Surat YasinJuz 23 begins with Surat Yasin, it’s an early Makkan Surah. The Prophet ﷺ called it “The Heart of the Quran”. Its central themes are proofs for the doctrines of Tawhid, Risalah and Akhirah. It opens by reassuring the Messenger ﷺ of the importance of his role in guiding humanity and laments the history of human disobedience. The chief reason identified for disbelief is arrogance reflected in human stubbornness. The story of three messengers, who were rejected by the people of their town, is told to warn the disbelievers. The brave supporter in the story, who stands up for the messengers, symbolises the small band of Muslims in Makkah, thereby reassuring them of Divine Help.The second section of the Surah describes Allah’s amazing creative power and invites the reader to reflect on creation: a marvel of incredible complexity and beauty. Attention is drawn to the lifeless earth and how it comes to life after rain, concluding that this is how Allah will bring the dead to life..Surat As-Saffat – Arranged in RowsJuz 23 continues with Surat as-Saffat. Its central theme is also proving the truthfulness of the Islamic doctrines: Tawhid, Risalah, and Akhirah. It opens with three attention-grabbing oaths that describe the perennial heavenly battles between the angels and Satan comparing them with the earthly battles between the Prophets and their communities. Six stories of the Prophets describe their courageous efforts to guide humanity. The dream of Ibrahim and his willingness to sacrifice points to the inner battle between the love of children versus the love of Allah.Two scenes from Judgement Day are described: leaders and their followers at loggerheads, blaming each other for their dreadful fate. A pious person finds his friend in hell and reminds him of how he tried to misguide him, but failed in doing so. Zaqqum, the food of the people of Hell is a tree that resembles the desert cactus and has a poisonous sap with a foul smell which causes blisters and death. The Surah returns to the angels and how they are organized in ParadiseSurat SaadJuz 23 continues with Surat Ṣaad, an early-Makkan Surah. It opens by describing the role of the Quran as a reminder, creating awareness and consciousness of a greater reality. This is developed by relating the stories of previous communities and the tireless efforts of the Prophets, starting with an account of the excellent qualities of Dawud and his son Sulayman. They were rulers and pious servants of Allah.The heartbreaking story of the suffering of Prophet Ayyub concludes the Surah. According to Tabari, Satan surmised that Ayyub would not remain faithful if he encountered difficulties. Allah allowed Satan to test him. So, disaster struck Ayyub: his house subsided, his livestock was killed, his family members died in an accident and he became ill with an infectious disease so that people abandoned him. Satan also attempted to shake Ayyub’s faith through his wife, when she put forward the idea that he must sacrifice a baby goat for Satan if he wanted to recover. Ayyub refused to do this.Surat al-Zumar – the CrowdsJuz 23 continues with Surat al-Zumar. It reinforces belief in the Oneness of Allah and the dreadful consequences of denying Him. Professor Sells eloquently captures the mood of that early time, he says: What gives the early Makkan Suras their depth, psychological subtlety, texture and tone is the way the future is collapsed into the present; the way the day of reckoning is transferred from the fear and hope of a moment in the future to a sense of reckoning in the present moment. The centrality of the day of reckoning to the early revelations is based on a prophetic impulse to remind humanity of the moment of truth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Surat al-Ahzab continuedBackground to the Battle of the TrenchWhen the Prophet ﷺ heard about the Makkan plan, he called a war council to discuss the impending danger. Salman, the Persian, suggested digging a trench between the long stretches of fortress-like houses on the outskirts of the city, whilst in the northwest, there were high rocks that were difficult to cross. So, a trench five meters wide, five meters deep, and seven kilometres long was dug in three weeks.When the army of Confederates reached the outskirts of Madinah, they were baffled to see the trench. They camped outside the city near Uhud and laid siege. The only way to enter the city was if the Jews of Banu Qurayda were to attack from the inside. So, the Quraysh and the Jews of Banu Nadhir put together a strategy to win over Banu Qurayda and eventually a pact was agreed. But the plan went horribly wrong, and the confederates received no help from them. The siege was difficult to maintain, and the winter nights were long and bitterly cold. A violent sandstorm blew the tents. The camels and the horses of the Makkan forces ran wild. After three weeks, they fled. This Divine Intervention saved the Muslims.This was a testing time for the Muslims. It required wise and brave leadership and committed followers. A large part of the Surah deals with the personal life and wonderful character of the Prophet ﷺ, and his relationships with the disciples and his family. He is addressed on six occasions with the refrain “O Prophet!’ to bolster his morale, reassuring him of his unique position in Allah’s sight, and encouraging him to lead confidently. Surat al-Saba – the Kingdom of SabaJuz 22 continues with Surat al-Saba. The central theme is the evidence for the resurrection. The scenes of Judgement Day are described vividly as though they are unfolding before the reader’s eyes. Allah’s Glory and Power are emphasised as humanity will stand in the Divine court.Dawud and Sulayman were gifted by Allah. They were appreciative so, Allah rewarded them even more. By contrast, the people of Saba, who were blessed with a dam, dykes, fertile land and economic prosperity, were ungrateful. Thus inviting Divine retribution. The dam burst and the overwhelming flood destroyed everything in its wake. This devastated the agricultural land and that left them impoverished. Since the Makkans were familiar with this story the Quran doesn’t give too much detail.Surat al-Fatir; the Originator of The UniverseJuz 22 continues with Surat al-Fatir. This is an early Makkan Surah. The central theme is Allah’s countless gifts: the wonders of His creation in nature are a manifestation of his Kindness. “People remember Allah’s gifts. Is there a Creator besides Allah who provides you from heaven and the Earth?” (3). Intelligent people can’t fail to see the created world as the handiwork of Allah. For them, Allah is everywhere, “Of all his servants, only the knowledgeable fear Allah. Allah is the Almighty, the Forgiver” (28).The Makkan people were stubborn in their denial of the Prophet ﷺ, so he is reassured, this is the wretched face of humanity: “If they deny you, don’t worry; those before them also denied the messengers who came with clear signs, books and enlightening revelation” (25). He is told to be patient and resilient since Allah gives respite and time for people to think again and again. The stubborn disbelievers are given a warning whilst He is the Kindest, He is an Avenger who takes exact retribution. “Were Allah to punish people for the wrong they did; He wouldn’t have left a single creature on the surface of the Earth” (45).

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

An-NurIn the Quran, Allah refers to himself as An-Nur, which means "The Light" or "The Illuminating". An-Nur is the light of the heavens and earth, and it clarifies and reveals both spiritually and physically. The word "Noor" comes from the root letters "noon-waw-raa" and has four main meanings:To give light or illuminateTo make something visible, reveal, or clarifyTo be flaming, blazing, and apparentTo enlighten or give advice In the Islamic context, "Noor" refers to the "cold light of the night" or "heatless light", which is the light of the moon.

The chapter encourages sincere repentance, which some say can lead to the following benefits:Allah pardons: Allah forgives sins of those who repentRelieves anxiety: Allah relieves repentant from anxiety, worries, and problemsErases poverty: Allah reduces poverty and directs people to better opportunitiesAngels invoke blessings: Angels invoke blessings on those who recite the final two verses frequentlySeek forgiveness: It is a means of seeking forgiveness from AllahIt is the only Surah of the Quran that does not begin with Bismillah, the usual opening formula, In the name of God, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate. It deals with almost the same topics as those dealt with in Surat al-Anfal.Surah Al-YunusSurah Yunus, also known as Chapter 10 of the Quran, is significant because it emphasizes Allah's acceptance of repentance. The chapter also discusses monotheism, the authenticity of the Quran, and the lack of permanence of the world.Surah Yunus is about polytheists, and includes stories of the people of Jonah, who initially rejected Jonah's message but later repented and believed. The chapter also refutes pagan claims against the Quran, and urges the Prophet to be patient when faced with denial. The chapter also mentions that those who recite Surah Yunus once or twice every three months will be placed among the close ones on the Day of Judgement. Surah Yunus also includes stories of Noah's people and Pharaoh's people as cautionary tales to those who deny the Quran. The chapter also instructs Muhammad to ask other people of the book, such as the Jews and Christians, if he has any doubts about the truth of what has been revealed to him.Surah Al-HudSurah Hud, or chapter 11 of the Quran, is a series of stories about prophets who warned their people to follow God, but the people continued to defy God, and God punished and killed them. The chapter also describes the coming of mass punishments triggered by divine displeasure, and the day of judgment and its outcome of individual reward and punishment. Surah Hud also tells believers about their reward and heaven, and warns the disbelievers of their punishment if they keep committing sins and not believing in Allah and his prophets.The chapter was revealed in Mecca during the last years of the Prophet's stay there. It contains 123 verses in 10 sections, and the Prophet said that Surah Hud made him age because it contains a verse that recommends perseverance and persistence. The chapter is named after the prophet Hud, but the narrative of Hud comprises only a small portion of the chapter. It also tells stories of the prophets Noah, Saleh, Ibrahim, Lot, Shuayb, and Moses.

The primary lessons that we might learn from Al-Maidah are as follows:We are acknowledged with the dignity of Emaan, as ALLAH addressed with us as (يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا).The terms and conditions of any contract must be honored. We learned about fulfilling our promises with everyone, even he/she is a Muslim or non-Muslim. We should also fulfill the agreement with ALLAH as He declared that this is halal and this is haram. We have to follow it. The satisfying contracts and commitments are a symbol of a believer. If a person does not bring about their promise, it specifies an issue with the Emaan of that person. It’s also a similarity with the attributes of a hypocrite. We have grasped about the lawful contracts, whether you do it with an individual or at a collective level, whether it is in written form or verbal, long-term contract or short-term contract, you must fulfill all your commitments. Hunting is prohibited if you are in the condition of Ihraam or in the zone of Haram. You may ask why hunting is not allowed in the state of Ihraam? Remember, in those circumstances, you might focus on the fulfillment of the ALLAH’s commands and not get diverted. We must show keen respect and honor toward Haram (Mecca).As we are the creation of ALLAH so that we must follow all His commands.Surah Al-An'amSurah Al-An'am, or chapter 6, of the Quran, is important for its guidance and wisdom on monotheism, prophethood, creation, accountability, and ethical living.
