Commentary
Great aim of fasting
is fear of God (abstinence) as it has been discussed earlier in the verse 183,
(Lesson # 212). Now in the last part of this verse other three purposes of the
fasting have been described.
Litukmilul-‘iddata (you should
complete the period), it means that the disabled people may keep the fasts during
other times besides the month of Ramadan and complete the calculation
of that month. It is the Grace and Kindness of Allah Almighty that if any
individual couldn’t fulfill his duty in time and might not execute the command
at due time, then he is given further chance so that he may fulfill the Command
of God Almighty and may acquire His pleasure, though fulfillment of the
commands of the Divine is necessary. Advantage may be reaped from the
facilities but the Commandment cannot be ignored.
LitukabbirUllaaha (that you should
magnify Allah), the purpose is to sing the songs of magnificence and greatness
of Allah Almighty, by acting upon His bestowed Guidelines. It is Mercy of God
Almighty also that He has shown us the Straight Path with His wisdom and
knowledge, the individual, who goes that path, remains safe from every calamity
and distress. The mankind should try to raise up the prestige, the name and the
religion of Allah Almighty, remain busy to magnify the religion day and night,
and try to get delight of Allah Almighty every time, elevate His name in the
East and the West, so that no nation may remain deprived of the guidance.
La-‘allakum tashkuruun (peradventure you may
be thankful), the third aim of the fasting is that, we should thank God
Almighty on His blessings and be grateful to Him for His favors. The meaning of
thankful for blessings of Allah Almighty is that, we should use those blessings
in the determined manner. We should not disdain and be ungrateful for the
facilities, which have been provided to us by Allah Almighty. Moreover, we
should use the powers, virtues, blessings and abilities, given by Him, in good
and correct manner.
