Living With The Quran

10 Day Quran Course with Mufti Hassan Raza
=====================================================
1. SURAH AL-FATIHA [The Opening]
Surah
Themes
Revealed in Makkah, a prayer
Reliance on Allah - Daily reminder to go back to Him
Blessings on Muslims
Allahs attributes
o The Only Lord, The Entirely Compassionate, The King, The One that we worship,
The One that we ask for help
We learn about the shortest path to our goal
We learn who has gone astray (Jews and Christians) - Ayah 7
CONTENT
KEYWORDS
o Al-Fatiha is nicknamed Umm Ul Quran Mother of the Qur'an and
o 'Al-Qur'an al-Adhim', the Great Qur'an as it encompasses the meaning of the entire
Qur'an.
Al-Fatiha means The Opening. It is the introduction to the Qur'an, the contents page and
key to unlocking the Qur'an.
It is the Surah we recite often in our daily prayers and is a Duà a personal prayer to
Allah. Sometimes likened to the Christian Lord's prayer.
LESSON: It has been placed at the very beginning of the book to teach the reader: if you
sincerely want to benefit from the Qur'an, you should offer this prayer to the Lord of the
Universe.
#Hadith: The Messenger of Allah salallahu àlayhi was-salam said,
"Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, said, 'I have divided the prayer between Myself and my servant
equally and My servant shall be granted what he asked for.'
Therefore when the servant says, 'all praises and thanks are due to Allah, the Lord of the universe',
Allah says, 'My servant has praised Me.'
When he says,'the Entirely Compassionate, the Especially Merciful,'Allah says, 'My servant has
praised Me.'
When he says, 'Master of the Day of Judgement,' Allah says, 'My servant has glorified Me.'
When he says, 'You Alone we worship and Your aid Alone do we seek,' Allah says, 'this is between
Me and My servant and My servant shall have what he requested.'
When he says, 'guide us to the Straight Path, the Path of those whom You have favoured, not of
those who have incurred [Your] wrath, neither of those who have gone astray,'
Allah says, 'this is for My servant and My servant shall have what he asked for.' (Imam Muslim}
Allah swt responds to every line of the Surah.

The first word is 'Alhamdulillah', all praise and thanks belongs to Allah alone --> Everything
else is Tafseer of this word
We read this every day to remind us about our life. To ask Allah to remain on the pure
path. Believers are already guided, but we need to stay steadfast as Shaytaan leads us

astray.
Ayah 2: He is All-Merciful and has bestowed countless of bounties on His creatures (Islam
and guidance), but at the same time He is the supreme Justice and everybody will have to
answer Him on the Day of Judgement for his worldly deeds.
Ayah 4: He alone is worthy of worship and He alone is to be asked for help because He is
the Cherisher and the Master of everything in the universe.
Ayah 5: We ask Allah to include us by association to the Awliya, Anbiya and true believers,
who followed the straight path of Islam before us and were blessed immensely because of
this
o The people who received 'Ne`ma' (An-Àmta) were given revelations, provisions to
survive, miraculous signs of Allah, they were were given reputation, fellowship, and
most incredibly - the love of Allah and an entry ticket to Jannah
o Today, some folks believe these blessings are the technological advancements of
the 21st century or science - I'm afraid this is not the same as the An-Àmta
àlayhim [blessings of those whom Allah favoured over everyone else]
o When believers implore for the straight path, He always showers blessings on them
and protects them from going astray.
Ayah 7: Ghair-il Maghdubi àlayhim
o We ask Allah to protect us from the long rebellious history of the Banu Israel aka
Jewish communities that followed Prophet Moses àlayhis-salam (peace be upon
him), and after all their dramas earned Allah's anger
o Walad-daaleen
o And we ask Allah to keep us on the straight and narrow so we don't become
deviated or branch off into our own ideas as Christians did, for truly, their
contemporary beliefs are 'daleel' - lost.
Supplication is the core of worship and the blessed Qur'an encourages the believers for
petitioning,
And your Lord said: Invoke Me, I will respond to your supplication (Qur'an, 40:60).

2. SURAH AL-BAQARAH [The Cow]

Surah
Themes
Better than Yellow pages, Ultimate Guidance
Types of people and types of hearts. Where do you fit?
Prophets stories: Prophet Musa
o Jews
Rulings Ahkaam
o Hajj, Fasting, Marriage & Divorce, Money ! Interest, Good Business, Charity
Fasting (Sawm)
Virtues of Surah Baqarah
Countless Barakah and virtues of this Surah; some are the protection from Shaytaan and devils.
#AHADITH on Surah Baqarah:
Verily, Shaytan does not enter the house where Surat Al-Baqarah is recited. (AtTirmidhi)
Rasool-Allah àlayhis-salam said,
Everything has a hump (or, high peek), and Al-Baqarah is the high peek of the Qur'an.
Whoever recites Al-Baqarah at night in his house, then Shaytan will not enter that house for
three nights. Whoever recites it during a day in his house, then Shaytan will not enter that
house for three days.)
- This Hadith was collected by Abu Al-Qasim At-Tabarani, Abu Hatim Ibn Hibban in his Sahih and
Ibn Marduwyah.
Rasool Allah s. said:
Learn Surat Al-Baqarah, because in learning it there is blessing, in ignoring it there is

sorrow, and the sorceresses cannot memorize it. (He paused) Learn Surat Al-Baqarah and Al
Ìmran because they are two lights and they shade their people on the Day of Resurrection, just
as two clouds, two spaces of shade or two lines of (flying) birds.
The Qur'an will meet its companion in the shape of a pale-faced man on the Day of Resurrection
when his grave is opened. The Qur'an will ask him, 'Do you know me' The man will say, 'I do not
know you.' The Qur'an will say, 'I am your companion, the Qur'an, which has brought you thirst
during the heat and made you stay up during the night. Every merchant has his certain trade.
But, this Day, you are behind all types of trade.' Kingship will then be given to him in his right
hand, eternal life in his left hand and the crown of grace will be placed on his head.
His parents will also be granted two garments that the people of this life could never afford. They
will say, 'Why were we granted these garments?' It will be said, 'Because your son was carrying
the Qur'an.' It will be said (to the reader of the Qur'an), 'Read and ascend through the levels of
Paradise.' He will go on ascending as long as he recites, whether reciting slowly or quickly.)''

SECTION 1: Ayaat 1 20
These introductory verses declare the Quran to be the Book of Guidance.

Though it is a Madani Surah, it follows the Makki Surah Al- Fatihah quite naturally, which
ended with the prayer: "Show us the straight way."
Surah Baqarah is the answer to that prayer, "This is the Book (that)...is guidance..." (2:1)
Some scholars stated that this Ayah - 2:2 - contains a prohibition meaning, "Do not doubt the
Qur'an.''
Command: Enunciate the articles of the Faith!
Belief in Allah, Prophet hood and Life-after-death;
#JDay Mankind will be divided into three main groups with regards to its acceptance or
rejection.
1. Believers,
The Believers are devout, devoted Muslims and accept the guidance.
2. Disbelievers
The disbelievers didnt accept the message of Islam
3. Hypocrites
The last group are confused and are described as foolish. They are in two minds;
when the Deen is easy and is of worldly benefit to them they partake in it and say We
are Muslims. Yet they are liars because when difficulty faces them they do not accept
Deen. They join for credit only. They think they are deceiving Allah, but they only
deceive themselves and waste time. They look down on the hard work of believers.
LESSON: DO NOT BE LIKE THESE PEOPLE! Work Hard! And be sincere in your Deen.
Mufti Saab gave the example of the student who wastes his own time by not studying hard, the
teacher doesnt lose out at all but the student does.
SECTION 2 +3: Ayaat 21-29

Ayah 21: Allah invites mankind to accept the Guidance voluntarily and to submit to Him, the Lord
and the Creator of the Universe and to believe in the Quran, His Guidance, and in the Life-afterdeath.
Allah mentions the bounties, and explains the nature of humans. How we are always wanting more.
CHALLENGE Allah also challenges people to produce a Surah similar to the Quran (for those who do
not accept).
In #Heaven, people will be given everything yet will complain about having the same fruit over and
over again. Human nature is to not be satisfied. They angels will say taste it i.e. the fruit, and
despite being the same shape and size the fruit will have a different flavour every time!
Allah also gives the example of mosquito; He swt can give the example of any creation as he is the
creator of the elephant and the mosquito.
The Kuffar exclaimed Why would Allah give the example of a mosquito? Allah created all things for
us.
(2:27) He created youall that is in Earth. Allah created YOU to recognize Him. You (the Muslim
servant) are for Me (Allah. These are all signs for us.
SECTION 4: Ayaat 31-39
The story of Adam àlayhis-salam is introduced and the story of creation.
LESSON: To repent. Allah always accepts our Tawbah. REPENT OFTEN!

Allah swt begins talking to the Jews, Bani Israeel. They were given a high rank on the earth, and it
was taken away from them.
LESSON: Dont be the ones who deny. Dont claim that something is good, but deny it.
Dont say such and such is for Allah and Deen, but you have a worldly benefit in it. Have a sincere
heart in all actions.
Many Muslims know the truth but deny it. We all clearly know the falsehood and should stay away
from it. Dont be a hypocrite. PRACTISE WHAT YOU PREACH! #PracticeWhatYouPost
Story of Prophet Musa àlayhiss-alam

SEERAH: In Medina the Jews were giving Rasool-Allah àlayhis-salama hard time.
o So Allah is reminding them of the favour he did upon them.
o How He helped them cross the sea safely.
o Yet they worshipped the calf.
o The repentance for them was death.
o Allah is explaining how the Muslims repentance is easier.
o Allah says even one teardrop counts as repentance.
LESSON: Be GRATEFUL! And repent as it is so easy!

Allah talks about peoples cruelty. These peoples dont care who is pious or not. These kind of
people killed prophets.
Allah swt provided 7 separate rivers for each group of people.

But yet they were still ungrateful.
=============================================================
-JEWISH PEOPLE=============================================================
Again Allah mentions different groups of people. Referring back to the Jews , The Sabbath is
mentioned- a day dedicated to worship. But the Jews did not.
The Jews questioned A LOT about the cow. What sort of cow they must sacrifice, the colour etc.
Jews denied #ECO Blessings: O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call
upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and
its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better
for what is less?... (ayah 61)
They habitually broke Allahs rules and did worldly matters despite being told not to.
They killed prophets
So Allah punished them by changing them into monkeys and apes. They were covered with
humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allah
LESSON: Dont question too much. Accept what Allah and his prophet say. Accept what your
teachers say.

SECTION 9: 72-80 STORY OF THE COW
The story of Banu Israeel ends in the second Ruku.

Allah mentions the slaughtering of the cow and a murder.
The Cow was chosen as it was a special cow belonging to a boy who was poor. The Cow
sold for a lot of money and the boy became rich. The cow was slaughtered. Jews
killed a man, and claimed some others killed him to get compensation. Yet Allah knew
they were lying. So when the cow died, its tongue touched the dead man, and
miraculously the man became alive. The man explained the truth.
(2:74) Allah swt described the hearts of people. Some are so hard, harder than stone. For even
stones and rocks break and water gushes forth from them. How can someones heart be THAT
HARD?
LESSON: Have a soft heart! Muslims hearts should be soft. Speak the truth. Always sacrifice
Dunya for deen and not the other way round. Weve made a promise to Allah, dont break this
promise.
The Jews would write their own scriptures and change the pure words of Allah. They assumed
their punishment would be small, but in reality their torment will be great for these lies and
corruption. You earn your Hell, or you earn you Jannah.
(2:81-83) Allah is guiding the Jews and us to worship Him alone, to be good to parents,
orphans, to speak good and give charity and pray. But most people do not do this. They ignore
the guidance and pick and chose. We do this in our life also. We pick and chose Islam. They
even committed bloodshed, despite promising not to. Their punishment is severe.
Allah reminds the Jews of previous prophets he sent: Musa, Isa and Muhammad àlayhum
salam.
o And Allah is questioning why they do not listen? What is wrong with you!? Jews replied
saying nothing reaches our hearts as they are covered. (Arrogance/being stuck up).
o Allah reminds them again, why are you denying the truth that has come to you through
Rasool-Allah saw? You cannot claim piety is you are not pious, if you are so pious why did you
kill prophets?
Why did you worship the calf? Allah says if you (the Jews) are so pious ask for death, but they long
for a long life, as they know punishment is waiting for them:
you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life (ayah 96)
We learn Jews love this life more than Mushriks.
Another claim human beings make: I dont want to go there because such and such a person is
there. The Jews said we do not accept the Quran because Angel Jibraeel is bringing it. Allah says
whoever is an enemy of Jibraeel or the Prophets will be punished. And Allah will be YOUR enemy!
Very serious! They broke the covenant and rejected their book.
LESSON: Dont throw the Quran behind you. Dont ignore it or reject the messages revealed.
This is what the Jews did.
Rather they listened to the Devils. And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited
during the reign of Solomon.
When corruption begins they begin doing evil things like magic. But Allah is most powerful. These
people are doing these things for a small profit, they sell their faith but will face punishment.

(2:103) And if they had believed and feared Allah, then the reward from Allah would have
been [far] better, if they only knew.

Allah is questioning the Jews saying select your words before you speak! Especially in front of
prophets. The corrupt mentality is explained here. Some people despite being good will mock the
prophets and try their hardest to bring you back to disbelief. In the end Jews and Christians
believer only they will enter Heaven. The Muslim claims this also.
No one will enter Jannah if they desire Dunya. Its only through Allahs mercy we get into Heaven.
Corrupt mentalities stay the same, even centuries ago the bad guys existed. They will try to cause
corruption on earth.
LESSON: "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance."- Message for the Muslims and
the Jews. The Quran is the PROPER guidance, anything else will lead you astray.
#JDAY Ayah 123: Fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all, and no
compensation will be accepted from it, nor will any intercession benefit it, nor will they be
aided.
Ayah 124-128: Ibrahim as was tested by Allah and completed the task. Allah made him the leader of
the people. And those who follow him (children). Allah rewards the hardwork in tests.
DUÀ FOR PROPHET MUHAMMAD s. Ayah 129: The Dua of Ibrahim: Was that Rasool àlayhissalamwould became a leader of the people.
#HADITH: I (Muhammad s.) am the Duà of Ibrahim as. and Isaa gave glad tidings to me...
Section 16: ayaat 130-141
Whoever turns away from Ibrahims as. Deen is foolish.

o Ayah 135 & Ayah 140: The people would argue saying he was a Christian, or a Jew.
Ibrahim as. is a Muslim! He is a leader in this Dunya and he will be a leader in the
Akhirah also. Ibrahim as. passed the same Deen onto his children. Allah is giving
condolences to Rasool àlayhis-salamthat if the people do not listen it is not the
Rasools fault. Each indiviDuàl is responsible for himself.
The Prophet s. will not be questioned about who accepted and who did not accept. It is our own
duty. The Prophet is only a messenger. Dont blame others, those who follow the book properly
they are the true believers. Those who dont are losers.
Ayaat 142-150
2: 142. The fools (idolaters, hypocrites, and Jews) will say to the Muslims, why have you turned
your faces away from the Qibla in Jersulem to the Kabah?
NEW NEW NEW QIBLAH! Ayah 144 & 149 & 150: Rasool-Allah sw. hoped Masjid Al-Haram would
become the qibla, and it did as Allah revealed to tell Muslims to face towards the Ka`bah,
wherever they are on earth.
o Rasool-Allah turned whilst praying in Medina, to distinguish the Muslims Qibla from the
Jews. Its not the same. We worship the same place Adam, Ibrahim etc worship. We
are ordered to face the Haram Shareef in Makkah wherever we are to pray Salaah.
(2:150)

LESSON: Also where ever you face there is Allahs mercy. It is not just about facing the Qibla. Allah
swts Rahma is everywhere.
Ayaat 150-157
FADH KAROONI, ADH-KAR KUM!

Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying). I will remember you, and be grateful
to Me (for My countless favors on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.). (2:152)
Ayah 154: The Martyrs are alive, refer to them as living.
Ayah 155: Allah swt says he WILL test us, with: Fear, Hunger, Loss of wealth and food and lives= so
what should the believer do? Be patient Bashiris-Saabireen (2:155). Blessings (salawat) are on
those people.
LESSON: Accept that YES you will be tested, but be patient and you will receive Allahs barakah
on you. Always remember Allah in good and bad.
Guidance for when in difficult times: Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly, to Allah
we belong and truly, to Him we shall return. (2:156)
Ayaat 158-1
TAFSEER: Ash-Sha`bi said, "Isaf (an idol) was on As-Safa while Na'ilah (an idol) was on AlMarwah, and they used to touch (or kiss) them. After Islam came, they were hesitant about
performing Tawaf between them. Thereafter, the Ayah (2:158) was revealed.'' TO SAY
PERFORMING SAÈE IS OKAY symbols of Allah no blame for walking between them
These Ayaat (2:159-163) sternly warn against those who hide the clear signs that the Messengers
were sent with which guide to the correct path and beneficial guidance for the hearts, after Allah
has made such aspects clear for His servants through the Books that He revealed to His
Messengers. Hiding knowledge or truth is a major sin.
Ayah 160: Allah accepts repentance. Always. Unconditionally. He is At-Tawwabur-Raheem
SIGNS (2:164-65) Clear signs of Tawheed for people with Àql. La ayaatil-liqawmiyya`qiloon
o Heaven & Earth
o Night & Day
o Ships which sail benefitting sea (think fishing)
o Rain, which gives life
o Every species of creature/organisms
o Winds that are controlled and send info underneath the clouds
(2:166-173) Shaytaan is a clear enemy, and the guidance is clear.

o Despite all these evidences how can people still do Shirk? Allah describes them as
deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand..
o 172-173: The Halal foods are also mentioned as Shaytaan tried to misguide the people in
thinking a certain camels milk was haraam.
Allah also reminds the people not to follow forefathers (this was their custom).
MUHAMMAD s. IN TORAH (2:174) Verily, those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book.
Meaning the Jews who concealed their Book's descriptions of Muhammad

Then Allah reminds us of the torment of the next life, and how what we assume is a small bad
deed but actually it is a terrible thing in reality. Think!
Ayah 177: What is Birr? Righteousness is believing in Allah and the Arkaan ul-Imaan aka
Imaane Mufassil aka The 6 Articles Of Faith
o AND Birr is giving up wealth despite loving it
To relatives orphans needy people travellers those who ask to free slaves
o AND Birr is in those who pray consistently not part-time
o AND Birr is in those who give Zakat properly
o AND Birr is in those who keep their promises
o AND Birr is in those who keep patient when they lose their job/poverty
o AND Birr is when they have a type of battle
LESSON: These are actions that define piety. If we do these, we will be righteous too and
become people of Birr.

to Him you will be returned.
But those who were certain that they would meet Allah said, "How many a small
company has overcome a large company by permission of Allah. And Allah is
with the patient."

THE DUÀ (2:286) Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It
will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence
of] what [evil] it has earned.
This means, Allah does not ask a soul what is beyond its ability. This only demonstrates Allah's
kindness, compassion and generosity towards His creation. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
"Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay
not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us.
(The Jews and Christians)
Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And
pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so
give us victory over the disbelieving people."
You sent Your Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet of mercy, to abrogate these burdens through the
Law that You revealed to him, the Hanif (Islamic Monotheism), easy religion.''
ALLAHS REPLY #HADITH Imam Muslim recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah
said that Allah said, "I shall (accept your supplication).''

supplication).'' (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up
sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the
enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah has with Him the best return. (3:14)
Gardens + Allahs approval
HEAVEN: Ayah 15 something better than this ?

130-143
Interest is mentioned, its gain is completely forbidden

Whoever seeks forgives Allah will forgive them. Paradise is huge and is prepared for the
pious. Those who give charity in bad and good times, and control anger and forgive, Allah
loves those people.
If they make a mistake or sinned, and remember Allah and ask for forgiveness, Allah
forgives them. Allah says dont commit it and dont be strict with that life style. Come
back to Allah. Huge forgiveness for coming back. If you repent
Allah says to Muslims, not to be lazy or grievous. Work hard, and you will be successful.
Battle of Uhud is mentioned; the Muslims were defeated, Allah says if you are injured or in
tragedy, that others have also faced tragedy. Some days are good and some are bad. Allah
tests humans for their efforts. Dont be too sad. Days change, and differ.
Ayaat: 144- 148
(3: 147) This ayaat is a Duàa

Some people thought the prophet passed in Uhud. In this Ayaat Allah speaks of Rasool as a
messenger like messengers before. This does not mean his mission finishes after his
passing. Its your (Muslims) duty to carry his mission forward.
No one dies except for the appointed time appointed by Allah. Whoever works for this
Dunya will not receive it. Work only for the hereafter.
Many people were martyred in the battle, Allah tells Muslims to look in history and see
they still worked hard despite tragedies. They didnt show weakness, they werent
oppressed. Allah loves the patient, esp. in difficult times. This is success- Sabr (patience
in all times).
Allah rewards them with the best reward in the hereafter.
Ayaat: 149-155
Each ayaat has a deep explanation. The Uhud battle is explained here. Those archers who
were supposed to remain on the mountain as instructed by the Prophet. They thought they
had won and left their place, through heedlessness. The enemies attacked from behind.
Muslims became puzzled, as they thought they had received victory.
The hypocrites took the opportunity to insult them, and said you should have listened to
our advice and you wouldnt have been killed. Allah says death is at its appointed time,
even if you are in your homes you would have had your soul taken, It was their time to die.
LESSON: Always obey the Rasool and always listen to him. You cannot succeed
without listening to Him.
That is true victory and success.
Ayaat: 156-171
Trusting Allah swt. Having complete Tawakul.

Allah SWT is giving guidelines for the ones in battle. Describing Rasool- as having a soft
heart, if you have a hard heart as a preacher/scholar no one will listen to the words. Have
good manners and be easy to approach for the people. So people can come to you easily.
Forgive them and ask for forgiveness. Counsel them.

Why does Allah say Prophet Muhammad to ask forgiveness for them?
Sins will not remove or leave a person until he asks his teacher or mentor to ask for
forgiveness. The messenger asks forgiveness for them as well.
LESSON: Say sorry to your teachers!! The sin will be removed with the Duà of
your teacher also.
Get guidance from your teacher, it will easier for you to leave your bad habit.
Having counsel- discussing, helps. Whatever is decided, should be done with trust. Then
TRUST Allah and leave it with him.
Rulings during Battles are then mentioned
Not to steal the booty- On judgment day it will be asked for him
Muslims favours from Allah (3:164)
(3:165)- Not showing patience. Look at others who are patient in times of tragedy. Show
patience in both situations. Dont blag it either! Dont lie and say you are going through
hardship. Allah knows what is in the hearts!
Martyrs are alive, they are provided for and given nourishment. They enjoy their life, they
are receiving the best reward. Allah doesnt waste believers rewards.
Ayaat: 172-180
At Uhud there was a rumour, the non believers that they are attacking medina, Allah told
his rasool and he was ready again for the battle. when THE people told them that there is
abig army, and a severe attack upon you. They tried to scare the muslim, but true muslims
were not scared. Their (unbelievers) tactics did not work, but instead their imaan
increased. The believers said Allah is sufficient for us and he is the best supporter and
helper. Dont worry about us, we will answer them if they some.
Allah says this is Satans tactic to try and not to fear the people. Fear Allah!
Khowf- fear Allah and you will not be harmed.
Kafir means disobedient people, Muslims who are disobedient will not enter heaven.
Alama Iqbal said everything will come with practise, things will not come to him, he will
be rewarded according to his actions in this world. You dont just get heaven.
For the Kafir is a terrible punishment.
179) Muslims- dont think you wont be tested. You will be tested. It separates the true
believers from the other people. YOU WILL BE TESTED!
Section 19: Ayaat 181-189
Some people said Allah needs things, and we are rich. We are in need not Allah. Allah does
need money or anything. (disbelievers)
These people killed prophets. They will have hell fire. The people wanted a sign first
before believing the prophet. Allah says they did have clear signs!
We will be tested by Health Wealth
Dont think of those who are very happy. What is the human nature? He wants
appreciation.he wants people to say such and such did such a good thing. Allah talks
about these people who think they did such a good thing, who seek praise, despite not
doing something. These people will have punishment, as they made a false claim. Allahs
power is everywhere, it is his kingdom

Ayaat 190- 200
(3:192-194) This is a Duà

Allah describes the good believers- who see benefit in everything. They glorify Allah and
make Duà.
Last Duà- their Duà is accepted! Allah replied that the Duàs are accepted, their
actions are not wasted. They receive the best reward. 196-197 This dunya is not for
enjoyment. The reward is mentioned for those who do good works, Allah swt will be the
host for the believers.
Dont sell out your Deen/verses of Quran for a small price in Dunya. Dont use Allahs
name for worldly benefit. Be patient, more patient than others.

4. SURAH AN-NISA [The Women]

Surah Themes

Jihad; Hijrah
Prophets: Musa, Isaa, revelations
Rights & Responsibilities (Huquq)
o For orphans & women & marriage & inheritance & family law
In this section, the first 1 Ayah is read in Nikah ceremonies.
Allah speaks of the creation of humans. Why is this Ayaat selected in the supplication of
Nikah? As no one has superiority over another, expect for Taqwa. All men are equal.
Orphans are also mentioned- not to deal with them unjustly. Do not take their wealth.
AHKAAM: Ayah 4. Rules on marriage are mentioned and dowry.
We are told to leave things for needy children. Consuming wealth of orphans is like
consuming hell fire.
AHKAAM Ayaat 7 & 11 - Detailed Inheritance laws: How it is divided for parents, spouses,
children son/daughter, relatives- orphans, the needy- give them the left over
inheritance.

2. Do not remind the person of their evil action.
Ayah 17: Tawbah is from Allah and Allah accepts it.

if you were to die in that state?
2. Repentance is not for those. Its too late on your death bed! What if death comes
suddenly? Every movement is a mercy from Allah, so be on the right path with good
people always have a good intention.
Allah is reminding us of reality and death and then speaks about dealing with women. And
not to treat them badly. Dont take money of your women (Mahr) it belongs to them.
Live with women gently, even if you dislike them, there may be something good in her.
She may be a very pious woman, she may have abundant goodness- you dont know!
AHKAAM Ayah 19-22: Not to marry your mothers, step mothers.
1. Pre-Islamic arabs would marry step mothers and inherit them. As their father
would die, they would take the step-mothers as wives. Qurans message is to
disregard the evil past ways.
AHKAAM Ayah 23-24: Whom men can marry and cant is explained.
1. Mahram: forbidden women for men: Mothers, daughters, aunties (both sides)
Ayah 25: Purpose of marriage: to save your chastity and be pious and to look after each
other. A big responsibility on two people. Allah said this should be your aim, not a
fulfilment of desires.
//At this time we do not have slave girls, back then they were allowed to marry them
after giving them their Mahr.

Section 5 Ayaat 26-33
Ayah 28: Mankind was created weak Allah makes difficulties easier
(4:29) Those who eat other peoples property lose their respect and lose value in society.
Its as though he Is killing himself and is dead. Everyone wants to escape from him. No one
cares about him as he is corrupt.
Ayah 31: Allah swt says whoever follows his desires is far from the right path. Keep
yourself away, dont commit major sins, he will remove the smaller bad deeds.
Ayah 32: Dont be jealous of others for their success/wealth. Its all a test and Allah gives
however He wills. There are equal rights in terms of earning wealth- male and female.
Rights are for both. Whatever is left should go to whoever is eligible with inheritance.
Allah is the witness.
Section 6 Ayaat 34- 42
4:34: THE VERSE OF MARRIAGE PROBLEMS1. Men have a right in running the household in making decisions after discussing with
his wife.
2. Men are Qawwam because they have to sacrifice more to look after wives.

from her (from bed), if she is still disobedient then hit her hand with a miswak.
4. Wrong translation: Lightly hit her
5. Mufti feels that Wadriboona means explain to her.
Daraba: does it mean explaining or beating? Dont make excuses to blame women!
LESSON for men: Try to resolve the situation, to re-unite the two. Get other people
involved.
Ayah 36 Do good to the following, no matter what. Allah doesnt like those who are proud
and disregard others feelings.
1. Parents
2. Relatives
3. Orphans
4. Needy
5. Neighbours
6. Travellers you travel with
7. Male and female servants
Ayah 38: Shaytaan is your companion when you do evil and show off.
#HADITH The Prophet s. asked Abdullah Ibn Masood to recite. Ibn Masood said but the
Quran was revealed to him Rasool-Allah s. said I like listening to the Quran from other
people. Ibn Masood recited Sura Nisa, when he reached this Ayaat 41:
So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O
Muhammad] against these [people] as a witness?
1. Rasool saw. said his heart was in pieces, as he will be brought forward as a witness
against the people. Rasool said how can I do this?
He can be a witness FOR or AGAINST you. Two groups of people on #JDAY: (1) Rasool will
be witness for those who disbelieved the Rasool. And those who believed. Nothing is
hidden.

ALCOHOL Rules of performing Salaah. The people would approach prayer drunk, alcohol
was not forbidden yet; graDuàlly phased out to help people kick habit. People need to
approach Salaah in a pure state.
DRY WUDU Tayyamum is mentioned in Ayah 43.
The Jews changed the words of Allah swt for their own benefit. Insulting Rasool and the
Deen
Allah will forgive everything except Shirk.
Ayat 49: Dont boast about your Imaan and piety. Its up to Allah swt. Allah is Just.
Ayah 51-52: Many people (Muslims included) pick and choose from the scripture but look at
the non-believers as more guided. Allah curses these people.
The Jews wished for the prophet to come from amongst their own people. They did not
like this.
HELL Ayah 56: In Hell fire as punishment the skin will be roasted and made again. The
pain is in the skin; the skin will be burnt and replaced. Why does Allah talk about human
skin and not muscle or blood? Science explains the nerves are in the skin.
HEAVEN Ayah 57: People who believe will be given gardens with large flowing rivers and
pure partners Azwaajun
Ayah 58: Allah explains trusts should be given to good people and not wrong people. Do
justice for people. Be a good judge. Message for the leader.

who know about Shariah.
Disagreements should be resolved through Allahs
rules, Rasool-Allahs s. advice.
o Take all solutions from the Quran and Sunnah
Section 9 Ayaat 60- 70
People will say they believe in Rasool and Allah. But when reality comes, they will not use
the Quran and Sunnah and look for answers elsewhere. They claim they are believers, so
why are they going elsewhere?
SIGNS OF HYPOCRITES Hypocrites [Munafiqoon] are reluctant; ask yourself, are you
reluctant in accepting the answer in the Quran and Sunnah? Ayah 61-62
Ayah 63-64: Allah tells the Rasool to ignore them as he knows whats in their heart. Maybe
a good word will enter their heart. All messengers are sent to be obeyed, if the people ask
for forgiveness Allah will accept it.
No punishment on thoughts. If a decision is made by Rasool control your thoughts, accept
fully. Be obedient and surrender yourself to that decision
Ayah 67-68: Allahs rules are not always followed 100% but if people did, they would be
given a GREAT reward. Allah would guide everyone to the Straight path
Allah mentions good company: those who obey Rasool s. and Allah., will be with Anbiya
(prophets) and Awliyah (saints) 4:69.
LESSON: Use these checklists to understand who you are and whose company you are
in.

SECTION 10: Ayaat 71- 76
These verses talk about these people who look at opportunities to benefit from.
If something bad happens to someone they will leave that indiviDuàl. If something good
happens they will join in to gain good.
JIHAD Allah talks about jihad on battlefield. Ayah 74-78
o Fighting with sincerity then you fight for Allah. Sell the life of this world for the
Akhirah
o WHY dont you fight for the oppressed men, women, children they ask for a
helper. Its YOU.
o If you are not sincere you fight for Shaytaan.
o The plot of Shaytan has always been weak Ayah 76
o Jihad only applies if there is a Khalifah.
o Ayah 84: Fight in the cause of Allah you are only responsible for yourself;
encourage others to join you. Allah is great!
Allah talks to the people who scared of fighting in the battlefield; why have you decreed
upon us fighting. REPLY the enjoyment of this world is little. The akhirah is better.
Injustice will not be done to you.
SECTION 11 Ayaat 77- 87
Allah reminding us of our duties.

Ayah 78: No escape from death. You cannot blame others for tragedies and hardship. People
would blame the Rasool s. You cannot do this. Everything is from Allah. Good things, bad
things, tests.

lowly things in front of Him
just the salaam but any
QURAN Reflect on it. If the Quran was from someone else, thered
greeting. Even a hello.
be contradiction - Ayah 82
There would have been dispute in verses if it had been from
anything/anyone other than Allah.

wish Allah guides him so he gets heaven (Refer to Ayah 86)
Ayah 87: Allah does not lie. He will resurrect everyone and there is no god but Him.
SECTION 12 Ayat 88- 91- talking about hypocrites
Guidance for Muslims: not to divide yourself when it comes to decisions about hypocrites.
Allah humiliated them because of their actions/behaviour. How can you guide such a person
that Allah has misguided. They wish for the believers to join them. People will try to bring
you down and be with them. Dont be friends with the hypos! Dont show sympathy with them
AHKAAM Ayah 90-91 Rulings on how to fight. Show more peace and kindness. If they do not
fight you & offer peace, you cannot fight them, if not fight them and defend yourself.

Those people deceive themselves and live in deception. Those who are deceptive. They

goodness in whispers except that someone is telling secret charity or to make peace
between people = that is better and more rewarding.

Ayah 148: Allah does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has
been wronged. And ever is Allah Hearing and Knowing.
Ayah 149: Learn to forgive, openly

Ayah 151: Torment for Kafiroon
Ayah 152: No difference between prophets. Believe in all prophets. Whoever makes
difference are non-believers. Save us from this, we believe in all and obey them.
Juz 5 + 6 Begins Here
People (Ahl ul-Kitab) asked for revelations from Rasool-Allah cheeky! They already asked
Musa alayhisalam a bigger thing (to see Allah). There was thunder because of their
injustices and arrogance. They were killed.
o Killing of the cow Musas people worshipped the calf.
Ayah 154: People asked to see Allah arrogantly.
o So the Toor mountain was raised and a covenant was made between Allah and
them.
o Ayah 155: They were cursed for breaking the covenant.
Ayah 156: Isaa ibn Maryam story biggest dispute between 2 religions.
o Ayah 157: He was not killed/crucified = Islamic belief
o Isaa is alive. Ahl-ul-Kitab WILL believe because Jesus will be witness against them
on J. Day. Was he crucified? Prove it!
And they did not kill him [Jesus], nor did they crucify him; but [another]
was made to resemble him to them (4:157)
Rather, Allah raised him to Himself (4:158)
And there is none from the People of the Scripture but that he will surely
believe in Jesus before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection he will be
against them a witness. (4:159)

o
Jews stopped people from progressing.
Ayah 160: Some foods were made Haraam for them

Ayah 161: Taking interest, they were forbidden. Allah punished them for it.
Painful torment for Usury anyone who participates in usury.
Character of believers: strong knowledge, strongly believe in revelation, and in previous
revelations, pray solidly, give Zakat, believe in #JDAY.
SECTION 23 AYAH 163 171
Comparative roles between prophets. No-one can say nobody came as a Warner.
o Allah gave revelation to Nuh, Ibrahim, Ismaeel, Yaqub, Yaqubs descendants, Isaa,
Ayoub, Yunus, Harun, Sulayman, Dawud was given Zabur, Psalms.
PROPHETS Ayah 164: We havent been told about all of them.
Ayah 168-69: People who disbelieve AND make distract people from Allah, who commit
injustices Allah will not forgive them or guide them. They will enter Hell.
Ayah 170: Rasool-Allah has come with the truth
Ayah 171: Message to Christians: Dont be extremist in religion. Saying wrong things like
Trinity. Uh-uh!
Story of Isaa ibn Maryam Not 3!, Only Allah is God.
o Jesus is Allahs Kalimah, His word.
o Given to Maryam, a soul of Allah.
o Ayah 171 - Allah is above these things they say
SECTION 24 AYAH 172 176
Messiahs job description

o Isaa àlayhi-salam is not a reluctant Àbd of Allah. And YOU claim he is a son! This
is arrogance. Showing hatred towards Abdullahs; they will be punished. And not
have any support against Allah.
Burhaan clear proof. Messages are sent in Manifest light not for blind! Ayah 175.
Noora mobeena.
Ayah 175: Whoever sticks to believing in Allah, Allah will guide to Himself on a straight
path
AHKAAAM Ayah 176: They ask for legal ruling regarding parents Reply with parenting
roles; inheritance for looking after children.
Last Ayat is full circle, back to Ayat 1: Rights towards parents, inheritance, love, respect.

6. SURAH AL-ANAAM [The Cattle]

Surah Themes
Revealed in Makkah, was revealed at night.

Justice Shariàh, Rulings.

First Surah begins with Alhamdulilah, the fourth part also starts with Alhamdulilah, with allahs
mercy and fadl (bounty), starting a new part beginning with alahs praise. Who created the heaven
and earth.he made darkness and night.
One who does not want to believe will make hundreds of excuses, even if Allah sent it himself
with an angel they would not believe. No matter how its revealed. These people would joke with
the prophets and disrespect them. This is bad for them and they will be harmed.
Travel the earth and see the signs when travelling the earth. Allah speaks of his mercy and
how will bring us all on JDAY.
The prophet said he feared Allah and feared disobeyed him and feared Jday. Why? Though
he was pure and did not disobey. Allah will not put fear in the believers hearts and will not
punishment them. Disobediant people will be punished and will be given recompense for
their bad actions. BE CAREFUL!!
Lesson for Muslims: Everything is in His hands. If he wants to favour someone no one can stop
it. We all seek refuge in Allah and from his punishment
If Allah gives you good things, no one can stop this. Prophets Duà: nobody can stop whatever
Allah wants to give to you, no one has the power to benefit anyone against Allah. Dialogue:
Quran is revealed from Allah- and whoever is receiving the message. Between Rasool and Allah.
Prophet witnesses there is only one God (Wahid)
They recognise the prophet, but their souls are in loss because they dont fully believe.
The nature of person- if he does something wrong he will say I did not do this, I swear by
Allah. First thing we say by default. Same thing on Judgment day, we will day we did not
do this!
They will say We swear by Allah we were not polytheists! despite worshipping idols. Allah
says look how they lie about themselves Ayaat (6:23). They will still try on judgment day
to escape from them. Every time the criminal is caught will not admit, he will deny and try
to escape the situation. They will stand on the edge of hell fire, they will desire to be
returned and will request to be sent back and they will say they will believe and not
reject.
Allah says (26) that they are liars, even if they were returned they would not believe. Time
and time again Allah reminds us we will stand before Allah and be accountable. They will
say Yes it is true, we did not believe.

SECTION 4 Ayaat 31-41
Allah says that he knows it hurts Rasool when they deny you, but they deny Allah and deny
in his signs. Many messengers were denied and not accepted.
Lesson: Dont get sad over it.
Lesson for scholars/preachers: if the community ignores and it hurts So destroy not
yourself in sorrow 35:8
The peoples attitude will not change. Some people will accept and some with refuse, our
duty is work and work! The result is with Allah swt. There is no harm on the preacher, the
person only harms himself.
Allah mentions he sent messengers to diff nations and they were tested. Maybe they
become humble- this is the reason for nbeing tested.
When tragedy strikes, good people show humility, but some hearts are hardened and are
not and Shaytaan encourages them to stray away. In difficult times we turn to Allah, but
then we forget him in hard times.
People think they benefit so much from wordly pleasures, so Allah destroys them. Allah
can take imaan from hearts, and these people are completely hopefull. Many nations were
destroyed, because they were wrong doers.
Allah says dont rebel those people who remember Allah and want to please him. This
happens in society, those who are needy and poor turn to Allah more and more. But other
people look down on them.
Lesson: Allah says they are TRUE servants of Allah and dont turn them back.
Common practice in community- those who have less wealth and worldly things we mock
them. Allah says DONT DO THIS! We look at those who have more thinking they are more
blessed. Allah does not like these comments. (6:52-54)
We ignore and degrade these people (homeless) we look up to those who have many cars
and houses. Allahs Fadl is in those who earn halal, not haram. Its not about how much
hajj you go on or how much charity you give. Allah loves the grateful- they do Shukr
despite having so little.
SECTION 7:
Allah knows everything- every leaf that falls

Lawhe Mahfooz luminous book (6:59)
SECTION 8: Ayaat 61
Angels are guardians- to protect human beings. Time of death angels will not be lazy, they
will not leave anyone.
Death and #Jday will come quickly
Allah is the one who saved you from calamities- but you still do shirk??
When one is ill they ask Allah for Shifa, when he does, then you wont talk about Allah. You
will speak of the doctor and medicine that helped you. He totally forgets, that Allah saved

you and gave you Shifa. Allah created the doctor and created the shifa for you. Medicine
may fail many times. Be grateful!! Say it was Allah who gave me shifa!
Signs of Allah for our understanding
6:67- Death is soon, reality is soon. You will come to know!
Leave those who dont take Deen seriously. Dont participate with them, is they mock
Deen/pious people. If accidently you do, Allah reminds us. (6:68) They drown in evil
conversation- dont be part of it. Save your Imaan. Useless talk.
PUNISHMENTS- boiling water
o Allahs punishment is in different shapes.
o Our punishment today- (6:65) we will be mixed with other nations, wanting to
adopt other peoples lifestyles. Youngsters will look toward fashion, eager and keen
to follow the trends of today. This is the biggest punishment that people leave the
right path and want to follow others.
Story of Ibrahim and the idols (6:74-82)

Allah told Rasool to tell the people to worship Allah alone.
People often have a tendency to take you off track. Oh revise later, lets go out
Something already granted us something beneficial, dont be silly and replace it with
something unbeneficial.
Do we worship beside Allah? These things do not benefit or harm,
Comparing with Ibrahims story. Ibrahim turned toward Allah fully, with devotion. He was
free of polytheism and did not follow them.
Allah is advising Rasool when they argue with you, tell them Allah guided me, I fear (6:80)
Ibrahims son is Ishaq- Ishaqs son is Yaqoob. Allah made them leaders to. Many prophets
are mentioned in these ayaat to emphasise that if any of these prophets did shirk, their
good deeds would have been in vain. 16 prophets are mentioned!
If anyone associates any partnership or likeness with Allah is shirk. Lam ya kula hu kufu
wan ahad Surah IKHLAS.
If they didnt do their duty Allah would have handed it to someone else.
Allah is saying: They are all guided, follow their guidance. It is naseeha for people.
False prophets- who pretend to receive revelation.

Jews did not do justice to Allah. How? They did not respect Allah or appreciate the
bounties Allah gave them. They were ungrateful despite having the Torah, Injeel and many
prophets.
When rasool came they (Jews) said: There was no revelation so how can we believe in
this prophet. There was no guidance from heaven.
You claim you are Musas people, then say there was no revelation. Then who brought the
torah? Now you deny the Quran. Previously you said you were chosen people by getting
the book, now you say something else.
When death comes: you will see!! In the last breath, the angel stretches out their hands
and say take out your own soul. They will take out very painfully. It is dragged out. 6:93-94
Allah is placing birth and death together, a sign for us to reflect. He placed birth and
death together in one sentence. In birth you were alone, and in death you were alone. The

beauty of the Quran, he joined the two ends of our life to create a picture of reality for
us.
What are you leaving behind? Whatever Allah gave you.
A baby is born with nothing, no clothes, toys etc (terminator) Completely naked. You are
wrapped in white sheets and put away.
Reflect the reality of life
Life and death are signs from Allah

Allah talks of other creations he has made, jinn etc and how he is above all of this.
Allah mentions the creation of heaven and hell

Logical answer; how can you claim he has a son or daughter. He has no wife, how is it
possible? This is a logical answer.
Allah is explaining in a logical way
Dont swear at their Gods/faith, be polite in community.
Everyone was asking to see a miracle from Rasool. They took an oath saying if a sign came
to them they would believe. Miracles are with Allah
Many times Abu Jahl asked for miracles
The stone read the Kalima in his hand still he said it was magic! Allah says no matter how
many signs we give them they wont believe. Their hearts are hard.
SECTION 14: Ayaat 111Even if we sent angels to speak to them, and made the dead alive in front of them. They
still will not believe. They only want to test the prophet and cause difficulty for him. They
are not willing to accept Islam. Their intention is wrong initially.
Lesson: Check your hearts intention when talking to people or asking questions. Arguing is
not the nature of Muslims.
Every prophet has an enemy

Dont be of the doubters- message for believer
Majority of people will mislead you- movies! Hollywood musicEat halal, with Allahs name, if something dies naturally we dont eat it. Allah explained
when his name is mentioned then it is lawful. Cant say Muhammads (sw) name and eat.
Gain Tassawuf by leaving the Haraam the apparent and secret (zahir and baatin)
Ayaat 122-129
Allah uses metaphorical language, before a person receives noor and guidance of Quran.
Those who study the Quran receive a new light. Before the light you are dead. You are
receiving the light of Allah, what will happen when you return bacl to the Dunya, Allah
says he takes that noor back with him to the community, he takes that noor to the people.
We talk about these classes/Quran classes with othersAllah speaks of this! (6:122)
In every community Allah made great people who use others and make them corrupt, the
poor follow them. Allah speaks of tyrants who have power many times, they dont accept
the right path easily.
They lie! They say they want peace in the community. A blanket over the eyes.
They have evil plans with evil people. Pulling the strings, sit back and make others do bad
for them. Puppet showWhen someone accepts Deen his chest is open and feels happiness and peace. He who is
astray- (6:125) their faces drop Allah speaks about those people. Their chest tightens, the

good words doesnt affect them. Its so difficult for them, as though they are climbing up
to the sky. Say things like oh the Maulanas started talking.
#ECOISLAM Allah talks about the bounties He has made Olives, fruits, trellised gardens. ayah 141
Joke: Mufti saw a huge tree, with only 1 seed, and the bigger bush had lots of fruits.
Reply; unfair! The fruit should be swapped. Wind made the date fall and hit his head.
Animals are mentioned their Haramness etc.
SECTION 18: Ayaat
Dont eat animas that havent had Allahs named over slaughter.
Jews were forbidden to eat animals fat;
Allah is of extensive mercy message to the Jews, ayah 147
Polytheists, IF Allah WILLED! We wouldnt be shirking ayah 148
Ayat 149: If someone sells drugs; does HAram and claims If Allah wils, I will stop. Corrupt
mentality. Different between knowledge of Allah and will of Allah. Corrupt mind repliles
like Mushrik, if Allah wills, we wont associate with His will. The person is talking the
same. Corrupt mentality. Allah does not will someone to do Haram. Be careful of this
misguidance.
SECTION 19: Ayaat 151 - 154
Similar ayat to associating partners; dont kill children in fear of poverty. Allah feeds
them and you!
Dont have bad niyyah: Secret, Baatin
Do not eat up orphans wealth
Follow My Path Ayah 153, follow it, maybe youll be guided
No soul burdened beyond capacity
Story of Musa Torat is mentioned. Ayah 154: Guidance was given, and blessings, sent to
guide people, like Quran is sent to guide.
SECTION 20: Ayaat 155 - 165
Luminous argument has come, and mercy and guidance

Ayah 159 watch out for people who make sects, ignored them oh Prophet!
o Allah says He know what people are doing be dividing, he will reward the good
people of 1 Good act = 10 Rewards. But 1 sin = 1 punishment.
o The straight path has been shown, the path of Ibrahim.
6:162!! This is engraved on my chocolate box. My sacrifices, life is for Allah!
o
No bearer or burden will bear anothers burdens
o Dont make friends thinking they will take you burdens
o Everyone is responsible for their own deeds
o Allah made you on Earth, give ranking to TEST you. Allahs punishment is
reminder and His Mercy is reminder.
Allah addresses Muslims: dont say you didnt receive the message on J. Day. Like Jews,
Christians they got message, but we didnt?! HADAH KITAABUN. This is THE Book. Dont
say you were unaware of the teachings, so how will we follow. Allah says take the book,
follow its teachings.
Ayah 163: I am the first to submit to Allah.
164: But you say you want another Lord. Allah is the Rabb of everything.

7. SURAH AL-ARAAF [The Heights]

Surah Themes
Revealed in Makkah, was revealed at night

THE HEIGHTS- The last people to stand by heaven. Highest place above hell.
Judgement Day & people of Heaven/Hell
Allahs provisions
Prophets Adam, Nuh, Saleh, Lut, Shuayd, Musa
Iblees & previous nations
ALIF LAAM MEEM SAAD - Allah swt and his Rasool know the clear meaning of these initial
letters.
Allah said the Quran was sent to warn and admonish people, not distress. Why Allah said?
Sometime we as humans feel a burden, (not the prophet) Allah describing to us and giving
us a lesson that if a noble cause is given to you take it happily. It is not a burden.
Dont follow your friends, even parents will say dont befriend such and such person.
Follow Quranic teachings and not society. Doesnt matter if everyone else is, you dont go
there. Follow Rasools life and footsteps.
Story of Adam and Iblees

Most of them will not be thankful- not disbelievers but we are ungrateful.
Why was Adam taken out of heaven and only given a small part of it? So he experiences it
so he has it in the future. If there is something good taken away from you, the way back is
repentance. Message for all of us- repent to return to Jannah.
Shaytaan challenged Allah saying it was his fault he went astray. Children do this also, they
blame other for their sins and short coming. We are all accountable for ourselves.
Shaytaan wanted to cause humans destruction because of this. He wanted to drag
everyone down with him. He wants to prevent us from entering Jannah.
Do you want to be with Ar-Rahmaan or Shaytaan?
7:23 DUÀ- Dhalama;
Many prophets mentioned the same dh-l-m in their Duàs. Hadith of Adam as, who found
the Kalima and gave Waseela of Rasool and it was accepted.
Dress code is mentioned; Libaas (clothing) cover your bodies, Rasool also mentioned that
many people wear garments but they are naked, they will go to hell fire.
The best Libaas is Taqwa, even if you are alone with taqwa you will not sin. The best cover
for your life is Taqwa. It will cover you from bad things and you will be free from sin.
Shaytaan took our parents clothing, if you wear unsuitable clothing you are following
Shaytaans path.
People will blame Allah, Allah will never command to wrong thing, Allah will not tell
people to commit sin.
Allah will not command to do bad will command to do good. Wear good clothing when you
enter the Masjid.

Mufti Saab said: dont come in three-piece suit, PJs, coat and turban. If you cant go to
your work place in PJs in these clothes. Come in a nice way to Allah. Wear beautiful when
coming to the Masjid
Who dare forbid the duty that allah created for us. Dont make the halal = haraam, and
the haraam = halal. Allah sets limits.
CONVERSATIONS ON JUDGMENT DAY:
Blaming each other, other people- corrupt mentality.

Good mentality0 to take the blame to save his friend/colleague.
7:46- The Heights
Conversation between the people of Hell and heaven they will call them and say OUR
LORD promised us and his promise was TRUE. What you were promised, did it come true?
You thought your life would be better for not believing. They willl say. AnnouncementAllahs curse is on the wrong doers.
The door wont open for the arrogant deniers
DUÀ: 7:47
The people of paradise will make this duà- its through Allahs mercy we are here.
The people on Al-Araaf- will say peace be upon you, and they hope they will enter heaven.
They look back onto hell and ask Allah to save them, they wish for Jannah
These are the last people on the sirat- they dont go to hell, last group to enter Jannah.
Tattered clothing.
The same people on Araaf will talk to the people of hellfire. They will say your people did
not benefit you, thinking you had a strong community/gang where is it now?
They will not get any mercy of Allah. Heavenly water is Haraam for them. Allah forbade it
for the disobedient people. Many Muslims will not enter heaven.
Action gets you into heaven or hell.
Allahs signs- He created the world in 6 days. We assume it is our worldly time, but Allahs
time is different. He is not in need of time. Ulama (scholars) say these days are periods of
times (thousands or millions).
Call your lord will humbleness, secretly. Do not create mischief after i
Initially intentions are always pure and good, when he succeeds he diverts from the right
direction and his own Nafs comes in, before he was calling Allah and now he is calling his
own people (tafsidoo fil ardh).
heavy clouds no one knew tons of water would be stored in clouds, now we do. Allah
mentions this. They are heavy, air takes them here and there. Scientific miracle.
Prophet Nuh (As)s story. The people claimed they were right and Nuh as was right You
cannot compare yourself to the Prophets. Nuh said Im sincere and doing my duty as a
messenger. They were blind, and were not thinking or observing the life of Nuh (As).

SECTION 9: Ayaat 65
These three Prophets faced the same types of people and each kind of people were
destroyed
[1] Prophet Hud, and the people of Aad. A storm killed the people of Aad. Their huge bodies
were a favour from Allah. Prophet Hud and Nuh replied in the same way to the evil people
(7:61/7:67) I am indeed a messenger of the Lord of the worlds. Allah cut off the root of
those people who denied the signs.
[3] Prophet Salih (As) not to harm the she camel. But they did not believe. The poor listened
to Him, but the wealthy were arrogant and proud and did not believe in him. They were
destroyed by an earthquake.
[2] Prophet Lut (as)- they were punished for being impure and marrying men and not women.
Allah destroyed them with rocks from Hell and they were stoned. It rained on them- hellish
rain. (Dead sea)
Prophet Shuayb: When he preached the message of Allah, Tawheed. But they did not
listen. They deceived people in buying and selling. They gave less for a larger price.
Boys on the streets- mentioned in these Ayaat. People fear big gangs of people on streets.
Dont sit on every path, threatening and averting (7:86)
Lesson from Mufti Saab: Allah could have destroyed us because of our bad deeds, but he
didnt because of Rasool sw. They were destroyed.
Allah said he tried and tested people, those who showed humbleness, but they didnt take
advice from the signs. We granted them things to test them, we can take them away.
Allah gives halal provision for those who believe and fear Allah.
SECTION 13: Ayaat 100
Miracles of Musa. Story of Musa begins.

Parents are given a crown to wear, for those children who read the Quran and implement
it in their life. Imagine what the person will receive.

LESSON: Umar learnt Surah Baqarah in ten years. Dont rush, give yourself small chunks of
what you need.
(7:121) They said: We believe in the lord of the universe. (7:121) They said this
because they knew magic ends. Pharaoh said do you believe in God before my permission,
He gave himself such a high position. Pharoah said he is their Lord. (Astaghfirullah). He
said I will give you death sentence, they said l 7:125 We are to return towards our Lord.
Best success to leave the Dunya with your Imaan.
DUÀ FOR PATIENCE: 7:126 Give us Sabr
Dialogue between Musa and the Pharaoh, the leader of pharaohs people said Musa was a
very talented magician. People always fear someone else is taking over and we are losing

power. The prophets did not come to take over, or to gain kingdom. They have come to
guide them towards Allah.
Same with Rasool, they said he wants the kingdom, he wants wealth and he wants women.
That was their corrupt mentality.
LESSON: When you think evil about good people- it is a sign your heart is in a bad
place.
The evil people said to keep an eye on Musa as he is causing problems on earth. Pharaoh
said we will kill their sons and keep the women.
Musa ass people had a very corrupt nature, Allah swt said he could replace these people
with better people who dont cause corruption.
Plagues sent to Musa (as)s people:

Locusts - Flood The Nile turned into blood- Lice Frogs
But they were arrogant and were a criminal people. (7:130)
Give and take, they said give us relief from this punishment and we will believe in you
They saw other people worshipping idols, so they said to Musa to make them an idol also.
Make for us a God just as they have Gods (7:38)

Musa wanted to see Allah. Allah replied, You will not see Me, but look at the Mountain,
if it should remain in place, then you will see me. 7:143
Reflection of Allahs light was in the mountain and he fainted. He repented.
Lesson:
Musas people were disobedient, he was very angry. He spoke to Haroon his brother, and
asked why he did not stop them. The people thought Haroon was very weak as he was only
one person.
The people worshipped the calf, Allah will humiliate them. They committed sin and
repented- Allah will accept the repentance.
70 people were chosen by Musa (As)- key people to take to Mount Tur. They wanted to
listen to Allahs word. Earthquake took place and the people were killed. Musa as made
Duàa that if they are killed the people will think he killed them. So Allah brought them
back to life.
#HADITH Best nikah is the one with the least expenditure.
Musa (as) married Shuaybs daughter- her name was Safura.
SECTION 20: Ayaat 158
12 springs gushed from the rock, for each tribe.

The Prophets Risaalat is mentioned. He is not the messenger of Makkah or Medina or
Arabia only. Dont limit Islam to your own culture.

Rasool is the messenger for all mankind. Even stones were greeting the prophet, Àli was
shocked to hear this and prophet said even before the prophet hood it would greet me.
(Tirmidhi)
Mount uhud- we love it and it loves us hadith
Rasool àlayhis-salamlet the angels in prayer
Baitul Mamoor Kabah in heaven
THE people would preach to others whilst others would stop them saying these people will
be punished
Scholars say we make excuses, it is our duty to give the message, its up to them to accept
it or not.
Peers/sheikhs- you cannot say if they are forgiven then you will be forgiven. Doesnt make
sense brrooo!!! :P
7:170- Hold fast to the book and establish prayer
Allah SPEAKS of a town- these people were punished
Mountain was raised above them like a dark cloud- a message for us
SECTION 22 AyAt 172-181
Stupid people:
o A man called Bahoor who wanted to compete with the prophet and take over
after him. He escaped fro the people and followed Shaytaan..he was a wrong
doer. Allah lifted him, gave him good things, but he followed his own desire. He
is like a dog.
Example of Jinn
Men are like fuel of Hellfire not understanding, like animal but worse than Dog.
Any name that you call Allah, He will respond! Call him ar-Rahman, or call Him Allah!
SECTION 23
Look at Kingdon of Heavens of Allah

Allah leads whomever He wills
The Hour? When is it: Only Allah knows (said Rasool-Allah)
o Lying heavily on Heavens
o Will return when Allah wills, most people dont think about it
o A world of Uneen (ghaib). I am only a warner
SECTION 24
Made
o
o
o
you into a couple he covers her she carries a burden

Duà is made: Give us a pious child, a Ne`ma
Then arrogance kicks in: We did this and we educated our kid.
Allah says dont do this reaction: Giving credit to others, not Allah. Allah made this
happen, not other people.
Idols: do you associate something with Allah when YOU are created too?! Dont make
sense!
Those people you worship are slaves like you
Call upon your associates then and try to get rid of Islam (challenge)
My protector is Allah and He befriends the righteous
Guidance:
o Oh Prophet! Adopt forgiveness and be merciful
o When Shaytaan comes to mind, they are careful

o But brthers of Shaytaan (ie followers) will be punished

Fard command: Listen to Quran silently to have mercy (usually dont do this)
May Allah give us TAwfiq
Remember Allah in your heart humbly, secretly, morning and evening and dont be from
those who are heedless and unaware.

When in middle of war your duty is still to keep your link strong with Allah. Dont dispute
listen to the prophet saw.
Arguing over small things, whenever a decision is made stick to it.
Listen to the majority. You cant please everyones opinions
Shaytaan deceiving (8:48)
Shaytaan was there, and was telling them they are strong. The bad guys team
When he saw the angels and Jibraeel as coming he ran away. He came in human form in
Badr, he was encouraging them. The people asked why are you running. He said I see what
you cant see.
He said I FEAR Allah and severe is Allahs torment. Inee akhafullah. Dont say you
fear Allah and continue to do bad. Even shaytaan is scared of Allah.

and backs. The angels say taste the punishment of the fire. 8:50 they are smiting their
faces and their backs

in Allah
Strength comes from Allah.

(8:64) - if there is a fear of someone breaking the contract ,then you are not bounded by
it. If someone else doesnt care. Prepare for jihad, be ready every single moment. No
weakness in heart, dont show any cowardice. If someone wants peace, go forward in
peace. Allah knows everything.
Allah IS with the patient 8:65

Battle situation is explained again

It was very difficult for Muslims at the beginning

Even if there are only 20 Muslims, they will take over 200 non believers.
Ratio 1:2 Allah reduced the number from 1 to ten.
Who are the true believers: These actions are explained: they give shelter (8:72) they
fight their Nafs, and fight in the way of Allah Fi Sabeelillah.
Those that didnt come with Rasool- they have no link with belief. Living in MAKKAH- was
supporting with the non-believers.
Hijrah was very important to show your support.

Muslims in difficult situations help them, until there is a contract between yourselves

Surah Themes
Jews, Christians, Mushrik (polytheists)

Cave Thawr

Surah Tawbah- Bismillah is not written. Different views about this. Surah Tawba is like Surah
Anfaal, for this reason there is no Tasmiyyah. Two separate Surahs Tasmiyyah are written.
Ayaat 1 - 12
{This portion deals with the sanctity of treaties and lays down principles, rules and regulations
which must be kept in view before breaking them, in case the other party does not observe them
sincerely.}
Announcement from Allah to the Mushriks- there was a contract between them. They
broke it. Allah advises the Muslims; If they (mushrik) are not doing any wrong then protect
them and help them. And be peaceful with them also. Muslims are given permission to
defend and attack if someone if they harm them.
LESSON: Establish these sorts of facilities in Masjids, if someone wants shelter give it to
them!
Then give him protection that he may hear the word of Allah. (9:6)
Responsibility on the Muslim to provide the transport and bring people to Muslims. Look
after them, they should feel welcome to join you.
Ayaat 7-16
9:16- Allah will not leave you alone. He knows your struggles
Everyone says Ill do a favour for you.countries say that today. That we will help you,
but they take over and destroy. They lie (Iraq, Afghanistan etc) Hidden agenda is
something else.
SECTION 2: Ayaat: 13 - 37
{In this portion the Muslims have been urged to fight in the Way of Allah with the mushrik Arabs,
the Jews and the Christians, who were duly warned of the consequences of their mischievous
and inimical behavior.}
SECTION 3: 17-24
{In this discourse, the Muslims have been told clearly and explicitly that they will inherit the
rewards promised by Allah only if they take active part in the conflict with kufr, for that is the
criterion which distinguishes true Muslims from hypocrites. Therefore true Muslims should take
active part in Jihad, without minding dangers, obstacles, difficulties, temptations and the like.
38 72}
Mosques should be established by those who believe, its not the governments
responsibility if they dont fund you. 9:18
Even if people are close relatives, but they like Kufr (disbelief) dont befriend them. Dont

be so keen on those relationships if they dont care about your Deen.
If you have love for those things more than Allah and Rasool or working in Allahs path,
punishment will be on you. 9:24
Battle of Hunayn is mentioned, the muslims said they are a large number today and they
were defeated as Allah doesnt like those who are arrogant and boast. Allah said Where
was your large number now? They trusted their large number and not on Allah. (9:24)
..THE DAY OF HUNAYN WHEN YOU HAD BOASTED on your multitude, it availed you
nothing.
LESSON: Trust Allah not the worldly things.
Jews said Ezra was he son of God. AND THE JEWS SAID uZAIR is the son of God. 9:30
People changing Allahs rules and making partners with Allah.
They give very high status is given to scholars and pious people. MUSLIMS do this to. this
OPENS THE way to corruption,
They have taken their priests and monks as Gods besides Allah. 9:31
Allah says they take wealth off people, and they are evil people. This results in them
stopping them from turning to Allah. These scholars will stop them, so they turn to them
instead.
Allah speaks of charity too, the punishments for paying Zakaah on Judgment day are
severe. The day when they shall be heated in the fire of the hell, then their foreheads
and backs shall be branded therewith 9:35
LESSON: Dont forget your duty to Allah. Dont allow others to come in between this pure
relationship.
They ruin their souls 9:42
Allah explains why Muslims do not fight. He asks them why you chose this world over the
next. This world is nothing compared to the hereafter.
Allah explains the migration at Ghar-e-Thawr. The story of the cave is explained.
Abu Bakr worried that they may harm Rasool, Rasool Allah àlayhis-salam was a such at
higher level of Imaan, he said to him grieve not, no doubt Allah is with us.. 9:40
Allah talks about two minded people. Allah does not like these people. If a two minded
person joins you, you will still be harmed by that person. This person puts doubt in your
heart also. Company affects you. Leave these sorts of characters, dont befriend them
Allah describes how they act. They take an oath to say they are with you, but they lie.
They swear by Allah that they are from amongst you. And they are not form amongst
you, yes they are afraid. 9:56
They are keen on seeking charity, if they are not given then they become very angry

Allah mentions peoples behaviour, Rasool-Allah was easily approachable and would listen

to the people. So the people would pick on him saying he cant make a decision. They
accused him, And of them some are those who hurt the prophet AND SAY, He is an ear
9:61
They say they were only joking. These people became disbelievers even though they had
faith.
SECTION 9:
{This portion deals with the problems of hypocrites and lays down rules and regulations
governing the treatment that should be meted out to them and points out their distinctive marks
from true Muslims. (73 90)}
Qualities of the hypocrites:
o They keep their hands close 9:67
o Previous nations were also like this, but they never changed.
Allahs curse is on them. Allahs raza is the biggest thing.
JIHAD Allah orders Rasool to .Fight against the disbelievers and hypocrites (9:73)
Allah is telling the Muslims to be very strong in bloody wars, and try their upmost to show
no cowardice. Each single person should support the army, however he can.
Allah speaks of the hypocrites again, how they started off with faith but lost it with their
bad character and their evil talking led them astray.
Allah puts hypocrisy in those peoples hearts, who say they want from Allah, and when he
gives they still dont do their job. Allah is the provider, but these people take their word
back. They break their promises- SIGN OF HYPOCRICY!
They would mock those who gave little charity as they are poor. An example of a person
who worked so hard all day to earn just a few dates to give his family, he hid it as these
people were laughing at him. Allah said this man earned his paradise through those dates.
Mufti saab said: Allah ko keemath nahi chayai, Allah ko dhil chaya
LESSON: Allah doesnt want a price of something, he wants a pure heart
There were people who were in difficult times. Rasool-Allah announced that they were
going to move. The hypocrites stayed behind and were very happy they didnt go. Allah
said you are scared of this warm and hot weather, but hell fire is hotter!
Laugh less and cry more for yourself. Your destination is Allah.
If someone without belief died (ABDULLAH IB UBAY) died, so Allah said dont lead the
prayer of hypocrites and disbelievers. We are not allowed to take part in other religions
funeral prayer. Give condolences to the family.
These hypocrites were happy to stay at home with the women and not work hard.
LESSON: Give a peaceful life for women, look after them and provide for them.
SECTION 12 Ayaat 90-99

Hypocrites: make excuses to not take part in Jihad The excuses will be endless, And
there came excuse seekers. 9:90
Allah said theres no need to make excuses, Rasool said Allah gave me all the information
that you (hypocrites) hid in your hearts. (9:94)
But there were genuine soldiers of Allah, they left the army as they were not able to go.
They did not have the sources, but they wanted to go. There was no sin for them. Allah

said these people will come again. In the next fight they were in the first line!
Baqah-oon- those people who cry for Allah; genuine believers.
Two groups are mentioned again. Those who embraced Islam in the early days. WasabiQoon. (9:100)
And the hypocrites, 9:101 And some villagers around you are hypocrites
Leading the prayer gives peace (Sukoon) to the believers, and Allah swt accepts their
repentance.
Allah swt says if you make mistakes and sin, work hard and repent. Show Allah swt, show
Rasool and show the believers you are sincere. 9:105
Some others built another mosque, after Rasool-Allah àlayhis-salam built his. It was built
with wrong intentions, And those who have built a mosque in order to injure 9:107
LESSON: Many times a good name or intention is used for evil purposes. Dont fall
in this trap.
The reward for Muslims are mentioned.
Ten qualities of Muslims are mentioned: 9:112
Allah will forgive everything besides Shirk.
The lives of the Sahabah was very difficult.
{This portion deals with the case of those who remained behind and did not accompany the Holy
Prophet for Jihad to Tabuk. For this purpose they have been separated in different categories,
that is, the disabled, the sick, the indigent, the hypocrites, the believers who realized their guilt
and punished themselves before the return of the Holy Prophet from Tabuk and those who
confessed their error. Their cases have been dealt with in accordance with the nature and extent
of their offense. 91 110}
In order to make their noble qualities look all the more conspicuous and dignified by contrast, the
characteristics of the Believers have been mentioned, and they have been reassured that Allah,
the Sovereign of the Universe, is their helper and guardian. Accordingly, because of their
sincerity, He has forgiven the Three Believers who did not take part in the expedition. (111 118)
Allah mentions which company is suitable for us: Be with the truthful people. It is not
desirable for people to believe in Allah and the Rasool-Allah but put their own life as a
priority. Believers sacrifice everything for Allahs way.
Even those who did not participate but wanted to do are given the same reward for their
intention
A lesson about seeking knowledge and going out. For each community there is a certain
community who go out to learn, and warn others about their deen. This is the natural way
to spread the Deen. 9:122
CALL OF DUTY: Learn and spread Islam!
SIGNS OF TRUE BELIEVERS
Put trust in Allah - Accept THE verses

When they are hypocrites their hearts cant accept the Deen.

Language of the eyes9:127

and whenever a surah is sent down
Rasool-Allahs character is mentioned, he loves his Ummah and is keen to guide them. If
they do not listen to you say Allah is sufficient for me
{In the concluding portion, general instructions have been given to the Believers for their
guidance. 119 127}
This is the conclusion: "Follow the Messenger who is gentle and compassionate and your
greatest well-wisher, and trust in Allah, the Lord of the Universe". (128 129)

10. SURAH YUNUS [Prophet Yunus/Jonah]

{Revealed in Makkah}
Surah Themes:
Tawhid Akhirah
Prophets Nuh, Musa, Harun
Makkans challenging Rasool-Allah
Proofs of the doctrines of Tawhid, Providence and Life-after-death have been given by such
arguments as may satisfy the minds and hearts of those who listen to the Message without
prejudice and bigotry with the sole intention of safeguarding themselves against deviation and its
evil results and not for the sake of seeking opportunities for useless discussions.
Those misunderstandings which were (and always are) hindering people from accepting the
doctrines of Tawhid and the Hereafter, have been removed and they have been warned to guard
against those negligence that stand in their way.
Those doubts have been removed and answers to those objections given which were being raised
about the Prophethood of Muhammad (Allah's peace be upon him) and the Message brought by
him.
Graphic descriptions of the life in the Hereafter have been presented in order to warn the people
beforehand so that they should mend their ways here and be not sorry afterwards for their
conduct in this world.
They have been admonished and warned that the life in this world is really a test and a trial, and
that the time allowed for it is only up to the last moment of the earthly life, and that this is the
only opportunity that shall be given to them for accepting the Message and achieving success in
the test. Therefore, they should make the best use of the opportunity that has been provided for
them by the appointment of Prophet Muhammad (Allah's peace be upon him) for their guidance
and obtain the true knowledge of the Reality from the Quran that is being sent down to him.
Otherwise, they shall be remorseful forever and ever.
Their attention has been drawn to some of their acts of manifest ignorance and deviation which
were the direct result of discarding Divine Guidance from their lives. In this connection, the story
of Prophet Noah has been related in brief and that of Prophet Moses in detail in order to impress
four things on the minds:- First, "As your behavior towards Prophet Muhammad (Allah's peace be
upon him) is like that of the peoples of Prophet Noah and Prophet Moses towards them, you
should know it for certain that you also shall meet with the same consequences which they met
with." Secondly, "You should not be deluded into believing by the helpless and weak condition of
the Prophet and his followers, you are witnessing today, that it will always remain like this. You
should know that the same All-Powerful Allah Who supported Prophets Moses and Aaron, is
supporting them and that He changes the circumstances in such a sudden and thorough manner
that none can foresee it."
Thirdly, "If you do not make use of the term that has been granted to you by Allah and mend your
ways now, and postpone this to the last moment like followers of the Holy Prophet have been
reassured that they should not lose heart because of the severity of the circumstances created by
their opponents, especially at the time when they themselves were in an utterly helpless
condition. They have also been given instructions as to how they should carry on their Mission
under those harsh conditions. Moreover, they have been warned to be on their guard against the
kind of behavior which was adopted by the Israelites, when they were rescued by Allah from the
tyranny of the People of Pharaoh.

At the end of the Surah, the Holy Prophet has been commanded to make a declaration to
this effect: "This is the Creed and this is the rule of conduct that has been prescribed for
me by Allah: no change can be made at all in this: whoso will accept this will do so for his
own good and whoso will reject this will do so at his own peril."
SECTION 1: AYAAT 1-10
Huroof-e-muqayat -Allah knows the wisdom behind the indiviDuàl letter

Ayaat 5: Moonlight is not its own light, it is mentioned here.
SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE: The suns reflection is on the moon. Also the seasons are mentioned.
How could Rasool-Allah know this?
SECTION 2: AYAAT 11- 20
When a person is in trouble he will call Allah in each moment, sitting, standing or lying.
And when Allah relieves the difficulty, the person acts as though he did not even call on
Allah and this is a very selfish character. This is the nature of selfish people- they use
them. Allah says the human being does this with Allah swt also.
The people would say to Allah that the Quran was very strict, so why dont you change it
a little bit.
Rasool-Allah said its not from me, its from Allah. 10:15 Its not for me to change it onmy
own accord. I only follow what is revealed to me
Rasool-Allah got a lot of respect from his own community. They gave him the names as
sadiq and al-amin.
Rasool-Allah saw said Allah ordered me, otherwise I would have carried on living with you
and talking to you in the same way. He now began speaking to them in a beautiful way and
reciting the Quranic verses- these are signs that its not form him. Allah ordered him to
preach.
SECTION 3: AYAAT 21-30
Signs from Allah.

Mercy after hardship is form Allah. We call Allah sincerely only when in tragedy. You see
people who say things like this, If you cure me I will pray such and such Salaah. etc. but
they do not fulfil what they say.
Allah mentions the life of this world is very fragile, as death can come any time. Just like
the vegetation, one day it is green and full of life and then it dies instantly.
Allah speaks of the people in different states on Judgment day- these lives will reflect
their situation. Some will have bright faces and will be smiling.
Others will have darkness on their faces,
On that day Allah will separate the good and the bad- no link between them.
The bad people will say to them, when were you following us? There will be justice on
this day. Allah will not be cruel wrongfully
Allah mentions the things He doe, the provision, the rain, our sight etc.
Allah speaks of resurrection and how we will b raised again.
Quran is confirmation of previous books- with no doubt. It is form Allah.
They would say to the prophet that he has made it upDo they say, he has fabricated
it?... 10:38

If you think a human made the Quran, then produce a surah like it with all your helpers.
Allah challenges them.
Dealing with difficult people

If they deny you, say your way is for you and my way is for me. You are not responsible for
them.
Undoubtley Allah odes not do injustice to mankind, but men do injustice to themselves.
10:44
do you guide the blind? Even though they are not watching, many people in a gathering os
knowledge, it seems the person is listening but their mind is elsewhere.
There are people who give false hope to people and they trap them and they mislead and
misguide them and they take them to the wrong way.
When their time is up there is no chance for delay. One hour and one second in arab the
word is Saath it is used for judegment say. There will be no delay, not even a second.
Your death is fixed.
They ask if this is truth, say: I SWAER BY Allah it is truth.
You cant make Allah swt tired, he is above tiredness.
lesson: when teaching,
Allah mentions the Quran is a Shifa (cure) all the spiritual diseases are cures by the
Quran. It is a guidance and mercy for the believers. When Allah shows mercy on you show
happiness- it is good for you
Allah mentions the things he provided through his rizq
Whatever Allah makes halal, none can say its Haraam. And other way round.
Allah is so merciful most people are ungrateful.
Allah made the night and day signs for believers; so reflect! Ou every
If you are reciting the Quran or doing something good, Allah swt is with you -everywhere,
nothing is hidden from Allah.
Friends of Allah- will have glad tidings in this world and the next. Do not grieve over what
the people sometimes peoples words hurt and discourage other.
Allah is saying to the Rasool, dont be disheartened, Allah knows your hard work and
sincerity. So continue
LESSON: Continue working hard, Allah knows what you do!
My wage is only with Allah

Allah speaks of Nuh (As), Harun and Musa
The people said it was magic the people of Musa
Oh my people! If my standing up and reminding you of Allah has offended you, then I
relied o Allah only. 10:71
Allah likes it when the good people challenge the evil people and their evil ways. Stand up
for justice! Allah likes strong people who challenge the others.

Nuh (As) stood up to the people. Be steadfast and Allah will give you great help and you
will succeed.
Rasool-Allah mentioned Imaan in three stages: stop with power, speak against it, if you
cant do anything at least you should hate it with your heart. If there is no hatred in the
heart for evil actions then there is no Imaan. Be careful.

Musa and Harun
People dont want to be with good people, because they fear others. Many people didnt
not join Musa and Harun, because they were afraid of Pharaoh despite knowing Musaa
message was the truth.
Musa as made Duàa against the Pharaoh, as their wealth was attracting the people. He
made Duàa Allah destroys their wealth and houses. His Duàa came true.
Up until the last moment, repentance is accepted.
Pharaoh said in his last moment that he believes, but Allah did not accept his tawbah as he
was drowning. Allah promised to save his body. The land and sea will not allow his body to
remain there.
The people of Yunus (As) are described

Allah mentioned he gave a good status to Bani israeel on the earth, then he mentioned
Yunus (As). The punishment came, and they showed humbleness and they cried out
begging Allah. Allah took the punishment away.
Yunus (As) is only mentioned once here in the Surah.
One time only- When the punishment came, but Allah saved them as they sincerely
repented. Never happened before.
Allah mentions the rule: do you force people to be Muslim? No one has this right. Allah
guides hearts, not us. We spread the message,
Allah said if people have a doubt about the Deen, commit to the faith: I worship Allah who
gives death, I am ordered to be a believer.

11. SURAH HUD [Prophet Hud]

Surah Themes
Prophets & their nations Nuh & the Ark, Hud & àad, Prophet Saleh and Thamud, Prophet
Ibrahim, Lut, Shuayn, Prophets Musa and Harun

Huroof-e-Mutaaat- Allah knows the wisdom behind these letters.
They fold their chest to hide from Allah. Allah knows what they hide and what they
declare.
The companions felt shame how the people would take off their clothes. Allah does not
like it when another person sees another person naked.
Allah will not look at those people with mercy when they do this. They want to hide
something from Allah, but this is not possible, as Allah knows everything.
Every single creation on earth Allah provides Rizq to it, even the smallest creature, Allah
knows where it is and Allah gives that insect Rizq also.
If an elephant is eating, Allah provides for it also.
SECTION 2: 9
If Allah does a favour for someone, and if the person faces tragedy, and the difficult time
goes then he is very happy.
Patient
If you want your Duà to be accepted in difficult times, then make Duà in good times as
well
Allah challenges the people again- third time Allah says bring a surah like one in the
Quran. Allah says if they dont listen to you, that doesnt mean it was not revealed to
you. Allah revealed it. Whoever wants the next world will receive it, whoever wants this
world will receive it and not get anything in the next life.
Two groups: not equal, if someone is good and does good deeds he is beneficial for
creation he is a true believer.
The other group, they dont work properly they dont follow the true teachings, they are
blind, and do not hear the truth.
Are they equal? Never are they equal, one is useless, one is very beneficial
SECTION 3: Ayaat 25
Prophet Nuh says he is not an angel
They accused him of not being a prophet. They said you are from us. They also said the
people around you are poor
People always judge others with luxuries, they measure others with their wealth.
They said to Nuh why are these poor around you, their demand was. We will sit with you if
you tell these others to go. Nuh said my reward is with Allah and I work for Allah, he will
give me reward. I am not rebelling those who believed, because they are true sincere
servants of Allah swt. You are ignorant people.
And he said if I rebel them, who will help me against Allah?
If I said something wrong about Allah it is my sin, I am free from your sin.

SECTION 4: Ayaat 36-49:
Prophet Nuh and the ark
Nuh (As) story is mentioned, when he built the ark.

The people mocked Nuh (As) as there was no water. Allah commanded Nuh (As) to make
the ark in front of Allahs eyes- kind words to Nuh (As) that his merciful eyes are on him.
Dont discuss it, they are wrong doers and they will drown. People also ask what are you
doing?
Nuh (As)s son was not a believer. Parents work hard to help and protect their children.
After he drowned, Nuh asked Allah why his son was not saved, as he was promised his
family would be saved. His son was not from his family as he was not a believer.
True family: those who recite the Kalima and live by it. Deen is thicker than blood.
LESSON FOR PARENTS: Children are Abds of Allah before they are your children. If
they are not believers, they are not your true family.
Only a few Muslims remained with Nuh (As)
Many meems are mentioned in this ayaat.
SECTION 5: Ayaat 50- 60:
Prophet Hud (as) and the people of Aad
These were arrogant people, who did Shirk.

Stories are repeated several times in the Quran. Every time a story is mentioned there are
different lessons in different contexts. Again there is a challenge, after everything was
taught to these people, Hud (As) said, I witness Allah first, and I make witness, that I am
free from what you associate it with him. Come together and try your best to stop me,
dont think I am alone, I trust in my Lord. {Tawakaltu Alalahi}
The people of Aad, disobeyed their messengers and followed the gangsters of their
nation.
Prophet Saleh (as) and the people of Thamud
The people said we had big hopes in you, they said we thought you would be the best
amongst us. This happens to people around you- when they leave University or their
previous lifestyles and turn to Deen. And they turn to the Masjid.]
Prophet Ibrahim Prophet Lut & his people
Glad tidings came to prophet Ibrahims wife- Sarah. She was old and barren, and she did
not understand how this could happen. The angel said do not be surprised, as its the
mercy of Allah
Ibrahim as questioned Allah about Prophet Lut, Allah said not to worry about them. Angels
came to Lut (as)s people and they were beautiful. Lut (as)s people were marrying men
and doing Haraam, he told them to marry women, even his own daughters.
Prophet Lut (as) asked if there was a single person among them who had sense? They
replied they only had desire for men.
Allah destroyed them with stones, and it rained on them. Angels lifted the earth they lived
on and flipped it upside down.
Prophet Shuayb and his people

Shuaybs people said they did not understand what he was saying, and they looked down
on him as a poor and weak person. If you did not belong to such and such a family we
would have stoned you. We are not taking action on you for this reason.
True servants reply: Shuayb said my lineage is more important than Allah? 11:91-92
He said Oh my people is the pressure of my tribe over you more than Allah? And you
have cast Him behind your back 11:92
The punishment Shuaybs people received- killed with a painful noise.
Prophet Musa & Pharoah
The people didnt accept Musaa teachings rather they listened to pharaoh. They are
cursed in this world and the next
Two groups- those sent to fire, and those saved from hell fire.
Allah gives his blessings and bounties to those in Jannah
The prophets worked hard, believers work hard, but Allah know this
11:115 And be patient, Allah does not waste the reward of the righteous.
Good deeds wipe out the bad deeds, to rid of bad habits, replace them with good ones.
11:114 No doubt good deeds obliterate evil deeds.
LESSON: We want a quick solution- be patient!

12. SURAH YUSUF [Prophet Yusuf/Joseph]

THEMES: Patience Prophet Yusuf Prophet Yaqoob Trusting Allah

Background:
Revealed in 10th year of Prophethood revealed in Mecca, in the Year of Sorrow, (Aam ul
Huzn) Abu Talib and Khadija passed away in this year. Abu Talib loved Rasool-Allah more
than his own sons.
Prophet (saw) was filled with sadness, the people in Makkah were being tortured,
persecuted and killed. The Muslims were exposed and needed relief.
In Taif the Prophet and his companions walked 100 miles to be rejected, they were
stoned. Rasool-Allah (saw) made duaa to Allah, then revelation came. Relief came in the
form of revelation and glad tidings from Allah.
The Jews also wanted to test the Prophet (Saw) so they asked some disbelieving Quraysh
to ask Rasool-Allah (saw) why they Family of Yaqub moved from the Holy land (Jerusalem)
to Egypt.
The Jews knew of this, but no Arab could have known this narrative, then Allah swt
revealed the story there and then and the Prophet (Saw) recited it.
Stories in the Quran: Types of stories in the Quran:
1.
About the prophets and messengers and their people
2.
About certain individuals or groups e.g. Luqman, Maryam, Dhul Qurnayn
3.
Seerah events of Rasool-Allah (saw)
Purpose of the Stories (Qasas):
1. To teach Hikma (wisdom (4:5)
2. To show the greatness of Allahs justice (Surah Hud: 101)
3. To give glad tidings to the grateful people (AlQamar:34-35)
4. To increase the faith of believers (Ar-Rum:47)
5. To warn disbelievers (Muhammad:10)
6. To strengthen the message of Rasool-Allah (Saw) (Hud:49)
Prophet Yusuf: A whole Surah is dedicated to him, for his patience and difficult life. A lesson for
all of us. Patience with which you dont complain- this is called Fa sabrun jameel.
Opening Statements: The exposition
{Ayaat 1- 3}
Opening first few letters. Poetry was popular at the time of the Prophet, the Quran challenged
the people to make something similar. It is unique in its literary form.
Ayaat= Four meanings for this word. Ayaat is a verse or line of the Quran. It also means a sign.
there are signs in the universe (night and day). Ayaat can also mean miracles, as well as lessons.
As these signs hold lessons for us.

Look at the universe as an open book with Ayaat- signs from Allah.
Clear Book Kitaab: means book. Mubeen: means clear. It came to clear the way to people; it
clarifies truth from falsehood. Bayaan: also means clear/manifest.
Kataba: Means to write. Qaraa: means to recite.
The Quran has many names, one of them is Al-Furqaan the criterion. Each prophet came with a
message, some with a revelation. Each prophet had the same religion but a different Shariahruling system; laws changed.
Allah swt refers to himself in the royal We out of majesty. Or when he is speaking to Jibraeel
(as) to command him to do something. Messages are sent in the language of the people, so they
may understand. Revelation in Arabic is Wahy. Wahy came to Rasool-Allah (saw) in three
different ways. 1. Through angel Jibraeel who came in the form of a beautiful human (A Sahabah
Dahya*) 2. Heaviest form was when Rasool-Allah (Saw) would sweat as it came like the ringing of a
bell. 3. And as a dream.
Wahy: means revelation, but also when Allah inspires or guides someone. It is through Allah swts
will and power to guide and give Wahy. Allah is the only one that controls everything. Hence we
say Insha-Allah, nothing in this universe has knowledge or permission to do anything.
Prophet Yusuf (as)s story is revealed to us in this Surah. The Prophet (Saw) needed this Surah in
difficult time of giving Dawah to his uncles. Similarly Yusuf (As) was tested by his brothers. The
people at the time of Rasool-Allah were living unders
He saw a dream as a child, when the sun, moon and stars bowing down to him
He related this to his father, his father told him not to relate it to anyone else, as his brothers get
jelous
The brothers were jealous- two sides in every group. One boy said not to kill yusuf, but
throw him in a well instead, the others wanted to kill him out of jealousy.
They covered his clothing in wolfs blood, and showed Prophet Yaqoob
Some people found Yusuf (As) in the well.
Speed of Angel Jibraeel (as):
Rasool-Allah àlayhis-salam asked Jibraeel what his speed was, he said I dont know, but I
will tell you when Yusuf was put in the bucket and rope was released, Allah told me (in
heaven) to reach Yusuf before he reaches the bottom, I went and got him with my hands
And I was told to replace Ismaeel with a sheep when the knife reached his neck, Jibraeel
was in heaven at this time and came down.
The woman (Zulaykha) who desired Yusuf (as) did wrong and pulled his shirt, yet he was
pure and wanted nothing to do with her. He was wrongly accused and the woman put the
blame on her.
The womans husband Aziz recognized his wife as a sinful woman, and did not blame Yusuf
(as). A child who could not speak, spoke for Yusuf (as) to say the woman was the one who
reached for Yusuf (As).


The rumour spread that Zulaykha desired Yusuf, so she invited the women to her home for
food to show Yusuf to them. He was so beautiful and handsome that when the women saw
him, they were cutting fruits and began slicing their fingers accidently. They forgot about
everything else, they said he was an angel as he is so beautiful.
She wanted to defend herself.
Yusuf (as) preferred prison then to be around these people who wrongly accuse him and to
save his character. Allah accepted his dua
LESSON: Save your own character, leave the people if they will make you corrupt.
Section 5: Ayaat 36-42: Prophet Yusuf In prison
He would give Dawah in prison. Noble work does not stop no matter where the person is,
whether they are outside or in prison.
He would say Oh my friends in prison.
Two men he met in prison.
They both had a dream, Yusuf (as) was an expert at interpreting dreams.
Section 6: Ayaat 43
Peoples mentality- the man remembered Yusuf as when he needed him, this is what we
do.
The prisoner dreams of 7 big cows and 7 lean cows
SECTION 7: Ayaat 50 -57
Yusuf as said no when asked to interpret the dream of the king Yusuf asked the king to
remove the stain of Yusuf and the wife incident as he was innocent Yusuf as said any
good person will not claim they are free of sin
All the prophets are free of sin, there is no sin in their life Yusuf shows humbleness to
Allah biggest lesson, Nafs tends to guide people to the wrong path- the king said I am
keeping him to myself, he will give Yusuf a good position in his kingdom
SECTION 8: AYAAT 58 68
There was a drought and people came to the government for rations
Yusuf as recognized his brothers and told them that this will be the last of the food if he
didnt bring his brother the brothers told their father, but the father was worried and
found it hard to trust them, Benyamin eventually went with the brothers
Yaqoob as said that he couldnt stop the fate that Allah has already destined so he let
Benyamin go with the brothers
The brothers came and brought Benyamin, Yusufs blood brother, and Allah told Yusuf to
put something in their bags in order to keep Benyamin with him
The people announced that something was missing, the brothers denied this accusation,
but they found the stolen items with Benyamin the brothers pleaded that they have an
old aged father, but Yusuf as still kept Benyamin with him

The brothers tried to keep benyamin but they couldnt the oldest brother said he wasnt going,
how could he face his father, he wanted to keep his word (same brother that throw Yusuf in the
well not kill him) he would feel ashamed
Brothers told Yaqoob everything, and he said that patience is the best thing and he hoped that
Allah would bring them together Yaqoob cried, lost his eyesight, brothers said to stop he is
destroying himself , Yaqoob he is showing his grief to Allah he asked the brothers to find Yusuf
and benayamin.
The brothers went back and Yusuf and spoke, do you know what you did with Yusuf? The
brothers then recognized him Are you Yusuf. I am Yusuf and he is my brother benyamin.
Allah did a favor on us as we fear Allah and showed patience the brothers admitted that Allah
prefers Tusuf to them Yusuf had the position to take revenge but said he put no blame on them,
Allah is more merciful
Yusuf gave his shirt to the brothers to take to their father.
Importance of Yusufs shirt the shirt made Yusuf seem dead, innocent in front of the king, and
cured Yaqoobs blindness.
Yusuf as told his brothers to put his short on Yaqoobs eyes Yaqoob could smell the fragrance of
yusuf before the brothers reached him parents attachment to the children is very strong, the
parents feel the heart of their children- people said you are talking because you love him, didnt
believe him but he was right
The brother cam and put the shirt on Yaqubs face and Allah cured his blindness
Yaqoob as said did I not say to you I know about Allah what you do not know? The entire family went to see Yusuf, and he brought them to the throne of the king and the
brothers began to prostrate Yaqoob and Yusuf are together oh my father this is the
interpretation of the dream my lord created it and made it true Allah did a favour to me he
took me out of prison and joined us together, you gave me knowledge and kingdom you are the
creator of the heavens and the earth..

Allah says there are many signs but people ignore them it was said to the prophet this is
the wise way and follow his way glory be to Allah
Allah said there maybe difficulties but dont stop as there are lessons in theses and we
should adapt this into our lives.

13. SURAH AR-RAAD [The thunder] Nouman Ali Khans lecture*

Surah Themes
Who has knowledge of the book- except Allah swt.

This Surah, just like its name (Thunder), will have warning in it. It will pick up from where
Surat Yusuf left off (12, 111)
Never was the Quran a narration invented, but a confirmation of what was before it
Surat Rad continues that conversation in its opening verse, as if saying, Now that you
know It [the Quran] is not made up, what is It and how is It guidance?
This Surah has 43 ayat that are divided into small sections. It is full of contrast throughout
these verses. Here is a brief overview of the topics.
The first verse is an argument by itself: the stable nature of revelation and the authentic
source of revelation in contrast with the stubborn nature of the kuffar. As awesome as this
revelation is, most of them will not come to accept it.
In the second to fourth verses, Allah describes the kingdom of the skies. Allah is telling us
about the place where the revelation is coming from. He the Most High is telling us He
wants the rule of Allah to be established on the earth, but it is already established in the
skies from where the revelation has come.
Then Allah tells us that they find this revelation weird and they have no reason to; rather
Allah has reason to it weird that they feel this way.
In verses seven to eleven, the people return to their mantra of asking for a sign in order
that they may believe. Allah responds that He the Most High knows what the people are
doing in their deflection.
In verses twelve to thirteen, Allah points to a sign. Look to the thunder and lightning in the
sky.
Then, Allah proceeds. Now that you know Allahs Power, like in any religion where people
raise their hands in prayer or worship, why would you ask anyone else? Allah mentions the
futility of making duaa (supplicate) to anyone else.
Next, Allah talks about that which comes after thunder and lightning rain. Allah uses the
example of rain to talk about a process in creation that He the Most high has. It is a
cleansing process. This is part of the sunnah (tradition) of Allah in creation. So if you know
that Allah cleans away filth, why do you think you are safe if you do not believe? This is a
very powerful example in the Quran.
In contrast, Allah congratulates those who believe and may the disbelievers be cursed. It is
inevitable.
So the disbelievers wonder why the believers are being congratulated if they themselves
(the disbelievers) are enjoying blessings in this world? Allah addresses this issue in verse
twenty-six. It is like a dialogue.
In verses twenty-seven to thirty-two, the people again ask for a miracle. Now, Allah tells
them instead of asking for a miracle, why do they not reflect upon Allahs Names and
Qualities/Attributes. If they do not want to do that, leave them alone; let them continue
to make fun of this religion.
Allah then turns back in response. Obviously if you do not reflect upon the Names of Allah
you have no consideration for tawhid.
In the thirty-third to thirty-sixth verses, basically Allah tells the people their shirk has no
value, no truth to it. No one will come to help them in the end. Allah rhetorically asks the
mushrikun why they are not more like the people they themselves consider more
intelligent than them (i.e. the People of the Book). There is a group from the People of
the Book who were so delighted and overjoyed that the revelation (the promise of Allah)
had come in their lifetime. Another group from among them, however, were like the
mushrikun. They because of the deviations and crookedness they had introduced in their

religion, had become losers just like you. And the Messenger is being told to not be swayed
by them; they will seem educated, but they will have their own agenda.
In verses thirty-eight to forty-three, Allah is speaking to the Messenger. Messengers were
sent before him on a mission and now he is being sent on a mission. They are asking for
signs and Allah is showing them signs little by little. There is an interesting twist this surah
presents at the end; a new kind of argument. The parable to what Allah is showing them is
directly related to thunder. We will discover that when we get to the end.
Now lets begin. Bismillah. Verse 1

Alif-lam-mim-ra. Those are the miraculous signs of the Book; and what has been sent down to
you from your Master is truth, however, most people are not going to believe.
Verse 2
Allah is the One Who raised the sky without any pillars that you can see. Then, He rose upon the
Throne and He subdued the sun and the moon and put them to work. Everything is moving,
flowing until a given time. He plans out the steps. He clarifies the ayat so that you will become
completely convinced especially of meeting with your Master.
The construction Allah is the One Who raised the sky
Revelation comes from the sky. And so the elevation of the sky and how high it is and how it
stands by itself without any support are all mentioned to show how great revelation itself is.
Taskhir | Word Analysis: It means to subdue something and put it to work. It is like we
domesticate animals and they do what we tell them to do.
Allah proceeds to give us a description of the universe. The sun and the moon, everything is
moving. Of course, we know in nature everything is moving. Inside every single cell or atom,
everything is moving. Life is in a constant state of motion. Allah tells us this movement is only
until a certain time. Then, one day, the Trumpet will be blown into and everything will become
still. Until then, everything is in motion. Motion also implies change. So everything is moving and
altering and transforming until a given time.
The steps in change are all planned by Allah. Change is always happening around us and in us. One
thing that is constant, however, is that we are constantly progressing toward death. So if we
realize that everything in the universe is changing and has an end, we must realize that we have
an end and meeting with Allah. We must be convinced the motion of the entire universe is being
used to invoke this understanding in us.
Ayaat 3:
And He is the One Who stretched the earth out and He placed in it pegged ones and rivers. And
from all kinds of fruit He placed in it two pairs. He causes the night to cover the day (or He
causes the day to cover the night). In all of that there are multiple signs for people who want to
put the effort of thinking (they want to engage themselves in thought).
Rawaasiya | Word Analysis: A word for mountains. It is when the larger part of the mountain is
below the earth, and the smaller part of the mountain is above the earth.
Also, what land seems more stretched than the desert? It seems to extend forever and ever. For
this reason, when Allah mentions that land has been stretched out, the Arabs can very easily think
that this is referring to them and personalize the address.

The imagery Allah has depicted for us is land, mountains, and then rivers flowing through them.
Keep this imagery in mind because it will be used again in the surah.
Obviously, if there is such fertile land (i.e. irrigated with rivers and protected by mountains),
there will be plenty of fruit. Interestingly, Makkah does not enjoy this! It is surrounded by two
mountains, it has the zamzam water supply, but it does not have fruit coming to it from that land.
Instead, its fruits come to it from everywhere else. [Ibrahim alayhi as-salam had prayed to Allah
that his family be provided from all kinds of fruit (14, 37), so Allah provided for the area through
the caravans of the winter and summer (106, 2)].
Every fruit is of two kinds of variations. Some scholars say this is the female and male species of
plants; other fruits have both kinds together; other fruits have two flavors (e.g. tasty from one
tree, but not as tasty from another tree).
Ayaat 4:
And especially in the land, barks of tree that are right next to each other and gardens of grapes
and all kinds of crops and palm trees growing from a single stem or from several stems, watered
with one water. And We give preference to some over others in the texture of fruit. In all of that
there are many miraculous thoughts for those who apply their intellect (give thought).
Tajaawira | Word Analysis: Literally, it means to be neighbors to one another. It is like looking
down the road and seeing rows and rows of trees, even though they were not planted this way.
Sinwaan | Word Analysis: For a date palm to become firm and to stand on a single stem.
To be made of many branches
Why water?
Allah is making mention of different kinds of trees being watered with one water source to make
us think deeply. In this surah, we learn repeatedly that water is a parallel for revelation itself.
Water is pure and it purifies. Revelation is pure and it purifies. Water comes from the sky and
gives life to the earth. Revelation comes from the sky and give life to the earth. Water comes,
different kinds of plants benefit. Revelation comes, different kinds of people benefit. And
sometimes the same tree is drinking the same water from its roots and supplying it to all of its
fruits, but some fruits will come out rich, and others will come out poor. This is just like
households where one person may believe and another will not.
Next time you think about the plants in a garden, think about the different people and how they
vary in their response to the same message.
Some plants are also able to give life to other plants. For example, trees that give shade to shadeloving plants. Messengers are like this; they take all the heat and they provide all the shade,
while themselves having the deepest roots.

Ayaat 5:
And if you are in shock, then their words are shocking, When we are going to be in the dirt, are
we really going to be brought out as new creation? Those are the ones that have disbelieved in
their Master and they are the ones who are going to have chains (linked from one person to the
next) around their necks. Those are the people of Hellfire in which they shall remain.
Who is this verse talking to and what is it talking about?

It is talking to the Messenger of Allah about the disbelief of the people and it being weird.
It is understandable that he would find what they are saying to be weird because it is
weird. Why are they questioning something if it was just mentioned by Allah? Did they not
just hear Allah say that He the Most High would be bringing things back to meet with Him?
How are they shocked that they will be returned from dirt?
It is talking to the disbelievers about their own words being shocking.
This would be shifting from second-person to third-person and may give favorability for option I.
Aghlaal | Word Analysis: This refers to chains that tie multiple things together. This is one
person being chained by the neck, linked to the next person, linked to more people. When one is
pulled, they are all yanked. In some narrations we learn that one is chained to the people he
misguided; also to the people that he did not take any responsibility for (he did not make dawah
to them). All of us fall into this possibility.
These people will have metal around their neck while they are in fire. So the metal itself will also
be burning. The next surah will also talk about chains, but it will refer to them as asfaad;
handcuffs would be this type of chain.
Ayaat 6:
They are rushing you to show the evil (harm, wrong, punishment) before the good, while there
has already occurred before them punishments like that (that they can picture). And your Master
is the possessor of great forgiveness for people despite their wrongdoing. And indeed, your
Master is intense in dishing out consequences.
These people were not asking for good from Allah. They were only asking for the punishment
because they thought they were ready for whatever would come their way.
Mathulaat | Word Analysis: Plural of muthla, from mithaal (example). It is a form of punishment
that becomes exemplary. It becomes a deterring example for others.
It also means for an image to appear in the mind. So it is a punishment that when it is described,
the picture comes to your mind.
These people are asking for punishment, but Allah has not even closed the gates of forgiveness for
them. The fact that they are even asking for the punishment and Allah is not presenting it is a
form of forgiveness for them because once the punishment comes, everything is complete and
done.
They ought most definitely not confuse this forgiveness as lack of delivering intense outcomes.

Indeed Allah is intense in dishing out consequences.
Ayaat 7:
And those who disbelieved they say and they keep saying, Why has not a sign been sent down to
him from his Master? You are just a warner and every nation has a guide.
They are asking for a sign so the Messenger of Allah is asking Allah to provide him the sign to
show the people. In response, Allah is saying that his job is only to warn.
Why does it not say bashiran wa nadhira?

Bashiran would be bringing good news. This surah is about thunder. Thunder always carries the
connotation of thunderous, difficult, terrifying news.
Why is there mention here of every nation having a guide?

This does not just mean a messenger; the Quran is also a guide. So, every nation has its own form
of guidance. Some people received miracles to see, others to hear. Allah decides which nation
gets what. The distribution of Divine resources is up to Allah, that is not your job.
Ayaat 8:
Allah knows what every female carries and what the wombs suck in and get bigger. And
everything with Him is by due measure.
They are asking for punishment as if they do not think that Allah knows what they are really
asking about. Allah knew about them before they even knew about themselves!
Allah knows what every female (not just the woman!) carries even before she knows that shes
carrying something.
Ghidhu | Word Analysis: It means to suck in. to absorb like a seed.
People cannot think they are getting away with anything they are doing. Allah kept track of
whatever was happening and whatever we were doing even when each of us were inside the
wombs of our mothers.
Ayaat 9:
The Knower of the Unseen and the Seen, the Great, the Possessor of the Greatest Heights.
Al-Kabir (the Great) is contrasted with how small we were inside of our mothers. And Al-Mutaal
you are low, Allah is High. Elevation is a repeated message in this surah (highest skies, mountains,
Allah Himself).

Ayaat 10:
It would be the same among you whoever was hiding some speech and whoever was exposing his
speech, and who is trying to hide out in the night or in the day.
Saaribu | Word Analysis: Meaning to flow or move. It also means an animal hole. So someone
trying to hide even in the day. There is no hiding from Allah and going unnoticed.
Ayaat 11:
For each human being a small band of Angels has been assigned in front of him and behind him
and they are guarding him by Allahs command. Indeed, Allah does not change the state of a
people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends harm to come to any
group of people, there is no turning back (e.g. no cancelling it). And beside Him, you are not
going to find any protector whatsoever.
Aqqaba | Word Analysis: It means to follow someone closely (e.g. even if they are climbing a
mountain you are keeping up with them). Think of car chases when the follower is not letting go.
This is like the idea of having Guardian Angels; each of us has a small band of them closely
following us. Their job is to make sure that we do not die before our prescribed time. Some say
that the band of Angels is referring specifically to the Messenger of Allah . As in, he does
not need to fear anything from the disbelievers because he has a band of Angels protecting him
from in front and behind. So why would you worry about the Messenger of Allah? Instead, you
should worry about yourselves because Allah will not change the condition of a people until they
change what is in themselves. In other words, punishment for you is inevitable.
Waal | Word Analysis: Wali is more constant. Waal is the ismfail so it carries immediacy. As in
you will not find a protector for yourselves even standing up at this moment.
Ayaat 12:
He is the One Who shows you lightning and in the lightning there is fear and there is hope, and
He elevates/raises really heavy clouds
Hope because if the land is dry and you see a little bit of lightning, you will be hoping for rain. In
(2, 17), we have another parable of a person who is completely lost, then there is lightning and he
sees where to go. So the lightning is a source of hope.
Why really heavy clouds?

Light clouds do not carry lightning, heavy clouds do. Heavy clouds when they clash together make
thunder. Heavy clouds also carry rain.
If we just saw lightning, what do we expect to be next? Thunder.

Ayaat 13:
Thunder, it declares Allahs perfection and the Angels are doing so too out of His fear. And then
sometimes He sends thunderous/lightning explosions and He afflicts with them whoever He
wants. And they are going to debate about Allah?
The thunder is a form of Allahs tasbih by doing His hamd. The thunder is the sky doing tasbih. So
when we hear thunder, we should automatically make tasbih and hamd of Allah the Most High.
For us, thunder seems scary. Yet, Allah is telling us that the thunder and the Angels are making
tasbih from fear of Him. This thunder and lightning are bolting in the sky and these insect-like
human beings are standing on the ground, arguing about Allah? Do you realize what you are
doing?!?
Mihaal | Word Analysis: From mahula, meaning to use extreme force against someone. It also
includes the meaning of planning an attack against someone. It combines the power of hawl
(power) with hila (plotting and planning). So Allah is intense in executing a well-layed out attack
against the enemy.
Ayaat 14:
He alone owns the call of truth. And those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them at
all, like someone who stretches his hands toward water to reach his mouth, but it is not going to
reach him at all. And the prayers of the disbelievers is nothing but in vain.
What does it mean that He alone owns the call of truth?

The invitation that Allah has is the only invitation to the truth. Any other invitation is not
calling to the truth. Only Allah owns this invitation, not the Messenger nor the Angels.
Dawah means duaa. The supplications of anyone calling to other than Allah did not
actually call to anyone (i.e. they are dialing the wrong number, they are receiving the
mailer demon email in return). Their supplications did not benefit them at all because
they were not responded to.
Allah again draws upon the desert familiarity of the Arabs. In the desert, a person is often
searching for water. He may even see a mirage of water that he will reach out towards and
actually bend forward to drink from, but he will not find anything there. That is like the duaa of
those who call upon other than Allah; they will not find anything there.
Ayaat 15:
To Allah alone everything in the skies and the earth falls in prostration, willingly and
unwillingly, and even their shadows in the morning hours and the evening hours.
Allah mentions the sky (that which is high) first and then He the Most High mentions prostration
(the act of coming low); meaning, high or low, everything kneels to Allah.

Every time we even see a shadow, we should think that even it is prostrating to Allah.
Ayaat 16 & 17:

The two kinds of foam
Foam as a result of coolness. The foam that comes from the flood that fills the valley, taking
along small debris and dirt. This foam is rising to the top of the floodwater.
Foam as a result of heat or burning. The foam that rises to the top when metal is burned.
Which foam is easier? That which is from the water.
What does the parable mean?
Water is parallel to revelation. Allah sent revelation to a valley. Some valleys are deep and
can hold more water, while others are shallow and cannot be filled too high. Revelation,
the message of the Quran, came to the valley of Makkah. It filled the streets at every
angle until the city could not take it anymore so they had to remove the Messenger
and his Companions.
As water fills into the valley, it gives life to the earth. There are some elements on the earth that
are only dirty and they rise to the top. The believers took in the water. The disbelievers are like
the foam on top. It became very clear who would take the message and who would not.
[As an aside: it is this part of the surah that makes some scholars assert it is Madani. Other
scholars will say that this is simply foretelling of the migration to Madinah.]
What is the filth of Madinah? The hypocrites, but they are not easy to distinguish. The
impurities of metal do not rise to the top as easily as those of water. Similarly, the
hypocrites are deeply embedded in the Muslim community and are not easily
distinguishable. They need to be put into extreme conditions to be separated (i.e. the heat
of battles). The entire metal is burning just so that a few can be identified and separated.
While burning metal, one of two things is being pursued: jewelry or utensils. One would rather to
get the more valuable item jewelry of course. When a Muslim goes to battle there are two
things in front of him, 1) Paradise and 2) help from Allah and the victory. They are both
legitimate causes, but keep priorities in mind.
Makithina | Word Analysis: Meaning to remain in wait of something. You will not stay here
forever; you will move on. But what are they the believers waiting for?
Ayaat 18:
And those who responded to their Lord, for them is the best [reward], but for those who did not
respond to Him, had they had all that is in the earth entirely and like it, they would try to
ransom themselves with it. Those are the people who are going to have the worst kind of audit.
And their final place is jahannam what a terrible cradle (hug of a mother) that is.
Allah has already told us that the disbelievers were like the filthy foam on water that would be

expelled. Now what if they did have a chance; what would happen to them? If they had anything
and everything in the world and more like it, they would still have the worst. These are one of
the scariest verses. These people are not just going to have the worst adhab (punishment), but
also the worst hisaab (account). Its as if there is no difference between there account and
punishment because their account will actually feel like punishment!
Ayaat 19:
Then, as for the one who knows what has been sent down to you from your Master is the truth, is
he like the one who is blind? The only people who will make an effort to remember are those
with sound minds -
All the mention of being sent down constantly makes us think of the sky.
Blindness is important to be mentioned here because someone blind cannot appreciate the
greatness of the sky, he cannot even appreciate something coming from below; he just knows it is
there. So the blind would not be able to appreciate that it has come down from the Majesty of
Allah.
Ayaat 20:
those who fulfilled the promise made with Allah and they do not violate the contract,
Mithaaq | Word Analysis: It is a contract where both parties are aware of the seriousness of the
agreement.
Ayaat 21:
And those who keep joined what Allah has commanded to keep joined and they feared their
Master and they feared the worst kind of audit,
Keeping matters together

It is a very comprehensive principle in the religion. Our loyalty to the Book and following the
Messenger , our concern for this world and for the Hereafter, our knowledge and our action.
Family relations are kept together and never meant to be cut apart.
Ayaat 22:
And those who were patient in pursuit of the Face (pleasure) of their Master, and they
established prayer and they spent from whatever We had given to them, secretly and publicly
(openly, announced), and they ward off bad with good they are going to have the ultimate
outcome of a home
Daraa | Word Analysis
Meaning to push somebody hard to get them away from trouble. They are saving themselves by
pushing good deeds ahead of bad deeds (e.g. they follow up any bad deed with good deeds).

Ayaat 23:
the Gardens of Eden they are going to be entering and whoever was righteous among their
ancestry, their spouses, and their descendants. And the Angels are coming at them from every
door [saying]
There are four categories of people who will make it to Paradise i) an-nabiyin, ii) as-siddiqin, iii)
ash-shuhada, and iv) as-salihin.
The Gardens of Eden are from the highest levels of Paradise. Perhaps there are relatives who have
made it to lower levels of Paradise while you are in a higher level an infinite amount of distance
apart. One of the benefits of the people of Paradise will be that you wont be called down, but
they will be called up. The Angels will be escorting people from every one of the multiple doors of
the Garden.
Ayaat 24:
Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And how excellent is the final home.
Allah has not specified who is giving salaam here. It could even be that Allah is the One Who is
giving salaam. Or it could be from the Angels, or the family, or all the other believers.
Ayaat 25:
And those who violate the promise made with Allah even after the covenant was taken and they
cut apart whatever Allah had commanded to keep together and they spread corruption on earth.
Those are the people who have a curse and they will have the worst possible home there can be.
Spreading corruption on the earth

This is contrasted with Verse 21, and they feared their Master. In Verse 21, the fear was
internal. Here, the spread of corruption is external. The people are not just harming themselves,
they are harming others in the land. That is a consequence of disbelief it does not just harm
ones self, but it will lead to harming others.
Ayaat 26:
Allah expands the provision of whoever He wants and He contracts it. And they were overjoyed
with worldly life by itself. And what was worldly life in comparison to the next except nothing
but utility.
Yaqdir| Word Analysis: In contrast to yabdir. Also meaning he calculates; so it has the meaning of
being precise and giving someone exactly what s/he deserves.

Farah| Word Analysis: This is temporary joy.
Ayaat 27:
Those who disbelieve say [again], How come no miracle comes to him from his Master? Tell
them, No doubt about it, Allah misguides whoever He wants and He guides towards Him
whoever is going to return
Munib| Word Analysis: Notice this means to return and so does raja. Munib is used for
returning in the spiritually sense.
They are asking for a miracle again. The point is being made that if they had any intentions of
accepting the miracle and returning to guidance (fitrah), they would have seen it and accepted.
They have no intents of returning to Allah so it wouldnt even matter for them.
Ayaat 28:
(The ones who return are) those who believe and their hearts are content by the remembrance
of Allah. Know that by remembering Allah, hearts become tranquil.
Itminan| Word Analysis: This is comparable to farah (verse 26). Itminan carries constancy. It is
tranquility. The remembrance of Allah calms a person down. The adhkar of Allah in itself is a
healer.
Ayaat 29:
Those who believed and did the few righteous deeds and it is the most beautiful place of
return.
Tuba| Word Analysis: Meaning a joy that brightens up the heart and all the senses. It is not just
emotionally felt; it is exhilaration.
Aaba| Word Analysis: Meaning to return. This is more specific than raja because it is
specifically used for living things. Iyaab is used to mean the trip back.
Husnu maab| Word Analysis: In this is a beautiful hint. Human beings were taken from Paradise.
We will get to come back. What a beautiful return journey to the original home that was made for
the human beings.
Ayaat 30:
That is how We sent you in nation upon nation so that you would recite on to them what had
been revealed on to you. And they disbelieve in Ar-Rahman. Tell them, He is my Master; there
is no one to be worshipped and obeyed in any shape or form but He. Upon Him alone I have

placed my trust, and to Him alone is my place of return and my journey back.
Why use Ar-Rahman?

i.
There were many previous nations and the disbelievers know about them and their
outcomes. The message came to these people from Ar-Rahman. They exhausted the mercy of
Allah on them and they ended up being destroyed. They did not take advantage of it. They were
disqualified from the mercy of Allah. (NB: Rahim is constant. It is for the believers in the
hereafter because they cannot be disqualified from receiving it.)
ii.
Whenever the Messenger would say Bismi Allah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim, the
disbelievers would say, Who is this Ar-Rahman? It is as if in this verse Allah has captured their
attitude and used it against them.
Mataab| Word Analysis: This means return in the physical and spiritual sense.
Ayaat 31:
And if there was a Quran by which mountains would be moved or pieces of the earth would be
chopped up (e.g. earthquakes) or the dead were spoken to by means of it (as in: this would be
it! But these people are like a lost cause.)
Rather the entire decision rests with Allah (He owns the entire matter; they are not in charge of
what Allah will or will not send at all).
Have the believers not lost hope that had Allah wanted He would have guided all of humanity?
(e.g. dont lose hope, dont entertain this thought when you are giving dawah)
And the disbelievers will continue to a terrible calamity will afflict them because of what they
have done and it is still going to afflict them (e.g. no matter what they do, the eventual
consequences coming their way cannot be dispelled) and it will be unleashed very close to their
homes. And the promise of Allah will come. No doubt Allah does not go back on [His] promise.
What happened near the homes of the Quraysh?

Battles e.g. Badr, Uhud
Ayaat 32:
And messengers were made fun of before too, and I have extended for those who disbelieve;
then I have seized them, then how is My taking revenge.
What has been extended?

This is like the analogy that was given in the lessons for Suratl-Baqarah about something being
leashed. If the leash is short, the dog on the leash can be controlled. If the leash is long or has
been extended, the dog on the leash can run around in it to the extent that he chokes himself
with the leash.

Akhadhtuhum| Word Analysis
This is in the past tense. This is already a done deal. It is as if they have already been seized; that
is how sure it is to happen.
Ayaat 33:
As for the One that stands over every soul because of what he or she has done (the pause is
here to express disappointment; Are you really going to disbelieve in that One?)
And they have made partners with Allah. Tell them, Name them (those gods). Or are you
informing Him (Allah and the Messenger) of something He does not know about in the land? Or is
it just outwardly speech. (In other words, you dont want to show that the Messenger has
stumped you so you just started making stuff up.)
Rather the case is that for the disbelievers their plotting (their scheming and lying) has been
beautified for them and they were themselves obstructed from the path of Allah and whoever
Allah would mislead they are not going to find any guide whatsoever.
The last portion (they are not going to find any guide whatsoever) is in contrast to Allah saying
earlier (verse 7) that for every community there is a guide. When someone disrespects the gift
from Allah, Allah will remove the guidance from them.
Verse 34
They are going to have punishment in worldly life and the punishment of the next life is far more
difficult. And not for them from Allah will be any Protector whatsoever.
Ashaq| Word Analysis

For something to be difficult. It is a task that is so difficult that it is way beyond your capability to
complete. The punishment of the Hereafter is beyond any creations capacity to bear. Any
creation would die if it experienced this punishment, but Allah has commanded these creatures
made for Hell, to bear it.
Verse 35

The example of the ultimate garden which has been promised for those who protected
themselves, at the bottoms of which will be rivers flowing. Its fruit are constant (they do not go
bad) and its shade is constant (it will always be there). That is the final home of those who
protected themselves. And the final home of the disbelievers, Fire.
Mathula| Word Analysis

This is something you can visualize. Try to imagine it! Whatever you can imagine, its going to be
far better than that.

Its like being seated under the shade where you have the perfect breeze, the right amount of
sun, a view of the water and all you can think is how perfect this is. In this world our thoughts
immediately go to how we wish everyday could be like this. In Paradise, every day is like this.
Verse 36

And those to whom We have given the book previously (meaning the Jews and Christians), they
are overjoyed at what has been revealed to you, and among the factions there are those who
deny some of it. Tell them, I have been commanded to worship Allah and to not associate
anyone with Him. To Him alone I call, and to Him is the final journey.
The Overjoyed Group

This is when a group of the Christians and Jews come to know that a Messenger has come
confirming what was previously revealed to their ancestors.
This group does not see it as a negation of their faith, but as a confirmation of it.
One Companion (perhaps it was Abu Musa al-Ashari) came to another Companions home and
showed him a letter from his own ancestors who had moved to Madinah specifically because they
believed according to prophecy the final Messenger would come here. They wrote a letter to the
Messenger when they were dying that they came here looking for him and perhaps their
children will see him. How remarkable is that!
The descendants are overwhelmed that they get to see what their ancestors did not get to see.
They get to see a prophecy revealed come to fulfillment six centuries later!
The Denying Group

There is another group that denies some of the message. Denying some of the message means
denying the message. This isnt something you can take a piece-meal from. Its like today when
people say, The Quran has some nice things to say, I hear. Okay, actually of it is nice. We
should not have low esteem about it. Those books have some nice things to say; all nice things are
in this Book.
Keep in mind, the Messenger was not an academic. These scholars of the other faiths were
taking advantage of that fact because they were learned and they could come presenting loopholed arguments. That does not matter. The message presents itself and that is its miracle. Their
arguments were faulty and longwinded. The Messenger presented a message that was simple
and easy to accept because it was true.
Verse 37


And that is how We have sent you an Arabic decisive word. And if you were to follow their empty
desires after knowledge has come to you (the Quran), you will not find any protective friend
with Allah nor will you find a guardian.
Building a relationship with the Quran

The purpose of revelation is to talk to people. You dont have to talk on behalf of it; you just let
it do the talking.
Having a Book as thorough as the Quran is incredible. It presents itself, but it has so much depth
that generations upon generations of scholarship are still not able to exhaust its magnificence. It
is upsetting, however, that some people allow this to deter them from building a personal
relationship with the Quran. You dont need someone else to show you that the Quran is
magnificent. You can connect to It on your own. The Quraysh had no knowledge of scholarship and
yet those people were able to build personal connections with the Book of Allah.
We should be able to turn to the Quran in our moments of happiness and difficulty. Not just that,
but we should make it easy for other people to feel like they can turn to the Quran themselves in
moments of happiness and difficulty.
A Tip for Parents

When you learn something about the Quran, share it with your children in an easy-to-understand
way. If you child comes to you with a problem (e.g. someone was so mean to me today), show
them how the Quran says something about it and how to approach it. Let the word of Allah
become a part of the discussion.
Verse 38:

And We have already sent many messengers from much before you and (they were people just
like you) they had wives and children. And it was not becoming for any messenger to come with a
miracle except by Allahs permission. For every deadline there is a documented time.
Why is Allah mentioning wives and descendants of the previous messengers?

The people would ask the Messenger why Allah had sent a human and not an Angel. Allah is
telling them (through him )that even before, Allah only ever sent humans who also took wives
and had children. Why would it be different now?
For every deadline there is a documented time

Everything has been decreed to happen at a certain point. If Allah has decreed for a miracle to be
shown, then it will happen by the will of Allah. It will not be by the demand of the people.
There is a hint in this that some sign is coming.

Verse 39

Allah obliterates (erases) whatever He wants and He maintains whatever He wants. And in His
possession is the Mother of all Books.
The central book of all revelation and everything is with Allah. This is Lawh al-Mahfuz. All of the
scriptures sent were installments from this Book. The Quran is its final installment. Whatever
Allah chooses from these installments to remain on this Earth, remains. Whatever Allah chooses
from these installments to be erased on this Earth, it will be erased.
Verse 40

And if We were to show you even *some* of the things We have promised them or We were to
take you away completely (if that would happen, these people would be finished)
your only responsibility is to communicate a heart-penetrating message (to them), and leave the
accounting to Us.
There would be no stopping punishment for these people if Allah were to take the Messenger
away from them. Not just that, but only some of what Allah has promised for punishment would
be sufficient in destroying these people. That is the magnitude of Allahs power. If they say again
to let the punishment of Allah come, do not worry.
Verse 41

Havent they seen that We are attacking the Earth, cutting it down (reducing it from all sides)?
And Allah, He is the One Who gives a verdict. There is no one to follow up after His verdict (to
change it). And He is quick in taking the audit.
This is the verse where Allah is going to show the people something. It will not, however, be on
their terms.
Have the people of Makkah not noticed that people are coming from all areas to accept the
message (i.e. Abu Dharr al-Ghifaari who will spread it to his tribe)? Have they not noticed people
are coming from everywhere and will take the message back to their people? Have they not
thought that eventually, the message will have spread everywhere and then the only shrub
needing to be pulled out of the ground will be them?
Verse 42


Those who came much before also plotted and planned; and Allah alone owns the entire plan. He
knows what every single person earns, and the disbelievers will soon know who gets the most
incredible final home.
The Messenger is being told to let the people plot whatever they want. It is as if they are on
an island that is already shrinking.
Verse 43

And the disbelievers said, You are not someone who has been sent. Tell them, Allah is enough
as a witness between me and yourselves, and whoever truly has the knowledge of the Book.
The surah ends on a very important point. Allah could have specified that the disbelievers did not
accept any aspect of belief (e.g. the Hereafter), but He specifically chose their disbelief in the
Messenger of Allah .
Just like imaan is basically in three things (in Allah, risalah, akhirah) so is kufr. Everything else
we know about reality is a byproduct of these three things. This surah is ending on a note about
kufr in risalah.
There may, and there are, people who believe in Allah and the Hereafter, but thats not enough.
If you believe in Allah and the Hereafter, your belief cannot be certified and correct until you
believe in the message sent by Allah about them. This can only be transmitted through someone
Allah Himself has taught that would be a messenger.
Then there are other people who may believe in messengers, but they just do not believe in the
messengership of Muhammad . That is also kufr because we do not get to choose which
messengers we like or do not like; just like the messengers do not get to choose whether they are
messengers or not. There is no choice.
One of the reasons disbelievers reject messengers and that becomes the basis of their disbelief
is authority. In our religion, we say we obey Allah, but practically we are following the Messenger
. We are worshipping Allah and doing as He says, but we are doing it because we were
instructed by the Messenger . That should be a point for us to increase our love for Him ,
not to feel arrogant about accepting authority.
For us to accept the Prophet Muhammad is a lot easier than for the people at that time. We
did not see him as a person sitting and eating lunch beside us or anything else and then come
to us with revelation. It would take an incredible amount of faith for people to hear about
traveling to Jerusalem and then Paradise all within a short span of the night. That is real belief in
the unseen. When you hear a man speak and you know those are not his words. That is real belief
in the unseen.
These are the very things commentators ridicule us for today believing that a man spoke to God
and brought Gods words to us. The Messenger did not just give us the words of God, but he
told us what to do and how to do it. We as human beings even have a hard time listening and

obeying our parents!
None of our confirmation is needed, to affirm the status of Muhammad as the Messenger of
Allah. Allah is sufficient as Witness. Only those people who truly have knowledge of the Book will
realize that the one who came with it can only be a Messenger of Allah. These people will come
forward with their testification.
Conclusion
Throughout the entire surah, the disbelievers were asking the Messenger to have a miracle
revealed for them. Allah mentioned the miracle to them (verse 41): the land around them is
shrinking. This concept of change arising in the Arab lands is what is carried forward in Surat
Ibrahim.
End Ayaat:
A person who commits many sins, who leads the wrong life- if this person turns back to
Allah, his sins are all removed clean slate. No one can stop him or blame him, he has
returned to Allah. Allah swt removes what he wants and keeps what he wants. It is up to
Allah.
Allah says looks at the signs: SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE- every year the earth is drowned
reduced from its edges. The non believers would say Rasool is not a prophet, Allah said
you dont need affirmation from these people. Allah is my witness between you and me.

14. SURAH IBRAHIM [Prophet Ibrahim/Abraham]

Here is a preview for Surat Ibrahim:
The Messenger was constantly reminded to continue conveying the message even if the
people are taunting and disbelieving. He was even given the examples of previous prophets
for motivation. Not just that, but he was told to be like them: patient when times are tough,
grateful when victory comes.
Allah has told the Messenger to work hard like the previous prophets, but the kuffar are also
hard at work just as they have been throughout history. Just like him , they are learning from
their past, but they should also learn from their future. They are rejecting the leader sent to
them in favor of the leaders of their disbelief and these leaders will only lead them to the ruin in
this world and the next which was described in the surah. In contrast, the believers who have
been struggling alongside the Messenger will receive their rewards in Paradise.
Allah then takes the disbelievers back to what they should have learned from history. They took
the blessings Allah had given them in this land and turned it into a center of shirk.
Then, this is the supplication Prophet Ibrahim made for these people. Look at what your father
asked for you to be and what you have become. The only thing they respected was ancestry so
what happened to that in this situation. Where is their loyalty here?
The last passage is just a description of what will happen to these people in Hellfire. They have
become the enemies of their own tradition. This is one of the most graphic passages in the
Quran. It is a warning to the disbelievers, and a support for the believers that the criminals will
not get away with their crimes.
THEMES: Prophet Musa Reminders of previous people Prophet Ibrahims Duà - Judgment day
punishments on judgment day
The book that brings people from darkness to the light.
Each messenger is sent speaking the language of the people
SECTION 2 : Ayaat 7
Bright proofs Revelations
the people would say you are humans like us.the prophets agrees yet reminded the
people they were chosen by Allah to deliver the message.
Trusting Allah swt
If you are grateful- Allah will give you more and more. If you are ungrateful Allahs
punishment is severe. Allah said to bani israeel- if you are ungrateful (Kafaraungratefulness) or if you deny, nothing will happen to Allah- no harm to Allah, you only
harm yourself. Even if every single human did not show gratefulness, allahs power does not
decrease.
LESSON: do Shukr!! Be not like the Bani Israeel
SECTION 3:
Disobedient people were saying to the Prophet, we will expel you from our land or you
come back to our religion. Otherwise you will be thrown out.

This happens to Imaams- in masjids they are sacked. Look at the Prophets maqaam
compared to the Imaam. Even Rasool-Allah
When Rasool-Allah was leaving makkah, he pointed to the kaba and said oh Allahs house,
nothing is more beloved to me than you, but my own people have driven me out of here.
The revelation came that Allah would destroy the wrong doers- dont worry about the,
Allah mentions the severe punishment- Given a disgusting drink (puss) in hellfire they will
not be able to drink it. They see death around them but they will not die- death is only
once. There are severe punishments for them, their deeds are like sand- they flow away,
they are crushed and destroyed. It will not help them in the hereafter. Dont be one of
the weak, who do not stand up for their deen. tHE WEAK people will say to the strong we
were your followers, can you give us some relief. The people will reply, Allah guided us,
and we guided you.
SECTION 4: Ayaat 22
Allah uses a simile of a tree- the good word and the bad word.
Shaytaan gives a statement: When the matter is finished, he says Allah promised you and I
promised you. Whose promise was more valuable. Shaytaan says this on judgment day.
..verily Allah promised you and Allahs promise was true- Shaytaan says this! shaytaan
made a false promise, you forgot allahs true promise. Shaytaan says he had no power over
us, but he influenced us. He will say dont blame me, blame yourself. You ran to my offer
and left Allahs offer. I cant help you and you cant help.
Shaytaan said you made me equal to Allah, The punishment is for the wrongdoers.
If you value the Kalima, Allah will keep you steadfast in this dunya, and you will receive
the reward for it in the akhirah.
LESSON: Live by the kalima and take it with you!
LESSON: Only you are to blame for actions. Take heed now.
SECTION 5
Allah swt speaks of his favours, he created all these things to serve humanity- and how
mankind is not grateful
Hasan albasri says the dont fear, but remember this one question and prepare for it, Allah
will ask you, I was for you, you tell me, for whom were you? Everything is for you, so to
whom do you belong?
Countless blessings- Allah says count them- you cant count them all
Allah speaks of peoples behaviour
SECTION 6: Ayaat:
Prophet Ibrahims story
Ibrahims Duà- to be saved from shirk

He brought his children to Bakkah (mecca) where there is no food, Ibrahim made Duà
that there are provisions for them there.
He prayed for tawfiq for his establishment of prayer for himself and his children.
SECTION 7: Ayaat 42
Judgment day
The severity of judgment day is mentioned, the different situations people will be in.

THEMES: Akhirah (life after death) Creation Heaven & Hell Prophet Luts wife Prophet

to you. Allah was defending Rasool-Allah. People tried to destroy the Quran, Allah is its
protector and will protect it until judgment day
SECTION 2: Ayaat
Scientific miracles: Allah swt describes the stars in the skies- how they are made in
constellations, the mountains that hold the earth in place like pegs

earth, life does not survive without it.
Positive na dnegative charge in the clouds are mentioned in the Quran- then it rains.
SECTION 3:
Creation of Jinn and man is mentioned
Jin- smokeless fire Man-black clay/mud
Shaytaan used that word first, that you are smelly -_SECTION 4:
Rewards are mentioned in Jannah
Prophet Lut (As) and his wife who looked back the people being destroyed.
Allah says we snatched out from their chest, the wrath they had for their brothers.
Humans are such strong creatures, they even take hatred with them in the next life, Allah
takes it out before they enter Jannah- they are sitting and facing each other on thrones in
Jannah
Stories of prophet Hud and Saleh are mentioned again
Ayaat 67 & 68 = the criminals behaviour is mentioned, the people of the city came showing
joy, they were not feeling shame in their wrong actions. They were showing pride. Prophet
Lut told the people not to make him feel shameful and not to degrade him in front of his
guests (the angels they wanted to take).
They drowned in their own intoxication, and they were wandering in it.
Allah destroyed them
SECTION 6: Ayaat 80
Allah says there was no benefit for them with the evil actions they were doing, in the end
there is no help with these worldly things.
Allah reminded the prophets- not to feel sorry for them, but show mercy to the believers.
Open your heart to them and welcome them smiling, and give them peace and calm and
pass it onto their chest/hearts. They were cruel towards the Quran and did not accept it.
Allah says we know your chest tightens over what they say- but what should you do? Glorify
Allah and prostrate to him, worship Allah until death comes. Not here and there, keep
praying until the last breath. Birth-to death, live by the Kalima.

16. SURAH AN-NAHL [The Bee]

THEMES: Nature Creation Heaven & Hell Mushrikeen Creation of man Purpose of
Quran SECTION 1: Ayaat 1
The bee has a perfect navigation system, even if they are miles away they know where
their hives are. They have this system in them even though they are so small. The bee is
guided by this system from Allah, it will not make any mistakes in its travels.
Allah speaks of the animals he created to benefit humans.
LESSON: Reflect! Even the smallest insect is sign for the believer and shows Allahs
greatness
SECTION 2
Different bounties are mentioned. Stars guided people in ships,
Allah mentions he placed the mountains in the earth for balance, like nails so the earth
stays in place. After shocks after an earth quake that take place cause imbalance on the
earth, the mountains help fix the earth and re-balance itself.
After mentioning these blessings, Allah says you cannot count all the bounties.
SECTION 3 & 4: Ayaat 26
Allah does not like the proud.
People will take their sin with them all the way up to Judgment day and the sin of those
they misled.
Similarly doing good and guiding others to good will give you more Hasanah.
LESSON: Be careful what you say to others and how you influence themAre you a good
influence or bad?
When the evils souls are being taken out, they will try to escape and ask the angels why
are you taking us like this. Allah says, He knows what you were doing whether you say it or
not.
SECTION 5: Ayaat 35
Every nation received a messenger

All Allah has to say is Be and it happens Anything we intend, our saying to it is thatwe
say Be it becomes at once. (16:40)
Will is different, Raza is different and knowledge is different. People have
misconceptions about this, they think Allah wills so they do wrong- its not like this. We
have free will limited free will.
Raza = what Allah swt has provided- pleasure of Allah swt.

Knowledge = Allahs knowledge is unlimited- he has knowledge of everything
Will = Allah has already written everything and everything happens according to his plan, but
humans can make decisions too.
Allah swt mentions not doing shirk hundreds of times

Allah swt speaking of shirk again, Allah does not like it when someone associates
partners with him. Deen is for Allah swt.
Every messenger bought this message of Tawheed.
Allah mentions peoples nature again and again, so they can get a lesson from this.
Whenever difficulty is removed, these people start associating partners with him.
soon you will come to know.
Allah swt speaks of the pre-Islamic Arabs when they would give birth to daughters and
how they were ashamed.
and when the good tiding of the birth of a daughter is conveyed to any of them their
face become black all day long and suppressed anger. (16:58)
Daughters are a gift, dont look down on this. Rasool-Allah àlayhis-salamhad four
daughters. The reward of looking after a daughter- if anyone raises them well and looks
after them, they will take him to paradise.
Allah swt said if I punished people because of their sins, there would be no body left on
the earth. Everyone commits sins, aside from the prophets. Allah swt says he ignores it,
and delays it. Maybe we will repent in this time.
Allah remarks how these people say Allah has daughters, yet they dislike their own
daughters.
They do wrong, yet they still have hopes that they will receive rewards/ and their
tongues tell lies that for them is good (16:62)
Bees and honey
There is a lesson in animals for us, And no doubt there is a lesson for you in the
cattle. We give you drink of what is in their bellies (16:66)
From their blood and filth, Allah swt makes something beautiful and halaal for us
(milk).
Are you allowed to work where there is haraam?
If you yourself open a place of haraam then it is bad. But if it is mixed- then Allah
make it halal for you? Allah has the power to bring halal out for you.
Allah speaks of the halal things he has provided for us
Honey- there is a Shifa in this for everything.
Allah gave the example of one slave man who does not have anything to spend, and
another who has lots of wealth who spends secretly and aparantly.
Allah is saying there are two types of people- one are allahs messsngers and Awliyah.
They have a light. Allah gifted them an ability, they transfer this light to others. This
person guides people to justice and the right path
The other does not have anything, he is empty handed, while the other has a full hand.
He is useless and causes problems wherever he goes. He does not bring anything good.
They are not equal. Totally different.
Allah speaks of creation of man, when he was born and he did not know anything, you are
not born a scholar. Everyone is equal. You have to work hard and gain knowledge.
LESSON: Work hard, and gain knowledge, we are not born with it

..while you knew nothing and gave you ears and eyes and hearts so that you may be
grateful. (16:78)
You were given ears to listen- from a young age you can hear. And then use your eyes to
see things.
They recognise the bounties of Allah- yet they deny them- most of them are disobedient.
The prophets will give a witness against the people
The prophet Muhammad saw will be the final witness, the final witness is very important.
Work hard so the prophet can be a witness FOR you, not against.
Allah gives the example of someone who works hard, but has broken her yarn into
pieces after it has become strong. (16:92)
Dont waste your good works by showing off. Do good works and then forget about it.
Whatever is with you will be destroyed whatever is with Allah will remain forever.
Shaytaan has power over some of them, those who turn their face away form Allah,
Shaytaan hunts for them. The bird in the air will not be caught, the bird that comes down
will get caught.
If a person is flying with the light of Allah he will not be trapped by Shaytaan.
Makkans were accusing Rassol Allah àlayhis-salamfor teaching at night in someones

home, this person was a non-Arab. They were accusing him of learning Arabic from this
person
One young companion was caught who was going towards the prophet. They asked him if
he believed in the prophet. He said no, and released him.
He came back to the Muslims, and they spread rumours about him. The prophet was in
Madina, and said he swore by Allah that he had imaan from head to toe. This man felt
ashamed, and said he left my Imaan to reach you, some left their homes, families and
wealth etc. His intention was to reach the prophet so he lied to the Kafir. Allah speaks of
him in this Ayaat 16:106 Whoso denies Allah after believing in Him save him who is
compelled and his hear is firm in belief.. 16:106
LESSON: if you have to deny your faith to save yourself, you are allowed. Allah knows the
secrets of your heart. Sometimes you have to do things that may seem strange to others as
there is a greater wisdom behind it
Halal and haraam are mentioned
Ibrahim as has a very high status, he was made a friend of Allah

Ibrahim alone was a nation (an entire nation) because of his status.
Speak to people and teach them with good sweet words.
No doubt Allah is with those who fear and do good. 16:128

17. SURAH BANI ISRAEEL [The children of Israeel] also called Isra
THEMES: Jews- Prophet Musa Makkans challenging Rasool-Allah
Musas people are mentioned with the Makkans, look at the similarities in their attitude and
stubbornness. They questioned everything!
Allah speaks of the Isra Wal Miraj Holy is he who carried his bondman by night from the
sacred Mosque to the Aqsa Mosque around which we have put blessings that might show
him our grand sign No doubt he is the hearing, seeing. (17:1)
Allah speaks of the Ban Israeel- Musa (as)s people. They received the book from Allah and
guidance.
(17:7) If you do good its for yourself, if you do wrong, you only do bad for yourself.
Allah mentions punishment and reward together. Good and bad are mentioned together.
Allah swt is forgiving but he is also Jabbar and Qahar. Allahs punishment is also severe.
Judgment day- self assessment.
Allah swt says It will be said to him read your book. Today you yourself is good for your
reckoning. (17:14) Your skin will speak, your eyes will speak, your whole body will be a
witness against you.
Take yourself into account before Allah takes you into account.
(17:23-24) To be good and humble to parents, as they raised us when we were young.
Rahma. Always show Rahma.
Tawheed and looking after parents is mentioned in the same Ayaat. It shows the
importance of parents. Not to even say the smallest thing to upset them.
Ufin- a faint cry.
LESSON: Keyword is Rahma.
Major sins are mentioned killing, adultery etc.
Dont be nice and polite to opp. Gender
Not eating the wealth of orphans, and dont give less to people when giving a measure.
Not to be nosy and arrogant.
Allahs Qadr is mentioned if they are truthful (Mushrik) then the throne wouldnt have
been for Allah alone. Alone is high above what they say about him.
When Allah is mentioned alone in the Quran, they turn away with hatred. Sometimes we
accidently do this, if there is a gathering where Quran is mentioned, they want to leave
that gathering. Dont behave like this, Allah does not like it. Some people dont like Allahs
Dhikr- bad behaviour.

Bad behaviour- when people whisper and start talking to each other, Allah does not like
this. Dont behave like them, listen when you are in a good gathering. Dont say anything
to your fellow friend or complain.
LESSON: Hearts should love Allahs remembrance.
SECTION 6 & 7: Ayaat 53- 60-70
Reminders of previous lessons (Allah uses repetition to remind us of important lessons.
(17:56-57) People seek refuge in besides Allah, and they still hope in his mercy. They are
still seeking his refuge from the wrong way.
Allah speaks of Adam (as) and how all the angels prostrated to Adam, and how Shaytaan
challenges Allah, do you think you honoured him above me? If you give me time until
judgment day I will assuredly crush his children but a few.(17:62)
Will you be easy to crush? Or be strong and firm?
Allah says try hard, but there is no way you will get my servants. There is no way for
Shaytaan if you are strong servant of Allah.
SECTION 8: Ayaat 71 Whoever is blind in this world will be blind in the hereafter. Metaphorical language is used,
to say if you are not taking the wisdom and advice now, you will be lost in the hereafter.
On judgment day you will be with your leader. Or that person you love. Who is your leader?
Is it Rasool-Allah?
Importance of Fajr prayer and Tahajud prayer are mentioned.
Tahajud prayer was Fard on Rasool-Allah
Maqam-e-Mahmood, is the rank for Rasool, the highest rank. He will be on this Maqaam on
judgment day.
And we sent down in the Quran that which is a healing and mercy to the believers
(17:82)
And undoubtedly we have in this Quran described every kind of sayings in various ways,
then most of the men accepted nothing but being ungrateful.(17:89)
The people asked Rasool about the soul, so Allah gave the response in the Quran.
They kept saying they wanted a sign- such as a fountain to come out from the earth, as
their hearts were attached to worldly things. They wanted a prophet who was wealthy and
came with everything, then they would accept him.
or you have a house of gold and you ascent up to the heaven (17:93)
They also said to bring Allah down to them, then they would believe in him.
Look at the humble response of Rasool-Allah, Glory be to my Lord, who am I but a man
sent by Allah. (17:93)
Allah said if you got power, you would have been stingy.

Musa (As) and the Pharaoh
Pharaoh said to Musa, you are hypnotised. Musa said to Pharaoh none sent these down
except the lord of the heavens and earth
Musa said you will be destroyed. Musa (as)s words came true.
He wanted musa and his people to leave the town, instead Allah drowned pharaoh and his
people.
Signs of believers: They weep, they prostrate, their hearts increase in leaning.
How to recite Quran: Quietly and not too loud.
- End of Surah -

18. SURAH AL-KAHF [The Cave]

THEMES: The people in the cave Other stories of Prophets Prophet Musa Judgment
Day
This is the third Manzil of the Quran
SECTION 1 & 2: Ayaat 1-12-17
No crookedness in the Quran, it warns the disbelievers and gives glad tidings to the
believers.
We may test them as to which of them is best in works. (18:7)
Did you know that the men of the cave and of the forests side, were of Our wonderful
signs. (18:9)
Allah (swt) is telling us the story of the people in the cave.
They were a few youth who believed in Allah, Allah (swt) increased them in their Imaan
and strengthened them. They had strong faith and left the community as everyone around
them was doing Shirk. They left the city, and they belonged to the Royal family at that
time. The king was forcing others to polytheism. The King said he would kill these youth if
they did not adopt the religion. They were only a few.
They made Duaa for Allahs mercy, and that Allah eases their situation. So Allah (swt)
gave them shelter in the cave.
Allah (swt) that He (swt) increased them in guidance. If you truly believe in Allah, he will
support you and strengthen you. The truth always takes over. Whenever Islam was
challenged Allah gave people strong Imaan and Allah helped them take over.
Shah Abdul Aziz- A person challenged the man to throw the Quran and a bible in the fire.
Shah said both of us jump into it holding our books to our chest, whoevers does not burn
will be true. The other man ran away. Shah said to the people I heard a voice saying that
the fire will be cool like it was for Ibrahim (as).
Biggest Dajal is on the inside- the Nafs. Start practising then face Dajal. Whoever recites
this on a Friday, Allah swt will protect you from the Fitna of Dajal. Dajal means deceptionworldly deception. The word Zina comes in the Quran many times.
Allah swt said he made everything on the earth beautiful and attractive, to test and trial
the people. Zinat in urdu to describe something beautiful.
LESSON: Make Duàa Allah saves us form the deception of the Nafs and Shaytaan.
No one found the people in the cave, the King passed away and time had gone past. Allah
swt put them to sleep. They thought they slept for a few hours, or a day. One of them
went out to get food for them, he went out to discover time had changed. His coins were
old compared to theirs.
People dispute over how many people there were, even though these people dont practise
Deen, yet they worry about these mediocre things. Someone rang Mufti Saab and asked
was it a black or white dog with them? He said read your five prayers and leave this. A sign
of weak faith, these people who indulge in useless talk.
Allah knows the details of the story. Allah says he knows the exact number. Why doesnt
he tell us? The lesson is greater than these small issues.
LESSON: Allah swt will protect you if you are a truthful person. Allah wil
strengthen you and increase your Imaan.

And remember your Lord, when you forget (18:24)

People were asking many questions about the people of the cave, Dhul Qurnayn etc, Allah
swt dont dwell in these matters too much. And Allah says clearly in the Quran always say
InshaAllah If Allahs wills. Everything is through Allahs power.
These people stayed in the save for more than three hundred years.
Allah SWT stay with those people who remember Allah in the morning and in the evening,
purely for the pleasure of Allah. Dont move your eye from them.
Zina is mentioned a few times in this Surah, (18:28)
Allah swt says if you fall for the worldly desires only you are in trouble, and Allah mentions
the rewards and the punishments.
The dialogue between two friends is mentioned, one of the man said to his companion I
have greater wealth than you and am stronger in respect of men. (18:34)
He said, I do not think that it will ever perish. (18: 35)
Arrogance!
The good man said say MashAllah and that Allah swt is the most powerful.
His whole garden was destroyed, his business and property was ruined.
Zina again- wealth and children are a beauty of this world. Judgment day is mentioned,
and how every thing is recorded.
(18:50) Shaytaan was a Jin And remember when we ordered angels to prostrate before
Adam then all prostrated save Iblees. He was of the Jin (18:50)
People will stand at the edge of hell fire. Allah swt there will no help for them and no
chance to be saved.
Allah swt said he gave many different examples and stories for people to understand. Yet
the people still argued back and did not accept.
The wrong doers are those who ignore the signs and do not take the Naseeha (Advice).
There is an appointed time for everyone and everything. This is a fixed time, that none
escape.
Prophet Musa (as) and Khizr story
Prophet Musa (as) was a prophet, but Khizr (as) still had knowledge more than Musa (as).
Despite Khizr (as) having a lower rank than him. A lesson in humility- All knowledge is
from Allah, seek it from everywhere and do not disregard those who are less in rank/age
etc.
Khizr (As) placed some conditions; he told him to be patient and not question.
The people asked Musa (As) who has the most knowledge, Musa said i do. Allah swt did not
like this, so he sent him to kHIZR (as) to teach him a lesson.

LESSON: Khizr said have patience. Knowledge comes with patience.
Imam ahmed bin Hambal, did not teach people for a few weeks, but allowed them to stay
at the Dars. He was watching them to see how they spent their day and night. He who
offered Tahajud prayer and told him to come to the lesson. Those who didnt, he told
them to leave. As he said I want to teach those people who have time for Allah.
Now things change. Now students put conditions on teacher, hence we dont see the
Barakah in things. People would come to Shuyookh to gain light from Allah.
Khizr (as) placed holes in a poor familys boat. Musa did not understand why he damaged
their property. He did it so the evil King would not take their faulty boat Khizr (as) killed a
young innocent boy, again Musa did not understand why. A wall was falling, and Khizr just
touched it and it fell into place. Musa (as) asked why you didnt ask for a wage.
Story of Dhul Qurnayn
Dhul Qurnayn was a very pious person, people call him Alexander the Great, but they are
not the same person.
Dhul Qurnayn was a king, but he listened to the peoples request about them.
Yajuj and Majuj- people say different things about these people. Allah swt knows best,
and he knows who they are.
He built an iron wall with the people to stop these tribes (Yajuj and Majuj) from causing
destruction.
(18:109) Say you, if the sea be the ink for the worlds of my lord, then necessarily the
sea would be exhausted and the words of my Lord would not come to an en, though We
may bring the like of it for help.
The ocean will finish, but Allahs praise will never finish.
Those people whose efforts are destroyed in this people, these people still think they are
doing good. How? By achieving worldly success. People may praise him, yet he is doing
wrong. When one earns haraam and feeds his family with this, he is feeding his family fire
and coal. You worked hours and hours for the Dunya, but you dont pray for five minutes.
They think they are doing good, but they are in the biggest loss. They have no value at all
on judgment day.
Then Allah mentions the good people.
Rasool-Allah mentions he is man like them, and he brings the message of Tawheed.

19. SURAH MARYAM [Mary/Maryam (as)]

THEMES: Zakariya Yahya Maryam Prophet Isa Prophet Ibrahim
Islam respect other religions, Christians revere Mary, and Allah (Swt) dedicated a whole
chapter on her.
Zakaria (as) wanted a child to carry on the message, not for themselves. But to carry the
message of Allah. Zakarias son was Yahya. He made a Duàa for a child. He knew he was
old and his wife was barren. Zakaria did not understand, Allah swt said it is easy for Allah.
Qualities of Yahya are mentioned: He was a pious, soft hearted person. He was obedient to
his person, and was not arrogant.
Maryam (As) was a way from the people and Jibraeel (as) approached her in the form of a
man. She did not understand how she could have a child being unmarried.
She was feeling ashamed, and could not face the people. She was living in the Masjid, but
she went very far to give birth.
How was she feeling? Despite being of such a high maqaam, she was still human.
Oh would that I had died before this and had become a thing forgotten, lost.(19:23)
Allah swt supported her in this difficult time, Allah swt is with his servant. Allah swt
caused a river to flow, and brought down dates for her. Allah told her to shake the tree;
LESSON: You have to put effort in to achieve something.
The Mufasireen (scholars of tafsir) saif the tree was a dry tree. A miracle from Allah.
Allah swt told her to take a vow of silence when returning back to the people.
She pointed to Isa (as), Allah gave him the ability to speak. The first thing he said was
(Inee Abdullah) I am a servant of Allah (19:30)
This is Isa, the son of Maryam, a word of truth in which they doubt. (19:34)

Prophet Ibrahim (as) and His uncle
Differing opinions about Ibrahims father. Some say Aazar was the father, some say he was
the uncle.
Ibrahim (as)s father is Ta His uncle was Aazar. His uncle would sell statues, and worship them.
His uncle shunned him away, yet Ibrahim still remained merciful towards him and said he
pray to Allah for his forgiveness.
We guided and chose. Whenever the verses of the most affectionate are recited to
them they fel down prostrating and weeping. (19: 58)
Many prophets are mentioned, Musa Idrees Nuh Adam Ibrahim Yaqoob Ismail

The qualities of these righteous prophets are mentioned, and then the useless people are
mentioned. Those that forgot the remembrance of Allah.
(19:59) Then after them came degenerate who wasted prayer and followed their lusts,
then soon they will encounter a valley of the hell.
LESSON: Having righteous ancestors does not guarantee your righteousness or
piety. We are ALL relatives of the Prophets, we are all from Adam
Work hard to earn your Jannah. It is not in your blood. Your family tree will not take
you forward.
SECTION 5 : Ayaat 66-82
Allah increases you in guidance And those who got guidance, Allah will increase them in
guidance (19:76) Imaan does not decrease, it increases by Allahs will.
Whenever Quran was revealed to the Makkans, they would say who has more worldly
possessions, they would compare in terms of wealth. So they assumed they were better in
terms of religiosity and respect. Respect in Allahs (metaphorical) hands.
Shaytaan plays with the disbelievers like a child plays with toys, dont allow
Shaytaan to juggle with you. Tu-uza hum aza (19:83)
Those who work hard, Allah swt puts love in their hearts and he will create for you
a good circle of people. Allah is Ar-Rahman, he places Rahma in whoevers heart
he pleases.
- End of Surah -

20. SURAH TA-HA

THEMES: Prophet Musa CENTRE STAGE! Story of Samri. Resurrection.
TAA-HAA The Hikmah behind these letters is known by Allah only

Allah swt reminds Rasool-Allah that this Quran is not sent as a burden, rather an
admonition.
Remove your shoes! Allah speaks of Musa (As) taking his shoes off in the Tuwa valley.
Allah speaks of Himself, Verily I am Allah there is none to be worshipped save He.
Duà of Musa (as): He made Duà Allah swt makes it easy for him to speak, make the
task easy, and to open His chest. (20:25)
As a child Musa (As) was in the pharaohs lap, and was pulling the beads of his beard. The
pharaoh said, I think he may take over my kingdom when he is older.
His wife Asiyah said if this is so, then place coal in front of him and see what he does, then
he placed coal in his mouth and Angel Jibraeel made it cool for him. And his tongue was
damaged. This is one opinion.
Another is he made this Duàa so people understand him better.
LESSON: If you are preaching on a mission, dont show any weakness in the Dhikr
of Allah, call the people with Allahs remembrance.
Prophet Musa (As) and the magicians

Resurrection is mentioned in this Ayaat
The magicians had Imaan in their heart, when Musa (As)s staff turned into a snake. They
left Pharaoh. Allah swt changed their hearts.
We shall never prefer you against these clear evidenced that came to us by our creator
(20:72)
Musa (AS) is a prophet, yet his human nature was still present. When he saw the snake he
was still afraid. Fearing is not a sin, its in our nature.
Your Lord is Rahman.

Samri - this persons story is mentionedhe was a corrupt person. Jibraeel looked after
him.
We sometimes complain about the environment, but Mufti saab said the environment is
in your heart. Look to Asiya (as) and Musa (as), they were living in the Pharaohs house.
Look to your heart, and find your Lord in your heart.
Musa (as) found the calf, and the people began worshiping it.
SECTION 6 & 7: Ayaat 105-115-128
Qiyama is mentioned: all voices will be low, no ones intercession will help, faces will be
cast down, the Muslims not be afraid.
Adam (as)s story is mentioned again.

Shaytaan is your enemy,

Who got sent down to the earth? Adam, Hawa AND Shaytaan. Our enemy was here from
day one.
Some will be raised blind, Allah will say you did not see the signs around you, so Allah will
ignore them on judgment day. He will say O My lord why have you raised me blind while I
possessed sight? (20:125)
Salaah times are mentioned in Ayaat 130.

How can you be patient? Go to Allah and praise him, you will feel peace in your heart.
Dont look to those who are benefitted in this world with luxury lives. Look at those who
have less than you.

21. SURAH ANBIYAAH [The Prophets]

THEMES: Prophets Purpose of Quran Tawheed Akhirah Judgment Day RisalahProphet Ibrahim Prophet Sulayman.

good deeds. Thats up to the Abd-Allah to ask Him.

was emotional and cried on earth." The Prophet's reply: All the angels in Heaven

Surah Ash-Shua`ra = The Poets

Chapter26:227verses11Rukuhs
Themes: Many prophetic stories. Musa, Pharoah dialogue.
Beware of blessing salam after Pharoah. Blessed pharaoh farmaya but Musa just said?
(lol). Mufti talks about Maulanas verbal slip-up.
Very fluent, short verses. Linguistically strong surah. Another challenge to the poets in the
literary form. Why do Arabs call others ajami (foreign)? Others dont speak the same way.
Everyone has this claim over their language. You cant write poetry like us. Allah created all
the languages therefore there is sweetness in all languages. Allah revealed in Arabic, Quran
saved Arabic, Arabic didnt give the fluency to it.
Today nobody understands Shakespeare. Quran revealed long time ago but the standard is still
higher than everything else. Quran saved Arabic language. The way it was spoken with
RasoolAllah.
Section 1 AYAH 3:
You will destroy yourself Allah said to Rasool. Dont destroy your life. People asked silly things
and he, peace be upon him, never said no. They even said wrestly me. Prophet said go away
,Im not a wrestler. Why wrestle me? Wrestler (the best one) said if you beat me, Ill follow you.
Sahabh worried that wrestler would harm him. Scared. Prophet Muhammad defeated him once,
wrestler said not ready. Prophet was sat on his chest!
Second time: Locked him d own again! Companions stared. Prophet returned, Rukana was
walking behind him. He said, Dont worry , hes your brother now!

o Every single nation is praising Ibrahim. We belong to him. A sign that his Duà is
accepted. True leaders of Muslim.
95: Army of Iblees, all in Hell, arguing
Ayah 116 - Story of Noah people wanted to stone him.

No hierarchy system in Islam. Allah gives status to whomever is closest to Rasool-Allah to
whomever is a true believer. Like Sayyidina Bilal, stood on Kabah, giving Adhaan, that was
his status.
People of Aad
Ayah 128: Street boys are mentioned (again)

34. SURAH SABA [Sheba]

THEMES: Prophet Sulayman Jinn Iblees Judgment Day

Ayaat 1-9-21
Fourth part of the Quran that begins with Alhamdulilah. Quran has many divisions, the
Alhamdulilah is one division.
People are confused as to how they are to be brought back to life in the same way and
shape.
We recycle paper to make paper again. Allah swt is more powerful so why can he not bring
us back to life.
Allah swt mentions Dawud (As) and how Allah gave him such a high status. The creation
were coming towards Allah with Dawud.
The prophet said in hadith, Allah likes those who do their job with perfection and dont
show any laziness. They do their duty properly.
Sulayman (as) had a kingdom; his food is also mentioned. They would have very big pots of
food, Allah swt says most humans are ungrateful.
Prophet Sulayman (As) ordered the Jinn to do a job, he was leaning on his stick whilst
sitting on his throne. He passed away, and remained in that position. The Jinn did not
know, and they carried on working. If the Jinn knew the soul left Sulayman (As) they would
have left their work. So Allah mentions this, as people assume Jinn know everything.
Allahs true servants have more knowledge than Jinn.
Other nations are mentioned, who were given many things but they were disobedient so
Allah sent a flood to them and they were destroyed.
Ayaat 22-30-36
And Allah is the great judge. The All Knowing. (34:26)

Allah speaks of previous nations that denied their messengers.
Prophets role: He is a messenger for mankind.

say if you were not on earth we would not have followed you. They will feel regret when
they say the punishment.
Ayaat 37-45-54
And your wealth and your children are not capable of bringing us near to Us. (34:37)
Allah mentions that reality this Dunya and its people will not bring you closer to Allah.
Piety in hearts will bring you closer to Him. Dont spend time hoarding wealth, and waste
time with others. Allah swt likes it when families come together, Rasool-Allah saw said the
best joke is the one couples spend together. But dont forget Allah and the teachings of
Allah. Family is important but Allah is No. 1. Use the Quran and Hadith for guidance with
family/marriage.
Study the Prophets life and how he would help his wives and children and spend time with
them.
None will have power on Judgment day, nor do they have power in this Dunya.
(Ayaat 39-40) Allah swt will not decrease your wealth, your wealth will increase when you
give charity, Allah swt will spend on you. He will compensate you. Charity never brings
poverty.

function. (40:12)
Ayaat 19- 26

on the people, any new person who entered Makkah covered their ears.
Story of Tufayl, he did this, and listened to Rasool-Allah with one ear, when he heard the
Surah the words went straight to his heart and he did his Shahadah there and then.

Section 1
Ayah 16 Dislike towards women; killing their own daughters and shameful for having
them. Allah gives reward for anyone who raises daughters in the correct way.
Fatima is of daughters, Like my heart, a piece of my heart. Rasool-Allah loved her.
Whenever she attended he stood up. Therefore we love and look our daughters. Take the
idea out of our community.
Ayah 22 - People are proud about wealth.
Ayah 25: Allahs reply.
Section 2 To ayah 24
Taking daughters for themselves (for Allah)

21: Are they following a different Quran/Text
22: We are following the forefathers footsteps
Section 3 Ayah 25
Ayah 31: questioning the nature of Quran, why didnt it get sent from the two cities
Ayah 26 - Ibrahims claim: Disclaimer (!) I am living with you but not of your idol
worshipping.
Ayah 31: Why revealed to a rich man from 2 cities. Allah divides His Mercy to Whom He
wills.
Ayah 32: Did they distribute the mercy of Allah? RasoolAllah was asked, what would you
take, prophethood, poverty, kingdom. HE replied, I want to be a servant (without wealth).
He was a Fakiir prophet, not a poor prophet. Not in poverty. Poverty means someone
hasnt got anything, but RasoolAllah had EVERYTHING! Example, when he raised his hand
in Salah, When I was in prayer the Paradise was brought near to me and I Wanted to pick
a grape for you but then left it, for LATER!
Remember: Not poverty. A Fakeer. (Choosing to live simply)
Ayah 35: The hereafter is BETTER than this worldly stuff. Whoever lives in Ghafla, away
from Dhikr, the Shaytaan is his friend. They will stop them from remembering Allah,

Pharoah bluffs his people into thinking Musa is not a prophet Ayah 53
o Why arent the bangles? accusation

o Why am I not The Prophet? Im the pharaoh! Abusive language to Prophet Musa.
Musa belongs to Bani Isreal. Pharoah said hes not legible to become prophet. Wheres his
gold? Ayah 51: Its my kingdom. Wheres the bling?
53: Chains are a sign of infamousness. The same sign on J. Day. Noble people do not wear
crappy necklaces, bling etc.
55 Allah took retribution from Pharaoh. Hence they were drowned.
