Al-Dhariyat (Upepo Unaotawanya)

Al-Dhariyat (Upepo Unaotawanya) - Katika Kivuli cha Qur'ani | Quran Course

Kwa kuwa kuhangaika na riziki ya mtu na kile ambacho siku zijazo zinaweza kuleta kuhusiana nayo ni miongoni mwa vikwazo vigumu zaidi kati ya hivi, sura hii inatilia mkazo sana kumwondolea mtu wasiwasi huo na kumtuliza ili moyo wake umgeukie Mwenyezi Mungu, huru kutokana na minyororo ya dunia. Rejea za jambo hili zinapatikana katika sehemu kadhaa za sura hii. Kwa mfano, rejea za wazi ni: "Na mbinguni ndiko riziki yenu na kile mnachoahidiwa." (Aya ya 22) na "Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mruzukuaji, Mwenye nguvu, Mwenye nguvu kabisa." (Aya ya 58) Rejea nyingine ni za kudokezwa, kama ilivyo katika aya inayoelezea mtazamo wa wachamungu kuhusu mali. Wao "hutoa sehemu inayostahiki ya mali zao kwa anayeomba [msaada] na aliyenyimwa." (Aya ya 19) Vivyo hivyo, sura inaeleza ukarimu wa Ibrahim na jinsi alivyowakaribisha wageni wake, au tuseme malaika ambao alidhani kuwa ni wageni wake. Walipomsalimia, alienda moja kwa moja kwa familia yake na kuleta ndama mnono, ingawa kabla ya kufika mlangoni kwake walikuwa wageni kabisa kwake.

Since preoccupation with one’s livelihood and what the future may bring with regard to it is one of the hardest of these hindrances, the surah takes particular care to free man of it, and to reassure him so that his heart turns to God, free of earthly chains. References to this point are found in several places in the surah. For example, explicit references include: “And in the sky is your sustenance and all that you are promised. ” (Verse 22) and “God is indeed the Provider of all sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Ever Mighty.” (Verse 58) Other references are implicit, as in the verse describing the attitude of the righteous towards money. They “ would give a rightful share of their possessions to the one who asks [for help] and the one who is deprived.” (Verse 19) Likewise, the surah describes Abraham’s hospitality and the welcome he gave to his guests, or rather the angels he thought to be his guests. When they greeted him, he went straight to his household and brought a fat calf, yet prior to their arrival at his doorstep, they were total strangers to him.

Sura inajumuisha marejeo ya haraka kwa hadithi za Ibrahim, Lut, Musa, kaumu ya 'Ad, kaumu ya Thamud na kaumu ya Nuhu. Katika simulizi lake kuhusu Ibrahim, sura inataja kwa ufupi suala la mali, pamoja na ulimwengu usioonekana kwa macho yetu, wakati anapopewa habari njema ya kuzaliwa kwa mtoto wa kiume atakayejaliwa elimu. Yeye na mkewe wanapewa mtoto huyu wakati ambapo hawakuwahi kutarajia jambo hilo kabisa. Katika hadithi nyingine, marejeo hasa ni kwamba ahadi ya Mungu daima hutimia, kama inavyotajwa kwa msisitizo mwanzoni: {Hakika yale mnayoahidiwa ni ya kweli.} (Aya ya 5). Marejeo mengine ya jambo hili yanatolewa mwishoni, ambapo wasioamini wanapewa onyo wazi: {Wale waliodhulumu watapata sehemu yao (ya adhabu) kama sehemu za wenzao waliopita. Basi wasinitake kuharakisha.} (Aya ya 59). Hili linakuja baada ya kauli inayoashiria kwamba vizazi vya wasioamini vinaonekana kushauriana wao kwa wao kuwakataa Mitume wa Mungu: {Kadhalika haikumjia Mtume yeyote aliyekuwa kabla yao, ila walisema: "Yeye ni mchawi au mwendawazimu." Je, waliusiana nalo? Bali wao ni kaumu waliopindukia mipaka.} (Aya za 52-53)

The surah includes quick references to the stories of Abraham, Lot, Moses, the ‘Ad, the Thamud and Noahs people. In its account of Abraham, the surah makes a quick reference to money, as well as the realm beyond our perception when he is given the happy news of the birth of a son to be endowed with knowledge. He and his wife are given this child when they could have never expected it. In the other stories, the reference is mainly to the fact that Gods promise always comes true, just as it is emphatically stated at the beginning: “That which you are promised is true indeed.” (Verse 5) Another reference to this is made at the conclusion, where the unbelievers are issued with a clear warning: “ The wrongdoers shall have their share [of evil] like their predecessors. Let them not ask Me to hasten it.” (Verse 59) This comes after the statement that implies that generations of unbelievers seem to have recommended to each other that they reject Gods messengers: “ Thus whenever a messenger came to those that lived before them, they also said: 'He is but a sorcerer, or maybe a madman. ’ Have they, perchance, handed down this legacy to one another? No! They are people who transgress all bounds.” (Verses 52-53)
