[56] Surah Al-Waqi’ah [The Event]: Ayat 075-082


৭৫. অতএব, আমি তারকারাজির অস্তাচলের শপথ করছি,  
৭৬. নিশ্চয় এটা এক মহা শপথ-যদি তোমরা জানতে
৭৭. নিশ্চয় এটা সম্মানিত কোরআন
৭৮. যা আছে এক গোপন কিতাবে
৭৯. যারা পাক-পবিত্র, তারা ব্যতীত অন্য কেউ একে স্পর্শ করবে না
৮০. এটা বিশ্ব-পালনকর্তার পক্ষ থেকে অবতীর্ণ
৮১. তবুও কি তোমরা এই বাণীর প্রতি শৈথিল্য পদর্শন করবে?
৮২. এবং একে মিথ্যা বলাকেই তোমরা তোমাদের ভূমিকায় পরিণত করবে?       

Ayat 75. So I swear by Mawaqi (setting or the mansions, etc.) of the stars (they traverse).
Ayat 76. And verily, that is indeed a great oath, if you but know.
Ayat 77. That (this) is indeed an honorable recital (the Noble Qur’an).
Ayat 78. In a Book well-guarded (with Allah in the heaven i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfouz).
Ayat 79. Which (that Book with Allah) none can touch but the purified (i.e. the angels).
Ayat 80. A Revelation (this Qur’an) from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
Ayat 81. Is it such a talk (this Qur'an) that you (disbelievers) deny?
Ayat 82. And instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives you, on the contrary, you deny Him (by disbelief)!

Tafseer of Surah Al-Waqi’ah Ayat 75 to 82. Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars, The setting of the Stars: a number of mystic meanings are attached. Here are three. (1) Cf. 43:1 and n.  085; the setting of a glorious star is a symbol of humility before the power, beauty, and goodness of Allah. (2) It may refer to the extinction of the stars at the Day of Judgement, betokening the establishment of Allah's Justice and the Truth of His Revelation. (3) What is bright or beautiful to our senses may disappear from our ken within a few hours, even though its own existence may continue. All light is relative except the Light of Allah. 76. And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew, The glory of the firmament as it exists, and the wonder of its passing away, are both evidence, to the discerning mind, of the Future which Allah has prepared, but this evidence can only be effective if men "but knew", i.e., turned their earnest attention to it. 77. That this is indeed a Qur’an most honorable. Your attention is drawn to the momentous issues of the Future by the Qur'an. It is a Revelation described by four characteristics. (1) It is most honorable, Karim, which implies, besides the fact that it is worthy of receiving honour, that it confers great favours on those who receive it. (2) It is well-guarded, Maknun; precious in itself, and well-preserved in its purity; see 56:23; see also 15:9. (3) None but the clean shall touch it—clean in body, mind, thought, intention, and soul; only such can achieve real contact with its full meaning. (4) It is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds, and therefore universal for all. 78. In Book well-guarded, 79. Which none shall touch but those who are clean: 80. A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. 81. Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem? The Message being such as is described in the last note, how can anyone ignore it or treat it with contempt or refuse to allow it to improve his life? 82. And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false? The worst indictment of an enemy of Revelation would be that he should make Falsehood a source of filthy lucre for himself, or that he should let his precious life be corrupted by such unholy occupation. 

Hazrat Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah image001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Verily, Allah elevates some people with this Qur'an and abases others.''  [Muslim Book 04, Chapter 138, Hadith # 1780]

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Waqi’ah Ayat 80. A Revelation (this Qur’an) from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). And Ayat 81. Is it such a talk (this Qur'an) that you (disbelievers) deny? 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 this meaningful attachment with the Qur'an, they made great achievements in religious and worldly spheres. Those who neglected the teachings of 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. Exaltation and humiliation mentioned in the Hadith is bound to happen in both this life and the Hereafter.
