Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Light of the Holy Qur'an Interpretation Of( Insan and Mursalat and Naba ) Sura Insan (human) No.

Commentary: Five Great Instructions for the Fulfillment of Allah's Command The aforementioned verses of the Sura are about the creation of Man and then about his rebirth at the time of Resurrection Now, the verses are referring to the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) , directly, with some emphatical instruction about the guidance of Man and his patience and constancy. In fact, these verses show the way of how to approach the incomparable immense blessings.

This task is not possible except through taking hold of the Qur'an, following the Prophet's leadership and being inspired by his instructions. At first it says: " Surely We, Ourselves, have revealed the Qur'an to you, revealing (it) in stages." Some commentators have said that the term /tanzila/ 'revealing in stages', which has appeared as a direct object in this verse, denotes the gradual descent of the Holy Qur'an, whose effect on man's training is clear.

Some others believe that it refers to the high position of this Heavenly book and emphasizes the fact that this book was sent down by Allah, in spite of those who accused the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) of being a necromancer, sorcerer, magician and calumniator of Allah.

Then, there are five important instructions given to the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) The first is for patience and constancy, and says: " Therefore be patient and constant to the command of your Lord,..." Don't be afraid of the difficulties and the problems that occur in your way, the great number of your enemies or their obstinacy. Continue on your way and go forward.

It is noteworthy that, with regard to /f/ in the Arabic term /fasbir/ 'therefore be patient and constant', the instruction for patience is secondary to the revelation of the Qur'an by Allah.
