وَلَّوْا إِلَى قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ



they returned to their people as warners.

It means that they went back to their people and warned them about what they heard from Allah's Messenger.

This is similar to Allah's saying,

لِّيَتَفَقَّهُواْ فِى الدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُواْ قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُواْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ
that they may obtain understanding in religion and warn their people when they return to them, so that they might be cautious (of evil). (9:122)

This Ayah has been used as evidence that the Jinns have warners from among themselves, but no Messengers. There is no doubt that Allah did not send Messengers from among the Jinns, because He says,

وَمَأ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلاَّ رِجَالاً نُّوحِى إِلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى

And We did not send before you as Messengers any but men, to whom We revealed from among the people of cities. (12:109)

And Allah says,

وَمَأ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلاَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِى الاٌّسْوَاقِ

And We never sent before you any of the Messengers but verily they ate food and walked in the markets. (25:20)

And He says about Ibrahim Al-Khalil, upon him be peace,

وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتَـبَ
And We placed in his descendants Prophethood and Scripture. (29:27)

Thus, every Prophet whom Allah sent after Ibrahim was from his offspring and progeny.

As for Allah's saying in Surah Al-An`am,

يَـمَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالاِنْسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ

O company of Jinns and human beings! Did there not come to you Messengers from among you? (6:130)

It only applies to the two kinds collectively, but specifically pertains to just one of them, which is the human.

This is like Allah's saying,

يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمَا الُّلوْلُوُ وَالمَرْجَانُ

From both of them (salty and fresh waters) emerge pearl and Marjan. (55:22)

Although He said "both of them" this applies to only one of the two types of water (the salty water).

Allah then explains how the Jinns warned their people. He says

And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of our Decrees)

English - Ibn Kathir
The Destruction or Torment of all Disbelieving Towns before the Hour begins

Allah tells;

وَإِن مَّن قَرْيَةٍ إِلاَّ نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا كَانَ ذَلِك فِي الْكِتَابِ مَسْطُورًا



And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of Our decrees).

Here Allah tells us that He has decreed and it is written in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet) which is with Him, that there is no town that He will not destroy by wiping out all its people or by punishing them,
عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا
(with a severe torment), either by killing them or sending calamities upon them as He wills.

This will be because of their sins, as Allah says of the past nations:

وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـهُمْ وَلَـكِن ظَلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ

We wronged them not, but they wronged themselves. (11:101)

فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَـقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْراً

So it tasted the evil result of its affair (disbelief), and the consequence of its affair (disbelief) was loss. (65:9)

وَكَأِيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ

And many a town (population) revolted against the command of its Lord and His Messengers; (65:8)

and many Ayat
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى ال إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد
اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى ال إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد
Imām ibn al-Qayyim said: Allāh said about the munāfiqīn: "They do not remember Allah except a little" [4:142]

Ka'b said: "Remebering Allāh a lot will free you from nifāq"

Al-Wābil as-Sayyib 161
Making the most of A'rafah;

The complete first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah are given immense value by Allah S.W.T. He attaches so much importance to these days that He S.W.T swears by them in The Holy Quran. 

Allah, the Most High & Exalted says: “By the Dawn; By the ten nights”

[Surah Al-Fajr:1-2]

1. Fasting,

‎For those not going to hajj, fasting on this day will absolve the sins from the previous year and the coming year, make sure you fast!

‎The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Fasting the day of `Arafah expiates the sins of two years: the past one and the coming one.” (Muslim)

2. Stay clear of Major sins,

including Shirk, Zina, disobedience to parents, bribery, not giving Zakah, drinking, slandering, interest, losing hope in the Mercy  of Allah and not fearing Allah, instead focus so hard on praying extra Ibadah

3. Make Fard Salah your TOP priority,

Remember-If you can fix your Salah, your Salah will fix everything else for you

4. Recite Tahleel, Takbeer, Tahmeed and Tasbeeh multiple times a day,

Takbeer means Allahu Akbar,
Tahmeed means Alhamdulilah
Tahleel is Laa-ilaaha-ilAllah
Tasbeeh is SubhanAllah.

5. Recite Quran abundantly,

If you already are in habit of reading Quran regularly, then you may set a goal of reading another Juz or reading the Tafseer of a Surah or two everyday during these 10 days, especially on the Day of Arafah.

‎6. It is the day of forgiveness of sins, freedom from the Fire,

‎Prophet (ﷺ) said: “There is no day on which Allaah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of ‘Arafaah. He comes close and expresses His pride to the angels, saying, ‘What do these people want?’” [Muslim]

7. Be extra nice to your parents,

This one is probably the most difficult one for young Muslims. No matter how angry you are at your parents for any reason, make a promise to yourself on the Day of Arafah that you will never get angry at them anymore.

8. Give Charity,

Spending in the way of Allah is one of the most beloved acts of worship in Islam. Charity does not only mean you have to spend money on the poor probably anything that puts smile on people face is a charity.

9. Re-think the purpose of your life and make a fresh start,

We don’t think about the purpose of our lives everyday. These 10 days including the Day of Arafah can be the turning point in your life.

10. Go out of your way to do Ibadah & more good deeds, make lots of Du'as, taubah and Istighfar.

He who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of pride shall not enter Paradise.

"It is not the eyes that are blind, but the hearts."

— Qur'an 22:46
Al-A'raf 7:40
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ عَنۡهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمۡ أَبۡوَٰبُ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَا يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ ٱلۡجَمَلُ فِى سَمِّ ٱلۡخِيَاطِۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِى ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Verily, those who belie Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and treat them with arrogance, for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle (which is impossible). Thus do We recompense the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.).
Al-Munafiqun - 63:10


وَأَنفِقُواْ مِن مَّا رَزَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِىَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوۡلَآ أَخَّرۡتَنِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

And spend (in charity) of that with which We have provided you, before death comes to one of you and he says: "My Lord! If only You would give me respite for a little while (i.e. return to the worldly life), then I should give Sadaqah (i.e. Zakat) of my wealth, and be among the righteous [i.e. perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah)].
‎Ḥasan al-Baṣrī رحمه الله said:

‎“Know that you do not love Allah, until you love being obedient to him.”

‎[Fatḥ Ḏī ʾl-Jalāli wa ʾl-Ikrām bi Sharḥ Bulūġ al-Marām]
‎انا عند ظن عبدي بي

‎"I am as my slave thinks of me"

‎NEVER forget this hadeeth - when we believe Allah سبحانه وتعالى will do it for us - He WILL.

‎Being full (from food) makes the body heavy, hardens the heart, removes astuteness, brings about sleep and weakens the individual from performing acts of worship.
