Gems of Qur'anic Knowledge and Wisdom - Part 2
Part 2
Tags: Giryah-u zari, Supplication, Hazrat Dawud
By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
Verses (2:155-157) in surah-yi Baqarah say: "Surely We will try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of goods and lives and fruits; yet give good tidings to the patient. Who, when they are visited by an affliction, say, 'Surely we belong to God, and to Him we return'; upon them are blessings and mercy from their Lord, and those - they are the truly guided."
The lovers of the Divine light must reflect intensely on this wisdom-filled saying, Amin! Benefit from the translation of the wise Qur'an. The great miracle of the Divine light is hidden in your giryah-u zari, supplications, prostrations of humility and ardent and humble prayer.
The wise Qur'an strongly praises giryah-u zari (19:58). Check carefully who those people were, the best example of whose pure tears is present and preserved in the pure Qur'an forever. It is my belief that Hazrat Dawud (a.s) became merged in God during his lifetime, by weeping extensively in Divine love therefore his supplications were moulded in the matrix of Divine revelation (wahy).
This holy saying is in surah-yi Bani Isra'il: "And We have preferred some Prophets over others; and We gave to David the Psalms." (17:55).
