Prostrating and standing before Lord at night (5)

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)

                                                           

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).
