Endless treasure of knowledge and wisdom

The Holy Quran is a glorified and highly dignified book of Allah in which there are rulings pertaining to Halal and Haraam, quotes of advice and admonition, the incidents and parables of the Ambiya and those of previous Ummahs, and the details about Paradise and Hell have been mentioned. On the other hand, comprehensiveness of the meanings of Quranic Ayahs is like an ocean of knowledge and cognition that cannot be
explored completely till the Judgement Day. Therefore, whilst mentioning the great comprehensiveness of the Holy Quran, the Beloved and Blessed Rasool
 has said:
The Islamic scholars will never be satiated whilst exploring the Quranic subjects, it will not become tattered after being recited again and again and the strange and miraculous topics of the Holy Quran will never end.
(Mishkat, Kitab Fadaail-ul-Quran, Al-Fasal-us-Saani, pp. 186)
In this context, Sayyiduna 'Ali Khuwaas  has mentioned:
No doubt, Allah  blessed me with the understanding of the meanings of Surah Al-Fatihah by virtue of which one hundred forty thousand nine hundred and ninety­nine sciences were disclosed to me.
(Ad-Dawlat-ul-Makkiyyah, pp. 79)
Similarly, Imam Sha'rani has mentioned in his book entitled
'Meezan':
My brother, Afzaluddin has derived two hundred and forty-seven thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine sciences from Sur ah Al-Fatihah.
(Ad-Dawlat-ul-Makkiyyah, pp. 79)
It becomes quite obvious from these reports that although the Holy Quran is apparently a compilation of thirty parts but internally it is such a treasure of billions of sciences and wisdom that can never be quantified. Following is a famous couplet of an eminent Sufi:
i.e. all knowledge and all information is available in the Holy Quran but people's
intellect is not capable to comprehend it.

Conclusively, the information in the Holy Quran is not limited only to the sciences and laws, but reality is that it contains details of the whole universe and of each and every existing thing in the universe. The Holy Quran comprehensively explains about each and every star of the sky, each and every drop of oceans, each and everything of the earth, each and every sand grain of deserts, each and every leaf of trees, each and every aspect of the Divine throne and the Kursi, each and every corner of the universe, each and every event of the past, each and every issue of the present, and each and every incident of the future. Therefore, Allah  has said:

We have left out nothing in this book.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 7, Surah Al-An'aam, Ayah 38)
However, this fact should be kept in mind that this distinctive excellence of the Holy Quran is not for me, you and the common people, but the full exposure of this distinctive attribute of the Holy Quran is specifically for the most Beloved Rasool of Allah and this is a distinct
miracle of the Holiest Rasool that he has fully and comprehensively understood all the subjects and meanings of the Holy Quran. After the complete revelation of the Holy Quran, no item of the universe and no event in the past, present or future is unknown to the  Beloved Rasool, and he has perfect and complete information about every seen and unseen thing. As Allah has mentioned:
And We have sent down this Quran upon you, which is a clear explanation
of all things.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 14, Surah An-Nahl, Ayah 89)
Also, by virtue of the Holy Rasool , some friends of Allah and eminent scholars have also received knowledge, as per their capability, from these hidden treasure of knowledge. Some of these treasures of knowledge
are mentioned in uncountable pages of the books while a lot of such  information remained unprinted and concealed in the hearts of great people, which will continue to come to light till the Judgement Day, . As per saying of the Noble Rasool  :  , blessings of the Holy Quran will reveal from time to time and the Muslims will continue to benefit from them.
However, it is a fact that this concise collection (i.e. this book: 'Quranic Wonders Part 1 & Part 2') comprising of Quranic events and similar other thousands of books on Quranic subjects delivered by eminent scholars of the past do not even hold as much significance when compared with the total know ledge and information contained in the Holy Quran as much as a drop of water holds in comparison to the oceans of the entire world and a grain of sand holds when compared with the entire earth. This is because the Holy Quran is such an infinite treasure of know ledge and wisdom that can never be explored completely. The eminent Islamic scholars will continue extracting marvellous pearls from it and thousands of such books will be written until the last Day of the world.
I am pleased to deliver two brief collections covering some subjects of the Holy Quran and thus tried to enlist myself at the bottom of the list of those scholars who have derived such magnificent pearls of knowledge from the Ayahs of the Quran that have spiritualized the faith of billions of believers till the Judgement Day. But I am very much ashamed that due to my poor knowledge and weak intellect, and the declining health conditions, I could not write any further, nor could pen down anything extraordinary that can inspire or benefit the scholarly people.
However, I pray in the court of Allah that, by sake of His Beloved and Blessed Rasool  , may He accept my little effort and bless it with recognition in this worldly life as well as afterlife!

Some attributes of Allah

The unbelievers of Arab used to raise various questions about Allah in the court of the Holiest Rasool . Some would ask, 'What is the lineage and family of Allah ? Who did He get lordship in legacy from? Who will be His heir?' Someone asked whether Allah is made of gold or silver, iron or wood? Someone asked, 'What does Allah eat and drink?'
In response to these questions, Allah revealed Surah Al-Ikhlas unto His Beloved Rasool and illuminated the path towards His recognition by declaring His Being and Attributes. Through this Divine declaration, He  removed the darkness of ignorant thoughts in which those people were trapped in.
(I'afseer Khaza'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 1086; part 30, Surah Al-Ikhlas, Ayah 1)
Allah   mentioned:
Say you (0 Beloved), 'He iJ; Allah, He is One. Allah is The Independent. He has no children, nor is He born from anyone. And there is no one equal to Him.'
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 30, Surah Al-Ikhlas, Ayah 1-4)

Moral: 

In these few Ayahs of Surah Al-Ikhlas, Allah has mentioned knowledge of divinity so concisely that the description of the meanings which it contains may constitute a big library. Allah is the Most Magnificent and the Most Perfect in His attributes of being Rab. He cannot be exemplified by analogy or imagery. He has no associate. He does not eat or drink anything. He is not dependent upon anyone. On the other hand, everyone else is dependent upon Him. He has always existed and will continue to exist forever. To be born is an attribute of Haadis [i.e. the one who did not exist previously and came into existence later on]. Therefore, He is neither son of anyone, nor father of anyone. There is no one like or similar to Him in any respect.
There are many Ahadees narrating the excellence and virtues of this Surah. It has been declared to be equivalent to one third of the Holy Quran, meaning if this Surah is recited thrice, then the reward for reciting the whole Holy Quran will be provided.
A person humbly said to the Holy Rasool, 'I have a great love for this Surah.' It was replied, 'Its love will make you enter the Paradise.' (Iafseer Khaza 'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 1086; part 30, Surah Al-Ikhlas, Ayah 1)

Harmony between ISLAM AND KUFR is impossible

A delegation of the unbelievers of Quraysh came to the Beloved and Blessed Rasool and said, 'If you follow our religion, then we will follow yours. You worship our creators (idols) for a year, and we will worship your Creator, Allah for a year.' The Rasool of Rahmah  replied, 'May Allah save me from the act that I associate partners to Him.' Upon hearing this, the unbelievers of Quraysh said, 'If you cannot worship the idols, then at least place your hand on one of our idols. We will then acknowledge you and begin worshipping your Rab.'
On this occasion, Surah Al-Kafiroon was revealed. The Beloved and Blessed Rasool went to the Holy Ka'bah and recited this Surah to the unbelievers of Quraysh. Consequently, they became hopeless. Being stirred with anger, they began distressing the Holy Rasool in various ways. (I'afseer Khaza 'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 1085; part 30, Surah Al-Kafiroon, Ayah 1) 
Say you (O Beloved), 'O disbelievers! I do not worship what you worship. And nor do you worship whom I worship. And I shall not worship whom you have worshiped. Nor will you worship whom I worship. For you is your religfon, and for me is my religion.'
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 30, Surah Al-Kafiroon, Ayah 1-6)

Moral:

 The moral that we deduce from the message in this Surah and through the blessed traditions of the Beloved and Blessed Rasool is that there can never be harmony between Islam and Kufr. Those Muslims who take part in the religious ceremonies of unbelievers to please them and give donations in such polytheistic rituals of idolatry should take a lesson from this Surah and should believe that monotheism and polytheism can never coexist. A monotheist can never be a polytheist and a polytheist can never be a monotheist.

Two Journers By Quraysh

In the holy city of Makkah, there was neither any cultivation nor any type of trade or industry. Yet, the people of the Quraysh tribe were very rich and affluent, and they would entertain the Hajj pilgrims generously with great hospitality. The secret behind the prosperity of the Quraysh was that they would carry out two business trips every year. In the winter, they would travel to Yemen and in the summer, they would travel to Syria. They were cordially respected by the people of all cities being hailed from Haram and the Holy Ka'bah. The people of Quraysh would earn a lot of profit from these trades. Moreover, by virtue of being the inhabitants of the Haram, they would never face any sort of raid or robbery despite the fact that massacres and ravaging were very common on the outskirts. Besides the Quraysh, whenever the people of other tribes would travel, their caravans were often attacked, looted and killed. So, the peaceful situation available for the Quraysh to carry out business trips was not destined for other tribes. (I'afseer Khaza'in-ul-'Irfan pp. 1084-1089; part 30, Surah Quraysh, Ayah 1-4)
Out of numerous blessings that Allah bestowed upon Quraysh, Allah commanded them for His worship by specially reminding the blessings associated with these two journeys by saying: 
Due to giving inclination to Quraysh. (Allah gave them) the inclination during both their (business) journeys during winter and summer. So they should worship the Lord of this House (the Ka'bah). The One Who gave them food in hunger, and secured them from a great fear.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 30, Surah Quraysh, Ayah 1-4)
These people were fed during their hunger means i.e. by virtue of these two trade journeys, a source of income and sustenance was provided for them and their caravans were provided protection from being looted. Therefore, it is obligatory upon them to worship the Rab  of the Ka'bah, Who has bestowed them with His blessings. They should not worship the idols, who have given them nothing.

Moral: 

In this Surah, Allah has ordered to abandon idol worshiping and worship Him by reminding of His two blessings. Although the Quraysh are specifically mentioned in this Surah, but this commandment is for all the people of the world, that people should remember the blessings of Allah , worship the Sole Provider of these blessings i.e. Allah  and refrain from idol worshiping.

Greatness of the HORSES OF MUJAHIDIN

What a great rank is held by the Islamic warriors who perform Jihad in the path of Allah ! Regarding this, Allah has praised such brave men in numerous Ayahs of the Holy Quran. In Surah Al-' Aadiyaat, Allah has described the splendour and grandeur of the horses of these warriors, and has mentioned their honour and glory by bearing the oath of the speed and flair of these horses. Allah  says:
By those (horses) that run, with a panting breath (in war). Then bring out sparks from stones by striking (their) hooves. And by those who raid ( on enemies) at dawn. Then thereby blowing dust. Then penetrate in the midst of the enemy forces. Indeed man is very ungrateful towards his Lord.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 30, Surah Al-'Aadiyaat, Ayah 1-6)
The commentators are agreed unanimously that these horses refer to the horses of Islamic warriors; which are so reverent and esteemed in the court of Allah that He  has sworn an oath mentioning these horses and their elegance. Therefore, Allah said, 'I swear by those horses who sprint during holy war whilst breathing heavily, I swear by those horses who bring  out sparks by striking their shod hoofs on the stones during night, I swear by those horses who raid infidels in the early morning, I swear by those horses who run in the battlefield raising clouds of dust and I swear by those horses who break into the army of infidels.' After bearing so many oaths, Allah  said, 'Man is very ungrateful to his Rab.'
 How honourable the one is that is mentioned by Allah swearing an oath! The greatness of all those things that Allah has mentioned for swearing oath is unquestionable and all such things bear very high reverence in the eyes of the Muslims. So, how high will be the reverence of the horses of Islamic warriors! 
Moral: From this, we learnt that Allah loves each and every thing of His beloved people and all the belongings of the beloved people of Allah bear reverence and dignity. Since Islamic warriors are dear to Allah, Allah likes even their horses and swear an oath by mentioning them,  -
Since the Holy Quran mentions the exalted status of the horses of Islamic warriors, it can be deduced that the reverence of the weapons, ammunition, bows and swords of warriors is also very high. That's why people have preserved the swords of some Islamic warriors in shrines for ages as sacred relics for getting blessings from and to pay respect.
