• 11th Juz continues to talk about those hypocrites who didn’t accompany Prophet Muhammed ﷺ in the Expedition of Tabuk. Allah says that they thought that the Muslims will lose the war and thus refrained from joining. But Allah kept the morale of the Islamic infantry high, as the Byzantines didn’t turn up at Tabuk at all for the combat.  

• Before Prophet Muhammed ﷺ returned to Madinah from Tabuk, Allah informed him that the hypocrites will give him lame excuses, and asked him ﷺ to tell the same to the hypocrites.

• Verse 98 of Surah Tawbah talked about two types of Arab nomadic villagers:

1. The ones who regarded money spending in the way of Allah as a compulsory fine, and looked forward to misfortunes befalling on Muslims.

2. Those who saw the money spending in Allah’s way as a means of attaining nearness to Allah, and earning the prophet’s ﷺ supplications for themselves.

• Allah then gave glad tidings to the Muhajireen (Sahaba who migrated from Makkah), Ansaar (Sahaba of Madinah who supported to Muhajireen), and the Tabaeen (those who followed the Muhajireen and Ansaar).

• Allah praised those who acknowledge their mistakes and try to perform good deeds. Allah definitely accepts their repentance.

• Next verse talks about those Muslims who did not take part in the Expedition of Tabuk despite having no excuse. They later realized their mistake and punished themselves even before the holy prophet’s ﷺ return from Tabuk. One of them tied themselves to a pillar. Later, they received glad tidings from prophet Muhammed ﷺ of them being forgiven by Allah. 

• Verse 107 talks about Masjid Dirar, constructed by hypocrites near Masjid Quba, to spread mischief. They had their undercover support of the Christians. They wanted invited Prophet Muhammed ﷺ for its inauguration, so that the structure becomes sacred in the eyes of the Muslims, but their main idea was to promote division among the ranks of Muslims. Allah informed Prophet Muhammed ﷺ about their evil intentions, so the noble prophet ﷺ his companions to destroy the structure.

• The above incident shows that superficial good deeds, if done with bad intentions are not acceptable in the Sacred Court of Allah.

• Allah praised the sincere and pious Muslims of Masjid Quba, and appreciated their apparent and hidden zeal for Islam.

• Next verse says that the Kalimah recitation is an agreement in which a slave of Allah surrenders his/her life and all the belongings. Allah in turn grants him/her great stations in the Heaven. If any person misuses the life and wealth given by Allah by disobeying Allah’s commands, it is a breach of agreement, and he/she is ought to be punished.

• It was during the Expedition of Tabuk that Prophet Muhammed ﷺ appealed for financial support. Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (ra) donated a 700 camel train of goods, Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (ra) donated half of everything he had – and was thus humbly optimistic that he had donated the most. But Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra) donated everything that he had in the Way of Allah. When asked by our beloved prophet ﷺ as to what he retained or left at home, he said: “I left Allah and His Messenger’s (ﷺ) love at home.” He had donated EVERYTHING he had for Islam at the prophet’s ﷺ appeal. 

• At the end of this chapter Allah talks about Prophet Muhammed ﷺ. He the Exalted says that the prophet ﷺ is a human which is a matter of pride for the entire humanity. He loves his Ummah intensely and is its biggest well-wisher. The smallest of the trouble on the Ummah is extremely troubling for him. 

• Surah Yunus: This chapter talks about Quran being wise, and the approach of the deniers of this Book of Allah who always wonder why it was revealed on a human being. 

• The chapter also says that the sending of the messenger of Allah ﷺ shouldn’t let people go into wonderment. In fact, Allah says, the messengers and prophets were sent from time to time to the people for guidance. 

• Then Allah is categorizing human beings:

1. Those who accept to the message of the prophets and the messengers – Heaven is their permanent abode.

2. Those who reject them – they will forever be in Hell.

• Verse 12 talks about those who denied the verse of the Quran.

• Next few verses explain that Allah does not haste to punish the disbelievers. 

• Verse 18 talks about those who the polytheists took as gods, who used to reason that their gods will request for their forgiveness in the Court of Allah. However, it is noteworthy that the polytheists consider these false gods as gods. However, Prophet Muhammed ﷺ and all the other prophets are the chosen slaves of Allah, and they will intercede for the sinners with the permission of Allah, inshaAllah.

• Verse 22 talks about the various blessings of Allah. In it, the Creator also says that the human calls Allah as a final resort if his ship is on the verge of destruction, but when saved, he continues to disobey Allah.

• The story of Sayyiduna Nuh (alaihissalam) is then briefly mentioned. Allah saved those who followed Sayyiduna Nuh (a.s.), and drowned his opponents in flood and wind.

• Then there’s a mention of Sayyiduna Musa and Sayyiduna Haroon (alaihuma assalam) being sent to Firawn, again. When Firawn was about to drown, he said that he wants to believe in the Lord of Musa, but it was too late and unacceptable to Allah. As per a hadith, Allah accepts the faith of a person before he/she slips into Sakrat al-Mawt. Sakrat is when a person dazes into death. 

• Then Allah said that He will preserve Firawn’s body so that it becomes a lesson for those who ponder.

• This chapter is named after Sayyiduna Yunus (alaihissalam). Out of the many rebellious nations, this nation of Sayyiduna Yunus (a.s.) was the only one which repented and saved itself from Allah’s punishment.

Slicing Through the Ego: The Internal Qurbani:

 - # Beyond the Sacrifice: What is Your "Ismail" This Eid ul Adha? 🌙 **Eid Mubarak!** 🌙 Every year, as the global Muslim community gathers to celebrate Eid ul Adha, our focus naturally turns to the tradition of *Qurbani* (sacrifice). We prepare the animals, distribute the meat, and share meals with family and neighbors. But if we pause and look past the physical rituals, a profound spiritual question emerges. **Eid ul Adha is not just about sacrificing an animal. It is about sacrificing whatever stands between you and Allah.** ## The True Essence of Qurbani: Trust Over Fear When Prophet Ibrahim (AS) left his wife, Hajara (AS), and their infant son in the barren desert of Makkah, he didn’t leave them in fear—he left them in absolute, unwavering trust of Allah. And years later, when he raised the knife above his beloved son, Ismail (AS), it wasn't an act of cruelty. It was the ultimate demonstration of submitting his will to the Divine. > **The realization:** The knife...

The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Farewell Sermon):

 - The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Farewell Sermon) Prophet Muhammad ﷺ delivered His ﷺ last sermon (Khutbah) on the ninth of Dhul Hijjah (12th and last month of the Islamic year), 10 years after Hijrah (migration from Makkah to Madinah) in the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat.

Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY. O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners.

Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone:

 - Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone. - Taqwa, when it matures in the crucible of trial, is the precise and correct ordering of the loves within a heart. It is the absolute knowledge of which love sits upon the throne, and which loves, however deep, however true, however entirely lawful, must bow beneath it.  - Tawakkul is the heart’s genuine reliance upon Allaah as the sole ultimate cause of all things, combined with the employment of every legitimate means. Islam teaches freedom from servitude to causes without teaching contempt for them. It is the settled condition of a heart that has understood that creation possesses only delegated force. What burns burns because it is permitted to burn; what heals heals because it is permitted to heal. No thing in creation holds or withholds what belongs solely to the Creator. - Hasbunallaahu wa ni’mal Wakeel. Allaah is sufficient for...

This was especially in context to Najashi Ash’amah, the Christian King of Habsha who had accepted Islam. • From Verses 87 of Surah Maidah the topics like Halal & Haram and extremism are discussed. • Islam is a religion of balance. It neither calls for abstention of permissible items (for drinking, eating, wearing etc.) as piety, nor does it abolish the distinction between Halal & Haram. • Verse 89 talks about oaths (qasm/aqd). The penalty of breaking the oath is to either feed 10 poor and needy, twice, with an average food of his/her usual intake (cost wise), or to clothe them, or to free a slave. If someone cannot do it, he/she should fast on three days. Allah also advices to be true on oaths to be safe from getting penalized. • If a person takes an oath of...

Don’t fall into being from those who are unjust and falsely assume:

He says that a human goes away from Him when He blesses him, but prays at length when any trouble reaches him. And when Allah eradicates his trouble, the human then boasts it and credits it to his mastery and starts denying the establishment of Doomsday. And even if he believes in its establishment, he wishfully thinks to possess Allah’s blessings there too.  • The chapter ends with the declaration of the truthfulness of the Holy Quran • Surah Shura: Sura means advice or consultation.  • This chapter says that the people of Allah settle their important matters and issues by seeking advice and consultations.  • Th...
