Gems from Juzz 'Amma: "Moved far away..."

~ Gems from Juzz 'Amma ~

Day 15/ Gem 15

Surah Layl, 92: 17: "Moved far away..."

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى

"And soon the most fearful (attqa) will be warded away from it (the hell fire)."

Attqa – those who have the MOST fear/God consciessness. This is a level higher than muttaqeen.

Janaba – to be on the side. Tajanub – to be taken on the side.

Tajneeb – to be taken extremely FAR to the side. This is what is being used in this ayah.
Moved FAR away from the hellfire and placed on the FAR side where there is total safety.

Al Wahidi comments: Al Atqa refers to Abu Bakr, because these aayaat are referring to him when he brought and freed a group of Muslim slaves who were being tortured by the disbelievers.
And due to that – these aayaat came down.

The Amazement of these 2 Aayaat:

Allah is telling us through these two earlier aayaat;

1) None will enter the Naarun Taladdhaa (crackling blazing fire) except the Ashqa (most wretched).

2) He then says that the Atqa (most God fearing) will be the saved ones who will be turned away from the fire.

What is amazing about this?
Allah is saying that the Ashqa (most wretched) will EXCLUSIVELY go to that specific crackling fire.

Bu tHe is not saying that the Atqa (most God fearing) will EXCLUSIVELY be turned away from the fire.

Meaning: those who are not on such a high level of God fearness/consciessness as the Atqa will also be turned away from the fire.

This is the amazing Mercy of Allah, because if He used the same sentence structure in both aayaat – it would mean that we would all go to hell – unless we were on the highest level of Atqa (fear of Allah/God consciessness).

The language of the Qur’an is VERY precise.

Allah has told us that those who have the most taqwa will be turned away from the fire, and also some of those below them in taqwa.

O Allah, make us of those with the highest amount of Taqwa.
