24:37 - By men whom neither traffic nor merchandise can divert from the Remembrance of Allah
nor from regular Prayer nor from the practice of regular Charity: their (only) fear is for the Day
when hearts and eyes will be transformed (in a world wholly new) 30073008
3007 "Remembrance of Allah" is wider than Prayer: it includes silent contemplation, and active service of Allah and His
creatures. The regular Prayers and regular Charity are the social acts performed through the organised community.
(24.37)
3008 Some renderings suggest the effects of terror on the Day of Judgment. But here we are considering the case of the
righteous, whose "fear" of Allah is akin to love and reverence and who (as the next verse shows) hope for the best
reward from Allah. But the world they will meet will be a wholly changed world. (24.37)
62:9 - O ye who believe! when the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly)
hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah and leave off business (and traffic): that is
best for you if ye but knew! 546154625463
5462 The idea behind the Muslim weekly "Day of Assembly" is different from that behind the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday) or
the Christian Sunday. The Jewish Sabbath is primarily a commemoration of Allah's ending His work and resting on the
seventh day (Gen. ii. 2; Exod. xx. 11): we are taught that Allah needs no rest, nor does He feel fatigue (ii. 255). The
Jewish command forbids work on that day but says nothing about worship or prayer (Exod. xx. 10); our ordinance lays
chief stress on the remembrance of Allah. Jewish formalism went so far as to kill the spirit of the sabbath, and call
forth the protest of Jesus: "the sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath" (Mark. ii. 27). But the
Christian Church, although it has changed the day from Saturday to Sunday, has inherited the Jewish spirit: witness
the Scottish Sabbath; except in so far as it has been secularised. Our teaching says: 'When the time for Jumua Prayer
comes, close your business and answer the summons loyally and earnestly, meet earnestly, pray, consult and
learn by social contact; when the meeting is over, scatter and go about your business'. (62.9)
61:10 – O ye who believe! shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty?
5443
5443 Tijarat: bargain, trade, traffic, transaction: something given or done, in return for something which we desire to get.
What we give or do on our part is described in verse 11 below, and what we get is described in verse 12. It is truly a
wonderful bargain: what we are asked to give is so little; what we are promised in return is so much. There comes
Allah's unbounded Bounty and Munificence. Cf. also ix. 111, where the bargain is stated in another way. (61.10)
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 3744 Narrated by
Abdullah Ibn Abbas
When the verse: "O ye who believe! eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities, but let there be amongst you
traffic and trade by mutual good will" was revealed, a man thought it a sin to eat in the house of another man after the
revelation of this verse. Then this (injunction) was revealed by the verse in Surat an-Nur: "No blame on you whether you eat
in company or separately." When a rich man (after revelation) invited a man from his people to eat food in his house, he
would say: I consider it a sin to eat from it, and he said: a poor man is more entitled to it than I. The Arabic word tajannah
means sin or fault. It was then declared lawful to eat something on which the name of Allah was mentioned, and it was made
lawful to eat the flesh of an animal slaughtered by the people of the Book.
TRANQUILITY:
2:248 –And (further) their Prophet said to them: "A sign of his authority is that there shall come to
you the Ark of the Covenant with (an assurance) therein of security from your Lord and the
relics left by the family of Moses and the family of Aaron carried by angels. In this is a Symbol
for you if ye indeed have faith." 281282283
282 Security: sakina-safety, tranquility, peace. Later Jewish writings use the same word for a symbol of God's Glory in the
Tabernacle or tent in which the Ark was kept, or in the Temple when it was built by Solomon. (2.248)
9:26 - But Allah did pour His calm on the apostle and on the believers and sent down forces which
ye saw not: He punished the unbelievers: thus doth He reward those without faith. 1276
1276 Sakina: calm, peace, security, tranquillity. Cf. ii. 248. The Prophet never approved of over-weening confidence, or
reliance merely upon human strength, or human resources or numbers. In the hour of danger and seeming disaster,
he was perfectly calm, and with cool courage relied upon the help of Allah, Whose standard he carried. His calmness
inspired all around him, and stopped the rout of those who had turned their backs. It was with Allah's help that they
won, and their victory was complete. They followed it up with an energetic pursuit of the enemies, capturing their
camps, their flocks and herds, and their families, whom they had boastfully brought with them in expectation of an
easy victory. (9.26)
