What is the wisdom behind the arrangement of verses in the description of the Servants of the Most Merciful in Surat Al-Furqan?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The wisdom behind the order of the attributes of the Servants of the Most Merciful in the Holy Quran is attributed to their succession with the verse: "And it is He who made the night and the day a succession for whoever desires to remember or desires gratitude." Their daytime attributes related to dealing with people were mentioned, then their nighttime attributes related to worship, followed by attributes of spending.

After that came attributes of abstaining from major sins (associating partners with Allah, killing a soul, unlawful sexual intercourse), then attributes of uprightness and adherence to Allah's law, and it concluded with their supplication for increased good and improved circumstances. These attributes were divided into four sections: Adorning oneself with religious perfections, abandoning the errors of polytheism, adhering to the laws of Islam, and seeking an increase in righteous conditions.
