Al-Nisa (148-end) 5. Al-Ma’idah (1-81) Having previously refuted the People of the Book and their beliefs with regards to Esa ( Jesus) and his Mother, Mary, Allah now expands on how the People of the Book went wrong. It tells us of how Esa was raised to Allah rather than being crucified on the cross and how the same message was preached by Esa as it was by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them all). In detailing their relationship with Allah and their Prophets, we find lessons for us. The final verse is on inheritance law, exemplifying that social guidance cannot be separated from one’s belief. The Juz continues with the chapter al-Ma’idah (Table Spread), the fifth chapter of the Qur’an. The chapter is named after the spread of food that was requested by the disciples of Esa and its crowning verse (3) is Allah’s declaration that Islam is perfect and His Favour upon us now complete. What can we learn from this Juz? • A large portion of al-Ma’idah, one of the last chapters to be revealed, is taken up with a discussion of contract law and the promises that we give in our lives; • al-Ma’idah mentions 18 rules and regulation not found anywhere else in the Qur’an; • The chapter begins by detailing foods that are unlawful and some types that are lawful; • The verse concerning wudu’ (ablution) which mentions its obligations and the obligations of ghusl (Ritual Bath); • One must bear witness for the sake of Allah and one must always be fair even with people one hates; • The ruling of one who does not judge by Allah’s law; • Rebutting the Christian belief in Esa (peace be upon him) and giving them the opportunity to repent Mufti Menk - Jewels of the Quran - Surah Al-Nisa Watch on youtube day 4: youtube/watch?v=gOHePhDV304&list=PL78F535F3CB23ACB5 or listen to the audio - track 4 livingislam.co.za/phocadownload/audio/mufti_menk_jewels_of_the_quran/4%20Track%202.mp3.AMR on page livingislam.co.za/index.php?option=com_phocadownload&view=category&id=3:tafsir-mufti-menk-jewels-of-the-quran&Itemid=625 Summary of juz 5: From the following ebook: islam21c/books/JuzbyJuzv5.pdf Surahs & Ayaat 4. Al-Nisa (24-147) This Juz continues the chapter of al-Nisa, named after the numerous references to women and injunctions related to them and family life as a whole. The chapter continues to explain the practical legislation from Allah now relevant to the fledgling Muslim community following the loss of life at the Battle of ‘Uhud. Towards the final quarter of the Juz, Allah rejects the possibility of belief in Him being without belief in all of His Messengers – a refutation of the Jews, who rejected Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the Christians who twisted the message of Esa ( Jesus). What can we learn from this Juz? • Family relations, in particular the relationship of husband and wife and how disputes should be resolved if they arise • The command to obey Allah, His Messenger and those placed in authority over us and that any differences must be referred back to the Quran and Sunnah (Teachings of the Prophet Muhammad). • Going to a law besides the law of Allah for judgment is a trait of the hypocrites, indeed they do all they can to turn a person away from Allah’s law! • Practical legal guidance; shortening the prayer while on a journey; a description of prayer at the time of fear; marital law; how to deal with discord; the importance of justice; and rules pertaining to separation – all the while reminding a person of being aware of Allah and fearing Him. • Detail of how the hypocrites align themselves with Allah’s enemies, their laziness in worship, and their final end in the Hereafter.

Aal-e-Imran (92-end) 4. Al-Nisa (1-23) Having appealed to the Christians in the preceding part of Aal-e-‘Imran and the Jews in the previous chapter, Allah now directs His verses to the Muslim community. This begins with a call for the Muslim community to remain united, holding fast to the rope of Allah. It then addresses the battles of Badr and ‘Uhud, detailing the reasons why Badr was a victory against all odds and ‘Uhud the opposite. Allah concludes by reminding us that His Promise is certain and that we must remain patient and have Taqwa (God Consciousness). In this Juz also begins the chapter al-Nisa (Women), named after the numerous references to women and injunctions related to them. This chapter is important, as being revealed after the defeat at ‘Uhud it covers some of the inevitable consequences; widows, orphans and the fair distribution of wealth. What can we learn from this Juz? • The importance of holding fast to Allah’s rope and the significance of unity and not splitting • The high status of the Muslim nation by virtue of their enjoining the good and prohibiting the evil; • The Battle of ‘Uhud which teaches us the evil effects of disobedience; • The qualities of Allah’s righteous servants. Research and consider them well and do your utmost to be one of them! • The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would recite the last verses of Aal-e-‘Imran upon waking up - ponder them carefully; • The chapter al-Nisa’ concentrates on the rights of the weak and downtrodden, the orphans, women, and those oppressed and unable to migrate.
