Disobedience to Allah - Verse 5 Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

In this commentary, we review verse five which reads: Those who oppose Allāh and His Messenger (in the observance of Allāh’s boundaries) will certainly be abased (in this world) even as those (who did likewise) before them were abased. We have certainly sent down clear revelations (to guide you to happiness in both worlds). And as for the unbelievers, there will be a humiliating punishment.

Spousal Reconciliation - Part 2 of 2 - Verse 4 Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

In part five we review the third verse of Surah al-Mujadilah: Whoever does not find (means to do that), let him fast two (lunar) months consecutively before they, (the spouses), touch each other. And he who is not able to do so, (his penance shall be) to feed sixty destitute ones. This is in order that you perfect your faith in Allāh and His Messenger (so that you believe in the truth of whatever Allāh has enjoined and His Messenger conveyed to you, and live accordingly). These are the bounds of Allāh. And for the unbelievers there is a painful punishment.

Spousal Reconciliation - Part 1 of 2 - Verse 3 Jul 27, 2020

Show notes

In this part of our commentary we review the third verse of Surah al-Mujadilah which reads: "Those who declare their wives unlawful for them (by using that abhorred expression) and thereafter wish to go back on the words they have uttered must free a slave before they (the spouses) have physical contact with each other. This is what you are urged to do. And Allāh is fully aware of what you do (so do not seek to evade this act of penance and expiation for your wrong-doing)."

Husband and Wife – Verse 2 Jul 24, 2020

Show notes

In this part, we review verse 2 in which Allah says: Those among you who declare their wives to be unlawful for them by using the expression: “Be as my mother’s back to me,” (should know that) their wives are not their mothers. Their mothers are none other than the women who gave them birth. Such men certainly utter a word abhorred (by the religion) and a falsehood. Yet Allāh is surely All-Pardoning, (He overlooks the faults of His servants) All-Forgiving.

Allah Hears the Appeal - Verse 1 Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

Allah has indeed heard and accepted the words of the woman who pleads with you, Muḥammad, concerning her husband and refers her complaint to Allah. Allah hears the dialogue between you, Khawlah and Prophet Muḥammad. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

Show notes

This chapter has twenty-two (22) verses and was revealed in Medina and it is the only chapter of the Quran in which all of the verses contain the blessed name of Allah.

Due to the event of the dispute (jidāl) which is referred to in the first verse, this chapter has taken on the name of al-Mujādilah.

The areas of discussion which are contained in this chapter include:

1. The jurisprudential rule of ẓihār – a form of divorce which existed during the pre-Islamic era of jāhiliyyah;

2. Positive and negative examples of private discussions (najwā);

3. Respecting people who enter into gatherings; 4. Separation between the party of Allah (ḥizbullāh) and the party of Satan (ḥizbushayṭān).
