Surah zariyat ayat 11 Tafsir Quran 51:11

﴿الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ﴾
[ الذاريات: 11]

51:11 Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.

who are in a stupor in ignorance that has stupefied them heedless oblivious of the matter of the Hereafter.

Who are sunk in pleasure with brains swimming with the thought of disbelief, immersed in strong delusion that they should believe a lie and disbelieve the truth

Which was revealed in Makkah بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Affirming the News of the Resurrection The Commander of the faithful, `Ali bin Abi Talib may Allah be pleased with him, ascended the Minbar in Kufah and declared, "Any Ayah in the Book of Allah the Exalted and any Sunnah from Allah's Messenger ﷺ you ask me about today, I will explain them." Ibn Al-Kawwa stood up and said, "O Leader of the faithful! What is the meaning of Allah's statement, وَالذَرِيَـتِ ذَرْواً ( By the scattering Dhariyat )," and `Ali said, "The wind." The man asked, فَالْحَـمِلَـتِ وِقْراً "( And the laden Hamilat )" `Ali said, "The clouds." The man again asked, فَالْجَـرِيَـتِ يُسْراً "( And the steady Jariyat )" `Ali said, "The ships." The man asked, فَالْمُقَسِّمَـتِ أَمْراً "( And the distributors of command )" `Ali said, it refers to "The angels." Some scholars said that Al-Jariyat Yusra refers to the stars that float in their orbits with ease.
This would mean that the things mentioned were ascendant in their order, beginning with the lower, then mentioning the higher one after that, etc.
The winds bring the clouds, the stars are above them and the angels who distribute by Allah's order are above that, and they descend with Allah's legislative orders and the decrees He determines.
These Ayat contain a vow from Allah that Resurrection shall come to pass.
Allah's statement, إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَـدِقٌ ( Verily, that which you are promised is surely true. ), it is a truthful promise, وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ ( And verily, Ad-Din ) the Recompense, لَوَاقِعٌ ( will occur ), it will surely come to pass.
Then Allah the Exalted said, وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ ( By the heaven full of Hubuk, ) Ibn `Abbas said; "Full of beauty, grace, magnificence and perfection." Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Abu Malik, Abu Salih, As-Suddi, Qatadah, `Atiyah Al-`Awfi, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas and others said similarly.
Ad-Dahhak, Al-Minhal bin `Amr and others said, "The meandering of the water, sand and plants when the wind passes over them; carving paths out of them, that is the Hubuk." All of these sayings return to the same meaning, that of beauty and complexity.
The sky is high above us, clear yet thick, firmly structured, spacious and graceful, beautified with stars such as the sun and orbiting planets such as the moon and the planets of the solar system. The Differing Claims of the Idolators Allah the Exalted said, إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ ( Certainly, you have different ideas. ) Allah says, `you disbelievers who deny the Messengers have different and confused opinions that do not connect or conform to each other.' Qatadah commented on the Ayah, "You have different ideas about the Qur'an.
Some of you agree that it is true while some others deny this fact." Allah said, يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ ( Turned aside therefrom is he who is turned aside. ) Allah says, these confused and different opinions only fool those who are inwardly misguided.
Surely, such falsehood is accepted, embraced and it becomes the source of confusion only for those who are misguided and originally liars, the fools who have no sound comprehension, as Allah said, فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ - مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـتِنِينَ - إِلاَّ مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ ( So, verily you and those whom you worship cannot lead astray, except those who are predetermined to burn in Hell! )( 37:161-163 ) Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, and As-Suddi said: يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ ( Turned aside therefrom is he who is turned aside. ) "He who is misguided is led astray from it.
" Allah said; قُتِلَ الْخَرَصُونَ ( Cursed be Al-Kharrasun ), Mujahid said; "The liars.
This is similar to what is mentioned in ( Surah ) `Abasa: قُتِلَ الإِنسَـنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُ ( Be cursed man! How ungrateful he is! )( 80:17 ) Al-Kharrasun are those who claim that they will never be brought back to life, doubting the coming of Resurrection." `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas; قُتِلَ الْخَرَصُونَ ( Cursed be Al-Kharrasun ), "Cursed be the doubters." Mu`adh said similarly, may Allah be pleased with him.
During one of his speeches he said, "Destroyed be the doubters." Qatadah said, "Al-Kharrasun are the people of doubt and suspicion." Allah said; الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍ سَـهُونَ ( Who are under a cover of Sahun, ) Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, and others said; "In disbelief and doubt, they are heedless and playful." Allah said, يَسْـَلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّينِ ( They ask: "When will be the Day of Ad-Din" ) They utter this statement in denial, stubbornness, doubt and suspicion.
Allah the Exalted replied, يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ ( (It will be ) a Day when they will be Yuftanun in the Fire!) Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Al-Hasan and several others said that Yuftanun means punished.
Mujahid said: "Just as gold is forged in the fire." A group of others also including Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Ibrahim An-Nakha`i, Zayd bin Aslam, and Sufyan Ath-Thawri said, "They will be burnt." ذُوقُواْ فِتْنَتَكُمْ ( Taste you your trial! ), Mujahid said, "Your burning" while others said, "Your punishment." هَـذَا الَّذِى كُنتُمْ بِهِ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ( This is what you used to ask to be hastened! ) This will be said admonishing, chastising, humiliating and belittling them.
Allah knows best. إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَـهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ كَانُواْ قَلِيلاً مِّن الَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ وَبِالاٌّسْحَـرِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ

(51:11) who are steeped in ignorance and heedlessness. *9

Who are within a flood [of confusion] meaning

*9) That is, "They do not know what fate they are heading for on account of their wrong conjectures, whereas every way that is adopted with a wrong view of the Hereafter only leads to ruin.
He who is a denier of the Hereafter is not at all preparing himself for any accountability and is engrossed in the thought that there would be no life after death, whereas the time would suddenly come when against alI this expectations he would open his eyes in the new life and he would realize that there he has to render an account of each of his acts and deeds.
The person who is expending his life under the idea that he would come back to this very world after death, will come to know as soon as he dies that aII doors of return are closed, that there is no chance of compensating for the misdeeds of the previous life by any new actions, and that there is another life ahead in which he has to meet with and suffer the consequences of his worldly life for ever after.
The person who commits suicide in the hope that after he has destroyed his self and its desires he would escape the agony of life in the form of total annihilation, will find as soon as he passes through the gate of death that there is an everlasting life ahead and not mortality, where he has to explain as to why he had been straining every nerve to destroy the self that he had been blessed with instead of developing and adorning it in every possible way.
Likewise, the one who continued committing disobedience of Allah throughout life, placing, reliance upon some son of Allah's becoming an atonement or some holy one's becoming an intercessor, will come to know as soon as he appears before Allah that there is neither any atoner there nor anyone wielding such influence and power that he may save him from Allah's grasp and punishment by means of his own power and influence.
Thus, all these conjectural creeds are, in fact, an opiate under the intoxication of which these people are Lying senseless, and do not know where they are being misled by the ignorance which they have adopted by rejecting the true knowledge given by God and His Prophets.

( Who are careless ) oblivious to believing in Muhammad ( pbuh ) and the Qur’an ( in an abyss! ) in ignorance and blindness concerning the Hereafter.

Who are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter),
