❀❀❀❀ Surat of the Chicken ❀❀❀❀
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful,
1. Faa' Qaaf
2. Verily, We created the chicken a (wonderful) creation,
3. And We boiled the eggs, a boiling,
4. And We sent with thunder, lightening
5. And We made the air fresh
6. As for he who denies our signs, We shall hang him a hanging,
7. And choke him, a choking
8.
As for he who knocks on the door of a slut, a knocking
9. Then commits in her house, a screwing
10. We shall burn him in the fire, a burning
11. Indeed our punishment it is the abiding
12. Indeed our enemy he is the most wretched.
13. For I swear by the glitter of the Dinar
14. And I swear by the braying of the Ass
15. Indeed I am Allah the Creator, the Conqueror
16. So obey me and do not be of the unbelievers
17. And fear a day when no Dirham will benefit nor will a Dollar
18. The day the unbelievers will be cast into the fire
19. And they shall not be able to bear it nor escape
20. As for those who feared their lord, they are the best
21. They shall have gardens under which run rivers
22. And crates of whiskey and dancing girls with no veil
"حدثنا ابو منديل بن خرطوم أنبأنا عطلان ابن بطلان حدثنا دمدم بن همهم عن شنيع بن شناعة عن أبي حازوقة كنت جالسا عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذ جاء نفر من اليهود )حاشاك) فسأله أعلمهم عمن سبق الاخر؟ الدجاجة ام البيضة فنزلت سورة الدجاج"
The Asbabun-Nuzool (Reason for revelation) for this sura was when a group of Jews approcahed the prophet hoping to trick him by asking him the age old unanswerable riddle - which came first, the chicken or the egg? But Allah - May He be Exalted - defeated their plans by revealing that it was the Chicken that came first, followed closely by a boiled egg.
This sura also contains I'jaz 'ilmi - a scientific miracle. It is only recently that we discovered too much fried food can lead to heart attacks, yet Allah clearly reveals this when he directs us to boil our eggs rather than frying them. Today we know that boiling food is much healthier.
There is also a subtle linguistic beauty in the contrast between fresh open air and choking and hanging which restricts air - mashallah!
There are many other pearls of wisdom contained in this sura - I shall look up the tafseer of Ibn al-Kalb later and quote some later.
