![]() However, the words of the Qur'an were general because of which people surmised that man will be taken to account even for thoughts that entered his mind without his intention. ![]() Unintentional thoughts and errors were just not included under its purview. Here the verse was actually referring to the accounting of whatever one does with his or her choice and volition. The words of the said verses, as mentioned earlier briefly, were:, that is, whether you manifest that which is in your hearts, or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it. In addition to being an assertion of Allah's infinite mercy, the second verse also answers the doubt which started bothering the noble Companions when verse 284, the one preceding these two, was revealed. Here, the first of the two verses opens with words of praise for the Muslims who are true and obedient, those who said yes with all their heart to all injunctions ordained by Allah, and were all set to carry them out. One of the distinct ones is that they come at the end of Surah al-Baqarah where most of the injunctions of Shari'ah appear briefly, or in detail, such as, those dealing with the articles of faith, modes of worship, mutual dealings, morals and social living etc. Meaning-wise, these verses have many special features. This is why Sayyidna 'Umar and Sayyidna 'Ali (R.A) said that they thought that anybody who has any sense in him would never go to sleep without having recited these two verses. Therefore, you should make special effort to learn these verses, and at the same time, teach your women and children how to recite them. As it appears in the Mustadrak of al-Hakim and in Bayhaqi, the Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him said that Allah Almighty has concluded Surah al-Baqarah with these two verses, which have been given to me in His grace from out of the special treasure that lies under the 'Arsh' (Divine Throne). One who is able to recite them after the Salah of 'Isha', they will stand for Tahajjud in his case. The Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him has said that one who recites these two verses during the night, they will be sufficient for him.Īs narrated by Sayyidna Ibn 'Abbas Radhi-Allahu Anh: Allah be pleased with him, the Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him said that Allah Almighty has sent forth these two verses out of the treasures of Paradise and the 'Rahman had already written them by His own hand two thousand years earlier than the creation of all things and beings. Great merits have been attributed to these two verses in authentic ahadith. These are the last two verses of Surah al-Baqarah. Help us, then, against the disbelieving people." And our Lord, do not make us bear that for which we have no strength. ![]() "Our Lord, do not hold us accountable, if we forget or make a mistake and, Our Lord, do not place on us a burden such as You have placed on those before us. For him is what he has earned, and on him what he has incurred. Our Lord, Your pardon! And to You is the return."Īllah does not obligate anyone beyond his capacity. "We make no division between any of His Messengers," and they have said: "We have listened, and obeyed. All have believed in Allah, and His angels and His Books, and His Messengers. "The Messenger has believed in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and the believers as well. Therefore, you should make special effort to learn these verses, and at the same time, teach your family members how to recite them. Anyone who understands would never go to sleep without having recited these two verses.
