Commentary
Tazarru-‘an – (humbly), this word has been derived from zar-‘un,
which means “humbleness, self-abasement”. From its origin, a word zaraa-‘at is
more in common use, which means “to consider oneself a trifle, mere nothing and
quite helpless”. Tazarra‘ means “to make one’s condition such
as the helplessness and feebleness manifests from it”.
Khiifatan – (with awe, being afraid of), this word is made from khawf,
and the word under discussion is used for exposing the condition of fear, that
is to say; Remembering Allah Almighty by producing the condition of fear in
oneself.
Quduwwi - it is first part of the day i.e. the morning, a.m.
(also A.M.) – ante-meridium (before noon). The morning time is called gudwatun and bukratun also.
‘Aasaali – this word is plural of ‘asiil. ‘Asiil is
the time when sharpness of the sun has lessened, the evening time is close and
the sun is going to set i.e. second part of the day (p.m. or P.M. –
post-meridium). ‘Aasaali – the last hours of the day.
It appeared
from the previous verse that Holy Qur’an has been sent down in
the world to tell the human being those things which are useful for him.
Therefore, it is incumbent that when the Holy Qur’an is being
recited, it must be listened carefully and whatever is being taught, should be
understood properly. From it, the door of mercy opens and the forgotten useful
matters come to mind. So, Holy Qur’an is a complete Dhikr (Remembrance).
In this verse,
in addition, the importance regarding remembering and making mention to Allah
Almighty every time has been described and instructed its method. It is
commanded: And do you remember your Lord within yourselves thus; expressing
your humility. Reflection of God’s Greatness, Grandeur and His Fear must be in
the hearts. He should be remembered in the heart and by the tongue continuously
but the voice must not be noisy.
For
remembrance of Allah Almighty, particularly morning and evening are
well-adjusted times, although, one must not be careless any time from His heed.
First impression of hearing the Holy Qur’an with attention
becomes obvious in such form that Dhikr (Remembrance) of Allah
Almighty remains current on the tongue of humankind. Along with the tongue, the
heart should continue it also and the voice should not be much high during His
remembrance. Verbal remembrance is performed in the beginning and the heart is
habituated to associate the tongue. After that, the heart precedes in the
remembrance and makes the tongue its companion too. At that time it should be
considered that some negligence has been removed by Allah Almighty and the real
aim of God’s remembrance has been acquired. In the process of time, the
carelessness vanishes and the heart of human seems to be meditated in the
remembrance of Allah Almighty. In such condition, mankind gains the habit of
the Angels (peace be upon Them) who are engaged every time in the Remembrance
of God Almighty.
Farishton se
behtar hae insaan honaa, Magar is mein lagti hae mehnat ziadah.
(The man is better than the angels. But more
effort is required into it).
