185b. Guidance for
humanity, and clear portents of guidance, and the Criterion. |
To manifest the excellence of the blessed month of Ramadan God explained in the beginning of this verse that Holy Qur’an was begun to reveal upon the Last Messenger (ﷺ) in this month. Now following three characteristics of Holy Qur’an have been explained:
- Hudan (guidance) –Holy Qur’an is spring of guidance for the entire mankind. Every individual is able to follow the Straight Path; to reach the Creator and the object destination of life only by means of this Scripture. Any source of guidance other than Holy Qur’an misleads. Except it, every path will be the path of straying and deviation. Only Holy Qur’an is the Scripture which can guide unto the Right Path. Aggregately for passing worldly life successfully, Holy Qur’an provides all such principles and codes regarding its all aspects, which indicate towards the Straight Path and the aimed destination. It has been mentioned in this verse Hudal-linnaas (guidance for the entire mankind). For more details of the word ‘Guidance’ please study Lesson # 9 from Holy Qur’an (Straight Parh).
- Bayyinaatim-minal-hudaa – (clear proofs of the guidance), Holy Qur’an has so explained the entire principles and codes of guidance that these have become completely clear, easy, simple and light, and every individual can understand them easily because excellence of Holy Qur’an is ‘bayyinaat’ (clear proofs). Hence the principles of Holy Qur’an relate to common sense, simple and practicable. Nothing is against the wisdom and no principle is impracticable.
- ‘Al-furqaan – the Criterion (Separator of right from wrong), it is the third excellence of Holy Qur’an that the people who recite this Sacred Scripture, correct decision power grows into them. They become capable to make a distinction between true and false, just and absurd, truth and a lie, faith and infidelity, correction and quarrel, obedience and rebellion, worship and refusal. They can distinguish among good and bad. So ‘Al-Furqaan’ (the Criterion (of right and wrong) is also the characteristic of Holy Qur’an.
The Book like this, which has these three characteristics, if Her every command is not the Message of Life for mankind, then what is this? Its each command has been filled with countless auspiciousness, blessings and wisdom.
Would that the Muslims get it understood themselves, as well as cause to understand also to the world. If we are unable to spread the Word of God in every corner of the world then it would be dishonesty in the Trust.
