SURAH Al- Jinn 72: (The Jinns)

This Surah is Makki. It has 28 verses and 2 sections.
With the name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Very- Merciful

"...And that some people from human beings used to seek refuge with some people of the Jinn, thus they increased them (The Jinn) in arrogance," [6]

COMMENTARY: The previous verses spoke about how the Jinn used to speak ill about Allah and transgress the limit. Todays verse informs us of the reason why those Jinn were misguided.

This verse describes the situation that it was customary for people in the days of ignorance that when they halted in a valley in the course of a journey, they sought refuge in the Jinn leader of that valley from the foolish mischief makers of his nation (Jinn nation) believing that the leader of the valley will protect them. This made the Jinn think that they are better than human beings. Since others pleaded assistance from them they felt too great and powerful to submit to Allah.

~Ma'aariful Quraan~ & ~Quraan made easy~
TO BE CONTINUED...

Allah Ta'aala states: "Indeed the number of months by Allah are 12, so was it ordained by Allah on the day He created the heavens and earth, of them 4 are sacred." (Surah Taubah, verse 37)

Rasulallah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam informed us about these 4 months in a Hadeeth recorded by Imaam Ali Bukhaari: "indeed the year evolves as it was the day Allah Ta'aala created the heavens and the earth. The year has 12 months, among them 4 are sacred, 3 are successive, Dhul Qi'dah, Dhul Hijjah, Muharram and Rajab."

The Quraanic verse and Hadeeth mentioned is sufficient evidence that the month of Muharram was declared sacred by Allah Ta'aala on the day He created the heavens and the earth. This was the view held by the pious predecessors of The Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah.

Due to the fact that these 4 months and Ramadaan are sacred in the Islamic calendar, the reward for good deeds in these months are far greater than it is in other months. Just as engaging in sin during these months is far more heinous than engaging in sins in other months. Off course sinning is prohibited throughout the year, but we must exercise more caution during these months.

The 10th day of Muharram is considered more sacred than the other days of this month. This day is called Aashuraa. This day is treated as sacred because AllahTa'aala rescued Nabi Moosa Alaihi Salaam and the Israelites from the oppression of Phiroun on this day, as reported by Imaam Al Bukhaari and Imaam Muslim. Ibnu Abbas Radiyallahu Anhu relates that when Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam came to Madinah, he noticed the Jews fasting on the day of Aashura, so He enquired about the reason for their fasting on this day. They replied, "This is a sacred day, Allah Ta'aala rescued Nabi Moosa Alaihi Salaam and his people and drowned Phiroun and his people on this day." Thus Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam fasted on this day as a token of thanks, so we too follow this example and fast on this day. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said: "We have more right to Nabi Moosa Alaihi Salaam than you (the jews)," so He fasted on this day and instructed the Muslims to fast on this day. Imaam Muslim also records that Abbaas Radiyallahu Anhu said that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said: "If I am alive next year I will also fast on the ninth." Thus it is advisable to fast on the 9th and 10th or the 10th and the 11th.

Another great event which will take place on Aashura is Qiyaamah (Judgement Day). According to Hadeeth, Qiyaamah will be on a Friday which will be the day of Aashura. The month of Muharram and the other 3 which were declared sacred in the holy Quraan and the Sunnah, must be treated as the month of Ramadaan is treated.

Muslims must adopt a change of attitude in this month, they must adopt a program for spiritual regimentation. Considering the weak state of the Ummah at large and its incapacity to deal with the challenges it is encountering, it is of utmost importance that Muslims take full advantage of the sacred status of all five months by adopting a strict spiritual program. Considering the fact that these 4 months are scared, just as Ramadaan is sacred, it is most likely that the mercy and blessing of AllahTa'aala is just as abundant in these months just as it is in Ramadaan. The present day Ummah is in such a crisis, that the Muslims are in urgent need of the mercy and blessing of AllahTa'aala, considering the illusion that they entertain.

We do not have the human resources to face the challenges of the day. This illusion is due to the lack of will, which is the direct result of distancing ourselves from AllahTa'aala. The only way to bridge this distance is to gain proximity, and this can only be achieved by adopting a well regulated spiritual program, which will restore our trust in Allah, and inculcate in us the characteristic of abstinence. Once we achieve this we will Insha Allah be in a state of readiness to deliver the Ummah from its crisis.

With Muharram having just entered, Radio Islam strives to bring you quality programming and content regarding Muharram via the airwaves and the newsletter within the near future.

Two confirmed bachelors sat talking, their conversation drifted from politics to cooking. "I got a cookbook once," said one, "but I could never do anything with it." "Too much fancy work in it, eh?" asked the other. "You said it. Every one of the recipes began the same way - "Take a clean dish."
