SURAH
Al-Muzzammil 73: (The Wrapped up one)
This Surah is Makki, and it has 20 verses and 2 Sections.
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful
We
will send down to you a weighty discourse ... (73:5)
COMMENTARY:
The word Thaqil means 'heavy' and the phrase discourse'
refers to the Qur'an, because the Qur'anic teachings of lawful
and unlawful are permanently binding and carrying them out
is the task for human nature, except those for whom Allah
makes it easier.
According
to oft-quoted Ahadith, whenever a revelation descended upon
the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam), he went into
a trance and felt a peculiar sensation, so that even on an
extremely cold day drops of sweat fell from his forehead,
and he felt his body has become heavier. The Qur'anic revelation
being 'a weighty discourse', his paroxysm was due to this
sensation. If the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)
received revelation while he was on his riding animal, it
would begin to move the bottom of its neck intensely. [Bukhari
and others].
The
verse under comment prescribes Tahajjud prayer on man, so
that he may become accustomed to the difficulty of waking
at night. This is a struggle against excess sleep and comfort
of the carnal self. This exercise will make it easier to abide
by the injunctions contained in the 'weighty discourse', that
is, the Noble Qur'an.

PEOPLE's
TALK
---------------
Mulla Nasrudin and his son were riding the donkey to the
town market. A group of people passed. Mulla heard them
whisper: "What times are these? Look at those two,
have they no mercy on the poor animal?"
Nasrudin,
hearing this, tells his son to get off and continue the
journey on foot. Another group of people passing by and
seeing this comment: "What times are these? Look at
this man. His poor son with his frail body has to walk while
he at his best age is riding the donkey!"
Hearing
this, Nasrudin tells his son to ride the donkey and he himself
gets off to walk the rest of the way. A third group of people
seeing this remark: "What times are these? This young
man is riding the donkey while his sickly old father has
to walk!"
Hearing
this, Nasrudin tells his son to get off the animal and they
both walk with the donkey trailing behind. Another group
passing by point to them, laughing: "Look at these
idiots. They have a donkey and they are walking all the
way to the market!"
As
many mouths, as many opinions.
It is impossible to please everyone.
