Commentary
To manifest the
excellence of the blessed month of Ramadan Allah Almighty explained in the
beginning of this verse that Holy Qur’an was begun to reveal
upon the Last Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) in this month. Now three characteristics of Holy Qur’an have
been explained as under:
1.
Hudan (guidance) –Holy Qur’an is
spring of guidance for the entire humankind. Every individual can get to know
the Straight Path to reach the Creator and the object destination of life only
through this Scripture. Every source of guidance other than Holy Qur’an misleads. Except it, every path
will be the path of straying and deviation. Only Holy Qur’an is
the Scripture which can guide unto the Straight Path. Aggregately to pass the
human life successfully, Holy Qur’an provides all those
principles and codes regarding its all aspects, which indicate towards the
Straight Path and the aimed destination. It has been mentioned in this
verse Hudal-linnaas (guidance for the whole mankind). For more
details of the word ‘guidance’ please study Lesson # 9 from Holy Qur’an (STRAIGHT
PATH).
2.
Bayyinaatim-minal-hudaa – (clear proofs
of the guidance) Holy Qur’an has so explained the entire
principles and codes of guidance that these have become completely clear, easy,
simple and light, and every individual can understand them easily because
excellence of Holy Qur’an is ‘bayyinaat’ (clear
proofs). So the principles of Holy Qur’an relate to common
sense, simple and practicable. Nothing is against the wisdom and no principle
is impracticable.
3.
Al-furqaan – (the Criterion (separator of right from
wrong), it is the third excellence of Holy Qur’an that the
people who recite this Sacred Scripture, correct decision power grows into
them. They become capable to make a distinction between true and false, just
and absurd, truth and a lie, faith and infidelity, correction and quarrel,
obedience and rebellion, worship and refusal. They can distinguish among good
and bad. So ‘Al-Furqaan’ (the Criterion (of right and wrong)
is also the characteristic of the Holy Qur’an.
The book like this,
which has these three characteristics, if Her every command is not the Message
of life for humankind, then what is this? Its each command has been filled with
countless auspiciousness, blessings and wisdom.
Would
that the Muslims get it understood themselves, as well as cause to understand
also to the world. If we are unable to spread the Word of Allah Almighty in
every corner of the world then it would be dishonesty in the Trust.
