English Translation of Al-Quran
[28].Surah Al-Qasas [The Narration]
Ayat 9. And the wife of Firaun (Pharaoh) said: "A comfort of the eye
for me and for you. Kill him not, perhaps he may be of benefit to us, or
we may adopt him as a son." And they perceive not (the result of that).
Tafseer of Surah Al-Qasas (The Narration) Ayat 9. The wife of Pharaoh
said: "(Here is) joy of the eye, for me and for thee: slay him not. It
may be that he will be use to us, or we may adopt him as a son." And
they perceived not (what they were doing)! He was a darling to look at,
and Pharaoh had apparently no son, but only a daughter, who afterwards
irony. This is on the supposition that the Pharaoh was Totems In all
life Providence so orders things that Evil is defeated by its own
weapons. Not only is it defeated, but it actually, though unwittingly,
advances the cause of Good! In non-religious language this is called the
work of the Ironic Fates. If Thomas Hardy had not made Napoleon the
Puppet of Fate in his "Dynasts", he could well have taken Pharaoh as an
illustration of the Irony of Fate, or, as we should prefer to call it,
the working of the Universal Plan of Allah.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Shahr bin Haushab reported: I asked Hazrat Umm Salamah (May
Allah be pleased with her), "O Mother of the Believers! Which
supplication did the Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) make frequently when he was in your house?” She said: "Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) supplicated frequently: ‘Ya muqallibal-qulubi, thabbit
qalbi ‘ala dinika (O Controller of the hearts make my heart steadfast in
Your religion).” [At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 3522].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Qasas Ayat 09 “And they
perceive not (the result of that)” Steadfastness in religion is the
conduct of great men, which cannot be acquired without the special Grace
of Allah. There occur many turns in a person’s life when he becomes
slack or negligent in religious matters or when he deviates from the
course prescribed by religion. This prayer has outstanding importance
for such people who are faced with such a situation. They should recite
this prayer very frequently. In fact they should make its recitation a
permanent feature.
