🌳Point to be noted:

*Death--only the unrighteous die(see 2:259 Note)

.

২:২৫৮(Abraham's method in this argument is interesting).

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِي حَاجَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي رَبِّهِ أَنْ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ إِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ قَالَ أَنَا أُحْيِي وَأُمِيتُ ۖ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْتِي بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

তুমি সেইজন ব্যক্তিক দেখা নাইনে? যিয়ে ইব্ৰাহীমৰ লগত তেওঁৰ প্ৰতিপালক সম্পৰ্কে বিতৰ্কত লিপ্ত হৈছিল, যিহেতু আল্লাহে তাক ৰাজত্ব প্ৰদান কৰিছিল। যেতিয়া ইব্ৰাহীমে ক’লে, ‘মোৰ প্ৰতিপালক তেৱেঁই যিজনে জীৱন দান কৰে আৰু মৃত্যু প্ৰদান কৰে’, সি ক’লে, ‘ময়ো জীৱন দান কৰো আৰু মৃত্যু ঘটাওঁ’। ইব্ৰাহীমে ক’লে, ‘নিশ্চয় আল্লাহে সূৰ্যক পূৱৰ পৰা উদয় কৰে, তুমি ইয়াক পশ্চিমৰ পৰা উদয় কৰোৱাচোন’। ফলত কাফিৰজন বুদ্ধিহীন হৈ গ’ল; আৰু আল্লাহে যালিম সম্প্ৰদায়ক হিদায়ত নকৰে।

[2:258] Have you not (Lam') considered (Tara ilaa) the one who (Ellazii) argued with (Haajja) Abraham 

(Ib'raahiima) concerning (Fii) his LORD (Rabbi-hi) because (An') GOD (Ellahu) had given him (Aataa-hu)

sovereignty (El'Mul'ka)? When (Iz') Abraham (Ib'raahiimu) said (Qaala), "My LORD (Rabbiya) is the One 

who (Ellazii) gives life (Yuh'yii) and (Wa) causes death (Yumiitu)." He (the king) said (Qaala), "I (Ana') give life 

(Uh'yii) and cause death (Umiitu)." Abraham (Ib'raahiimu) said (Qaala), "Then (Fa) indeed, GOD (Innallaha)

brings (Ya'tii) the sun (Es'Sham'si) from (Mina) the east (El'Mash'riqi), so bring it (Fa'ti Bi-haa) from (Mina)

the west (El'Mag'ribi)." And (Fa) the one who (Ellazii) disbelieved (Kafara) was astonished (Buhita), for (Wa)

GOD (Ellahu) does not (Laa) guide (Yah'dii) the transgressing (Ez'Zoalimiin) people (El'Qaw'ma). 

.

📍Note-1

Abraham's method in this argument is interesting. He moves to another argument without being bogged down with the deceptive language used by the King in his answer to his first argument. See 13:15.

.

📍Verse/Note-2

2:258 Think of the one who adamantly argued with Abraham about his Lord because God had given him power. Abraham said to him, “My Lord is He Who gives life and causes death." He answered, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “God makes the sun rise from the East; make it rise from the West.” Thereupon the rejecter remained dumbfounded. God does not guide people who choose to do wrong.

.

Nimrod Shaddad, King of Babylon, Abraham’s contemporary and staunch enemy, used to proclaim divinity. Being a tyrant he could impose or revoke death penalty.

.

📍Verse/Note-3

258 O Jama at-ul-Momineen! you will face great difficulties in the establishment of the Divine 

Order as was the case with Abraham. The king himself was his adversary and disputed even the 

existence of Allah merely on the basis of his worldly power. Abraham told the king that he believed 

in Allah Who has control over life and death. The king said that in his kingdom he had control over 

life and death. Seeing the king s mentality, Abraham did not pursue the point but said: If you have 

supreme authority in your kingdom then you should make the sun which rises in the East in 

accordance with Allah s Law, come out from the West. The king was dumbfounded by Abraham s 

argument.

 Persons with such mentality seldom adopt the right path.

২:২৫৯(Lesson About Death).

أَوْ كَالَّذِي مَرَّ عَلَىٰ قَرْيَةٍ وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا قَالَ أَنَّىٰ يُحْيِي هَٰذِهِ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۖ فَأَمَاتَهُ اللَّهُ مِائَةَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُ ۖ قَالَ كَمْ لَبِثْتَ ۖ قَالَ لَبِثْتُ يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ ۖ قَالَ بَلْ لَبِثْتَ مِائَةَ عَامٍ فَانْظُرْ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمْ يَتَسَنَّهْ ۖ وَانْظُرْ إِلَىٰ حِمَارِكَ وَلِنَجْعَلَكَ آيَةً لِلنَّاسِ ۖ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى الْعِظَامِ كَيْفَ نُنْشِزُهَا ثُمَّ نَكْسُوهَا لَحْمًا ۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ قَالَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

অথবা সেই ব্যক্তিৰ দৰে, যিয়ে এনেকুৱা এটা জনপদ অতিক্ৰম কৰি আছিল যিটো সম্পূৰ্ণৰূপে বিধ্বস্ত হৈছিল। সি ক'লে, 'মৃত্যুৰ পিছত আকৌ কেনেকৈ আল্লাহে ইয়াক জীৱিত কৰিব'? তাৰ পিছত আল্লাহে তাক এশ বছৰ মৃত অৱস্থাত ৰাখিলে। অৱশেষত তাক পুনৰ্জীৱিত কৰিলে। আল্লাহে ক'লে, 'তুমি কিমান দিন অৱস্থান কৰিলা'? সি ক'লে, 'এদিন বা এদিনতকৈও কম সময় অৱস্থান কৰিছো'। তেওঁ ক'লে, 'বৰং তুমি এশ বছৰ অৱস্থান কৰিছা। এতেকে তুমি তোমাৰ খাদ্যসামগ্ৰী আৰু পানীয় বস্তুৰ ফালে লক্ষ্য কৰা, সেইবোৰ অবিকৃত অৱস্থাতেই আছে আৰু চোৱা, তোমাৰ গাধটোৰ পিনে, আৰু (এয়া কৰিছো) যাতে আমি তোমাক মানুহৰ বাবে নিদৰ্শন বনাব পাৰো, আৰু অস্থিসমূহৰ পিনে চোৱা! কেনেকৈ সেইবোৰ সংযোজিত কৰো আৰু মাংসপিণ্ডৰে ঢাকি দিওঁ'। তাৰ পিছত যেতিয়া তাৰ ওচৰত স্পষ্ট হ’ল তেতিয়া সি ক’লে, 'মই জানো, নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ সকলো বস্তুৰ ওপৰত ক্ষমতাৱান'।(+18:19).

[2:259] Or (Aw') like (Ka) the one who (Ellazii) passed through (Marra Ålaa) a town (Qar'yatin) while (Wa)

it (Hiya) had emptied (Khaaqiyatun) upon (Ålaa) its trellises (Uruushi-haa). He (the man) said (Qaala), "How 

(Annaa) will GOD (Ellahu) revive (Yuh'yii) this (Haazihi) after (Ba'da) its lifelessness (Maw'ti-ha)?" So (Fa)

GOD (Ellahu) caused him to die (Amaata-hu)

for a hundred (Mi'ata) years (Ååmin), then (Thumma) HE 

resurrected him (Baåtha-hu). HE (God) said (Qaala), "How long (Kam') have you lingered (Labith'ta)? He (the 

man) said (Qaala), "I have lingered (Labith'tu) for a day (Yaw'man) or (Aw') part (Ba'da) of a day (Yaw'min)." 

HE (God) said (Qaala), "In fact (Bal), you have lingered (Labith'ta)

for a hundred (Mi'ata) years (Ååmin), but (Fa)

look (Enzur') at (ilaa) your food (Toååmi-ka) and (Wa) your drink (Sharaabi-ka); it has not (Lam') stale 

(Yatasannah'), and (Wa) look at (Enzur' ilaa) your donkey (Himaari-ka) so (Wa) that (Li) We may make you 

(s) (Naj'åla-ka) a sign (miracle) (Aayatan) for the people (Lin' Naasi). So (Wa) look at (Enzur' ilaa) the bones 

(El'Ezoami) how (Kai'fa) We raise them (Nunshizu-haa) and (Thumma) cover them with (Nak'suu-ha) flesh 

(Lah'man)." And (Fa) after (Lammaa) it became clear (Tabayyana) to him (Lahu), he (the man) said (Qaala), "I 

know (A'lamu) that GOD (Annallaha) is capable of (Qadiir Ålaa) all (Kulli) things (Shai'in)."

📍Note on death:

The lesson we learn here is that the period of death--only the unrighteous die; the  righteous go straight to Heaven--passes likeone day (see 18:19 and Link attached).

📍Verse/Notes on History:

2:259 (Later on, came another king in the dynasty of Nimrods, his name, Nebuchadnezzar, 630-562 BC. He invaded Jerusalem, oppressed Israelites and enslaved them. One hundred years of tribulation passed before King Cyrus of Persia liberated them and reinstated them back in Jerusalem. This history bears a lesson for posterity.)

.

২:২৬০(Every Believer Needs Assurance).

وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيْفَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ ۖ قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ ۖ قَالَ بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِنْ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي ۖ قَالَ فَخُذْ أَرْبَعَةً مِنَ الطَّيْرِ فَصُرْهُنَّ إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِينَكَ سَعْيًا ۚ وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

আৰু যেতিয়া ইব্ৰাহীমে ক’লে, ‘হে মোৰ প্ৰতিপালক! মোক দেখুৱা তুমি কেনেকৈ মৃতক জীৱিত কৰা’, তেওঁ ক’লে, ‘তেন্তে তুমি বিশ্বাস কৰা নাই নেকি’? ইব্ৰাহীমে ক’লে, ‘নিশ্চয় কৰো, কিন্তু মোৰ মনৰ প্ৰশান্তিৰ বাবে (চাব বিচাৰো)’, আল্লাহে ক’লে, ‘তেন্তে চাৰিটা চৰাই লোৱা আৰু সেইবোৰক পোহ মনাই লোৱা। তাৰ পিছত সেইবোৰ টুকুৰা কৰি এখন এখন পাহাৰত স্থাপন কৰা। তাৰ পিছত সেইবোৰক মাতা, সেইবোৰ তোমাৰ ওচৰলৈ দৌৰি আহিব, আৰু জানি থোৱা, নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ প্ৰবল পৰাক্ৰমশালী, প্ৰজ্ঞাময়’।

.

[2:260] And (Wa) when (Iz') Abraham (Ib'raahiimu) said (Qaala), "LORD (Rabbi), show me (Arinii) how 

(Kai'fa) YOU revive (Tuh'yi) the dead (El'Maw'taa)." HE (God) said (Qaala), "Or do you not (Awalam') believe 

(Tu'min)? He (Abraham) said (Qaala), "Certainly (Balaa), but (Walaakin) it is to (Li) reassure (Yat'ma'inna) my 

heart (Qal'bii)." HE (God) said (Qaala), "Then (Fa) take (Khuz') four (Ar'baåtan) from (Mina) birds (Ettoi'ri) and 

then (Fa) grate them (Sur'hunna) before you (s) (ilai'ka), then (Thumma) place (Ej'ål') each (Kulli) portion 

(Juz'an) of them (Min'hunna) on (Ålaa) a hill (Jabalin); and then (Thumma) call them (Ed'u-hunna), they will 

come to you (Ya'tiinaka) in pursuit (Sa'yan). And (Wa) know (E'lam') that GOD (Annallaha) is Almighty 

(Åziizun) and Wise (Hakiim)."

.

📍Verse/Note:

260 Each Nabi has been confronted with the problem of giving life to a dead nation. For 

instance, Abraham faced such a problem and said to Allah: What is the process by which new life 

may be infused into a dead nation? . Allah asked him: Do you not believe that dead nations may 

receive new life? . Abraham said: I do believe but I would like to know by what process, so that I 

can undertake it with full confidence. Allah explained the process to Abraham through an example He said: Take four ntamed birds. At first they will seek to get away from you. Make them familiar 

with yourself gradually. This will bring about remarkable change in them. Even if you set them free 

and call to them, they will come to you swiftly. This is how you must patiently reform those who 

rebel against your call and bring them close to yourself and make them understand and appreciate 

the Divine System. This is how they will receive life. Most certainly Allah is All-Mighty, Wise.
