Those who are cursed in the eyes of the Qur'an



 Al-Quran is the message of salvation for the world humanity.  Allah Ta'ala revealed this book to the last prophet, Khatamunnabiyyin Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to guide mankind to the most simple and correct path.  This eternal and eternal word of Allah has been revealed to draw the line of difference between right and wrong, truth and falsehood, right and wrong, good and bad, profit and loss and light and darkness.

Whoever loves the Qur'an the most, keeps it close to his chest and takes it as a milestone in every phase of life, he will be guided to the right path.  Be able to distinguish between light and dark.

 One of the evils that the Qur'an warns people about is the 'curse of furniture', which means being deprived of God's mercy.  The Qur'an mentions those who disobeyed Allah's mercy through the ages.

 Below we will attempt to highlight some of the deprived and cursed mentioned in the Qur'an.  Inshallahul Aziz.

 One.

 The first to be cursed is Iblis

 Allah says:

 لَّعَنَهُ اللهُ وَ قَالَ لَاَتَّخِذَنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ نَصِیْبًا مَّفْرُوْضًا.

 To whom Allah has cursed.  And he said (to Allah), I will take a fixed portion from among Your servants.  - Surah Nisa (4): 118

Elsewhere it has been pointed out that-

 وَّ اِنَّ عَلَیْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ اِلٰی يَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ.

 You will be cursed till the Day of Judgment.  - Surah Hijr (15): 35

 The reason why Iblis was cursed was because he violated the command of Allah Ta'ala to prostrate Adam A.S.  He disobeyed God's order out of pride.  He is Hazrat Adam.  He thought himself superior.  Did not repent for violating Allah's order;  Instead, it challenged Allah.  Because of these he was cursed.  It is described in various surahs in the Quran.

 Verse 34 of Surah Baqarah, verse 11 of Surah A'raf, verse 31 of Surah Hijr, verse 61 of Surah Isra, verse 50 of Surah Kahf, verse 20 of Surah Tahar and verse 74 of Surah Chhad have described this matter.  The gist of all places is that after Allah created Hazrat Adam, the chief of the jinn, Iblis and the angels, ordered you to prostrate yourselves to Adam.  All the angels prostrated before him.  But Iblis did not prostrate;  On the contrary, arguments started.  Showed pride.  Challenged against Allah's orders.  The conversation of Iblis with Allah in Surah Isra is given below-

 وَ اِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِبلِيسَ قَالَ ءَاَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِيْنُا قَالَ َرَءَيْتَكَ هٰذَا الَّذِیْ كَرَّمْتَ عَلَیَّ ؗ لَىِنْ اَخَّرْتَنِ اِلٰی يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَاَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّیَّتَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا, قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ فَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَآؤُكُمْ جَزَآً مَّوْفُوْرًا ,وَ اسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ اسْتَعْتَ مِنْهُمْ بِصَوتِكَ وَ اَجْلِب  عَلَیْهِمْ بِخَیْلِكَ وَ رَجِلِكَ وَ شَارِكْهُمْ فِی الْاَمْوَالِ وَ الْاَوْلَادِ وَعِدْهُمْ وَ مَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُورًا, اِنَّ عِبَ ادِیْ لَیْسَ لَكَ عَلَیْهِمْ سُلْطٰنٌ وَ كَفٰی بِرَبِّكَ وَكِیْلًا.

 And remember the time, when We said to the angels, Prostrate to Adam.  Then they prostrated, but Iblis did not.  He said, Shall I prostrate to Him whom You have created from clay?  He began to say, Tell me, what is this creation, which you have bestowed upon me!  If you give me respite until the Day of Resurrection, I will put bridles on the jaws of all but a few of his progeny.

Allah said, Go, whoever among them follows you, Hell will be the punishment for all of you - the full punishment.  Confuse with your calls among those over whom your power rests, ride upon them with your cavalry and infantry, partake of their wealth and offspring, and promise them as much as you can.  In fact, the promises that Satan makes to them are nothing but deception.  Verily, those who are My servants, You will have no power over them.  Sufficient is your Lord as your protector.  - Surah Isra (17): 65

 Lessons from events

 We are servants of Allah.  Allah is our creator.  our lord  our owner  We have to follow His orders to us properly.  It cannot be ignored.

 Even without understanding any of his commands, we have to accept that he is omniscient, our knowledge is limited;  So His order is surely good for us.

 One must submit oneself before any command of Him.  No arrogance can be displayed.

 Sometimes when a commandment is disobeyed, one must turn back from it, repent.  Do not stubbornly persist in mistakes.  Only then can we escape His curse and attain His pleasure.

Two.

 The Jews are eternally damned because of many crimes

 The Jews are one of those whom Allah has repeatedly declared cursed in the Qur'an.  Allah says:

 قُلْ هَلْ اُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَرٍّ مِّنْ ذٰلِكَ مَثُوْبَةً عِنْدَ اللهِ مَنْ لَّعَنَهُ اللهُ وَ غَضِبَ عَلَیْهِ وَ جَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ الْقِرَدَةَ وَ الْخَنَازِيْ رَ وَ عَبَدَ الطَّاغُوْتَ اُولٰىِٕكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّ اَضَلُّ عَنْ سَوَآءِ السَّبِيْلِ.

 Say (O Prophet! To them), Shall I inform you, (that which you consider evil) who will have a worse end with Allah than him?  (They are) those on whom Allah has cursed, on whom He has rained down His wrath, on whom He has turned some into monkeys and pigs, and those who have worshiped the Shaytaan.  - Surah Mayida (5): 60

 These verses are describing the evil consequences of various evil deeds of the Jews.  Allah's curse has come upon them because of their various wrongdoings.  The curse of Allah has been declared on them.  This verse briefly indicates that.

 The reasons for which Allah cursed them have been described in detail in various places in the Qur'an.  They are summarized below.

 A.  Knowingly persisting in disbelief

 Allah says:

 وَ قَالُوْا قُلُوْبُنَا غُلْفٌ  بَلْ لَّعَنَهُمُ اللهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَقَلِيْلًا مَّا يُءمِنُوْنَ, وَ لَمَّا Jَآءَهُمْ كِتٰبٌ مِّنْ عِندِ اللهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ وَ كَانُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ يَسْتَفْتِحُوْنَ عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ مَّا عَرَفُوا كَفَرُوْا بِهٖ ؗ فَلَعْنَةُ الله ِ عَلَی الْكٰفِرِیْنَ.

 And these people say, Our hearts are covered.  never;  Rather, Allah has cursed them because of their disbelief.  This is why they believe so little.

b.  hiding the truth

 Allah says:

 اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ يَكْتُمُوْنَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَیِّنٰتِ وَ الْحُدی مِنْۢ بَعدِ مَا بَیَّنّهُ لِلنَّاِ فِي الْكِتٰبِ والٰٰىِٕكَ يَلْعَنُهُمُ God and God.

 Verily, those who conceal My revealed clear signs and guidance, even though We have made it clear to mankind in the Book, Allah curses them and curses other cursers.  - Surah Baqarah (2): 159

 c.  Perverting the Torah and mocking and mocking the Deen of Allah

 Allah says:

 مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ هَادُوْا يُحَرِّفُوْنَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَّوَاضِعِهٖ وَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ سَمِعْنَا وَ عَصَیْنَا وَ اسَمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٍ وَّ رَعاِنَا لَي ًًۢا بِاَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَ طَعْنًا فِی الدِّیْنِ وَ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَ اَطَعْنَا وَ اسْعْ وَ انْظُرْنَا لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ وَ اَقْوَم َ وَ لٰكِنْ لَّعَنَهُمُ اللهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا.

 Among the Jews (there are some) who remove the words (of the Torah) from their proper place and bend their tongues and blaspheme the Deen, saying, 'Sami'na and 'Asayna' and 'Isma' and 'Gaira Musmain' and 'Raina' or they  If they had said 'Sami'na wa Ata'na and Wasma' Wanjurna', that would have been the best and correct approach for them.  In fact, Allah has cursed them because of their disbelief.  So they will not believe except a few.  - Surah Nisa (4): 46

D.   the promise made with Allah

 Allah says:

 فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِّیْثَاقَهُمْ لَعَنّهُمْ وَ جَعَلْنَا قُلُوْبَهُمْ قٰسِیَةً ۚ يُحَرِّفُوْنَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَّوَاضِعِهٖ وَ نَسُوْا حَظِّا مِّمَّ ا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖ وَ لَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلٰی خَآىِٕنَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّنْهُمْ فَعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَ اصْفَحْ ؕ اِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِ نِيْنَ

 Then because of their breach of promise, I drive them away from My mercy and harden their hearts.  They put words out of their proper place and forget a large part of what they were advised.  (Hereafter) you will know of all but a few of them some breath of treachery.  So (now) forgive them and pass them by.  Surely Allah loves those who do good.  - Surah Mayida (5): 13

 e.  Killing the Prophets

 Allah says:

 فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِّیْثَاقَهُمْ وَ كُفْرِهِمْ بِاٰیٰتِ اللهِ وَ قَتْلِهِمُ الْاَنْۢبِيَآءَ بِغَیْرِ حَقٍّ وَّ قَوْلِهِمْ قُلُوْبُنَا غُلْفٌ بَلْ طَ By God

 Then (I cursed them) because of their breaking their promise, denying the verses of Allah, killing the Prophets unjustly, and saying, 'A veil has been placed over our hearts'.  But the fact is, Allah sealed their hearts because of their disbelief.  That is why they do not believe (in most things) except a few things.  - Surah Nisa (4): 155
