[26].Surah Ash-Shuara [The Poets]: Ayat 01-03

১. ত্বা, সীন, মীম।
২. এগুলো সুস্পষ্ট কিতাবের আয়াত। 
৩. তারা বিশ্বাস করে না বলে আপনি হয়তো মর্মব্যথায় আত্নঘাতী হবেন। 

Ayat 1. Tâ-Sin-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.]

Ayat 2. These are the Verses of the manifest Book [this Qur'an, which was promised by Allah in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), makes things clear].

Ayat 3. It may be that you (O Muhammad  SAWW(PBUH) are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers [in your Risalah (Messenger ship) and in your Message of Islamic Monotheism].  

[Tafseer] of Ayat 1. Ta. Sin. Mim. This is a combination of three Abbreviated Letters, as to which, generally, This particular combination occurs here and at the head of S. 28, while the intervening Surah 27 has it in the syncopated form Ta'Sin. None of the explanatory conjectures which 1 have seen carries conviction for me. If the letters stand for Tur Sinin (Mount Sinai) and Musa (Moses PBUH), whose story fills a large part of this Surah, why is the letter Mim omitted in S. 27. where the same meaning would apply? There is, however, one fact to which I should like to draw attention. There are eleven sections in this Surah, and eight of them end with the word Rahim (with the final Mim). The three exceptions are sections 2 and 3, and section 11. But sections 2 and 3 are part of the story of Moses, which is completed in section 4, and that ends with "Rahim", The main argument in section 11 ends at verse 217, which ends with Rahim. We can say that the whole Surah is based on a refrain in the word "Rahim". Whether this has any bearing on our present enquiry I cannot say. My own position is that where we have material, we should pursue our researches, but we should never be dogmatic in such matters, as some Mysteries can never be solved by mere research.

[Tafseer] of Ayat 2. These are verses of the Book that makes (things) clear. The comparison of Allah's elevations with Light is continued.

[Tafseer] of Ayat 3. It may be thou frettest thy soul with grief, that they do not become Believers. "They" are the Pagans of Makkah. From a human point of view it was a great disappointment to Allah's Messenger in the middle period of his Makkan ministry that the Makkans could not be brought to believe in the Truth.  

Hazrat Talhah bin Ubaidullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: At the sight of the new moon (of the lunar month), the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) used to supplicate: "Allahumma ahillahu `alaina bil-amni wal-iman, was-salamati wal-Islam, Rabbi wa Rabbuk-Allah, Hilalu rushdin wa khairin (O Allah, let this moon appear on us with security and Iman; with safety and Islam. (O moon!) Your Rubb and mine is Allah. May this moon be bringing guidance and good).''

[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 3451]. 

Lesson : After sighting the moon, one should recite the prayer which was recited by the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH). The prayer cited in the text of this Hadith is one of them.
