Ayat 113. And thus We have sent it down as a Qur'an in Arabic,
and have explained therein in detail the warnings, in order that they may fear
Allah, or that it may cause them to have a lesson from it (or to have the honour
for believing and acting on its teachings).
Ayat 114. Then High above all be Allah, the True King. And be
not in haste (O Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) with the Qur'an before its revelation is
completed to you, and say: "My Lord! Increase me in knowledge."
[Tafseer] Thus have We sent this down - an
Arabic Quran - and explained therein in detail some of the warnings, in order
that they may fear Allah, or that it may cause their remembrance (of
Him). The
Qur'an is in clear Arabic, so that even an unlearned people like the Arabs might
understand and profit by its warnings, and the rest of the world may learn
through them, as they did in the first few centuries of Islam and may do again
when we Muslims show ourselves worthy to explain and exemplify its meaning. The
evil are warned that they may repent: the good are confirmed in their Faith and
strengthened by their remembrance of Him. High above all is Allah, the King,
the Truth! Be not in haste with the Quran before its revelation to thee is
completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me in
knowledge." Allah is above every human event or desire. His purpose is
universal. But He is the Truth, the absolute Truth: and His kingdom is the true
kingdom, that can carry out His will. That Truth unfolds itself gradually, as it
did in the gradual revelation of the Qur'an to the Prophet. But even after it
was completed in a volume, its true meaning and purpose only gradually unfold
themselves to any given individual or nation. No one should be impatient about
it On the contrary, we should always pray for increase in our own knowledge,
which can never at any given moment be
complete.
Hazrat Abu Musa
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "The similitude of guidance
and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like a rain which has fallen on
some ground. A fertile part of earth has absorbed water and brought forth much
grass and herbs. Another part, which is solid, held the water and Allah benefits
men thereby, who drank and gave others to drink, and used it for irrigation. But
some of it has fallen on a portion of sandy land which neither retains the water
nor produces herbage. Such is the likeness of the man who understands the
religion of Allah and who gets benefit of what Allah has sent me with; he learns
and teaches others. It is also the likeness of the man who neither raises his
head on that account (meaning he does not benefit from what the Prophet
[SAWW](PBUH) was sent with) nor accepts Allah's Guidance with which I am
sent".
[Al-Bukhari Book 01,Chapter 03, Hadith #
079]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Taha Ayat 113."sent it down as a
Qur'an in Arabic, and have explained therein in detail the warnings" In this Hadith the guidance and knowledge which was sent to
mankind through the Prophet (PBUH) is compared to the rain which is beneficial,
because this knowledge resuscitates the dead hearts as does the rain to a barren
land. One who makes use of this knowledge is likened to a good soil, and one who
acquires this knowledge and imparts it to others but does not put it into
practice is considered akin to a hard land which holds water and other people
utilize it. A person who neither learns it nor acts upon it is like a desolate
land which neither holds water nor produces anything. Such a person is the worst
of all because he neither himself benefits from it nor lets others make use of
it. This Hadith induces one to acquire knowledge, impart it to others, put it
into actual practice and warns people from neglecting this duty.
