SURAH AL-BAQARAH
Verses of Surah Al-Baqarah Related to Faith (Verse No-284-286)
Name

Why the name AL-BAQARAH? AL-BAQARAH (the Cow) has been so

named from the story of the Cow occurring in this Surah (vv. 67-73).
It is only used as a title to indicate that this subject is also present in
this Surah. And other topics also exist.

Sequence

Though it is a Madani Surah, it follows naturally a Makki Surah Al-

Fatihah, which ended with the prayer.

The last verses (284-286) of this Surah which were revealed at

Makkah before the migration of the Holy Prophet to Al-Madinah
have also been included in it.

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Allah

will call you to account for what is in your minds whether you
disclose it or hide it. He, however, had full authority to pardon or

punish anyone He pleases, for Allah has complete power over

everything.

The Messenger has believed in the Guidance which has been

sent down to him from his Lord, and those who believe in the
Messenger have also sincerely accepted the same. They all
believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books and Messengers. And
they say, "We do not discriminate against any of His Messengers.
We have heard the Message and submitted to it. Our Lord, we
look up to You for forgiveness, for to You we shall all return."

Allah does not burden any human being with a responsibility

heavier than he can bear. Everyone will enjoy the fruit of the good
that one has earned and shall suffer for the evil that one has
committed. (O Believers, pray like this to Allah :) "Our Lord, take
us not to task if we forget and lapse into error inadvertently. Lord!
Lay not on us the kind of burdens that You had lain on the people
before us. Lord, lay not on us the kind of burden that we have not

the strength to bear. Be kind to us, forgive us and show mercy to

us. You are our Protector: help us against the disbelievers."

Surah-Al-Hujuraat
Verses of Surah Al-Hujrat Related to Adab Al-Nabi(Verse No-1-18)

Introduction

Surah Hujurat is Madani Surah. It contains eighteen ayat (verses). It

is in 26th para of the holy Quran. It is forty ninths Surah of the series.
It was revealed in 9th year of Hijra.

The word Hujurat is plural of Hujra which means room or dwelling or

apartment.

Historical perspective

This Surah was revealed because people who were coming to meet
Muhammad (S.A.W) were not well acquainted with manners and
morals of civilized society. They belonged to country side. In many
matters related to social life they were unaware about morals and
manners. Therefore this Surah was revealed to teach etiquettes and
manners to the people.

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

O you, who have believed, do not go in advance of Allah and His

Messenger, and fear Allah: Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

O you, who have believed, do not raise your voices above the
Prophet's voice, nor speak to him loud as you speak loud to one
another lest all your works be rendered void, while you do not
know

Those who lower their voices in the presence of the Messenger of

God, are, in fact, those whose hearts Allah has disposed to
piety. For them are forgiveness and a great reward!

O Prophet, those who call out to you from outside the apartments,
most of them have no sense.

If only they had had patience until you came out to them, it would
be better for them. Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful.

O you, who have believed, if a wicked person brings you some

news, inquire into it carefully lest you should harm others
unwittingly and then regret what you have done.

Abdul Rasheed

Knew it well that the Messenger of Allah is among you. If he were

to obey you in most affairs, you would certainly be in trouble. But
Allah has endeared the Faith to you and made it seem fair in your
hearts and made disbelief, wrongdoing and disobedience
abhorrent to you. Such are those who are rightly guided

Through Allah's grace and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

And if two parties of the believers fall to mutual fighting, make

peace between them. Then if either of them transgresses against
rite other, fight the one that has transgressed till it returns to
Allah's Command. Then if it returns, make peace between them
with justice, and be just because Allah loves those who do justice.

The believers are brothers of one another; so set the relations

right between your brothers, and fear Allah; it is expected that you
will be shown mercy.

Abdul Rasheed

O you who have believed, neither should men mock other men, it
may be that these are better than they; nor should women mock
other women, it may be that these are better than they. Do not
taunt one another among yourselves, nor call one another by
nicknames. It is an evil thing to be called by a bad name after
faith. Those who fail to avoid this are wrongdoers.

O you, who have believed, avoid much suspicion, for some

suspicions are sins. Do not spy, nor should any one backbite the
other. Is there any among you who would like to eat the flesh of
his dead brother? Nay, you yourselves abhor it. Fear Allah, for
Allah is Acceptor of repentance and All-Merciful.

O mankind, We created you from one man and one woman, and
then divided you into nations and tribes so that you may
recognize one another. Indeed, the most honorable among you in
the sight of Allah is he who is the most pious of you. Surely, Allah
is All-knowing, All-Wise.

The desert Arabs say, "We have believed." Say to them, "You
have not believed: rather say, “We have submitted.” Faith has not
yet entered your hearts. If you adopt obedience to Allah and His
Messenger, He will not diminish anything from the reward of your
works." Surely, Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful.

In fact, the true believers are those who believed in Allah and His
Messenger; then they entertained no doubt and exerted their

utmost in the Way of Allah with their selves and their wealth. They
indeed are the truthful ones.

O Prophet, say to those (who claim to have believed), "Are you

apprising Allah of your Faith? Whereas Allah knows all that there
is in the heavens and the earth and has knowledge of everything."

They deem it as a favor to you that they have accepted Islam.

Say to them, "Do not deem your Islam as a favor to me, but rather
Allah has done you a favor that He has guided you to the Faith, if
you are really truthful (in your claim to have believed).

Allah has the knowledge of every hidden thing in the heavens and
the earth, and He sees whatever you do."

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

Most certainly those Believers have attained true success.

Who perform their Salat with humility.

Who refrain from vain things.

Who spend their Zakat dues in appropriate ways.

Who guard their private parts scrupulously,

Abdul Rasheed

Except with regard to their wives and those women who are
legally in their possession, for in that case they shall not be
blame-worthy.

But those, who go beyond this (in lust for sexual desires), shall be
transgressors:

Who are true to their trusts and their promises,

And who strictly guard their Prayers.

These are the heirs.

Who will inherit Paradise and dwell therein forever.

Surah al-Furqan
Verses of Surah al-Furqan Related to Social Ethics (Verse No.63-77)

At the end of the Surah, a clear picture of the moral superiority of

distinguishing the genuine from the counterfeit. This is the noble

character of those people who have believed in and followed the
teachings of the Holy Prophet and this is the kind of people that he is
trying to train.

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

The (true) servants of the Merciful are those who walk humbly on the
earth who, when the ignorant people behave insolently towards them,
say, "Peace to you“

Who pass their nights in prostrating themselves and standing before

their Lord.

Page

Abdul Rasheed

Who pray, "Our Lord, save us from the torment of Hell, for its torment
is killing:

It is an evil abode and an evil resting place"

Who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor miserly but keep
the golden mean between the two (extremes):

Who do not invoke any god but Allah nor kill a soul, which Allah has
forbidden, unjustly, nor commit adultery. He who does this shall be
punished for his sin,

Page

Abdul Rasheed

And his torment shall be doubled on the Day of Resurrection, and he

shall abide in a state of ignominy,

Except the one who may have repented (after those sins) and have
believed and done righteous works, for then Allah will change his evil
deeds into good deeds, and He is very Forgiving and Merciful.

In fact, the one who repents and does righteous deeds, returns to Allah
as one rightly should

(And the servants of the Merciful are those :) who do not bear witness
to falsehood and who; if they have ever to pass by what is vain, pass by
like dignified people.

Who do not behave like the blind and the deaf, when the Revelations of
their Lord are recited to them for admonition.

Page

Abdul Rasheed

Those who pray, "Our Lord, bless us with wives and children, who may
be the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders of the righteous."

Such are the people who will be rewarded with high palaces for their
fortitude, wherein they will be welcomed with due respect, honor and
salutations

And wherein they will live forever: what an excellent abode and what
an excellent resting place!

O, Muhammad, tell the people, "My Lord does not care at all if you do
not invoke Him. Now that you have denied (His Revelations), you will
soon be awarded such a punishment which you will never be able to
avoid."
