Brief Summary from JUZ "4"

·         Ayah 92 – The best thing about a believer is that she spends in the way of Allah the things which  she loves the most.
This evidences the superiority of her faith – she desires nothing more than Allah so when required, she is willing to part with things she is attached with to seek greater closeness with Alla.

·         Ayah 93 to102 – Discussion on the Prophets sent to the People of the Book
The Jews changed dietary laws after Yaqub (a.s). They also did not follow the Ibrahim’s (a.s) direction for prayer (Ka’bah). This evidences that the Prophets of Allah were subservient to Him while their nations, such that of the Jews followed their own desires.

Ayah 103to 112 – Allah’s Rope is the religion of Islam – it connects the believers to the way Allah requires us to live. We are commanded to hold fast to the rope of Allah, without making any alterations (changes) in it. This evidences the importance of unity over the understanding of Islam, in meaning and in action. It also negates the existence of sectarianism.

·         Ayah 112 -120... Good and Bad qualities of the People of the Book
Jews abandoned the rope of Allah and they killed the Prophets. However they are not all the same. Some recite the Book Allah gave them and spend the night in worship (prostration).

·         Ayah 120,123-125, 135 The most important rule in battle is  patience and taqwa تصبروا و تتقوا
Do not be hasty to perform acts of violence.
If you are patient over what you are suffering and fear Allah ( not retaliate unjustly), Allah will help you with 5000 angels who will defend you on His behalf.
Allah will give you the victory He gave at Badr if you abstain from sins and perform all kinds of good deeds with gratitude.

·         Ayah 133-135 Run to the forgiveness of Allah

·         Ayah 134 - Five qualities of the people beloved to Allah
  الذين ينفقون في السرا ا و ضراا.... و الكظمين الغيظ.... فاستغفروا والذ نوبهم

·         Ayah139 – Lessons from the Battle of Uhud:
The qualities necessary to win against the disbelievers is true sincere faith in Allah – not weapons, numbers, international recognition etc

·         Ayah 149 – Lessons from the Battle of Uhud:
-Accept the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) as leader
-Reason for defeat: love of material things and disobedience to the Prophet (s.a.w)

·         Ayah 158 - Death is a reality.
Prepare for it just like you prepare for any  other event of your life.

·         Ayah 191 -200 –
-Beautiful adkhaar and duaas to make constantly in the morning and evening
-Alah will not waste the good deeds of any person, whether it be a man or woman
-The disbelivers may have really amazing lives of fun and luxury but do not let this deceive you. They will met Hellfire very soon.
-Do not grieve for the dunya or chase after it. Be patient and steadfast on the commands of Allah – you will see success soon (Paradise).
