friends, dato and tanseri,
with surah al muzammil, the 4th surah to be revealed to our nabi[pbuh],we have several choice here.
we can remain with prof quraish shihab or shaykh tawfique chowdhury or even listen to ustad nouman ali khan or shamsuri......all 'run of the mill' tafseer, with a high degree of 'political correctness'.
but i want to be a wee bit provocative today.
we listen to shaykh abu talha.
his commentary is original and 'no hold barred'.
i love his take on surah al fatihah which we did at the start of our long , wonderful journey weaving thru the qur'an from al fatihah, thru to juz amma and then on to al baqarah and thereafter..
we started in sept 2012 and insyaallah by end of march we should qatam our tafseer masterclass when we reach surah abasa.
shaykh abu talha has been labelled many thing by his detractors, .....a return to 'qutbism' etc and etc.
this is of course scandalous game of labelling.
just listen to him and then make up your mind.
put yourselves in the shoes of our nabi[pbuh]
bear in mind when nabi had this surah, it was only the 4th surah handed to him..ie after iqra'. followed by surah al mudhatir and surah al qalam.
not much of qur'an as yet revealed to our nabi [pbuh] up to that point.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O thou wrapped up in thy raiment! (1) Keep vigil the night long, save a little - (2) A half thereof, or abate a little thereof (3) Or add (a little) thereto - and chant the Qur'an in measure, (4) For we shall charge thee with a word of weight. (5) Lo! the vigil of the night is (a time) when impression is more keen and speech more certain. (6) Lo! thou hast by day a chain of business. (7) So remember the name of thy Lord and devote thyself with a complete devotion - (8) Lord of the East and the West; there is no God save Him; so choose thou Him alone for thy defender - (9) And bear with patience what they utter, and part from them with a fair leave-taking. (10) Leave Me to deal with the deniers, lords of ease and comfort (in this life); and do thou respite them awhile. (11)
masha allah!
seven long years
this life is not a picnic but alhamdullillah we are almost there!
the quran is a universal need...and those who think and ponder will benefit most from it.

shaykh abu talha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQjHmYT12R4
" the issue of muhammad with the quraish of his time over the issue of god or gods was not the issue of god or no god....the quraish also have god, too many of them in fact.
the issue is in fact about having a Rabb!.."
" keep your Rabb always in the foreground and background in whatever you do or perceive in your life..."
shaykh abu talha on al fatihah,
http://tafseerkoran.blogspot.com/2012/09/surah-al-fatiha-1-1-7.html
' at worse, they would love to drone him, if political correctness would not be a major issue'.
their rationale is that they say this is 'qutbism', and any reminder of this should be nipped in the bud.
you muslims can have your god, but no Rabb please!'
.....that summarises the credo of the western world now.
if you must have your Rabb, we will drone and declare war on you.
that have happened in afghanistan, syria and yemen and any where for that matter in future....
