Tafsir

Tafsir of Surah An-Naml

The Qur'an is Guidance and Glad Tidings for the Believers, a Warning to the Disbelievers, and it is from Allah

Allah says:

طس

Ta Sin.

In (the comments on) Surah Al-Baqarah, we discussed the letters which appear at the beginning of some Surahs.

تِلۡكَ ايَاتُ الۡقُرۡانِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ

These are the Ayat of the Qur'an, and (it is) a Book (that is) clear.

It is plain and evident.

هُدًى وَبُشۡرَى لِلۡمُوۡمِنِينَ

A guide and glad tidings for the believers.

meaning, guidance and good news may be attained from the Qur'an for those who believe in it, follow it and put it into practice.

الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَةَ وَيُوۡتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُم بِالاۡخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوقِنُونَ

Those who perform the Salah and give the Zakah and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter.

They establish obligatory prayers, pay Zakah and believe with certain faith in the Hereafter, the resurrection after death, reward and punishment for all deeds, good and bad, and Paradise and Hell.

This is like the Ayat:

قُلۡ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواۡ هُدًى وَشِفَأءٌ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يُوۡمِنُونَ فِى ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرٌ

Say:It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears... (41:44)

لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الۡمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنۡذِرَ بِهِ قَوۡماً لُّدّاً

that you may give glad tidings to those who have Taqwa, and warn with it the Ludd (most quarrelsome) people. (19:97)

Allah says here

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُوۡمِنُونَ بِالاۡخِرَةِ

Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter,

meaning, those who deny it and think that it will never happen,

زَيَّنَّا لَهُمۡ أَعۡمَالَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ

We have made their deeds fair seeming to them, so that they wander about blindly.

means, `We have made what they are doing seem good to them, and We have left them to continue in their misguidance, so they are lost and confused.'

This is their recompense for their disbelief in the Hereafter, as Allah says:

وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفۡيِدَتَهُمۡ وَأَبۡصَـرَهُمۡ كَمَا لَمۡ يُوۡمِنُواۡ بِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ

And We shall turn their hearts and their eyes away, as they refused to believe therein for the first time. (6:110)

أُوۡلَيِكَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمۡ سُوءُ الۡعَذَابِ

They are those for whom there will be an evil torment.

in this world and the Hereafter.

وَهُمۡ فِي الاۡخِرَةِ هُمُ الاَۡخۡسَرُونَ

And in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.

means, no one but they, among all the people who will be gathered, will lose their souls and their wealth.

وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى الۡقُرۡانَ مِن لَّدُنۡ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ

And verily, you are being taught the Qur'an from One, All-Wise, All-Knowing.

وَإِنَّكَ

(And verily, you), O Muhammad. Qatadah said:

لَتُلَقَّى

(are being taught) Are receiving.

الۡقُرۡانَ مِن لَّدُنۡ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ

the Qur'an from One, All-Wise, All-Knowing.

from One Who is Wise in His commands and prohibitions, and Who knows all things, major and minor. Whatever He says is absolute Truth, and His rulings are entirely fair and just, as Allah says:

وَتَمَّتۡ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدۡقاً وَعَدۡلاً

And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. (6:115)

Related Q&A

Why muqotto'at verses exist in Quran?

Many scholars say that no one knows the meaning of Huruf Muqatta'at (Disjointed-Letters) except Allah. Then why they exist in the Qur'an which was sent down to the humankind?

ANSWER:

Firstly, to say that no one understands the meaning of these letters except Allah is not the consensus of all scholars. Indeed, some scholars beginning from some Shahabah (Companions) explained their meanings. Yasiin, for example, means "O human" according to Ibn 'Abbas. He also told that "Alif Lam Ra'" stands for "Ana Allah Araa" which means "I -Allah- see."

On the other hand, we should acknowledge that there are several Shahabah and scholars believe that only Allah who knows the meaning of these Huruf Muqatta'at. Abu Bakr said: "There is secret in every book. Then the secret of Allah in the Quran is these letters in the beginning of surahs." Ali ibn Abi Thalib and others also stated the same thing.

Ash-Sha'bi, a Tabi'i, was once asked about these letters. He then answered, "Every book have their secret. The secret of the Qur'an is the letters in the beginning of surahs. So, leave it and ask me other question beside it."

Yet even from this perspective, these Huruf Muqatta'at are not useless. They even show us many benefits, of them are:

- to examine our faith

- to show us that our knowledge is limited

- to show us that the Quran is in Arabic since it is arranged from these Arabic letters

- to attract listeners' attention due to their uniqueness

- to make a pledge

- to be names for some surahs

There are also interesting facts from this Huruf Muqotta'at. Of them is the total amount of these letters is 14 which is a half of 28 Arabic letters. They can be drawn up to be a sentence like this:

نص حكيم قاطع له سر

The wise, absolute text which has secret.

In short, some scholars exegete these letters while the others did not but still say that these letters have benefits and wisdoms.

Allah knows best.
