In Juz 22, we see the completion of Surah Azhab the place Allah SWT speaks to the wives of the Prophet and the family of the Prophet. We see right here that their standing and accountability are increased in rank and their punishment, subsequently, can also be increased if transgressed.
Listed here are the important thing takeaways we have now from this Juz.
The qualities of the Prophets household
Surah Al-Ahzab highlights to us the instructions Allah (SWT) had for the Prophet’s household and, by extension, us.
Keep in your homes and don’t flaunt your finery like the previous days of ignorance. Preserve the prayer and pay the zakat and obey Allah (SWT) and His apostle. Certainly, Allah needs to repel all impurity from you, O folks of the Family and purify you utterly. And keep in mind what’s recited in your houses of the indicators of Allah and his knowledge. Certainly, Allah is Most Delicate, All-Conscious.
— Quran (33:33-34)
Based on each Shia and Sunni hadith, the occasion of Kisa, or the blanket, occurred across the time this verse was revealed throughout which Prophet Muhammad prayed for a number of the folks of his home from his household, also called Ahl Al Bayt. Amongst the group have been Ali (as), the Prophet’s cousin; Fatima (as), the Prophet’s daughter; and Hasan (as) and Hussain (as), the Prophet’s grandchildren from Fatima and Ali.
The vast majority of this Surah discusses the rights that the Prophet has upon himself and his neighborhood, whether or not or not it’s his wives, his family, or his companions. Allah (SWT) explicitly listed the remedy that was anticipated from each Muhammad and the folks surrounding him to take care of respect and to focus on the implications of breaking the respect of his express phrase.
The tales of prior prophets and their nations
Surah Saba follows the folks of Saba and states how they have been disbelievers and punished for his or her ungratefulness. The second half discusses the story of Prophet David (as) and Solomon and the blessings Allah (SWT) granted to them.
Equally, Surah Truthful discusses the Tawhid (the assertion of oneness in God) and the punishment given to the folks for not believing the Prophet’s message. On this chapter, he makes use of logic and self-reflection to purpose with the folks to go searching and query who created this world and preserve all of it every day.
The circumstances of disbelievers and their assigned messengers
We now transfer on to Surah Yaseen, often called the guts of the Quran. We see the blessings of the miracle of God and his creation. Surah Yaseen encompasses extraordinary excellence and encompasses all the unique themes listed within the Quran. It lists the premise of the Quran and its data of the world, the response from many disbelievers and their penalties, what comes after demise within the hereafter, and the data about God and his messenger.
In my private expertise, I like Surah Yaseen for the visuals it performs in my thoughts as I recite it. The metaphors and examples and the narrative high quality of this Quran outline my proximity to it.
Verily! We’ve placed on their necks iron collars reaching to chins in order that their heads are pressured up. And We’ve put a barrier earlier than them, and a barrier behind them, and We’ve lined them up in order that they can’t see. It’s the identical to them whether or not you warn them otherwise you warn them not, they won’t consider.
— Quran (36-8:10)
On this mentally illustrative instance, we see Allah (SWT) clarify the bodily and psychological obstacles disbelievers place themselves in when confronted with the reality. Regardless of being given the reality by the messengers or the evident E-book, disbelievers bodily shackle themselves with iron obstacles.
Throughout the Surah, Allah SWT mentions three Prophets that have been despatched to the folks, particularly Sadiq, Masduq, and Shalom. The folks transgressed every of the three, so when a person got here from the furthest a part of city to the remaining folks begging them to consider within the true phrase, he too was belittled and later killed.
We see Allah (SWT) consolation him on the gates of Paradise within the subsequent traces.
It was mentioned (to him when the disbelievers killed him): “Enter Paradise.” He mentioned: “Would that my folks knew! That my Lord (Allah) has forgiven me, and made me of the honored ones!”
— Quran (36:26-27)
On this stunning portrayal of religion, Allah (SWT) spent no time reaffirming the believer that his actions in believing the oneness of God gave him an eternity of satisfaction.
