In the name
of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful |
|
Glorify the name of your Rabb, the Most
High,[1] Who has created all things and perfected them.[2] Who
has set their destinies and guided them.[3] Who brings forth
green pasture,[4] then reduces it to black rubbish.[5] Soon We
shall make you recite Our revelations so you shall forget
none of them[6] except what Allah wills. Surely He knows what is
open and what is hidden.[7] We shall make it easy for you to
follow the easy way.[8] Therefore remind, surely reminder does
benefit.[9] He who fears Allah will heed the
reminder,[10] and he who is unfortunate will avoid it.[11] The
one who will avoid, shall burn in the gigantic fire,[12]
where he shall neither die nor live.[13] The one who will
take admonition and purify himself shall be successful,[14]
who remembers the name of his Rabb and prays.[15] But O men!
You prefer the life of this world;[16] while the Hereafter
is better and everlasting.[17] Surely the same was said in the
earlier scriptures;[18] the scriptures of Ibrãhïm (Abraham)
and Musa (Moses).[19]
87:[1-19] |
Glorify Allah; Allah has taken the responsibility of the
Prophet's memory about The Qur'an
It is a reminder and those who heed its reminders will be
successful in the hereafter |
Major Issues, Divine
Law and Guidance:
|
* Tawhïd: Allah is Almighty, always
glorify Him.
* Allah has taken the responsibility off of Holy Prophet's
memorization of the Qur’an by assuring him that he will not
forget any portion of it.
* Those who heed Allah's reminders will be successful in the
Hereafter.
In the first verse, the doctrine of Tawhïd
is compressed into a single sentence, saying that Allah’s name
should be glorified and exalted and He should not be remembered
by any name which might reflect a deficiency, fault, weakness,
or likeness with created beings.
Then, the Prophet (pbuh) is told: “You are not responsible to
bring everyone on to the right path; your only duty is to convey
the message, and the simplest way of conveying the message is to
admonish him who is inclined to listen to the admonition and
accept it, and the one who is not inclined to it, should not be
pursued. The one who fears the evil consequences of deviation
and falsehood, will listen to the truth and accept it, and the
wretched one who avoids listening to and accepting it, will
himself see his evil end.”
In conclusion, it is said that success is only for those who
adopt purity of belief, morals and deed, and remember the name
of their Lord and perform the Prayer. On the contrary however,
most people are wholly lost in seeking the ease, benefits and
pleasures of this worldly life, instead of endeavoring for their
well being in the hereafter. The world is transitory and the
Hereafter everlasting, and the blessings of the Hereafter are
far better than the blessings of this world. This truth has not
been expressed only in the Qur’an, but also in the books of the
Prophet Ibrãhïm (Abraham) and Musa (Moses).
