Day 301 · Surah At-Tur Verses 1-31

At-Tur 1–31

Great oaths affirm that punishment will surely befall the disbelievers, then described are the blessings of the inhabitants of Paradise who are reunited with their believing descendants.

• Oaths by Mount Tur, the Book of Records, the Baitul Makmur, the heaven, and the flaming sea affirm that punishment will certainly come and no one will escape from it.
• Those who deny are cast into Hell then asked whether it is sorcery or invisible, and it is said that whether patient or impatient, the recompense is the same.
• The God-conscious are saved from Hell, reclining on couches arranged neatly, enjoying food, fruits, meat, and delicious drinks that do not intoxicate.
• Their believing descendants are reunited with them, and each receives recompense according to their deeds.
• The Messenger is commanded to continue warning and it is affirmed that he is neither a soothsayer nor mad, though accused of being a poet awaiting misfortune.

Verses 1-14 of Surah At-Tur explain that Allah swears by Mount Tur, the Book of Records, the Baitul Makmur (the place of circumambulation of the angels in heaven), the heaven and the flaming sea, showing that His punishment will certainly befall those who disbelieve in Him and no one will escape from it. Those who disobey Allah and are immersed in worldly life will be miserable on the Day of Judgment. They will be cast into Hell, which they did not believe in while on earth.

Verses 15-16 continue the previous verse regarding Hell which becomes the place for those who disbelieve in Allah and do not believe in the Hereafter. It is said to them: Is this Hell sorcery? Or can you not see it? Enter into it. Whether you are patient or impatient, it is the same. You will receive recompense according to what you did in the world.

Verses 17-28 explain that the God-conscious will enter Paradise and delight in Allah's blessings. They are saved from the punishment of Hell. They eat and drink as much as they please as a reward for the righteous deeds they did in the world. Sitting reclining on couches arranged neatly and married to beautiful maidens. Their believing descendants join them. Everyone receives a reward according to the righteous deeds they did. They are given fruits and meat that they like. While drinking from glasses filled with very delicious drink that does not intoxicate. Surrounded by young servants like glittering pearls. They ask each other what caused them to attain all these blessings. The key is success in forming a family that is obedient, fearful and hopes only in Allah.

Verses 29-31 explain that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) should continue giving warning. Allah explains that Muhammad is neither a soothsayer nor mad. Let the disbelievers accuse him of being a poet awaiting misfortune. Later they will know who will be miserable in this world and the Hereafter.
