Ayat 7. And if you speak (the invocation) aloud, then
verily, He knows the secret and that which is yet more hidden.
Ayat 8. Allah! Lâ ilâhla illa Huwa (none has
the right to be worshipped but He)! To Him belong the Best
Names.
[Tafseer]
If thou pronounce the word
aloud, (it is no matter): for verily He know what is secret and what is yet more
hidden. There
are two implications. (1) Whatever you profess, or say aloud, gives no
information to Allah: He knows not only what is secret and perhaps unknown to
others, but what people take special care to conceal. (2) It docs you no good to
make insincere professions: your hidden motives are known to Him, Who alone
matters. (3) If you read the Word of Allah, or if you pray to Allah, it is not
necessary to raise your voice: in either case, Allah will judge you by your
inner thoughts which are like an open book to Him. Allah. there is no god but He! To
Him belong the most Beautiful Names. Allah is
all-in-all, and the most beautiful things we can think of arc referable to Him.
His names refer to His attributes which arc like titles of Honour and
Glory.
Hazrat Abu Musa
Al-Ashari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We accompanied the Messenger
of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) in a journey, and when we climbed up a height, we
proclaimed aloud: "La ilaha illallah (There is no true god except Allah)'' and
"Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greatest).'' The Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) admonished us saying, "O people, take it easy. He Whom you are
calling is not deaf or absent. He is with you (i.e., by His Knowledge), He is
Hearing and He is Near.''
[Al-Bukhari Book 35, Chapter 13, Hadith #
6528]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Taha Ayat ."And if you speak (the
invocation) aloud, then verily, He knows" This Hadith tells us that in the pronouncement of the fundamental
testification of Islam: "La ilaha illallah (there is no true god except Allah)''
(Tahlil) - and His Magnification: "Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greatest)'' (Takbir) -
the voices of the Companions became a bit louder during a journey. The Prophet
[SAWW](PBUH) disapproved of it and commanded them not to put themselves to
hardship by remembering Allah in a loud voice, and directed to do that calmly in
a dignified, low voice.
