Commentary
Minhum – (from among them), the
Prophets Abraham and Ishmael (peace be upon Them) are praying collectively, “O
our Lord! Produce a Submissive group/class out of the race from both of us and
raise up also a Messenger from among them. It is evident clearly that it
signifies towards the race out of the Prophet Ishmael (peace be upon Him). God
Almighty accepted their supplication and the Last Messenger of God Almighty,
Muhammad (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) was born from the
Children of Prophet Ishmael (peace be upon Him).
Yatluu ‘alayhim ‘AayaatiKa – (He shall recite unto
them Thy Revelations). The first work of the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) is recitation of the verses of
Holy Qur’an in front of His nation. That is to
say; ‘to convey and teach the Word of Allah Almighty. As though, His first
status/position is “the Greatest Preacher”.
Yu-‘allimuhumul- Kitaaba – (He shall instruct them
in the Scripture, teach them The Book) the work of Messenger of God Almighty
(glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) does not end only on preaching
and conveying, It is His duty too to teach the Holy Book of God Almighty after
preaching and conveying. As it were, His second status/position is the Greatest
Teacher.
Al-Hikmata – (Knowledge, talks of
Wisdom), Third work of the Prophet of God Almighty is to teach wisdom and
philosophy, to cause to know the Commands and matters relating Holy Qur’an, to teach etiquettes, to
tell the solution of various and complicated matters regarding the life in Its
light as though; His third status is the greatest religious and spiritual
Guide.
Yuzakkiihim – (He shall make them
grow, shall purify them) Tazkiah means the purification of the hearts.
Fourth work of the Messenger of God Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and peace
be upon Him) is to produce chastity of morality and sincerity of intentions
with His company and training. That is to say, He is the greatest Antidote and
Reformer.
The Prophet Abraham and His son Prophet Ishmael (peace
be upon Them) used to pray from Allah Almighty during the construction of the
House of Allah, “O Our Lord! Produce a Submissive nation from our race, raise
up a Messenger from among them, He would have four characteristics:
He (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) would
recite, teach and admonish the Book of Allah to the people, and by means of It;
purify their hearts. That is to say, He would be Preacher, Teacher, religious
and spiritual Guide, and Reformer”. These entire characteristics were fulfilled
into the Last Messenger of God Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and peace be
upon Him).
