لَوۡ اَنۡزَلۡنَا ہٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ عَلٰی جَبَلٍ لَّرَاَیۡتَہٗ خٰشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنۡ خَشۡیَۃِ اللّٰہِ ۚ وَتِلۡکَ الۡاَمۡثٰلُ نَضۡرِبُہَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّہُمۡ یَتَفَکَّرُوۡنَ
13:32.
اس آیت میں جو پہاڑ کا لفظ آتا ہے‘ اس سے مراد درحقیقت ایسے لوگ ہیں جو اپنی قوم میں پہاڑ کی حیثیت رکھتے ہیں۔ پس پہاڑ سے مراد پتھروں کے پہاڑ نہیں۔ بلکہ فرماتا ہے کہ قرآن کریم کے اندر جو خشیۃ اللہ کی تعلیم ہے اگر یہ ایک بڑی سے بڑی وجاہت والے آدمی پر بھی نازل ہوتی تو وہ شخص بھی خداتعالیٰ کے سامنے ٹکڑے ہو کر گر جاتا۔
13:32.
The verse may signify that the proud pagan Arabs whom no pre- Islamic teaching could wean from their polytheistic beliefs and idolatrous practices and who, like a strong rock, remained unmoved and firmly wedded to their Bedouin usages, unaffected by the corrosive influence of the glamour and glitter of the neighbouring Christian civilization, would be humbled before the sublime and powerful Message of Islam, and from their erstwhile stony hearts would gush forth fountains of light and learning.
13:32.
Commentary:
Metaphorically, the word جبل signifies a big and proud man; the chief or leader of a people. In this sense of the word the verse would mean that the Quran contains such a sublime and powerful Message that it would make the heart of even a proud man melt. Or the verse may signify that the proud pagan Arabs whom no pre-Islamic teaching could wean from their polytheistic beliefs and idolatrous practices and who like a strong rock remained unmoved and firmly wedded to their Bedouin usages unaffected by the erosive influence of the glamour and glitter of the neighbouring Christian civilization, would be humbled before its sublime and powerful Message, and from their stony hearts would gush forth fountains of light and learning.
