1. (I swear) by the sun and its brightness (1).
1. In this Surah there are seven oaths mentioned. Firstly, the oath of the sun and its light; because the sun maintains the order of the world like the age of the animals, agricultural; fields, the gardens, the grain and the ripening of the fruit are connected to it. It is for this reason. that the sun has been mentioned first. To the Sufi sages the Holy Prophet is the sun, while Shariah and Tareeqat are the lights emanating from him. It should be remembered that the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم has been called a sun for several reasons. One the entire world benefits from the sun at all times, during the day the benefit is direct while during the night the benefit is indirect through the moon and the stars. Likewise, the bounty and blessings of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم have always remained in the world and will always remain. Before his advent it was received through the previous Prophets and after his worldly demise it will continue to be received through the pious scholars and the Saints. The Holy Prophet is the sun while the other Prophets are stars and the scholars of the Ummah are the particles.
Secondly, the moon and the stars, generator, electricity, etc. can provide light during the d night but they cannot remove the night, whereas the sun removes the night, to bring about the day. Likewise, the night of infidelity from the heart is removed through the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم No matter how many thousands of pious deeds the infidels may perform, they cannot become believers.
Thirdly, in spite of being a million miles away from the earth the sun dries the impure earth to make it pure. Similarly, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم is purifying our impure hearts from a distance of thousands of miles. And he purifies them." says the Holy Qur'aan.
Fourthly, the sun melts and flows the ice and dew of the entire night. Likewise, the blessed Gaze of the Holy Prophet And by the moon when it follows of uproots from far the ice of sin and negligence from our hearts It is the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه واله وسلم who had the idols thrown out of the Holy Ka'bah and it is him who we cleanses the Ka'bah of the heart of all its idols.
Fifthly, after the sun has risen the negligence of every person is removed, everybody is safe or from the harm of the robbers. In any heart in ts which there is the light of the Holy Prophet there is no room for any me negligence or the fear of the devil.
Sixthly, every king or a commoner, wealthy or the poor needs the sun. Likewise, every Prophet, saint, the pious and the sinner, is in a nerd of the Holy Prophet.
Seventhly, while the stars receive their light from the sun, the sun has directly received the slight from Allah Almighty Similarly, everyone obtains bounties from the Holy Prophet while the Holy Prophet has received everything from Allah Almighty.
Eighthly, although the basic light of the sun is one yet it enables different colours to be reflected from different stars. Likewise, the resplendent light of the sparkling Holy Prophet different hues of this light in the hearts of the Qadiris Chishtis, Soharwardis, Naqshbandis, etc. It should be remembered that there irefulgence of the Holy Prophet is of two types: the outer and thinner The same of the outer or apparent refulgence is to Sharial, which help to rectify and purify our bodies. The inner refulgence and manifestation is called Tareeqat, which safeguards our hearts.1. (I swear) by the sun and its brightness (1).
