Lesson
At-Tuur – (Toor), as per Arabic language,
every mountain is calledToor. A particular Mountain in the peninsula of Sinai
is also named as ‘Toor’. That is called “Jabal-ul-Toor” too.
‘Az–kuruu
maa fiihi – (remember that
which is therein), remember the subjects which exist in Holy Scripture Torah,
so that you may act upon them. Acting upon them is the main necessity for
remembering the commandments of God Almighty.
Tattaquun – (having fear of God) this word is from “Taqwaa”.
To ward off evil and to pass the life carefully is called Taqwaa.
That is called abstinence, control of the passions also. Who has good nature,
is a well wisher and has a good disposition, is named “muttaqii”. Islam
has stated it as a great excellence and perfection of mankind.
The Children
of Israel used to demand obstinately to bring a genuine Book of
Orders, so that they might act upon it. These people used to promise that they
would follow completely on the religious matters. But when they were given the
Scripture Torah, they began to oppose it and say that the Orders mentioned in
Torah are very heavy and difficult. We cannot act upon them.
To challenge them from
disobeying and violence, Allah Almighty ordered the Mount Toor which
was elevated over their heads. Observing it, the Children
of Israel began to shiver (for afraid of their death) and they had
lost the courage of opposing, and then they admitted the Laws of Torah under
compulsion.
At this stage, a
covenant was taken from the Children of Israel, “You will neither dispute
nor play the stratagems and argue to believe in the Holy Scripture “Torah”.
They were also told to make the law of passing their lives according to the
Orders and Commandments of this Heavenly Book, abide by them, so that fear of
God Almighty is produced in their hearts and “ye may ward off (evil).”
