English Translation of Al-Quran

[06] Surah Al-An'am [The Cattle]

Ayat 13. And to Him belongs whatsoever exists in the night and the day, and He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing."

Ayat 14. Say (O Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH) "Shall I take as a Wali (helper, protector, etc.) any other than Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? And it is He Who feeds but is not fed." Say: "Verily, I am commanded to be the first of those who submit themselves to Allah (as Muslims)." And be not you (O Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH),  of the Mushrikun [polytheists, pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah].

Tafseer of Surah Al An'am (The Cattle) Ayat 13. To him belongeth all that dwelled (or lurked) in the night and the day. For he is the one who hears and knows all things." Sakana = (1) to dwell; (2) to rest, to be still, to stop (moving), to lurk; (3) to be quiescent, as a letter which is not moved with a vowel. If we imagine Night and Day to be places, and each to have (dwelling in them) things that are open and things that are concealed, things that move and things that are still, things that are sounded and things that are quiescent, we get some idea of the imagery implied. The mystery of Time (which seems more abstract than Space) is thus explained and illustrated by the idea of Place or Space, which also is a notion and not a concrete thing. But He Who has control of all these things is the one true Allah. Throughout this section we have a sort of implied dialogue, of which one part is understood from the other part, which is expressed. In verse 11, we might have an imaginary objector saying: "Why go back to the past?" The answer is: "Well travel through the world, and see whether it is not true that virtue and godliness exalt a nation, and the opposite are causes of ruin. Both the past and the present prove this." In verse 12 the objector may say: "But you speak of Allah's power?" The man of God replies: "Yes, but Mercy is Allah's own attribute, and knowledge and wisdom beyond what man can conceive." 14. Say: "Shall I take for my protector any other than Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? And He

it is that feeds but is not fed. "Say: "Nay! but I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah (in Islam), and be not thou of the company of those who join gods with Allah." Feeds but is not fed: true both literally and figuratively. To Allah we owe the satisfaction of all needs, but He is independent of all needs, (Cf. 7:19 and 5:66).

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said,  "Verily, Allah likes three things for you and disapproves three things for you. He likes that you should worship Him Alone, not to associate anything with Him (in worship) and to hold fast to the Rope of Allah and not to be divided among yourselves; and He disapproves for you irrelevant talk, persistent questioning and the squandering of the wealth.''

[Muslim Book 018, Chapter 03, Hadith # 4255]."

Lesson: Besides stressing Tauhid, holding fast to the Rope of Allah and unity (which are greatly liked by Allah), this Hadith forbids unnecessary debate, hair-splitting and extravagance as all the three are disliked by Allah. Wealth has a great importance in man's life since it is the very source of sustenance and basis of his livelihood, its wastage is akin to cutting the branch of the tree on which one is sitting.

Aws bin Aws (RA) narrated: "Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said to me: 'Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, and bathes completely, and goes early, arriving early, gets close and listens and is silent, there will be for him in every step he takes the reward of a year of fasting and standing (in prayer).'" (Jami`at-Tirmidhi, Vol. 1, Book 4, Hadith 9) Even purifying yourself and going to worship Allah on Jummah has an immense reward with every action and every step.
