2317 The marvel is that these parts, revealed at different times and in different circumstances, should fit together so closely
and consistently as they do. All revelation is progressive. The previous revelations were also progressive. Each of
them marked a stage in the world's spiritual history. Man's mind does not take in more than his spiritual state will have
prepared him, for Allah's revelation comes as a light to illuminate our difficulties and show us the way in actual
situations that arise. (17.106)
18:27 - And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord: none can
change His Words and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than Him. 2368
2368 His Words: His Commands, Decrees, Orders. (18.27)
29:45 - Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee and establish Regular Prayer: for
Prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds; and remembrance of Allah is the greatest
(thing in life) without doubt. And Allah knows the (deeds) that ye do. 3471
29:48 - And thou wast not (able) to recite a Book before this (Book came) nor art thou (able) to
transcribe it with thy right hand: in that case indeed would the talkers of vanities have doubted.
3478
3478 The holy Prophet was not a learned man. Before the Qur-an was revealed to him, he never claimed to proclaim a
Message from Allah. He was not in the habit of preaching eloquent truths as from a Book, before he received his
Revelation, nor was he able to write or transcribe with his own hand. If he had had these worldly gifts, there would
have been some plausibility in the charge of the talkers of vanities that he spoke not from inspiration but from other
people's books, or that he composed the beautiful verses of the Qur-an himself and committed them to memory in
order to recite them to people. The circumstances in which the Qur-an came bear their own testimony to its truth as
from Allah. (29.48)
32:15 - Only those believe in Our Signs who when they are recited to them fall down in adoration
and celebrate the praises of their Lord nor are they (ever) puffed up with pride. 3647
3647 "In adoration": Sujjadan, or in a posture of prostration, expressive of deep humility and faith. This is the keyword of the
Sura, which bears the title of Sajda. All the Signs of Allah lead our thoughts upwards towards Him, and when they are
expounded, our attitude should be one of humble gratitude to Allah. At this passage it is usual to make a prostration.
(32.15)
33:34 - And recite what is rehearsed to you in your homes of the Signs of Allah and His wisdom: for
Allah understands the finest mysteries and is well-acquainted (with them). 37163717
3716 The verb is uzkurna, feminine gender, as referring to the Azwaj again. It means not only "remember", but "recite",
"teach", "make known", "publish", the Message which ye learn at home from the holy Prophet, the fountain of spiritual
knowledge. The "Signs of Allah" refer specially to the verses of the Qur-an, and Wisdom to the resulting Instruction
derived therefrom. (33.34)
3717 Cf. xxii. 63 and n. 2844. Allah's understanding is perfect in every detail, however minute. Therefore use His Revelation
for every phase of life. (33.34)
73:4 - Or a little more; and recite the Qur'an in slow measured rhythmic tones. 5756
5756 At this time there was only S. xcvi., S. lxviii, and possibly S. lxxiv, and the opening Sura (Al-Hamd). For us, now, with
the whole of the Qur-an before us, the injuction is specially necessary. The words of the Qur-an must not be read
hastily, merely to get through so much reading. They must be studied, and their deep meaning pondered over. They
are themselves so beautiful that they must be lovingly pronounced in rhythmic tones. (73.4)
Sahih Muslim Hadith
Hadith 1757 Narrated by
AbuUmamah
AbuUmamah heard Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) say: Recite the Qur'an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will
come as an intercessor for those who recite it. Recite the two bright ones, al-Baqarah and Surah al-Imran, for on the Day of
Resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them.
Recite Surah al-Baqarah, for to take recourse to it is a blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot
confront it. (Mu'awiyah said: It has been conveyed to me that here Batala means magicians.)
