On 12 Ramadan 1383 AH, just after his dawn lecture, a scholar was arrested and held for two years. He came out of detention carrying most of a 30-juz’ tafsir. The forty-seventh book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of Hamka — son of Maninjau, author of the novel Di Bawah Lindungan Ka‘bah, and of Tafsir al-Azhar. “Indeed, with hardship will be ease.”
“Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.”
