Lesson
Hamuu-latun –
(the cattle, which are bearer of the burden), grammatically this word is an adjective,
which has been derived from hamal. Hamal means “to lift the burden”. Here
it aims such animals, which are used as the means of conveyance, as transport
like camels, donkeys and mules etc.
Farshun – (those cattle which are of
little height), literally farshun
means bed-clothes, carpets etc. Here it aims “the cattle are of little height as
the sheep and goats etc. because the height of these cattle is nearly close to
the earth”.
‘Ammaa –
actually this word is a collection of two words - ‘am
and maa. After mixing the
both words, it is “read and written” as ‘ammaa
collectively. ‘am means “or” and maa means “which”.
‘Ish-timaalun – (to cling, to embrace, enwind),
this word has been derived from shamal, which means “to cover anything,
hiding inside”. ‘Ish-timaal means “to
be wrapped around an object and hide it inside oneself” as a wearing shawl is
wrapped around and covers the body. Here it has been described that “before the
birth of a child, the womb of the female keeps it enwrapped inside”. That womb
is called raham, plural of which is ‘arhaa-m.
Allah
Almighty created the quadruped animals also for the humankind, out of which
some animals are useful for conveying the load and bearing the burden. These types
of animals are tall in height, whereas some animals like cattle have a little
height. You should eat the meat of those cattle, of which is eaten and drink the
milk of those animals, of which is drunk.
Allah
Almighty commanded His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him): Ask the idolaters! That which you make some cattle forbidden or legal to
eat in the name of idols, tell about them! Wherever has Allah Almighty
commanded to do so?
There
are eight in numbers of
these cattle in (four) pairs as a whole including male and female; two of
sheep, two of goats and remaining two pairs will come later. Tell Me (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) now: whether Allah Almighty has
forbidden the male from them or female or those which their bellies contain? What
the right you have to make any of those cattle forbidden or lawful to eat, if
He has not commanded so?
