JUZZ-10 This summary of the tenth juzz covers Surah Al Anfal ayah 41 to Surah At Tauba ayah 93. Beginning of tenth Juz The tenth Juz commences with mention of booty. Allâh declares, "Know that from whatever spoils of war that you acquire, a fifth of it shall be for Allâh, His messenger (Peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him), the relatives, the poor, the orphans and the travellers" (verse 41). The remaining four-fifths will be distributed among the Mujâhidîn [the Muslim soldiers who fought in the battle]. Allâh then discusses certain details about the Battle of Badr. Allâh addresses the Mu'minîn saying, "Obey Allâh and His Nabî (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and do not fall into dispute with each other, for then you will become cowardly and your strength will be lost. Be patient, for verily Allâh is with the patient ones." (verse 46) Allâh commands the Muslims further: "Prepare against them (your enemies) whatever forces of strength you can ...

JUZZ-9 This summary of the ninth juzz covers frm Surah Al Araaf 88 to Surah Al Anfal ayah 40. Beginning of the Ninth Juz After narrating these incidents Allâh says, "When your Rabb extracted from the backs of the children of Âdam their progeny and called them to witness over themselves saying, 'Am I not your Rabb?' They replied, 'Certainly! We attest to it.'" (verse 172) Allâh then says that those people who are greedy and live only to fulfil their desires are like dogs that pant with their tongues hanging out. Allâh has made Jahannam for these people because "They have hearts with which they cannot understand, they have eyes with which they cannot see and they have ears with which they cannot hear. (In fact) They are like animals, but even more deviated." (verse 179) Allâh tells Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam it that if the Kuffâr call him a wizard or a madman, he should not heed their taunts and should tell them that he is ...

JUZZ -8 This summary of the eighth juzz covers the portion frm Surah Al Anaam ayahs 111 to ayahs 87 of Surah Al Araaf. Beginning of Eighth Juz Allâh commands Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam to announce to the people, "Certainly my Rabb has guided me to the straight path ... Surely my Salâh, all my acts of worship, my life and my death are for Allâh, the Rabb of the universe. He has no partner. With this have I been commanded and I am the first of those who surrender." (Sûrah An'âm, verses 161-163) The following aspects have been emphasised in this Sûrah: 1. Never ascribe any partner to Allâh. 2. Treat parents kindly. 3. Never slay your children for fear of poverty because Allâh sustains everyone. 4. Never even come close to acts of promiscuity and immodesty. 5. Never take the life of any person without a legal right to do so. 6. Be just when weighing and measuring. 7. Always speak the truth and implement justice even though it may impact negati...

JUZZ-7 This summary of the seventh Juzz covers frm ayahs 83 of Surah Al Maeda to ayah 110 of Surah Al Anaam. Beginning of the Seventh Juz Allâh also draws man's attention to the fact that the person who forbids something that Allâh has permitted will be guilty of following his carnal desires [his nafs] instead of Allâh's injunctions. An example of this is the concept of monasticism that the Christians devised by which they would totally forsake the world and forbid themselves Halâl pleasures. This concept is incorrect and impermissible. Allâh also reminds the Mu'minîn that they will be taken to task for every oath that they fail to fulfil. The Kafâra [atonement] for breaching such a promise is that a person should either feed ten poor people, clothe them, set a slave free or fast for three days. Allâh also urges Muslims not to take intoxicants, not to gamble and not to divine the future. Allâh declares these acts to be Harâm (temptations) of Shaytân. Sû...

Juzz -6 This summary, of the sixth Juzz covers frm Surah Al Nisaa ayah 148 to Surah Al Maeda ayah 82. The final section of Surah An-Nisaa returns to the theme of the relationship between Muslims and the "People of the Book" (i.e. Christians and Jews). The Quran warns Muslims not to follow in the footsteps of those who divided their faith, added things to it, and went astray from the teachings of their prophets alahimus salam. As discussed before, much of Surah An-Nisaa was revealed shortly after the Muslims' defeat at the Battle of Uhud. The very last verse of this chapter outlines the rules for inheritance, which was immediately relevant to the widows and orphans from that battle. The next chapter, Surah Al-Ma'ida, opens with a discussion of dietary laws, pilgrimage, marriage, and criminal punishment for certain crimes. These provide a spiritual framework for laws and practices that were enacted during the early years of the Islamic community in Madinah. ...

JUZZ -5 This summary, of the fifth Juz commences at the Ayah 24 of Sûrah Nisâ and concludes at the end of the fifth Juz (verse 147 of Sûrah Nisâ). Beginning of Fifth Juz The laws pertaining to marriage and dowry (mahar) are discussed. Allâh enumerates all those women whom a person cannot marry, as well as those whom he is allowed to marry. Allâh also states that the stipulated dowry may be increased or decreased after marriage with the mutual consent of the couple. While it is permissible to take a profit from a mutually agreed contract of sale, extortion and oppression are forbidden in all circumstances. Jahannam will be the punishment for committing these grave sins. When a person abstains from major sins and carries out good acts, his minor sins are forgiven. Allâh also says that a wife may be disciplined if she is disobedient and cannot be controlled. However, it is a grave sin to search for her faults so that she can be disciplined. If discord creeps into marriag...

JUZZ-4 _This summary, of the fourth Juz commences at Sûrah Al Imran ayah 92 n concludes at ayah 23 of Surah An Nisaa._ The Christians were just as opposed to Islâm as the Jews were. Therefore, Allâh instructed Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam to issue a challenge of Mubâhala to them. The term 'Mubâhala' is a challenge between two opposing factions where each gathers his family members and they collectively invoke Allâh's punishment on the opposite faction saying, "O Allâh! Curse the party of us that is false and lying." However, the group of Christians whom Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam challenged shrank in fear from the challenge. This part of Sûrah Âl Imrân discusses both the Battle of Badr as well as the Battle of Uhud. During the Battle of Badr the Muslims were only 313 in number and did not even have sufficient arms to fight with. On the other hand, the Mushrikîn were over a thousand and were armed to the teeth. However, ...

JUZZ -3 This summary of the third Juzz commences at verse 253 of Sûrah Âl Baqara and concludes at verse of 91 of Sûrah Âl Imrân. Beginning of Third Juz Allâh declares all interest-related transactions to be undeniably Harâm towards the end of Sûrah Baqara. The Sûrah also relates the incidents of two Ambiyâ Alayhimus Salâm whose hearts Allâh put at ease when He demonstrated to them how He resurrects the dead. Throughout Sûrah Baqara, Allâh repeatedly emphasises the importance of pondering over the verses of the Qur'ân. At the very end of the Sûrah, Allâh teaches man the method of making du'â as well as the words to be used. The first eighteen verses of Sûrah Âl Imrân make it clear that only Allâh is worthy of worship, that the Day of Qiyâmah will certainly dawn and that the people will definitely be rewarded and punished for their actions. Allâh tells mankind that the Qur'ân was revealed to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Allâh also speaks of the ...

JUZZ-2 This summary of the second Juzz begins at ayah 142 -252 of Surah Al Baqara. Beginning of Second Juz The beginning of the second Juz discusses the change of Qiblah. Allâh commands the Muslims to face towards the Ka'bah instead of Baitul Muqaddas [Jerusalem] when performing Salâh. Consequently, Muslims will always be required to face towards the Ka'bah wherever they may be. Allâh also prohibits the eating of carrion (dead animals), blood, swine and all animals that have been sacrificed in the name of any being besides Allâh. To a very large extent, Sûrah Baqara discusses the complete message of Islâm, dealing with matters such as the rights of Allâh, the rights of man, the method of living and the principles of social interaction. It also outlines laws pertaining to Salâh, Zakâh and Haj. In addition to this, charity, social welfare, mutual consultation, marriage, divorce, Iddah [waiting period after a woman is divorced or widowed], bequests, commerce and givi...

  JUZZ -1 This summary covers the first one Juzu of the Qur'ân, beginning with Sûrah Fâtiha and concluding with verse 141 of Sûrah Baqara. Start of First Juz Sûrah Fâtiha is usually referred to as Al Hamd Sharîf. Although this Sûrah was not the first Sûrah of the Qur'ân to be revealed, it is the first to be written in Qur'ânic manuscripts and the first to be recited when commencing recitation (Tilâwah) of the Qur'ân. Sûrah Fâtiha is a du'â [supplication] that Allâh has taught mankind. Therefore, when a person recites Sûrah Fâtiha, s/he is actually making a du'â to Allâh. The rest of the Qur'ân follows as a reply to this du'â. In this du'â a person pleads to Allâh to show him the straight path [Sirâtul Mustaqîm]. Thereafter, Allâh gives man the entire Qur'ân as the guidance he asked for and as a description of the Sirâtul Mustaqîm which he wants to tread. Sûrah Baqara follows Sûrah Fâtiha, in which Allâh says that the Qur'ân is a ...
