[25].Surah Al-Furqan [The Criterion]: Ayat 001



১. পরম কল্যাণময় তিনি যিনি তাঁর বান্দার প্রতি ফয়সালার গ্রন্থ অবর্তীণ করেছেন, যাতে সে  বিশ্বজগতের জন্যে সতর্ককারী হয়

Ayat 1. Blessed be He Who sent down the criterion (of right and wrong, i.e. this Quran) to His slave (Muhammad  SAWW (PBUH) that he may be a warner to the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 

[Tafseer] of Ayat 01. Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures; Tabaraka: the root meaning is "increase" or "abundance." Here that aspect of Allah's dealing with His creatures is emphasized, which shows his abundant goodness to all His creatures, in that He sent the Revelation of His Will, not only in the unlimited Book of Nature, but in a definite Book in human language, which gives clear directions and admonitions to all. The English word "blessed" hardly conveys that meaning, but I can find no other without departing far from established usage. To emphasize the meaning I have explained, I have translated "Blessed is . ..", but "Blessed be . .." is also admissible, as it brings out another shade of meaning, that we praise and bless His Holy Name. That by which we can judge clearly between right and wrong. Here the reference is to the Qur'an, which has already been symbolized by Light This symbol is continued here, and many contrasts are shown, in the midst of which we can distinguish between the true and false by Allah's Light, especially the contrast between righteousness and sin. The pronoun in yakuna may refer to Furqan (the Criterion) or the 'Abd (the Holy Prophet  SAWW(PBUH). In either case the ultimate meaning is the same. The Qur'an is the standing Criterion for judgment between right and wrong.   

Hazrat Usman bin Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "The best amongst you is the one who learn the Qur'an and teach it.''   [Al-Bukhari Book 06, Chapter 61, Hadith # 545]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Furqan Ayat 01."Blessed be He Who sent down the criterion (of right and wrong, i.e. this Quran)" This Hadith tells us excellence of people who learn Quran and then spend there time teaching to others. Only such people will be elevated who act upon the teachings of the Qur'an and abstain from what is forbidden by Allah. The Muslims of the early centuries of Islam were blessed with great honour by Allah because they loved and applied the Qur'an. Because of there meaningful attachment with the Qur'an, they made great achievements in religious and worldly spheres. Those who neglected the teachings of Quran & Islam will be disgraced and humiliated. May Allah guide and enable us to re-establish our contact with the Qur'an so that we can regain our past glory.
