Three thing shall be under Arash (of Allah) on the Judgement Day. Part 2.

It is this special understanding that was implied in the reply of Ali (Karramullahu Wajhu – May Allah be kind to him) when he was asked by the people if he had received from Rasullulah s.a.w any special knowledge or instructions which were not received by others. Ali r.a said, “ I swear by Him Who made the Paradise and created life that I possess nothing special, except the clear understanding which Almighty Allah bestows upon a person in respect of the Quran."

Ibni Abu Dunya says that the knowledge of the Holy Quran and that which can be derived out of it are as vast as a boundless ocean.

The Branches of knowledge described above are like tools, i.e. essential pre requisite fo commentator. A commentary written by a person who is not thoroughly acquainted with these branches of knowledge will be based on his personal opinion, which is prohibited. The Sahabah (companions of the Holy Prophet s.a.w) already had Arabic language as their mother-tonque, and they reached the depth of the knowledge by means of their illuminating contact that they had with Rasullulah s.a.w.

Allahmah Suyuti says that those who think that it is beyond the capacity of a man to acquire Ilm Wahbi or gifted understanding, are not right. To get this knowledge from Allah, one should adopt the means to this end, e.g., acting upon the knowledge that one has acquired, and disinclination towards the world.

It is state in Kimia-e-Sa’adat that three person are not blessed with complete understanding of the Quran. First, one who is not well versed in Arabic, secondly, one who persists in committing a major sin or indulges in act of religious innovation, because these actions blacken his heart, which is turn prevent him from understanding the Quran. Thirdly, one who is a rationalist, even the matter of faith, and feel embarrassed when he reads an ayat of the Quran which he is not able to fully rationalize.

“May Allah protect us from all such sins and evils."
