Commentary
‘
The
Ways of recognizing and worshiping Allah Almighty have been described in this
Section. First three verses draw attention of mankind towards such things which
are above the earth and some of which are visible by the human eye, whereas
some of them are hidden from human eye, where our ordinary eye does not work.
The mankind has been trying to investigate them since long, and has discovered
many such things, with which his sight may reach very far. These things which
are above the earth are called Kaa-e-naatul Jaww (those all
things which exist and are visible in between the heaven and the earth.
That
was sufficient to confound the sense of human being which was visible with
ordinary sight. Whereas, which can be seen easily now with binoculars and
telescopes, that is not only astonishing but is horrible too. The Belief of
sensible people increases continuously in Allah Almighty and His Omnipotence at
the time of every new discovery. And the confidence outdoes regarding this
matter that really this Command of Holy Qur’an that: The study
of those all things which exist and are visible in between the heaven and the
earth; strengthens the Faith, is entirely correct. As these all things of the
universe are sources of the Cognition of Allah Almighty at their own, but here,
the main aim is to draw attention towards the administrative influence, which
those things put on the earth. Since the dwelling place of the human being is
the earth, so; that thing which affects good on the earth, that is appearance
of the Mercy of its Lord for it. By knowing them, perception regarding thanks
giving to our Lord is produced, which persuades the human beings towards the
obedience of their God (Almighty).
In
the last two verses, those blessings have been mentioned which Allah Almighty
has revealed for the benefit of His servants i.e. mankind especially on the
earth and which can be understood easily by the human being with ordinary
attention. When he will understand it, then it is sure that he will be thankful
to his Lord, and this thanks-giving is actual reason of his deliverance. These
blessings have two aspects:
·
Apparent
·
Hidden
Apparent
advantage is: Pleasant seasonal winds blow and bring the clouds besieging them
from all around and where it needed, unite them. The water rains from those
clouds. When that raining descends on the land, the dead earth revives. The
greenness begins to appear and after a few days; luxuriant crops begin to
bloom. Flowers and fruit begin to come on the plants and the trees and after a
few days, enough stocks of grains, harvest and fruit are collected. And the
things for physical rest and facility of the human being are supplied. It rains
due to useful effects of the things held between the heaven and the earth. From
the process under discussion, the signs of life appear and from its production,
the body of mankind, which has been created from the earth, develops.
Indication
towards hidden aspect exists in this command that: Thus (like the earth) shall
We bring forth the dead; that haply ye may remember.
Human being is collection of
body and soul, and the soul is actual life. Bringing it to life needs: Angels,
Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) and the Scriptures of Allah
Almighty. It rains Guidance by means of Them. As good land gains advantage from
the rain, similarly; good mankind reaps advantage from the rain of Guidance,
whereas bad individual remains debarred like bad earth.
