SUMMARY 〰〰〰〰 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. 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-Maida, 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. The chapter then continues to discuss the lessons to be learned from previous prophets, and invites the People of the Book to evaluate the message of Islam. Allah warns believers about mistakes that others made in the past, such as discarding part of a book of revelation, or making religious claims without knowledge. Detail is given about the life and teachings of Moses as an example. One of the central themes of Sûrah Mâidah is that the laws of the Sharîah must be revered and upheld. In explaining this, the following injunctions have been highlighted: 🔺1. Hunting is prohibited after entering into the ihrâm. 🔺2. Halâl animals may be consumed only when they are slaughtered in Allâhs name. Haram lists as: *Carrion is Harâm, *as is the flesh of pigs, *those animals that have been slaughtered in the name of any being besides Allâh, *those animals that have been throttled, *those that were beaten to death, *those that fell to their deaths, *those killed by collision, and *those that died after being attacked by wild beasts. 🔺3. Allâh tells man that he should never attempt to foretell the future by means of omens and other means of divining because such acts are the practice of sinners. All good and evil are in Allâhs control. Allâh tells the Muslims that they should have firm faith in their Dîn of Islâm which Allâh has perfected, thereby completing His enormous bounty on them. Therefore, Muslims should uphold the sanctity of Islâmic injunctions and critically distinguish between the lawful and the unlawful. Muslims are enjoined to abstain from evil and to be grateful. Sûrah Mâidah contains laws that relate to mans religious, civil, social and political life. This Sûrah contains detailed guidance about: 🔺The etiquette of the Hajj journey 🔺Revering the landmarks of Dîn 🔺The perimeters of Halâl and Harâm 🔺Marriage and interaction with the Ahlul Kitâb [Jews and Christians] 🔺The laws of Wudhu, Ghusl and Tayammum 🔺Dealing with rebellion 🔺The punishment for robbery and theft 🔺The prohibition of liquor and gambling 🔺The Kafâra [atonement] for breaking vows and 🔺The detailed laws concerning testimony. Allâh ordains that the hand of a male or female thief is to be cut off. The Muslims are also warned against taking the Jews and Christians as friends. Allâh makes it clear that the belief in the Trinity constitutes kufr and that enmity and hatred for the Muslims have been entrenched into the hearts of the Kuffâr until Qiyâmah. Allâh entreats Rasulullâh Sallallahu alayhi wasallam, not to be grieved about the disbelief of the Kuffâr because he is not responsible for them. Sûrah Mâidah also states that Jannah is forbidden for the Mushrikîn and that oppressors will have none to aid them against Allâh. Allâh says that those people of the past who adhered to the divine religions of their times will attain salvation if they firmly believed in Allâh and in the Day of Qiyâmah. End of the Sixth Juz
