(35) Fathwir

With the name of Allah, the Impartial, the Compassionate.

(35) Fathwir

This Surath got the name Fathwir (the Originator) from the first verse where it says “Praise is to Lord, the Originator of the heavens and earth”. It was revealed in the early middle period of Messenger’s Maccan life. This Surath teaches that the Lord who originated the heaven and earth from nothingness has created Angels with two, three, and four wings or more as He intends. He who has deputed mankind to earth sent His Message Adhikr to them through the Angels. It teaches that no bearer of burden will bear the burden of others. So whoever purifies himself with Adhikr, is for himself. In fruits and cereals growing on the earth, in mountains, in livestock, and in mankind itself, there are different colors. Those who got lessons from these creations of the Lord only have Knowledge of Adhikr, and they only fear the Lord Allah. This Surath informs glad tidings to those who utilize their all favors for propagating Adhikr (the Balance and Trust to keep the universe in its equilibrium) to the entire mankind. Among those who inherited the Lord’s Book, there are wrongdoers, moderates, and forerunners to Paradise. The wrongdoing disbelievers have the fire in Hell, and they will wish to die in it, but they won’t die. When they appeal to be sent back to earth to lead a life testifying Adhikr, they will be told: Were not you given enough time to correct your life and were not you given a warning that you will say so? Whoever plots against the Truth, its consequence will turn back to him. This Surath containing 45 verses ends with a warning that if the Three Time Knower Lord has seized mankind for their earnings, there will not remain any creature on the Earth, but everything has a fixed time, and Lord Allah is ever watching His servants.
