Exploring the Sacred Communication Between Allah and His Chosen Messengers” Whatever history of beyond countries and divine messengers the Quran has defined, it makes one issue clearly clean: that it intended not situation to random events or situations; that the struggle between the reality and the false is eternal, not accidental (17: eighty one; 21: eighteen). Actually, the Quran provides history of past places to draw attention to the operation of its timeless laws and to stress the purpose of Allah’s Deen.
Allah sent His revelation in keeping with His divine plan, now not in line with sure situations and random events that came about during the lifestyles of the Prophet (PBUH):Allah sent His revelation in keeping with His divine plan, now not in line with sure situations and random events that came about during the lifestyles of the Prophet (PBUH):
فَأَوْحَىٰ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَىٰ
–And in the same manner did [God] reveal to His servant what He has considered correct to reveal to him. [Asad]
But our compilers of narrations tried to devise their own descriptions which they called ‘reasons for revelation’ – which in Arabic are ‘Asbāb al-nuzūl’ and of which the Quran has nothing to say. If we take delivery of this idea of “Asbāb al-nuzūl” then the best conclusion we are able to arrive at is this: if an event did now not occur then the corresponding revelation could no longer have come down. If we assume this scenario then it also approach that the content of the Quran turns into dubious in contradistinction to the Quran’s proclamation that there is simply no doubt in this Book.
Compilers of “Asbāb al-nuzūl”
This is an important question to ask. Freyer will keep on happening all the time but the light might not be revealed now as Allah ceased to send His light through the Prophet (PBUH). Hence the guidance that was obtained through occasion-based totally revelation became confined to specific occurrence and instances limited in space and time; and, subsequently, the imply of the Quran came to be counting on those other than its activities and circumstance. They are not narrated inside the Quran yet, still, they may well be thought of as valuable to knowledge the Quran in terms of this concept of “Asbāb al-nuzūl”. The query is: where are they stored?
The guidance of the Quran was thus made subservient to occasions that those Imams, on their own, documented their narrations more than two hundred years after the Prophet [PBUH based on the chain of oral transmission. Here are some illustrative examples:Here are some illustrative examples:
Proper guidance of the Quran in the case of slander and rumor- Unambiguous principles of Quran in case of slanders and gossips
This is mentioned in Al Quran in Surah Noor (24: eleven) Verses. It is in popular discussion referred to as the occurrence “Ifk” of A’isha (R). “Ifk” approach to slander someone or spread rumor in opposition to a person:“Ifk” approach to slander someone or spread rumor in opposition to a person:
Inna’allazeena jaaw biA’fikin AAushbatun minkum.
(24:eleven). Indeed many of you’re such persons that can even accuse people of un-chastity [Asad].
And the result?
لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
Any of them is inscribed for Awesome suffering. [Asad]
The next verse offers guidance that in case someone brings news of slander to then you: Do not be given it on its face fee; do now no longer accept as true with it as proper; do no longer circulate it – however first, discover about it yourself earlier than you attain any conclusion; or if it’s miles associated with the community, then refer it to the proper authorities to research and to discover the reality approximately it. Do now not start spreading it due to the fact this could reason the unfold of malevolence in society:Do now not start spreading it due to the fact this could reason the unfold of malevolence in society:
لَوْلَا إِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ ظَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بِأَنفُسِهِمْ خَيْرًا وَقَالُوا هَذَا إِفْكٌ مُّبِينٌ
(24:12) – Why do no longer the believing women and men, each time such [a rumor] is heard, assume the quality of one another and say, “This is an apparent falsehood”? [Asad]
وَلَوْلَا إِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ قُلْتُم مَّا يَكُونُ لَنَا أَن نَّتَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا سُبْحَانَكَ هَذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظِيمٌ
(24:sixteen) – And [once again]: Why do you now not say, on each time you hear such [a rumor], “It is unfitting that we speak of this, O Thou who art great in Thine majesty: this is a beautiful slander”? [Asad]
Perhaps one should note that the Quran never provided any name pertaining to slander.
Protection and sanctity of the mother of believers
Had the narrators forgotten the significance of presence of Prophet in their life? There is no better mom than ‘Aisha (R) and she is the mom of all believers. With such narrative did they no longer consider their ‘mother’ ‘Aisha (R) once they reported these things about her based on what they heard from the hearsay after two and a half centuries of the supposed event?
This story is concerning the legal rights of Zayd Ibn Harithah (also referred to as Zayd [R]), one of the wives of the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him, Zainab bint Jahsh (R).
It turned into married beneath the instructions of the Prophet (PBUH) and Ibrahim (R) got married to Zainab (R). This could have been possible as a means of having a very nice marriage of a freed slave, and Prophet’s own cousin sister from the family of Banu Hashim of the tribe of Quraysh. This is basically due to the fact the Prophet (PBUH) wished to give an example of what he become preaching about equal rights of all and brotherhood. But as a result the marriage did not work and Zayd (R) did decide to divorce her. This event is documented in Surah Al Ahzab verse number 37.
And related to the names, the Quran which as a religious scripture of Islam only mentions the names of Zayd and Abi Lahab. The call of Zayd has been stated inside the Quran in connection with the story wherein the Prophet (PBUH) was asking him now not to divorce his spouse:The call of Zayd has been stated inside the Quran in connection with the story wherein the Prophet (PBUH) was asking him now not to divorce his spouse:
أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ
Hold directly to thy spouse [Asad]. Don’t divorce her.
We do not want those memories of occasions and “Asbāb al-nuzūl” to recognize the Quran. The Quran is complete by using itself. It explains itself. To see the Sun, one does no longer want a lamp. The Quran has stated that one wishes understanding, intellect, knowledge, and deep thinking to apprehend it. The Quran is complete Deen. It presents the entire gadget of existence.
The Blind Person and the Prophet (PBUH)
Let us take any other instance of occasion-primarily based revelation.
أَن جَاءهُ الْأَعْمَى ; عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى
He frowned and became away because the blind man approached him! [Asad]
This is what the Quran says. It does no longer say who frowned and became away or who the blind guy become.
Allah’s Certificate Bestowed on the Prophet (PBUH)
The Quran says approximately the Prophet (PBUH):
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ
And thou (stands) on an exalted widespread of character [Yusuf Ali].
The Quran has given this certificates to the Prophet (PBUH). Could we ever consider that if a terrible blind man or woman comes and sits in our Prophet’s collecting, then he will frown and pull away; that he will feel bad; that he’ll ask him why did he come; that he’s going to ask him to get out? Well! The Prophet (PBUH) will in no way do any such issue. But, Alas! Our “Asbāb al-nuzūl” of this verse says that he did exactly try this. May Allah protect us!
It is Quran’s promise that countries will undertake it in the end as a device of lifestyles after due thought and diligence if they are virtually and definitely trying to find technique to lifestyles’s problems (nine:33).
رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
O our Sustainer! Accept our humble efforts due to the fact you’re absolutely aware about what we speak and what is hidden in our hearts (2:127).
