    Para 23 | Juz 23 - Complete: Surah Al-Ya-Sin | As-Saffat | As-Sad | Az-Zumar (28-31)

    Surat Yasin Juz 23 begins with Surat Yasin, it’s an early Makkan Surah. The Prophet ﷺ called it “The Heart of the Quran”. Its central themes are proofs for the doctrines of Tawhid, Risalah and Akhirah. It opens by reassuring the Messenger ﷺ of the importance of his role in guiding humanity and laments the history of human disobedience. The chief reason identified for disbelief is arrogance reflected in human stubbornness. The story of three messengers, who were rejected by the people of their town, is told to warn the disbelievers. The brave supporter in the story, who stands up for the messengers, symbolises the small band of Muslims in Makkah, thereby reassuring them of Divine Help. The second section of the Surah describes Allah’s amazing creative power and invites the reader to reflect on creation: a marvel of incredible complexity and beauty. Attention is drawn to the lifeless earth and how it comes to life after rain, concluding that this is how Allah will bring the dead to life. . Surat As-Saffat – Arranged in Rows Juz 23 continues with Surat as-Saffat. Its central theme is also proving the truthfulness of the Islamic doctrines: Tawhid, Risalah, and Akhirah. It opens with three attention-grabbing oaths that describe the perennial heavenly battles between the angels and Satan comparing them with the earthly battles between the Prophets and their communities. Six stories of the Prophets describe their courageous efforts to guide humanity. The dream of Ibrahim and his willingness to sacrifice points to the inner battle between the love of children versus the love of Allah. Two scenes from Judgement Day are described: leaders and their followers at loggerheads, blaming each other for their dreadful fate. A pious person finds his friend in hell and reminds him of how he tried to misguide him, but failed in doing so. Zaqqum, the food of the people of Hell is a tree that resembles the desert cactus and has a poisonous sap with a foul smell which causes blisters and death. The Surah returns to the angels and how they are organized in Paradise Surat Saad Juz 23 continues with Surat Ṣaad, an early-Makkan Surah. It opens by describing the role of the Quran as a reminder, creating awareness and consciousness of a greater reality. This is developed by relating the stories of previous communities and the tireless efforts of the Prophets, starting with an account of the excellent qualities of Dawud and his son Sulayman. They were rulers and pious servants of Allah. The heartbreaking story of the suffering of Prophet Ayyub concludes the Surah. According to Tabari, Satan surmised that Ayyub would not remain faithful if he encountered difficulties. Allah allowed Satan to test him. So, disaster struck Ayyub: his house subsided, his livestock was killed, his family members died in an accident and he became ill with an infectious disease so that people abandoned him. Satan also attempted to shake Ayyub’s faith through his wife, when she put forward the idea that he must sacrifice a baby goat for Satan if he wanted to recover. Ayyub refused to do this. Surat al-Zumar – the Crowds Juz 23 continues with Surat al-Zumar. It reinforces belief in the Oneness of Allah and the dreadful consequences of denying Him. Professor Sells eloquently captures the mood of that early time, he says: What gives the early Makkan Suras their depth, psychological subtlety, texture and tone is the way the future is collapsed into the present; the way the day of reckoning is transferred from the fear and hope of a moment in the future to a sense of reckoning in the present moment. The centrality of the day of reckoning to the early revelations is based on a prophetic impulse to remind humanity of the moment of truth. Hosted on Acast.

    Para 22 | Juz 22 - Complete: Surah Al-Azhab | Al-Saba | Al-Fatir | Al-Ya-Sin (31-27)

    Surat al-Ahzab continued Background to the Battle of the Trench When the Prophet ﷺ heard about the Makkan plan, he called a war council to discuss the impending danger. Salman, the Persian, suggested digging a trench between the long stretches of fortress-like houses on the outskirts of the city, whilst in the northwest, there were high rocks that were difficult to cross. So, a trench five meters wide, five meters deep, and seven kilometres long was dug in three weeks. When the army of Confederates reached the outskirts of Madinah, they were baffled to see the trench. They camped outside the city near Uhud and laid siege. The only way to enter the city was if the Jews of Banu Qurayda were to attack from the inside. So, the Quraysh and the Jews of Banu Nadhir put together a strategy to win over Banu Qurayda and eventually a pact was agreed. But the plan went horribly wrong, and the confederates received no help from them. The siege was difficult to maintain, and the winter nights were long and bitterly cold. A violent sandstorm blew the tents. The camels and the horses of the Makkan forces ran wild. After three weeks, they fled. This Divine Intervention saved the Muslims. This was a testing time for the Muslims. It required wise and brave leadership and committed followers. A large part of the Surah deals with the personal life and wonderful character of the Prophet ﷺ, and his relationships with the disciples and his family. He is addressed on six occasions with the refrain “O Prophet!’ to bolster his morale, reassuring him of his unique position in Allah’s sight, and encouraging him to lead confidently. Surat al-Saba – the Kingdom of Saba Juz 22 continues with Surat al-Saba. The central theme is the evidence for the resurrection. The scenes of Judgement Day are described vividly as though they are unfolding before the reader’s eyes. Allah’s Glory and Power are emphasised as humanity will stand in the Divine court. Dawud and Sulayman were gifted by Allah. They were appreciative so, Allah rewarded them even more. By contrast, the people of Saba, who were blessed with a dam, dykes, fertile land and economic prosperity, were ungrateful. Thus inviting Divine retribution. The dam burst and the overwhelming flood destroyed everything in its wake. This devastated the agricultural land and that left them impoverished. Since the Makkans were familiar with this story the Quran doesn’t give too much detail. Surat al-Fatir; the Originator of The Universe Juz 22 continues with Surat al-Fatir. This is an early Makkan Surah. The central theme is Allah’s countless gifts: the wonders of His creation in nature are a manifestation of his Kindness. “People remember Allah’s gifts. Is there a Creator besides Allah who provides you from heaven and the Earth?” (3). Intelligent people can’t fail to see the created world as the handiwork of Allah. For them, Allah is everywhere, “Of all his servants, only the knowledgeable fear Allah. Allah is the Almighty, the Forgiver” (28). The Makkan people were stubborn in their denial of the Prophet ﷺ, so he is reassured, this is the wretched face of humanity: “If they deny you, don’t worry; those before them also denied the messengers who came with clear signs, books and enlightening revelation” (25). He is told to be patient and resilient since Allah gives respite and time for people to think again and again. The stubborn disbelievers are given a warning whilst He is the Kindest, He is an Avenger who takes exact retribution. “Were Allah to punish people for the wrong they did; He wouldn’t have left a single creature on the surface of the Earth” (45).

    Para 21 | Juz 21 - Complete: Surah Al-Ankabut | Ar-Rum | Al-Luqman | As-Sajdha | Al-Azhab (46-30)

    Surat al-Ankabut continued The Juz opens with two instructions; perform the prayer regularly and be polite. The prayer is a protector, “recite what is revealed to you from the Book and perform the prayer; indeed, the prayer protects from indecency and evil. Allah’s remembrance is greatest! Allah knows what you are doing. Do not argue with the People of the Book; be polite” (45–46). Surat al-Rum – The Romans Juz 21 then, continues with Surat al-Rum. This was revealed in the fifth year of the mission of the Prophet ﷺ, at a time when tensions between the Muslims and the Quraysh were problematic. The Surah opens with a remarkable prediction: “The Romans were defeated in a nearby country, but within a few years of their defeat they will be victorious.’ (2-4). In 615 CE, the Persians defeated the Romans. Their defeat made the Quraysh happy. They saw it as an omen that the Muslims who were closer to the Christians would be defeated too. The idea that the Romans would recover from this terrible defeat was not credible to the Quraysh. However, the Quran predicted otherwise and indeed the Quranic prediction was fulfilled on the same day as the Battle of Badr (624 CE). Surat Luqman – Luqman the Wise Surat Luqman is next in Juz 21. Luqman was a legendary sage, a black Nubian and a wise man from Southern Egypt. By narrating his polite and instructive teachings, the Quran is promoting diversity of cultures, races and languages. The Surah opens with a vivid description of the ‘devout Muslim’: he benefits from the teachings of the Quran; stays away from useless activities that distract from the worship of Allah. Sometimes the blessed Messenger ﷺ would teach the Quran sitting around the Kaaba, a Makkan storyteller, Nadhar ibn Harith, would also gather people around him to entertain them with Persian stories and dancers. The Quran condemned him. People enjoy Allah’s visible and invisible gifts so, “What have the idols created?” Surat al-Sajda – the Prostration Juz 21 continues with Surat al-Sajda. At a time when debates raged about three key beliefs of Islam. The Surah opens with a confident assertion that refutes the disbeliever’s objection that Muhammad ﷺ fabricated his message. The central theme is that Allah, the Supreme Ruler, the Absolute Governor and Commander, has full control. The disbelievers are warned of the punishment to be meted out, not only in the Hereafter but in this life. When they see Hellfire they will believe, but it will be too late then. On the other hand, the unimaginable delights awaiting the believers are highlighted to motivate people: “No one knows what blissful delights are hidden for them as a reward” (17). Finally, the Prophet ﷺ is likened to Musa both recipients of Divine Revelation. The Surah reminds us of the constant confrontation between truth and falsehood and compares the glorious Quran with life-giving rain; the latter gives life to dry, parched land. Similarly, the Quran gives life to dead hearts and the dry minds of the disbelievers. Surat al-Ahzab – the Confederates Juz 21 finishes with Surat al-Ahzab. This Surah was revealed in the fifth year of Hijrah (626 CE). After the indecisive Battle of Uhud, the Makkans wanted to defeat the Muslims, so in collaboration with the expelled Jews of Banu Nadhir, living in Khyber, they planned to attack Madinah. They gathered an army of 10,000 strong, consisting of many tribes, the confederates. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Para 20 | Juz 20 - Complete: Surah An-Naml | Al-Qasas | Al-Ankabut (56-45)

    Surah An-Naml Surah An-Naml, also known as Surah al-Naml, is chapter 27 of the Quran and is titled "The Ant". It is believed to have been revealed to address the role of the "Children of Israel" in Mecca, to highlight the piety of past prophets, and to distinguish the Qur'anic message from past traditions. The sura tells the stories of five prophets, Moses, David, Solomon, Salih, and Lot, and it gives good news to believers and warns polytheists. It also contrasts Allah's power to create and provide with the powerlessness of idols, and gives examples to pagans and warns of the horrors of the apocalypse. The sura's name comes from the story of Solomon understanding the conversations of ants.  Some say that reciting the triple suras that begin with Ta Seen (Surah Ash-Shu'ara, An-Naml, and Qasas) in the night before Friday will make one a friend of Allah.  Verse 62 of Surah An-Naml is believed to improve the love and affection between married couples, and to encourage mutual understanding, communication, and empathy. It is also considered effective in resolving conflicts and issues in marriages. Surah Al-Qasas Surah Al-Qasas, or "The Narratives", is chapter 28 of the Qur'an and has 88 verses in 9 sections. It is significant for a number of reasons, including: Removing doubtsThe surah's main theme is to remove doubts and objections about the prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad and to invalidate excuses for not believing in him.Promising victoryThe surah promises victory to believers who were a minority before migrating from Mecca to Medina and were facing difficult conditions during the Prophet's time.Telling the story of MosesThe surah tells the story of Moses from his birth until his victory over Pharaoh.Reciting rewardsAccording to a tradition of the holy Prophet, reciting Surah Al-Qasas will result in ten rewards, including an angel in the heavens and earth attesting to the reciter's rightfulness in the Hereafter Surah Al-Ankabut   Surah Al-Ankabut (The Spider) is the 29th chapter of the Quran and is significant for a number of reasons: It was revealed during a period of intense persecution of Muslims in Makkah, when Allah sent it to strengthen and encourage sincere Muslims, and to warn disbelieversIt addresses questions that young men faced when their parents urged them to abandon IslamIt discusses topics such as faith, a man's duty, divine trial, the history of some prophets, and relying on others besides AllahIt states that Nuh, Ibrahim, Lut, Shuaib, Hud, Saleh, Musa, and Muhammad were all prophets of God who endured hardshipsIt is named after the spider, whose web is strong in proportion to its weight, similar to how Allah used the spider to save the prophet when they were in a cave  Hosted on Acast.

    Para 19 | Juz 19 - Complete: Surah Al-Furqan | Ash-Shu'ara | An-Naml (21-52)

    Al-Furqan Surah Al-Furqan, the 25th chapter of the Qur'an, is significant because it is also known as Tabarak and means "separator of the truth from falsehood". The name refers to the Qur'an as the decisive factor between good and evil, and the surah addresses questions and doubts raised by disbelievers of Mecca. It discusses topics such as monotheism, resurrection, prophethood, and fighting idolatry. The final verses of the surah talk about the qualities of true believers.  The surah was revealed in Makkah during the third phase of Prophethood and has 77 verses divided into 6 Rukus/Sections. Some say that one of the benefits of reciting Surah Al-Furqan is that one will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment while having faith in the Day of Judgment and the resurrection of the dead from their graves. Ash-Shu'ara  Surah Ash-Shu'ara, or "The Poets", is chapter 26 of the Quran. It was revealed during the middle Makkan period and is named after the word "Ash-Shu`araa'" in verse 224. The chapter's background is that the non-believers of Makkah rejected the message of Islam and called the Prophet Muhammad a poet or sorcerer. The chapter discusses the mercy of God, various prophets and their tribes, and how the disbelievers were destroyed after threatening the prophets with death. It also includes cautionary tales of destroyed deniers, such as Pharaoh and the peoples of Noah, Shu'aib, Lot, and Ṣâliḥ.  Some say that reciting Surah Ash-Shu'ara at dawn is comparable to reciting all the heavenly books that have been revealed. Others say that frequent recitation of this Surah protects from thieves and from death by drowning or being burnt. Drinking water in which this Surah was dissolved is also said to protect one from all types of ailments. An-Nahl Surah An-Nahl, or "The Bee", is the 16th chapter of the Quran and is considered one of its greatest surahs. It has 128 verses and is named after honey bees, which are mentioned in verse 68. The chapter is believed to have been revealed in Mecca and compares the industry and adaptability of honey bees to that of humans. Surah An-Nahl is a source of guidance, reflection, and appreciation for the wonders of creation. It encourages believers to cultivate gratitude, patience, and awareness of the divine wisdom in creation. The chapter's main focus is highlighting divine blessings, such as rain, sunshine, plants, fruits, foods, and animals. This is intended to invite people to be thankful, contemplative, and submissive to divine commandments.  According to some quotations from the Prophet, reciting Surah An-Nahl will make one eligible to go to Paradise. The Prophet also said that Allah will not hold the reciter accountable for the blessings they have received in this world.
