also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of
Israel]
[Tafseer]
In the Qur'an
everything is explained in detail from various points of view, by commands, similitudes, examples,
stories, parables, etc. It does not merely narrate stories or lay down vague abstract propositions. It
gives very detailed help in outward and inner life. One form in which it can be received with ingratitude
is to pay verbal tribute to it but not study it as it ought to be studied (2:121
haqqah
tilawatihi), or to
disobey its precepts or
standards.
Hazrat Umar bin
Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Verily, Allah elevates some people with this Qur'an and
abases others.'' [Muslim
Book 04, Chapter 138, Hadith #
1780].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Isra Ayat 89. We have fully explained
to mankind, in this Qur'an, Only such
people will be elevated who act upon the teachings of the Qur'an and abstain
from what is forbidden by Allah. The Muslims of the early centuries of Islam
were blessed with great honour by Allah because they loved and applied the
Qur'an. Because of this meaningful attachment with the Qur'an, they made great
achievements in religious and worldly spheres. Those who neglected the teachings
of Islam will be disgraced and humiliated. May Allah guide and enable us to
re-establish our contact with the Qur'an so that we can regain our past glory.
Exaltation and humiliation mentioned in the Hadith is bound to happen in both
this life and the Hereafter.
