Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 06)
Verses 24-32Verses 11-23


ONLY CLEAN HANDS SHOULD TOUCH QURAN
VERSE NO. 11-23
``Not so as you say! QurÌn is an effective reminder for those who are willing to bear it intheir mind or heart.''
These verses can be a knocking down answer to all accusations that the Pagan Arabs, and the enemies of Islam may say about Quran. The Pagan Arabs called it to be poetries, sorcery or soothsaying.
Verses of QurÌn are all facts and figures, containing all the necessary proofs in them for those who are willing to believe and apply them.
Of course, no one is compelled to accept the truth because the right from the wrong has been made distinct, and Man has a free will to choose.
God's Message is a universal, and for all mankind; young or old, male or female, rich or poor; and in any rank and position.
QurÌn which contains the whole Message, and all the commandments of God, has the highest spiritual value, and is held in the highest honour. Its place in the heart of a Moslim is more exalted than anything else.
Our prophet dictated the holy verses, and those who were chosen to write the prophet's dictation, were among the most honoured and virtuous Moslims; One of whom was Hazrat Imam Ali (AS).
Allah has promised to guard and protect QurÌn Himself. This is why among billiions of copies of this. Sacred Book, held by different sects of IslÌm, there is not the least amount of difference between any of them-those of old written by hands; or the new copies that have been printed.
Leaving the grandeur and sublimity of QurÌn, the verses apply to the blasphemy and ingratitude of Man:-
``Down with Man! What has made him so faithless and ungrateful? as not this proud creature created of a sperm-drop?! And is he not going to die and be buried so soon? And when Allah wills he raise him up again?''
The tone of the above verses, is such that God has counted the death among the blessings and gifts that He has bestowed on Man!
However, this is really true, and death is indeed a Mercy from God and a blessing,although we don't like it.
In other word, death is an inevitable event after the brief life upon this earth; but it is a great blessing among the infinite Mercy of God. It is a new birth in a new and more glorious world. It is a release from the imperfections of this life. It is the end of a probationary period; and a halt on Man's sinnings. It breaks the door of the cage or the prison, which is our material body.
After all, the death of one generation makes room for the next generation; and provides for Mankind to continue to live and to develop. Or else, the crowded human population would reach such an extreme that there would remain no place for others to live.
