২০. তোমাদের প্রতি আল্লাহর অনুগ্রহ ও দয়া না থাকিলে তোমাদের কেহই অব্যাহতি পাইতে না এবং আল্লাহ দয়ার্দ্র ও পরম দয়ালু।
Ayat 20. And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on
you, (Allah would have hastened the punishment upon you). And that Allah is full
of kindness, Most Merciful.
[Tafseer] of ayat
20.
Were it not for
the grace and mercy of Allah on you, and that Allah is full of kindness and
mercy, (ye would be ruined indeed). Note the
refrain that comes four times in this passage, "Were it not for the grace and
mercy of Allah. . ." Each time it has a different application. (1) In 24:10, it
was in connection with the accusation of infidelity by one of the spouses
against the other: they were both reminded of Allah's mercy and warned against
suspicion and untruth. (2) In 24:14, the Believers were told to be wary of false
rumors lest they should cause pain and division among themselves: it is Allah's
grace that keeps them united. (3) Here is an admonition for the future: there
may be conspiracies and snares laid by Evil against simple people: it is Allah's
grace that protects them. (4) In 24:21, the general warning is directed to the
observation of purity in act and in thought, concerning one's self and
concerning others: it is only Allah's grace that can keep that purity spotless,
for He hears prayers and knows of all the snares that are spread in the path of
the
good.
Hazrat Abu
Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) used to urge (the people) to perform (optional Tarawih) prayer
at night during the month of Ramadan. He did not order them or make it
obligatory on them. He
[SAWW](PBUH)
said, "Whosoever performs (optional Tarawih) prayers at night during the month
of Ramadan, with Faith and in the hope of receiving Allah's reward, will have
his past sins forgiven.''
[Muslim
Book 04,
Chapter 52, Hadith #
210].
Lesson : as mentioned above
in Surah An-Nur
Ayat 20."And that Allah is full of kindness, Most Merciful." This Hadith highlights the following points:
1. Qiyam in
the month of Ramadan is a much-stressed act and has great importance from the
viewpoint of reward and award.
2. The sins
which are pardoned through it are minor sins because major sins are not forgiven
unless one makes sincere repentance and compensates those whom he has
wronged.
3. That Qiyam during the month of
Ramadan was the practice of the Prophet
[SAWW]((PBUH). During the course of a Ramadan, he made Qiyam for three nights
consecutively, that is, he performed this Nafl Salat in congregation with his
Companions. On the fourth night, when his Companions gathered for this purpose
he said to them, "I am afraid it will be made obligatory for you.'' So, in spite
of their desire to join him in this prayer, he did not lead the Salat that
night. How many Rak`ah did he perform in congregation in these three nights is a
pertinent question
here.
