Surah: 73 Aya: 19-20 Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way. Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muhammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allah determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Quran. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah . So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah . It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah . Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. As Salaamun Alaikum Sisters and Brothers, The Women in the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad were also a part of the Plan of Allah. They were not just there for having children and house cleaning as many learned individuals would have us to believe. Our wives are not “Maids”…they are our “Mates”…they are not our “Property” they are our “Partners”. Please join the group “Women in the Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad” and participate as much as possible and keep it clean and respectful. All new information will be posted in the group and then posted to other groups later. Those members in the group will have first looks at information posted. We will also be posting a four-page list of the Quran with the order of how it was revealed according to chapters! Surah Muzzammil (wrapped up) was the third chapter revealed in the Quran. Some verses in certain chapters were revealed at different times and I will do my best to bring this important information forward as we go along. We are dealing with verses that deal with women, but this verse from the Quran address men and women who were diligent in their prayers behind enemy lines. PRAYING ALL NIGHT LOING!!! Let us go to the Tafsir of Ibn Kathir and MaAriful Ul Quran for commentary: The Obligatory Nature of Tahajud Prayer Abrogated At the beginning of the Surah, the command stand at night (for prayer) prescribed the night-prayer for Allahs Messenger as well as for the general body of Muslims. It was also obligatory for the prayer to be long, but they had a choice in its length. They had to pray for half the night or one-third of the night or two-thirds of the night. A group of noble Companions in the performance of this duty mostly followed the az;mah (preferred original rule of law). As a result, they spent almost two thirds of the night in prayer. They performed this prayer every night. During the day they would invite people to Islam and preach and attend to their personal needs. Most of the Companions were either laborers or businessmen. The Messengers as well as the Companions feet would swell on account of the long prayers. And during the night, wake up for Salah, an additional prayer for you [17:79 This verse prescribes Tahajjud s an additional prayer specially for the Your Lord knows ...Now, recite as much of the Quran as is easy (for you) [73:20] This verse was revealed one year or eight months after the initial verses of this Surah. Thus the obligatory nature of night-prayer was abrogated after a year. Musnad of Ahmad, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and Nasai record a narration of Sayyidah Aishah who stated that at the commencement of this Surah, Allah had prescribed the night-prayer. The Messenger of Allah and the blessed Companions constantly had consistently carried out the obligation for a year. Allah held back the last part of the Surah in the sky for twelve months. It was revealed after a year which abrogated the obligatory status of night-prayer and made concession - reducing its status to supererogation. [Ra-ul-Mani} Tafsir Ma Ariful Quran This Ayah, rather, this entire Surah was revealed in Makkah even though fighting was not legislated until after it was revealed. Thus, it is among the greatest of the signs of Prophet hood because it informs about unseen matters of the future. Tafsir Ibn Kathir This information will be followed by videos on the Tafsir of verse 20 of chapter Muzzammil
