[81] Surah At-Takwir [The Folding Up]
Ayat 15. So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night).
Ayat 16. And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves,
Ayat 17. And by the night as it departs;
Ayat 18. And by the dawn as it brightens;
Tafseer of Surah At-Takwir Ayat 15. So verily I call to witness the Planets that recede, for the witness that the heavenly bodies bear symbolically to the power, beauty, and goodness of Allah, in sending His Revelation. for the significance of an adjuration in the Qur'an. The appeal here is made to three things, the Planets, the Night, and the Dawn. (1) The Planets have a retrograde and a forward motion, and during occultation, hide or disappear behind the sun or moon, or are otherwise invisible or appear stationary. They behave differently from the millions of stars around them. Yet they are not mere erratic bodies, but obey definite laws, and evidence the power and wisdom of Allah. 16. Go straight, or hide; 17. And the Night as it dissipates; How the Night gradually declines after its height at midnight! It seems gradually to steal away, and as Dawn approaches, to merge into Day. So a soul in spiritual darkness gradually awakes to its spiritual Dawn through Revelation. 18. And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness; The slow "breathing out" of the darkness by the Dawn, showed us, by beautiful imagery, that these mysterious operations, of which people in their ignorance are frightened if they have to do with darkness, are really beneficent operations of Allah. They have nothing to do with evil spirits, or witches, or magic. For three questions were actually raised about the Prophet's Ministry by the ignorant (1) Did his wonderful works come from himself and not from Allah? (2) Was he possessed by an evil spirit? In other words, was he mad? For that was the theory of madness, then current. (3) Was he a soothsayer, or necromancer, or magician? For he had virtues, powers, and eloquence, so extraordinary that they could not understand him.
Hadith الحدیث
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Ibn Masood (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Truth leads to piety and piety leads to Jannah. A man persists in speaking the truth till he is enrolled with Allah as a truthful. Falsehood leads to vice and vice leads to the Fire (Hell), and a person persists in telling lies until he is enrolled as a liar".'
[Muslim Book 32, Chapter 26, Hadith # 6306].
Lesson: Siddiq (veracious) and Kadhdhab (liar) both are adjectives of intensive degree. That is to say, the words stand respectively for someone whose truth has become his second nature; and in the opposite case, one is a liar who is in the habit of telling lies. As one acquires a reputation in this world for his good or bad deeds similar is his position before Allah. One who is ranked among the truthful with Him is entitled to reward, and if one is a liar, he has to suffer retribution for it. This Hadith provides incentive for truthfulness because it is a source of every good deed and contains a warning against lying as it gives rise to all kinds of mischief.
