Commentary
Yasfi-kud-dimaaa – the
word yasfi-ku has been derived from safaka, which
means “to shed blood, to cause to flow”. And ‘ad-dimaaa is
plural of ‘dam’ which means blood).
Nusabbihu – (We hymn) – this
word has come out from tasbiih, which means “to consider by heart
that Allah Almighty is the Most Superior than entire creatures, and accept it
with one’s tongue, and in addition, admit that all good attributes in Him are
according to His Dignity.
Nu-qaddisu – (We sanctify) –
this word has been derived from taqdiis, which means “to sanctify,
to deem that God Almighty is pure and higher from the entire bad traits and
attributes of His creature”. The word Muqaddas is also from
the same origin which means “Holy”.
When the Angels (peace be
upon them) heard proclamation from God Almighty that: ‘Innii jaa-‘ilun
fil-‘arzi KHALIIFAH (Lo! I am about to place a viceroy in the earth),
they said, “We accept with our word and deed that You (Allah Almighty) are
Pure, Sanctified and Holy, and request that there is a danger of quarrel on the
earth, from this creature. He will shed blood in the world, and due
to him; the world will become home of ruin and destruction, because he will
follow his desires. He will not be able to obey Your Commandments wholly.
The Angels (peace be upon
them) requested: O Lord of the Worlds! If Your aim of creating Your Viceroy is
that You be praised in every side, all creatures sing the songs of Your praise
and obey to You, then we exist for Your such duty/service. We are ready every
time to listen to Your Orders and act upon Your advice. So, what is the need of
creating a worldly creature on the earth?
They also requested: Your
Nature is sacred and pure, Your every work is correct but we cannot understand
that “out of the creatures of the earth, how can be any such creature; which
may be ready every time for Your obedience, praise, hymn and sanctity?
