Surah Yûnus for kids content
WORDS OF WISDOM
- •
Like 18:45, verse 10:24 compares the life of this world (dunya) to water.
According to Imam Al-Qurtubi, maybe this is because:
- •
1.
Water keeps changing from one condition to another—gas, liquid, and solid.
The same is true for dunya—a person may be healthy today but sick tomorrow, rich today but poor tomorrow, and so on.
- •
2.
Over time, water goes away either by evaporating or sinking into the ground.
The same is true for our health and good looks, which fade away over the years.
- •
3.
Just like those who jump into water get wet, those who jump into dunya cannot be safe from its tests.
- •
4.
A person survives if they drink the right amount of water.
Too much water may cause people to drown.
In the same way, if someone takes only what they need from this dunya, they will survive.
But those who drown in its pleasures and forget about the Next Life will be doomed.
SIDE STORY
- •
Life is very short and full of tests.
Bad things happen without even expecting them.
- •
For example, Hamzah was a healthy, wealthy man who was married with 2 kids.
One day, he came back from work, had dinner, then went to bed.
SubhanAllah, when his family tried to wake him up in the morning, he woke up just fine, had breakfast, got dressed, and went to work.
- •
Then in the evening he came back, had dinner, then went to bed.
SubhanAllah, when they tried to wake him up in the morning, he woke up refreshed, had breakfast, got dressed, and went to work.
Everything went well until one day 30 years later, Hamzah came back from work, had dinner, then went to bed and, subhanAllah, when they tried to wake him
up in the morning, he woke up feeling great, had breakfast, got dressed, and went to work.
He is still very healthy and lives a comfortable life.
- •
Now, some of you will ask, "Wait a minute!
Where is the problem?
Hamzah seems to live a normal life and everything is going very well.
"
- •
The problem is that Hamzah does only three things his whole life: work, eat, and sleep.
He doesn't pray salah, pay zakah, or fast.
He doesn't realize that life is very short.
Every day brings him closer to the end, but he is not ready to die.
When he moves on to the Next Life, he will only take his good deeds with him and leave the rest behind.
THIS SHORT LIFE
24This life is just like rain We send down from the sky.
producing a mix of plants from which humans and animals eat.
Then just as the earth is blooming and looking its best, and its people think they have full control Over it, Our command comes upon it by night
or by day, so We mow it down as if it never existed yesterday!
This is how We make the signs clear for people who reflect.
إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخۡتَلَطَ بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِمَّا يَأۡكُلُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمُ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زُخۡرُفَهَا وَٱزَّيَّنَتۡ وَظَنَّ أَهۡلُهَآ أَنَّهُمۡ قَٰدِرُونَ عَلَيۡهَآ أَتَىٰهَآ أَمۡرُنَا لَيۡلًا أَوۡ نَهَارٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهَا حَصِيدٗا كَأَن لَّمۡ تَغۡنَ بِٱلۡأَمۡسِۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ24
INVITATION TO PARADISE
25Allah invites all' to the Home of Peace and guides whoever He wants to the Straight Path.
26Those who do good will have the best reward and 'even' more?
Their faces will never be covered with misery or shame.
Those will be the people of Jannah.
They will be there forever.
وَٱللَّهُ يَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ دَارِ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ25
لِّلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٞۖ وَلَا يَرۡهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمۡ قَتَرٞوَلَا ذِلَّةٌۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ26
WARNING AGAINST HELL
27As for those who do evil, every misdeed will be paid back as one.
Shame will be all over them, with no one to protect them from Allah, as if their faces were covered with layers of the night's deep darkness.
Those will be the people of the Fire.
They will be there forever.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَسَبُواْ ٱلسَّئَِّاتِ جَزَآءُ سَيِّئَةِۢ بِمِثۡلِهَا وَتَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةٞۖ مَّا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ عَاصِمٖۖ كَأَنَّمَآ أُغۡشِيَتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ قِطَعٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مُظۡلِمًاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ27
IDOLS AND THEIR WORSHIPPERS
28Watch for' the Day We will gather them all together, then say to those who made idols equal to Allah, "Stay in your placesyou and your false gods.
" We will separate them from each other, and their false gods will say, "We had nothing to do with your worship!
"
29Allah is enough as a Witness between both of us that we were not even aware of your worship.
30Then and there every soul will face the consequences of what it had done, as they are returned to Allah-their True Master.
And whatever 'gods' they made up will fail them.
وَيَوۡمَ نَحۡشُرُهُمۡ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ مَكَانَكُمۡ أَنتُمۡ وَشُرَكَآؤُكُمۡۚ فَزَيَّلۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمۡۖ وَقَالَ شُرَكَآؤُهُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ إِيَّانَا تَعۡبُدُونَ28
فَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدَۢا بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ إِن كُنَّا عَنۡ عِبَادَتِكُمۡ لَغَٰفِلِينَ29
هُنَالِكَ تَبۡلُواْ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّآ أَسۡلَفَتۡۚ وَرُدُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَوۡلَىٰهُمُ ٱلۡحَقِّۖ وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ30
QUESTIONS TO IDOL-WORSHIPPERS: 1) WHO PROVIDES?
31Ask 'them, O Prophet', 'Who provides for you from heaven and earth?
Who owns 'your' hearing and sight?
Who brings the living out of the dead and the dead out of the living?
And who manages everything?
' They will say, 'Allah.
' Say, 'Will you not then keep Him in mind?
'
32That is Allahyour True Lord.
So what is beyond the truth except falsehood?
How can you then be turned away 'from the truth?
'
33And so your Lord's decision has come true against the wicked-that they will never believe.
قُلۡ مَن يَرۡزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمَّن يَمۡلِكُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَمَن يُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَيَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ وَيُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَيِّ وَمَن يُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَۚ فَسَيَقُولُونَ ٱللَّهُۚ فَقُلۡ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ31
فَذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَاذَا بَعۡدَ ٱلۡحَقِّ إِلَّا ٱلضَّلَٰلُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصۡرَفُونَ32
كَذَٰلِكَ حَقَّتۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ33
2) WHO CREATES?
34Ask them, O Prophet', 'Can any of your false gods start the creation and then bring it back to life after death?
' Say, 'Only Allah starts the creation and then brings it back to life.
How can you then be distracted 'from the truth?
'
قُلۡ هَلۡ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَبۡدَؤُاْ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يَبۡدَؤُاْ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ34
3) WHO GUIDES?
35Ask'them, O Prophet', "Can any of your false gods guide to the truth?
" Say, "Only' Allah guides to the truth.
Who then deserves to be followed: the One Who guides to the truth or those who cannot find the way but are carried along?
So what is wrong with you?
How can you be so unfair?
"
36Most of them follow nothing but 'old' assumptions.
Surely assumptions can in no way replace the truth.
Indeed, Allah fully knows what they do.
قُلۡ هَلۡ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَهۡدِيٓ إِلَى ٱلۡحَقِّۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يَهۡدِي لِلۡحَقِّۗ أَفَمَن يَهۡدِيٓ إِلَى ٱلۡحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَن يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّن لَّا يَهِدِّيٓ إِلَّآ أَن يُهۡدَىٰۖ فَمَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ35
وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ إِلَّا ظَنًّاۚ إِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَيًۡٔاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا يَفۡعَلُونَ36
THE CHALLENGE OF THE QURAN
37It is not possible' for this Quran to have been produced by anyone other than Allah.
In fact, it is a confirmation of what came before, and an explanation of the message.
It is, without a doubt, from the Lord of the universe.
38Or do they claim, "He made it up!
"?
Tell them "O Prophet', "Make one surah like it then, and get help from whoever you can, other than Allah, if what you say is true!
"
39In fact, they quickly' rejected the Book even without understanding it and before its warnings came true.
Those before them also kept denying 'the truth'.
See then what was the end of those doing wrong!
وَمَا كَانَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ أَن يُفۡتَرَىٰ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِن تَصۡدِيقَ ٱلَّذِي بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَتَفۡصِيلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ37
أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُۖ قُلۡ فَأۡتُواْ بِسُورَةٖ مِّثۡلِهِۦ وَٱدۡعُواْ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ38
بَلۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِمَا لَمۡ يُحِيطُواْ بِعِلۡمِهِۦ وَلَمَّا يَأۡتِهِمۡ تَأۡوِيلُهُۥۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۖ فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ39
ALLAH IS THE GUIDE
40Some of them will 'eventually' be-lieve in it; others will not.
And your Lord knows the corruptors best.
41If they deny you 'O Prophet', then say, "My deeds are mine, and your deeds are yours.
You are free of what I do, and I am free of what you do!
"
42Some of them listen to what you say, but can you make the deaf hear even though they refuse to understand?
43And some of them look at you, but can you guide the blind even though they refuse to see?
44Surely, Allah does not wrong people in any way, but it is people who wrong themselves.
وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يُؤۡمِنُ بِهِۦ وَمِنۡهُم مَّن لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِهِۦۚ وَرَبُّكَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ40
وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّي عَمَلِي وَلَكُمۡ عَمَلُكُمۡۖ أَنتُم بَرِيُٓٔونَ مِمَّآ أَعۡمَلُ وَأَنَا۠ بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ41
وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَسۡتَمِعُونَ إِلَيۡكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُسۡمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ وَلَوۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ42
وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَنظُرُ إِلَيۡكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تَهۡدِي ٱلۡعُمۡيَ وَلَوۡ كَانُواْ لَا يُبۡصِرُونَ43
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظۡلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَيۡٔٗا وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ44
SIDE STORY
- •
Many years ago, 3 friends came to New York City.
They decided to stay in a hotel during their visit.
They ended up in a room on the 60th floor.
The policy of the hotel was that every night after 12:00 a.
m.
the elevators shut down for security reasons.
On the next day, the 3 friends rented a car and went out to explore the city.
They enjoyed movies, restaurants, and other things throughout the whole day.
At one point, they remembered that they had to get back to the hotel before 12:00 a.
m.
However, by the time they arrived, it was already after midnight.
Sure enough, the elevators were shut down.
There was no other way to get back to their room but to take the stairs all the way to the 60th floor.
- •
Suddenly, one of them got an idea.
He said, "For the first 20 floors, I will tell a funny story to keep us entertained.
Then another one of us could tell us a serious story for the next 20 floors.
Then, we will cover the other 20 floors with a sad story, just for a change.
"
- •
So the first friend started with the funny joke.
With laughs and joy, they reached the 20th floor.
The second friend told them a serious story.
Then it was the turn of the third friend to tell them a sad story.
He put his hands in his pocket and started by saying, "My sad story is that I forgot the room key in the car.
"
- •
This story sounds like our life cycle.
We spend the first 20 years of our life joking and having fun.
Then, in the next 20 years, we get busy with work and our own lives.
Then, in the next 20 years, we start to see some grey hair and realize that life is short and that we have missed out on a lot
of important things, especially when it comes to our relationship with Allah.
- •
It is important to understand early on that life is very short and we should do as much as we can in the little time we have.
Otherwise, we will regret it in the Next Life.
LIFE IS VERY SHORT
45On the Day He will gather them, it will be as if they had not stayed 'in the world' except for an hour of a day, only getting
to know each other.
Those who denied the meeting with Allah were certainly lost, and were not 'rightly' guided!
وَيَوۡمَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ كَأَن لَّمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا سَاعَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ قَدۡ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهۡتَدِينَ45
WARNING BEFORE JUDGMENT
46Whether We show you 'O Prophet' some of what We threaten them with or cause you to die 'before that', to Us is their return, and Allah is
a Witness over what they do.
47Every community had a messenger.
When their messenger comes 'as a witness in the Next Life', judgment will be passed on them in all fairness.
None will be treated unfairly.
وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي نَعِدُهُمۡ أَوۡ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيۡنَا مَرۡجِعُهُمۡ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفۡعَلُونَ46
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٖ رَّسُولٞۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمۡ قُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ47
WHEN THE TIME COMES
48They ask 'the believers', 'When will this threat happen if what you say is true?
'
49Say, 'O Prophet,' 'I have no power to protect or benefit myself, except by Allah's permission.
' Every community has a set time.
Once their time is over, they cannot delay it for a moment or speed it up.
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ48
قُل لَّآ أَمۡلِكُ لِنَفۡسِي ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعًا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌۚ إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَٔۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةٗ وَلَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ49
ALLAH'S PUNISHMENT
50Tell them 'O Prophet', 'Imagine if His punishment came upon you by night or day--do the wicked realize what they are really asking Him to speed up?
'
51Will you believe in it only after it hits you?
Now 'you believe'?
But you always wanted to speed it up!
'
52Then those doing wrong will be told, 'Taste the punishment of eternity!
Is this not what you deserve for your deeds?
'
قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِنۡ أَتَىٰكُمۡ عَذَابُهُۥ بَيَٰتًا أَوۡ نَهَارٗا مَّاذَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُ مِنۡهُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ50
أَثُمَّ إِذَا مَا وَقَعَ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦٓۚ ءَآلۡـَٰٔنَ وَقَدۡ كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ51
ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ هَلۡ تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡسِبُونَ52
ALLAH'S PROMISE
53They ask you 'O Prophet', 'Is this true?
' Say, 'Yes, by my Lord!
It is definitely true!
And you will have no escape'
54If every evil person had everything in the world, they would surely offer it to save themselves.
They will hide 'their' regret when they see the punishment.
And they will be judged in all fairness.
None will be treated unfairly.
55In fact.
everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah.
Surely Allah's promise is 'always' true, but most of them do not know.
56He 'is the One Who' gives life and causes death, and you will all be returned to Him.
وَيَسۡتَنۢبُِٔونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَۖ قُلۡ إِي وَرَبِّيٓ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞۖ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ53
٥٣ وَلَوۡ أَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَفۡسٖ ظَلَمَتۡ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَٱفۡتَدَتۡ بِهِۦۗ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَۖ وَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ54
أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ55
هُوَ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ56
EXCELLENCE OF THE QURAN
57O humanity!
Certainly, there has come to you a warning from your Lord, a cure for what is in the hearts-a guide and a mercy for the believers.
58Say, "O Prophet," "It is Allah's blessings and mercy that they should celebrate.
That is far better than whatever 'wealth' they collect"
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدۡ جَآءَتۡكُم مَّوۡعِظَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَشِفَآءٞ لِّمَا فِي ٱلصُّدُورِ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٞ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ57
قُلۡ بِفَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِرَحۡمَتِهِۦ فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَفۡرَحُواْ هُوَ خَيۡرٞ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُونَ58
ALLAH'S RESOURCES
59Ask 'the idol-worshippers, O Prophet', 'Have you seen the resources that Allah has sent down for you, yet you allowed some and banned others?
' Say, 'Did Allah give you permission to do that', or are you just making up lies about Allah?
'
60What do those who make up lies about Allah expect on Judgment Day?
Surely Allah is always generous to humanity, but most of them are ungrateful.
قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُم مِّن رِّزۡقٖ فَجَعَلۡتُم مِّنۡهُ حَرَامٗا وَحَلَٰلٗا قُلۡ ءَآللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكُمۡۖ أَمۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَفۡتَرُونَ59
وَمَا ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡكُرُونَ60
ALLAH'S KNOWLEDGE
61There is no activity you may be involved in 'O Prophet' or part of the Quran you may be reciting, or anything you 'all' may be doing without
Us seeing you as you do it.
Not 'even' an atom's weight is hidden from your Lord on earth or in heaven-or anything smaller or bigger than that without being written' in a perfect Book.
وَمَا تَكُونُ فِي شَأۡنٖ وَمَا تَتۡلُواْ مِنۡهُ مِن قُرۡءَانٖ وَلَا تَعۡمَلُونَ مِنۡ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا كُنَّا عَلَيۡكُمۡ شُهُودًا إِذۡ تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِۚ وَمَا يَعۡزُبُ عَن رَّبِّكَ مِن مِّثۡقَالِ ذَرَّةٖ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَآ أَصۡغَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكۡبَرَ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبٖ مُّبِينٍ61
ALLAH'S FAITHFUL SERVANTS
62There will certainly be no fear for the faithful servants of Allah, and they will never be sad.
63They are' those who have faith and keep Him in mind.
64There is good news for them in this life and the Next Life.
There is no change in the promise of Allah.
That is 'truly' the biggest success.
أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ62
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَكَانُواْ يَتَّقُونَ63
لَهُمُ ٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَفِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ لَا تَبۡدِيلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ64
ADVICE ABOUT THE DENIERS
65Do not let their words bother you 'O Prophet'.
Surely all honour and power belongs to Allah.
He hears and knows 'everything'.
66In fact, everyone in the heavens and everyone on earth belong to Allah.
And what do those who make others equal to Allah really follow?
They follow nothing but 'old' assumptions and do nothing but lie.
67He is the One Who has made the night for you to rest in and the day bright.
Surely in this are signs for people who listen.
وَلَا يَحۡزُنكَ قَوۡلُهُمۡۘ إِنَّ ٱلۡعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًاۚ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ65
أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ شُرَكَآءَۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا يَخۡرُصُونَ66
هُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِتَسۡكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبۡصِرًاۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَسۡمَعُونَ67
WORDS OF WISDOM

The Quran always warns those who claim that Allah has children.
As Muslims, we believe that Allah doesn't have any sons or daughters.
Many people believe it's important for them to have children so they would support or take care of them in their old age or carry their names after
they die.
Does Allah need any of that?
Of course not.
He is the Powerful and Eternal Lord, Who has authority over everything in the universe.
We are all in need of Him, but He does not need any of us.
Whether we existed or not, this would not affect Him in any way.
Part 2 study note
This is part 2 of the children's lesson for Surah Yûnus.
It continues from the previous section with new verses, examples, and short review points for young learners.
If this is your first time studying the lesson, start with part 1 and then return here so the story, meaning, and practice sequence stay clear.
How to study Surah Yûnus with children
Use this children's lesson as a guided path: read the short explanation, look at the Arabic verse, listen to related recitation, and return to the full surah when
your child is ready for more detail.
Parents can review one section at a time, ask the child to repeat the main idea, and then continue with the next part or a nearby surah.
This keeps the lesson connected with Quran reading, audio, and daily practice.
