[37].Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks): Ayat 149-150


১৪৯. এবার তাদেরকে জিজ্ঞেস করুনতোমার পালনকর্তার জন্যে কি কন্যা সন্তান রয়েছে এবং তাদের জন্যে কি পুত্র-সন্তান। 
১৫০. না কি আমি তাদের উপস্থিতিতে ফেরেশতাগণকে নারীরূপে সৃষ্টি করেছি?

Ayat 149. Now ask them (O Muhammad image001.jpg [SAWW] (PBUH): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"
Ayat 150. Or did Allah create the angels females while they were witnesses?

Tafseer of Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks) Ayat 149. Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?- Allah begin a new argument here. The Pagan Arabs called angels daughters of Allah. They themselves were ashamed of having daughters, and preferred to have sons, and Ayat 150. Or that Allah created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?

Hazrat Abu Masud Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allahimage001.jpg[SAWW](PBUH) said, "One of the admonitions of the previous Prophets which has been conveyed to people is that if you have no modesty, you can do whatever you like.'' [Bukhari Book # 04, Chapter 56 Hadith # 691].

Lesson: This does not mean that doing everything is allowed for a shameless person. It is like giving information that when a person loses the feeling of shame, then he does not mind doing anything. For this reasons the western nations intend to finish the feeling of shame and remorse among the Muslims, which is a landmark and a criterion of Islam. They want to do away with this criterion so that Muslims may indulge in shameless things happily. Unfortunately, the western people are succeeding in their designs and the Islamic social life is also tending to be shameless like its western counterpart.

[37].Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks): Ayat 139-148


১৩৯. আর ইউনুসও ছিলেন পয়গম্বরগণের একজন
১৪০. যখন পালিয়ে তিনি বোঝাই নৌকায় গিয়ে পৌঁছেছিলেন
১৪১. অতঃপর লটারী (সুরতি) করালে তিনি দোষী সাব্যস্ত হলেন
১৪২. অতঃপর একটি মাছ তাঁকে গিলে ফেললতখন তিনি অপরাধী গণ্য হয়েছিলেন
১৪৩. যদি তিনি আল্লাহর তসবীহ পাঠ না করতেন,
১৪৪. তবে তাঁকে কেয়ামত দিবস পর্যন্ত মাছের পেটেই থাকতে হত
১৪৫. অতঃপর আমি তাঁকে এক বিস্তীর্ণ-বিজন প্রান্তরে নিক্ষেপ করলামতখন তিনি ছিলেন রুগ্ন
১৪৬. আমি তাঁর উপর এক লতাবিশিষ্ট বৃক্ষ উদগত করলাম
১৪৭. এবং তাঁকেলক্ষ বা ততোধিক লোকের প্রতি প্রেরণ করলাম
১৪৮. তারা বিশ্বাস স্থাপন করল অতঃপর আমি তাদেরকে নির্ধারিত সময় পর্যন্ত জীবনোপভোগ করতে দিলাম

Ayat 139. And, verily, Yunus PBUH (Jonah) was one of the Messengers.
Ayat 140. When he ran to the laden ship,
Ayat 141. He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers,
Ayat 142. Then a (big) fish swallowed him and he had done an act worthy of blame.
Ayat 143. Had he not been of them who glorify Allah,
Ayat 144. He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.
Ayat 145. But Allah cast him forth on the shore while he was sick,
Ayat 146. And Allah caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.
Ayat 147. And Allah sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more.
Ayat 148. And they believed; so Allah gave them enjoyment for a while.

Tafseer of Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks) Ayat 139 to 148. So also was Jonah PBUH among those sent (by Allah). For illustrative passages, see 21:87-88, and 68:48-50. Jonah's mission was to the city of Nineveh, then steeped in wickedness. He was rejected and he denounced Allah's wrath on them, but they repented and obtained Allah's forgiveness. But Jonah PBUH "departed in wrath" (21:87), forgetting that Allah has Mercy as well as forgiveness. See the notes following, Cf. 10:98. When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden, Jonah ran away from Nineveh like a slave from captivity. He should have stuck to his post and merged his own will in Allah's Will. He was hasty, and went off to take a ship. As if he could escape from Allah's Plan! 141. He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned: The ship was fully laden and met foul weather. The sailors, according to their superstition, wanted to find out who was responsible for the ill-luck: a fugitive slave would cause such ill-luck. The lot fell on Jonah, and he was cast off. 142. Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame. The rivers of Mesopotamia have some huge fishes. If it were in an open northern sea, it might be a whale. The locality is not mentioned: in the Old Testament he is said to have taken ship in the port of Joppa (now Jaffa ) in the Mediterranean (Jonah. 1:3), which would be not less than 600 miles from Nineveh . The Tigris river, mentioned by some of our Commentators, is more likely, and it contains some fishes of extraordinary size. 143. Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah, "But he cried through the depths of darkness, 'There is no god but Thee; glory to Thee! I was indeed wrong!" (21:87).144. He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection. This is just the idiom. This was to be the burial and the grave of Jonah. If he had not repented, he could not have got out of the body of the creature that had swallowed him, until the Day of Resurrection, when all the dead would be raised up. 145. But Allah cast him forth on the shore in a state of sickness, Cf. 37:89 above. His strange situation might well have caused him to be ill. He wanted fresh air and solitude. He got both in the open plain, and the abundantly shady Gourd Plant or some fruitful tree like it gave him both shade and sustenance. The Gourd is a creeper that can spread over any roof or ruined structure. 146. And Allah caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind. 147. And Allah sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more. The city of Nineveh was a very large city. The Old Testament says: "Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. In other words its circuit was about 45 miles, and its population was over a hundred and twenty thousand inhabitants. 148. And they believed; so Allah permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while. They repented and believed, and Nineveh got a new lease of life. For the dates to which Jonah maybe referred, and the vicissitudes of the City's history as the seat of the Assyrian Empire, The lessons from Jonah's story are: (1) that no man should take upon himself to judge of Allah's wrath or Allah's mercy; (2) that nevertheless Allah forgives true repentance, whether in a righteous man, or in a wicked city; and (3) that Allah's Plan will always prevail, and can never be defeated.

Hazrat Abdullah bin `Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah cid:image003.gif@01D06A21.78DF27A0[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah accepts a slave's repentance as long as the latter is not on his death bed (that is, before the soul of the dying person reaches the throat)". [At-Tirmidhi, Hadith # 3537]

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah As-Saffat Ayat 143. Had he not been of them who glorify AllahThe word Ghargharah means the stage when soul is about to leave the body and reaches the throat. In other words, the time when one suffers the agony of death.

[37].Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks): Ayat 133-138


১৩৩. নিশ্চয় লূত ছিলেন রসূলগণের একজন
১৩৪. যখন আমি তাকেও তার পরিবারের সবাইকে উদ্ধার করেছিলাম;
১৩৫. কিন্তু এক বৃদ্ধাকে ছাড়াসে অন্যান্যদের সঙ্গে থেকে গিয়েছিল
১৩৬. অতঃপর অবশিষ্টদেরকে আমি সমূলে উপাটিত করেছিলাম
১৩৭. তোমরা তোমাদের ধ্বংস স্তুপের উপর দিয়ে গমন কর ভোর বেলায়
১৩৮. এবং সন্ধ্যায়তার পরেও কি তোমরা বোঝ না?

Ayat 133. And verily, Lout PBUH (Lot) was one of the Messengers.
Ayat 134. When Allah saved him and his family, all,
Ayat 135. Except an old woman (his wife) who was among those who remained behind.
Ayat 136. Then Allah destroyed the rest [i.e. the towns of Sodom at the place of the Dead Sea (now) in Palestine].
Ayat 137. Verily, you pass by them in the morning.
Ayat 138. And at night; will you not then reflect?

Tafseer of Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks) Ayat 133 to 138. So also was Lout PBUH among those sent (by Allah) the best illustration of this passage about Lout will be found in 7:80-84. He was a prophet sent to Sodom and Gomorrah, Cities of the Plain, by the Dead Sea. The inhabitants were given over to abominable crimes, against which he preached. They insulted him and threatened to expel him. But Allah in His mercy saved him and his family, with one exception, (see the following note), and then destroyed the Cities. 134. Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all 135.Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind: Cf. 7:83, Lout’s PBUH wife had no faith: she lagged behind, and perished in the general ruin. 136. Then Allah destroyed the rest. 137.Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day-Cf. 15:76, and n. 1998. The tract where they lay is situated on the highway to Syria where the Arab caravans travelled regularly, "by day and by night". Could not future generations learn wisdom from the destruction of those who did wrong? 138. And by night: will ye not understand?

Hazrat Ibn Umer (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: when Messenger of Allah image001.jpg[SAWW](PBUH), and his Companions reached Al-Hijr, the dwellings of the Thamud people, he admonished his Companions (saying), "Do not pass by these people who are being tormented, without weeping, lest the punishment should befall you as it had befallen them.'' [Al-Bukhari Book 04, Chapter 55, Hadith # 564].
Another narration is: Hazrat Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: When the Messenger of Allah image001.jpg[SAWW](PBUH) passed near Al-Hijr, he said, "Do not enter without weeping, the dwellings of those who wronged themselves, lest the same chastisement should fall upon you as it had fallen upon them.'' Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) then covered his head and sped up until he crossed the valley of the tormented people.

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah As-Saffat Ayat 136. Then Allah destroyed the rest and 137.Verily, you pass by them in the morning. The Thamud were the people to whose guidance Allah sent Prophet Saleh PBUH. They lived between Al-Madinah and Syria. In 10 A.H. when the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) went to the Syrian border for the Tabuk expedition, he also passed through this ruined territory. This Hadith is related to the address which he gave to his Companions on the occasion. Here is an instruction that when we happen to pass through the territory of a nation destroyed in the past as a result of Divine wrath, we are advised to quicken one's pace. That is why we have been commanded to avoid the company of the corrupt and the wrongdoers, lest we meet their bad end, too. As the Qur'an says: "And incline not toward those who do wrong, lest the Fire should touch you.'' (11:113) May Allah saves us from it!

[37].Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks): Ayat 123-132


১২৩. নিশ্চয়ই ইলিয়াস ছিল রসূল
১২৪. যখন সে তার সম্প্রদায়কে বললঃ তোমরা কি ভয় কর না ?
১২৫. তোমরা কি বাআল দেবতার এবাদত করবে এবং সর্বোত্তম স্রষ্টাকে পরিত্যাগ করবে
১২৬. যিনি আল্লাহ তোমাদের পালনকর্তা এবং তোমাদের পূর্বপুরুষদের পালনকর্তা?
১২৭. অতঃপর তারা তাকে মিথ্যা প্রতিপন্ন করল। অতএব তারা অবশ্যই গ্রেফতার হয়ে আসবে
১২৮. কিন্তু আল্লাহ তাআলার খাঁটি বান্দাগণ নয়
১২৯. আমি তার জন্যে পরবর্তীদের মধ্যে এ বিষয়ে রেখে দিয়েছি যে,
১৩০. ইলিয়াসের প্রতি সালাম বর্ষিত হোক!
১৩১. এভাবেই আমি সকর্মীদেরকে প্রতিদান দিয়ে থাকি
১৩২. সে ছিল আমার বিশ্বাসী বান্দাদের অন্তর্ভূক্ত

Ayat 123. And verily, Ilyas (Elias) was one of the Messengers.
Ayat 124. When he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allah?
Ayat 125. "Will you call upon Ba'l (a well- known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators,
Ayat 126. "Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"
Ayat 127. But they denied him [Ilyas (Elias)], so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment),
Ayat 128. Except the chosen slaves of Allah.
Ayat 129. And Allah left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times;
Ayat 130. Salamun (peace) be upon Ilyas (Elias)!"
Ayat 131. Verily, thus do Allah reward the Muhsinun (good-doers, who perform good deeds totally for Allah’s sake only).
Ayat 132. Verily, he was one of Allah’s believing servants.

Tafseer of Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks) Ayat 123 to 132. So also was Elias among those sent (by Allah). 6:85. Elias is the same as Elijah, whose story will be found in the Old Testament in 1 Kings 17-19 and 2 Kings 1-2. Elijah lived in the reign of Ahab (B.C. 896-874) and Ahaziah (B.C. 874-872), kings of the (northern) kingdom of Israel or Samaria. He was a prophet of the desert, like John the Baptist— unlike our Prophet, who took part in, controlled, and guided all the affairs of his people. Both Ahab and Ahaziah were prone to lapse into the worship of Ba'l, the sun-god worshipped in Syria. That worship also included the worship of nature-powers and procreative powers, as in the Hindu worship of the Lingam, and led to many abuses. King Ahab had married a princess of Sidon, Jezebel, a wicked woman who led her husband to forsake Allah and adopt Ba'1-worship. Elijah denounced all Ahab's sins as well as the sins of Ahaziah and had to flee for his life. Eventually, according to the Old Testament (2 Kings, 2:11) he was taken up in a whirlwind to heaven in a chariot of fire after he had left his mantle with Elisha the prophet. (R). 124. Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)? 125. "Will ye call upon Ba'l and forsake the Best of Creators,For Ba'l-worship 126.”(Allah), your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"127. But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment), they persecuted him and he had to flee for his life. Eventually he disappeared mysteriously; 128. Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them). 129. And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times: 130. "Peace and salutation to such as Elias!" A Ilyasin may be an alternative form of Ilyas: Cf. Sayna'a (23:20) and Sinin (95:2). Or it may be the plural of Ilyas, meaning "such people as Ilyas". 131.Thus indeed do Allah reward those who do right. 132. For he was one of our believing Servants.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Busr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: One of the Companions said, "O Messenger of Allah cid:image004.gif@01D068B3.8D3FFCC0[SAWW](PBUH). There are many injunctions of Islam for me. So tell me something to which I may hold fast.'' He said, "Keep your tongue wet with the remembrance of Allah.'' [At-Tirmidhi, Hadith # 3383]

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah As-Saffat Ayat 131. Verily, thus do Allah reward the Muhsinun(good-doers, who perform good deeds totally for Allah’s sake only)Shari’ah` is the plural of Sharia “Shari`ah” is in the sense of Mashru`ah, that is the Divine injunctions. These Divine injunctions are of various kinds, i.e., some of them are obligatory, some desirable and some voluntary. The obligatory ones are compulsory and their compliance is indispensable. What is termed as Mustahabbat (desirables) are also highly important for gaining the Pleasure of Allah. Similarly, voluntary acts are a means of getting close to Allah. Ordinary people are sometimes puzzled by the abundance of the latter and want to adhere to the first two that is obligations and what comes in the category of desirables. A desire to this effect is mentioned in this Hadith. The Prophet (PBUH) answered the query in this matter by saying to the inquirer, "Keep your tongue wet with the remembrance of Allah.'' Keeping the tongue wet with the remembrance of Allah here means its abundant recitation. In other words, one should make the remembrance of Allah a permanent feature. If one is not able to do many voluntary good works, which some people find difficult, the remembrance of Allah will make up the deficiency in that regard.

[37].Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks):Ayat 114-122


১১৪. আমি অনুগ্রহ করেছিলাম মূসা ও হারুনের প্রতি
১১৫. তাদেরকে ও তাদের সম্প্রদায়কে উদ্ধার করেছি মহা সংকট থেকে
১১৬. আমি তাদেরকে সাহায্য করেছিলামফলে তারাই ছিল বিজয়ী
১১৭. আমি উভয়কে দিয়েছিলাম সুস্পষ্ট কিতাব
১১৮. এবং তাদেরকে সরল পথ প্রদর্শন করেছিলাম
১১৯. আমি তাদের জন্যে পরবর্তীদের মধ্যে এ বিষয় রেখে দিয়েছি যে,
১২০. মূসা ও হারুনের প্রতি সালাম বর্ষিত হোক
১২১. এভাবে আমি সকর্মীদেরকে প্রতিদান দিয়ে থাকি
১২২. তারা উভয়েই ছিল আমার বিশ্বাসী বান্দাদের অন্যতম

Ayat 114. And, indeed Allah gave his Grace to Musa PBUH (Moses) and Haroon PBUH (Aaron).
Ayat 115. And Allah saved them and their people from the great distress;
Ayat 116. And helped them, so that they became the victors;
Ayat 117. And Allah gave them the clear Scripture;
Ayat 118. And guided them to the Right Path;
Ayat 119. And Allah left for them (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times;
Ayat 120. Salamun (peace) be upon Musa PBUH (Moses) and Haroon PBUH (Aaron)!"
Ayat 121. Verily, thus do Allah reward the Muhsinun (good-doers).
Ayat 122. Verily! They were two of Allah’s believing servants.

Tafseer of Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks) Ayat 114. Again (of old) Allah bestowed the favor on Moses PBUH and Aaron PBUH, The story of Moses PBUH is told in numerous passages of the Qur'an. The passages most illustrative of the present passage will be found in 28:4 (oppression of the Israelites in Egypt) and 20:77-79 (the Israelites triumphant over their enemies when the latter were drowned in the Red Sea). Ayat 115. And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity; What could have been a greater calamity to them than that they should have been held in slavery by the Egyptians, that their male children should have been killed and their female children should have been saved alive for the Egyptians? Ayat 116. And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles); The Israelites were delivered by three steps mentioned inverses 114,115, and 116 respectively; but the consummation of Allah's favour on them was (verses 117-118) the Revelation given to them, which guided them on the Straight Way, so long as they preserved the Revelation intact and followed its precepts. The three steps were: (1) the divine commission to Moses and Aaron: (2) the deliverance from bondage; and (3) the triumphant crossing of the Red Sea and the destruction of Pharaoh's army. Ayat 117. And Allah gave them the Book which helps to make things clear; Mustabin has a slightly different force from Mubin. I have translated the former by "which helps to make things clear", and the latter by "which makes things clear"—apt descriptions as applied to the Tawrah and the Qur'an. Ayat 118. And Allah guided them to the Straight Way. Ayat 119. And Allah left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times: Ayat 120. "Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!" Ayat 121. Thus indeed do Allah reward those who do right. Ayat122. For they were two of our believing Servants.

Hazrat Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah image001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH) said, "The superiority of the learned over the devout worshipper is like my superiority over the most inferior amongst you (in good deeds).'' He went on to say, "Allah, His angels, the dwellers of the heaven and the earth, and even the ant in its hole and the fish (in water) supplicate in favor of those who teach people knowledge.''
[At-Tirmidhi, Hadith # 2685] 

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah As-Saffat Ayat 119. And Allah left for them (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times” Alim (learned person) here means scholar of the Qur'an and Hadith, who adheres to Faraid and Sunnah and remains busy in learning and imparting knowledge. `Abid (devout worshipper) is one who spends most of his time in the worship of Allah. The benefit of his voluntary prayer and remembrance of Allah is restricted to his own self while the benefit of knowledge of the scholar reaches others also. Hence, of the two, the latter is far superior. If Salat is mentioned with reference to Allah, it denotes "Allah's Grace with Mercy;'' if it is mentioned with reference to the angels, it denotes "to pray for forgiveness;'' and if it is mentioned with reference to other creatures - men, animals, etc., - then it means prayer and supplication. Thus, Allah graces that person with His Mercy who teaches people the beneficial knowledge, i.e., the knowledge of Islam; angels pray to Allah to forgive his (or her) sins; and other creatures pray for his (or her) well-being. In this way, this Hadith stresses the distinction of religious scholars and highlights the esteem in which they are held by Allah, His angels and His other creatures.    

[37].Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks): Ayat 112-113


১১২. আমি তাকে সুসংবাদ দিয়েছি ইসহাকেরসে সকর্মীদের মধ্য থেকে একজন নবী
১১৩. তাকে এবং ইসহাককে আমি বরকত দান করেছি। তাদের বংশধরদের মধ্যে কতক সকর্মী এবং কতক নিজেদের উপর স্পষ্ট জুলুমকারী

Ayat 112. And Allah gave him the glad tidings of Ishaque (Isaac) a Prophet from the righteous.
Ayat 113. Allah blessed him and Ishaque (Isaac), and of their progeny are (some) that do right, and some that plainly wrong themselves.

Tafseer of Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks) Ayat 112. And Allah gave him the good news of Isaac PBUH a prophet, one of the Righteous. Isaac was Abraham's second son, born of Sarah, when Abraham PBUH was 100 years of age. He was also blessed and became the ancestor of the Jewish people. Ayat 113. Allah blessed him and Isaac PBUH: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls. So long as the Children of Israel upheld the righteous banner of Allah, they enjoyed Allah's blessing and their history is a portion of sacred history. When they fell from grace, they did not stop Allah's Plan: they injured their own souls.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah image001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH)! Who is the most honorable amongst mankind?'' He image001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH) said, "The most honorable of them is one who is the most pious of them.'' They said, "We are not asking about this". He said, "Then, the most honorable of men was Yusuf [PBUH] (Joseph), the Prophet of Allah, the son of Allah's Prophet, who was the son of the Prophet of Allah, who was the son of the Khalil of Allah (i.e., Ibrahim (PBUH))' They said, "We are not asking you about this.'' He enquired, "Are you then asking me about the classes of the Arabs? The best of them in the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance are the best of them in Islam, provided they comprehend the religious knowledge". [Al-Bukhari Book 05, Chapter 55, Hadith # 572] 

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah As-Saffat Ayat 112. And Allah gave him the glad tidings of Ishaque (Isaac) a Prophet from the righteous.” We come to know from this Hadith that the families which enjoyed popularity and prestige for their eminent qualities (like generosity, chivalry, honesty, etc.) in the pre-Islamic period were also credited for these values after their acceptance of Islam. But now their respect was qualified with their religious knowledge and practice. Their capabilities, self-respect and other qualities were turned towards a different direction. These qualities which were previously used for paganism were now devoted for Islam.

[37].Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks): Ayat 103-111


১০৩. যখন পিতা-পুত্র উভয়েই আনুগত্য প্রকাশ করল এবং ইব্রাহীম তাকে যবেহ করার জন্যে শায়িত করল
১০৪. তখন আমি তাকে ডেকে বললামঃ হে ইব্রাহীম,
১০৫. তুমি তো স্বপ্নকে সত্যে পরিণত করে দেখালে! আমি এভাবেই সকর্মীদেরকে প্রতিদান দিয়ে থাকি
১০৬. নিশ্চয় এটা এক সুস্পষ্ট পরীক্ষা
১০৭. আমি তার পরিবর্তে দিলাম যবেহ করার জন্যে এক মহান জন্তু
১০৮. আমি তার জন্যে এ বিষয়টি পরবর্তীদের মধ্যে রেখে দিয়েছি যে,
১০৯. ইব্রাহীমের প্রতি সালাম বর্ষিত হোক
১১০. এমনিভাবে আমি সকর্মীদেরকে প্রতিদান দিয়ে থাকি
১১১. সে ছিল আমার বিশ্বাসী বান্দাদের একজন

Ayat 103. Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering);
Ayat 104. And Allah called out to him: "O Abraham PBUH!
Ayat 105. You have fulfilled the dream (vision)!" Verily! Thus do Allah reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - see V.2:112).
Ayat 106. Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial.
Ayat 107. And Allah ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. a ram);
Ayat 108. And Allah left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times.
Ayat 109. Salamun (peace) be upon Ibrahim (Abraham)!"
Ayat 110. Thus indeed do Allah reward the Muhsinun (good-doers).
Ayat 111. Verily, he was one of Allah's believing servant’s.

Tafseer of Surah As-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks) Ayat 103. So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah. and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), Note that the sacrifice was demanded of both Abraham and Ismail. It was a trial of the will of the father and the son. By way of trial the father had the command conveyed to him in a vision. He consulted the son. The son readily consented, and offered to stand true to his promise if his self-sacrifice was really required. The whole thing is symbolical. Allah does not require the flesh and blood of animals (22:37), much less of human beings. But he does require the giving of our whole being to Allah, the symbol of which is that we should give up something very dear to us, if Duty requires that sacrifice, Our version may be compared with the Jewish-Christian version of the present Old Testament. The Jewish tradition, in order to glorify the younger branch of the family, descended from Isaac, ancestor of the Jews, as against the elder branch, descended from Ismail, ancestor of the Arabs, refers this sacrifice to Isaac (Gen. 22:1-18). Now Isaac was born when Abraham was 100 years old, while Ismail was born to Abraham when Abraham was 86 years old. Ismail was therefore 14 years older than Isaac. During his first 14 years Ismail was the only son of Abraham; at no time was Isaac the only son of Abraham. Yet, in speaking of the sacrifice, the Old Testament says: 'And He said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah : and offer him there for a burnt offering..." This slip shows at any rate which was the older version, and how it was overlaid, like the present Jewish records, in the interests of a tribal religion. The “land of Moriah” is not clear: it was three days journey from Abraham's place (Gen. 22:4). There is less warrant for identifying it with the hill of Moriah on which Jerusalem was afterwards built than with the hill of Marwah which is identified with the Arab tradition about Ismail. 104. We called out to him, "O Abraham! In the Biblical version Isaac's consent is not taken: in fact Isaac asks, 'where is the lamb for sacrifice?' and is told that 'God would provide it'. It is a complete human sacrifice like those to Moloch. In our version it is as much a sacrifice by the will of Ismail as by that of Abraham. And in any case it is symbolic: "this was obviously a trial"; "thou hast already fulfilled thy vision": etc. 105. "Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" – Thus indeed do Allah reward those who do right. 106. For this was obviously a trial- 107. And Allah ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice: The adjective qualifying "sacrifice" here, 'azim, (great, momentous) may be understood both in a literal and a figurative sense. In a literal sense it implies that a fine sheep or ram was substituted symbolically. The figurative sense is even more important. It was indeed a great and momentous occasion, when two men, with concerted will, "ranged themselves in the ranks" of those to whom self-sacrifice in the service of Allah was the supreme thing in life. In this sense, said Jesus, "he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it", (Matt. 10:39). 108.And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times: Cf. above, 37:78-81, also 43:28. 109. "Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
110. Thus indeed do Allah reward those who do right. 111. For he was one of our believing Servants.

Hazrat Jabir Ibn Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah image001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH) before sacrificing animal on 10th Zhual Hijjah supplicated these words, "I detaching myself from every one and concentrating on one". "Who created the heavens and the earth, and I am not one of the polytheists "Verily, my Salat (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the Universe ('Alamin all mankind, jinns and all that exists). O Allah (this sacrifice) it comes from you and is given to (sacrifice for) you. In the name of Allah, and Allah is Most Great" He then made sacrifice.  [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah As-Saffat Ayat 103. Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering); Sacrificing animals on 10th, 11th & 12th Zhual Hijjah is conduct furnishes the principle that the reward of sacrificing something for Allah goes with its quality. The more precious the thing sacrificed, the greater its reward will be.
