CallingtoPeace

We sent it (this Quran) down on a blessed night

and some of them are still waiting

Verily, such (behaviour) annoys the Prophet,

We have no knowledge, verily, only You are the All-Knower

Allah has lightened [the hardship] for you,

Allah says in His Book in surah al-Anfaal:

‎ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّـهِ وَلِلرَّ‌سُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ

Oh you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. [8:24]

In his book of tafsir, al-haafidh Ibn Kathirmentioned:

‎وقال قتادة ( لما يحييكم ) قال : هو هذا القرآن ، فيه النجاة والتقاة والحياة

Qataadah said: “to that which gives you live” – refers to this Qur’an, in which there is salvation, piety and life.

Tafseer al-Baghawi (rahimahullah):

Abdullah ibn Mas’ood (radiyAllahu ‘anhu), used to pray at night (the night prayers) and (when he) would see his small child sleeping then he would say, “this is for your bright future” and whilst crying would recite:

وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَالِحًا

“And their father was righteous” Surat al-Kahf, 82

lbn Abbas (radiyAllahu ’anhu) said (commenting on this verse):

 “They (the two orphans mentioned in Surah al-Kahf) were protected by the righteousness of their father.”

Saeed lbn Musayyib (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) said: “I worship, and then when I remember my child(ren), I increase in my worship"

كانوا يتواصون عند الشدائد:

They used to comfort each other upon facing calamities by saying:

إنما هي ايّام قلائل والموعد الجنة!

Allah has lightened [the hardship] for you,
