Sura: Al-An’aam
Ayat 125
Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He
willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to
the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe.
Yusuf Ali's Quran Translation
Therefore (for) whomsoever Allah intends that He would guide him aright, He expands his breast for
Islam, and (for) whomsoever He intends that He should cause him to err, He makes his breast strait
and narrow as though he were ascending upwards; thus does Allah lay uncleanness on those who do
not believe.
M Shakir's Quran Translation
High Altitude Pressure Allah says that whoever he guides he expands his breast. This is a term used in Arabic for various meanings. In a nut
shell a person whose breast has been expanded by Allah becomes open minded to accept the truth. On the contrary
he who seeks the path of ignorance Allah makes his breast narrow as if he were ascending upwards.
Quran has bluntly mentioned the fact that a person experiences difficulty in breathing at heights. At the same time
Quran is also telling us that more the height increases more difficulty is experienced by the person. These are facts
that are known to every person nowadays after the advent of modern science but Quran mentions these facts
miraculously many centuries before those were known to the man.
Human beings need oxygen and air pressure in order to live. Breathing is made possible by the oxygen in the
atmosphere reaching the air sacs in our lungs. As elevation rises, however, atmospheric pressure goes down as the
atmosphere becomes thinner. Therefore, the amount of oxygen entering the blood stream declines and it becomes
harder to breathe. As the air sacs grow narrow and contract, we feel as if we cannot breathe.
If the amount of oxygen in the blood is less than the body needs, several symptoms emerge: extreme fatigue,
headaches, dizziness, nausea, and loss of judgment. When a certain height is reached, it finally becomes impossible
for a human being to breathe at all. This is why we need oxygen bottles and special clothing in order to survive at
such elevations also we have oxygen equipment in airplanes.
Stress, a result of not following religion Second important thing mentioned in the Ayat is that a person who follows the wrong path remains tensed. Numerous psychological researches have proved those people who do not believe in any God are more likely to fall ill. There are many psychological and medical surveys that have been carried out in the past years that potray this fact. Modern medicine is now tending towards the realization of this truth. Without going into the details of the subject I would like to summarize it as Patrick Glynn put it: "Scientific research in psychology over the past twenty-five years has demonstrated that religious belief is one of the most consistent correlates of overall mental health and happiness." (GLYNN, GOD: THE EVIDENCE, THE RECONCILIATION OF FAITH AND REASON IN A POSTSECULAR WORLD, 60-61) For more on the subject SURAH RAAD 13:28 and SURAH TAWBAH 9:118
This document is based on my under process book. I plan to collect all the Ayaats of the Holy Quran with deal with
scientific, historical and archaeological subjects. I am trying to provide explanation to those Ayaats in light of
Previous commentaries (Tafaseer), established science, archaeological discoveries and Arabic lexicons. Send in
your comments, queries and suggestion at [email protected]
Please do not copy paste without permission, until my book is published, Insha’Allah.
