Ayat
63. See you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the
sky, and then the earth becomes green? Verily, Allah is the Most Kind and
Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all things.
Ayat 64. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens
and all that is on the earth. And verily, Allah He is Rich (Free of all wants),
Worthy of all praise.
[Tafseer]
Sees thou not that Allah sends
down rain from the sky, and forthwith the earth becomes clothed with green? for
Allah is He Who understands the finest mysteries, and is well-acquainted (with
them). Latif, as a name of Allah, is
as difficult to define in words as the idea it seeks to represent is difficult
to grasp in our minds. It implies: (1) fine, subtle (the basic meaning); (2) so
fine and subtle as to be imperceptible to human sight; (3) so pure as to be
incomprehensible; (4) with sight so perfect as to see and understand the finest
subtleties and mysteries. (5) so kind and gracious as to
bestow gifts of the most refined kind; extraordinarily gracious and
understanding. No. 4 is the predominant meaning here and in 12:100; Nos. 2 and 3
in 6:103; and No. 5 in 42:19; but every shade of meaning must be borne in mind
in each case, as a subsidiary factor in the spiritual melody.
Ayat 64. To Him belongs all
that is in the heavens and on earth: for verily Allah,- He is free of all wants,
Worthy of all Praise. Each of
the verses 22:61 -63 mentioned two attributes of Allah with reference to the
contents of that verse. This verse now sums up the whole argument, and the two
attributes with which it closes sum up the idea by which we can understand
Allah's goodness. Allah's loving kindness and mercies are not like those of
human creatures who all depend upon one another, and often expect some kindness
or recognition in return. Allah is above all wants and depends in no way
whatever on His creatures. His mercies have therefore a special quality, which
we cannot describe except by gratefully singing the praises of
Allah.
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 Al-Hajj Ayat 63."Allah sends down water
(rain) from the sky, and then the earth becomes green? Verily, Allah is the Most
Kind and Courteous, " 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.
