Thank you for the darsa....i always wanted to know about the people of araaf. Most of use are guilty of passing judgement to fellow muslims (or even non muslims) when we are in this world...like the people of jahanam said the people of araaf will not get Allah's mercy. We shouldn't do that. if you see someone who is astray , say dua for them. you never know Allah may accept your dua and guide them.

[@mefdunesadik8692]

Amin i make dua for my family and friends may Allah s.w.t guide them to islam.

I had a dream I had crossed the Siraat like the speed of the wind and the guard (maybe Angel) there told me to go to Al Araf. Then i remember i said in that dream if i do more sodokah and zikir i will go to heaven. 😢

The Day of Judgement and the men on the Hill of Araf Misunderstood The word "A'raf": The word "A'raf" in Arabic does indeed carry the meaning of "high place" or "elevated ground." This relates to the description of the barrier separating Paradise and Hellfire in verses 46-47. • The word in Surah Al-A'raf: The word used in Surah Al-A'raf for the barrier is "A'raf" (derived from "aruf"). It describes the high place where the "men on the Heights" reside. • عرف (aruf): This is a less common word, but it can carry the meaning of "high place" or "elevated ground. Which might be the root of the word "A'raf" in Surah Al-A'raf. The story unfolds on the Hill of Araf, a place of observation during the Day of Judgement. Here reside some men of al-Araf, witnessing the contrasting fates of those in paradise and hellfire. The Watchers on the Hill Positioned atop the hill are a select group of men. They possess a remarkable ability to recognize everyone by their markings, signifying a divine power bestowed upon them. These markings likely represent the outward signs of one's deeds and choices in life. The Significance of Greeting and the Power of Permission The Quran emphasizes that on the Day of Judgement, no one will speak except those granted permission by Allah. In this context, the ability of these men to greet the dwellers of paradise and question those entering hellfire is particularly noteworthy. This suggests a special status - perhaps prophets sent by Allah in the past. The Hilltop of Araf: Prophetic Recognition on the Day of Judgement The Quran tells us that on the Day of Judgement, no one will speak except those granted permission by Allah (Surah Yasin, 36:56). Atop the Hill of Araf stand a group of men - the prophets of Allah, chosen messengers who hold this special permission. The Significance of Recognition and Permission to Speak The Quran emphasizes that on the Day of Judgement, speech is restricted except to those granted permission by Allah. Here, the prophets' ability to greet the dwellers of paradise and confront those entering hellfire holds immense significance. It suggests a special status - prophets chosen to serve as witnesses on this momentous day. Atop the Hill of Araf, a place of observation during the Day of Judgement, stand the prophets of Allah. These are not mere observers, but active participants, forever marked by their earthly missions and destined for paradise as promised. Prophets as Witnesses and the Power of Recognition The ability to recognize everyone by their marks aligns with the role of prophets - to guide humanity towards the righteous path. These men on the hill, then, could be prophets who serve as witnesses, attesting to the choices made by those they encounter. Their recognition by marks signifies the enduring impact of one's actions in this life, leaving an undeniable imprint. Targeted Warnings and Recognition of Rejected Messages The concept of prophets being sent to specific groups or people adds another layer to the story. Each prophet, positioned on the hilltop, remembers the people they were sent to guide in life. But a specific focus emerges - wealthy individuals who rejected the divine message, trusting instead in their material riches. By recognizing these individuals by their marks, the prophets become living testaments to the consequences of ignoring their warnings. Targeted Messages and Enduring Impact The concept of prophets being sent to specific audiences takes center stage. Each prophet remembers the people entrusted to their care during their earthly missions. They will recognize, not just any individual, but particularly those who, despite encountering the message of Allah, remained wealthy and chose a path of worldly indulgence. By recognizing these individuals by their marks, the prophets become living testaments to the enduring impact of their messages. Prophets as Recognizers: Questioning the People of Hellfire By divine decree, the prophets possess a remarkable ability. They recognize everyone by their markings - outward signs reflecting a person's deeds and choices in life. This recognition transcends the limitations of earthly memory. The prophets also confront those entering hellfire. This resonates with the Quranic verse in Surah Al-Araf which describes the dwellers of hell asking, "What good did your wealth bring you now?" The prophets, recognizing the marks of those who prioritized worldly pursuits over faith, confront them with a powerful question: Targeted Recognition: Prophets Remember Those who rejected the divine message. The story emphasizes that the prophets recognize specifically those they were sent to guide in life. Prophet Moses (Musa) will remember Pharaoh (Fir'awn), Haman, and قارون (Qarun) - all figures associated with wealth and defying divine messages. Similarly, Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) will recognize Namrud (Nimrod), another who rejected Allah's message. This targeted recognition underscores the enduring impact of the prophets' missions. A Message of Faith and Divine Justice This narrative serves as a powerful reminder: • Divine Permission and Prophetic Selection: The ability to speak on the Day of Judgement emphasizes Allah's absolute authority. The selection of prophets as recognizers suggests a specific purpose for their presence - to confirm the truth of their missions and the choices made by those they encountered. • Divine Justice: The markings and prophetic recognition represent a system of divine justice where deeds are revealed and consequences are faced. • Prophetic Witness: The prophets act as living testaments, confirming the choices made during life. • The Importance of Faith: The contrasting fates of those who prioritized faith and those who pursued wealth highlight the importance of spiritual well-being. • Divine Permission: The ability to speak on the Day of Judgement emphasizes Allah's absolute authority. • Prophetic Witness and Prophetic Reward: The prophets serve as living testaments, fulfilling their role as witnesses and undoubtedly receiving their promised reward of paradise. • The Power of Faith over Wealth: The story underscores the importance of faith and righteous living, especially in the face of worldly temptations. • The Role of Prophets: The prophets serve as witnesses, reminding everyone of the choices made during their lifetime.

When ALLAH tells Iblees in Quran 7:13 "Paradise, it is not a place for you to be arrogant HERE." Does this imply Iblees was already arrogant out and about with his mates and then tried it out on Allah?

[@Sznshi]

Jinns have free will so he most likely was arrogant
