Quraysh

Some commentators view this surah as complementary to, or a continuation of, Surah al-Fil, which precedes it.

Being strategically situated astride Europe and Asia, the Arabian Peninsula has, since early times, been a vital trade route between these two continents. As renowned traders, the sixth-century Arabs formed an important link between the Romans to their north and the Indians to their east and south. Regular trade caravans would cross the peninsula in both directions, carrying all manner of goods and merchandise.

The Quraysh people of Makkah and its surrounding towns were to benefit greatly from this most fortuitous situation. For the good and protection of the Quraysh in their winter and summer journeys, they should worship the Lord of this House [the Ka’bah] who has provided them with food to satisfy their hunger, and security from all danger. (1–4)

Peace and security are a prerequisite for prosperity and political and economic freedom. With their strong and tenacious character, the Arabs truly epitomized a free spirit, which, in turn, made them most suitable candidates for shouldering the message of Islam and passing it on to the rest of humanity.

Bearing False Witness

AIIah, Most High says; {Those who witness no falsehood and if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honorable (avoidance)} (AI-Furqan: 72)
{And shun the word that is false} (AI-Hajj: 30)

It was narrated that, “Bearing false witness is mentioned twice as equal as associating others with Allah (in the Qur’an)” (Reported by Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “On the Day of Judgement, the feet of the person who bore false witness will not stir from their place before their owner is condemned to Hell.” (Reported by Ibn Majah and AI-Hakim)

Hajj: Zirya Nijaat Aur Maghfirat

Hajj Kay Doran Haq Talfi Say Bachne Par Maghfirat, Pachas Martba Bait Allah Ka Tawaf Kerne Par Maghfirat, Tawaf Kerne Wale Kay Har Qadam Par Maghfirat, Hajr-e-Aswad Aur Rukn-e-Yamani Ka Istlam Kerne Par Maghfirat,Bait Allah Mein Dakhil Ho jane Wale Ki Maghfirat, Arfa Kay Din Kabeera Gunnahon Ki Maghfirat, Arfa Kay Din Apne Kaan, Nigha Aur Zaban Ki Hifazat Par Maghfirat, Qurbani Kerne Par Maghfirat

Al-Maun (Charity)

Sincere and pious people are always ready and eager to help others. True religion encourages its followers to provide support for the weak, sustenance for the poor, provisions for the orphan, and guidance for those who have lost their direction in life.

Neglect of these virtues has given credence to godless and materialistic ideologies such as communism, which swept across nearly half of the world, wreaking havoc upon millions everywhere.

Had believers, not least the Muslims themselves, upheld their faith and observed their religious beliefs,

Arrogance, Pride, Conceit, Vanity And Haughtiness

Allah, Most High, says, {Moses said, ‘I have indeed called upon my Lord and your Lord (for protection) from every arrogant one who believes not in the Day of Account.} (Ghafir: 27)

{Verily He loveth not the arrogant.} (An-Nahl: 23)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Once a man was walking along in a new set of clothes, with a swagger to his step, pleased with himself, Allah caused the earth to swallow him, and he will keep sinking until the Last Day.” (Reported by AI-Bukhari)

“Tyrants and the arrogant will be raised on the last Day as grain strewn under feet that the people will walk upon.” (Reported by At- Tirmidhi and Ahmad)

Al-Kawthar (Good in Abundance)

This very brief surah is like a short, sharp message of good news addressed directly and personally to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It was to console him for the loss of all his male children at a very early age. According to Arabian custom before Islam, the loss of male offspring was considered a great misfortune because it signified the cutting off of a father’s name and ancestry, and his fading into obscurity. A man not survived by his sons was thus given the pejorative Arabic name al-abtar (sonless).

The surah came to reassure the Prophet that God’s grace and generosity towards him were great and unparalleled. He was favored by receiving the Qur’anic revelation; he was selected as a messenger of God to all mankind; and he is loved and revered by millions worldwide. In every moment that passes, someone, somewhere, is praying for Muhammad (peace be upon him) or praising his name.
