Let the Heavens Weep for Your Departure...

Asalamu aliakuam wa rhamat Allah wa barkatoo and HellOoo!

In the Qur'an, we have a verse that reads:

"And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, nor were they given respite"..(Surat Al Dhukan, 29)

Not many people have read it's tafsir, so I thought I would share :D

And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, ) means, they had no righteous deeds which used to ascend through the gates of the heavens, which would weep for them when they died, and they had no places on earth where they used to worship Allah which would notice their loss. So they did not deserve to be given a respite, because of their disbelief, sin, transgression and stubbornness. Ibn Jarir recorded that Sa`id bin Jubayr said, "A man came to Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, and said to him: `O Abu Al-`Abbas, Allah says,

And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, nor were they given respite) -- do the heavens and the earth weep for anybody? He, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

`Yes, there is no one who does not have a gate in the heavens through which his provision comes down and his good deeds ascend. When the believer dies, that gate is closed; it misses him and weeps for him, and the place of prayer on earth where he used to pray and remember Allah also weeps for him.

 But the people of Fir`awn (Pharaoh) left no trace of righteousness on the earth and they had no good deeds that ascended to Allah, so the heavens and the earth did not weep for them.'''

What about you? I know you can do it! Let the heavens weep for your departure :)

And He Says ...

O,man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most

Beneficent?- (sura 82, aya 6)

  

And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height. 

 (Sura 17, aya 37)

If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them (sura 9, aya 42)

Do they not look at Allah's (God's) creation, (even) among (inanimate) things,- How their (very) shadows turn round, from the right and the left, prostrating themselves to Allah, and that in the humblest manner? 

(surat Al Nahil, aya 48)

Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except ((Allah)) Most Gracious (Ar-rahman): Truly((Allah)) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things. 

 (surat Al Mulk, aya 19)

Allah (God) is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things. (Surah 24: 35)

When My servants Ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed 

 Close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant

when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, listen to

My call, and believe in Me: that they may walk in the right 

way. 

(AlBaqarah, Ayah 186)

P.S. These are translations of verses from the Qu'ran. We, as Muslims believe in all of the Scriptures. We believe the Bible and the Torah were all Divinely Inspired but that human beings changed verses/removed some/etc. and that they are no longer purely from God. It is only the Qura'n that has remained untouched and protected by God.
