Ruku - 3
Ayat - 22
Theme - In this Surah instructions have been given to the Muslims about the different problems that confronted them at that time.
- In Verses: 1-6 legal injunctions about zihar have been given, along with which the Muslims have been strictly warned that it is contrary to their profession of the Faith that they should still persist in the practices of ignorance after they have accepted Islam.
- In Verses: 7-10 the hypocrites have been taken to task for their secret whisperings and consultations by which they conspired and intrigued against the Holy Prophet (SAW).
- The Muslims have been consoled, as if to say: "These whisperings of the hypocrites can do no harm to you; therefore, you should go on doing your duty with full trust in Allah"
- In Verses: 11-13 the Muslims have been taught certain manners of social behaviour and given instructions to eradicate certain social evils which were prevalent among the people.
- If some people are sitting in an assembly, and more people arrive, they should "show courtesy and do accommodate the new-comers with an open heart."
- If people go on a visit to somebody, they should not prolong their sitting and when the people are asked to rise up from an assembly, they should rise up and disperse.
- If any person wished to have secret counsel individually with the Holy Prophet (SAW), he should first give away something in charity.
- From Verse 14 to the end of the Surah members of the Muslim society, which was a mixture of the sincere Muslims and the hypocrites and the waverers, have been told plainly as to what is the criterion of sincerity in Islam.
- One kind of Muslims are those who are friends with the enemies of Islam:
- They do not hesitate for the sake of their interests to be treacherous to the religion which they profess to believe in; they spread all sorts of doubts and suspicions against Islam and prevent the people from adopting the Way of Allah.
- The second kind of Muslims are those who, in the matter of Allah's Religion, do not care even for their own father, brother, children, and family.
- They do not cherish any feeling of love for the person who is an enemy of God and His Messenger and His Religion.
