৪০. অথবা (তাদের কর্ম) প্রমত্ত সমূদ্রের বুকে গভীর অন্ধকারের ন্যায়, যাকে উদ্বেলিত করে তরঙ্গের উপর তরঙ্গ, যার উপর ঘন কালো মেঘ আছে। একের উপর এক অন্ধকার। যখন সে তার হাত বের করে, তখন তাকে একেবারেই দেখতে পায় না। আল্লাহ যাকে জ্যোতি দেন না, তার কোন জ্যোতিই নেই।
Ayat 40. Or [the state of a disbeliever] is like the
darkness in a vast deep sea, overwhelmed with a great wave topped by a great
wave, topped by dark clouds, darkness, one above another, if a man stretches out
his hand, he can hardly see it! And he for whom Allah has not appointed light,
for him there is no
light.
[Tafseer] of ayat
40.
Or
(the Unbelievers´ state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean,
overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of
darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see
it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light! What
a graphic picture of darkness is the depths of the Ocean, wave upon wave, and on
top of all, dense dark clouds! There is so little light even in ordinary depths
of the Ocean that fishes which live there lose their eyes as useless organs. For
lines 4-5, I am indebted to Gardiner's Translation of Ghazari's Mishkat A
contrast to "Light upon Light" in 24:35 above. The true source of Light in the
world of Reality is Allah, and anyone who cuts himself off from the Light is in
utter darkness indeed, for it is the negation of the only true Light, and not
merely relative darkness, like that which we see, say, in the shadows of
moonlight.
Hazrat Aishah (May
Allah be pleased with her) reported: When the last ten nights (of Ramadan) would
begin, the Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) would keep awake at night (for prayer and devotion), awaken his
family and prepare himself to be more diligent in worship.
[Al-Bukhari Book 03, Chapter 32, Hadith #
241].
Lesson : as
mentioned above The entire month of Ramadan is a spring season
for virtues, worship and obedience of Allah, but its last ten days are the peak
of this season of worship. Therefore, one must strive hard in the last ten days
and nights of this month to follow the practice of the Prophet
[SAWW](PBUH), to seek the Pleasure of Allah and to attain the benefits of
Lailat-ul-Qadr, which occurs during this period. The Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) used to make special
arrangement for observing Itikaf, and we must also follow this practice of
his.
