Summary


Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI


• Allah talks about those Christians who cannot control their tears when they listen to the Qur’anic recitation. 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 something which is against Shari’ah (like cutting off relations etc.), he/she is bound to break it and pay the aforementioned penalty.

• Verses 90 to 92 talk about gamble and alcohol. Allah says that Shaytan wants to use these to sow hatred among Muslims. After talking about the bad consequences of using/being involved in it, Allah strictly asks humans: “Will you abstain?” (…or not from these evil deeds?).

• The next topic deals with prohibition of hunting in the state of Ihram. However, one can hunt for fish in this condition.

• The importance of Kaba is mentioned.

• Allah talks of two of his qualities:

1. Firstly, he is the giver of extreme punishment.

2. Secondly, he is the most forgiving too.

One can thus make him/herself worthy of deserving any one of His qualities, as per good or bad deeds.

• Verse 99 talks about Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ responsibility, that is to deliver Allah’s message to the people, not to convince them.

• Verse 101 stopped people from asking unnecessary questions to Prophet Muhammed ﷺ.

• Quran then reminds us of the terrifying Day of Judgement, when everybody’s deeds will be accounted. Allah will assemble all the prophets and messengers and ask them: What response did you get from your respective people when you called them toward Islam? They all will submit and say: We have no (limited) knowledge about it, certainly our knowledge is equal to nothing in front of yours.

• Verse 116 & 117: Then Allah will talk to Jesus (Sayyiduna Isa alaihissalam), Reminds him of His Favors on him and his mother Sayyidah Mariam (alaiha assalam) and will Question him: “O Isa, the son of Maryam. Did you ask your people to take you and your mother as two gods besides Allah?” He (alaihissalam) will submit: “Glory be to You! I cannot say anything which I have no right to say. If I had said, You would certainly know. You Know what’s in my heart, but I don’t know that which is in Your Knowledge. 


I told them nothing other than what You asked me to say: “Worship Allah, Who is my Lord and yours.” I was vigilant as to their beliefs, but when you lifted me up then You Yourself kept a watch over their affairs, and You are a Witness over everything.”

• Then Allah says that Today is the Day when only the truthful will benefit. And Allah talks of the stations of the truthful people in the Heavens, where they’ll live forever.

• Surah An’aam: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (ra) states that this chapter was revealed in a single night in Makkah Mukarramah. (Source: Mujam Kabeer by Tabrani)

• The chapter begins with the mention of Allah’s Control over everything, He being the creator of the heavens and the earth, the darkness and light, created human beings from dust, lifespans and a fixed time for the Judgement Day.

• The polytheists of Makkah were demanding Prophet Muhammed ﷺ to show a miracle according to their wish. 

• Allah told Prophet Muhammed ﷺ that they will not accept Islam despite seeing a miracle, will rather call it sorcery. Then they will surely be eligible for torment.

• Allah talks further of the disbelievers: If an angels will descend toward them (to show Haq/truth), they will not be able to see them. If a physical book is reveled on them, they will not believe in it even after touching it, if someone comes to them in a human form, they’ll say he’s just a human like us.

• Allah mentions that they will straightaway deny their polytheistic activities when He the Exalted will Ask them about it on the Day of Judgement. 

• Allah says their hearts (eyes and ears) are veiled from the truth due to their bad deeds, and thus they do not heed to the Quran. They think the worldly life is the only one. They will then be placed on the verge of Hell and be asked: “Is this the truth or not?” (Meaning does Hell truly exist or not?”). Then they will have to bear its torment for their disbelief.

• The regret of the disbelievers on the doomsday is then mentioned.

• Allah motivates Prophet Muhammed ﷺ and says: “Do not be sad. They (the polytheists) are not denying you, rather they are denying Allah’s verses. If you stop reciting these verses (of Quran), they will once again start calling you Sadiq and Ameen (truthful and trustworthy). 

• Verse 46 talks about Allah’s blessings to the humans in the form of the 5 senses. 

• Allah then asked His prophet ﷺ not to turn his focus away from the poor people while in conversation with the arrogant and ungrateful leaders of Makkah.

• Verse 64 talks about different torments and their types.

• Verses 75 to 79 talk about Sayyiduna Ibraheem’s (alaihissalam) incidents while he was contemplating about the True God, and saw a star, the sun and the moon. But when all of them set at their respective times, Sayyiduna Ibraheem (alaihissalam) said they cannot be Gods, for there is no downfall to God. 

• Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.) reasoned with his people as to how can they call those aspects as gods which cannot save themselves from downfall?

• Then Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.) said those words which we all now say before starting salah/prayers: 

إِنِّى وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِىَ لِلَّذِى فَطَرَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ حَنِيفًۭا ۖ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ 

Translation: “I have indeed turned my face toward the One Who has created the heavens and the earth beyond compare, and I am not amongst the polytheists.” (Surah An’am, verse 79).

• Verse 94 talks of the hereafter again. On the doomsday, after assembling every human being, Allah reminds them that He assembled humans for the first time before sending them to the world, everyone’s soul was assembled, and He had Asked: “Am I not your Lord?” Everyone had said: “Yes, you are”. 

• Then the polytheists will be said: “None of your self-made gods will help you Today.”

• Allah then asks people to contemplate on the following to recognize Allah:

1. How a plant or a tree comes up from a single grain and/or a seed.

2. Turns a life into death, and a death back to life (example of an egg which comes lifeless from a hen, and comes to life after incubation).

3. The changes in the night and the day.

• Allah says that the sun and the moon are meant for the count of days, the stars for navigation etc.

• The end of this Juz recalls the mention of the Oneness of Allah, and the rejection of ascribing partners to Allah.

Rasoolullah's ﷺ Shoes and Leather Socks:

Rasoolullah (ﷺ) wore shoes like sandals or slippers. Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore black leather socks and during Wadhu passed his moist hanks over them (made Masah). His shoes had two straps between the toes (Uswah: Mirqaat). There was a strap at the back as well. The Shoes of Rasoolullah (ﷺ) were one span and two fingers long and 7 fingers wide; there was a space of two fingers between the two straps at the toe end (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ)used to wear shoes made of leather that was smooth after the removal of the animal hair, and after wadhu He would place his feet into them because they were pure and made in such a way that his toes would thouch the ground.

​⭕ ​Kufr wa Shirk ⭕

*​❧ Allah Ta’ala ki sifaat mein shirk:* ❧ Allah Ta'ala ki sifaat mein shirk ka matlab yeh hai ke jo sifaat Allah Ta'ala ke saath khaas hain, un ko kisi doosre ke liye maanna jaise Allah Ta'ala ke alaawa kisi ko rozi dene waala aur aulaad dene waala samajhna, kisi Nabi aur wali ke baare mein yeh aqeeda rakhna ke un ko khuda ki tarah gaib ki tamaam baaton ka ilm hai, Allah Ta'ala ki tarah kisi doosre ko ibaadat ka mustahiq samajhna aur us ke liye ibaadat ka koi fel karna jaise kisi qabr par ya kisi buzurg ke saamne sajda karna, kisi paigambar aur wali ke naam ka roza rakhna aur un ke naam par jaanwar zabah karna wagaira wagaira. ❧ Gunaahon mein kufr-o-shirk sab se bade gunah hain, kufr-o-shirk toba ke bagair hargiz maaf nahin hote, kufr-o-shirk ki haalat mein marne waala hamesha Jahannam mein rahega. ❧ Qur‘aan Majeed mein Allah Ta'ala ne shirk ke baare mein farmaaya: “Beshak Allah Ta'ala shirk ko maaf nahin karega aur is ke alaawa ji...

Why are our young generation being so impatient, why aint there mutual understanding in marriages these days:

 - An eye opener!  Recently in sunday's siasat newspaper someone gave an ad for second marriage as he lost his wife last year. Hundreds of proposals received in 2 days..But it was extremely shocking and sad that 99% proposals came from girls who took khula from their previous marriage and all of them were highly qualified girls..some being post graduates, mbbs, mtech, btech, Bed, Med etc. Not a single proposal came from from uneducated girls. Wonder as to why is this happening! Girls are taking khula within a year of marriage..Is this the impact of education? Is being highly educated making them ultimately incompatible for marriage. And marrying someone who is beneath them in terms of educational credentials leads to ego clashes...some of these girls were single after 7 years of khula, some since 5 years while others 3 years..Its extremely pathetic that this is happening in muslim society, why are our young generation being so impatient, why aint there mutual understanding in ...

The meaning of the word "Allah" (God):

 - **A young Spanish woman explains the meaning of the word "Allah" (God) **    *This young Spanish woman is currently studying a master's degree in Arabic at the University of Yarmouk, in Jordan.  One day, during a second-year class, professor Fakhry Kattaneh asked his students a question:*    **"Who of you can tell me about the divine name (Allah), from a miraculous and sonorous linguistic point of view?"**    *No one raised their hand except a young Spanish woman called Helen, who speaks fluent classical Arabic despite being Spanish and Christian.  She said:*    > "The most beautiful thing I have ever read in Arabic is the name 'Allah'. The way this name is pronounced in the human language has a unique melody, as its sounds come from the back of the throat, not the lips.    > The divine name is not pronounced with the lips, as it does not contain dots.  Now pronounce the name 'Allah' and understand how you do...

Have we ever thought about kind of friends and companions we have: Glance through this friendship test-

Does your friends have this qualities ; 4 QUALITIES OF A RIGHTEOUS FRIEND 1. When you see them, they remind you of Allah. 2. When you sit with them, it increases your Imaan. 3. When they speak to you, it increases your knowledge of deen. 4. When you see their actions, you remember the Akhirah. What does Quran say : “Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous” {Surat Az-Zukhruf, 43:67} What do pious people say ; ❝There is nothing that corrupts a person or rectifies him more than [his] companion.❞ - Sufyan al-Thawri رحمه الله ❝Companionship with good people leads to beneficial knowledge, virtuous manners and righteous deeds, whilst companionship with bad people prevents one from all of this.❞ - Imaam as-Sa’dee ( رحمه الله) “Bahjatul-Abraar” p. 226 ❝Have lots of belie...

All wealth belongs to Allah and human beings are only trustees to the wealth:

  From the   Islamic point of view, even though man can have private ownership rights to the wealth, however, Allah has clearly laid down the terms of trust. This is because, in Islam, all wealth belongs to Allah and human beings are only trustees to the wealth. On this point, Islam prescribes ways to carry out the trust so that a person has no right to use it to satisfy his whims. He has to observe the Divine commandments. If the violation is serious,  hence, his inability to use his wealth properly provides the basis for the forfeiture of his right to his wealth.  For those whom Allah has blessed with wealth, it is a test; and Muslims should strive to pass this test by not becoming worshipers of hoarded wealth.  Note: The above is taken from below Source.

And They Called it Women's Liberation:

Snippets : - The majority of women still work at the lower levels of the economic pyramid. Most are employed in clerical positions, factory work, retail sales, or service jobs. Around 50% of the workforce is female. While about 78% of all cashiers and 99% of all secretaries today are female, only 31% of managers and administrators are female. Equality in the workplace has been a mirage but it has conned millions of women into leaving their homes and destroying the family structure. - The move of women from home to the public workforce has been gradual. First poor women went. Then unmarried women. Then married women without children. Then married women without young children And then, all women.  - For money to be earned, people had to leave their homes. When women worked on the farm, it was always possible to combine work and family. When work for women moved outside the home, however, the only women who could follow it were those without family responsibilities or those who had...

Very few Muslim parents are in old age houses or abandoned by the children because of clear and strong religious instructions:

What practically bieng witnessed is that the parents who end up being in old age houses or at the mercy of others are mostly with one or two middle or lower middle class children. They chose small family earlier which later turned hostile for them at their old ages. More children ensures better options for the parents when they are old and in need. Generally when one son or daughter in law rejects parents due to any reason then other one comes to assist them. This sometimes due to responsibility towards parents but sometimes due to family rivalry. Very few Muslim parents are in old age houses or abandoned by the children because of clear and strong religious instructions for the children that they need to take care of their parents by all means, in one hand, and on the other hand, Muslim parents have more options to chose when they are old.
