Quran Chapter 25: 1 & 2 (Pt-18, Stg-4) (L-2260) درس قرآن

God has neither any son nor partner (2)

Chapter Furqaan”- {The Criterion (of Right and Wrong)} - 25

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
                                                           
Allaah Almighty has praised Himself in this Verse of High Station so that the mankind may know Him carefully.  He commanded that He is A Spring of all excellences, which has been rising internally and naturally every time. And every beauty has been increasing in it automatically. Neither these excellences can be counted and nor have any limit; nor beginning and nor termination. Depth of this Spring cannot be estimated. Consider it; as it boils up from its inside spontaneously, after rising up it appears a little, and then again it goes back boiling. This entire object (aim) and much more than it also exists in one word Tabaarak (TabaarakallaZii - Blessed is He). Then it was commanded: He has revealed a magnificent Book named Holy Qur’an in which all useful matters have been explained for mankind so that he may learn. And He manifested evil deeds also in it so that he may abstain from them.

By means of this Holy Book, the mankind can understand easily about the open difference between right and wrong, true and false. Moreover, Allaah Almighty chose His slave Muhammad as the last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) for conveying it unto the human beings and causing to understand them virtues carefully, giving good news to those who do good, and frightening those who do wrong by manifesting the wrong deeds that the end of their committers will not be good.

Then it was commanded: The Supreme Ruler and Alone Lord of the heavens and the earth is Allaah Almighty. Neither He needs any supporter in their producing and nor is He necessitous for their arrangement. Therefore, neither is His any son and nor any partner. He Alone created everything by His power and He Alone makes arrangements for them. For everything He established its peculiarities and fixed a circle of its life by correct judgment. And He drew tight everyone in such established orders and laws, from which nothing can go out. And He provided all requirements and powers to everything according to their capacity which were necessary for their working in their respective limited and fixed fields.

It has been emphasized on following Epithets of Allaah Almighty in this verse:

1.  He has unlimited excellences which increase naturally every time.

2.  He sent His chosen servant Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in the world along with Holy Qur’an which is a Criterion (Standard of Judging that what is right and what is wrong), so that he may frighten the mankind from the consequence of wicked deeds.

3.  He Alone is Supreme in Power of the entire universe.

4.  He has no child – son or daughter.

5.  He has no partner for arrangement of ruling.

6.  He is Creator of everything.

7.  He has bestowed suitable peculiarities and powers to everything in accordance with their suitability.

Commentary

Tabaaraka – (Blessed), it is past tense from the word tabaarakun, origin of which is barakah. Barakah means “blessing, growing and increasing naturally”.

Allaah Almighty is such long and wide Sea of all good and excellence; greatness and glory; life and power; omnipotence; mercy and perfection, that shore of which cannot be seen. His sufficiency and riches boils up into Himself every time. Neither we have such words by which we may describe His Eminence, and nor there is any such thing in the universe which can be considered like Him. Allaah Almighty has spread tokens of His Omnipotence among His creatures. Every individual can know Him by meditating into His tokens. Like this, He has explained concerning His Epithets in the Holy Qur’an in His Own Words, by which a mankind can imagine about Him.

It has been commanded in this verse: Allaah Almighty is Origin and Centre of the entire Excellences, Who revealed Holy Qur’an as a Criterion (Standard of Judging that what is right and what is wrong) and sent it by means of one of His chosen servants for causing to hear and as a warning for human beings in the world, that he {the last Messenger of Allaah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) may inform the entire human beings concerning bad consequences of their wicked deeds, so that lest they may be ruined being careless from Allaah Almighty and be slain during their carelessness.

Adoring any other than Allah is mere cheating - Quran Chapter 25: Intro (Pt-18, Stg-4) (L-2258) درس قرآن



Quran Chapter 25: Intro  (Pt-18, Stg-4) (L-2258) درس قرآن

Adoring any other than Allah is mere cheating

Chapter Furqaan”- {The Criterion (of Right and Wrong)} - 25

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
                                                           
According to the order of Chapters, this is twenty fifth Surah, which was revealed during middle times (of Apostleship) of the Messenger’s stay at Makkah (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Furqaan means “Criterion (Standard of Judging that what is right and what is wrong). It has been described in this Chapter that Rightful Deity is Allaah Almighty and worshiping any other than Him is mere cheating. Allaah Almighty (God) is only One, and meditating in strange arrangements of the creature is sufficient for knowing Him. The people, who do not reflect, go astray. Muhammad, the last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has been sent along with Holy Qur’an for warning them. He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has come to frighten them from the consequences of infidelity and ascribing plurality to Allaah Almighty. His good natures, unselfishness and good manners are open tokens of being his Prophet-hood. He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) will cause to hear the people; verses of Holy Qur’an, in which the lesson of God’s Oneness has been taught, vice of belief in a plurality of Allaah Almighty has been described and it has been urged that they should believe in the Day of Resurrection.

On the Day of General Resurrection, Allaah’s disbelievers will be thrown into the Hell. They will lose their senses when they will see its terrible form. No one will be able to have them released from its torment. Their false gods will reprove them. Neither the bribe will be useful there and nor they will find any helper.

Contrary to them, the good people; slaves and believers of Allaah Almighty will be entered into the Gardens. At that time, the Infidels will be afflicted severely that “God grant! If we had obeyed the Sayings of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), we would have been saved from painful doom. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) will give evidence against them that he caused to understand them very much but they did not admit and remained busy in their personal works by putting the Holy Qur’an behind. They tried to produce doubts in this Holy Scripture.

After that, the attention has been drawn towards circumstances of those nations which falsified the Prophets (peace be upon them) of their times, failed in the world and deserved the punishment of the Doomsday. Then open signs concerning knowing Allaah Almighty in the world have been described and it has been instructed to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) that he should keep turning his attention only to Allaah Almighty. If these people do not believe in Him and do not inflict Him as “The Beneficent”, then they will be punished.

In the last Section, habits and natures of true Muslims have been explained, and it has been described that certainly they will be punished who will not believe in Allaah Almighty.

Correction of all affairs - Quran Chapter 24: Summary (Pt-18, Stg-4) (L-2257) درس قرآن



Quran Chapter 24: Summary  (Pt-18, Stg-4) (L-2257) درس قرآن

Correction of all affairs

Chapter Nuur” – (Light) - 24

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
                                                           
The society has been compelled in this chapter that its members should keep themselves chaste from evils. Naturally the human beings wish to live together mutually, and it is also difficult without dwelling mutually in the world. But every individual has some desires and necessities. These necessities and desires make him selfish. The sense describes that no one can fulfill his requirements without help of one another. Therefore, it is compulsory that everyone should show his favor to all other people. In the matter of the limit of showing favor, the people have suffered many losses. It is the universal truth that if Allaah Almighty had not sent His Prophets (peace be upon them) for the purpose of guidance from time to time in this world, the mankind would have to confront several difficulties in establishing relationship with his companions and environments.

Islam came in the world along with the mankind and taught him the ways of living together in accord with its rules. At the end, the last Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) came and produced its perfect form before the entire people of the world. The real matter which exists in it is to believe that The Creator of this world is only Allaah Almighty. And only He is Who saves the life of every living being and prescribes correct established orders for dwelling of every individual. As the mankind should live in the world, can live then; when he will believe in Allaah Almighty, accept that Muhammad is His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and pass his life with effort according to the Instructions mentioned in Holy Qur’an.

There are fifteen commandments in this chapter (‘An-Nuur), in which the manners of correcting domestic affairs and dwelling in a society have been described for guidance of the mankind:

1.
Punishment of adultery has been fixed.
2.
Pious people should not wed evil-workers.

3.
Punishment of blaming others.
4.
Punishment of accusing own wife without proof.
5.
Way of visiting others’ houses.
6.
Men and women should adopt a habit of keeping their eyes below and save their private parts, so that they may be saved from any sin.
7.
Marriage is the best way of acquiring chastity.
8.
Be patient if you are not able to wed until you prosper.
9.
Write emancipation deed for your slaves and bond-women if they seek a writing for their freedom.
10.
Force not the women to whoredom.
11.
Asking leave for coming in the house during particular hours.
12.
Condition of discarding outer clothing.
13.
Permission, principals and ways of eating and drinking together. Salute the people in the houses when you enter!
14.
Commandments concerning going away from the assemblies.
15.
Knowing Allaah Almighty and His promise of final success with His adorers.

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
                                                           
أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَيَوْمَ يُرْجَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌۢ 64

64.  Lo! verily unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. He knoweth your condition. And (He knoweth) the Day when they are returned unto Him so that He may inform them of what they did. And Allah is Knower of all things.  
64.  ‘Alaaa  ‘inna  Lillaahi  maa  fis-samaawaati  wal-‘arz.  Qad  ya’-lamu  maaa  ‘antum  ‘alayh.  Wa  yawma  yurja-‘uuna  ‘ilayhi  fayu-nabbi-‘uhum  bimaa  ‘amiluu.  Wallaahu  bikulli  shay-‘in  ‘Aliim.

Commentary

The mankind considers ignorantly that whatsoever exists in the world, is in his possession, or he can lay hold on that thing which he desires by his power. He thinks that everything is in his control, can make what he wills and can spoil what he wants. Good thing is only that which he likes. In addition, some zealous people reflect that they are greatest among all human beings. They will increase their power by their effort as much that any person will make not the slightest noise before them. He will defeat all strong people and there will be no one who may rebel.

The same behavior of the maximum human groups remained during every ancient era. It is the basic reason of disputes and wars among the people.

It has been proclaimed strongly in this verse: O ignorant people! Use your sense! Every that thing which is in the earth is of Allaah Almighty. Besides this, all things in the heavens too, are of Him also. You can hide your condition from other human beings who are like you, but Allaah Almighty knows your all conditions. You can never deceive Him. He has given you respite for some days in the world. But a Day is coming soon when you all will be present before Him collectively. On that Day, your entire good and evil deeds will be produced openly before you. If you understood at that time, it would not be useful for you. Therefore, it would be better if you understand today that Allaah Almighty is Aware of all conditions of everything, so we should fear Him.

Fear of God’s Doom - Quran Chapter 24: 63b (Pt-18, Stg-4) (L-2255) درس قرآن



Quran Chapter 24: 63b  (Pt-18, Stg-4) (L-2255) درس قرآن

Fear of God’s Doom

Chapter Nuur” – (Light) - 24

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
                                                           
لَّا تَجْعَلُوا۟ دُعَآءَ ٱلرَّسُولِ بَيْنَكُمْ كَدُعَآءِ بَعْضِكُم بَعْضًا قَدْ يَعْلَمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَسَلَّلُونَ مِنكُمْ لِوَاذًا فَلْيَحْذَرِ ٱلَّذِينَيُخَالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِۦٓ أَن تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ 63  

63b.  Allah knoweth those of you who steal away, hiding themselves. And let those who conspire to evade orders beware lest trial or painful punishment befall them.
63b.  Qad  ya’-lamUllaahul-laziina  yatasal-laluuna  minkum  liwaazaa.  Falyah-zarillaziina  yukhaali-fuuna  ‘an  ‘amriHii  ‘an  tusiibahum  fitnatun  ‘aw  yusiibahum  ‘azaabun  ‘aliim.

Commentary

yatasal-laluuna – (they steal away), origin of this word is sallun, which means “to pull out immediately”. Tasallalun is its intransitive, which means “to slip away quietly”.

Liwaazaa – (hiding behind one another), it has been derived from the word lawzun, which means “to conceal, taking shelter”. Liwaazun means “to hide behind one another.”

There were such people in Madinah too who were thought-fellows of the Infidels of Makkah. They used to consider that Islam was a game for a few days only. It would not be able to change the way of life which has been established with effect from ancient times and it would become extinct automatically within some days.

Apparently, these people used to follow the Muslims thoughtlessly, but their hearts did never accept Islam. They used to come for offering prayer unwillingly after hearing ‘Azaan (a call for prayer), attend the assemblies of Muslims and hear the Sayings of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), but in a while; they used to become tiresome, and when any Muslim used to go out; they used to slip away quietly also, hiding themselves behind the Muslim, because such Sayings were not liked by them. Such kind of conduct has been satirized in this verse.

It is commanded: Allaah Almighty is Aware of those people who steal away by the support of others, as soon as they find any chance. There is rebellion in their hearts. They do not care the Will of the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and do as they wish. They should fear that they can be punished due to this repugnance. And any severe disaster can come upon them in the world. Moreover, they can be entangled in a painful Doom on the Day of Resurrection.
