Way of knowing Allah

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘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)

Natural desire of the human being is that he should know Allah Almighty. However, it is some other matter, if he becomes indolent due to being involved in the worldly works and business, otherwise, wherever he got some time for thinking, these thoughts besieged him there: Who is my Creator? What is this sky? Who did originate the sun, moon, stars, earth, mountains, rivers, seas etc.? Who does provide me food, water, clothes and usable things?

The Devil desires to keep the human being away from such thoughts. His only attempt is to keep the mankind entangled in the worldly works, relishes and lusts in such a manner that the human being may not think on these questions. So at first, he wants to stop the mankind thinking by answering these questions ordinarily and misguides: These things have been coming eternally as they are and will go forth always in the same way. You should try only to reap advantage from these things. He says to the human being: O mankind! Behold! What sorts of and how much relishes and pleasures are for you in the world? Give up false thinking and try to enjoy the world.

But there are some such people, who think deeply about above mentioned questions. For them Satan thinks that they should be involved in any such difficulty, from which they may not come out, because the aim is that they may not know Allah (God) Almighty. The Devil tries his best to keep the human being away from Allah and that Path, which leads straight forward to Him.

For protecting the mankind from these tricks of Satan, Allah Almighty sent down the Holy Qur’an, the actual object of which is that the humankind should recognize Allah Almighty. So He guides him to think deeply upon the above mentioned questions, while the Devil prevents him from reflecting into these matters and wishes to keep the mankind entrapped in worldly life and its relishes, or he teaches that philosophy and science can be useful in all matters also without Allah.

If we meditate in the previous verses, we may understand clearly that life of this world is of no value. After this, the life of the Hereafter is the actual life. The person, who will recognize it, will certainly believe in Holy Qur’an. And then, the Noble Qur’an will describe them that nothing has been kept in the world. The real thing is worship of Allah Almighty and the prayer is a form of worship. The prayer will prevent him from being ensnared every time in the world and will open the Way of Knowing Allah. That person, who will offer the prayer, will understand that it will become difficult to be saved, if he considered the worldly work everything, and after that there will be nothing for him but severity and torment.

There is no doubt that every animate being have to die. While the death is beyond question, then why should not be died in such a manner that the soul come out from the body easily and get immediately ease and comfort forever. Those people, who will reflect in the verses of previous two sections, they will find the simple answers of above questions very soon, summary of which is: Allah Almighty created the mankind and the entire things of the world too for his rest and ease. But the human being has not been born for the only purpose that he would have been entangled in the world. Moreover, he has been created for the reason that he should know Allah and worship Him. He should know it as own betterment of the both worlds, otherwise he is in danger. The end will be the worst.

Commentary

After describing the Characteristics of Almighty and Glorious Allah, it makes everyone to understand that they should know God Almighty. It is obvious that a specific form of any thing comes to mind, when particular signs of that thing are told properly, and that is so clear that it can be hinted towards that figure.

Those works, which have been described in the first Section, are of such specialty that none can perform them save Allah Almighty. Therefore, the Conception of Allah comes to mind obviously, if we think deeply upon those creatures (like the creation of mankind and animals, heavens, earth, light, darkness, vegetation and minerals etc.). This verse has begun with the word ZaalikumUllaahu  Rabbu-kum (Such is Allah, your Lord) by pointing out towards that conception. Although, this conception is in our heart but the Conception of Whom is this, is the most Exalted and Highest, and according to His Greatness and Magnificence, is far away.

It is commanded that “such is Allah, your Lord” Who has entire those Qualities, which has been explained earlier. There is none to be worshipped except Him, so the Worshipped is Allah only. He is the Creator of all things, so you should bow before Him only for worship. Only He takes care of all things for everyone. You can imagine about Him by meditating in His attributes and creations, but your existing eyes are unable to see Him. He is well Aware of your eyes’ power, form and built, because His Praise is Khabiir (the Aware). Whereas your present eyes cannot see even the air etc. then how can those see Allah, Who is completely Latiif (the Subtile) too in real meaning?      

At another place in the Holy Qur’an (in Surah ‘IKHLAAS -112), Allah Almighty commands: 

Say: He is Allah, the One.  Allah, the eternally Besought of all! He begetheth not nor was begotten. And there is non-comparable unto Him.

God has no children - Quran Chapter 6 – 101 (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-857) - درس قرآن

God has no children

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘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)

    بَدِيعُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لَهُۥ وَلَدٌوَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُۥ صَٰحِبَةٌ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ 101

101.  The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can He have a child, when there is for Him no consort? And He created all things and is Aware of all things.

101.  Badii-‘us-samaawaati  wal-‘arz.  ‘Annaa  yakuunu  lahuu  waladunw-wa  lam  takul-lahuu  saa-hibah.  Wa  khalaqa  kulla  shay’.  Wa  Huwa  bi-kulli  shay-‘in  ‘Aliim.

Commentary

Badii-‘un – (That, Who originates), like Samiii’, ‘Aliim, Khabiir and Basiir, it is also an adjective, and derived from the word bada’. Bada’ means a new thing, which does not have any sample from the very first. The word Bid-‘ah has been derived from it too, which means “that new and curios thing, example of which does not exist in the religion”. So Badiii’ means – Such Originator, Who creates any new thing without any specimen. Making such a thing is called ‘Abdaaa’. From the same, the subject is Mabda’, which means “The Inventor of any new thing. That Person, Who has this characteristic permanently, is called Badiii’.

Saa-hibatun – (any female companion), it is the feminine subject and derived from the word Sahab. The source sahab means “to accompany, to live with”. Suh-bat is gotten source from it. Hear Saa-hibatun aims zawj, which means “a wife”.

The Epithets of God Almighty were described in the previous entire Section, tokens of which are obvious in the world. Everyone can know well Allah Almighty, if consider thoroughly these portents. In the first three verses of this Section, some more Beauties have been described, from which, estimating the Divine Power of Allah Almighty becomes easy.

It has been commanded in this verse that Allah Almighty is the Originator of the heavens and the earth without seeing any sample, the Creator of every creature and the Knower of everything. Then talk of those people has been rejected, who say unknowingly that God Almighty has any child.

Allah Almighty commands: How much strange things are - the sky, which you see over your head and the earth beneath your feet? Allah Almighty has originated them without observing any sample. Like this, He has created every smallest and biggest thing in the universe and He is the Knower of everything eternally and in accord with that Knowledge, He created all of them.

When He is Able to create everything by saying only one word “Kun” (Be), then, we should say that certainly, everything is His creature. The son, the daughter, who are children of any male plus female in this world, is produced with much strife. A wife is required for it. The children cannot be born without any wife. The wife is female gender of the husband and she is equal to him in every respect.

It is the only difference among husband and wife that he is male and she is female. Whereas, there is nothing equal to Allah Almighty, and nothing has any smallest similarity with Him. Then how can be His wife? Allah Almighty creates everything with His command, therefore, everything, which exists in this world, has been created by Him, and none is equal to Him.

Commentary

Allah Almighty has described such portents of His Cognizance in these verses which belong to the earth, fruit and growing the grains. Allah Almighty sends down the rain, which cannot be sent by any other, and due to which the vegetables, the green trees and plants are produced.

                                                            

It is commanded: You looked upon the condition of plants and trees of grains and fruit thereof, when they bear fruit and grain, and upon their ripening. Then you gather by breaking them and eat. As human being is helpless in producing the grains and fruit, like this he cannot interfere in the process of their ripening. It is also in the Divine Power of Allah Almighty only.

It is great, if you think, because if the fruit and grain are un-ripened, those are useless for the human being. Look at these people! They ascribe themselves the Angels, the jinn etc. as partners unto Allah Almighty, leaving such Greatest Merciful and Protector, whereas these entire are His creature, and He created them with His own Omnipotence, without any kind of help from any other.

Some people say: The Angels, the Mankind or the Jinn etc. are sons and daughters of Allah Almighty. It all is their ignorance and they impute falsely. Glorified be Allah and High Exalted above all that they ascribe unto Him. They should try to understand Him correctly by observing these portents.

Commentary

Some more portents have been described in this verse. The human being can know Allah Almighty by thinking deeply into them. Humankind has been accustomed to eat fruit, vegetables and grains etc. grown from the earth but thinks never: How these things were grown and Who created them?

                                                                  

It has been mentioned in this verse that there is no human intervention in the processing period with effect from sowing the seed until ripening the harvest and bearing the fruit. So, the mankind should think: Who does it entire? Allah Almighty sends down the rain, due to which the seed and the sapling takes root in the earth and collects into itself necessary things from its surroundings. Then lush green fields begin to bloom. The plants and trees of the grapes, the olive and the pomegranate become productive and fruitful. Bunches grow in the date trees and then we see the dates everywhere up and down. Sometimes these uncountable fruit have same color, shape and taste but sometimes are different from one another. This all is done by Allah only. You cannot interfere in it.

Commentary

Musta-qarrun – (a habitation), it is an adverb, which has come out from the word ‘istaqraar. Its origin is qaraar. Qaraar means “rest, fixedness, firmness”. ‘istaqraar means “to stay”. Mustaqar means “place of staying”.

Mustaw-da-‘un – (the place where the trust is deposited), it is also an adverb and it has been derived from the word ‘istii-daa-‘un, which has come out from the word wadii-‘at. Wadii-‘at means “a thing; which has been deposited as a trust”. ‘Istii-daa-‘un means “to keep a thing as a trust.

Allah Almighty commands: The stars, which you look at night, have been set by Him. Those are useful for you to evaluate about the correct way in the jungle and desert, where nothing exists except barren field, and in the sea, where nothing can be seen but only water. The observers of the stars become able to know the direction of their destination. Allah Almighty explains the means of His Revelation and the way; how to seek Him, for those, who desire to know Him. It is not too much difficult to know Allah Almighty, if the people reflect into them.

Now you should think: Who did create you? How were you born and where will you go? Behold! You entire were created by Allah Almighty and you all are children of one man i.e. Adam (peace be upon Him). You were born in such a manner that at first you were kept in the womb of mother like a trust. You were expanded there gradually. After maturity, you came in the world. You stayed here for some specified period. Then you have to join your grave, where you will remain until God Almighty desires.

These entire places are ordinary. You will stay in the Paradise or the Hell after coming out from the grave. Anyone place from those will be your permanent dwelling station. Allah Almighty has manifested and disclosed clearly these all tokens for those who think and want to know.

Commentary

Faaliqun – (The Cleaver), it is the Subject from the word falaqa, which means “to cleave any thing and bring forth a new thing from it”. In these verses, this word has been used at two places. At first place, it means “to split the grain of corn and the date-stone (for sprouting), from which a sapling and a tree comes out. At the second place, it means “to cleave the darkness of the night and bring forth the dawn from it”.

Sakana – it is the thing, by staying in or near which, one gets all sorts of comfort. This word has come out from sakuun. Sakuun means “to stay or settlement”.

Hus-baan – (for reckoning), it aims that the movement of the sun and the moon has been fixed in such a way that by them we compute the time.

It was described in the previous Section that the people, who do not accept the Noble Qur’an as the Book of Allah Almighty, they have not known God Almighty as it was necessary to be known. They do not know: How the Greatest is His Omnipotence? He has created the entire world and established a system for it.

It was compulsory in accordance with the arrangements that Holy Qur’an was to be sent down for Guidance of the human beings towards the Straight Path and That should be brought by His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). Then characteristics of the Holy Qur’an have been described. After that, the Remarkable Wonders of the Divine Power of Allah Almighty have been mentioned for making the people to understand, so that they may know His Omnipotence Who has established the arrangement of the world, and get rid of this misunderstanding that there is nothing in this system for the guidance of human being.

It is commanded: Behold the Nature of God Almighty. If the grain of corn is sown in the earth, that is cracked and a sapling of the grain comes out from that seed of the grain. The date-stone is cleaved, high and heavy trees grow from it. The dead (egg) comes-forth from the living and the living comes out from the egg. This entire is done by Allah Almighty. Sometimes we see and hear that a child is born from the dead woman and on the contrary to it.  

Like this, God Almighty cleaves the darkness of the night, causes to appear from it the daybreak. The sun and the moon revolve with measure and the time is reckoned by them in the world. How do you err in knowing God Almighty, while you see all of these with your open eyes? These things explain every matter clearly that a Mighty, a Wise, a Powerful and Omnipotent has created them measuring correctly.
