QURAAN LESSONS

Ma’aariful Quraan
SURAH AL-MURSALAAT- (Those Sent)
In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful

(I swear) by those (winds) that are sent one after the other. [1]
and by those that blow violently, [2]
and by those that spread (clouds) all over, [3]
and by those (angels) who differentiate (between right and wrong) distinctly, [4]

COMMENTARY: The Occasion of Revelation of this Surah
Imam Bukhan RA records from Sayyadina 'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud RA that he said:

"While we were with Allah's Messenger in a cave at Mina, the Surah 'wal-Mursalat' was revealed to him. He was reciting it, and I was learning it from his mouth. Verily, his mouth was moist with it, when a snake leaped out at us. The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said, 'Kill it!' So we quickly went after it, but it got away. Then the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said, 'It was saved from your harm, just as you all were saved from its harm'." [Ibn Kathir].

THE MESSAGE

THE EFFECTS OF LAA E-LAAHA IL-LAL-LAAH
By Shaykh Saalih ibn Fawzaan al-Fawzaan
----------------------------------------
The kalimah (word) Laa ilahah ilallaah (that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah), if it said with truthfulness and sincerity from the heart, and acted upon in that which it necessitates - outwardly and inwardly - then its effect will indeed be praiseworthy upon both the individual and the society.

Amongst the most important of its effects are: -
[1] Uniting the word of the Muslims:
This will result in strengthening the Muslims and assisting them in defeating their enemies - as long as they continue to follow and practice the same single religion, and as long as they adhere to the same single 'Aqeedah (belief). Allah - the Most High - said: "And hold fast altogether to the rope of Allah and do not be divided." [Soorah Aal-'Imraan 3:103]. "It is He Who has strengthened you with His help and with the Believers, and moreover, He has put love and affection between their hearts. If you were to spend all that is in the earth, then never could you have united their hearts, but Allah has united them. Indeed He is the all-Mighty, the all-Wise." [Soorah al-Anfaal 8:62-63]. And differing in matters of 'Aqeedah (beliefs) is the cause for splitting, disunity and hostility, as Allaah - the Most High - said: "Indeed those who split-up their religion and become sects, you have no part with them in the least." [Soorah al-An'aam 6:159] "But people have cut-off their affair of unity between them and have become sects, each party rejoicing in that which is with itself." [Soorah al-Mu'minoon 23:53] So people cannot truly be united except upon the correct concept of Iman (faith) and the correct 'Aqeedah of Tawhid, which are both direct implications of Laa ilahah ilallaah. O¬ne need o¬nly consider the condition of the Arabs before and after Islam.

[2] Prevalence of safety and peace in a unified society, which believes in and abides by Laa ilahah ilallaah: Since the individuals in such a society will take care in doing o¬nly that which Allah has made Halal (lawful) and abandoning that which Allah has made Haraam (unlawful) - acting in accordance with what the 'Aqeedah necessitates upon them. So this will prevent people from enmity, oppression and injustice, whilst directing them towards co-operation, love and deep brotherhood for the sake of Allah, acting upon His - the Most High's - saying: "Indeed the Believers are but brothers." [Soorah al-Hujuraat 49:10] This is clearly reflected in the life of the Arabs before and after believing in Laa ilahah ilallaah. Before Islam, they lived in hostility and insecurity, constantly fighting and killing each other. However, when they embraced Islam this all changed, and the same people lived with each other in peace and an atmosphere of love and brotherhood prevailed, as Allah - the Most High - said: "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are strong and mighty against the unbelievers and merciful and kind amongst each other." [Soorah al-Fath 48:29]. "And remember the favour of Allah upon you; for you were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His grace you became brothers." [Soorah Aal-'Imraan 3:103].

[3] Achievement of happiness, maintaining purity of the religion and being steadfastness against the onslaught of false beliefs and foreign ideologies: Allah said: "Allah has promised to those amongst you who truly have Iman (true faith and belief) and act in obedience to Allah and His Messenger, that He will grant them ruler ship upon the earth, just as He granted it to those before them, and that He will establish their Religion for them and grant them the authority to practice their Religion which He chose and ordered them with. And He will certainly change their situation to o¬ne of security, after their fear. Providing that they worship and obey Me, not associating anything else in worship with Me. Then, whoever rejects this favour by disobedience to their Lord - then they are the rebellious transgressors." [Soorah an-Noor 24:55]

So Allah - the Most Perfect - has made achievement of these lofty goals conditional upon worshipping and obeying Him and not associating any partners with Him. And this is the true meaning of Laa ilahah ilallaah.

HANDY HINT
Kitchen sink disposals require lots of water to operate properly. Start a compost pile as an alternate method of disposing food waste instead of using a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals also can add 50% to the volume of solids in a septic tank which can lead to malfunctions and maintenance problems.

A THOUGHT

EVIL ONLY RELATIVE
---------------------
To the creatures of the sea, the sea is a garden. To the creatures of the land it is fatal. In the same way, O man, reckon up with intelligence the relations of these things in endless variety. In relation to this man, Zaid is as Satan. In relation to another he is as a Sultan. The latter calls Zaid a sincere Mussulman, the former calls him a Gueber deserving to be killed. Zaid, one and the same person, is life to the one, and to the other an annoyance and a pest.

[RUMI]
