74 Al-Muddaththir(المدثر), Ayah 51

فَرَّتْ مِنْ قَسْوَرَةٍ 51 ٥١

Fleeing from a lion? (51)

Tafsir

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِيْنَ (So what has happened to them that they are turning away from the Reminder... Al-Muddaththir 74:49 )

The word tadhkirah (Reminder), in this context, refers to the Holy Qur'an, because the word literally signifies a 'reminder or something that reminds'. The Qur'an is unique in reminding Allah's attributes of perfection, His mercy and wrath, and the reward and punishment. Towards the end, the Verse Al-Muddaththir 74:54 has explained that the 'Reminder' is the Holy Qur'an that is rejected by them. The allergy of the infidels against the Holy Qur'an has been mentioned in Verses Al-Muddaththir 74: 50 51 in the following words, فَرَّتْ مِنْ قَسْوَرَةٍ كَاَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنْفِرَةٌ "as if they were wild donkeys, fleeing from a lion?" The word qaswarah used in Verse Al-Muddaththir 74:51 has two meanings: 1 a 'lion'; and 2 an 'archer' or a 'hunter'. Both meanings have been reported from the noble Companions.
