With the name of Allah, the Impartial, the Compassionate.
(57) Al Hadeed
This verse got the name Al-Hadeed-The Iron-from the 25th verse which says “We also sent down the Iron”. This was revealed during Messenger’s Madeena life in the fifth year of Hijra. This is one of the seven Surah named Musabihath starting by Glorifying the Lord.It is told in this Surah that whatever in the heavens and earth glorified Allah who is the First and the Last, the Apparent and the Hidden, the Three Time Knower and the Almighty, the Exalted and the Wise. He, the One who has the dominion of the universe is with the mankind wherever they are. He, the one who embed the night in the day, and the day embed in the night knows the status of the chests. By reminding the believers that those who spend the wealth and who suffer sacrifice at the time of crisis and those who spend the wealth and who suffer sacrifice at the time of peace won’t be equal near Allah, this Surah commands the believers to spend their wealth for propagating Adhikr in order to fulfill the aim of life. This Surah warns the pathetical scene of the hypocrites begging to the believers for the Light in the Hereafter. It teaches the believers that they shouldn’t be like those who were given the Book before by becoming the heart hardened towards the Lord’s Book-Adhikr, and reminds that whoever is testifying Adhikr, such are the Victors, and those who are hiding and rejecting Adhikr are the inmates of the Hades. All Messengers have been deputed in different periods with Adhikr which is the Evidence and Balance of Justice to establish Justice among the mankind. This Surah teaches that those who utilize the Guidance Adhikr after receiving are the Guided, and those who do not utilize It after receiving are the transgressors. Along with teaching that monasticism is not taught by Jesus, whoever doesn’t follow it as it should be followed are the transgressors. This Surah containing 29 verses ends by declaring that none has the monopoly upon Adhikr which is the Bounty of the Lord of the universe of entire worlds, and so anyone can learn It by praying to Lord and by utilizing It.
