Quran Chapter 3- 40 & 41 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-386) - درس قرآن

Remembering and praising Allah

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

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

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِى غُلَٰمٌ وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِىَ ٱلْكِبَرُ وَٱمْرَأَتِى عَاقِرٌ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱللَّهُيَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ 40

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱجْعَل لِّىٓ ءَايَةً قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ ثَلَٰثَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا رَمْزًا وَٱذْكُر رَّبَّكَ كَثِيرًا وَسَبِّحْ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ وَٱلْإِبْكَٰرِ 41 


40.  He said: My Lord! How can I have a son when old age hath overtaken me already and my wife is barren? (The angel) answered: So (it will be), Allah doeth what He will.    

41.  He said: My Lord! Appoint a token for me. (The angel) said: The token unto thee (shall be) that thou shalt not speak unto mankind three days except by signs. And remember thy Lord much, and praise (Him) in the early hours of night and morning.
40.  Qaala  Rabbi  ‘annaa  ya-kuunu  lii  gulaamunw-wa  qad  balaga-niyal-kibaru  wamra-‘atii  ‘aaqir.  Qaala  kazaali-kAllaahu  yaf-‘alu  maa  yashaaa’.    


41.  Qaala  Rabbij-‘al-liii  ‘Aayah.    Qaala  ‘Aayatuka  ‘allaa  tukalli-man-naasa  salaasata  ‘ayyaamin  ‘illaa  ramzaa.  Wazkur-Rab-baka  kasiiranw-wa  sabbih  bil-‘ashiyyi  wal-‘ibkaar.

Commentary

When glad tidings was given to Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) that a righteous son would be born in his house, he (peace be upon him) was much surprised and said, “Apparent causes about the birth of a son do not exist, old age has overtaken me and my wife is barren. How can the son be born”?

Allah Almighty commanded that He is not needy of the causes. He does what He wills.

When Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) relied on it, he requested, “O my Lord! Tell me any token with which I may know that my wife will bring forth a son”. Allah Almighty described, “Token of this glad tidings is that you will not speak with the people for three days except by signs. So whenever you feel this condition and your tongue remembers sincerely your Lord much, then understand it that offspring is near to be born”. Which token was told by Allah Almighty, that had biggest excellence i.e. that was a token as a sign and worship of Allah Almighty as adoration. That is to say: on one side that became cause of information (about glad tidings of the son) to Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him), and on the other side that became source of Allah’s prayer and gratitude. Along with it Allah Almighty urged Zachariah (peace be upon him) to praise (Him) in the early hours of night and morning in these days, and remain engaged in mentioning His Praise and Chasteness.

Allah Almighty is the Cause of causes. He is the Master over the entire universe. He can do within a moment whatsoever He desires. He is not needy of any cause. Therefore, the mankind should have faith in the Power of Allah Almighty instead of keeping in view the apparent causes; and produce his every longing in His Court. If we shall depend only on our efforts and strength, then it will be not only going astray, but in case of failure, we shall be disappointed very much, result of which is suicide.
