Abrogation

[Muslimah]

Bismillah


Praise be to Allah and prayer and peace be upon His Messenger Mohamed Ibn Abdullah, his household and companions.


Again on this last post addressing the Quran 22:52, the whole problem stems from the Arabic word Tamana which is translated as to recite.


Here is the transliteration for better explanation:


“Wa Mā 'arsalnā min qablika min Rasūlin wa Lā Nabīyin 'illā 'idhā tamanná 'alqá ash-Shayţānu fī 'umnīyatihi fayansakhu Allāhu Mā yulqī ash-Shayţānu thumma yuĥkimu Allāhu 'Āyātihi wa Allāhu `alīmun Ĥakīmun”


In Arabic this word can bear the two meanings, which made many old scholars stop for a long time to have an in depth review of this part. The word can be used as read as well as wish. In this position specifically, as we explained above, it can never be used as recite. In this position Allah Is consoling the Messenger about what he is facing of difficulties, resistance, reluctance, violence and aggression of the non believers. The word Tamana here serves the sense of wishing his duty to bear the desired fruit, and conveying the message of Allah since as Allah Is comparing the situation of the Messenger salla Allah a`lyehee wa sallam with that occurred with other prophets and Messengers. As the previous post explained, this is just to confirm the meaning, the hardships faced by the messenger are referred here to with what shaytan may throw in the way to obstruct and hinder the coarse of dawa. Do you expect shaytan to stand still while people are receiving these amazing words from Allah? Of course not, he will do his utmost effort to distract them from following this guidance.
