Glory of Allah Almighty

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

Lessons from Chapter Seventeen “The Children of
Israel” came to an end at previous lesson. First matter which has been taught
in this Chapter; is, “Knowing correctly our Lord”. Many people admit that Allah
Almighty exists but they do not know Him correctly. First verse of this Chapter
begins with the words “SUBHAANALLAZIII ‘as-raa
bi-‘AbdiHii” (GLORIFIED BE HE Who carried His servant). The name “Allah” has
not been mentioned clearly in this verse, but His one such Epithet has been
described in it which cannot be of any other save Him. Therefore, it can be
understood easily that here; the aim from ‘Allaziii is only “Allah
Almighty” not any other.
The last verse of the same Chapter begins with the
words “Wa qulil-Hamdu
Lillaahil-lazii” (And say: Praise be to Allah, Who), and it ends on the words;
meanings of which are “’Allaahu ‘Akbar” (Allah is the Greatest),
whereas the topic of discussion in between the verse is “Laa
‘ilaaha ‘illAllaahu” (There is no God but Allah).
Above mentioned four Kalimahs
(Words) are sufficient for knowing Allah Almighty. The aim from these words is
“SubhaanAllaah (God Almighty is Pure
from all kinds of defect, fault or weakness. Neither any wickedness can be into
Him nor any deficiency, and nor any kind of helplessness or inability). ‘Al-Hamdu-Lillaah (All Praises are of
Allah and the entire praises are into Him only; not in any other save Him. And
if anywhere any praise is visible, that is also a reflection of His Excellence.
Any other save Allah Almighty does not possess the Actual Excellence. Therefore,
comparatively His Praises are most eminent and most dignified). ’Allaahu ‘Akbar” (As He is Pure from all kinds of evils, no
other has Praises like Him, He is Whole of all Praises also, then without any
doubt He is the Greatest too). Laa ‘ilaaha ‘illAllaahu”, (While He
is the Greatest; and certainly He is the Greatest, then there can be no other
Worshipped (God) save Him (Allah)”.
It is also
understood from the same Chapter that every thing is helpless before Allah
Almighty and has been explaining about own helplessness in own language. The
power which exists anywhere, is of Him only, if that exists at any other place,
that is given by Him. And it is the entire subject of “wa Laa hawla wa laa
quwwata ‘illaa Billaahil-‘Aliyil-‘Aziim” (There
is neither might nor power except with Allah).
Therefore, for acquiring knowledge about God
Almighty, summary of this Chapter is hidden in these words
سبحان
الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله اكبر ولا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي
العظيم
(SubhaanAllaah wal-hamduLillaah
wa-laa ‘ilaaha ‘illAllaahu Wallaahu Akbar wa Laa hawla
wa laa quwwata ‘illaa
Billaahil-‘Aliyil-‘Aziim), "Allah is free from imperfection, All
praise is due to Allah, there is no God but Allah), Allah is the Greatest, There is neither might nor power except with Allah
".
That is to say, this Chapter is explanation of above mentioned
Kalimah. Along with it,
Messenger-hood and the life after death has been explained that after
reproduction the life will be perpetual, and that can be pleasant in this form only
that worldly life should be passed in accord with the Commands of Holy Qur’an.
