Fully enhanced and perfect presentation on Surah Rahman verse 190 191!

1. SURAH AL-IMRAN
VERSE NO 190-191

2. “Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the
earth and the alternation of the night and the day,
there are indeed signs for men of understanding”.

3. EXPLAINATION OF VERSE 190:
The background of this Verse is that the disbelievers, out
of hostility, requested the Holy Prophet Sallallahu
'Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him that he should
turn Mount Safa into solid gold. Thereupon, this verse
was revealed indicating that there were so many proofs
confirming the Truth all around them - why would they
not deliberate in them?
To determine the meaning of the expression 'ulul albab ,
we look into the word 'albab' which is the plural of lubb.
Lexically, it means the essence. Since the essence of
everything is its sum-total and the key to its nature and
uses, therefore, human wisdom has been called lubb,
for wisdom is the essence of human nature. Thus,
'albab' means 'the people of wisdom'.

4. WHAT DOES “CREATION OF THE HEAVENS AND
EARTH” MEANS?
 Since Khalq is a verbal noun which signifies
creation or origination, it means that there are, in
the creation of the heavens and the earth, great
signs of Allah Almighty.
 Among these created beings there are kingdoms
after kingdoms - each having different types and
states - yet each and every such created being is
comprehensively pointing out to its Creator.
 Going a little deeper, one would discover that 'the
heavens' is inclusive of all heights and 'the earth'
covers all lows, Thus, high or low, all dimensions
owe their existence to Allah Almighty.

7. WHAT DOES “ALTERNATION OF NIGHT AND
DAYS” MEANS?
 The word 'Ikhtilaf translated here as 'alternation' is derived
from the Arabic usage: (Such and such person arrived after
such and such person). So, the Arabic expression translated
as the alternation of the night and day' means that the night
goes and the day comes and when the day goes, night
comes.
 The word Ikhtilaf translated here as 'alternation' could
also be taken to mean increase or decrease. For
example, during winter, the night is long and the day is
short; while during the summer, the order is reversed

8.  the difference between the night and day is also
caused by the difference in the geographical
location of countries. For example, countries closer
to the North Pole have longer days as compared to
areas farther away from it.
 It should not be difficult to infer from each such
phenomena the essential proof of the most perfect
power of Allah Almighty.

10. “Those who remember Allah standing, sitting, and
lying down on their sides, and think deeply about
the creation of the heavens and the earth,
(saying): "Our Lord! You have not created this
without purpose, glory to You! Give us salvation
from the torment of the Fire.”

11. EXPLAINATION OF VERSE 191:
 Referring to the previous verse this verse give
characteristics of “People with Wisdom” who do Dhikr. Also
worth attention at this point is the fact that the Shari'ah of
Islam has not enjoined abundance in any other mode of
worship except Dhikr. But, about Dhikr, the command is:
(Remember Allah remembering abundantly). The reason is
that all modes of worship, other than Dhikr, have some
conditions and rules without observing which those acts of
worship are not considered to have been daily performed.
This is contrary to Dhikr which can be performed at all times
and under all conditions whether standing, sitting, lying, with
or without wudu. Perhaps, this verse is indicative of this
element of wisdom.
 Second sign is that they deliberate in the creations of
Heaven and Earth. This also a kind of Worship or Dhikr of
Allah(SWT).

12.  In this verse the “People with Wisdom” are
requesting Allah(SWT) to save them from the
torment of Hell Fire and praising Him.
