وَالَّیۡلِ اِذَا یَغۡشٰی
یعنی جب بھی دنیا میں مذہبی تاریکی چھا جاتی ہے اگرکوئی غور سے دیکھے تو اسے معلوم ہو جائے کہ وہی دن ہوتے ہیں جبکہ دنیا مجددوں اور ماموروں سے خالی ہوجاتی ہے۔
91:5.
In the preceding Surah the principal subject of discussion was Ash- Shams, i.e. the Holy Prophet, who is the source and spring of all light. This is why mention of the sun and the day precedes that of the moon and the night. But in the present Surah a contrast is instituted between believers and disbelievers, and as the latter are generally larger in number and wield greater power and influence, mention of the night which represents disbelievers precedes that of the day which represents believers.
91:5.
Commentary:
In this verse "the night when it covers up" has been cited as a witness to the truth of the Holy Prophet. It is a Divine law that when darkness spreads over the earth, a heavenly Reformer is raised. And now that humanity is groping in spiritual darkness God has raised the Holy Prophet in order that His servants might be rescued from the "Slough of Despond" in which they are stuck up.

在上一经章中, 讨论的主题是太阳, 即穆圣--------一切光明之源泉。这就是谈到月亮和黑夜之前先提到太阳和白天的道理。但是在这一经章中, 在信者和不信者之间作了对照, 因为后者在数量上通常更大, 所产生的力量和影响也更大, 所以先提到代表不信者的夜, 然后谈代表信者的昼。

وَالنَّہَارِ اِذَا تَجَلّٰی
یعنی جب کبھی دنیا پر نیکی اور پاکیزگی کا دورہ آئے تو غور کرنے سے صاف پتہ لگ جائے گا کہ اس زمانہ میں مجددین اور مامورین نے کوشش کرکے اسلام کا نور لوگوں کے دلوں میں داخل کر دیا ہے۔
91:4.
By the substitution of the word Tajalla (shines forth) in this verse for Jalla (reveals its glory) in the corresponding verse in the preceding Surah, it is hinted that whereas in the preceding Surah the emphasis was on the high spiritual stature of the Teacher, in the present Surah it is on the great ability of the pupils to learn and assimilate the Divine Teaching.
91:4.
Commentary:
The verse signifies that with the appearance of the Holy Prophet the night of disbelief is about to give place to the day of belief.
By the substitution of the word تجلی (shines forth) in this verse in place of جلاھا (reveals its glory) in the corresponding verse in the preceding Surah it is hinted that whereas in the preceding Surah the emphasis was on the high spiritual stature of the teacher, in the present Surah it is on the great ability of the pupils to learn and assimilate the teaching.

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّکَرَ وَالۡاُنۡثٰۤی
یعنی انسانوں میں سے بعض لوگ ایسے ہوتے ہیں جو لوگوں کوہدایت دیتے ہیں اور بعض لوگ ایسے ہوتے ہیں جو ان کی تبلیغ سے ہدایت حاصل کرتے ہیں یعنی مادہ کی حیثیت رکھتے ہیں۔
36:37; 51:50; 78:9.
Procreation of man depends upon the coming together of two individuals of opposite sexes. The characteristic quality of the one (the male) is to give and of the other (the female) is to receive. Like the physical world, there are in the spiritual world males—God’s great Prophets and Divine Reformers who teach and guide; and spiritual females—their followers, who receive and benefit by the Divine Teaching. The verse embodies a hint that by the coming together of the perfect Teacher—the Holy Prophet—and the ideal pupils—his Companions—a new world is about to be born.

人类生儿育女是由于两个不同性别的个体的结合。男性的特点是授予, 女性的特点是收受。就像物质世界一样, 精神世界的男性是安拉的伟大的众先知和复兴者, 他们教导并指引人们; 精神世界的女性是他们的信徒, 他们接受并受益于安拉的教导。这节经文体现了一个暗示: 完美无缺的导师--------穆圣--------和理想的学生--------他的伙伴--------的结合后, 一个新世界即将诞生。

اِنَّ سَعۡیَکُمۡ لَشَتّٰی
这节经文使我们注意到信者和不信者之间大相径庭的目标。信者专心致志力图吸取真理, 而不信者妄图加以反对, 制造种种障碍, 阻止正道。两种不同努力必然有迥然不同的结果。
یعنی مسلمانوں اور کافروں کی۔ کہ ایک ہدایت کے لئے کوشش کر رہا ہے اور دوسرا گمراہی کے لئے۔
The verse draws attention to the widely divergent goals of believers and disbelievers, and also to the disparity in the endeavours they make to achieve their respective goals. Whereas the efforts of believers are devoted to the dissemination of Truth, those of disbelievers are directed towards opposing it and putting obstacles and impediments in its way. The results of the two efforts must inevitably be different.
Important Words:
شتی (diverse). They say شت الاشیاء i.e. he disunited or dispersed the things. أمرشت means, a broken or disorganized state of affairs. قوم شتی means, a people separated or consisting of sundry bodies. جاؤوا اشتاتاً means, they came separate (Lane).
