Tafseer of Surah Mutafiffin Part 02 (v22-36)

By Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan

We left off at Ayat number 22, .this is a repetition of an aya that came exactly in the same way as in
Surah Infitar. Its the same exact aya. There was another counter aya in the previous Surah, so there
was..about the righteous being in bliss, and there was the one about the vicious criminals being in the
worst pits of hellfire, (in Jahim). In the beginning of this Surah we found .the book of, the record of the
criminals is in sijjin. Allah did not make mention of the fujjar themselves and where they are in this
surah but he repeated the mention of the people of Paradise in this surah and He gave it a lot of detail in
this surah. Theres two rhetorical reasons for that. The first is, we didnt learn much about the bliss of
the people of Paradise in the previous surah so its due that we learn more about that in this surah. So
theres more detail given to us here. The second is, we talked about the criminals being talked about in
Al- Infitar. A worst degree of them being talked about here, al fujjar, right? We talked about them at the
end of that surah but here really from al-mutaffifin and on, these are the worst kinds of criminals. So
there, I mean if Allah just mentions that their records are down in that prison, it doesnt have to be
even further elaborated where theyre going to end up. Right? Because thats already been declared. So
Allah doesnt give them any more attention or any more elaborate discourse.

Now we find in this surah, when Allah (azwjl) speaks about these people, and theyre surrounded in all
kinds of comfort and softness. Allah mentions a few things that highlight the bliss of Paradise. And thats
something you should note about this surah. Allah talks about one or two particular things, and that
should remind you of the larger picture. This is not the only thing in Paradise that Allah (swt) is going to
talk about. Its a larger scene but you should get a glimpse of it. Similarly the things that the criminal
does, they do a lot of things wrong. But one of them that was highlighted was their Taffif their
Mutaffifin. One thing was highlighted but it gives you a larger picture of who these criminals are and
what their mindset is. So here again we look at these few glimpses and scenes that are beautifully
depicted in the Paradise, may Allah enter us to them.They are going to be on these cushions. Arika is
the singular of araik and its a chair or throne or a large couch thats full of cushions. You can recline on
it and relax.(v23) Theyll be looking around. The thing to notice is some of the ulema talked about
this in the imagery of this aya also is when you recline or you sit down and relax, then you cant look
around so much because your view is limited. Right? If youre on a train for example and you recline,
then you cant look out the window, what do you have to do? Get up, you get out of your comfort zone
then you look around. You cant sit back and look around. Even in a car, your kids are sitting back, they
dont see it. You say, Hey, did you see that cow? What do they do? They look up and they go to the
window. They come out of comfortable positions to see. Look at how Allah puts it. They will be reclined,
looking around. Meaning, Allah has designed the chair in a way that you sit back and get the best view.
Right? Youre in the most comfortable position, subhanAllah,yanthurun.. just looking around.
Wherever they look, they see bliss. They get a full view on these araik. This is very difficult for us to do in

our car! Takes us 25 minutes just to adjust the chair exactly the way we should and the rearview mirror
and all that stuff, right? SubhanAllah. And you know the other thing is, when youre looking somewhere,
your view is kind of focused to one thing. But where are they looking? Lafi Na-im. The Na-im is where?
Theyre in it and its all around them. So they can see all around from this wonderful seating that Allah
has provided them.

(v24).You will recognize in their faces nadra. Nadra is a beautiful word in the Arabic language. There
are a few words for glow and glitter and joy that are used to express the beauty of something. Or
freshness even. We find Zahra, bahja, nadra. Nadra is the lighting up of ones face and you can see the
freshness in it the happiness and joy in it. You know, its also used, nadra is used in Arabic literature for
even vegetables or fruit thats really fresh and ripe. But in the Quran essentially it comes for faces. So
faces, theyre lit, theyre fresh. Theyre just really happy to be there. Did you ever see a tourist whos
really happy to be in DC, I havent see one yet. But if you see one, thats what they would look like. We
see a lot of those in New York. You know people, get to the city and theres nadra in their face. You
know where Ive seen nadra? Ive seen, sometimes when I fly to LA right, the plane, Southwest flight
stops in Vegas, right? And, the people that are getting off at Vegas, before they get off, guess whats on
their face? Nadra. And theyre happy, theyre staring out the window. Theyre just about to land in
Jannah, right? And then the flight goes on from Vegas to LA, right? So now the people on the plane are
the people that are leaving Vegas. And this looks like you know the line thats headed to the hellfire.
Their faces are down, they dont want to make eye contact. They look suicidal, probably they lost all
their life savings behind, right? So theyre a different scene from here to there then there to there.
SubhanAllah. But does that give you some idea of nadra? You see these people sitting on couches and
theyre just fresh, theyre just their lit, their faces are lit.the.is in naim...These blissful things that
they see, thats what lights their face up. I mean you see something and wow and you see this other
thing. And their faces get brighter and brighter at the things you see, SubhanAllah.
(v25) Yaskowna. And now you the service, room service. .Yuskowna. They will be given to drink. They
dont even have to get up to get the drink. They dont have to get up because, you know, if they said
yuskoona, then theyre going to drink. But yuskowna, they will be given to drink. So they, Allah has
already set the scene with them chilling on the couch. So they dont have to get up. Yuskowna. And
what are they given to drink? Lets understand what Lahi means. In the Sihah, we finda few things.
The purest possible wine or drink that is not contaminated by age or bubbles. Its crystal clear, you can
see right through it. And its got great texture and color. And it doesnt make you drunk. It doesnt get
you, however much you like and it doesnt get you drunk. Others comment on it that also has in it a
beautiful scent. But then we find makhtoum. And you know, I dont know how popular this the drink
that were makhtoum must have been a very exotic, I think at the time. Nowadays, makhtoum literally
means sealed off. Closed off, tight. And its got a brand on it so once you open it, you know how some
drinks have that seal? That you, if its not there you shouldnt buy it, kind of thing? So theyve got that
seal, its an original seal, meant for you to open it. It wasnt opened by anyone else before it. Its filled to
the brim. And Makhtoum also means something that is filled to the brim and then sealed. Like the
Messenger (SAW), his Khatim an Nabiin, right?. Because his saleh is filled. Its not like theres room left,

its filled and then hes the seal. All the way to the top. So, the arRahiqi Makhtoum is, its these beautiful
wine bottles that you know, as ugly as we think wine is today, as believers, theres a different kind of
wine that doesnt get us drunk. That Allah is offering us and its being given to us.
But then Allah tells us something more about this seal. And this is just remarkable, the depiction of
Jannah in these ayat. Its just so remarkable, SubhanAllah. You have to understand the scene. We began
with the people who are the worst kind of criminals. And whos talking about them? These ayat are, you
know, theres a disagreement about them being Makki or Madani. And some have a narration about
there were, that some of the Ansar used to cheat in business and thats why these ayats came. But that
narration in and of itself is not that strong and the language does not support it, number two. In that the
language is talking about the worst kind of fujjar. And these are not the Ansar. They were not even close
to that, right? And also, we learn that the Ansar and the people of Medina generally werent business
people first. They were agriculture first. Who was in business more? Who was doing the cheating in
business and this kind of, who would be an expert at that? The Mekkans. Right? So this is why the
majority really does(nt) hold the position that this surah is Makki. But just go back to the Makkan
seerah for a moment. You know these, the Muslims, theyre not in a position of power. Theyre not
powerful. Theyre very weak. Theyre the object of ridicule. Theyre the crazy people. And here they are
talking about the multi million dollar corporations. The Mutafiffin. Theyre pointing a finger at them and
saying, you know, you do this and you know where its going to land you? Into hell, right?.right, we just
recite these ayat but remember, these ayat were memorized by the Companions (raa). And they were
delivered to the people. They were just reciting it on to the people. The people who were doing this
business that are well off . When they hear that , you know whats the first thing that comes to their
minds? Who are you to tell me? Youre the scum of..youre Bilal, youre a foreigner, youre an
immigrant. Youre going to tell me about whats right and wrong? Mind your business. Get lost. So they
were the, basically considered the annoying, you know, people you dont want to talk to. You know like
nowadays a homeless guy comes to you and talks to you say, I gotta go. You avoid them. This is the
attitude the kuffar had towards who? The Believers. This is how they treated them. So now in that
sense, you can imagine the Sahabi when hes making dawah to this deen. Hes constantly being insulted.
Not only is he being insulted, what he says is being insulted. Remember .alim? So, theyre being
insulted, their messenger is being insulted. Hes called the majnoon, hes called insane. And then
theyre being ridiculed. These low class, these filth, these insane people, right? And then on top of all
of this Allah (awj) gives them just some words, just words. And thats enough for them to keep them
going in the work of dawah. Allah gives them you know what? These people they have, what drinks do
they have? Let me show you what Ill give you. First of all, your record is in the illieen. And nobody can
even fathom what illiyu are. This amazing record of every last good deed you have done. Imagine
whats going on with the Sahabi then. How strong is he going to be in his dawah.
And then Allah says then youre going to be up there and youre going to have these drinks. And theyre
going to be sealed just for you. And then this seal, you know the words in the Arabic language especially
Quranic Arabic, ancient Arabic, theyre very picturesque. So Allah is making you visualize the bottle. And
the bottle has what on it? A seal. Its got a Seal on it. And youre sitting on your couch and youve been
given this bottle. And you know where they used to drink? Where did the Arabs used to drink? Out of a

well. Right? This was, you dont get served. This is the elite, a kings thing to get served. The average
Arab has to go out and dig out of the well, or drink out of the pond or the lake or whatever. Now hes,
even the seal has a in-scent. The seal has this perfume-like smell. Not even the drink. The drink hasnt
been opened yet, its the sealkhitamuhu misk.
(v26) Then in that those who compete. They should compete in this. This is something worth competing.
Allah draws an image of me just being there in that luxury and putting that before me. Then after that is
done, no matter what the kuffar say does it matter anymore? No. Because the believer, what does he
see now? He sees that Jannah. He sees.run towards the Paradise. Rush towards the Paradise. Race
towards the Paradise. Lets look at the word Talafus. By the way, a similar aya occurs in suratul Saffat.
Where He says (swt) .for the likes of this let the people who do work. Let them put in the work. Let
them get to work. Allah (azj) says here Talafus. At-Tabari comments.beautiful. He says, this work .
Talafus tells us that theyre running towards something so elegant, so classy, so exotic and this is
something that all the people want it. They really really want it. You know, and theyre all competing
towards it in the spirit of healthy competition. So here the Sahaba are being ridiculed and even
persecuted and tortured and theyre nudging each other saying whos going to get to the rahiqi
makhtoum first? Lets see who gets there first. Theyre competing with each other in this. The problems
of the world, Allah has taken them away, from the Believer. Hes put them in a different state. And you
know when the kuffar see the different mind state, what do they call you? They call you crazy. What are
you happy about, man, were torturing you? Whats the smile on your face for? He doesnt see it. He
doesnt understand why this person is being ridiculed and insulted and humiliated and every all of his
dignities have been stripped from him and yet theres a big smile on his face. Not only that, these guys
are competing with each other in getting in more trouble. They dont, they cant fathom it. But this is
the mindset, the imaan. That The Sahaba tasted when they heard the word of Allah. May Allah give us
that taste of Quran.

So now after this Allah (Azwjl) says He takes the imagination further. By the way, this this khitamuhu,
this seal is made of musk, this beautiful scent. You should compete towards this.This passage began with
al-abrar, the righteous. The righteous. The few righteous will get to this point. But then theres even a
higher level, Allah takes the imagination even further. SuhanAllah. (v.27) Mizaj, in Arabic mazaja sharab
was used when you mix the drink. Ok like nowadays you have like Ovaltine or Quik or something, you
mix it in milk. Right? Or some kind of mix you put in your drink to give it a new flavor. So when the Arabs
would mix something in your drink that was called mizaj or mazj also, mizj, also. Now, Tasnim in the
language comes from sanam. Sanam is the hump of a camel. Tasnim means a very high place, also
means to elevate something. Like they will say tasnim-ul-kubr, to raise the graves, to elevate the
gravesite. To make it higher above ground, okay? So Allah says the mixtureof it, meaning the drink is
something, but you know, you add some sugar to it or you add some flavor to it, that flavor has been
added from a very high fountain. Or a very high waterfall, up there somewhere. Because, and its called
Tasnim. So the drink itself is not called tasnim but its got a little bit of mix from tasnim. Now when you
taste that tasnim, what do you want? Youll say, wheres that, whats that mix? I want to go where this
came from. But where did it come from? It came from very high. So now the abrar are enjoying this

drink and they talk to each other and they say, did you taste that flavor, that new thing in there? Yeah,
yeah, thats tasnim. Dude, where do you get tasnim? And so now lets look at the next aya.
(v. 28) Ainah. Tasnim is a waterfall, its a spring The people the closest to Allah will be sitting next to
this waterfall. Not yashrabu minha but Biha here gives usmakan. Will be sitting right by it, right by
this waterfall where it starts and theyre drinking from it directly. The abrar, the righteous are drinking a
mix from the tasnim and theyre loving that too. But those who are close to Allah, al muqarrabun, what
are they enjoying? Tasnim itself. SubhanAllah. Look, these are the degrees of Paradise. So the Ulema
comment .this is a very high drink and the origin of Tasnim is something very high. Something, in
addition, you should know. And this is commented on by Ashowkani (rahim..Allah). Tasnimun..this is
the name of a waterfall or a spring in Paradise, from which the closest to Allah will drink. May Allah
make us from that. ..This illustrates that the rank, you know, because the people, the righteous, who
are still living it up. Because theyve got the couch, theyve got the people serving them drink, theyve
got the bottle, theyve got the seal. But this illustrates that, the language illustrates that those who are
closest to Allah, they will be in a higher position than even the righteous. It establishes the gradation
here, SubhanAllah.
So on the one hand Allah spoke of the worst of the worst of the worst criminal. And on the contrast, he
spoke of the people who earned the closest rank with Allah. That Allah spoke about another place. He
says as-saabikun.The first of the first. Those are the closest ones. What is it mean first of the first?
The first first first ones, he would say. These are the people you know, when the Messenger makes the
claim that an angel comes and delivers me this message. That this is not words Im making up on my
own. Who believes in me? Its easy to call him crazy. Imagine your neighbor came to you and said hey
man, an angel came to me and talked to me. You need to believe in everything I say because its from
God. Its as crazy, it sounds as crazy today as it sounded 1400 years ago. At that time the first person to
say you know what, thats not crazy, I believe in you, in public and whatever you say I will do. I will not
question because I know its not coming from you, its coming from a higher source. I will not question
it, I dont care what people call me, I dont care who disowns me, I dont care what they do to me. I am
standing by you. How hard is that to do? Its easy for us to be Believers, cause theres so many of us.
Theres so many of us. How easy is it when youre the only one? When, and you have to believe in this
guy who everybody calls crazy. Everybody calls him insane. And whatever he says, they ridicule. They
mock. Youre going to be right in that position the moment you say La ilaha illallah Muhammadan
rasoolullah. (sws) This position the sahabah put themselves in, is such a painful position. And so Allah
compensates them, by saying no, youll enjoy tasnim. You have the highest rank. The righteous will get
something, but you, youre up here, al muqarrabun. May Allah make us from al Muqarrabeen(?).
Now at the end, you see how Allah puts things. Allah (azjl) mentions now at the end, something about al
fujjar again, these criminals again, right? These worst kinds of disobedient or rebellious to Allah. But at
this point when you hear these ayat, put yourself in the perspective of the Believer and its not even
going to touch you. So what? Look inno doubt, those who engaged in crime, and this Ijram in Arabic
is not just to have crime but to actually eventually see the consequences of your crime too. It actually
illustrates one who sees the consequences of their crime. So those who engage in this crime and implied
who will see the consequences of them, have been making fun kanoo, (v29) they have been making

fun, or they had been poking fun. Or they had been laughing they had been laughing at the Believers.
They heard these words of the Believers, they saw the joy on the Believers face and said look at these
morons! Look at these nutjobs, they believe in this stuff. Let me write a skit in my comedy about them.
How much comedy has been written about Muslims in Paradise in the last six, seven years, right? Its
funny to them, its funny. Because, you know, were the object of ridicule. These guys believe in
Paradise, and thats why they do these crazy things and theyre all you know, and so even, you know,
when you talk to Christians nowadays , they train themselves in dawah, right, to the Muslims. And one
of the things they train themselves in is poking fun at Jannah. Thats one of the like dawah things that
they do. Aw yeah, you guys believe in this or that or the other in Paradise. You get these rivers and all
that. Like, yeah we do, and you dont. So you wanna join me? Right? So we have to have this this
confidence. And this is not just fantasy that Allah is drawing for us. This is real. This is real.
But right now, the way things are right now, it is real to us but for everybody else this is a thing to make
fun of. So, the thing I want to illustrate to you here is thats really powerful is the word Kanoo. You see,
the Quran is full of iltifat. Iltifat means transition. Transition happens from first person to second person
to third person. It also happens from the past to the future. Some Ayat are talking about the future.
What s going to happen on the Day of Judgment. All of a sudden Allah talks about something thats
happening right now. Themutaffifin.was that happening in the future or right now? It was happening
right now. But then as we went forwardyaskowlawas that happening then or right now? Thats later
on in the future. So the aya travel from the future to the present. Future to the present. Sometimes past
to present. But these ayat are speaking about current events in the past. Kanoo. I need you to
understand this. Allah is not saying disbelievers make fun of believers. He is saying disbelievers used to,
theres no doubt those who engaged in crime, used to poke fun at, used to laugh away, at those who
believed. So how is He talking about it? As though its something in the past. The way this is situated,
what was mentioned right before the people of Jannah? So the way its situated, in its it illustrates the
people are in Jannah. Theyre enjoying all this drink and the memory passes in their mind. Remember
when they used to make fun of us? Remember those who were criminals used to make fun of those who
believed. They used to laugh at us.and when they would pass by them they would wink (v30) at each
other. They would, you know, ghamz in Arabic is to make gestures with your eyes. And one of the worst
insults you can do to somebody even nowadays is to roll your eyes at them, right? You know, theyre
talking to you and youre like, you know you could do a lot with your eyes, you could do a lot with your
eyes. So a bunch of you are walking by, right? And theres a Muslim over there and what do you do?
You know youre doing all this just with your eyes, just with your eyes. Youre poking insults at them. So
Allah even captures that much of their crime. The worst of their crimes He captured. He illustrated. But
even the crimes of the kafir against the believer not that he kills them, .why are they taking revenge
from the believers, why are they throwing them in pits made of fire? Why are they torturing them? Why
are they killing them? Those are big crimes. Here, what crime has Allah illustrated? Just the way they
look at them. Just the way they look at them. .When they pass by them, meaning when the believers
pass by the disbelievers, the believers wink, they make eye gestures to insult them. And the other way
around. When the disbelievers pass by the believers they make comments with their eyes. The way they
look at them. The insulting way, in the ridiculing way in which they look at them.

Then .(v31), now that theyre done poking fun at the believers, they return to their families. And we
will find this a consistent theme, Allah talks about, returning to the family. These kuffar, they return to
their families. For example, in Suratul Qiyama, .right?he returns to his family all happy, you know, how
I insulted those Muslims today? Man, these guys are funny, these guys they look so funny. We, and we
were just standing there, and man, did we make a fool of them! And so they have this, they enjoy,
making fun. So what they do is when they return to their family, they return full of joy. Fakihin comes
from fakiha which is a fruit. So they they enjoyed poking fun at the believers so much its like they can
taste the fruit in their mouth. Oh My God that was awesome. That was so funny. And so the scholars
comment fakihin theyre so happy they can taste the joy of insulting the believers. And they go share
these stories about how they made fun of Muslims with their families. You know this is a contrast. By
the way this is happening in dunya, right? But this is a memory of those who are in Paradise looking
back? But the reality, what happened in reality we already readSubhanAllah. That same guy who
went to his home running happy, hey look who I made fun of? Is he going to be running towards that
family or running away from them when the time comes? Hes running away from those same people.
The reality has completely reversed. But right now, its the way it is. So these believers they think back
and you know they recall when they used to poke fun .and even when they would see them, this
implies a kind of a distance. So these non-Muslims, those who poke fun are here, the Muslims are over
there.
(v32) When they saw them they said, these people man, theyre so confused, theyre so lost. These are
the truly lost. You know what they want, they want this Paradise. Thats why theyre acting like this.
They can do their, day and night theyre trying to spread this message. They stick around this man, who
we think, were pretty sure hes insane Theyre lost. Look at these poor people. So they look at them
with pity. They have pity for the Muslims. I feel sorry for you man. Thats what they, their attitude
towards the Muslims.youll find people like this even today. Even today youll find people that look at
the Muslims and say aw, I just feel so bad for you man. Let me help you out. Let me give you some,
some other religion to follow. Theres pity for the Muslims. What foolish religion are you following?
Now Allah says (v33) .its so incredible that Allah says this. Hes, this aya has been interpreted in two
very different ways. And both of them are very powerful. Allahu alem, Allah means both. The literal
meaning is and they had not been sent upon them as guardians. Meaning these disbelievers were not
sent to watch over the believers. What are you so worried about that theyre lost or not lost. Or you
know, you know what they, how they live or what they aspire to. Whats it any of your business youre
so concerned that theyre lost? So this is one interpretation. This has been attributed by many. But
another is that actually that this is a continuation of what the fujjar say. And that or the mujrimun say.
And that completely changes the taste of these words. Let me explain to you how. These, what this
basically means is theyre looking at the Muslims and they say look at how theyre lost. And they say,
these Muslims, they havent been sent to the society to guard over them. Why are they commenting on
who cheats how much on the scales? Why are they telling us dont bury the baby daughter? Why are
they getting up in our business? Who made them in charge? Who made them guard over our affairs?
Why are they acting like theyre so watchful over our affairs? So they, they have this criticism of the
Muslims that they are correcting the evils of society. Getting into the societys business. But you know in

the previous surah, Allah has already told us the Muslims are not watchful over you. You already have
someone watchful over you. Innahafitheen. Their criticism is these Muslims are the hafitheen. No no
no, were not the hafitheen. You already have hafitheenqiraman.You know you have noble writers,
they know exactly what youre doing. We dont have to keep record or watch over what youre doing.
Allah has already put that mechanism in place, SubhanAllah.
(v34) Then on that Day. Now the scene goes back to the future. Again to the Day of Judgment. Then on
that Day, as a result, those who believe will be poking fun and be laughing at the kuffar. Now, we had
notwe didnt find the kuffar before. We found those who committed the crimes. And the crimes had
been listed before. The crimes have been listed. Remember they poked fun at the ayat called
awwaleen. They did a few things that were listed. So they were the criminals. On the Day of
Judgment the believers will not only be laughing at these criminals, they will be laughing at what? All
kuffar. Whether they did this or not. So long as they disbelieved, they will be the object of ridicule. In
Suratul Baqarah we find ..wordly life was beautified for those who disbelieve. And they poke fun at
those who believe.and those who have taqwa, they will be above them on the Day of Resurrection.
These their roles have been reversed. The same reversal of roles applies here. All kuffar, they will be
poking fun at them.yanthurun (v35)..second time. They will be on these high couches reclining,
relaxing, looking around. Having full view. Now what are they, before what were they looking at? Naim.
All the blessings. What are they looking at now? Theyre looking at the people that are making them
laugh. Whos making them laugh? The kuffar. Theyre looking at the disbelievers. They dont even have
to look down. They can relax, recline back and they can still see the disbelievers. And now those
disbelievers are burning. And theyre recalling, didnt you find our whole thing about hellfire funny
before? I dont see you laughing down there. Cause, it sounds it looks pretty funny now actually, now
that you think of it. So now the disbelievers are getting their revenge. The insults that were hurled at
them, are being hurled back at the disbelievers. Look at how the surah ends.
(v36) Thawab in Arabic is to get a good salary. To do good work and to get good back.Have those
who disbelieved been paid a good salary for everything they used to do? Sarcasm from Allah (swt).
Perhaps even sarcasm from those who are in the Paradise, theyre looking at those burning down below
who are screaming Hey were Quraish, were from you. Can you help us out here? Throw us a drink or
something. And they act like they dont even hear them. They say to each other I wonder if the
disbelievers got paid what they deserve. Based on what they did. Adding insult to injury.
SubhanAllahHave the disbelievers been dealt, have they been given in full great pay, great
compensation? Sarcasm, over what they used to do.
Final, a little bit of comment over yafaloon as opposed to yamaloon. Yamaloon means to do an act
consciously. To think about it and do it. Yafaloon, you dont even think about it. Why yafaloon, because
these fujjar, do they think anymore about the consequences of their actions? No. The fujjar , they dont
think. So they dont do amal even, what do they do? They do (fearless), thoughtless action. Their
thoughtless in their disbelief.
Finally, we conclude in tying the end of the surah with its beginning. We also conclude with a comment
of Ibn Jawzi (Rahimallah)..Have they been given, these people, have they been given what they

deserve when they made fun of the believers? When they made fun of the ayat? Have they been given
what they deserve? Absolutely. Nam. So he ends with that word. We began in the, we started in the
beginning with the aya.mutafiffin, ultimate destruction falls upon those who make a little bit of profit
by giving people less or taking back a little more. This is the mutafiffin. And at the end, what does Allah
say? What do they want? Money in the end. They wanted some profit. Allah says they get a good
compensation because of what they used to do at the end. You see how theyre tied together, the
conclusion? The beginning of the surah and its conclusion, subhanAllah. So how the surah begins, it
wraps itself around and comes to its conclusion. InshaAllahu taala we begin our study of Suratul
Inshiqaq next week
