Quran 27:76~81 (Ayah an-Naml)
Indeed, this Quran clarifies for the Children of Israel most of what they differ over. And it is truly a guide and mercy for the believers. Your Lord will certainly judge between them by His justice, for He is the Almighty, All-Knowing. So put your trust in Allah, for you are surely upon the ˹Path of˺ clear truth. You certainly cannot make the dead hear ˹the truth˺. Nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and walk away. Nor can you lead the blind out of their misguidance. You can make none hear ˹the truth˺ except those who believe in Our revelations, ˹fully˺ submitting ˹to Allah˺. Quran 27:76~81
Surah Naml is named after ‘the Ant’ mentioned in (27:18).
This is the only mention of ‘the Ant’ in the whole of the Qur’an.
There are 93 Ayat in this Surah.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ یَقُصُّ عَلَىٰ بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلَّذِی هُمۡ فِیهِ یَخۡتَلِفُونَ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَهُدࣰى وَرَحۡمَةࣱ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ یَقۡضِی بَیۡنَهُم بِحُكۡمِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ فَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَى ٱلۡحَقِّ ٱلۡمُبِینِ إِنَّكَ لَا تُسۡمِعُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَلَا تُسۡمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ ٱلدُّعَاۤءَ إِذَا وَلَّوۡا۟ مُدۡبِرِینَ وَمَاۤ أَنتَ بِهَـٰدِی ٱلۡعُمۡیِ عَن ضَلَـٰلَتِهِمۡۖ إِن تُسۡمِعُ إِلَّا مَن یُؤۡمِنُ بِءَایَـٰتِنَا فَهُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ
The theme of the Surah is divine guidance in history.
Allah sent His Prophets to different people. Some accepted them and were guided,
while others denied them and they saw the consequences of their denial.
The Surah also contrasts between the principles of Tawhid and shirk.
بےشک یہ قرآن بنی اسرائیل کے سامنے اکثر باتیں جن میں وہ اختلاف کرتے ہیں، بیان کر دیتا ہے اور بےشک یہ مومنوں کے لئے ہدایات اور رحمت ہے تمہارا پروردگار (قیامت کے روز) اُن میں اپنے حکم سے فیصلہ کر دے گا اور وہ غالب (اور) علم والا ہے تو خدا پر بھروسہ رکھو تم تو حق صریح پر ہو کچھ شک نہیں کہ تم مردوں کو (بات) نہیں سنا سکتے اور نہ بہروں کو جب کہ وہ پیٹھ پھیر کر پھر جائیں آواز سنا سکتے ہو اور نہ اندھوں کو گمراہی سے (نکال کر) رستہ دیکھا سکتے ہو۔ تم ان ہی کو سنا سکتے ہو جو ہماری آیتوں پر ایمان لاتے ہیں اور وہ فرمانبردار ہو جاتے ہیں
