✨ Assalamu 'alaikum. Let's continue with the *next Surah.*

🎀 *NAME* 🎀

💟 *_SURAH AL-IKHLAAS_* (Arabic: سورة الإخلاص‎, The Fidelity), Al-Ikhlaas means "the purity" or "the refining". Also known as *Surat At-Tawheed* (Arabic: سورة التوحيد‎, Monotheism).

👆🏻This is the *112th Surah* of the Qur'an. It is a short declaration of tawhid, Allah's absolute oneness, consisting of 4 Aayaah.

🎀 *PERIOD OF REVELATION* 🎀

✨ Traditions show that different people on different occasions had questioned the Prophet (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) *about the essence and nature of the God to Whose service and worship he invited the people, and on every occasion he recited by Allah's command this very Surah in response.*

🎀 *THEME AND*
*SUBJECT MATTER* 🎀

💟 Those days, the idolatrous polytheists were worshiping gods made of wood, stone, gold, silver and other substances. The gods and goddesses were descended from each other. Each God had wives and children, and all the goddesses had husband and relatives.

✨ A large number of polytheists believed that God assumed human form and there were some people who descended from Him. *Under such conditions when the people were invited to believe in Allah, the One Who has no associate, it was inevitable that questions arose in the minds as to what kind of a God He was.*

💟 It is a miracle of Allah that in a few words, He briefly answered all the questions and presented such a clear concept of His Being, without leaving any room for the ascription of any of the human qualities to Him.

✨💟✨💟✨💟✨💟✨💟✨💟

🌷 Assalamu 'alaikum. Let's memorize the *next Surah*.

🎀 *NAME* 🎀

🎉 *_SURAH AN-NASR_* (Arabic: سورة النصر‎) (Divine Support).

👆🏻This is the *110th surah* of the Qur'an with *3 Aayaah*. An-Nasr translates to English as both "the victory" and "the help or assistance".

💟 Hadrat 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas states that this is the last Surah of the Qur'an to be revealed, i. e. no complete Surah was sent down to the Prophet (SalAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) after it.

📎 (Muslim Nasai, Tabarani, Ibn Abi Shaibah, Ibn Marduyah).

🌷 *This was the last Surah to be revealed, only a few months before the Prophet's (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) death.*

💟 Tafsir ibn Kathir quotes a hadith, which states that Muhammad (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said with reference to this surah:
👉🏻 In truth, the people have entered into the religion of Allah in crowds and they will also leave it in crowds.

🎀 *PERIOD OF REVELATION* 🎀

🌷 According to Hadrat 'Abdullah bin Umar (radiAllaahu 'anhu), *this Surah was sent down on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage in the middle of the Tashriq Days at Mina,* and after it the Prophet (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) rode his she camel and gave his well known Sermon.

📎 (Tirmidhi, Bazzar, Baihaqi, Ibn Abi Shaibah, Abd bin Humaid, Abn Yala, Ibn Marduyah).

🎀 *SUBJECT MATTER* 🎀

💟 Allah, in this Surah had informed His Messenger (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) that when Islam attained complete victory in Arabia and the people started entering Allah's religion in great numbers, *it would mean that the mission for which he had been sent to the world, had been fulfilled.*

🌷 Then, he was enjoined to busy himself in praising and glorifying Allah by Whose bounty he had been able to accomplish such a great task, and should implore Him to forgive whatever failings and frailties he might have shown in the performance of the service.

 *_SURAH AL-KAAFIROON_* (Arabic: سورة الكافرون‎) Al-Kaafirun means "The Unbelievers."

👆🏻This is the *109th Surah* of the Qur'an with *6 Aayaah*.

 *PERIOD OF REVELATION* 

➰ According to Hadhrat Abdullah bin Abbas, the Quraysh chiefs proposed to the Prophet Muhammad (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam):
👉🏻 _"We shall give you so much of wealth, that you will become the richest man of Makkah. We shall give you whichever woman you like in marriage. We are prepared to follow and obey you as our leader, only on the condition that you will not speak ill of our gods. If you do not agree to this, we present another proposal which is to your as well as to our advantage."_

🔘 When the Prophet (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) asked what it was, *they said that if he would worship their gods, Laat and Uzza, for a year, they would worship Allah for the same space of time.* Prophet (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said:
👉🏻 _"Wait awhile; let me see what my Lord commands in this regard."_

➰ Thereupon the revelation came down: Qul yaa-ayyuhal- kaafiruun...

 *COMMENTARY* 

🔘 It was revealed in order *to exonerate the Muslims from the disbeliever's religion, their rites of worship, and their gods, and to express their total disgust and unconcern with them and to tell them that Islam and kufr (unbelief) had nothing in common and there was no possibility of their being combined and mixed into one entity.*

➰ Although it was addressed in the beginning to the disbelieving Quraysh in response to their proposals of compromise, yet it is not confined to them only.

🔘 Having made it a part of the Qur'an, *Allah gave the Muslims, the eternal teaching that they should exonerate themselves by word and deed from the creed of kufr* wherever and in whatever form it be, and should declare without any reservation that they cannot make any compromise with the disbelievers in the matter of Faith.

🌸 Assalamu 'alaikum. *Let's complete one more Surah.*

 *NAME* 

 *_SURAH AL-KAWTHAR_* (Arabic: سورة الكوثر‎) ("Abundance").

👆🏻This is the *108th surah* of the Qur'an, and the *shortest with 3 Aayaah.*

 *THEME AND*
*SUBJECT MATTER* 

🌸 The enemies of the Prophet (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) thought that Muhammad (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) had been completely ruined; he had been cut off from his community, his trade was ruined, his male children who could carry on his name were dead, the message that he was preaching was accepted by only a handful of the people, he was helpless and powerless and he was facing failure and disappointment.

💝 *His enemies would rejoice over the thought that there would be no one to remember him after he has gone. This Surah was therefore sent to console the Prophet Muhammad (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam).*

🌸 Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala said, _“Verily, We have granted you Al-Kawthar.”_ It indicates that *your foolish opponents think that you are ruined and deprived of the good things that you enjoyed before Prophethood.*

💝 But the fact is that *We have favored you with unbounded good and countless deeds.*
👉🏻 This included the matchless *moral qualities of the Prophet, the Prophethood, the Qur'an and his knowledge and wisdom*. His message spread throughout the world and Alhamdulillah still continues to reach far and wide.

🌸 Then, contrary to the polytheistic practice, *Allah reminds that your prayer is only for Allah and your sacrifice also is for Him alone.*

💝 Finally Allah says, indeed he who hates you, O Muhammad (SalAllaahu 'alaihi wa sallam), and he hates what you have come with of guidance, truth, clear proof and manifest light, *he is the most cut off, meanest, lowliest person who will not be remembered.*

💕 *_SURAH AL MAA'UUN_* (Arabic: سورة الماعون‎) (Small Kindnesses, Almsgiving).

👆🏻This is the *107th surah* of the Qur'an with *7 Aayaah.*

 *THEME* 

🔺Its theme is *to point out what kind of morals a man develops when he refuses to believe in the Hereafter.*

🔹In Aayaah 2-3, the condition of the disbelievers who openly belie the Hereafter has been described, and in the last four Aayaah, the state of those *hypocrites who apparently are Muslims but have no idea of the Hereafter, its judgment, and the meting out of rewards and punishments accordingly has been described.*

 *SUBJECT MATTER* 

🔺This Surah was revealed in Madinah where a myriad of factions were conspiring to contain the growing Islamic influence. *It holds out a threat of destruction to those praying ones who are unmindful of their Prayers and who pray only to be seen.*

🔹 *These people deprive the orphans of their rights, are heedless to the dues of the destitute, and pray without holding Allah in remembrance, forgetting the objective behind prayer.* Their charitable acts are a display of their false piety, since they do not give for the love of Allah.

 *NAME* 

 _*SURAH AL FIIL*_ (Arabic: سورةالفيل) The Elephant.

👆🏻This is the *105th surah* of the Qur'an consisting of *5 Aayaah*.

 *THEME* 

🍁 The year of Muhammad's (salAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) birth is identified as 'The Year of the Elephant', when Makkah was attacked by Abraha accompanied by a troop of elephants. *This Surah tells about how Allah saved the people of Makkah from this force by sending a swarm of birds that pelted the invaders with clay stones and drove them away.*

☘ This is one of the favors Allah did for the Quraysh. He saved them from the People of the Elephant who had tried to tear down the Ka`bah and wipe out all traces of its existence. _If Surah Al-Fiil is studied in the light of the historical details, one can fully understand why in this Surah only Allah's inflicting His punishment on the people of the elephant has been referred and described so briefly._

🍁 *The Arabs believed that the Ka'bah had been protected in this invasion not by any human force but by Allah Almighty Himself.* Allah alone had been invoked by the Quraysh chiefs for help, and for quite a few years the people of Quraysh having been impressed by this event, had worshiped none but Allah.

☘ Therefore, there was no need to mention the details in Surah Al-Fiil, but only a reference to it was enough so that the people of Arabia, in general, *should consider well in their hearts the message that the Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) was giving.*

🍁 For the only message that he gave was that they should worship and serve none but Allah, the Only and One. Then, they should also consider that *if they used force to suppress this invitation to the truth, they would only be inviting the wrath of Allah, Who had so completely routed and destroyed the people of the elephants.*

💞 Assalamu 'alaikum. Let's comtijñ7c the *next surah* today.

 *NAME* 

⏰ *_SURAH AL-'ASR_* (Arabic: سورة العصر‎ ) (The Declining Day, Eventide, The Epoch, Time).

👆🏻This is the *103rd surah* of the Qur’an. It contains *three Aayaah.*

💕 Surah Al-‘Asr is the second shortest surah after Al-Kawthar.

 *THEME* 

⏰ This Surah is a matchless specimen of comprehensiveness and brevity. *A whole world of meaning has been compressed into its few brief words, which is too vast in content to be fully expressed even in a book.*

⏳In it, in a clear and plain way it has been stated *what is the way to true success for man and what is the way to ruin and destruction for him.*

 *SUBJECT MATTER* 

⏰ It teaches that all human beings are in loss, *except those who have Imaan (concept), do righteous deeds and remind others of the Haqq (truth, rights, reality) and remind others of Sabr (patience).*

⏳Imam Shaafi has very rightly said that if the people only considered this Surah well, it alone would suffice them for their guidance.

⏰ How important this Surah was in the sight of the Companions can be judged from the tradition cited from Hadrat Abdullah bin Hisn ad-Darimi Abu Madinah, according to which *whenever any two of them met they would not part company until they had recited Surah Al- 'Asr to each other* (Tabarani).

 Assalamu 'alaikum. Let's continue with the *next surah* 

 *NAME* 

🐎 *_SURAH AL-'AADIYAAT_* (Arabic: سورة العاديات‎ ) (The Courser, The Chargers).

👆🏻This is the *100th surah* of the Qur'an with *11 Aayaat.*

 *THEME* 

 Its object is *to make the people realize how evil, man becomes when he denies the Hereafter, or becomes heedless of it, and also to warn them that in the Hereafter, not only their visible and apparent deeds but even the secrets hidden in their hearts too will be subjected to scrutiny.*

 *SUBJECT MATTER* 

🌟 *The general chaos and confusion prevailing in Arabia, with which the whole country was in turmoil, has been presented as an argument.*

 Bloodshed, loot and plunder raged on every side. Every Arab was fully conscious of this state of affairs and realized that it was wrong.

🌟 Referring to this very state of affairs, it has been said :
👉🏻 Unaware of the second life after death and his accountability before Allah in it, *man has become ungrateful to his Lord and Sustainer.*

✨ He is using the powers and abilities given by Allah for perpetrating tyranny and pillage; *Blinded by the love of worldly wealth he tries to obtain it by every means, however impure and filthy,* and his own state itself testifies that by abusing the powers bestowed by his Lord he is being ungrateful to Him.

🌟 He would never have behaved so, had he known the time when the dead will be raised from the graves, and when the intentions and motives with which he had done all sorts of deeds in the world, will be exposed and brought out before everyone to see.

✨ At that time the Lord and Sustainer of men shall be *well informed of what one had done and what punishment or reward one deserved.*
