their false arguments. They will realise that even the cycle of day and night proclaimed truth silently—sleep symbolising death, waking symbolising resurrection. Despite such clear signs, they failed to recognise reality.

Commentary of verses 27:87 to 27:90

In this world, truth is denied mainly due to lack of fear of God. This fearlessness breeds arrogance and indifference. But when the test concludes and the trumpet sounds on Judgement Day, people will discover their boldness was rooted in ignorance. All worldly greatness will crumble like sand. It will be so overwhelming that even mountains will collapse.

At that moment, all power will belong to God alone, and all will be humbled. What seemed important in life will lose all value. Only righteous deeds will matter. Those considered failures in the world will succeed, while the seemingly successful will face eternal loss.

Commentary of verses 27:91 to 27:92

The mention of 'this town' (Makkah) addresses the Quran's first audience, yet it reminds all humanity of an eternal truth: the only true path is to worship the One God. The preacher's duty is to convey this message, though it may appear powerless. Listeners must recognise God's authority behind these words. Those who do so will earn God's eternal favour.

Commentary of verse 27:93

This verse contains a prediction with two dimensions. Firstly, it refers to the Quraysh of Makkah, who witnessed God's signs during early Islam, notably through the conquest of Makkah. Secondly, it relates to the Quran's timeless guidance. Modern scientific discoveries also fall within the scope of this prophecy, continually revealing truths embedded in the Quran.
