Introduction of 32^nd Chapter

Chapter “SAJDAH” - (THE PROSTRATION) - 32

‘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 setting of Holy Qur’an, this is thirty second Chapter, which was revealed during the middle times of stay at Makkah. There are three Sections in this Chapter. At first, attention has been drawn towards this matter that surely Holy Qur’an is a Scripture sent down by Allaah Almighty, Who brings up the entire living beings of all the worlds and Who is Protecting Friend of all of them. There is no doubt in it.

Holy Qur’an’s way of speaking has been describing clearly that the Creator of this world has sent it down for the guidance of His entire prudent and adult creature. It addresses; not only any particular folk or class; but those creatures who keep perception of understanding and responsibility into themselves.

Do these ignorant people of Makkah say about this dignified Scripture that it has been invented by the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) himself? They are aware of Arabic language, if even then they say like this, then there is no other reason save it that they are stubborn and selfish. Give up these things! This Holy Book really explains the truth and has been sent as a warning for them; towards whom no Prophet was sent in the past, so that it may make them Spiritual Guides for the people of the entire world.

It commands: Know your Lord (Allaah Almighty) Who Alone created the heavens, the earth and all creatures between them, and established an Order of them. You have no Companion or Supporter save Him. Believe in Him and follow His Commandments! You have to live in this world for some days, then the death will seize all of you. After that, you will be brought back to life again, your deeds will be reckoned and you will be dealt with reward or punishment according to your worldly deeds. On that Day, those who disobey Allaah Almighty, will grieve and request to send them back again in this world, but their request will be rejected, because they were made to understand carefully by means of the Prophets (peace be upon them) and the Scriptures that “your abode would be Hell if you did not believe. We shall forget you Today (the Day of Judgment) as you forgot Us in the world. Nothing is for you Today but the Doom”.

Behold! Listen carefully! Believers are those who give up haughtiness after hearing the verses of Holy Qur’an and bow down immediately before Allaah Almighty. They get up during night hours, implore earnestly and humbly before Him. As they fear Him, they hope for His forgiveness too.

Behold! Little disasters are sent in the world for wakening the mankind. They would have to suffer from very severe torment on the Day of Resurrection if they did not waken. Remember it that the Day of Resurrection is Inevitable and entire disputes will be settled on that Day.

Quotation from Thirty First Chapter

Chapter “LUQMAAN”- (LUQMAN) - 31

‘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)

In this Chapter, the attention has been drawn towards this matter that Commandments of Holy Qur’an are in accordance with the Wisdom, that is to say, the care has been taken in its every Word that the last result of every work should be good, whether one has to give up a little apparent personal benefit in the beginning for this purpose. Its incumbent result is that only those people can reap real advantages from its Words whose nature has been bent towards good works and who behold on the consequence. Certainly they would like to establish prayer and do good for the necessitous people. Moreover these people will not claim its remuneration immediately in this world, but they would have faith that this world is a temporary living place, and mankind’s present life is limited, so complete retribution of good works cannot be received here. Its necessary result is - belief in the Hereafter.

After that, some such matters have been narrated, consequence of which is not good, due to which; on the Day of Resurrection; one shall have to suffer from great grief, pain and afflictions. Many of the matters from them are those in which the only aim is worldly amusement and play. And by chance, these are the matters in which most of the people of the world are seen involved nowadays.

It is tried to appreciate the needless stories, novels, self-invented imaginary fables, dancing, singing, grand buildings, photography, prints and paintings, romantic poetry and all such works which are called Fine Arts. These all are such works; consequence of which will not be good on the Day of Resurrection. Moreover, these matters have been becoming origin of spreading many evils.  

After that, attention is drawn towards those matters, consequence of which will be better, for example – knowing Allaah Almighty, belief in Oneness of God, hatred from the belief in a plurality of Allaah and escaping from bad habits etc.

It has been indicated after describing the story of Lugman in this Chapter that wise people of the world are agreeing on goodness of such matters which have been mentioned in holy Qur’an as good works. And they admit that such works are bad which Holy Qur’an says that those are bad.

After that, it has been described: Open your eyes and see! Portents of the Divine Power of Allaah Almighty are apparent in the entire world. By looking them; you should believe in the truth of all such matters which Holy Qur’an has described. If even then someone does not believe, he is stupid. It is only a matter of stubbornness, otherwise neither human beings know the things nor have authority over them, without which their entire workings and boastings are worthless.

God sends down the rain

Chapter “LUQMAAN”- (LUQMAN) - 31

‘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)

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ ٱلْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلْأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِى نَفْسٌ مَّاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِى نَفْسٌۢ بِأَىِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌۢ 34

                                       

34.  Lo! Allah! With Him is knowledge of the Hour. He sendeth down the rain, and knoweth that which is in the wombs. And no soul knoweth what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knoweth in what land it will die. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.

34.  ‘InnAllaaha  ‘indaHuu  ‘ilmus-Saa-‘ah.  Wa  Yunazzilul-gays.  Wa  Ya’-lamu  maa  fil-‘arhaam. Wa  maa tadrii  nafsum-maa-zaa  taksibu-  gadaa.  Wa  maa  tadrii  nafsum-  bi-‘ayyi  ‘arzin  tamuut.  ‘InnAllaaha  ‘Aliimun  Khabiir.

Commentary

In this verse, the mankind has been warned very severely due to his ignorance. It has been described to him that in spite of being unaware of real matters, he becomes so much obstinate that he disregards all others.

It is commanded: Allaah Almighty Alone has knowledge of the Hour, and causing to rain is in His Knowledge and Power. Only He knows that what is in the womb of the mother; whether it is male or female. Nobody knows that what will he do tomorrow and where will he die. Allaah Almighty is Aware of all such matters. He gives knowledge to whom He desires. Then on which pride the human beings have big hopes and make great plans? They have forgotten and exulted due to their false knowledge. Everything will be finished if a great calamity befalls at the spot. Land will stop producing provision if the raining is stopped and the mankind will not be able to do something. He thought frequently that tomorrow he would do so and so, but such circumstances happened that he could do nothing. While you do not have power in all such matters, then why do you not obey the Commandments of Allaah Almighty, Who is Aware of everything and Able to do as He desires? He is Who commands the mankind for that which is suitable for him.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ وَٱخْشَوْا۟ يَوْمًا لَّا يَجْزِى وَالِدٌ عَن وَلَدِهِۦ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَن وَالِدِهِۦ شَيْـًٔا إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْغَرُورُ 33  

                                       

33.  O mankind! Keep your duty to your Lord and fear a Day when the parent will not be able to avail the child in aught, nor the child to avail the parent. Lo! Allah’s Promise is the very truth; so let not the life of the world beguile you, nor let the deceiver beguile you, in regard to Allah.

33.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhan-naasut-taquu  Rabbakum  wakhshaw  Yawmal-laa  yajzii  waalidun  ‘anw-waladihii  wa  laa  mawluudun  huwa  jaazin  ‘anw-waalidihii  shay-‘aa.  ‘Inna  Wa’-dAllaahi  haqqun  falaa  tagur-ranna-kumul-hayaatud-dunyaa.  Wa  laa  yagurran-nakum-  Billaahil-Garuur.

Commentary

It was commanded in previous verses: After observing favors and graces of Allaah Almighty spread everywhere, the mankind should know Him and get ready to obey His Commandments. But the conduct of the mankind is very astonishing. He reaps advantages from the graces of Allaah Almighty every time, but forgets Him and welcomes others courteously. However, when any sudden harsh misfortune falls, in which he finds no helper, then he turns his attention fully towards Allaah Almighty and cries unto Him, making his faith pure for Him only. His injustice is it that as soon as his misfortune is removed, he becomes ingrate.

In this verse it is commanded: You should be careful, fear from the displeasure of Allaah Almighty every time and remember it that such dreadful Day is near to come when no father will avail his son, nor will a son avail his father at all.

It is the Promise of Allaah Almighty which cannot be withdrawn, because His Promise is not for the time being, but His Word is the strongest and soundest. Therefore, you should believe in it and should not be entangled in the deception and misunderstanding of the life of this world. You should not fall in the scheming of Satan because he deceives the mankind in the name of Allaah Almighty. For example, he says: You should enjoy your life, Allaah Almighty is Forgiving, Merciful.

Be cautious! Salvation is in fearing from the wrath of Allaah Almighty.

31.  Hast thou not seen how the ships glide on the sea by Allah’s Grace, that He may show you of His Wonders? Lo! therein indeed are Portents for every steadfast, grateful (heart). 32.  And if a wave enshroudeth them like awnings, they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only. But when He bringeth them safe to land, only some of them compromise. And some denieth Our Signs save every traitor ingrate.

Commentary

‘Az-zulali – (the things which enshroud over heads, for example, clouds, mountain, thatched roof, sunshades etc.), this word is plural of zullatun which has been derived from zillun. Zillun means “shadow”.

Khat-taarun – (treacherous, traitor, deceiver), this word has come out from khatar, which means “to deceive”.

Muqtasidun – (those who are moderate in faith, temperate), this is the Subject from the word ‘iqtasaad, which has been derived from qasad.

It is commanded: You see that how the ships sail on the surface of the water of the Sea, transport and carry goods from one place to the other by the Grace of Allaah Almighty. Do you not see His Divine Power in it? There are Signs for knowing Allaah Almighty in it for them who are temperate and grateful. Moreover, when waves come over them like canopies, they begin to supplicate Allaah Almighty sincerely. But after reaching the coast of the sea, some of them remain moderate in their faith. However most of them reject the Signs of Allaah Almighty. Such people are treacherous and ungrateful.

(Section 3)

Commentary

It is commanded: Listen! Everything is under the Control of Allaah Almighty. Bringing all of you into being and reproducing after death is not difficult for Him. Creating innumerable living things and producing one living thing are equal near Him. Every matter depends upon His Desire. As soon as He intends, the thing is in existence. As He hears and sees everything at a time, like this producing one or abundant is equal for Him. You can observe His Divine Power in it that sometimes the day is larger than the night and sometimes the night is larger than the day. Sun and moon are busy in their individual works, have been and will continually be performing their duties properly according to the times prescribed for them. There is a dire need of drawing attention towards these matters, so that it may be known that the Rightful Worshipped is only Allaah Almighty. Other entire gods are false. Allaah Almighty is the Greatest and the Most High.
