 English Translation of Al-Quran

[24].Surah An-Nur [The Light]

Ayat 34. And indeed Allah have sent down for you Ayat (The Quran, proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) that make things plain, and the example of those who passed away before you, and an admonition for those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious ).

[Tafseer] of ayt 34. We have already sent down to you verses making things clear, an illustration from (the story of) people who passed away before you, and an admonition for those who fear (Allah). This prepares the way for the magnificent Verse of Light that follows, and its sublime meaning.

English Translation of Hadith  

Hazrat Amr bin Al-Aas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "The difference between our observance of Saum (fasting) and that of the people of the Scriptures is Suhur (predawn meal in Ramadan).''

[Muslim Book 06, Chapter 09, Hadith # 2413].  

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nur Ayat 34."that make things plain, and the example of those who passed away before you, and an admonition for those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious )" We learn from this Hadith that Suhur is a distinctive mark with which Allah has blessed the Muslim Ummah.
