    Commentary

Prophet Jonah (peace be upon him) came out from the township and embarked on a boat to cross the river. The boat began to drown in the centre of the river. The people said: Any slave; deserted from his master; exists on the board of the boat. Drop him in the river then the boat will go forth! They cast lots, then the name of Jonah (peace be upon him) came out thrice. In the end’ he jumped into the river and a big fish swallowed him (peace be upon him). Allaah Almighty commanded to the fish: Keep him in your belly as a trust. He (peace be upon him) is not for your food. We have imprisoned him in your belly.

In that dark closet, Jonah (peace be upon him) cried out unto Allaah Almighty: You are free from all defects. I am guilty without any doubt that I fixed three days for coming of torment upon them without Your Commandment, and then I deserted from the township without Your Order.

Allaah Almighty commanded to the fish: Throw him (peace be upon him) out on the bank of the river!

It is on the record that Jonah (peace be upon him) remained four hours in the belly of the fish. Allaah Almighty commands: We heard his prayer and saved him from that narrow and dark place. We save likewise them from distresses who believe in Us.

    Commentary

Zal-kifl – (Dhu’l-Kifl, one who accepts responsibility), he is one of the Prophets (peace be upon them) from the Children of Israel. During early stage, he (peace be upon him) was a righteous person who took in charge that he will obey the Commandments of Allaah Almighty. On this he was appointed as a Prophet (peace be upon him).

‘As-Saalihiin – (Righteous people), this word is plural of Saalih, which has been derived from the word salaha. Salah and salaahiyyat means “harmony, concord of sounds, agreement, sanctity”, that is to say; their nature was ready every time to do good works.

Mugaaziban – (being enraged), it is the subject from the word mugaazabatun, which has come out from gazab. Gazab means “dissatisfaction, anger and fury etc.” Mugaazibun means “the person who proclaims of his displeasure on any other’s ill-mannered work, and is angry”.

It is commanded: Ishmael, Idris and Dhu’l-Kifl (peace be upon them) were also among Our righteous slaves. They endured troubles in Our obedience and had patience. We brought them in unto Our Mercy. These all were such people whose nature used to accept good things immediately.

After that, there is mention of Dhu’n-Nuun, which is a title of Prophet Jonah (peace be upon him). He was an obedient slave and worshipper of Allaah Almighty. He prevented the people of his folk from idol-worshipping but they did not admit. Therefore, he (peace be upon him) was displeased and went off by saying: “During next three days; you will be involved in difficulties”. He (peace be upon him) said this in anger. Then without waiting for the Command of Allaah Almighty, he departed from the township. It is commanded: he would have thought that he would go out of Our Control.

Prophet Job (peace be upon him)

Chapter “The Prophets” – (Suratul – ‘Ambiyaaa’ - 21)

 ‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

وَأَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَسَّنِىَ ٱلضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ 83

فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِۦ مِن ضُرٍّ وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ أَهْلَهُۥ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا وَذِكْرَىٰلِلْعَٰبِدِينَ 84  

83.  And Job, when he called to his Lord, (saying): Lo! Adversity afflicteth me, and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy. 84.  Then We heard his prayer and removed that adversity from which he suffered, and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them, a Mercy from Our store, and a Remembrance for the worshippers.

83.  Wa  ‘Ayyuuba  ‘iz  naadaa  Rabbahuuu  ‘annii  massani-yaz-zurru  wa  ‘anTa  ‘Arhamur-raa-himiin. 84.  FastajabNaa  lahuu  fakashaf-Naa  maa  bihii  min-  zurrinw-wa  ‘aatay-Naahu  ‘ahlahuu  wa  mislahum-ma-‘ahum  Rahmatam-min  ‘indiNaa  wa  Zikraa  lil-‘aabidiin.

    Commentary

Prophets (peace be upon them) are practical example of life, foundation of which is “turning the attention entirely unto Allaah Almighty, being thankful to Him during prosperity, having patience at the time of adversity and supplicating in His Court for removing the troubles. One of those Prophets was Job (peace be upon them), who beheld both conditions. At first he was in satiated condition. Wealth, children and servants etc. every facility was given to him (peace be upon him). At that time he was thankful to Allaah Almighty and used to obey His all commandments.

Then he (peace be upon him) was examined by afflictions. He suffered from a painful disease and everything was snatched from him. But he showed a rare pattern of patience. After all, he called to his Lord and prayed for deliverance from the disease. Allaah Almighty accepted his supplication, cured him completely, returned him entire household goods, children, servants, wealth and property; which he had lost. And He bestowed him the like thereof in addition to that which had been lost, so that He may show Example of His Mercy and remind the people who worship Him that “We are Present every time to help them; whenever they draw their attention unto Us”.

Gifts and honors for Solomon (peace be upon him)

Chapter “The Prophets” – (Suratul – ‘Ambiyaaa’ - 21)

 ‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 وَلِسُلَيْمَٰنَ ٱلرِّيحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِى بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِىبَٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَٰلِمِينَ 81

 وَمِنَ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ مَن يَغُوصُونَ لَهُۥ وَيَعْمَلُونَ عَمَلًا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَوَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حَٰفِظِينَ 82  

81.  And unto Solomon (We subdued) the wind in its raging. It set by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are Aware. 82.  And of the evil ones (subdued We unto him) some who dived (for pearls) for him and did other work, and We were Warders unto them-

81.  Wa  li-Sulaymaanar-riiha  ‘aasifatan  tajrii  bi-‘amrihiii  ‘ilal-‘arzillatii  baarakNaa  fii-haa.  Wa  kuNnaa  bi-kulli  shay-‘in  ‘aalimiin. 82.  Wa  minash-shayaatiini  many-yaguusuuna  lahuu  wa  ya’-maluuna  ‘amalan-  duuna  zaalik.  Wa  kunNaa  lahum  Haafiziin.

    Commentary

‘Aasifatan – (in its raging), it is the subject from the word ‘asfun, which means “raging of wind”. ‘Aasifatan means “a furious blow of wind”.

Yaguusuuna – (they used to dive), this word has come out from gawasa, which means “to plunge, to dive”. Yaguusuuna means “they used to dive”.

It is commanded that We had given the wind in the control of Solomon (peace be upon him) which used to blow in its raging. In Chapter 38 (Surah Saaad, Part - 23), it will come that “the wind used to blow slowly and softly”. By mixing up the both verses; it comes out that the wind could be customized by the command of Solomon (peace be upon him), that is to say, sometimes it used to blow in its raging but sometimes in slow and steady condition. It used to lift up and carry the throne of Solomon (peace be upon him) and bring it back to Syria, which was a blessed country.

Then it is commanded: We know very well the power of the wind and how can it be used. We had subdued some evil ones and souls also unto Solomon (peace be upon him). They used to dive in the sea by his command and bring out pearls and gems for him. In addition to this, they used to do other works also according to his (peace be upon him) Will. They were unable to spoil or destroy anything because they all were in Our Watch.
