Surah al hashr last 3 ayat4/8/2023 When the punishment for misconduct is discussed, we should seek Allah’s protection. Whenever blessings are mentioned to a particular group, we should pause and beseech Allah to be included. A difference in our daily conduct with others.Ī simple practical step open to anyone, even without knowledge of the Arabic language, is to reflect on the personal implication of what he or she reads. The evidence of a true understanding is a change in our emotional state. Our mental approach to the Qur’an should be one of humility before Allah, praying that He opens our heart to the true understanding of its meanings. How can we begin the journey of a deep and effective relationship with the Qur’an so that we are practically influenced by its teachings? Volumes have been written on this subject. So, the Promised Messiah (as), alluding to the metaphor of the scattered mountain, laments the fate of those who are not moved by the beauties of the Qur’an. On an international scale, many so-called Muslim countries do not utilise the eternal principles for governance which are so clearly explained by Allah in His Book. On an individual level, we rush to consume content curated by humans for our enjoyment (Tweets, forwarded WhatsApp messages etc.) but we neglect the words of Allah, specially chosen for our guidance. Despite the widespread availability of the Qur’an on almost every platform, ranging from websites to mobile phones and a plethora of apps with commentaries of its verses, it is apparent that people are not influenced by its beauty, guidance and greatness.

The second (quality) is that all previous relationships should be severed as the mountain falls down, split into pieces. One is to destroy arrogance just as the mountain stands erect with its head held high and then becomes level with the earth, in the same manner a man should remove all thoughts of greatness and arrogance. Another meaning is that no person can acquire the Divine love and pleasure unless two qualities are born. When it (the Qur’an) has such an effect on inorganic matter, then how foolish are those people who do not derive benefit from its influence. ‘One meaning (of the verse) is that the Qur’an has such an effect that if it were to descend on a mountain, then the mountain would become fragmented into pieces and level with the earth. The Promised Messiah and founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), has provided a beautiful commentary of this verse of the Holy Qur’an which provides a roadmap to spiritual excellence. And these are similitudes that We set forth for mankind that they may reflect.’ ‘If We had sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, you would certainly have seen it humbled and rent asunder for fear of Allah.
