[ المدثر: 3]

74:3 And your Lord glorify

and magnify your Lord exalt Him above what is ascribed to Him by the idolaters;

Advance the glory of Allah and ascribe glory in adoration to His Name

Which was revealed in Makkah بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The First Ayat to be revealed after `Read! It has been confirmed in the Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim on the authority of Abu Salamah that Jabir bin `Abdullah informed him that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ speaking about the time period ( of the pause in ) revelation.
The Prophet said, «فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي إِذْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي قِبَلَ السَّمَاءِ، فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءَ، قَاعِدٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، فَجُئِثْتُ مِنْهُ حَتْى هَوَيْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، فَجِئْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَقُلْتُ: زَمِّلُونِي زَمِّلُونِي فَزَمَّلُونِي.
فَأَنْزَلَ ( اللهُ تَعَالى ): يأَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ - قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ فَاهْجُرْ ثُمَّ حَمِيَ الْوَحْيُ وَتَتَابَع» ( While I was walking I heard a voice from the sky.
So I lifted my gaze towards the sky and saw the same angel who had come to me at the cave of Hira'.
He was sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth.
So I fled from him (in fear ) until I fell down to the ground.
Then, I went to my family and I said, `Wrap me up, wrap me up.
So, they wrapped me up! So Allah revealed, ( O you wrapped up! Arise and warn! ) until ( And keep away ) Here, Abu Salamah added, `Ar-Rujz means idols.' ( After this, the revelation started coming strongly and frequently in succession. ) This is the wording of Al-Bukhari.
The way this Hadith is narrated necessitates that revelation had descended before this.
This is due to the Prophet's statement,
«فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاء»
( The same angel who had come to me at the cave of Hira'. )" That angel was Jibril, who had came to him with Allah's statement, اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ - خَلَقَ الإِنسَـنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ - اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الاٌّكْرَمُ - الَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ - عَلَّمَ الإِنسَـنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ( Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created.
He has created man from a clot.
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.
Who has taught by the pen.
He has taught man that which he knew not. ) ( 96:1-5 ) After this first occurrence ( in the cave ) there was a period of time that passed, then the angel descended again.
Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Salamah bin `Abdur-Rahman that Jabir bin `Abdullah informed him that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, «ثُمَّ فَتَرَ الْوَحْيُ عَنِّي فَتْرَةً، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي قِبَلَ السَّمَاءِ، فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي، قَاعِدٌ عَلى كُرْسِيَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، فَجُئِثْتُ مِنْهُ فَرَقًا حَتْى هَوَيْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، فَجِئْتُ أَهْلِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: زَمِّلُونِي زَمِّلُونِي فَزَمَّلُونِي، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالى: يأَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ - قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ - وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ - وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ - وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ ثُمَّ حَمِيَ الْوَحْيُ وَتَتَابَع» ( Then the revelation ceased coming to me for a period of time.Then, while I was walking, I heard a voice from the sky.
So I lifted my gaze towards the sky to see the same angel who had come to me, sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth.
So I fled from him a short distance before I fell down to the ground.
Then I came to my family and said to them, `Wrap me up, wrap me up! So, they wrapped me up! Then Allah revealed, (O you wrapped up! Arise and warn! And magnify your Lord.
And purify your garments.
And keep away from Ar-Rujz! )( After this, the revelation started coming strongly and frequently in succession. ) They both ( Al-Bukhari and Muslim ) recorded this Hadith by way of Az-Zuhri.
At-Tabarani recorded from Ibn `Abbas that he said, "Verily, Al-Walid bin Al-Mughirah prepared some food for the Quraysh.
So when they had eaten from it he said, `What do you have to say about this man' Some of them said, `He is a magician.' Others said, `He is not a magician.' Then some of them said, `He is a soothsayer.' But others said, `He is not a soothsayer.' Some of them said, `He is a poet.' But others said, `He is not a poet.' Some of them said, `This is magic from that of old.' Thus, they eventually all agreed that it was magic from ancient times.
Then, when this news reached the Prophet , he became grieved, covered his head and wrapped himself up.
This is when Allah revealed, يأَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ - قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ - وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ - وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ - وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ - وَلاَ تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ - وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ ( O you enveloped in garments! Arise and warn! And magnify your Lord (Allah )! And purify your garments! And keep away from Ar-Rujz ( the idols )! And give not a thing in order to have more ( or consider not your deeds of obedience to Allah as a favour to Him ).
And be patient for the sake of your Lord ( i.e., perform your duty to Allah )!) Concerning Allah's statement, قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ ( Arise and warn! ) means, prepare to go forth with zeal and warn the people.
With this the Prophet attained messengership just as he attained prophethood with the first revelation. وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ( And magnify your Lord! ) to declare the greatness of Him.
Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas; وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ( And purify your garments! ) "This means, do not let your garments that you wear be from earnings that are unlawful." It has also been said, "Do not wear your clothes in disobedience." Muhammad bin Sirin said, وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ( And purify your garments! ) "This means clean them with water." Ibn Zayd said, "The idolators would not clean themselves, so Allah commanded him to clean himself and his garments." This view was preferred by Ibn Jarir.
Sa`id bin Jubayr said, وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ( And purify your garments! ) "This means purify your heart and your intentions." Muhammad bin Ka`b Al-Qurazi and Al-Hasan Al-Basri both said, "And beautify your character." Concerning Allah's statement, وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ ( And keep away from Ar-Rujz! ) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas, "Ar-Rujz are idols, so keep away from them." Similar to this was said by Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Qatadah, Az-Zuhri and Ibn Zayd, "Verily, it is the idols." This is like Allah's statement, يأَيُّهَا النَّبِىِّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُطِعِ الْكَـفِرِينَ وَالْمُنَـفِقِينَ ( O Prophet! have Taqwa of Allah, and obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites. ) ( 33:1 ) and Allah's statement, وَقَالَ مُوسَى لاًّخِيهِ هَـرُونَ اخْلُفْنِى فِى قَوْمِى وَأَصْلِحْ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ( And Musa said to his brother Harun: "Replace me among my people, act well and follow not way of the corrupters." ) ( 7:142 ) Then Allah says, وَلاَ تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ ( And give not a thing in order to have more. ) Ibn `Abbas said, "Do not give any gift seeking to get ( back in return ) more than it." Khusayf reported from Mujahid; وَلاَ تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ ( And give not a thing (Tamnun ) in order to have more.) "Do not slacken in seeking more good.
Tamnun in the language of the Arabs means to become weak." Concerning Allah's statement, وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ ( And be patient for the sake of your Lord! ) meaning, make your patience with their harms be for the Face of your Lord, the Mighty and Majestic.
This was stated by Mujahid.
Ibrahim An-Nakha`i said, "Be patient in your giving for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic." Reminding of the Day of Judgement Concerning Allah's statement, فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى النَّاقُورِ - فَذَلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ - عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ ( Then, when the Naqur is sounded.
Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day -- far from easy for the disbelievers ) Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Ash-Sha`bi, Zayd bin Aslam, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, As-Suddi and Ibn Zayd, all said, النَّاقُورِ ( Naqur ) "It is the Trumpet." Mujahid said, "It is in the shape of a horn." Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that Abu Sa`id Al-Ashaj told them that Asbat bin Muhammad related to them from Mutarrif, from `Atiyah Al-`Awfi, from Ibn `Abbas, فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى النَّاقُورِ ( Then, when the Trumpet is sounded. ) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«كَيْفَ أَنْعَمُ وَصَاحِبُ الْقَرْنِ قَدِ الْتَقَمَ الْقَرْنَ وَحَنَى جَبْهَتَهُ يَنْتَظِرُ مَتَى يُؤْمَرُ فَيَنْفُخُ؟»
( How can I be comfortable when the one with the horn has placed it in his mouth, leaned his forehead forward, and is waiting to be commanded so that he can blow ) The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What do you command us, O Messenger of Allah" He replied,
«قُولُوا: حَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ، عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا»
( Say: "Allah is sufficient for us, and what an excellent Trustee He is.
We put our trust in Allah." ) It has been recorded like this by Imam Ahmad on the authority of Asbat.
Concerning Allah's statement, فَذَلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ ( Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day. ) meaning, severe. عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ ( Far from easy for the disbelievers. ) meaning, it will not be easy for them.
This is as Allah says, يَقُولُ الْكَـفِرُونَ هَـذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ ( The disbelievers will say: "This a Hard Day." ) ( 54:8 ) We have reported from Zurarah bin Awfa, the judge of Al-Basrah, that he lead the people in the morning prayer and he recited this Surah.
Then, when he reached Allah's statement, فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى النَّاقُورِ - فَذَلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ - عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ ( Then, when the Naqur is sounded.
Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day -- far from easy for the disbelievers. ) he made a moaning sound and then he fell down dead.
May Allah have mercy on him. ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيداً - وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالاً مَّمْدُوداً - وَبَنِينَ شُهُوداً - وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُ تَمْهِيداً - ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ - كَلاَّ إِنَّهُ كان لاٌّيَـتِنَا عَنِيداً - سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُوداً - إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ - فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ - ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ - ثُمَّ نَظَرَ - ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ - ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ - فَقَالَ إِنْ هَـذَآ إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ - إِنْ هَـذَآ إِلاَّ قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ - سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ - وَمَآ أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ - لاَ تُبْقِى وَلاَ تَذَرُ

(74:3) and magnify the glory of your Lord, *3

And your Lord glorify meaning

*3) This is the primary duty of a Prophet, which he has to perform in this world.
His foremost duty is to refute the greatness of alI those whom the ignorant people might be holding as great, and publicly proclaim that we greatness in this universe belongs to none but Allah alone.
For this very reason the phrase Allahu Akbar has been Geld as of supreme importance in Islam.
The adhan ( call to prayer ) begins with the proclamation of Allahu Akbar.
The Muslim enters the Prayer itself with Allahu Akbar and repeats Allahu Akbar every time he sits or stands, He pronounces Bismillahi Allahu Akbar also when slaughtering an animal.
The slogan of Allahu Akbar has become a most distinctive and prominent emblem of Muslims throughout the world today, for the Prophet of this Ummah himself had embarked on his mission with the magnification and glorification of Almighty Allah.
Here, there is another fine point, which must be understood well.
As we have learnt from the background of the revelation of these verses, this was the first occasion when the Holy Prophet ( upon whom be peace ) had been commanded to arise for performing the duties of the great mission of Prophethood, and it was obvious that the city and society in which he was commanded to perform this mission, was the centre of polytheism.
Not only were the people around him polytheistic like the common Arabs but, more than that, the city of Makkah had become the most sacred place of pilgrimage for the polytheistic Arabs, and the Quraish were its attendants.
Arising of a person in such a place all by himself and proclaiming the Oneness of God in the face of polytheism was full of risks.
That is why the exhortation to " proclaim the greatness of your Lord " just after " arise and wam " contains this meaning also: "Do not at all mind the terrifying and dreadful forces that seem to be obstructing and impeding your work and proclaim publicly that your Lord is the greatest of all those who can hinder and resist you from giving your message.
This is indeed the greatest encouragement for a person who embarks on a Divine mission.
The one who has Allah's greatness and majesty deeply embedded in his heart will feel no hesitation at all in facing and fighting the entire world by himself for the sake of Allah.

Mujahid said, "It is in the shape of a horn." Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that Abu Sa`id Al-Ashaj told them that Asbat bin Muhammad related to them from Mutarrif, from `Atiyah Al-`Awfi, from Ibn `Abbas, فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى النَّاقُورِ ( Then, when the Trumpet is sounded. ) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, «كَيْفَ أَنْعَمُ وَصَاحِبُ الْقَرْنِ قَدِ الْتَقَمَ الْقَرْنَ وَحَنَى جَبْهَتَهُ يَنْتَظِرُ مَتَى يُؤْمَرُ فَيَنْفُخُ؟» ( How can I be comfortable when the one with the horn has placed it in his mouth, leaned his forehead forward, and is waiting to be commanded so that he can blow ) The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What do you command us, O Messenger of Allah" He replied, «قُولُوا: حَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ، عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا» ( Say: "Allah is sufficient for us, and what an excellent Trustee He is.

Concerning Allah's statement, فَذَلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ ( Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day. ) meaning, severe. عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ ( Far from easy for the disbelievers. ) meaning, it will not be easy for them.

May Allah have mercy on him. ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيداً - وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالاً مَّمْدُوداً - وَبَنِينَ شُهُوداً - وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُ تَمْهِيداً - ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ - كَلاَّ إِنَّهُ كان لاٌّيَـتِنَا عَنِيداً - سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُوداً - إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ - فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ - ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ - ثُمَّ نَظَرَ - ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ - ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ - فَقَالَ إِنْ هَـذَآ إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ - إِنْ هَـذَآ إِلاَّ قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ - سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ - وَمَآ أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ - لاَ تُبْقِى وَلاَ تَذَرُ

( Your Lord magnify ) Exonerate your Lord from what the idol worshippers say about Him,

And your Lord (Allah) magnify!
