Welcome Friends:  Ahlan wa sahlan<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we start today, I must point out that reading these posts alone does NOT constitute a \u2018Qur\u2019anic\u2019 Reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please read the Qur\u2019an interpretation (Yusuf Ali\/ Muhammad Asad) which this discussion is about, and IF POSSIBLE, you must read the 2 pages we are discussing from the Arabi Qur\u2019an itself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Qur\u2019an Blog of 2010 was originally intended to highlight and clarify what was already available in Yusuf Ali and Muhammad Asad\u2019s explanations; it was never considered sufficient on its own.  Although I tried to provide ample information, I was doing so within a limited number of hours spent on each Posting.  This meant that I had to be brief when the verses were well-explained or clear in themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, in 2021, I am revising my thoughts and explanations based on new research and understanding.  Revision is a \u2018must\u2019 in any human endeavor!  I learnt that from our beloved Prophet\u2019s 10-year validity of his Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, peace upon him. It\u2019s like a person looking inward at a previous version of one\u2019s thoughts, understanding, and decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten years makes for new knowledge and experiences, and also: A new generation! A new generation performing IQRA! with the older generation who strives to maintain IQRA!  in \u2018the aan\u2019\u2026!!  When IQRA! becomes a priority we will never sense a \u2018generational gap.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please make this venture successful FOR YOURSELF by committing to your part as a Reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must spend a reasonable amount of time and effort daily so as to be able to continue for the lo-oooong haul and crown your endeavors by having completed a turn of IQRA! through the entire Qur\u2019an!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I say \u2018A\u2019 turn because IQRA! is a beautiful, lifelong mission, where one turn ends you might start another, each more enlightening and fulfilling.  Sisters who were with us in 2010 -and are with us now- will vouch for that!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s verses provide listeners another angle from which they could reflect upon their Creator as well as their relationship with Him (or -being shortsighted- their perceived lack<\/em> of it).  What we shall read below is more insightful when understood together with the powerful verses in our past Reading! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s Reading is mostly about Prophet Abraham<\/a> and his Reasoning, peace upon him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, he reasons within himself, and then he attempts to reason with his father and his people.[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prophet Abraham is, after all, the one whom the Qur\u2019an praises in HQ37:84, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen <\/strong>he came to His Lord with a sound heart\/mind<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. In Verse 74 Prophet Abraham first speaks to his father, his immediate area of concern, as our loved ones should be for us.[2]<\/sup><\/a> Notice that he first posed him a question, to which his father must have responded (even with silence!).  Then Abraham continued, stating that both his father, and his father\u2019s people, were evidently astray\/in loss.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Verse 75 shows us how God helped Abraham observe His \u2018Malakoot,\u2019 meaning His complete Domination over His Dominion, the superlative word \u2018Malakoot\u2019 being an amplified, exalted form of the more common noun \u2018Mulk.\u2019 It serves to highlight the fact that all The \u2018Mulk\/Dominion\u2019 is in His Power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Zamakhshari says that the word \u2018Malakoot\u2019 is about God\u2019s Domination over the Exalted Expanses and the Earth both as Lord-Sustainer \u2013\u2018Ruboobiyyah\/\u0631\u0628\u0648\u0628\u064a\u0651\u0629\u2019- and as Sole Deity \u2013\u2018Ilaahiyyah\/\u0625\u0644\u0647\u064a\u0629\u2019[3]<\/sup><\/a> or \u2018Uloohiyyah\u2019 as many pronounce it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    God showed Abraham His \u2018Malakoot\u2019 so that he would (observe and) become one of the \u2018Al Mooqineen\/The Ascertained-\u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0648\u0642\u0646\u064a\u0646\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
