Tafsir of Surah al-Ankabut – 6

March 16, 2025 / editor

Verse 6: Whoever strives, strives only for his own sake. Indeed Allah has no need of the creatures. Allah (swt) does not need
anything from us. He neither needs our struggles, nor our hard work. This means that whoever struggles, he does it for himself. The ulama and muffassireen have mentioned that this verse talks about Jihad al-Asghar (the Smaller Jihad) where the people take their weapons and fight the enemy.
When we believe and then do good deeds, 3 things happen: The first thing is that Allah (swt) wipes away our bad deeds. The
second thing is that we will be rewarded based on the best of what we did. Like sometimes when we go to the grocery store to buy fruits, we choose the best of what is available. Similarly we will all be rewarded based on the best of what we have done.
The third thing is that Allah (swt) will include us among the
swaliheen (to be explained in verse 9). We pray to Allah (swt) to grant us the correct understanding of the Holy Qur’an and help us to be amongst those who are good and also do good deeds. Ameen.

“When they became oblivious to warnings, We showered them with everything they desired. But just as they became prideful of what they were given, We seized them by surprise, then they instantly fell into despair.” (Q6:44)
Aside from the general meaning of the verse, another possible meaning according to Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a) is
When they became oblivious to warnings,
that when the people neglected their duty of being loyal [to Imam Ali (a)] after they had been commanded to do so,

Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf) in the Holy Qur’an – 3

March 16, 2025 / editor

Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari is reported to have said, “I asked the Holy Prophet (s): We know Allah and His Messenger, but who are those with authority, the obedience to whom Allah has attached to Him and to His Messenger?”
The Holy Prophet (saww) replied, “O Jabir, Those with authority are
my successors. The first of them is Ali ibn Abi Talib (a), followed by al-Hasan (a) and then al-Husayn (a). Then comes Ali ibn al-Husayn (a) and Muhammad ibn Ali (a) [also known as al-Baqir (a)]. You, Jabir, will live to meet him. When you do meet him, convey my salaams to him.
After him comes, al-Sadiq (a), followed by al-Kadhim (a). Then comes al-Ridha (a), al-Taqi (a), al-Naqi (a) and al-Askari (a).
The last of them is the one who will have the same name as me.
And it is he, al-Mahdi (ajtf). whose occultation (ghaybat) will take a long time. No one will believe in him except the true believers.”

Inspirations from the Holy Qur’an – 3

After recitation, we should collect the copies of the Qur’an in a respectful manner, and put them in the proper place. This is one of the highly recommended and liked etiquettes among the Muslims around the world, and they would frown upon leaving this Divine Book of such a high status, lying around after recitation.
Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have said that
whoever honors the Holy Qur’an will be honored on the Day of Judgement. (al-Kafi Vol. 2 Pg. 602, H. 14). One of the best ways to honor the Qur’an is to put it in an appropriate place.
In order to appreciate the high status of the Holy Qur’an, let us look at another hadith from the Holy Prophet (saww). He (s) said, “One who recites the Qur’an and thinks someone else has been granted better than him has looked down upon what Allah (swt) has honored, and honored what Allah (swt) has abased.” (Wasa’il al-Shi’ah Vol. 6, Pg. 170, H. 3)

The Holy Prophet (saww) is reported to have said, “Beautify the recitation of the Holy Qur’an with a pleasant voice.” (Wasa’il al-Shia Vol. 4 Pg. 859 H.6)
When the Holy Qur’an is being recited, listen to it attentively
and be silent, so that you may be shown mercy. (Q7:204)
Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have said, “When the
Holy Qur’an is being recited, be quiet and listen to it
attentively.” (Wasa’il al-Shia Vol 4 Pg. 861 H.4)

Imam Ali al-Ridha (a) is reported to have said, “The best time for reciting the Holy Qur’an is after the completion of the Morning Prayer.”
Imam al-Baqir (a) is reported to have said, “There is a spring for everything, and the spring of the Qur’an is the Month of Ramadhan.” (Al-Kafi Vol. 2 Pg. 630)
Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have said, “… Verily [the month of] Ramadhan has a special right and sanctity that the other months do not have. The Holy Qur’an is to be read in
a measured tone. When you come to a verse that mentions
Paradise, pause and ask Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, to grant you Paradise, and when you come to a verse that mentions
hellfire, then pause and seek refuge with Allah from the fire of hell.” (Al-Kafi. Vol. 2 Pg. 617)

“We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and
loss of property, life and crops. Give good news to those who
patiently endure...” (Q2:155)
Muhammad ibn Muslim asked Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a) the meaning of this verse. Imam (a) replied, “All believers will be tested with something they fear from, high prices of things (food), dealing with corruption, making low profits, sudden deaths of near and dear ones, shortage of products … and give good news to those who patiently persevere. The good news here refers to the re-appearance of Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf).

Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have said, “ The pious ones are the shias of Imam Ali (a) and the unseen is Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf). The proof of these words is seen in the verse below:
They ask, “ Why has no [other] sign been sent down to him from his Lord?” Say, [O Prophet] The knowledge of the unseen is with Allah alone. So wait! I too am waiting with you.” (Q10:20)
