BRIEF TAFSEER
Juz’ 22
Surah Al-Ahzaab
Ayah 32:
When someone flirts with you, don’t flirt back. Protect yourself. When a man is talking to you softly or flirtatiously, don’t fall for that, but be confident and be firm. Close the door and do not entertain such conversations with men. And a woman is not to be blamed for what a man does – her job is to protect herself.Women are allowed to speak to men when needed; Islam is practical. But avoid talking in private, and keep it professional.
A woman’s voice is not haram to be heard; it’s permissible for men to hear her voice, but she shouldn’t be very soft and go to extremes. She should speak normally.
Ayah 33:
A woman is allowed to go outside the house – not allowing that would be imprisonment. What is meant here, is that she shouldn’t be out and about all the time, as that is wastage of time, leads to fatigue, and will likely cause her to not be able to carry out her other responsibilities. This means we should not put so much burden on women. The burden put on women is lightened over here, that she isn’t forced to work. She should never be obligated to bring an income and spend on the family. This is unfair. Neither become a hermit, nor become a social butterfly.Some people will use this Ayah to prevent women from going to school or masajid – this is not permissible! They should be allowed to go out to get an education or for other things too!
For a man to treat a woman with dignity, this is a moral issue. If he doesn’t have morals, he won’t, despite a woman’s precaution. A woman is not responsible for what a man does, but she must take her precautions – and if her job is done, she will be asked about her deeds, not his. You must guard yourself, but when there is aggression, you never, EVER blame the victim. Always blame the aggressor.
It’s just like you keep your money safe, to prevent attraction to it. And if someone still robs you, it’s never, EVER your fault.Ayah 35:
Every person, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to get close to Allah through these actions: by being Muslim, obeying Allah, being truthful, being patient, being humble, being charitable, fasting, guarding the private parts, remembering Allah at all times and in every situation. The people who do all this, earn forgiveness and a great reward from Allah. Both genders are evidently mentioned, so women are not assumed to have less opportunity than a man.Ayah 36:
Imaan demands that a person doesn’t feel discomfort at the commands of Allah.Ayah 38:
Some traditions are so embedded that they aren’t broken by words and persuasion. They are broken by action. So be the change you want to see in the world.Ayah 41-42:
No matter how much you remember Allah, there is always more that you can do. Strive to do the most and do it every spare second you have! Morning and evening!Ayah 47:
This verse gives the most hope, that the Prophet PBUH is told to tell the believers that there’s a great reward for them in the Hereafter! Realise the worth of your faith!Ayah 48:
Don’t exhaust yourself in remembering every little thing people have done, or every hurt they have caused you. Focus on obeying Allah and doing your work.Ayah 50:
Cousins are not your siblings; they are not your Mahram. Marriage with cousins is permissible.Ayah 53:
Here we have been taught that no man should be alone with an unrelated woman as this is detrimental to faith. Even if you are working in an office setting, do not be alone. Do not go to the house of a woman when she is alone. Not even your brother-in-law can do that. We think there is no hijaab from the men of the house, but you have to be even more careful with them! You cannot let down your guard with them. The same applies for interacting online or virtually.We are not saying ALL men are filthy. Attraction is human nature. We must protect ourselves and interact properly with the opposite gender.
Ayah 55:
Allah is always watching. So ask yourself: when I am interacting with this man or woman, would Allah approve? Because you can hide your interactions from people, but not from Allah.Ayah 56:
Just as we remember Allah, we must send peace and blessings upon the Prophet PBUH because the way he helped humanity, no one else ever did. The hardships he bore for us are unparalleled.Ayah 58: Hurting anybody is not okay. And hurting a believer is WORSE. You cannot hurt even the jinn, nor animals, nor the environment, nor people, and especially not the believers.
The closer someone is to you, the more right they have upon you. We must not hurt or annoy one another. We must make sure people are safe from us.
Ayah 59:
The clothes of a woman may be short or tight, so when she goes out, she shouldn’t go out in her normal clothes. She should wear a shawl or a cloth from the top of her head to cover her hair, face, and chest – basically, cover as much as is possible.
Hijaab is an act of resistance, as if you’re saying, ‘you’re not welcome to look at me’, and if someone still has the audacity to harm a woman, may Allah deal with him.Ayah 67:
Ask yourself: who am I following? Why are we following them? And in the way that we’re following them, is it drawing us close to Allah or away from Him? A believer is not a blind follower; he is conscious of every decision he makes.Ayah 73:
Allah has given us the responsibility to obey Him by choice. This freedom that we have in this life is a trust and a responsibility. Some will uphold it externally and internally (they repent), some won’t uphold it at all, and some will only uphold it outwardly and won’t in their hearts.Surah Saba
We will learn about Allah’s favours and Perfection in this Surah.
In Ayahs 10-13, we learn of the miracles of David and Solomon AS and how grateful and righteous they were.
Ayah 13:
Hamd is not just praise; it is gratefulness too. We must feel Allah’s praise and love of Allah in our hearts and we must also say it verbally. And to prove it, we must act in gratitude to Allah by doing good and doing things that will please Him.Ayah 19:
Ungrateful words and belittling the blessings Allah has given you is a cause of losing blessings, and getting deprived of them. We must be patient and grateful.Ayah 21:
Satan doesn’t have any force against people. He only promises, tempts and makes false promises. He only compels and does not have the ability to force humans. Satan tries to attack us through ingratitude, even when we are surrounded by blessings. Patience and gratitude is a means of protection against Satan.Ayah 37:
Just because a person has money, it doesn’t mean they are close to Allah, or that Allah is very pleased with them. It is righteousness that brings you closer to Allah.Ayah 39:
When you give something in the way of Allah, Allah will definitely give it back to you, in the best way possible. Believe in the promises of Allah and spend in His way. He WILL compensate you. Charity does not reduce wealth. What you withhold will finish, and what you spend in Allah’s way will be rewarded and further cashed on the Day of Judgement!Ayah 50:
When you do good, recognise that it’s an opportunity and mercy from Allah. And when you make errors, step up and take responsibility for it!Surah Fatir
Ayah 2:
Ask Allah for His favour and His mercy! He is the only One in control.Ayah 5:
A person gets lost on the world thinking that it’s everything; this is a delusion! And Satan facilitates it!Ayah 6:
Take Satan as an enemy; he is out to destroy you! Obey Allah and not Satan. On the surface, we talk about Satan with animosity, but then in private, what do we do? We obey him! This is not the way you treat an enemy!Ayah 8:
Some people really fail to recognise the wrong they do. So don’t waste yourself over them – Allah knows.Ayah 10:
If anyone is trying to seek honour, they should realise that they can only seek it through Allah by obeying and worshipping Him; He has all honour! If you want to have dignity and respect, then be a good servant to Allah.Your good words ascend to Allah and righteous action raises it. Good words alone are not enough.
Ayah 12: You can benefit from people who seem very bitter. They can teach you lessons in humility.
Ayah 15:
No matter WHO it is, he is always dependent and ALWAYS in need of Allah. All you are and all you have is given to you by Allah. From birth to death. So keep exhibiting your need before Him and keep begging Him for what you need.Ayah 27:
You see diversity in EVERYTHING on earth.Ayah 28:
Real knowledge produces fear and humility in a person. Knowledge that makes a person arrogant and dismissive is dangerous and not beneficial. Knowledge is only beneficial if it creates fear of Allah in the heart.Ayah 29-30:
When you invest in your relationship with the Quran, you get way more than you invest in it. You recite a little and earn a HUGE reward. The recitation is blessed, and brings healing and reward. It will come on the Day of Judgement as an intercession for its people. And you benefit from recitation in this life as well!Ayah 34-35:
In the world, there is always some sort of distress and some sort of grief, but there will be none in Paradise. This is only in Paradise.Ayah 37:
In Hell, people will regret and beg for another chance, but the time will have passed when they could have done something. They CHOSE not to do anything. So they earned Hell.Ayah 43:
Evil plots don’t work in any way except against you. You plot and become the first victim of your plotting. You are working against yourself. Such people will be fully exposed on the Day of Judgement and will be put in the Fire. Don’t conspire to harm others; it leads to corruption.Ayah 45:
If Allah punished every human for what he did, there would be no human left on Earth. Make use of the time you have been given. And seek forgiveness from Allah.Surah Ya-Seen
Ayah 6:
To make people aware, you must convey the Quran to them.Ayah 11:
Our biases may blind us to the truth. So we must know Allah is Merciful, and yet we must fear Allah without having seen Him. If we do this, we will be given a noble reward.Ayah 12:
Everything we do is rewarded. Even our footsteps are rewarded – every step is counted and rewarded.Ayah 18-19:
We should not believe in superstition. We should reflect over our own deeds; what did I do that Allah’s Mercy was taken away from me?Ayah 20: We should run to do good deeds and not be lazy.
Ayah 21: A sincere person expects reward from Allah, not compensation from people.
