Does the Quran talks about the Terrorists?

[AhmedBahgat]

Peace to everyone,


Last Ramadan with the help of Allah 'swt' I discovered an amazing fact in the Quran, I dicovered that it talks about the terrorists and their attrocities in its second page, I see this as a miracle, please be patient with me and give me a chance to explain


We all know that the Quran is divided into 114 Suras “Chapters”


The first Sura is called “<b>Al-Fataha</b>”, like “<b>Introduction</b>” and is only 7 verses, the second Sura starting at page 2 is called “<b>Al-Baqara</b>”, which means “<b>The Cow</b>”, this is actually the longest Sura in the Quran and consists of 286 verses, this Sura has plenty of information regarding many things like humankind history on earth, explaining who is our One and only God “<b>Allah</b>”, and sure the story of Adam and Eve and many more, what is striking in this Sura is verses 2 to 20, in these verses Allah is telling us about 3 groups of people similar to a passage in the Bible, however the Quran was clear as light in the descriptions of these groups of people, in fact the Quran is always clear as light inabout 95% of its contents, it was designed this way as stated in it numerous times, so let’s start by looking what the Quran said about these 3 groups of people, all the verses mentioned are [<b>The Quran ; 2:2-20</b>]


<b>The first Group – verses 2:2-5 – The Believers</b>



<b>(2) “This is the Book (The Quran); in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah;”
</b>


(3) “Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them;”


(4) “And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter.”


(5) “They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper.”


ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ (2)


الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ (3)


والَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَبِالآخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ (4)


أُوْلَئِكَ عَلَى هُدًى مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ (5)


<b>The believers descriptions is very clear, extracted from the above verses as follow:</b>


Verse 2: <b>“This is the Book (The Quran); in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah;”,</b> i.e the Quran is their guidance and they fear Allah.


Verse 3: <b>“Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them;”</b>, i.e they believe in the UNSEEN, they are steadfast in prayer and they give money to the poor and needy.


Verse 4: <b>“And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter.”</b>, i.e they believe in the Quran, they believe in all previous inspirations, and they have the assurance of the hereafter.


Verse 5:<b> “They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper.”</b>, i.e they follow the and unchanged guidance and they are the ones that will prosper.


<b>The second Group – verses 6-7 – The Unbelievers</b>



<b>(6) “As to those who reject Faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.”
</b>


(7) “Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur).”


إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ (6)


خَتَمَ اللّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهمْ وَعَلَى سَمْعِهِمْ وَعَلَى أَبْصَارِهِمْ غِشَاوَةٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عظِيمٌ (7)


-> The unbelievers descriptions are very clear as well, extracted from the above verses as follow:


Verse 6: <b>“As to those who reject Faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.”</b>. i.e. They reject faith (<b>rejected the Quran</b>), they will never believe wether they are warned or not.


Verse 7:<b>“Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur).”</b>, i.e. they have seals on their hearts and hearings set upon by Allah as a result of their arrogance, they have also veils over they eyes, and they will incur a great punishment for their arrogance, this seal and veil set by Allah are actually explain why these unbelievers will not believe wether they are warned or not as stated in verse 6, it is like they have been cursed by Allah due to their arrogance and their biased hearts and minds.


<b>The third Group – verses 2:8-20 – The Terrorists</b>



I will walk you through it verse by verse here man while extracting the terrorists decriptions, to make it as clear as possible:


<b>(8) “Of the people there are some who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day;" but they do not (really) believe.”
</b>


وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللّهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَ (8)


-> i.e. They say they believe in Allah and the Last Day, BUT they do not really believe.


<b>(9) “Fain would they deceive Allah and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves, and realise (it) not!”
</b>


يُخَادِعُونَ اللّهَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلاَّ أَنفُسَهُم وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ (9)


-> i.e. They deceive Allah and they deceive the believers (the first group), but they actually deceive themselves and they <b>DO NOT REALISE THEIR SELF DECEPTION</b>, this is clear as light that those thugs deceive Allah, now please tell me, what more deception to Allah than beheading an innocent man while cheering with Allah’s name?, as well, can you see that those thugs deceive the believers as well as stated. This can happen in two ways as we we see it now, deception to all believers by misleading the whole world and showing the innocent religion as a barbaric one, as well trying to recruit the young believers and convince them by deception to commit atrocities by strapping bombs around them and blow away any innocent human in the vicinity, well, the Quran told us in this verse that the terrorists only deceive themselves and they do not realise it.


<b>(10) “In their hearts is a disease; and Allah has increased their disease: And grievous is the penalty they (incur), because they are false (to themselves).”
</b>


فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللّهُ مَرَضاً وَلَهُم عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ (10)


-> i.e. Their hearts is full of diseases, this is a perfect and accurate description about the terrorists, what sort of ill heart a person have to behead or order to behead an innocent man?, well a very sick heart for sure, this heart sickness is increased by Allah because of their submission to Satan, it is like Allah will make them commit more crimes so <b>THE GRIEVOUS IS THE PENALTY THEY INCUR</b> because they are <b>FALSE TO THEMSELVES</b>, what an accuracy in describing those thugs, still more to follow.


<b>(11) “When it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "Why, we are the ones who make things right!"
</b>


وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لاَ تُفْسِدُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ قَالُواْ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ (11)


-> i.e. When we call those thugs to stop their atrocities and the mischief on earth they commit, they respond by saying that they are the ones who are doing things right, another perfect description about the terrorists.


<b>(12) “Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realise (it) not.”
</b>


أَلا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَكِن لاَّ يَشْعُرُونَ (12)


-> i.e. Allah is telling us not to believe those thugs (who claimed they are the ones who are doings things right) by confirming to us that they are indeed “<b>surety</b>” the ones who are making mischief on earth and still do not realise it, perfect description again.


<b>(13) “When it is said to them: "Believe as the others believe:" They say: "Shall we believe as the fools believe?" Nay, of a surety they are the fools, but they do not know.”
</b>


وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُواْ كَمَا آمَنَ النَّاسُ قَالُواْ أَنُؤْمِنُ كَمَا آمَنَ السُّفَهَاء أَلا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ السُّفَهَاء وَلَكِن لاَّ يَعْلَمُونَ (13)


-> i.e. Those thugs were called to believe as the normal believers believe (<b>the first group</b>) but they respond by saying that the normal believers are fool, and Allah is telling us that indeed “<b>surety</b>” they are the real fools and they still do not know it.


<b>(14) “When they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe;" but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say: "We are really with you: We (were) only jesting."
</b>


وَإِذَا لَقُواْ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ قَالُواْ آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوْاْ إِلَى شَيَاطِينِهِمْ قَالُواْ إِنَّا مَعَكْمْ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِؤُونَ (14)


-> i.e. Some of those thugs pray with us in the mosques showing that they are believers “those are the unknown recruited ones”, but when they meet the leaders in hiding “their evil ones” they say they were only jesting them (the believers), I see the evil ones as the known terrorists leaders like Laden and Zarqawi, the evil ones can also be the "Kareen" that Allah has assigned for each one of them.


<b>(15) “Allah will throw back their mockery on them, and give them rope in their trespasses; so they will wander like blind ones (To and fro).”
</b>


اللّهُ يَسْتَهْزِىءُ بِهِمْ وَيَمُدُّهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ (15)


-> i.e. Allah is very angry with those thugs and consequently this what must happen: Allah will throw back their mockery on them, He will give them rope in their trespasses and they will wander like blinds.


<b>(16) “These are they who have bartered Guidance for error: But their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction,”
</b>


أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرُوُاْ الضَّلاَلَةَ بِالْهُدَى فَمَا رَبِحَت تِّجَارَتُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهْتَدِينَ (16)





-> i.e. Those terrorists who took error in place of guidance, and their traffic is profitless (think about the ransoms they asked for the kidnapping or possibly their drug dealing in Afganistan” and they indeed lost the true direction.


<b>(17) “Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see.”
</b>


مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي اسْتَوْقَدَ نَاراً فَلَمَّا أَضَاءتْ مَا حَوْلَهُ ذَهَبَ اللّهُ بِنُورِهِمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ لاَّ يُبْصِرُونَ (17)


-> i.e. Allah is giving us a similitude of those thugs of someone who lit a light, then the light lighted all around him and suddenly Allah will take their light away and leave them in darkness, well I see this verse as saying that those thugs will succeed in some of their sick atrocities ”<b>it lighted all around him</b>” but the bottom line is their final destination is indeed going to be darkness.


<b>(18) “Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path).”
</b>


صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لاَ يَرْجِعُونَ (18)


-> i.e. They are Deaf, Dumb and Blind, indeed the verse is telling us that they will not return to the right path, another perfect descriptions.


<b>(19) “Or (another similitude) is that of a rain-laden cloud from the sky: In it are zones of darkness, and thunder and lightning: They press their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder-clap, the while they are in terror of death. But Allah is ever round the rejecters of Faith!”
</b>


أَوْ كَصَيِّبٍ مِّنَ السَّمَاء فِيهِ ظُلُمَاتٌ وَرَعْدٌ وَبَرْقٌ يَجْعَلُونَ أَصْابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِم مِّنَ الصَّوَاعِقِ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِ واللّهُ مُحِيطٌ بِالْكافِرِينَ (19)


-> This verse really stroke me hard when I read the Eglish translation by Yusuf Ali. It is giving another similitude about the terrorists, the similitude is like them walking in darkness while there is thunder rain and lighting, and those thugs are too scared from this hostile environment and they keep pressing their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder clap while they are in terror of death, mates, this is like them being bombarded by the allies B52s, what do you think?


<b>BUT WHAT STRIKE ME MORE IS THE WORD </b>“<b>LADEN</b>” in the sentence “<b>is that of a rain-laden cloud from the sky</b>” as translated by Yusuf Ali, sure I know that the verse is not talking about Bin Laden, but what an amazing coincidence that is for the English readers, I actually laughed when I noticed, I love the Quran, how accurate it is under any circumstances.


<b>(20) “The lightning all but snatches away their sight; every time the light (Helps) them, they walk therein, and when the darkness grows on them, they stand still. And if Allah willed, He could take away their faculty of hearing and seeing; for Allah hath power over all things.”
</b>


يَكَادُ الْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ كُلَّمَا أَضَاء لَهُم مَّشَوْاْ فِيهِ وَإِذَا أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُواْ وَلَوْ شَاء اللّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَارِهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّه عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (20)


-> This is the rest of the similitude started in verse 19, it shows how this hostile environment will destroy the terrorists.


Ok brothers and sisters, this is very accurate stuff and very explicit to the terrorists and in the Quran first page, when I discussed this with all the muslims I know, most agreed and some tried to tell me that it talks about the the hypocrites "Al Monafiqoon", the problem here will be that the Quran is never shy to call the Hypocrites "Hypocrites", in fact there is a whole sura called "The Hypocrites", this is sure consist of 11 verses, in 8 of those verses the Quran talks about the Hypocrites and call them Hypocrites 4 times, while in the 13 verses 2:8:20, it never used the word Hupocrite to describe them, as well you do not call a hypocrite to believe as the others believe because a hypocrite is already showing that he is a believer.


This is yet another example of the miracle of the Quran, it describes life as we see at any generation.


Please let me know your thoughts about the above


Thanks for reading
