Way of recognizing the Deity (1)

Chapter “RUUM” – (THE ROMANS) – 30

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahiminash-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)

 

 وَمِنْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ إِذَآ أَنتُم بَشَرٌ تَنتَشِرُونَ 20  وَمِنْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ 21

20.  And of His Signs is this; He created you of dust, and behold you human beings, ranging widely!   21.  And of His Signs is this; He created for you helpmates from yourselves that ye might find rest in them, and He ordained between you love and mercy. Lo! Herein indeed are Portents for folk who reflect.

20.  Wa  min  ‘AayaatiHiii  ‘an  khalaqa-kum-min  turaabin  summa  ‘izaaa  ‘antum  basharun-  tantashiruun.   21.  Wa  min  ‘AayaatiHiii  ‘an  Khalaqa  lakum-min  ‘anfusi-kum  ‘azwaajal-litas-kunuuu  ‘ilayhaa  wa  ja-‘ala  bayna-kum-mawaddatanw-wa  rahmah.  ‘Inna  fii  zaalika  la-‘Aayaatil-liqawminy-yatafakkaruun.

Commentary

 

Tantashiruuna – (, scattered, dispersed, ranged widely), this word is from ‘intishaar, origin of which is nashrun. Nashrun means “to spread, to disperse far and wide”. ‘Intishaar means “dispersion, scattering”.

 

It was commanded previously: Deliverance of mankind depends on it that he should know Allaah Almighty and worship Him. The person who will do so, his abode will be green Garden; otherwise will be thrown into the Hell.

 

In these verses, it is commanded: Knowing Allaah Almighty is not too much difficult. There are many things in the world which cannot be made by the mankind and there are many such matters which are not in the power of human being. Meditate in these matters and think: While the mankind did not do these works then who did? After it, necessarily he would have to admit Allaah Almighty. The same are His Portents, by observing of which he cannot disbelieve in Allaah Almighty. One from those Tokens is that at first He created a man from the dust. Then human beings dispersed in the entire world as creatures with open bodies, without having wool or garment on their bodies.

 

One more Sign is that Allaah Almighty created his mate (wife) also from his kind, so that he might not be confused by feeling himself single, but might live along with his wife comfortably. And Allaah Almighty placed natural love and mercy between both of them. It is easy to know Allaah Almighty for them who reflect in these Portents.

Chapter “RUUM” – (THE ROMANS) – 30

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahiminash-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)

 

It was commanded: The prayer is a source of praising Allaah Almighty, glorifying Him and admitting His Magnificence. At first Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) exposed his opinion after looking the sun: It is greatest bright and magnificent planet, so if anyone can be my God; that is it. Then he (peace be upon him) continued looking at it and saying: It is the greatest God. When he (peace be upon him) saw that its condition was changed after declining of the sun, he doubted in its greatness. After that its brilliance began to become dim in the last part of the day. In the darkness of the night it disappeared entirely. When the night ended, its light appeared again and it began to undergo the same conditions. After observing such states, Abraham (peace be upon him) denied from accepting the sun as God, because which thing has so many changes in its conditions, whose splendor increases and decreases so much, that is not able to be a great God.

 

Therefore, he (peace be upon him) said wholeheartedly: Allaah is The Greatest Who does not have any connection with increase or decrease. No difference comes in His greatness and glory at any time. Accordingly, the same five times {Fajr (early morning prayer), Zuhr (noon prayer), ‘Asr (afternoon prayer), Magrib (evening prayer) & ‘Ishaa’ (the prayer of the first watch of the night) were prescribed in the above quoted verses for the times of the worship of Allaah Almighty. Offer your prayers during these times which begin with “Allaahu Akbar” (Allaah is the Greatest). It is acceptance of this matter that all Excellences and Praise in the heavens and in the earth are for Him only. Remember His Divine Power! He brings into being – living animal from the dead egg and dead egg from the living animal. When the land becomes dry and dead, He causes to rain of mercy, by which the land becomes fresh, moist and alive. Conclude from it that like this, He will reproduce the mankind after death in the Hereafter. Every human being, wherever he will be, will be brought to life again and raised.

 

After standing in the prayer respectfully and saying Allaahu Akbar, you should praise to Allaah Almighty, recite the verses of Holy Qur’an and meditate in their meanings. Then bow down, prostrate before Him, praise of His name and show your humility. Collection of all such matters is called “Prayer”, which is a remembrance of that way; by which Abraham (peace be upon him) disinclined from entire apparent glittering things like sun; which is the greatest from all of them, and turned towards Allaah Almighty, Who is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, heartily. You also should incline towards Allaah Almighty during those times; in which the conditions of the sun are changed. Believe in Him, worship Him and do good works being His obedient, so that you may acquire the Garden on the Day of Resurrection.
