ADHIKR

This Surath is named An-Nahl (Honey bee) from verse 68 which says: “And your Lord inspired to the bee”. It contains 128 verses which are revealed during the last period of Messenger’s Meccan life. Verse 50 of this Surath is one of the 15 places where compulsory Prostration of Recitation is commanded.

Lord sent down Adhikr to Messengers through His Angels to remind mankind that there is no deity except Him and to judge with It in whatever they differ in the Book. All 313 Messengers were sent down with Adhikr to teach that one should abstain from Satanic forces and serve the Lord alone. Allah has created heaven, earth, and all that in between from nothingness in the Best manner. Then He created livestock, fruits, crops, vegetables, honey, etc. for mankind. Then he gave man freedom either to be grateful or to be ungrateful. Lord is reminding mankind by explaining about different stages of worldly life like birth, childhood, puberty, adulthood, and feeble age. The believer should fulfill the contracts and promises made with the Lord as well as with mankind. Lord warns the believers not to be like an aimless woman who untwisted her spun thread after it was perfectly made. One should read Adhikr only by seeking refuge to the Lord from the outcasted Satan.

Surath reminds that Lord does not guide the aimless disbelievers who hide and reject Adhikr and who gives importance to bodily and worldly life than soul and the Hereafter. Such disbelievers will argue against themselves while they are reckoned. The Merciful Lord will forgive to those who have done offenses out of ignorance and repent and reform after getting the Knowledge Adhikr. By quoting Messenger Ibrahim, Lord commands the Messenger Muhammad and believers to follow his upright way of life. Lord commands Messenger and believers to be patient even if the people don’t believe after giving Adhikr, and reminds and consoles them that their duty is just to deliver the Message. One should invite mankind to the Straightpath only with Adhikr which contains Wisdom verses and Best Advices. the Lord is with the believer who keeps Him in his heart and lives by seeing Him through the Best Book.
