Surah Al-Muddaththir 74: - (The Enveloped One)
This Surah is Makki. It contains 56 verses and 2 sections
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful

He pondered and suggested. [18]
Death onto him! How (bad) is the suggestion he has put forward! [19]
Again, death unto him! How (bad) is the suggestion he has put forward! [20]
Then he looked (to those around him,) [21]
then he frowned and scowled, [22]
then turned his back, and waxed proud, [23]
then said, "This is nothing but traditional magic; [24]
this is nothing but saying of a mortal." [25]
I will put him into Saqar (Hell). [26]
And what can let you know what Saqar is? [27]
It neither spares (anything inside it from burning) nor leaves (any disbeliever outside). [28]
It will disfigure the skins. [29]
Appointed on it are nineteen (wardens). [30]

COMMENTARY: The word Qaddara is derived from Taqdir, and literally denotes 'to suggest'. The wretched Walid was fully convinced of the veracity of the Messengership of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam), but his anger got the better of him, and being vanquished by his arrogance and conceit, he had decided to oppose him. However, he wanted to abstain from lying openly, so that he might not be exposed to shame and disgrace. Therefore, he pondered very carefully, and suggested that he should be labelled a 'magician' on the grounds that his speech causes separation between father and son, and between brothers, as it happens in the case of sorcery. He is therefore cursed repeatedly in the verses cited above.

Even the Unbelievers Abstained from Telling Lies
When we analyse, it would appear very clearly that some unbelievers and transgressors were involved in committing all kinds of sins and shameful deeds, but they abstained from the enormity of telling lies. Abu Sufyan's statement in the royal court of Heraclius shows that the pagans were willing to sacrifice their lives and children in opposing the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam), but they were not willing to tell lies lest they were socially stigmatised as liars. Alas, in this so-called progressive world where everything moves retrogressively 'telling lies' is no sin. It is in fact treated as a great art. Let alone unbelievers, even the pious and religious Muslims do not find it hateful. They pride upon telling lies and getting others to tell lies. We seek Allah's refuge from such an attitude.

THE WOMEN of WONDER

The WOW tribute has been extremely motivating for all involved in the Campaign, and more so, the Listeners of Radio Islam. Those who have had their heart-strings pulled and eyes opened to the achievements of Muslim Woman, from within the confines of her home.

These Home Executives, Often forgotten and rarely acknowledged, bravely put pen to paper and the rest, as they say, is history. From Tear jerkers which even reduced men to tears, to striving to better the lives of their children under trying circumstances, listeners were made to realize and show gratitude for all that they have been blessed with.

Fifty inspirational stories, tales of emotional achievements, financial success, striving against the most difficult of odds with patience and hope, have been aired during the month of Ramadaan, and Four finalist have now been chosen.

The WOW wins a Kenwood Prospero, a Weekend at the Luxurious Bouma St Lucia and R1000 spending money. The finals begin on Saturday at 9:00am and stay tuned to Radio Islam to find out ultimately, who will be, the Woman of Wonder! All the stories are available online at www.radioislam.co.za

NEWS

The United Nations has vowed to press the Sri Lankan government to speed up the release of nearly 300,000 Tamils civilians held in displacement camps since the end of the civil war against Tamil separatists.

European Union election observers have said that about 1.5 million votes in last month's Afghan elections could be fraudulent.

Indonesian security forces have killed at least four people in a raid on a house on Java island believed to be linked to the hunt for those behind suicide attacks on two luxury hotels in July.

Reports say it seems that there is no end in sight yet to disruptions at the University of the Witwatersrand.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) says, the global recession could cost 25 million people their jobs.

A THOUGHT
KNEELING
---------
A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
He who kneels before Allah can stand before anyone.
 
THE SMILE
MODERN CHILD
---------------
When he received a journal as a gift, my eight-year-old son was mystified. "Mom, what am I supposed to do with this? The pages are blank."

"You write down interesting stuff that happens to you," I said.

"So it's like a blog… on paper."
