Sūra butun mohiyati bilan Allohga, Uning bizga ato etgan ne'matlari uchun shukr qilishga undaydi. Alloh barcha insonlarga — mo'minlarga ham, kofirlarga ham, solih kishilarga ham, gunohkorlarga ham, Allohdan qo'rqqan kishilarga ham, zolimlarga ham — ne'matlarini ato etadi. Albatta, Alloh kofirlarga, itoatsizlarga va zolimlarga ham xuddi kurashuvchi mo'minlarga bergan kabi ne'matlar berganida, Uning rahmati va mehr-shafqati behisobdir. Ularning ham shukr qilishlari kerak. Bu yerda Allohning inoyati eng keng ufqlarda, koinot miqyosidagi tasvirlar orqali namoyon bo'ladi: «Osmonlarni va Yerni yaratgan, osmondan suv yuborib, u bilan sizlarning rizqingiz uchun mevalar chiqargan Zotdir. Sizlarga xizmat qilishi uchun kemalarni dengizda Uning amri bilan suzadigan qilib qo'ygan, sizning manfaatingiz uchun daryolarni ham [Uning qonuniga] bo'ysundirgan Zotdir. Sizlarning manfaatingiz uchun quyoshni va oyni ham, ikkalasi ham doimiy harakatda bo'lgan holda, [Uning qonuniga] bo'ysundirgan; kechani va kunduzni ham [Uning qonuniga] bo'ysundirgan. U sizlar So'raganlarning hammasidan sizlarga bergan. Agar Allohning ne'matlarini sanashga urinsangiz, ularni hech qachon sanab tugatolmaysiz. Shunday bo'lsa-da, inson zulmda qat'iy turadi, o'jarlik bilan noshukr bo'ladi». (Oyatlar 32–34)
Gratitude to God for what He bestows on us animates the whole sūrah. God enumerates His favours, which He grants to all mankind, believers and unbelievers, righteous or unrighteous, God-fearing and wrongdoers. God is most certainly compassionate and merciful when He grants such favours to unbelievers, disobedients and wrongdoers in the same way as He grants them to the faithful who strive for His cause. It is their place that they should be grateful. Here God’s grace is shown extending across the widest horizon, within a framework of universal imagery: “It is God who has created the heavens and the earth, and who sends down water from the sky with which He brings forth fruits for your sustenance. He has placed under your service ships which by His leave sail through the sea, and He has made the rivers subservient to [His law] for your benefit. And for your benefit He has made the sun and the moon, both diligently pursuing their courses, subservient to [His law]; and has made the night and the day subservient to [His law]. And He gives you of everything you ask of Him. Should you try to count God’s blessings, you will never be able to compute them. Yet man is persistent in wrongdoing, stubbornly ungrateful.” (Verses 32-34)
Darhaqiqat, elchilarni insoniyatga yuborish ham teng, balki undan ham katta ne'mat hisoblanadi: "Bu – Biz sizga, Rabbingizning izni bilan odamlarni zulmatdan nurga chiqarishingiz uchun, nozil qilgan kitobdir." (1-oyat) Nur Xudoning koinotdagi eng ulug' ne'mati bo'lishi mumkin, ammo bu oyatda zikr etilgan nur butun vujudimizdan porlab, atrofimizdagi dunyoni ham yorituvchi eng buyuk nurdir. Xuddi shu vazifa Muso alayhis-salomga uning qavmi bilan birga va aslida barcha elchilarga ham yuklatilgan, buni sura aniq bayon qiladi. Shuningdek, Xudoning elchilari aytgan so'zlarda ham ne'mat borligini ko'ramiz: "U sizlarni chaqiradi, toki gunohlaringizni kechirsin." (10-oyat)
Indeed, sending messengers to mankind is an equal, if not greater favour: “This is a book which We have bestowed on you from on high so that you might bring forth all mankind, by their Lord’s leave, from darkness into the light.” (Verse 1) Light is perhaps God’s most majestic favour in the universe, but the light referred to in this verse is the greatest light that shines through our whole beings and which makes the world around us shine. The same task was assigned to Moses with his people, and indeed to all messengers, as clearly explained in the sūrah. We also note a favour in what God’s messengers say: “He calls you, so that He may forgive you your sins.” (Verse 10)
Insonlarning kechirimga chaqirilishi xuddi nurga yaqin darajadagi katta ne'mat hisoblanadi.
That people are called to forgiveness is a great favour almost equal to that of light.
Xudoning inoyatlari doirasida Muso o‘z qavmiga Xudo ularga ato etgan ne’matlarni eslatadi: "Muso o‘z qavmiga dedi: "Xudo sizlarni Fir’avn kishilarining qo‘lidan qutqarib, sizlarga og‘ir azob solganini, o‘g‘il bolalaringizni o‘ldirib, ayollaringizni tirik qoldirganini eslang. Bu Robbingiz tomonidan ulkan sinov edi"." (6-oyat)
Shu kontekstda sura Xudoning o‘z elchilariga bergan va'dasini ham zikr etadi: "Robbilari elchilariga vahiy qildi: "Albatta, zolimlarni halok qilamiz va ulardan keyin sizlarni o‘sha yerda joylashtiramiz. Bu va'da Mening huzurimdan qo‘rqadigan va Mening ogohlantirishlarimdan cho‘chiydiganlarga tegishlidir"." (13-14-oyatlar)
Bu ham Xudoning ko‘plab buyuk inoyatlari qatoridan joy olishi kerak.
Within the context of God’s favours, Moses reminds his people of what God bestowed on them: “Moses said to his people: ‘Remember the blessings God bestowed on you when He saved you from Pharaohs people who afflicted you with grievous torment, slaughtered your sons and spared [only] your women. That was indeed an awesome trial from your Lord.” (Verse 6) And within the same context, the sūrah mentions God’s promise to His messengers: “Their Lord revealed this to His messengers: Most certainly shall We destroy the wrongdoers, and most certainly shall We cause you to dwell in the land long after they are gone. This [I promise] to all who stand in awe of My presence, and stand in awe of My warnings.’“ (Verses 13-14) Again, this should be counted among God’s many great favours.
Surada, shuningdek, Alloh taolo bandalar shukr qilganda Uning ne'matlarini ziyoda qilishini ta'kidlaydi: "Parvardigoringiz e'lon qilgan edi: Agar shukr qilsangiz, albatta, sizga ziyoda qilaman; agar nankor bo'lsangiz, Mening azobim, albatta, qattiqdir" (7-oyat). Bu shuni ravshan qiladiki, Alloh shukrga, tashakkurga va ularni bajaruvchilarga muhtoj emas. "Musо aytdi:
The sūrah also highlights the fact that God’s favours are increased when people are grateful: “For your Lord had declared: If you are grateful, I shall certainly give you more; but if you are ungrateful, then My punishment shall be severe indeed.’“ (Verse 7) It makes clear that God is in no need of gratitude, thanks or those who give them. “And Moses said:
Agar siz va yer yuzida yashayotgan barcha kishilar Xudoni inkor etsangiz, bilingki, Xudo darhaqiqat, hech narsaga muhtoj emas, hamdga loyiqdir", [deb aytilgan]." (8-oyat) Surada odatda insonning Xudo unga ato etgan ne'matlar uchun to'g'ri shukr qilmasligi bayon etiladi. "Agar siz Xudoning ne'matlarini sanashga urinsangiz, ularni hech qachon hisoblab tugatolmaysiz. Shunga qaramay, inson yomonlikda qat'iy turadi, o'jarlik bilan nankor bo'ladi." (34-oyat) Biroq atrofida Xudo joylagan belgilarni o'ylab ko'radigan va chuqur fikr yuritadigan kishilar musibat oldida sabr-toqatli bo'ladilar va ne'mat hamda in'omlar uchun shukr qiladilar: "Albatta, bunda sabr-toqatli va [Xudoga] chin dildan shukr qiluvchi har bir kishi uchun belgilar bor." (5-oyat)
If you and whoever lives on earth were to deny God, [know that] God is indeed Self-Sufficient, worthy of all praise.’“ (Verse 8) The sūrah explains that generally man does not show proper gratitude for the favours God bestows on him. “Should you try to count God’s blessings, you will never be able to compute them. Yet man is persistent in wrongdoing, stubbornly ungrateful.” (Verse 34) However, those who reflect on the signs God has placed all around them, and show insight, will persevere in the face of adversity and show gratitude for favours and blessings: “Surely in this there are signs for everyone who is patient in adversity and deeply grateful [to God].” (Verse 5)
Ibrohim alayhissalom ham sabr va shukr, ikkalasini ham Alloh huzurida kamtarlik holatida ifodalaydi, bu Makkadagi Masjidi Haram yaqinida aytilgan duoda namoyon bo‘ladi. U Yaratgan Egaga hamd va shukr bilan to‘lib-toshgan.
Both patience in adversity and gratitude are expressed by Abraham in a position of humility before God, expressed in a prayer addressed near the Sacred Mosque in Makkah. It overflows with praise and gratitude to God:
Ibrohim dedi: "Parvardigorim, bu shaharni xavfsiz qil va meni hamda farzandlarimni butlarga sig'inishdan saqla. Parvardigorim, ular ko'p odamlarni adashtirdilar."
Abraham said: ‘My Lord. Make this land secure, and preserve me and my children from ever worshipping idols. My Lord, they have indeed led many people astray.
Demak, kim menga ergashsa, u mendandir. Kim menga itoatsizlik qilsa, Sen albatta Kechiruvchi, Rahmlisan.
Ey Rabbimiz, men avlodimdan bir qismini ekinsiz vodiyda, Muqaddas uyingiz yonida joylashtirdim, toki ular namozni to‘kis ado etsinlar. Shuning uchun odamlarning qalblarini ularga moyil qilgin va ularga mevalardan rizq ber, toki shukr qilsinlar.
Ey Rabbimiz, Sen biz yashirgan va oshkor qilgan narsalarning hammasini bilasan. Yerda ham, osmonda ham Allohdan hech narsa yashirin qolmaydi.
Qariganimda menga Ismoil va Ishoqni ato etgan Allohga hamd bo‘lsin. Albatta, Rabbim duolarni eshituvchidir.
Ey Rabbim, meni va avlodimdan bo‘lganlarni namozni to‘kis ado etuvchilardan qilgin. Ey Rabbimiz, duoimni qabul qilgin.
Ey Rabbimiz, hisob-kitob bo‘ladigan kun menga, ota-onamga va barcha mo‘minlarga mag‘firatingni ato et.
Hence, he who follows me belongs to me. As for him who disobeys me, well, You are truly Much-Forgiving, Merciful. Our Lord, I have settled some of my offspring in a valley without cultivation, by Your Sacred House, so that they may establish regular prayers. So, cause You people’s hearts to incline towards them, and provide them with fruits, so that they may give thanks. Our Lord, You certainly know all that we conceal and all that we bring into the open: for nothing whatever, on earth or in heaven, can be hidden from God. All praise is due to God who has given me, in my old age, Ishmael and Isaac. Surely my Lord hears all prayers. My Lord, cause me and [some of] my offspring to establish regular prayers. My Lord, accept my prayer. Our Lord, grant Your forgiveness to me and my parents, and all the believers on the Day when the reckoning will come to pass.’ (Verses 35-41)
Sura davomida Alloh taologning ne'matlari, ularga shukr qilish va, aksincha, ularni inkor etish mavzulari butun matnga singib ketgan, shu sababli oyatlarning oxiridagi ko'plab izohlar ana shu mavzuga mos keladi. Masalan: "Shunda ular shukr qilsinlar, deb ularni mevalar bilan rizqlantir." (37-oyat) "Albatta, bunda sabr qiluvchi va shukr qiluvchi har bir kishi uchun dalillar bor [Alloh taologa]." (5-oyat) "Alloh ne'matini kufrga almashtirgan va o'z qavmini halokat uyiga olib borganlarni ko'rmadingmi?" (28-oyat) "Alloh sizga bergan ne'matlarni eslang." (6-oyat) "Keksayganimda menga Ismoil va Ishoqni bergan Allohga hamd bo'lsin." (39-oyat)
Because God’s favours and blessings, gratitude for them and, by contrast, their denial permeate the sūrah, many comments at the end of verses fit with this. For example: “provide them with fruits, so that they may give thanks.” (Verse 37) “Surely in this there are signs for everyone who is patient in adversity and deeply grateful [to God].” (Verse 5) “Have you not seen those who have exchanged God’s blessings for unbelief and landed their people in the House of Perdition.” (Verse 28) “Remember the blessings God bestowed on you.” (Verse 6) “All praise is due to God who has given me, in my old age, Ishmael and Isaac.” (Verse 39)
Payg'ambarlar inkor etuvchilarning ularga qarshi e'tirozlariga, ya'ni ular ham faqat insonlardir, degan gaplariga javob berganlarida, shunday deydilar: "Albatta, biz ham sizlar kabi faqat odamlarmiz. Lekin Alloh O'z bandalaridan xohlaganiga O'z marhamatini ato etadi" (11-oyat). Shunday qilib, Alloh taologing marhamati sura umumiy ruhiga mos ravishda ta'kidlanadi. Sura ne'mat, rahmat, lutf va shukr tuyg'ulari bilan, bir tomondan, va nankorlik bilan, ikkinchi tomondan, nurlanib turadi. Demak, so'z ifodasi butun sura bilan uyg'unlashtirilib, Qur'oni karimning badiiy usuli mukammal darajada namoyon etiladi.
When the prophets answer the unbelievers’ objections that they, i.e. the prophets, are only human, they say: “We are indeed but mortals like yourselves. But God bestows His grace on whomever He wills of His servants.” (Verse 11) Thus, God’s grace is highlighted to fit with the general atmosphere of the sūrah, which radiates with aspects of grace, mercy, favour and gratitude on the one side and ingratitude on the other. Thus, verbal expression is brought in harmony with the sūrah as a whole to perfect the Qur’ānic artistic method.
Sūra ikki asosiy qismga bo‘linishi mumkin: birinchisi ilohiy xabarning mohiyatini va uni yetkazuvchi elchini bayon qiladi, ularning jamoasi bilan xabarni inkor etuvchilar o‘rtasidagi kurashni tasvirlaydi. U bularning barchasiga izoh berib, yaxshi va yomon so‘zlarga misollar keltiradi. Ikkinchi qism esa Alloh insoniyatga ato etgan ne'matlar haqida so‘zlaydi, takabbur noshukrlarni va shukr ado etuvchi mo‘minlarni ta'riflaydi. Ikkinchisining eng birinchi va mukammal namunasi Ibrohim alayhissalomdir. Sūra Ollohning ne'matlarini inkor etuvchi zolimlarning taqdirini Qiyomat kuni haqidagi eng kuchli va jonli tasvirlar orqali bayon qiladi. Shunday qilib, sūraning xotimasi uning boshlanishi bilan uyg‘un holga keltiriladi: “Bu butun insoniyatga yetkazilgan xabardir.”
The sūrah can be divided into two main passages: the first explains the nature of the divine message and the messenger delivering it, portraying the battle between their community and those who deny the message. It comments on all this, giving examples of good and evil words. The other passage speaks of the favours God grants to mankind, describing those who display an arrogant ingratitude and the believers who express their gratitude. The first perfect example of the latter is Abraham. It describes the fate of the wrongdoers who deny God’s favours in a series of most powerful and lively images of the Day of Judgement. Thus, the conclusion of the sūrah is brought into harmony with its opening: “This is a message to all mankind.
Shu bilan ular ogohlantirilsin va Uning yagona Xudo ekanini bilsinlar. Aql-idrok egalari esa ibrat olsinlar. (52-oyat)
Let them be warned thereby, and let them know that He is the One and Only God. Let those who are endowed with insight take heed.” (Verse 52)
