Transliteration:( Fazakkir in nafa'atizzikraa )
11. The word ZUKKIRA is made from TAZKEER and the meaning of Tazkeer is to make it to remember, to give a reminder, beneficial counselling. It means O My Beloved! You should make your followers remember all the religious laws and beliefs. Or, remind them about the promises of the Day of the Covenant, the incidents of the past and future until the Day of Judgement. Or, only he can give a reminder who is fully aware of things himself. Or, do good for the creation. It should be remembered in the word ZAKKARA there is no restriction of time, place or any specific creation. So, it will mean reminding everyone, at all times and at all places. Until the Day of Judgement, the succession of the Holy Prophet's making the people remember will continue. The lectures of Islamic scholars are the reminders of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم Also the reminders of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم are verbal as well as practical. The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم had given order in commemoration of for the events of the pious. The fast of Ashurah (10th of Muharram), the basic principles of Hajj, Qurbani, are indeed the commemorations of the pious. This tells us that Meelad celebrations, Me'raaj and Urs are all auspicious things as they are all forms of reminders.
12. Surely counselling will prove beneficial. You will be rewarded with it; the listeners will receive guidance from it. Therefore do counsel them. It should be remembered that to keep an existing condition pending is for the purpose of emphasis, like "If you are my son, then become an Alim." Says Allah Almighty: "We'll tell you if this Qur'aan is from Allah and yet you reject it...."(S41:V52). And the witness of Hazrat Yusuf had said: "And if his shirt is torn from behind (S12:V27).
The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم says If there emerge saints from my followers then Hazrat Umar (May Allah be Pleased with him) will be from them." It means there will be saints for certain, and Umar will be from them. Thus, there is no objection that can be raised against the verse. One should continue with propagation.
