English Translation of Al-Quran
[36].Surah Yaseen [Yaseen]
Ayat 11. You (O Muhammad ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) can only warn him who follows the Reminder (the Qur’an and Sunnah), and fears the Most Beneficent (Allah) unseen. Bear you (O Muhammad ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) to such one the glad tidings of forgiveness, and a generous reward (i.e. Paradise).
Tafseer of Surah Yaseen, Ayat 11. Thou canst but admonish such a one as follows the Message and fears the (Lord) Most Gracious, unseen: give such a one, therefore, good tidings, of Forgiveness and a Reward most generous. Cf. 35:18. As far as those who have obstinately delivered themselves to evil, the preaching of Allah’s Message has no appeal, because their own will shuts them out. But there are others who are anxious to hear Allah’s Message and receive Allah’s grace. They love Allah and fear to offend against His Holy Law, and their fear is not merely superficial but deep-seated: for while they do not yet see Allah, nor do other people see them, they have the same sense of Allah’s presence as if they saw Him, and their religion is not a mere pose, ‘to be seen of men’. See 35:18. Unseen is adverbial here: their reverence for Allah is unaffected by the fact that they do not see him, or that other people do not observe them, because their attitude arises out of a genuine love for Allah. To such persons the Messenger of Allah comes as a gospel or good news: because it shows them the way of forgiveness for anything wrong in their past, and it gives them the promise of a full reward in the future-generous beyond any deserts of their own, but arising out of Allah’s unbounded Bounty.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “Whoever performs Qiyam during Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), with Faith and being hopeful of Allah’s reward, will have his former sins forgiven.”
[Al-Bukhari Volume 3, Book 32, Number 226]
Lesson : Qiyam here means what keeps one awake to one’s capacity and for worship and makes one perform Nawafil, impels one to beg pardon for sins from Allah, urges one to praise Him. Especially, if a person performs `Isha prayer and Fajr prayer in congregation, he will hopefully attain all those distinctions which are mentioned in this Hadith.
