Surah Al-Maidah Ayat 114 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Ala-Madudi

312. From this we learn that to celebrate the day of the Holy Prophet's blessed birthday is proven through a Prophet because the Holy Prophets birth is a greaters blessing than the tray of food sent down to Hazrat Isa. Also, this incident helps to prove the permissibility to celebrate specific days of Allah's bounties and refer to these days as blessed days, as it is the way of Prophets Appointing fixed days too is the way of Prophets. The big day of the Christianis the commemoration of this very event. 

313. There are three meanings of the word "Sustainer":

1. The Giver of sustenance; 

2. Creator of sustenance; 

3. The Supplier of sustenance. In this the third meaning is intended. 

Those who outwardly supply sustenance to others and are a means of their sustenance eg. the rich who provide for the poor, and the ruler to his subjects as they are the outward means of supplying sustenance. Of course, Allah Almighty is the true and absolute provider of sustenance as He is the causer of causes. From this, we learn that it is better to supplicate to the pious for the fulfillment of your desires because the disciples of Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) did not pray themselves for the tray of food but had asked Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) to pray for it. For dua to be effective you require both the correct impression created through words and tongue. To feel the effect of the bullet you require a rifle.
