16:99
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And when thou recitest the Qur’an, seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.
English - Five Volume Translation
And when thou recitest the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.[1899]
Commentary:
In v. 97 it was said that those who would remain steadfast under hard trials would be favoured with great rewards. The present verse tells believers that the best way by which they could guard heavenly boons is that they should seek the protection of God against the attacks of Satan. The reason why Muslims are bidden to seek the protection of God against Satan while beginning to recite the Quran is that it is a most precious treasure from which Satan tries to keep men away. Hence the necessity of seeking God’s protection against Satan while beginning the recitation of the Quran lest worldly gains and material comforts should make men oblivious of their great spiritual objectives.
