Commentary
‘As-tami-‘uu – (give ear, hear with care), it is a word of command. Origin
of it is‘astamaaa’ which has been derived from sama’. Sama’ means
“ear and power of hear”. ‘Astamaaa’ means “to make such power
full useful”.
‘Ansituu – (pay heed, be silent), it is a word of command also which
is from ‘ansaat. Origin of it is nasat which means
“silence”. ‘Ansaat means “to be quiet”.
Turhamuun – (ye may obtain mercy). This word has been derived
from Raham. Rahmat is another form of the same word. These
both words are in common use, so nobody thinks in the meanings of these
words. Raham means “to give the necessitous immediately that
thing which is necessary for him/her”. Rahmat is the thing
with which; the necessity is fulfilled immediately. An individual gives
anything to someone feeling pity. God Almighty gives His every creature with
His tremendous generosity; every that thing which is necessary for it.
Allah Almighty
gave Holy Qur’an to the human beings so that they may fulfill
their religious and worldly necessities. It is a Miracle of His Pity, and the
Holy Qur’an is a Mercy; given by Him, from which; every mankind can
reap advantage. And in fact, Holy Qur’an is Mercy for only
that individual who reaps advantage from It.
In this verse,
it has been analyzed “how to reap advantage from Holy Qur’an” so
that the Mercy is established, as though; first step of reaping advantage from
it is this. It is commanded that Holy Qur’an is Guidance and
Mercy for its believers. But the condition is that one should try to reap
advantage from it. Now; if you wish to reap advantage from it, at first; you
have to do the following:
1. Give ear to (listen to) it when Holy Qur’an is
being recited and try to understand that; what is it saying to you?
2. Pay heed (be silent entirely), give up talking,
telling or looking hither and thither, because by doing so, the attention is divided
and although the sound comes in the ear but one cannot understand its meanings.
Listening to that way, Holy Qur’an can
be means of Mercy for you, that is to say; you can get everything from it
useful to you and It can help you in every difficulty. The Companions (may
Allah be pleased with all of Them) remembered this command. They used to engage
their full attention on listening when Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) used to recite the Holy Qur’an.
As soon as they used to hear, its meanings were lodged into their hearts. If
they felt any difficulty in understanding anywhere, then after recitation,
everyone used to ask immediately and they used to bear in mind which response
they received. It was the result that Holy Qur’an guided them
in all matters and they used to act according to Its commands. The world knows
that success, which they gained in the world and the Hereafter.
