An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur'an vol. 14
From Surah al- ‘Ankabut (29) verse 45 to Surah al-Azhab (33) The light
of Islam has enlightened and continuing to enlighten every corner in the
world and seekers of truth have closely associated to the Holy Quran
which carries the Word of Allah (SWT) to humanity. With increasing focus
and attention to the Holy Quran, efforts has been done to provide a
pure, correct and accurate translation of this divine book. But
sometimes it is difficult for the readers to understand all of the
apparent and hidden meanings and it is the duty of every Muslim, man or
woman, to read, understand and contemplate on the Holy Qur’an according
to his own capacity. Hence, the need for proper explanation becomes
obvious and necessary. The book titled, “An Enlightening Commentary into
the Light of the Holy Qur’an” compiled by a group of Muslim scholars,
under the direction of Ayatullah Allamah Al-Hajj Sayyid Kamal Faqih
Imani is a valuable effort which presents a thorough commentary on the
Quran in 20 volumes made available to the reader.

***In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful***

This Surah is one of 29 Suras that begin with abbreviated letters and
after which the Qur’an is glorified.

It is one of the four Suras of Qur’an which contain obligatory
prostration. According to the tradition recorded in Majma‘-ul-Bayan, the
holy Prophet (S) used to recite this Surah and Surah Al-Mulk every night
before sleeping.

Similar to other Meccan Suras, there are some almost detailed
explanations about Origin and Resurrection in this Surah, too. The end
of the disbelievers is also mentioned in it, in order that the faith of
the believers and their steadfastness against the pressure of the
enemies would be strengthened.

To perform bowing and prostration at night, when people are asleep, is
mentioned as one of the specialities of the true believers pointed out
in verse No. 25, the recitation of which needs obligatory prostration.
