 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

                                                           

وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَمْ يَخِرُّوا۟ عَلَيْهَا صُمًّا وَعُمْيَانًا 73  وَٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَٱجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا 74

73.  And those who, when they are reminded of the Revelations of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat.   74.  And who say: Our Lord! Vouchsafe us comfort of our wives and of our offspring, and make us patterns for (all) those who ward off (evil).

73.  Wallaziina  ‘izaa  zukkiruu  bi-‘Aayaati  Rabbihim  lam  ya-khirruu  ‘alayhaa  summanw-wa  ‘umyaanaa.   74.  Wallaziina  yaquuluuna  Rabbanaa  hab  lanaa  min  ‘azwaajinaa  wa  zurriyyaatinaa  qurrata  ‘a’-yuninw-  waj-‘alnaa  lil-Muttaqiina  ‘Imaamaa.

Commentary

 

More good works of the good people have been described in these verses. It is commanded:

 

1. When Revelations of their Lord are recited before them, they listen to them carefully and meditate in their meanings. They do not become careless from it that when the Word of Allaah Almighty is caused to hear them and Holy Qur’an is produced before them; they sit before it like the statue of the stone instead of beholding and hearing the verses of Holy Qur’an; and show themselves deaf and blind. It is not the act of the righteous people that Holy Qur’an is recited before them but they ignore it and intend unto any other work.

 

2. These righteous people pray from Allaah Almighty: Our Lord! Vouchsafe us comfort of our wives and of our offspring, so that by looking their habits and manners, our eyes acquire pleasure and our hearts become cheerful. And our Lord! Give us strength to become abstinent and be saved from the evil deeds. They wish that they should be excellent example for all those who ward off (evil).

Prostrating and standing before Lord at night (4)

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)

                                                           

وَمَن تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَإِنَّهُۥ يَتُوبُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَتَابًا 71  وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ ٱلزُّورَ وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِٱللَّغْوِ مَرُّوا۟ كِرَامًا 72

71.  And whosoever repenteth and doeth good, he verily repenteth toward Allah with true repentance.   72.  And those who do not witness vanity, but when they pass near senseless play, pass by with dignity.

71.  Wa  man  taaba  wa  ‘amila  saalihan  fa-‘innahuu  yatuubu  ‘ilAllaahi  mataabaa.   72.  Wallaziina  laa  yash-haduu-naz-zuura,  wa  ‘izaa  marruu  bil-lagwi  marruu  kiraamaa.

Commentary

Generally it was described earlier to the Disbelievers that punishment of great evils will certainly be given to them. There is only one form of safety from the torment that; if they give up committing evil deeds, believe in Allaah Almighty and do good works, then their evil deeds will be forgiven and Allaah Almighty will change their evil deeds to good deeds in their Character Roll.

 

Now, it is being commanded to the Believers in this verse that if any of them commits any great evil deed negligently or carelessly, then its remedy is “Repentance”. That is to say, to intend strongly that “I shall never commit any such evil deed again” and along with this intension, doing good works. The person, who asks forgiveness (recites: I entreat forgiveness of Allaah) by his tongue at such occasion and apologizes humbly; bowing down in the Court of Allaah Almighty. After that, he should keep himself doing good works constantly.

 

Then again, the virtues of the righteous people have been described. It is commanded: These people do never tell a lie, nor give evidence falsely and nor take part in fraud, cheating or forgery etc. But they keep themselves away from such places where such evil deeds are committed. And they do neither partake in useless and senseless games, play, dance, songs and amusements, and nor quarrel with such people but they pass by such gatherings with dignity.
