Reward of Wickedness
100. These are accounts, We relate to you O Prophet, of the destroyed cities. Some are still standing barren, while others have been mowed down.
101. We did not wrong them, rather they wronged themselves. The gods they invoked besides God were of no help at all when the command of your Lord came, and only contributed in their ruin.
102. Such is the 'crushing' grip of your Lord when He seizes the societies entrenched in wrongdoing. Indeed, His grip is terribly painful and severe.

Judgment Day
103. Surely in this is a sign for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which humanity will be gathered and a Day that will be witnessed by all.
104. We only delay it for a fixed term.
105. When that Day arrives, no one will dare speak except with His permission. Some of them will be miserable, others joyful.
The Miserable
106. As for those bound for misery, they will be in the Fire, where they will be sighing and gasping,
107. staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills.* Surely your Lord does what He intends. * Sinful believers will eventually be removed from Hell after receiving their punishment. (edited)

108. And as for those destined to joy, they will be in Paradise, staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills*—a ˹generous˺ giving, without end. * Except the time they spend on earth and in the grave, or except the time the sinful believers spend in Hell before being transferred to Paradise.

Blind Following
109. So do not be in doubt O Prophet about what those pagans worship. They worship nothing except what their forefathers worshipped before them. And We will certainly give them their share of punishment in full, without any reduction.
The Torah
110. Indeed, We had given Moses the Scripture, but differences arose regarding it. Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord*, their differences would have been settled at once. They are truly in alarming doubt about it. * That he will delay their judgment until the Hereafter.
111. And surely your Lord will fully pay for all their deeds. He is certainly All-Aware of what they do.
Advice to the Believers
112. So be steadfast as you are commanded O Prophet, along with those who turn in submission to God with you. And do not transgress. Surely He is All-Seeing of what you believers do.
113. And do not be inclined to the wrongdoers or you will be touched by the Fire. For then you would have no protectors except God, nor would you be helped.
114. Establish prayer O Prophet at both ends of the day and in the early part of the night.* Surely good deeds wipe out evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful. * This verse talks about the five daily prayers. The prayers at the two ends of the day are the dawn prayer (Fajr) at one end and the afternoon prayers (Zuhr and `Asr) at the other. Prayers in the early part of the night include the sunset (Maghrib) and late evening (`Isha) prayers.
115. And be patient! Certainly God does not discount the reward of the good-doers.
Speaking out Against Evil
116. If only there had been among the destroyed peoples before you, O believers, virtuous individuals who forbade corruption in the land - other than the few We had saved from the torment. But the wrongdoers only pursued their worldly pleasures, becoming wicked.
117. And your Lord O Prophet would never destroy a society unjustly while its people were acting rightly.
Free Choice
118. Had your Lord so willed, He would have certainly made humanity one single community of believers, but they will always choose to differ -
119. except those shown mercy by your Lord - and so He created them to choose freely. And so the Word of the Lord will be fulfilled: "I will surely fill up Hell with jinn and humans all together."
Moral of the Stories
120. And We relate to your O Prophet the stories of the messengers to reassure your heart. And there has come to you in this chapter the truth, a warning to the disbelievers, and a reminder to the believers.
121. Say to those who disbelieve, "Persist in your ways; we will certainly persist in ours.
122. And wait! Surely we 'too' are waiting."
God Almighty (edited)
123. To God alone belongs the knowledge of what is hidden in the heavens and the earth. And to Him all matters are returned. So worship Him and put your trust in Him. And your Lord is never unaware of what you do.

12. Joseph (Yusuf)
Rightfully called the best of stories, this uplifting Meccan chapter was revealed along with the two previous chapters at a critical time in the life of the Prophet following the death of his wife Khadijah and his uncle Abu Talib, his two main supporters, shortly after a 3-year boycott by the Meccan pagans to suppress the believers.
This is the story of Joseph whose half-brothers were driven by jealousy, conspiring to distance him from his father Jacob.
Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt, falsely accused, and imprisoned for several years, only to become Egypt's Chief Minister.
Just like Joseph, the Prophet had to live away from his hometown, was faced with false allegations and abused by his own people, but ultimately became Arabia's undisputed leader.
When the Prophet triumphed over Mecca after many years of persecution, he treated the very people who abused him with grace, recalling the words of Joseph when his brothers begged for mercy in verse 92, "There is no blame on you today. May God forgive you! He is the Most Merciful of the merciful!"
In the Name of God - the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
The Best of Stories
1. Alif-Lam-Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book.
2. Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran* so that you may understand.** * Quran literally means recitation. ** The address here is to the Arabs and, by extension, all of humanity.
3. We relate to you O Prophet the best of stories through Our revelation of this Quran, though before this you were totally unaware of them.

I can't figure out how scholars could get "masturbation is haram" out of this
Avatar
Nooraana 15-Aug-21 12:12 PM
Ohhhh that’s what you meant
Recent studies have shown that masturbation is healthy. If there are so many advantages to masturbation, why is it haram in Islam?
It’s a pretty nuanced answer but basically, the ruling doesn’t come from this verse
The tl;dr is that it can do a lot of damage but sometimes it’s the lesser of 2 evils

i'm in a fascinating paradox because without Islam I am a scrawny depressed sick unattractive lazy incel
Islam improves me enough that i could actually be attractive to girls one day, which is totally foreign to me, having spent my whole life as an atheist mentally-sick loser
But I can't just start engaging in zina when that happens, or I would be losing the gift that God gave me
.
The believers are only attractive when pious, and become ugly when rebellious

Masturbation is in no way shape or form healthy, this message is coming from someone who's done the research and taken several board certified doctors' opinions

Say, ‘[God says], My servants who have harmed yourselves by your own excess, do not despair of God’s mercy. God forgives all sins: He is truly the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: Sahl ibn AbuUmamah said that he and his father (AbuUmamah) visited Anas ibn Malik at Medina during the time (rule) of Umar ibn AbdulAziz when he (Anas ibn Malik) was the governor of Medina. He was praying a very short prayer as if it were the prayer of a traveller or near it. When he gave a greeting, my father said: May Allah have mercy on you! Tell me about this prayer: Is it obligatory or supererogatory? He said: It is obligatory; it is the prayer performed by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I did not make a mistake except in one thing that I forgot. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: Do not be severe upon yourselves, lest the matter be made severe upon you. Verily, if people are severe upon themselves, Allah will be severe upon them. Their remnants are in monasteries and abbeys. (Then he quoted:) "The monasticism they innovated, we did not prescribe it upon them." (57:27) (edited)

The messenger of Allah upon whom be peace was asked what 'injustice' in this particular verse meant, and he responded "The blasphemy of having partners worshiped besides Him"

O believers! Whoever among you abandons their faith, Allah will replace them with others who love Him and are loved by Him. They will be humble with the believers but firm towards the disbelievers, struggling in the Way of Allah; fearing no blame from anyone. This is the favour of Allah. He grants it to whoever He wills. And Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing. 5:54 Dr. Mustafa Khattab's translation
