Commentary
Kitaab and Qur-‘aan –
(The Scripture and Reading), these both words have passed earlier. The
origin of Kitaab is kataba, which means “to write
and pair in literary style”. The origin of the word Qur-‘aan is “qar-‘un”,
which means “to add up”. Qur-‘aan is a collection of words and
composition for reciting.
Mubiin means
luminous, clear, manifest and evident, that is to say, nothing is complicated
in it. It can be read easily. The word ‘Al with the word Kitaab,
and tanviin {doubling the short vowels at the end of Arabic
word, which is called shadd (stress) also e.g. zam-nan,
takh-mii-nan etc.} on the word Qur-‘aan, both are for
exposing their magnificence and unequalled-ness. That is to say, there is no
Book in the world; written with such order and arrangement, and like this, for
readers; more easy and clear mode of expression than it, does not exist in any
book of the world. Holy Qur-’aan was revealed in the world by
degrees, according to situations. But in fact, those were verses of a Written
Arranged Scripture.
In the Lawh Mahfuz (a
Table on which the destinies of the world since its creation are written) this
Holy Word did exist in written form duly organized and arranged properly, but
at the time of its descending, sometimes any verse and sometimes any Chapter of
it, used to reveal. And as soon as it used to reveal, the people used to begin
reciting it. Therefore, when it was being revealed, at that time it was only in
the form of Qur-‘aan. And after descending the entire, it was
composed as it was written in the Tablet of the Safe (Lawh Mahfuz). So
it became a Scripture. Now it is a Scripture too as well as Qur-aan.
Now it is recited according to that order in which it is written.
In the beginning of maximum
Chapters, it is caused to remember at first that these verses, which you have
been reciting, are not conjectural compositions. But these are verses of a
complete, collective, compiled and organized Scripture, which are being
revealed step by step. When these all will be revealed, then will be written in
the form of a Book, and its fluency of speech, rhetoric, elegance of narration
and capability of guidance will astonish the readers with wonder.
Therefore you should not put
off these verses considering them ordinary and disjoined dictation, but you
should hear them carefully and try to understand the meanings of life from
their fluency of speech and elegance of narration.
