“This is the Book (the Quran), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)].”
[Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) - سورة البقرة C.2 V.2]
THE INTERPRETATION OF “DHALIKA‘L-KITAB”:
Most of the exegetes said that the interpretation of the words of Allah, the Sublime,’dhiilika’l-kitab’ is: This ‘is the’ Book.
THE INTERPRETATION OF “LA RAIBA Fl-HI”:
Which' refers to 'the Book', and it means: There is no doubt about this Book, that it is from Allah, a guidance for those who fear Allah.
THE INTERPRETATION OF “HUDAN”:
[Hudan - means:] Guidance from going astray. Huda, in this context, is a verbal noun derived from the expression 'I guided (hadaitu) so-and-so along the way', when one showed it to him, pointed it out to him, made it clear to him.
THE INTERPRETATION OF LI-'L-MUTTAQI-NA:
The best interpretation of Alla’s words”a guidance for the Allah-fearing”. is that of those who characterize these people as being those who fear Allah with respect to the perpetration of what He has forbidden them to do and thus keep away from acts of disobedience to Him, and who fear him in those duties He has commanded them to perform and thus obey Him in performing them. For Allah has attributed fear of Allah (taqwa) to them, without limiting their fear of Him to some things which He deserves to be feared in and not others. Thus no one can restrict the meaning of this term by describing them as fearing Allah in one thing and not another unless he gives a proof which absolutely demands acceptance. For God would not have failed to clarify for His servants such a characteristic of these people--if taqwa were limited to a special, rather than a general, meaning-either in His Book or from the tongue of His Messenger (salAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).
Taqwa, and the verbs and nouns connected with the root, signify: the fear of Allah, which, according to the writer of Proverbs ‘ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.’ [ Proverbs - 1:7] in the Old Testament, is the beginning of Wisdom; restraint, or guarding one's tongue, hand, and heart from evil; hence righteousness, piety, good conduct. All these ideas are implied: in the translation, only one or other of these ideas can be indicated, according to the context.
