Jum'ah Journal-The Human Being

I am sure you all (Muslims) know about these ayat but I wish to make some comments.
S. 20th (Taha), aya # 113 and 114

"And thus We have sent this down-An Arabic Qur'an-and explained therein in detail some of the warnings, in order that they may fear Allah or that it may cause their remembrance (of Him). High above is Allah, The King, the Truth;
Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me in Knowledge."

and S. #75, Al-Qiyamah, Aya # 14 through 20

"Nay, Man will be evidence against himself, even though he were to put up his excuses
Move not thy tongue concerning it (the Qur'an) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect and to promulgate it: but when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated.) Nay more it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear).
Nay (ye men) but love the fleeting life."
Now, all exegetes say that these verses indicate the human aspect of the prophet(and it is true) when The Author (Allah SWT) indicates to the 'receiving' human being not to hurry in reciting when trying to "learn" the verses from the reciter (Jibreel AS) who Allah is calling him as "We reciting"
I feel uneasy about the word "Promulgated" (Yusuf Ali's) but prefer Asad's rendering (of fa-inna Alaina jam'ahu wa Qur'anah)----"for behold it is for Us to gather it (in thy heart) and to cause it to be read (as it aught to be read)"
I have chosen the ayat before and after (the verses that suggest Allah's instruction to the prophet) which stand out clearly (almost) out of sequence. As if Allah SWT is revealing the wahi and then suddenly starts "instructing" the prophet, "dont hurry or worry that you will forget because Allah SWT will not make you forget it. Just follow it as it is being revealed". This is no doubt about the human aspect of worry of the prophet related to this situation of "wahi".
Asad however makes another point that I will quote from his "The Message O f The Qur'an"
After making a point about both passages (quoted above from the two Surahs) he goes on to say...."but both have also a wider import inasmuch as they apply to every believer who reads, listens to or studies the Qur'an; in 20:114 we are told not to draw hasty -and therefore potentaily erroneous- conclusions from isolated verse or statements of the Qur'an since only the study of the WHOLE of its message can give us a correct insight. The present passage (of 75th Surah) on the other hand lays stress on the need to imbibe the divine writ slowly, patiently to give full thought to the meaning of every word and phrase and to avoid the kind of haste which is indistinguishable from mechanical glibness and which, moreover, induces the person who reads recites or listens to remain satisfied with the more beautiful sound of the Qur'anic language without understanding or even paying adequate attention to-its message."

As you can see this man (Asad -Leopold Weis) has a special insight into the meanings of Qur'an. His genius is not just that he was an accomplished writer-Journalist but also he was well-versed in the Christain and Jewish Scriptures. I love the way he makes his points. May Allah grant him Al-Jannah
