(Q) TILAAWAH (RECITATION) OF THE NOBLE QUR'AN

QUESTION

Huroof Al-Muqatta'aat and Ayaat Al-Mutashaabihaat contain neither a command nor any principle of Islamic Law. When we se
e no benefit in them as far as Islamic Law is concerned, do we still have to recite such verses or not? Why did Allah include them in the Noble Qur'an from which we cannot derive any rules or commands, when in Mr. Parwez's view the Qur'an is just only a Book of Law?

ANSWER

The verses of Quran are divided in two types Mokhamaat and motashabahat (3/6).

Mokhamaat are those in which we take the real meaning of words. For example in the subject of nikkha/marriage Quran says Haramat alekum umaathukum(4/23) "your mothers are haram for you". Here uma will be taken in real meaning of "mother".

In other place Quran says Mukamaat verses are umul kitab (3/6). Here the meaning of umm will not be real mother but it will be base or foundation so the verse is in the allegorical or symbolic form.
SUMMA ASTWA ALALARSH (7/54) "God sat on arsh". HERE the meaning will not be that God sat on ceremonial chair but it will be God has ultimate power or HE IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY.

With the passage of time the knowledge of human being will increase and reciprocally the meanings and understanding of motashbahaat will be more clearer and will convert into mokhamaat.

Haroof Maqtahat are the abbreviations used to describe the attributes of God or used to address the last Prophet. Most of the muslim scholars and muslims thinks or says the meanings of Haroof Maqtahat are not known to anyone except God. This concept is not correct because it is against the message of Quran. God says for the Book,it is crystal clear (MUBEEN), it is fully detailed and self explanatory (MUFASIL) and has no doubt or ambiguity (LA-RAIB). It will contradictory to all its above given claims if we will say some of its meanings are known to God only.

Almost at thirteen(13) places in Quran the Arabs asked the questions (YASALONAKA) from the Prophet about the things which they were not knowing or their concepts were wrong. For example they asked, what is RIBA, what is ANFAAL, what is KHUMAR, how they should spend their money but interestingly they never asked about these Harroof Maqtahat like what is Alif Laam Meem. The reason is very simple, they were knowing what God is saying.

One thing should be clear, in Arabic language it is not necessary the abbreviations should start with the initial letters, these can start with middle or last letter of the word. For example in word Baseer, the abbreviation will not start with letter BAY, it will start with letter Suaad.

We will mention the full words of these abbreviations and where in Quran these are used.

Alif-Lamm- Meem (Chapter 2,3,29,30,31,32) Aleem and Hakeem.
Alif-Laam-Meem-suaad (Chapter 7) Aleem,Hakeem and Baseer.
Alif-Laam-Raa (Chapter 10.11,12,14,15) Aleem and Raheem.
Alif-Lamm-Meem-Raa (Chapter 13) Aleem, Hakeem and Raheem.
Kaaf-Hhey-Yeh-An-Suaad (chapter 19) Kareem, Hadi, Heye, Aleem and Baseer.
-Tuaa (Chapter 20) O, Mukhatib ( addressee). It was used to address Prophet Mohammed. Letter "Tho-a" is used in word MUKHATIB.
-Tuaa,Seen,Meem (Chapter 26,2 Thool, Samee and Aleem.
-Tuaa,Seen (Chapter27) Thool and Samee.
-Ya-seen (Chapter 36) O, human( A INSAAN) used to address Prophet Mohammed.
-Suaad (Chapter 3 Sadaqat (Truth) Quran itself is witness on this truth.
-Hey-Meem (Chapter 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46) Hakeem and Aleem.
-Kaaf (Chapter 50) Kaf (stop and listen ).
-Noon (Chapter 68 )Noon was used in picture form language for ink, sword and fish. Zun-noon is used for Prophet Younus to denote his relation with fish. Here we can used NOON for "ink" due to its close relation to Qalam ( Noon wa Qalam). Noon can be used for "sword" and Qalam for Quran itself. Both Quran and sword protect each other. Quran control sword so it should not be dictator and breaking the rules of power. Sword protect Quran so it should not be in the lecture form only, it has to be implemented on the land for power.
An-Meem (O'Prophet) Do you know ( MALOOM). Maloom contains both letters "An and Meem".

The English translation of these abbreviations are given below. One thing should be kept in mind, translation of Arabic words in any language is not able to express the depth and understanding of the words which is itself hidden in its original form.

ALEEM having extreme deep unlimited knowledge.
HAKEEM who created, runs, and control the all universes in right and balance path.
BASEER can see continuously every thing anywhere and anytime.
RAHEEM providing nourishment continuously for the forward progress(progressive evolution).
KAREEM giving benefits while keeping the dignity and honour of
humanity.
HADI Guide(n),who guide in right direction.
SAMEE listener
