Hekima ya Qur'ani kuteremshwa kwa awamu
The Wisdom in respect to the Qur’aan being revealed in instalments
Allah Ta'ala ameeleza hekima ya kuteremshwa kwa Qur'ani kwa awamu na si yote kwa mara moja katika aya mbili:
Allah Ta’Aalaa has explained the Hikmah (wisdom) for the revelation of the Qur’aan in instalments and not all at once in two Aayah:
a) Aya ya Kwanza:
a) The First Aayah:
Na wale waliokufuru wanasema: "Kwa nini Qur'ani haikushushiwa yeye mara moja?" Hivyo ndivyo, ili Tuuimarishe moyo wako kwayo. Na Tumeigawanya kwa mpangilio maalum (Al-Furqaan 32).
And those who disbelieve say: "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly (Al-Furqaan 32).
b) Aya ya Pili:
b) The Second Aayah:
Na Qur'āni tuliyoigawa sehemu sehemu, ili uisome kwa watu polepole. Nami tumeiteremsha kwa hatua hatua.
And a Qur'an which We have divided (into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at intervals. And We have revealed it by stages (Al-Israa’ 106).
Aya hizi mbili zinaonyesha kwamba hekima ya Qur-aan kushushwa sehemu sehemu, na si yote kwa mara moja, ni hizi:
These two Aayah indicate that the Hikmah (wisdom) for the Qur’aan to have been revealed in parts and not all at once are:
1) Kuimarisha na kutia nguvu moyo wa Mtume wa Allah ﷺ kupitia ufunuo wa Qur-aan ulioteremshwa kwa vipande katika kipindi chote cha utume wa Unabii. Alikuwa akikabiliwa na madhara na kukataliwa kutoka kwa watu wake wakati akiwalingania kwenye Da'wah, hivyo Wahyi uliokuja nyakati tofauti ulikuwa ndio msaada na usaidizi wake mkubwa zaidi, ukimfanya ahisi kwamba Allah Ta'aalaa yuko pamoja naye kila wakati. Mfululizo huo wa mawasiliano katika vipindi au vipindi vya wakati ulitia nguvu azma yake na kumsaidia kustahimili aliyokumbana nayo ya taabu na vikwazo, na kuendelea na Da'wah.
1) To strengthen and consolidate the heart of the Messenger of Allah (saw) through the revelation of the Qur’aan in parts throughout the mission of Prophethood. He had been exposed to harm and denial from his people whilst he carried the Da’wah to them and so the Wahi that descended at different times was his greatest support and assistance making him feel that Allah Ta’Aalaa was always with him. That consecutive connection over periods or intervals strengthened his determination and helped him to bear what he faced in terms of hardship and obstacles and to continue the Da’wah.
2) Kuimarisha na kuthibitisha moyo pia kunapatikana kupitia maana za Aayaat zinazowakilisha Ahkaam zilizomo ndani yake. Matukio yalipotokea, Qur'aan ilikuwa ikiteremshwa ili kueleza Hukm ya kila tukio. Hili lilikuwa msaada kwa Mtume ﷺ katika kuelewa Qur'aan na katika kuthibitisha uelewa huo ndani ya Fu'aad yake (moyo/'Aql). Hii ni kwa sababu neno 'Fu'aad' linaashiria maana ya moyo (katika lugha ya Kiarabu), na pia linaashiria Al-'Aql (akili).
2) The strengthening and consolidating of the heart is also by the meanings of the Aayaat represented in the Ahkaam that the Aayaat contain within them. As the incidents occurred the Qur’aan would be revealed to explain the Hukm of each incident. This therefore acted as an assistance to the Messenger (saw) in respect to understanding the Qur’aan and to consolidate this understanding within his ‘Fu’aad’ (heart/’Aql). That is because the word ‘Fu’aad’ indicates the meaning of heart (in the Arabic language) just as it also indicates Al-‘Aql (the mind).
3) Waarabu kabla ya Uislamu walikuwa wakiamini itikadi ambayo ilikuwa imekita mizizi ndani yao, huku wakifuata desturi na mila walizorithi kutoka vizazi vilivyotangulia. Walikuwa wameshikamana kwa ukaidi na itikadi hii na desturi hizi, hivyo walihitaji muda ili washawishike na itikadi mpya na dini mpya. Walihitaji mbinu ya taratibu ya kuacha yale waliyoyaamini na kuyazoea. Kwa hiyo, Allah Ta'aalaa aliteremsha Qur-aan kwa awamu ili ifike masikioni mwao, wakati mmoja baada ya mwingine, ikieleza upotovu wa imani yao ili waiache, na ikieleza itikadi ya Kiislamu ili waikubali.
