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 Beneficent, the Very-Merciful

(Surely, in daytime, you have a lengthy work to do... 73:7)

COMMENTARY: The word Sabhan, literally means, 'to flow, walk or move about' from which we also get the sense 'of swimming in the water' because when a swimmer swims in the water, he moves about in it freely without any obstruction. Here the word signifies 'long chain of engagements in the day' which refers to multifarious duties to be performed with alacrity, such as educating the people, preaching to them, reforming humanity, performing domestic chores, discharging social responsibilities and moving about to many other tasks and obligations.

The current verse explicates the third point of wisdom as to why night-prayer was enjoined. This relates both to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) and the general body of the Muslim community. During the day the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) as well as other people have a long chain of engagements for which they disperse and move about as explained in the foregoing paragraph. As a result, it is difficult for them to concentrate on their worshipping activity. The night should be reserved for this purpose. A person should sleep according to his need and perform his night-prayer as well.

A Special Note: Jurists have said that the verse under comment confirms that scholars and saintly guides, who are engaged in the service of education, training and human reform, should render their services during the day. It is better to reserve the night for Divine worship and devotional activities. The practice of the righteous scholars and predecessors bear testimony to this fact. If a temporary need arises to serve the cause of education and propagation at night, it may be carried out to the degree of necessity, but this would be an exception. The practice of many scholars and jurists confirm this exception.

~ MA'AARIFUL QUR'AN ~
TO BE CONTINUED...

Net soos wat daar ouers is, soos Allah wil, wat sukkel met een of twee van hulle kinders, is daar kinders wat sukkel met een of twee van hulle ouers... Ongelukkig is dit so dat daar soms, soos Allah wil, 'n Pa of 'n Ma is wat die kinders gryshare gee: miskien het die Pa of Ma 'n drankprobleem, of 'n egbreekprobleem, of besit hy of sy net nie die vermoë om 'n goeie ouer te wees nie? Jy sal weet, want jy ken jou eie situasie die beste.

Ek dink dat soos wat ouers, hulle kinders geduldig grootmaak en vir die Plesier van Allah, so kan kinders seker..." (Meer te lees)
