Gems of Qur'anic Knowledge and Wisdom - Part 10

Part 10

By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.

     Huwa'l-Awwal huwa'l-Akhir huwa'z-Zahir huwa'l-Batin 
     Munazzah maliku'l-mulki kih bi-payan hashr darad

(He is the First, He is the Last, He is the Manifest, He is the Hidden. He is the pure Sovereign of a kingdom that has countless resurrections.)

I am very poor and feeble in every [kind of] knowledge, therefore I cannot [duly] praise this wisdom-filled verse of Hakim Pir Nasir Khusraw (May God sanctify his secret), whereas the great secrets of Qur'anic wisdom and recognition of paradise are hidden in it. The "Knowledge of Resurrection" is the most rare and the most hidden knowledge in this world but the firm certainty with which Pir sahib (May God sanctify his secret) refers to it in this verse alludes that resurrection, which is the eternal attribute of the Living, the Everlasting (al-Hayy al-Qayyum), always continues to be renewed because it is an endless chain of wonders, marvels and great miracles.

O Allah! For the sake of all your favourite Qur'anic prayers have mercy and grace on our pitiable condition, Amin!

"And they esteem not Allah as He has a right to be esteemed." (39:67).
