Al Aala (Chapter 87) | Hubeali en-US Al Aala (Chapter 87) | Hubeali 32 32 AL-AA’LA (Chapter 87) Sura Al-Aala (19 verses) was revealed in Makkah. ‘Ali Amir Al-Momineen-asws was asked about the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Exalted [87:1].

He-asws said: ‘It is inscribed upon the Pillar of the Throne before Allah-azwj Created the skies and the earths, by two thousand years: “There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there being no associates for Him-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww”. Testify with them-asws, and that Ali-asws is successor-asws of Muhammad-saww’’.

Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib loved reciting Al-Aala (87), so when Ali-asws arrived at Al-Kufa, he-asws prayed Salat with them for forty morning reciting with them: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Exalted [87:1]. The hypocrites said, ‘By Allah-azwj! The son-asws of Abu Talib-asws is not good at reciting the Quran, and had he-asws been good in reciting, he-asws would have recited with other than this Chapter’. The narrator said, ‘That reached him-asws, so he-asws said: ‘Woe be to them!

I-asws am more recognising with its Abrogating, and its Abrogated, and its Decisive, and its Allegorical, its separate from its connected, and its letters from its meaning. By Allah-azwj! There is no letter that has been Revealed unto Muhammad-saww except and I-asws know regarding who it was Revealed, and in which day it was Revealed, and in which place it was Revealed. Woe be unto them!

Are they not reciting: Surely this is in the former Parchments [87:18] The Parchments of Ibrahim and Musa [87:19]? By Allah-azwj! These are in my-asws possession, and I-asws inherited these two from the Rasool-Allah-saww, and the Rasool-Allah-saww handed over to me-asws the Scriptures of Ibrahim-as and Musa-as. Woe be unto them! By Allah-azwj, I-asws (am the one) about whom Allah-azwj Revealed: “And that the retaining ear would retain it” [69:12].

But rather, we used to be in the presence of the Rasool-Allah-saww, so he-saww would inform us by the Revelation, I-asws would hear it and retain it. But when we would go out, they would say: “What was it that he said just now?” [47:16]. The post AL-AA’LA (Chapter 87) first appeared on Hubeali.]]>
