Tafseer of Surah Lahab, the 111th Surah of the Qu'ran, by Nouman Ali Khan of the Bayyinah Institute To download more lectures go to bayyinah.com/podcast/
Could you believe that Allah put the name of the fiercest enemy of Islam into a short surah, which 1.5 billion Muslims read at least once a day? This is Allah's revenge. Let's say, he lived for 50-70-80 years, but for almost 15 centuries 1.5 billion read curse on him.... It shows me how the plan of Allah is such great... Subhanallah! Another shocking thing about this surah is it proves that Allah's words are totally real and from Allah because when this surah was recited, he was alive. He could say "I believe in Allah" and this would prove others that Allah's words are complicated/unreal or temporary. However, he didn't and proved those words are totally real, Subhanallah!
Notes. From this video till 1:40:36 Allah only mentioned his name as a present enemy of islam and muhammad s.a.w His wife:: Wife name :urwa Sister of abu sufian Lineage:umayya Him:: Lahab was our prophets neighbors His uncle His two sons were married to nabi pak's. Two daughter but after islam his sons divorced nabi pak's daughter History The story of death of the son of muhammad s.a.w 🔴تبت ⚫ Destroy.. breaking apart little by little until it completely destroys (Feminine word) ⏪ :تباب (from where tab is generated .) :Tabab also means getting old and ur body is slowly getting destroyed Bcz hands are considered feminine in arabic . There is not any "it" in arabic there is only he and she ⏩(Past tense) ⚫"Both hands of abu lahab were destroyed" :Past tense is used to make dua or if u are really sure what will happen u use past tense in arabic .(some translators translate ot as "may he does that etc bcz thats also used for dua) ⏩Why use tabat word two times? Because he cursed the prophet and the relegion two times (one: when nabi pak invited his family at lunch to tell em abt islam... Two:when nabi pak announced at the mountain the one ness of Allah) ⏩Tabbat neanings :Die violently :To suffer loss :To go bad (like food) :To go to waste :Be completely void and devoid :Hands : everything he does :Figurative meaning of hands : he himself. ⏩Two other places where this word is used :Surah hud tadbeeb(worst form of destruction ; because the ayah is talking about false gods which can be anything and is worst) :surah gafir For firaón (tabab) "The planning of firaón landed him on slow and steady destruction " Then Allah says: Wa sudda anissabil (he was kept from the right path) tab is used for firaon and abu lahab ⏩Why both of hinds were drscribed Because he used his both hands for hitting a rock to rasool :Boths hands could also mran his deen and duniya were destroyed (may be destroyed) :Arabs said that one jand is for defense and one for attack in a war so both hands mean that may his ability to attack and defend destroys ⏩Why Allah used his nick name(abu lahab) The nick name is actually a complement refering to his red skin . (Beauty) also lahab also means he was hot tempered like a fire but moslty his nick name was bcz if his beauty. So why did quran used a compliment? Because his real name was عبد العز ہ (abd ul úzza) which means slave of uzza (a falso god) and that term ,is not true it does not exist, he is not a slave of a false god . The other reason for this is: in 3 ayyah ayyah Allah said "saysla naaran zata lahab" meaning that Allah is going to put him in a flame that is also flickering red .like his nick name .this ayyah is kinda sracastic ,he was called lahab for his beautiful complecion that was flickering red now he is gonna be called lauab bcz he is in fire that is flickering red If u use "abu" before a word like khair,lahab in Arabic that means u are affiliated with it ⏩ Watab at the end of first verse The first part of verse is Allah issuing a curse against him "may his hands be destroyed" there ia no guarantee if it will happen and then he used "watab" "and he was destroyed " the past tense ;which is a guarantee ⏩Abu lahab was scared of wars or fights . He never used to go to wars with muslims he was rich so he would send men on his behalf who owed him money but were poor to pay him back ⏩His sickness :He started developing huge swelling /bumps and it was considered contagious. So All his family ran away from him bcz they were afraid of getting infected. He died a slow painful death by his bumps growing huge and popping and puss coming out of it. Allah's word became true that he will die a slow painful death. :His sons (and the whole family) did not even touch his corpse .they hured some ppl to dig a hole and they forced his corpse into the the dig through woods (wooden sticks maybe ) He suffered even in this duniya 🔴دوسری آیت(second verse) ⚫His wealth and whatever he has earned did not benefit him at all (Past tense even tho it has not happened yet means it definitely WILL happen ) thats a guarantee ⏩Ma agna مَآ أَغْنَىٰ The word "ma" is strongest :It is always used to negate a counter idea Ahu lahab believed that the buggest thing he had to his advatnage was wealth so Allah negate this idea :Abu lahab has been publicly told that listen u are honna die a slow oaonful death its guaranteed and Allah dont care how much money you have or "whatever u wanna earn ;(wa ma tasab ) ⏩Wa ma kasab :In arab tradition wa ma tasab "al-kasab" is also considered your sons .more sons =more status .they are also included in your earning . So it means that your earning nor your sons will benefit" him " (Allah never use the word" you " allah never adress them directly,even the worst of kafir, that is a tradition of Allah even at the day of judgement Allah said in quran that even at the day of judgement Allah will not adress them) ⏩Why use malahu and kasab together :Malahu:what he already had from his father or grand father (money) : kasab: what you earned + ("good deeds " ) he used to give charity to earn a good name jn society but in his heart there was some assumptions that he give charity so he must be good but Allah said that Neither his maal nor his kasab did not (may not) benefit him at all . :Abu lahab took pride in two things ;money and good looks and both were destroyed . 🔴 3rd ayyah Sayasla naran zata lahab ⚫Very soon he will be chucked into a flame that has a quality of red flame (and flicker in it) ⏩ SAyasla سَيَصْلَىٰ :SA means very soon .so Allah changed the past tense to future tense . Bcz this punishment is for akhira .which is very soon in the eyes of Allah but we think its too far away ⏩ALLAH s.w.t issuing sarcasm against this man As his nick name was lahab (flickering red) and he liked to be called by it Allah s.w.t told him that he will be thrown into the fire that is lahab 🔴4 ayyah ⚫ ⏩Imra à (wife ) وَامْرَأَتُهُ "Wamra atu" hmala talhatab What is the difference between "zaouj" and "imara à" (both could mean wife) There are two purposes or functions of marriage with respect to society :Harmony (bteween families of couple) :Children (continuation of species) If one of the purpose is not fulfilled the word used is " imra à".if both purpose are fulfilled the word "zaouj" is used Thats does not make imraà a negative word bcz this word is also used for the imra à (wife) of firaon who was a very pious women . Example In Quran,For the wife if zikria a.s when zikria made dua to Allah to bless them with children the word" imra à " is used For the wife in the next ayyahs when Allah s..w.t gave them children the word zauj is used . For tge wife of abu lahab, the borh had children and also a "good harmony" according to them but according to Allah s.w.t. the harmony they had was evil so thier one purpose or function was not fulfilled thats why imra à is used for his wife int this surah :::So Allah says wamra atu There is damah on it wamra"atuhu"that is فعل ثانی He wil be thrown into the fire of red flames and so will his wife .(its a continuation of sentence) they were a team in this duniya so they will be in. Team in that duniya too ⏩Hamalla ta حَمَّالَةَ There is a fathah on it the "ta " is the faithah and there are 16 reasons in arabic for using a fathah . That means Allah ia mentioning her with disgust Its not just" carrier of fire wood " its with a disgusted tone .Allah is disgusted thats disgust is manifest just in that fathah ::Hammala Its not hamila( اسم فاعل( Hammala (alal mubalga ) means the one who keeps on carrying keeps on carrying . ::Hammala talhatab(first meaning) was used for slave women who used to carry wire fire woods and deliver it to peoples homes so that they are able to cook.SHE Thought of herself as the best and rich women but Allah mentions her as a slave(disgusted slave) ::Hammala tal hatab (second meaning) Some ullama comment that the fire that is red .what is the fuel that is given to the fire ao that is is hot flickering red are the fire woods which she and her husband would provide in hell for themselves .they will be made to to this.they did the exact same in this duniya for their place in hell without knowing. ::Hammala tal hatab (thurd meaning) The fire wood carrier is used as a figurative speech symbolisig gossip.she would listen something from one person and tell the news to ither like how hammala tal hatb (slave women) would provide woods ⏩The behaviour of ummaya (the wife) after this surah was revealed She went to find fhe prophet s.a.w at his house where abu bakr r.s and mohammad s.a.w was sitting .they saw her from afar with an angry face coming towards them and she had a stone in her hands (for throwing it on prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h) hazrat Abu bakr saw this and asked prohet about what to do so prphet Mohmmad.pb.u.h answered that dont worry she cant see see me.and when she entered the house sje was asking abu bakr where is Mohammad?(p.b.u.h) even tho he p.b.u.h was sitting next to abu bakr r.s . ::She started writing poetry against rasool s a.w before she died . She mentioned mohammad s.a.w as ذمم ) zmm or) in her poetry which is an insulting name Her poetry The one who is condemned(zmm),we are tired of him And his relegion, we have rejected And his rule ,wi will always deisobey .Abu bakr actually told rassol s.a.w that look what she wrote! But prophet s.a.aw just brused it off with "she is probably talking about zmm not me" .there is a lesson here that she barked whatwver she could bit in respond prophet just brished it off . Dont bark in response of a bark . Take it easy .Be wise ⏩ Conclusion (last ayyah) Two themes are coming to conclusion in the last ayyah There are 4 types of enwmies os islam 1:friendly enemy 2:noble enenmy 3:ratchet enemy
4:hates islm and muhammad s.a.w -Friendly kafir means who is a kafir but helped rasool like abu talib, -Noble enemy means the one who had been a great guy if he was a muslim -Ratchet enemy is the one who doesnt have a personal rivalry to muahmmad s.a.w but is an enemy bcs of political reason etc -the 4th catogary is the worst of the worst, and that is abu lahab, ⏩Four domestic scenarios for women, 1:wonderful women with wonderful wali Example : haxrat maryam and hazrat zakaria (his wali) 2: wonderfull women but terrible man/wali Example : hazrat asia and firoon 3: terrible women with wonderfull wali Example: the wifes of hazrat loot and hazrat nooh 4: terrible women and terrible man Example : abu lahab and his wife So they are worst of the worst here too, just like the worst enemy ⏩Contrast of previous surah and this surah :Allah talks about the things which will benifit us in the next life, the previous surah, tasbeeh , hamd of allah , istighfar to allah etc :In this surah allah tells us abiut the things that will have no benifit in the next life, maluhu wama kasab, ⏩Miracles of quran One of the biggest miracles is its predictions about future, eg, about rome being conquered by muslims within ten years, about abu lahab, ⏩ firoon and abu lahab :Quran said abiut firoon that firoon was kept from the straight path and he lended himself tabab :Abu lahab was also kept from accepting the path, as he could have accepted islam when surah lahab was revealed to prove to prohphet that what quran had said (that he is gonna burn in hell) is wrong but he didnt ⏩In surah al isra allah made a promise that haq will come and falsehood will destroy And the sequence of these three surahs is Kafiroom , nasr, lahab,, we see in these surah the promise being fulfilled made in surah isra, Kafiron : there are 2 disntinct relegions, one islam and one that is any other releigion other than islam, deenukum wali yadeen Nasr : in this surah we learn that one deen , haq will win Lahab : this surah talks aboyt batil, falsehood being destroyed Thats the tareeqa of quran, we see a seed somewhere else and the flowers of it blooming on another place
5:40 one thing to note at this point is one can belong to the best of the tribe or have best family status, be the wealthiest in the community, be really attractive and beautiful.... But yet is not capable to receive Allah's love and mercy.... What a lose of life.....
why surah lahab name is given surah al masad in some copies of Quran .there should be one precise name written for each surah besides all its other names because its going to cause confusion for those who do not know so much about Quran and could lead towards criticism.and its not the only surah i found two other surahas with differnent name in some copies of Quran.if anyone knows?

While some points that Brother Nouman makes are excellent, there are other which do not hold up to scrutiny. E.g he said that the word Zauj is used when there is both harmony and children in a marriage. Allah SWA in Surah Tahreem mentions the word Azwaaj which is the plural of Zauj for prophet SAW' s wives R.A. However, the prophet SAW did not have children from any of these wives.
noman ali did say his (saws) wives were mentioned as such. And he also mentioned how wife of adam (as) was called zawj and to live in jannah despite the fact they would only have children in earth. Basically zawj is used when there is wanted fulfillment in marriage. The wives of zakaria and ibrahim (as) wanted children and it felt something was missing without them. But regarding aisha (ra) for example, she inherited the teachings and there was no unfulfilness without chidren. And noman ali was quoting other scholars.
I have a question. Brother Nouman said that Abu Lahab celebrated the death of Prophet S.A.W's sons but didn't prophet Saw's sons die before he received the first revelation?
why surah lahab name is given surah al masad in some copies of Quran .there should be one precise name written for each surah besides all its other names because its going to cause confusion for those who do not know so much about Quran and could lead towards criticism.and its not the only surah i found two other surahas with differnent name in some copies of Quran.if anyone knows?
the names of the surahs in the quran are not divinely revealed, meaning neither allah nor did the prophet name the chapters of quran. the companions named these chapters, for example surah al ikhlas has 21 names. so the names doesn’t really matter
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ 111:1 تَبَّتْ يَدَآ اَبِيْ لَهَبٍ وَّتَبَّۗ - ١ Binasalah kedua tangan Abu Lahab dan benar-benar binasa dia! 111:2 مَآ اَغْنٰى عَنْهُ مَالُهٗ وَمَا كَسَبَۗ - ٢ Tidaklah berguna baginya hartanya dan apa yang dia usahakan. 111:3 سَيَصْلٰى نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍۙ - ٣ Kelak dia akan masuk ke dalam api yang bergejolak (neraka). 111:4 وَّامْرَاَتُهٗ ۗحَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِۚ - ٤ Dan (begitu pula) istrinya, pembawa kayu bakar (penyebar fitnah). 111:5 فِيْ جِيْدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّنْ مَّسَدٍ ࣖ - ٥ Di lehernya ada tali dari sabut yang dipintal.
It was the son who divorced his daughter and then came and spat at his feet, not on him it near him. And it wasn’t his son, it was the son of Abu Lahab. The one killed by a lion.
he clearly explained because how disrespectful he was towards him and his daughter and the only reason for that is that the prophet (saws) preached the words of Allah
Plus the point about Zauj and Imraah that Nouman Ali Khan has made does not hold up to scrutiny. Allah mentions the word Azwaaj which is plural for Zauj in Surah Tahreem, for prophet SAW's wives. None of whom had children.
As far as i read in seerah books...abu jahal was killed in battle of Badar ...sir Noman is saying he was killed by a disease Please share correct references
1:19:21 This is the only surah which is dedicated to the enemy of islam, who is named after an enemy, ⚫information About lahab and his wife⚫ Abu lahab and his wife were the most famous person , politically powerfull, -ABU LAHAB was Treasury keeper, young guy who was beautiful ,orignal name was abdul uzza and nickname was lahab means flames that flickers and gives light , abu lahab had reddish complexion and he was handsome, his lineage was very powerfull, Grandson of hashin, his tribe, family background was powerful etc -HIS WIFE's orginal name was urwa, she was also a high progile person , granddaughter of ummaiya, her nickname was um jameel, jameel means beautiful and um means mother so she was called mother of beautiful, thats how beautiful she was these two high profiles celebrities were married to eachother , she was also a poetess ⚫ Historical background⚫ 🔴Evil acts of lahab🔴 -abu lahab was a muskrik , a kafiir and a direct enemy of hazrat muhammad saw. No enemy got that far like the way he went -hazrat muhammad saw and abu lahab were neighbors, they both shared a wall, and it didn't have roof, so whenever nabi would recite Quran, he would throw trash or dead animals' skin and sometimes it would make nabi saw cry 🔴 Hazrat muhammad's dua against his son🔴 -abu lahab was the uncle and a father-in-law of hazrat muhammad, two of his sons were married to two of hazrat muhammad daughters, but after he naboowat thier sons divorced the daughters, and one of the sons actually cane to rasool and spit in front of him (not on him but infront of him) and that was a sign of disrespect, -after that incident nabi pak made a dua against him (the son) that included that oh allah get him killed by one of the dogs u have created , and when abu lahab got to know about it, he got paranoid that his something is gonna happen to his son, which tells us that he still believes in hazrat muhammad's dua, abu lahab wnd his family were travelling and he put special security of horses and animals around his son so he may not gt hurt, but a lion comes in the middle of the night, passed through all the security animals (but no animal made any noise ) and he makde it all the way into tent and he killed the son 🔴the death of hazrat muhammad's son: qasim🔴 -nabi pak lost his son earky in thier age, when abu lahab got to know it, he went dancing and screaming, he went to a masjid and said 'batara muhhamadun' batara means to have someone's lineage cutoff, he said it bcz the usually the sons carry the name of of khandan, he was his uncle, it's the death in his family, and yet he still did this evil 🔴abu lahab's cursing 🔴 - nabi (SAW) invited the people to dinner to talk to them about deen but nobody really listened, so he again held a dinner to talk to people about deen and while he was callin gpeople to deen, abu lahab asked what would i get by following this deen, nabi responded somewhat along the lines that, u will get paradise just like the other mumiin, he said TAB! I would get equal to THEM? he got proud and ego, -another incident is that nabi (SAW) climbed a hill and gathered people to give dwah where hazrat ali accepted islam but abu lahab said TAB! u have wasted my time. - he cursed the relegion and muahmmad saw two times, and in surah lahab allah also used the same word TAB to curse him and its used two times 🔴Two places in Quran where tab is used :Surah hud tadbeeb(worst form of destruction ; Taba is the base and tadbeeb is an 'worst version' of taba because the ayah is talking about false gods which can be anything and is worst)while surah lahab talks aboutbonly 1 false god ehich is maal so the losss is smaller 🔴Tabbat neanings :Die violently :To suffer loss :To go bad (like food) :To go to waste :Be completely void and devoid :Hands : everything he does :Figurative meaning of hands : he himself. Meaning thatmay he and what he does is destroyed, (like his plan against rasool and he heimself got destroyed) ⚫His wealth and whatever he has earned did not benefit him at all (Past tense even tho it has not happened yet means it definitely WILL happen ) thats a guarantee ⏩Ma agna مَآ أَغْنَىٰ The word "ma" is strongest :It is always used to negate a counter idea Ahu lahab believed that the buggest thing he had to his advatnage was wealth so Allah negate this idea :Its a more stronger no, (not at all) :Abu lahab has been publicly told that listen u are honna die a slow oaonful death its guaranteed and Allah dont care how much money you have or "whatever u wanna earn ;(wa ma tasab ) The wama kasab m him ana h not u
Lahab wasn’t afraid of dua from Allah. Muhammed is Allah so Lahab was afraid that he actually would burn him himself. It was a new religion and he just heard a guy come out of a cave saying he heard revelations. And heard a guy saying Perish and you will be tortured by an ‘Allah.’ You have the benefit of hindsight is 20/20 and the ability to study the ENTIRE Quran.
abu lahab believed in Allaah and he like other arabs considered Allaah to be the supreme deity so he would obviously be afraid if dua to made to Allaah against him. You have no knowledge of history so your empty brain is filled with crappy reasoning.
please get your facts right on Hazrat Abu Talib A.S he married the prophet saw and raised him ...how could he not be Muslim. ..he protected him supported him saw giving shahada in public was probably a political decision if that's what ur going on ...his Islam was far greater than one can imagine his role in a Islam was paramount ...please research as u deserve to know
Dear Sumera, Our Prophet s.a.w uncle Abu Talib no doubt loved him a lot and protected him from quraaish on more than one occasion but he died as a non believer . Only Hazrat Hamza R.A and Abbas R.A who were also uncles of Prophet s.a.w.w accepted Islam. And Hazrat Ali R.A who was Prophet s.a.w.w Cousin and son in law. Assalam o Alaikum wa rehmatulla
Could you believe that Allah put the name of the fiercest enemy of Islam into a short surah, which 1.5 billion Muslims read at least once a day? This is Allah's revenge. Let's say, he lived for 50-70-80 years, but for almost 15 centuries 1.5 billion read curse on him.... It shows me how the plan of Allah is such great... Subhanallah! Another shocking thing about this surah is it proves that Allah's words are totally real and from Allah because when this surah was recited, he was alive. He could say "I believe in Allah" and this would prove others that Allah's words are complicated/unreal or temporary. However, he didn't and proved those words are totally real, Subhanallah!

Notes. From this video
till 1:40:36
Allah only mentioned his name as a present enemy of islam and muhammad s.a.w
His wife::
Wife name :urwa
Sister of abu sufian
Lineage:umayya
Him::
Lahab was our prophets neighbors
His uncle
His two sons were married to nabi pak's. Two daughter but after islam his sons divorced nabi pak's daughter
History
The story of death of the son of muhammad s.a.w
🔴تبت
⚫ Destroy.. breaking apart little by little until it completely destroys
(Feminine word)
⏪ :تباب (from where tab is generated .)
:Tabab also means getting old and ur body is slowly getting destroyed
Bcz hands are considered feminine in arabic . There is not any "it" in arabic there is only he and she
⏩(Past tense)
⚫"Both hands of abu lahab were destroyed"
:Past tense is used to make dua or if u are really sure what will happen u use past tense in arabic .(some translators translate ot as "may he does that etc bcz thats also used for dua)
⏩Why use tabat word two times?
Because he cursed the prophet and the relegion two times (one: when nabi pak invited his family at lunch to tell em abt islam... Two:when nabi pak announced at the mountain the one ness of Allah)
⏩Tabbat neanings
:Die violently
:To suffer loss
:To go bad (like food)
:To go to waste
:Be completely void and devoid
:Hands : everything he does
:Figurative meaning of hands : he himself.
⏩Two other places where this word is used
:Surah hud tadbeeb(worst form of destruction ; because the ayah is talking about false gods which can be anything and is worst)
:surah gafir
For firaón (tabab)
"The planning of firaón landed him on slow and steady destruction "
Then Allah says:
Wa sudda anissabil
(he was kept from the right path)
tab is used for firaon and abu lahab
⏩Why both of hinds were drscribed
Because he used his both hands for hitting a rock to rasool
:Boths hands could also mran his deen and duniya were destroyed (may be destroyed)
:Arabs said that one jand is for defense and one for attack in a war so both hands mean that may his ability to attack and defend destroys
⏩Why Allah used his nick name(abu lahab)
The nick name is actually a complement refering to his red skin . (Beauty) also lahab also means he was hot tempered like a fire but moslty his nick name was bcz if his beauty.
So why did quran used a compliment?
Because his real name was عبد العز ہ (abd ul úzza) which means slave of uzza (a falso god) and that term ,is not true it does not exist, he is not a slave of a false god .
The other reason for this is: in 3 ayyah ayyah Allah said "saysla naaran zata lahab" meaning that Allah is going to put him in a flame that is also flickering red .like his nick name .this ayyah is kinda sracastic ,he was called lahab for his beautiful complecion that was flickering red now he is gonna be called lauab bcz he is in fire that is flickering red
If u use "abu" before a word like khair,lahab in Arabic that means u are affiliated with it
⏩ Watab at the end of first verse
The first part of verse is Allah issuing a curse against him "may his hands be destroyed" there ia no guarantee if it will happen and then he used "watab" "and he was destroyed " the past tense ;which is a guarantee
⏩Abu lahab was scared of wars or fights . He never used to go to wars with muslims he was rich so he would send men on his behalf who owed him money but were poor to pay him back
⏩His sickness
:He started developing huge swelling /bumps and it was considered contagious. So All his family ran away from him bcz they were afraid of getting infected. He died a slow painful death by his bumps growing huge and popping and puss coming out of it.
Allah's word became true that he will die a slow painful death.
:His sons (and the whole family) did not even touch his corpse .they hured some ppl to dig a hole and they forced his corpse into the the dig through woods (wooden sticks maybe )
He suffered even in this duniya
🔴دوسری آیت(second verse)
⚫His wealth and whatever he has earned did not benefit him at all
(Past tense even tho it has not happened yet means it definitely WILL happen ) thats a guarantee
⏩Ma agna مَآ أَغْنَىٰ
The word "ma" is strongest
:It is always used to negate a counter idea
Ahu lahab believed that the buggest thing he had to his advatnage was wealth so Allah negate this idea
:Abu lahab has been publicly told that listen u are honna die a slow oaonful death its guaranteed and Allah dont care how much money you have or "whatever u wanna earn ;(wa ma tasab )
⏩Wa ma kasab
:In arab tradition wa ma tasab "al-kasab" is also considered your sons .more sons =more status .they are also included in your earning . So it means that your earning nor your sons will benefit" him " (Allah never use the word" you " allah never adress them directly,even the worst of kafir, that is a tradition of Allah even at the day of judgement Allah said in quran that even at the day of judgement Allah will not adress them)
⏩Why use malahu and kasab together
:Malahu:what he already had from his father or grand father (money)
: kasab: what you earned + ("good deeds " ) he used to give charity to earn a good name jn society but in his heart there was some assumptions that he give charity so he must be good but Allah said that
Neither his maal nor his kasab did not (may not) benefit him at all .
:Abu lahab took pride in two things ;money and good looks and both were destroyed .
🔴 3rd ayyah
Sayasla naran zata lahab
⚫Very soon he will be chucked into a flame that has a quality of red flame (and flicker in it)
⏩ SAyasla سَيَصْلَىٰ
:SA means very soon .so Allah changed the past tense to future tense . Bcz this punishment is for akhira .which is very soon in the eyes of Allah but we think its too far away
⏩ALLAH s.w.t issuing sarcasm against this man
As his nick name was lahab (flickering red) and he liked to be called by it Allah s.w.t told him that he will be thrown into the fire that is lahab
🔴4 ayyah
⚫
⏩Imra à (wife ) وَامْرَأَتُهُ
"Wamra atu" hmala talhatab
What is the difference between "zaouj" and "imara à" (both could mean wife)
There are two purposes or functions of marriage with respect to society
:Harmony (bteween families of couple)
:Children (continuation of species)
If one of the purpose is not fulfilled the word used is " imra à".if both purpose are fulfilled the word "zaouj" is used
Thats does not make imraà a negative word bcz this word is also used for the imra à (wife) of firaon who was a very pious women .
Example
In Quran,For the wife if zikria a.s when zikria made dua to Allah to bless them with children the word" imra à " is used
For the wife in the next ayyahs when Allah s..w.t gave them children the word zauj is used .
For tge wife of abu lahab, the borh had children and also a "good harmony" according to them but according to Allah s.w.t. the harmony they had was evil so thier one purpose or function was not fulfilled thats why imra à is used for his wife int this surah
:::So Allah says wamra atu
There is damah on it wamra"atuhu"that is فعل ثانی
He wil be thrown into the fire of red flames and so will his wife .(its a continuation of sentence) they were a team in this duniya so they will be in. Team in that duniya too
⏩Hamalla ta حَمَّالَةَ
There is a fathah on it the "ta " is the faithah and there are 16 reasons in arabic for using a fathah . That means Allah ia mentioning her with disgust
Its not just" carrier of fire wood " its with a disgusted tone .Allah is disgusted thats disgust is manifest just in that fathah
::Hammala
Its not hamila( اسم فاعل(
Hammala (alal mubalga ) means the one who keeps on carrying keeps on carrying .
::Hammala talhatab(first meaning) was used for slave women who used to carry wire fire woods and deliver it to peoples homes so that they are able to cook.SHE Thought of herself as the best and rich women but Allah mentions her as a slave(disgusted slave)
::Hammala tal hatab (second meaning)
Some ullama comment that the fire that is red .what is the fuel that is given to the fire ao that is is hot flickering red are the fire woods which she and her husband would provide in hell for themselves .they will be made to to this.they did the exact same in this duniya for their place in hell without knowing.
::Hammala tal hatab (thurd meaning)
The fire wood carrier is used as a figurative speech symbolisig gossip.she would listen something from one person and tell the news to ither like how hammala tal hatb (slave women) would provide woods
⏩The behaviour of ummaya (the wife) after this surah was revealed
She went to find fhe prophet s.a.w at his house where abu bakr r.s and mohammad s.a.w was sitting .they saw her from afar with an angry face coming towards them and she had a stone in her hands (for throwing it on prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h) hazrat Abu bakr saw this and asked prohet about what to do so prphet Mohmmad.pb.u.h answered that dont worry she cant see see me.and when she entered the house sje was asking abu bakr where is Mohammad?(p.b.u.h) even tho he p.b.u.h was sitting next to abu bakr r.s .
::She started writing poetry against rasool s a.w before she died .
She mentioned mohammad s.a.w as ذمم ) zmm or) in her poetry which is an insulting name
Her poetry
The one who is condemned(zmm),we are tired of him
And his relegion, we have rejected
And his rule ,wi will always deisobey
.Abu bakr actually told rassol s.a.w that look what she wrote! But prophet s.a.aw just brused it off with "she is probably talking about zmm not me" .there is a lesson here that she barked whatwver she could bit in respond prophet just brished it off . Dont bark in response of a bark . Take it easy .Be wise
⏩ Conclusion (last ayyah)
Two themes are coming to conclusion in the last ayyah
There are 4 types of enwmies os islam
1:friendly enemy
2:noble enenmy
3:ratchet enemy
4:hates islm and muhammad s.a.w
-Friendly kafir means who is a kafir but helped rasool like abu talib,
-Noble enemy means the one who had been a great guy if he was a muslim
-Ratchet enemy is the one who doesnt have a personal rivalry to muahmmad s.a.w but is an enemy bcs of political reason etc
-the 4th catogary is the worst of the worst, and that is abu lahab,
⏩Four domestic scenarios for women,
1:wonderful women with wonderful wali
Example : haxrat maryam and hazrat zakaria (his wali)
2: wonderfull women but terrible man/wali
Example : hazrat asia and firoon
3: terrible women with wonderfull wali
Example: the wifes of hazrat loot and hazrat nooh
4: terrible women and terrible man
Example : abu lahab and his wife
So they are worst of the worst here too, just like the worst enemy
⏩Contrast of previous surah and this surah
:Allah talks about the things which will benifit us in the next life, the previous surah, tasbeeh , hamd of allah , istighfar to allah etc
:In this surah allah tells us abiut the things that will have no benifit in the next life, maluhu wama kasab,
⏩Miracles of quran
One of the biggest miracles is its predictions about future, eg, about rome being conquered by muslims within ten years, about abu lahab,
⏩ firoon and abu lahab
:Quran said abiut firoon that firoon was kept from the straight path and he lended himself tabab
:Abu lahab was also kept from accepting the path, as he could have accepted islam when surah lahab was revealed to prove to prohphet that what quran had said (that he is gonna burn in hell) is wrong but he didnt
⏩In surah al isra allah made a promise that haq will come and falsehood will destroy And the sequence of these three surahs is Kafiroom , nasr, lahab,, we see in these surah the promise being fulfilled made in surah isra,
Kafiron : there are 2 disntinct relegions, one islam and one that is any other releigion other than islam, deenukum wali yadeen
Nasr : in this surah we learn that one deen , haq will win
Lahab : this surah talks aboyt batil, falsehood being destroyed
Thats the tareeqa of quran, we see a seed somewhere else and the flowers of it blooming on another place
Barakullah
thank youuu, i did not want to watch the very long video so this rlly helped
Thank you, brother, for your hard work.
@@Jon-tz9nd jazakallah means alotttt
5:40 one thing to note at this point is one can belong to the best of the tribe or have best family status, be the wealthiest in the community, be really attractive and beautiful.... But yet is not capable to receive Allah's love and mercy....
What a lose of life.....
I fail to understand the people who disliked this ....
Exactly, mind boggling
May Allah reward you for your great efforts ❤
It's known as surah masad and lahab both names
It's like surah Fatiha has many names
why surah lahab name is given surah al masad in some copies of Quran .there should be one precise name written for each surah besides all its other names because its going to cause confusion for those who do not know so much about Quran and could lead towards criticism.and its not the only surah i found two other surahas with differnent name in some copies of Quran.if anyone knows?
Ustahd Nouman mentioned Tafseer of surah al kawthar..can you upload it if it is available ..thanks in advanced
Bless you Sir. Such a great knowledge we get from you.

اتمنى نشر المقطع مترجم عربي ولكم جزيل الشكر
Subhanallah, no wonder the Arabs were gobsmacked when they heard these short verses
Does anyone know whereto find the book about miracles of Quran ny Abu Bakr (a different abu Bakr :)
It's in Minute 1.16
While some points that Brother Nouman makes are excellent, there are other which do not hold up to scrutiny. E.g he said that the word Zauj is used when there is both harmony and children in a marriage. Allah SWA in Surah Tahreem mentions the word Azwaaj which is the plural of Zauj for prophet SAW' s wives R.A. However, the prophet SAW did not have children from any of these wives.
noman ali did say his (saws) wives were mentioned as such. And he also mentioned how wife of adam (as) was called zawj and to live in jannah despite the fact they would only have children in earth. Basically zawj is used when there is wanted fulfillment in marriage. The wives of zakaria and ibrahim (as) wanted children and it felt something was missing without them. But regarding aisha (ra) for example, she inherited the teachings and there was no unfulfilness without chidren. And noman ali was quoting other scholars.
The prophet (saw) did have multiple children.
I have a question.
Brother Nouman said that Abu Lahab celebrated the death of Prophet S.A.W's sons but didn't prophet Saw's sons die before he received the first revelation?
some of his sons did die after. I mean his son ibraheem died in the madinah period probably.
why surah lahab name is given surah al masad in some copies of Quran
.there should be one precise name written for each surah besides all its
other names because its going to cause confusion for those who do not
know so much about Quran and could lead towards criticism.and its not
the only surah i found two other surahas with differnent name in some
copies of Quran.if anyone knows?
the names of the surahs in the quran are not divinely revealed, meaning neither allah nor did the prophet name the chapters of quran. the companions named these chapters, for example surah al ikhlas has 21 names. so the names doesn’t really matter
Wt about last verse....
He didn't talk about the last verse of this Surah in details
Ess Ma
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
111:1
تَبَّتْ يَدَآ اَبِيْ لَهَبٍ وَّتَبَّۗ - ١
Binasalah kedua tangan Abu Lahab dan benar-benar binasa dia!
111:2
مَآ اَغْنٰى عَنْهُ مَالُهٗ وَمَا كَسَبَۗ - ٢
Tidaklah berguna baginya hartanya dan apa yang dia usahakan.
111:3
سَيَصْلٰى نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍۙ - ٣
Kelak dia akan masuk ke dalam api yang bergejolak (neraka).
111:4
وَّامْرَاَتُهٗ ۗحَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِۚ - ٤
Dan (begitu pula) istrinya, pembawa kayu bakar (penyebar fitnah).
111:5
فِيْ جِيْدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّنْ مَّسَدٍ ࣖ - ٥
Di lehernya ada tali dari sabut yang dipintal.
Surah Al Masd
Isnt this Surah called Masad, instead of Lahab?
sammy pammy it has many name. Lahab and masad or tabbat
It has more than one name
one surah can be called by multiple names. Like isra and bani israel. Or fussilat and ha meem sajdah.
49:48
8:17 Why did the prophet (SAW) make dua against his son?
I believe Ustadh Nou’man talked about the whole story. He was very disrespectful towards him. You can try to listen to that part again.
It was the son who divorced his daughter and then came and spat at his feet, not on him it near him. And it wasn’t his son, it was the son of Abu Lahab. The one killed by a lion.
he clearly explained because how disrespectful he was towards him and his daughter and the only reason for that is that the prophet (saws) preached the words of Allah
The last ayah is to do with the wife
Her Jewels that she wore in the dunya that will wrap around her neck and punish her??
No, in the last ayat it is said a rope made of palm fibre will be wrapped around her neck.
@@anikatasnim2871 Rightly said.
she had necklace in this life. but something painful and cheap in afterlife.
Makes me feel like I am not good enough. Still makes me feel missing something Cuz I have no kids. I will be called the same as Abu lahabs wife. 😢😢😢
You will have children in Jannah if you are a true Muslim.
Plus the point about Zauj and Imraah that Nouman Ali Khan has made does not hold up to scrutiny. Allah mentions the word Azwaaj which is plural for Zauj in Surah Tahreem, for prophet SAW's wives. None of whom had children.
As far as i read in seerah books...abu jahal was killed in battle of Badar ...sir Noman is saying he was killed by a disease
Please share correct references
I'm also thinking the same. Nd reading comments to find answer
1:19:21
This is the only surah which is dedicated to the enemy of islam, who is named after an enemy,
⚫information About lahab and his wife⚫
Abu lahab and his wife were the most famous person , politically powerfull,
-ABU LAHAB was Treasury keeper, young guy who was beautiful ,orignal name was abdul uzza and nickname was lahab means flames that flickers and gives light , abu lahab had reddish complexion and he was handsome, his lineage was very powerfull, Grandson of hashin, his tribe, family background was powerful etc
-HIS WIFE's orginal name was urwa, she was also a high progile person , granddaughter of ummaiya, her nickname was um jameel, jameel means beautiful and um means mother so she was called mother of beautiful, thats how beautiful she was these two high profiles celebrities were married to eachother , she was also a poetess
⚫ Historical background⚫
🔴Evil acts of lahab🔴
-abu lahab was a muskrik , a kafiir and a direct enemy of hazrat muhammad saw. No enemy got that far like the way he went
-hazrat muhammad saw and abu lahab were neighbors, they both shared a wall, and it didn't have roof, so whenever nabi would recite Quran, he would throw trash or dead animals' skin and sometimes it would make nabi saw cry
🔴 Hazrat muhammad's dua against his son🔴
-abu lahab was the uncle and a father-in-law of hazrat muhammad, two of his sons were married to two of hazrat muhammad daughters, but after he naboowat thier sons divorced the daughters, and one of the sons actually cane to rasool and spit in front of him (not on him but infront of him) and that was a sign of disrespect,
-after that incident nabi pak made a dua against him (the son) that included that oh allah get him killed by one of the dogs u have created , and when abu lahab got to know about it, he got paranoid that his something is gonna happen to his son, which tells us that he still believes in hazrat muhammad's dua, abu lahab wnd his family were travelling and he put special security of horses and animals around his son so he may not gt hurt, but a lion comes in the middle of the night, passed through all the security animals (but no animal made any noise ) and he makde it all the way into tent and he killed the son
🔴the death of hazrat muhammad's son: qasim🔴
-nabi pak lost his son earky in thier age, when abu lahab got to know it, he went dancing and screaming, he went to a masjid and said 'batara muhhamadun' batara means to have someone's lineage cutoff, he said it bcz the usually the sons carry the name of of khandan, he was his uncle, it's the death in his family, and yet he still did this evil
🔴abu lahab's cursing 🔴
- nabi (SAW) invited the people to dinner to talk to them about deen but nobody really listened, so he again held a dinner to talk to people about deen and while he was callin gpeople to deen, abu lahab asked what would i get by following this deen, nabi responded somewhat along the lines that, u will get paradise just like the other mumiin, he said TAB! I would get equal to THEM? he got proud and ego,
-another incident is that nabi (SAW) climbed a hill and gathered people to give dwah where hazrat ali accepted islam but abu lahab said TAB! u have wasted my time.
- he cursed the relegion and muahmmad saw two times, and in surah lahab allah also used the same word TAB to curse him and its used two times
🔴Two places in Quran where tab is used
:Surah hud tadbeeb(worst form of destruction ; Taba is the base and tadbeeb is an 'worst version' of taba because the ayah is talking about false gods which can be anything and is worst)while surah lahab talks aboutbonly 1 false god ehich is maal so the losss is smaller
🔴Tabbat neanings
:Die violently
:To suffer loss
:To go bad (like food)
:To go to waste
:Be completely void and devoid
:Hands : everything he does
:Figurative meaning of hands : he himself. Meaning thatmay he and what he does is destroyed, (like his plan against rasool and he heimself got destroyed)
⚫His wealth and whatever he has earned did not benefit him at all
(Past tense even tho it has not happened yet means it definitely WILL happen ) thats a guarantee
⏩Ma agna مَآ أَغْنَىٰ
The word "ma" is strongest
:It is always used to negate a counter idea
Ahu lahab believed that the buggest thing he had to his advatnage was wealth so Allah negate this idea
:Its a more stronger no, (not at all)
:Abu lahab has been publicly told that listen u are honna die a slow oaonful death its guaranteed and Allah dont care how much money you have or "whatever u wanna earn ;(wa ma tasab )
The wama kasab m him ana h not u
Lahab wasn’t afraid of dua from Allah. Muhammed is Allah so Lahab was afraid that he actually would burn him himself. It was a new religion and he just heard a guy come out of a cave saying he heard revelations. And heard a guy saying Perish and you will be tortured by an ‘Allah.’ You have the benefit of hindsight is 20/20 and the ability to study the ENTIRE Quran.
Muhammed is not Allah.. Muhammed (PBUH) is Allah’s messenger only. Allah is One, Who has no partners.
abu lahab believed in Allaah and he like other arabs considered Allaah to be the supreme deity so he would obviously be afraid if dua to made to Allaah against him. You have no knowledge of history so your empty brain is filled with crappy reasoning.
summera agha ...abuthalib was not a Muslim.pls learn
please get your facts right on Hazrat Abu Talib A.S he married the prophet saw and raised him ...how could he not be Muslim. ..he protected him supported him saw giving shahada in public was probably a political decision if that's what ur going on ...his Islam was far greater than one can imagine his role in a Islam was paramount ...please research as u deserve to know
Summera Agha uh, the Prophet (saw) only married women.
Dear Sumera, Our Prophet s.a.w uncle Abu Talib no doubt loved him a lot and protected him from quraaish on more than one occasion but he died as a non believer . Only Hazrat Hamza R.A and Abbas R.A who were also uncles of Prophet s.a.w.w accepted Islam. And Hazrat Ali R.A who was Prophet s.a.w.w Cousin and son in law. Assalam o Alaikum wa rehmatulla
bruh
get yo facts rat
is this a joke?
