TRAINING AND SELF-PURIFICATION MEANS KNOWLEDGE AND ACTION
Training denotes the missionary program sent by Allah and it is related to Him.
AND TEACH THEM THE BOOK AND THE WISDOM.(Surah Jumah 62:2)
This portion of the verse shows that training is related to two things , 'Book'
and 'Wisdom'.Actually both are one and the same .'Book' means the knowledge of
the Holy Quran and wisdom denotes the secret of the creation of the Universe.In
other words 'Book' is the codification of religious law and 'Wisdom' means the
realities connected with creation of the universe and it is related to natural
factors.For example the Almighty has created the universe. Now this is not a
religious command.Therefore, one who entends to acquire perfection and
righteousness must strive for Quranisc knowledge.One should study it and act
upon it. The verses regarding the oneness of Allah, His names, Attributes and
Divive acts must be studied with concentration and through this exercise we
must strenghten our basic beliefs.We must also pay attention to the laws of
Shariah. We must perform obligatory acts and shun prohibited ones.We must also
ponder on the verses with regard to
the Day of Judgement. Through these verses each one of us must create a
longing for Paradise and a fear of Hell.In this way a man is gradually
persuaded to perform good deeds and distance himself from evil deeds.
There are many verses of the Quran concerning wisdom and which cannot be
understood by the five senses of man.A study of these verses indeed tells man
regarding his origin and his destination. what is the aim behind the creation
of man and other creatures?And why they subsequently leave the world?What is
the purpose of designing and devising the long caravan of creatures and created
things? The reply to the questions is the foundation of Quran.
