ุจูุณูู ู ุงููููููู ุงูุฑููุญูู ูููฐูู ุงูุฑููุญููู ู
I just wanted to share a reflection today on Surah Maryam [19:1].
Allah says:
‘ูููุนุต‘
(Kaaf, Ha, Ya, ‘Ayn, Sad). That’s the first verse.
‘ุฐูููุฑู ุฑูุญูู ูุชู ุฑูุจูููู ุนูุจูุฏููู ุฒูููุฑููููุง‘
and then he says:
‘ุฅูุฐู ููุงุฏูููฐ ุฑูุจูููู ููุฏูุงุกู ุฎููููููุง‘
I wanted to focus just on this one verse about Zakariyya. It talks about how he calls out to his lord ‘ููุฏูุงุกู ุฎููููููุง ‘. So nadaa’ is to call out. It’s like in Surah Yusuf where someone calls out that the vessel has been stolen, and they call it out and they announce it. That’s like ‘ูุฏุงุก ‘. It’s like the caller on the Day of Judgement. It’s a huge, loud call but, Zakariyya – the word that’s used ‘ููุฏูุงุกู ุฎูููููู ‘. It’s a huge call but its ‘ุฎูููููู‘ and khafi comes from the word which means hidden; it means subtle; it means quiet.
So it’s a quiet call, which is at the same time huge. There is a sense of greatness, of might, to this call. Zakariyya is calling out to his lord, making dua and it’s a huge dua. It’s heavy on the heart, it’s heavy in his voice, but yet it’s a quiet dua. It’s in silence. It’s in isolation. There’s no one watching. It’s private.
It reminds me of the people on the Day of Judgement who get Allah’s shade; those people – there is many groups of those people & one of the groups are those people, which remember Allah in silence, in isolation. And they remember Allah and their eyes well up with tears, emotion for their lord. That’s what it reminds me of. Those private moments with Allah.
‘ููุฏูุงุกู ุฎูููููู ‘
Such a beautiful phrase – just two words and it is just so powerful that nadaa‘ is this powerful thing and khafia is the opposite. It’s something quiet; but yet we understand what it means when Zakariyya is making this huge dua.
‘ููุงูู ุฑูุจูู ุฅููููู ูููููู ุงููุนูุธูู ู ู ููููู ููุงุดูุชูุนููู ุงูุฑููุฃูุณู ุดูููุจูุง’
‘Ya Allah, I am old, my bones are weak. I’m afraid for what’s to come. My spouse is old.’
‘ููููุจู ููู ู ูู ูููุฏูููู ูููููููุง‘
‘So give me someone who will be a resource after me, and he will inherit what I have and he will inherit my legacy.’
And so the way he makes this dua is ‘ููุฏูุงุกู ุฎูููููู‘.
That was it for today. Insha’Allah I will see you all in the next reflection.
