The english Tafseer
سورة الكوثر
إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ Inna aAAtaynaka alkawthar(a) Verily We-SWT have bestowed on you-SW Kauthar. (108:1) |
|
Fasalli lirabbika wa(i)nhar So pray you-SW to your-SW Rabb-SWT , and sacrifice, (108:2) |
إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ Inna shaniaka huwa alabtar(u) Truly it is your-SW traducer who shall be childless. (108:3) |
O' Prophet-SW! We-SWT blessed you-SW with virtue in abundance. Though Kauthar is a water reserviour in Jannah, yet here it also alludes to virtue which lies with the Holy Prophet-SW in totality. No concept of virtue or goodness exists outside the pale of his-SW teachings. So having been blessed as such, he must worship and obey Allaah-SWT and also sacrifice in His-SWT Cause. The camel, held in great esteem by the Arabs, its sacrifice was called Nahr. It alludes to a condition whereby the entire scheme of life gets moulded into worship and the love for wealth does not cross its way.
O' Prophet-SW! While your-SW’ enemies will be obscure in history; your-SW illustrious name shall echo till the end of time. This revelation was in response to the sarcastic comment of the infidels that the Holy Prophet-SW’s Message, or his-SW name would not endure through time as he-SW did not have a son. Allaah-SWT declared that it were they and their entire posterity who would fade away, while the Barakah of the Holy Prophet-SW will continue to illuminate the hearts of mankind for all times to come. And the atmosphere will continue to echo with his-SW most honoured name and on the Day of Reckoning he-SW shall intercede before Allah-SWT, an enviable position exclusively enjoyed by him-SW.
