QURAN CHAPTER - 20
Taha - Taha
Revealed - Meccan
Ruku - 8
Ayat - 135
Theme - This Surah begins with the enunciation of the object of the Revelation of the Quran which is merely an admonition meant to guide on to the Right Path those who fear God and want to save themselves from His punishment.
- This Quran is the Word of the Master of the earth and the heavens and admiration belongs to Him alone. "These two facts are eternal whether one believes them or not."
- The guidance offered by God through His prophets
- The story of Moses
- Allah bestows Prophethood in a confidential manner just as He did in the case of Prophet Moses. Therefore you should not consider it strange if Hadrat Muhammad has been appointed as a Prophet all of a sudden and without any public proclamation.
- The fundamental principles presented by Prophet Muhammad - Tauheed and the Hereafter - are just the same as were taught to Prophet Moses at the time of his appointment.
- Prophet Muhammad has been made the standard bearer of the Message of the Truth among the people of the Quraish all by himself without material provisions, just as Prophet Moses was entrusted with the Mission to go to a tyrant king like Pharaoh and ask him to give up his attitude of rebellion.
- You, O People of Makkah, should note it well that Pharaoh employed the same devices against Prophet Moses as you are employing against Prophet Muhammad - frivolous objections, accusations, and cruel persecutions. You should know that Allah's Prophet came out victorious.
- The story of Adam
- After this the story of Prophet Adam has been related, as if to tell the Quraish, "The way you are following is the way of Satan, whereas the right way for a man is to follow his father Adam."
- The fundamental truths (Tauheed and Hereafter) inherent in all revealed religions are identical.
- Great emphasis has been laid on Salat so that it may create in the believers the virtues of patience, forbearance, contentment, resignation to the will of God and self analysis for these are greatly needed in the service of the Message of the Truth.
