(yata’awwal) the Qur’aan by saying in rukoo‘ (bowing) and sujood (prostration)
[during salaah],

(. ﻲِﻟ ﺭِﻔﹾﻏﺍ ﻡﻬﱠﻠﻟﺍ ﻙِﺩﻤﺤِﺒﻭ ﺎﹶﻨﺒﺭ ﻡﻬﱠﻠﻟﺍ ﻙﹶﻨﺎ  ﺤﺒﺴ )

‘Glory be to You, O Allaah, our Lord, and Praised are You. O Allaah, forgive
57
me’.”
She was referring to the Prophet’s execution of Allaah’s command in the verse,

( ÇÌÈ $R/#§qs? tb%Ÿ2 ¼çm¯RÎ) 4 çnöÏÿøótGó™$#ur y7În/u‘ ωôJpt¿2 ôxÎm7|¡sù )

“Glorify Your Lord and ask His forgiveness, for verily, He is Oft-
58
Forgiving.”

When ta’weel is used in reference to news or information, it refers to its
occurrence, as in the verse,

5Qöqs)Ïj9 ZpuH÷qu‘ur “W‰èd AOù=Ïæ 4’n?tã çm»oYù=¢Ásù 5=»tGÅ3Î/ Nßg»uZ÷¥Å_ ô‰s)s9ur )

4 ( ¼ã&s#ƒÍrù's? žwÎ) tbrãÝàZtƒ ö@yd ÇÎËÈ tbqãZÏB÷sãƒ

“Verily, I have brought them a book of knowledge—and explained it
in detail—a guide and a mercy for the Believers. Are they only waiting
59
for the occurrence (ta’weelahu) (of what is in the Book)?”

That is, Allaah ridicules those who do not accept revelation by asking them if they
are foolishly awaiting the occurrence of the final hour and its signs, the Judgment,
Paradise, and the Hellfire, when it will be too late.
