Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 8 330 1 یۃ آ اْل ا یۃ آ اْل ا َو اَنْعَزَن اَم ْيِف ْمِهِرْوُدُص ْنِّم ٍّلِغ. . . َو اَنْعَزَن اَم ْيِف ْمِهِرْوُدُص ْنِّم ٍّلِغ. . . Jesus had also promised the disciples thrones, but the prom- ise was broken. For, there was a promise of twelve thrones, but that of Judas Iscariot was broken when he did not remain steadfast. So how can we rely on the others? But the throne of the Companions ra remained standing in this world and the Hereafter. Therefore, what a matter of pride this verse 2 َمْوَيْلَا ُتْلَمْكَا ْمُكَل َمْوَيْلَا ُتْلَمْكَا ْمُكَل is for the Muslims! Lailatul-Qadr— the Time of the Coming of the Holy Prophet, may Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him Now put these things together and consider that he came at a time when it was completely dark [i. e. a time of ignorance]. As He says: 3 ۤاَّنِا ُهٰنْلَزْنَا ْيِف ِةَلْيَل ِرْدَقْلا ۤاَّنِا ُهٰنْلَزْنَا ْيِف ِةَلْيَل ِرْدَقْلا One Lailatul-Qadr is that which takes place in the last part of the night when Allah the Exalted manifests Himself and extends His hand for anyone who prays and does istighf a r [asks for forgiveness] so He may accept it. But it has another mean- ing, which the ulema are opposed to and do not believe in, 1. And We shall remove whatever of rancour may be in their breasts so that they will become as brothers reclining on couches, facing one another ( S u rah al- H ijr, 15:48). [Publisher] 2. S u rah al-M a ’idah, 5:4 [Publisher] 3. Surely, We sent it down on the Night of Destiny ( S u rah al-Qadr, 97:2). [Publisher]
