Chapter Six - Concerning The Glory of The Qur'an ::
In
this chapter Allamah Busairi describes the miracle of the Qur'an.
Every miracle of all the other prophets was only temporary and
was only witnessed by those who were present at that time. The
Qur'an is that ever lasting miracle which is witnessed by all
people for all time to come. Allamah Busairi encourages people
to recite the Qur'an and act upon its commands.
1. Allow me to describe the miracles of him (Rasulullah Sallallahu
Alaihi Wassallam) exposed (performed).
2. Like the lightning of fires on the hillside at night for guests.
3. The beauty of a pearl is further enhanced in a necklace.
4. But its value does not diminish (in the least) when not strung
on a necklace.
5. So why should the ambitions of those who praise not increase
towards
6. That which he (Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam) has
of noble character and good habits.
7. Verses of truth from the Most Merciful (Allah Ta'aala) newly
heard.
8. (As well as being) eternal which is quality (of Allah) Who
is described with eternity.
9. It is not connected with any period of time, while it informs
us
10. About the hereafter as well as of Aad and Iram.
11. Which remains with us forever, therefore it is superior to
every miracle.
12. Of the other Nabi's (for) when (their miracles) came but did
not remain.
13. Absolutely clear (as evidence) so it did not leave (room for
any) doubts.
14. By the enemies nor do they require any judge.
15. No one opposed it ever except for the vehement enemy.
16. (Due to) the enmity of the enemy toward it, (but that he)
refrained from it seeking a truce.
17. Its eloquence refuted the accusations of its objectors.
18. Just as a respectable man keeps off the hand of a transgressor
from his harem.
19. Its meaning is like the waves of the ocean in helping (one
another).
20. And the (Qur'an) transcends the jewels of the sea in beauty
and value.
21. Its wonders cannot be counted nor comprehended.
22. Nor would you (be) satiated by its constant repetition (recitation).
23. It cools the eye of its reciter, so I said to him
24. You have succeeded with the rope of Allah, therefore hold
steadfast onto it.
25. If you recite it due to fear of the heat of blazing fire.
26. Then you have doused the blazing fire with its cool water.
27. It is like the Houze-e-Kowther with which faces are illuminated.
28. Of the sinners even though they came to it (with faces) black
as coal.
29. It is like the straight bridge and like the scales in equilibrium.
30. Justice, without which, amongst man cannot be established.
31. Do not be astonished if the jealous person rejects it.
32. (Feigning) ignorance while they are shrewd and intelligent.
33. Verily the eye rejects the rays of the sun due to dust.
34. The mouth rejects the (sweet) taste of water due to sickness.
