Lesson
Firaa-shan – (floor), the thing, which
has been spread or such solid and plain thing on which we may put our feet and
walk. It is not necessary that for being plain, that thing must be a
rectangular or in square form. But any round surface may also be used as a
floor.
‘Andaadan – (Rivals), partners,
co-sharers, confederates etc. this word is plural of nidd, which is used in Arabic language for “opponent and competitor”
as well as for “like, analogous, resembling and similar” etc. therefore the
meaning of this word may be “opponent and like” both.
Acquaintance about God Almighty was described in the previous
verse that He must be accepted as our Creator and the Creator of the people
before us. In this verse, some more Signs have been narrated. It is stated that
the virtue of God as a Creator, works in the earth or mother’s womb and the
mankind cannot see it. So other virtues which are obvious, are explained, so
that every individual - younger or older may think about it.
Keeping the mankind’s life in existence, producing means for its
existence and conducting the human life up to the last stage of development
gradually, is only in the powers of his Lord ‘God Almighty’. Here it is told
that He is Lord of the mankind and He is the One Who has collected all sources
to keep him in existence after his birth. In this connection, following matters
come before us for meditation:
1. The earth, on
which we live and move hither and thither, is the resting place spread by Allah
Almighty.
2. The sky, which
has been put over the heads of mankind by God; like a canopy and which is the
best source of light.
3. For arrangement
of food and water for daily use of mankind, He produces fruit of different
colors and tastes by showering down the rains from the sky, which the mankind
eats, drinks and uses for many other purposes. So it has been proved that the
mankind is indigent of his Lord for existence and to remain living.
Therefore, he should perceive “the Worshiped” to the same Lord
(God Almighty). It has also been told in this verse that the name of that Lord
Who has all these virtues, is Allah Almighty. The mankind should never make any
partner or co-sharer of Allah Almighty. In this verse, God commanded to Worship
Him only, after causing to understand and recognizing the mankind His blessings
and pities, so that he may worship Him after knowing Him properly. Without
acquaintance, the worshipper cannot acquire Abstinence in his heart.
