Commentary of verses 37:1 to 37:5

One of the truths revealed through the Prophet is the existence of angels. Three of their key characteristics are mentioned here. First, they are wholly obedient to God, carrying out His commands without hesitation or objection. Second, there are groups of angels responsible for executing God's decrees upon humanity—whether through calamities, unexpected events, or other means He ordains. Third, angels bring divine guidance to people, either through inspiration to the hearts of believers or through revelation to the prophets.

Commentary of verses 37:6 to 37:10

The 'lowest heaven' likely refers to the region of space nearest to us, visible to the naked eye. Certain beings, such as the jinn, attempt to gain knowledge of the unseen. But even in this nearest part of the heavens, God has set barriers. When they venture too boldly, they are repelled by phenomena such as shooting stars, preventing them from unlocking secrets beyond their reach.

Commentary of verses 37:11 to 37:18

The universe we observe from Earth is vast and intricate, making the recreation of human beings in the Hereafter seem a far simpler task by comparison. If the Creator has fashioned something so great, why would it be beyond Him to create something smaller?

The human body itself is composed of earthly substances—water, calcium, iron, sodium, and more—all abundant on this planet. If God created us once from these very elements, why should it be difficult for Him to recreate us from the same materials?

Commentary of verses 37:19 to 37:26

In this world, people are constantly reminded of the Hereafter, yet they pay little attention. But when the Day of Resurrection arrives, its reality will overwhelm them completely. All arrogance will vanish, and people will be brought low before God. It will be an indescribably fearful scene. These verses describe the condition of humanity when gathered for judgement—a moment of complete and inescapable reckoning.

Commentary of verses 37:27 to 37:33

On the Day of Judgement, a conversation will unfold between misguided leaders and their followers. The followers will blame their leaders, claiming they were led astray. But the leaders will reject this, saying, 'No one forced you. You were arrogant and found our words pleasing because they matched your own desires. You followed your whims, not our commands. We are both equally guilty.'

In the end, both leaders and followers will face the same fate. The leaders' status will not save them, nor will the followers' excuses of ignorance or deception be accepted.

Commentary of verses 37:34 to 37:39

When the polytheists were told there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, they reacted with arrogance. This was not aimed at God Himself—His majesty is far beyond such insolence—but at His messenger. The call to monotheism threatened the standing of their tribal leaders, whose authority rested on the old religious order. Faced with a choice between a lone prophet and their powerful chiefs, most people dismissed the messenger as insignificant. Though truth and reason stood with him, worldly status stood with them. History shows that logic often loses ground to the appeal of visible power and social prestige.

Commentary of verses 37:40 to 37:49

This life is a test. People are granted freedom to act so that the sincere may be distinguished from the insincere.

Special blessings await them there, and they will be invited to remain forever in gardens filled with every comfort and delight.

Commentary of verses 37:50 to 37:59

Paradise will be a realm of beauty and meaningful activity—thoughtful conversations, joyful gatherings, and freedom from all hardship. True belief in the Hereafter is not passive acceptance, but a deep conviction that shapes one's entire life and choices. Those who mocked believers as foolish will be astonished to see their success. Even the believers themselves will be humbled by the generosity of Allah's reward for their modest good deeds. It is remarkable that anyone would not yearn for such a place or strive to reach it through right action.

Commentary of verse 37:60

During the building of the Ka'bah, Abraham and Ishmael prayed for a prophet to arise among the people of Makkah. That prayer was answered when the final prophet was decreed to come, with Makkah as his centre. Earlier messengers foretold his arrival. When he finally came, the Ka'bah was made the direction of prayer for all nations—a sign that the long-awaited prophet had arrived.

For the sincere, no further proof was needed. Yet even this clear sign did not convince those heedless of God. Only those who fear God are guided to Him. He remembers those who remember Him, and those filled with reverence for Him are freed from all other fears.

Commentary of verse 37:61

One who truly adopts religion has discovered God and lives in constant gratitude and remembrance. Such a life brings peace and happiness, though these will only be fully realised in the eternal world to come. This world is not for reward—it is a testing ground where God's servants face obstacles to distinguish the sincere from the insincere.

These trials appear in everyday life: desires, family pressures, worldly interests, and social expectations. Success requires recognising the test, remembering God, and remaining grateful. The only way through is patience and prayer—holding fast to truth despite all setbacks. Those who do not waver, who stay with God even when no worldly benefit appears, will emerge successful.

Preachers of truth face the greatest trials. Their message provokes hostility, especially from hypocrites whose falsehood is exposed. Yet those who lose everything for God's sake are the true gainers. Those who sacrifice this fleeting life inherit everlasting life. For those who do not seek paradise in this world, God has prepared an eternal one in the next.

Commentary of verses 37:62 to 37:71

The Quran describes the tree of Zaqqum in Hell, whose bitter fruit the inhabitants will eat out of hunger. When this was revealed, disbelievers in Arabia mocked it. One chief asked how a tree could grow in fire. Another noted that 'zaqqum' in another language simply meant dates and butter. Abu Jahl even invited people to his home, served them dates and butter, and said mockingly: "This is the zaqqum Muhammad threatens you with." Allah could have avoided such a word to prevent misuse, but He did not. This is part of the test: people must look past superficial objections and focus on the real message. Those who succeed are the ones who rise above tradition, see beyond appearances, and recognise and support the truth.

Abu Jahl even invited people to his home, served them dates and butter, and said mockingly: "This is the zaqqum Muhammad threatens you with." Allah could have avoided such a word to prevent misuse, but He did not. This is part of the test: people must look past superficial objections and focus on the real message. Those who succeed are the ones who rise above tradition, see beyond appearances, and recognise and support the truth.

Commentary of verse 37:72

Humanity has one God alone, worthy of our full devotion. Our very existence and every blessing we receive reflect His limitless mercy. In response, we should live as His faithful servants, dedicating our lives, our deaths, and our hopes to earning His eternal pleasure. We owe everything to our Creator. When we truly grasp this, our Lord becomes our everything, just as a mother is everything to her child.

Commentary of verse 37:73

The universe itself introduces us to God. Its sheer vastness proves a Creator exists. Despite containing opposing forces, everything functions in perfect harmony, revealing a single Sustainer. Each element benefits others, pointing to a deliberate, conscious design. Lifeless matter gains life through natural processes, showing death is temporary and always followed by renewal. Countless creatures thrive on the same basic provisions, demonstrating God's boundless power. The atmosphere enveloping the earth reminds us our lives rest entirely in His hands. Everything serves humanity's needs, reflecting His deep compassion. Before we are even born, all our necessities have been arranged.

These signs throughout creation reflect the Creator Himself. The universe declares God's existence, oneness, and perfection so clearly that anyone with vision or sense can discover Him. Yet these proofs benefit only those who sincerely reflect upon them. Reaching truth requires genuine seeking, rising above worldly concerns, and looking beyond surface appearances to the reality beneath.

Commentary of verse 37:74

Humans instinctively seek external support to overcome feelings of helplessness and gain confidence. Making something central to one's life in this way is like accepting it as divine. Whatever receives our deepest love, devotion, and reverence becomes our effective deity. Our nature demands a focus for these emotions, and whatever fills that role is treated as God.

Since God remains unseen in this world, people who judge by appearances often grant divine status to visible beings—usually distinguished leaders who command public attention. This void was meant to be filled by God alone, but many choose substitutes: figures surrounded by power, seated in ancient traditions, backed by large followings, or wrapped in mysterious legends. Ordinary people mistake such individuals for beings of extraordinary power.

Yet in God's universe, no one possesses true power except Him. These false attachments matter only while God stays hidden. On Judgement Day, when He appears, everything changes. Relationships once held precious will prove meaningless. People will flee from one another, looking back in despair, helpless to change anything, able only to regret what cannot be undone.

Commentary of verses 37:75 to 37:82

When his own people turned against him, Noah called upon Allah for help—and received it. This shows that sincere supplication brings a powerful response. But such a response comes after prolonged, patient effort. Noah had called his people to the truth for nearly nine hundred and fifty years with wisdom, forbearance, and goodwill. Only after this long struggle did he finally pray for divine intervention. His opponents were destroyed in a great flood that wiped out the entire nation. A new generation emerged from the small group of believers who were saved with him on the ark.

Commentary of verses 37:83 to 37:87

Abraham followed the same faith as Noah. All prophets were sent to convey Allah's creation plan and guide people to purify themselves in this life. Humanity was created with a natural inclination towards goodness. The test is to resist worldly temptations and stand before God free from selfish desires and corruption. Such souls will enter Paradise. To associate partners with Allah is to diminish His greatness. When someone fails to recognise Allah as supreme, they become distracted by false sources of power and end up worshipping them instead.

Commentary of verses 37:88 to 37:97

Abraham's people were leaving town for a festival. His family invited him along, but he excused himself. Once everyone had gone, he entered the temple at night and destroyed the idols inside. This act came only after reasoned argument had repeatedly failed. When logic could not convince them of the idols' falsehood, Abraham demonstrated it physically—if they had been real gods, they would have defended themselves. Enraged, the people tried to burn him alive, but Allah saved him. Afterward, Abraham left Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). He then prayed for a righteous child whom he could raise as a sincere believer and servant of Allah, one who would continue the mission of calling people to monotheism after him.

Commentary of verse 37:98

Fasting is inherently an act of patience, requiring endurance to fulfil God's commands. This discipline draws us closer to Him. Only those who surrender completely find God; only those whose hearts align with His will are truly heard. The command to fast is followed by the prohibition against consuming others' property unjustly, revealing fasting's true purpose: cultivating submission so complete that we instantly obey when God forbids something. Fasting teaches us that if God asks us to abstain even from lawful things, we must do so without hesitation. One who can leave what is permissible for God's sake will find it easy to avoid what He has forbidden.

Commentary of verse 37:99

A believer's life is one of restraint. Throughout life, certain things must be avoided. Ramadan provides training for this. The discipline of fasting teaches that a true servant of God worships at the level of taqwa, living with piety and consciousness of Him. God responds only to those who draw near through sacrifice and devotion.

Commentary of verse 37:100

The moon's phases exist simply to measure time. The superstitious wrongly believe waxing moons bring good fortune and waning moons bad luck. In reality, the moon serves as nature's calendar in the sky, helping people organise both worldly affairs and worship. Yet many mistake outward observance for true religiosity.

Commentary of verses 37:101 to 37:113

Fear also stops people from accepting truth. Rain is a great blessing, yet thunder and lightning frighten the faint-hearted. God's revelation through His prophets affects some similarly. It promises great success but demands temporary risks: losing worldly status, challenging established norms. This fear causes hesitation or paralysis. Yet such caution gains nothing. Those who do not respond wholeheartedly to God's call will be deprived of His blessings in this life and the next.

Commentary of verses 37:102 to 37:111

In Abraham's time, idolatry was so deeply entrenched that children grew up surrounded by it, making them nearly immune to change—even by a prophet. When Abraham left Iraq after years of effort, only two believed with him: his wife Sarah and his nephew Lot. Allah planned to raise a new people, nurtured far from polytheism. He chose the barren desert of Hijaz—dry, uninhabited, and remote. Settling anyone there was like offering them as a living sacrifice. Allah commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael, and Abraham submitted. Prophethood continued through Abraham's second son, Isaac, until the coming of the final Prophet—from the line of Ishmael, the younger brother. Prophet Muhammad brought a revolution that dismantled the dominance of polytheism forever.

Commentary of verse 37:112

The Quran undoubtedly guides, but only those sincerely seeking truth and eager for guidance. Truth-seeking is innate; we need only uncover our true nature to find it. Seeking and finding are early and advanced stages of the same journey. A sincere search awakens the inner self. With God's help, vague yearnings receive clear answers. The desire to perceive hidden meanings behind visible forms transforms into faith in the unseen. The urge to submit becomes worship of the Almighty. The wish for self-sacrifice becomes spending for God's cause. Questions about life's final outcome find answers in belief in the Hereafter.

Discovering truth raises consciousness to supreme reality. Those who find it become free souls, seeing truth as it is. Wherever truth appears, whoever speaks it, they recognise and accept it immediately. No rigidity or prejudice stands between them and truth. God protects such people. His order embraces them, guiding them surely in this world, with Paradise awaiting them in the next. Only seekers find truth. Those who seek will surely find. On this path, seeking and finding are inseparable.

Commentary of verses 37:114 to 37:122

Allah granted Prophet Moses and the Israelites relief from Pharaoh's tyranny. This deliverance came not through violent revolt, but through the patient work of calling people to the truth. Moses stood before Pharaoh and conveyed the divine message with clarity and courage. Only after his mission of guidance had run its full course did the time arrive for judgment. Pharaoh's guilt became plain, and destruction followed. Meanwhile, Moses and his followers were granted victory and ascendancy.

The 'straight path' mentioned here includes the solution Allah revealed to them: that even a problem as grave as Pharaoh's oppression must be met first with dawah—with sincere invitation to God's way. Their triumph was not won through armed rebellion or political struggle in the conventional sense, but through steadfast proclamation of truth and reliance on divine support.

Allah granted Prophet Moses and the Israelites relief from Pharaoh's tyranny. This deliverance came not through violent revolt, but through the patient work of calling people to the truth. Moses stood before Pharaoh and conveyed the divine message with clarity and courage. Only after his mission of guidance had run its full course did the time arrive for judgment. Pharaoh's guilt became plain, and destruction followed. Meanwhile, Moses and his followers were granted victory and ascendancy.

The 'straight path' mentioned here includes the solution Allah revealed to them: that even a problem as grave as Pharaoh's oppression must be met first with dawah—with sincere invitation to God's way. Their triumph was not won through armed rebellion or political struggle in the conventional sense, but through steadfast proclamation of truth and reliance on divine support.

Commentary of verses 37:123 to 37:132

Prophet Elijah (Ilyas), likely a descendant of Aaron, lived in ninth-century Palestine during the reign of King Ahab. At that time, neighbouring Lebanon was ruled by Phoenicians who worshipped the idol Baal. Ahab married a Phoenician princess, and under her influence, idol worship spread among the Jewish people. Elijah rose to call them back to the worship of the One God—the faith of their forefathers.

The Bible records his story in detail. Only a small number of Jews supported him, while many opposed and even plotted to kill him. Yet Elijah persevered, and in time he came to be honoured among his people as a great prophet. His example illustrates the loneliness and danger that often accompany the prophetic mission, as well as the lasting honour that follows faithfulness to God.

Commentary of verses 37:133 to 37:138

Prophet Lot, the nephew of Abraham, was sent to guide the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, settlements near the Dead Sea. The inhabitants worshipped false gods and rejected Lot's warnings. Their persistent disbelief eventually brought down divine punishment, and all were destroyed except Lot and his faithful followers.

The ruins of these towns lay along routes travelled by the Quraysh in their trade journeys to Syria and Palestine. They passed by these silent remnants time and again. Yet people rarely draw lessons from the fate of others. We take notice of misfortunes when they affect us directly, but the warnings written in history often go unheeded. These remains were visible reminders of what happens when a people turn away from truth and refuse guidance.

Commentary of verses 37:139 to 37:148

Prophet Jonah (Yunus) was sent to the ancient Iraqi city of Nineveh in the eighth century BC. After calling his people to faith for some time, he concluded they would not accept the message and left the city prematurely. He boarded an overloaded boat, possibly on the Tigris. When it seemed the vessel might sink, lots were drawn to lighten the load, and Jonah's name was chosen. He was cast into the water.

By God's command, a great fish swallowed him, then carried him safely to shore. This was a divine sign that he should return. Jonah went back to Nineveh and resumed his mission with patience. Remarkably, all one hundred and twenty-five thousand inhabitants eventually believed. The lesson is clear: a caller to truth must endure with patience, even in the face of hostility, and not abandon his duty before its time.

Commentary of verses 37:149 to 37:157

False ideas and satanic whispers, combined with human distortion, led people to absurd beliefs—such as claiming that angels are the daughters of God. This notion was baseless and contradicted even the polytheists' own low regard for women. If their reasoning held, surely God would have chosen sons instead. Yet they persisted in these foolish assertions.

Such statements are not merely errors; they are grave offences against the truth. Those who spread these lies will be held to account on the Day of Judgement. Their words dishonour both God and His creation, and reveal the extent to which falsehood can take root when people abandon reason and revelation.

Commentary of verses 37:158 to 37:166

Some people wrongly believed that jinn are equal opponents of God, or that spiritual powers are divided between angels and jinn—angels bringing good, jinn causing harm. This is a dangerous delusion. Others, such as the Zoroastrians, held similar beliefs in dual deities: Yazdan for good, Aherman for evil. All such notions are false.

Human beings invent these ideas and then worship angels or spirits accordingly. Yet the angels themselves do no such thing. They constantly glorify the One True God and submit to Him alone. There is no rivalry in the heavens, no division of power. All creation, seen and unseen, acknowledges the absolute sovereignty of Allah. To believe otherwise is to be led astray by baseless speculation.

Commentary of verses 37:158 to 37:166

Some people wrongly believed that jinn are equal opponents of God, or that spiritual powers are divided between angels and jinn—angels bringing good, jinn causing harm. This is a dangerous delusion. Others, such as the Zoroastrians, held similar beliefs in dual deities: Yazdan for good, Aherman for evil. All such notions are false.

Human beings invent these ideas and then worship angels or spirits accordingly. Yet the angels themselves do no such thing. They constantly glorify the One True God and submit to Him alone. There is no rivalry in the heavens, no division of power. All creation, seen and unseen, acknowledges the absolute sovereignty of Allah. To believe otherwise is to be led astray by baseless speculation.

Commentary of verses 37:167 to 37:175

In ancient times, when Arabs heard that other nations had rejected their prophets, they boasted that they would never do such a thing. They pitied those who had refused guidance and claimed that if a messenger had come to them, they would have listened and believed. Yet when a prophet was actually sent among them, they rejected him just as others had done before.

This is a common human failing: we see clearly the faults of others but remain blind to our own. Throughout history, people have dismissed the warnings of God's messengers. Yet truth will always prevail, regardless of opposition. The word of God will be established, and those who call to it will be vindicated, even if the unbelievers mock and resist.

Commentary of verses 37:176 to 37:182

The prophets warned their people of the consequences of rejecting God's message. Yet many paid no heed, even mocking the messengers for failing to bring immediate punishment. They reasoned that if the prophets were truly sent by God, divine retribution would follow swiftly.

However, God's wisdom works differently. Punishment is delayed not out of weakness, but to allow time for the message to be fully delivered and understood. The work of dawah must reach completion. For this reason, the prophets were commanded to be patient and to avoid confrontation until the appointed time. Only when the period of respite has ended—at God's decree—does judgment fall. This delay is a mercy, offering every opportunity for repentance before accountability arrives.
