Surah Al-Mujadaala, Chapter 28, Verse 16 Today,
inshallah, I will talk about the last two
surahs in the cluster of surahs from Al
-Mujadaala to Al-Tahrim.
The 28th juz' of the Qur'an, the
Madani juz' – very dynamic – talks about
organizing aspects of the Islamic communities, of Muslim
communities, Muslim individuals with each other, with non
-Muslims, with Muslims who live outside of their
country, with traders, with citizens, with issues of
leadership, issues of priorities, even issues of what
the actual problem in the society is going
to be and what to avoid and what
to prevent from occurring.
The Juza is very rich, it has a
lot of fiqh in it in comparison to
other Juza that we talked about this month,
for example, or in Ramadan since we started
this year.
Almost none of the surahs that we talked
about are heavy with fiqh, they're all just,
they're value-based, they're creed-based, but these
surahs have a lot of fiqh in it
and the scholars have used them over the
years for that purpose.
The last two surahs we're going to be
talking about today, the first one is At
-Talaqah, and At-Talaqah, divorce, is an interesting
surah because it talks about the civil law
that exists in Islam.
It's going to address that, it's going to
talk about organizing that aspect.
Surah Tahrim is going to talk about family,
the importance of keeping people together, so these
surahs kind of balance themselves out.
Why did it start with At-Talaqah?
Because marriage is something that all of humanity
has agreed upon.
No matter where you go and search historically,
you'll find that people have always married.
It's been a part of every faith, it's
been a part of every society.
What humanity has not agreed upon is divorce
and how to deal with it and what
it's supposed to look like.
It's a very stressful and strenuous occurrence when
it does happen.
It's extremely difficult.
Everyone going through it is suffering.
It's agonizing for all parties, for both spouses
and both families.
And it's a social catastrophe when it actually
occurs and people try to avoid it as
much as possible.
And it leaves a lot of scars and
it leaves even bad memories.
So the reason that we have a surah
that's talking about it is because this has
to be organized, it has to be done
properly.
There's no way to avoid the occurrence of
divorce in any society.
It will happen, it's needed.
It's needed because it happens that people come
together and then it just doesn't work out.
They try, they put in their effort, they
try to see eye to eye and be
compatible and it just doesn't work.
And they're both unhappy and both miserable.
Well, there's a way out.
But how is that going to be?
I mean, if you look at most divorces
that occur, usually they're filled with anger and
there's a lot of ghiba and namima and
there's a lot of backstabbing and foul play
and bad things that are said.
And the relationship ends up between both spouses,
both exes become extremely disrespectful.
And both families, the relationship becomes disrespectful even
though most of them are sharing grandchildren, which
is very confusing and difficult for the children.
So the topic is hot and it's real.
And today, I don't think the world has
ever seen divorce rates as high as exist
today in the world, globally, everywhere.
To be honest, or initially the Muslim world
was kind of immune to these rates.
And recently over the last 10 years, the
Muslim world is just equal to the rest
of the world in the divorce rates that
exist within it, which is why this surah
is very important.
This is a social occurrence.
It needs a civil law attached to it
to organize it.
And that's why when you go through the
surah, you'll find it's the surah that has
the recurrence of وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ the most.
Out of the whole Qur'an, the density,
the frequency of وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ in Surah
At-Talaq is the highest.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًۭا Allah Subh
'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la will give him
an outing, find him a way out.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ وَيُعْظِمْ لَهُ
أَجْرَاهُ And those who show piety to Allah
Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la or behave
with piety and awareness of Allah Subh'anaHu
Wa Ta-A'la, their sins will be
forgiven and Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
'la will elevate their rank.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا
Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la will
ease their way.
And the reason that it's repeated so many
times because this is the one of the
most important moments in your life that taqwa
is going to be needed.
You have to practice taqwa at the moment
of divorce, that's when it matters.
If you're someone who seems to have taqwa
all year round and then when this something
like this happens, there's no more taqwa, that
means it didn't really count because this is
where it should show itself.
فَإِذَا بَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ فَارِقُهُنَّ
بِمَعْرُوفٍ When divorce occurs and you guys decide,
okay, we're going to split now, then it
should happen with ma'ruf.
There should be respect in the way this
is going to occur.
It shouldn't be based on hatred.
And the Qur'an actually, just to kind
of point that out for you, وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَيْ
عَدْلٍ مِّنْكُمْ And have two witnesses.
Traditionally, talaqa never needed witnesses.
If you take that verse, you can go
and do that and read the verse and
read the tafsir on it.
You'll find that, you know, there's a lot
of difference of opinion regarding how to actually
implement this verse.
Most madhab don't require two witnesses.
But the Qur'an is saying that you
need it.
وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ مِّنْكُمْ وَأَقِيمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ لِلَّهِ And
the reason that I think that this is
an important aspect or something or a blind
spot that existed maybe for the Muslims in
the first millennium that needs to be changed
today is that people don't deal with marriage
and divorce as strictly as they used to
do.
Today everything is based on a contract, something
that is written.
And just like we get married needing a
contract, the Qur'an is saying that when
you divorce, there should be witnesses, which means
it should be a contract as well.
You don't get upset and find yourself divorcing,
getting married, but you can get upset and
find yourself divorcing your wife.
And that's at least how the fiqh of
it works or used to.
And throughout the centuries scholars have moved to
change that and needs to change even more.
Because, you know, something that you enter in
with a contract, you should leave with a
contract as well.
It shouldn't be based on emotion.
And that's what the Qur'an kind of
alludes to here.
Nonetheless, it's still important that you hold your
tongue in using the word divorce.
وَاتَّقِ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهُ
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهُ And then the ayat continue
to explain if a lady divorces her husband
or gets divorced, and she has a child
who is breastfeeding, أَسْكِنُوا هُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنْتُم
مِنْ وُجَدِكُمْ is the obligation of the man
to make sure she has a place to
live and to continue to take care of
her for the period of time after the
initial divorce until his final.
In that time, the lady can figure out
where she's going to go, and the family
can find out, you know, they can figure
out a plan.
وَلَا تُضَارُّهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ And make sure that,
and the command to the man not to
harm his ex-wife and make it difficult
for her.
وَإِن كُنَّ أُولَٰتِ حَمْلٍ فَأَنفِقُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ حَتَّى يَضَعَنَ
حَمْلَهُ And if she's pregnant, you continue to
give her her nafqa until she gives birth.
And then if she's going to breastfeed, then
she has to be, he has to take
care of her financially for that as well.
And the verses just explain the nature of
the relationship and what the obligations of the
man is towards his wife if he divorces
her and what happens after that.
And then at the end, just right after
that's done, the ayat become very powerful and
very scary.
وَكَأَيِّمْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ
فَحَاسَبْنَاهَا حِسَابًا شَدِيدًا وَعَذَّبْنَاهَا عَذَابًا نُكْرًا فَذَاقَتْ
وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَاقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْرًا Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala says, and there's been many
groups of people who were told what the
rulings of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala were.
They refused and then they were punished severely
and held accountable even more severely on the
day of judgment and they found themselves in
a state of loss.
And the ayat are scaring, specifically men, regarding
how they're going to deal with divorce if
it's going to occur.
Because the verses were very explicit in explaining,
there has to be with ma'ruf, there
has to be taqwa Allah and all of
this, and if that's not going to happen
then this is going to be the alternative.
And the verses continue to convince, رَسُولًا يَتْلُو
عَلَيْكُمْ أَيَاتِ اللَّهِ مُبَيِّنَاتٍ لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى
النُّورِ Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has sent
you a prophet and he is teaching you
things that will take you from a state
of darkness to a state of enlightenment.
And the last verse, الله الذي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ
سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزِّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ
لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ
اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا Allah created
seven cosmos, seven skies, seven is just a
number that refers to a lot or endless
is what Arabs use the number seven for.
And he's created as many earths and planets
as he created cosmos.
And his command soars through all of them
to come to you, so that you know
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is capable
of all and he has knowledge of all
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So he's telling you this is how it's
supposed to happen.
This is how this social occurrence needs to
happen.
And these are the rulings that surround it.
I believe that as Muslims if we observe
that and learn from it, then our situations
regarding stuff like this would be much better.
It's just very difficult to see a divorce
happen these days.
It's very painful.
Just people who are very good in general
and you know them, their ethics just lose
their ethics and lose their morals and lose
their character.
They start saying and doing things they wouldn't
do out of anger and out of spite
and out of...
The whole surah...
Just make sure you have taqwa as you
do this.
It's sad that we are struggling with one
of the most basic human functions, which is
marriage.
One of the most basic things that a
human being does in his life is get
married, have a family.
And we're struggling with that as Muslims.
And now we've lost our way to that
point, to that point.
But if divorce is going to occur, then
may it occur properly.
May it happen with bima'roof, in respect.
And show piety and awareness of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala as you do it.
And follow the rulings.
Don't use kids as weapons.
Don't use money as weapons.
Don't use the house as weapons.
Don't use things as weapons.
If you've decided that we need to part
ways, do it nicely.
Do it respectfully.
Or else read the last part of surah
at-talaq and listen to the warning of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And the warning of misunderstanding Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
And the warning of hypocrisy.
These are systematic issues in the lives of
Muslims.
They are concluded in two surahs that talk
about family.
The first one starts with the hadith about
divorce.
And I hate the halal to Allah.
And perhaps divorce is the worst experience that
a human being can go through in his
life if he has gone through it.
If he has gone through it, insha'Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala, we have gone through
it.
But the one who has gone through this
experience realizes that it is very tiring.
And it is very painful for both parties.
For the man and the woman.
And for their families.
But sometimes it is a must.
It is a must in societies.
Humanity has agreed on marriage.
Humanity has not agreed on divorce.
There are religions that do not allow it.
And there are religions that calculate divorce in
different ways.
So Islam organized the issue of divorce.
In this surah, they talk about a family
issue.
About a family law.
How is divorce done?
You will find that this surah is repeated.
وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ
أَخْرَجًا وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ
يُسْرَهُ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ It
is repeated with the word taqwa.
It is repeated with the word taqwa.
Because this is the situation in which your
taqwa will manifest.
ربما دائما تظهر للناس تقي.
إذا وقع على سمح الله الطلاق هنا يظهر
فعلا تقوى الإنسان من عدم تقواه.
هذه لحظة صعبة جدا في حياة الإنسان.
فإذا بلغن أجلهن فأمسكوهن بمعروف أو فارقوهن بمعروف.
بمعروف.
دخلت بمعروف اطلع بمعروف.
لا تدخل بمعروف وتخرج بغيبة ونميمة وشتم وبغضاء
وكراهية.
ويستخدمون الأطفال كأسلحة ويستخدمون البيوت والمال.
وكل عائلة تتحدث عن الأخرى.
لماذا هذا كله؟
هذا والله ما ينبغي.
يعني معدلات الطلاق ارتفعت في بلادنا.
كنا نتحدث عن الغرب نشوف الطلاق عندهم.
طيب نشوف ليشمت سبحان الله.
يقع فيما شمت فيه.
أصبح عندنا الأمر كما أصبح عندهم.
تساوينا في معدلاته للأسف الشديد.
فإذا كان شيء لا بد منه فليحدث باحترام.
هذه السورة كلها تعطيك هذه المعاني.
وتنظم الفقه في فقه الطلاق.
شوف الآية ترى فيها واشهدوا ذوي عدل.
واشهدوا ذوي عدل.
يعني تحتاج إلى شهود.
الطلاق الذي اعتدناه هو تقول كلمة وتمشي.
القرآن يقول واشهدوا ذوي عدل.
راجعها إن أردت أن تنظر في فقه وتاريخها
وكيف فهمها العلماء.
لكن ربما هذه من الأمور التي تغافل عنها
أو تركها أهل العلم.
لما اشتهر بينهم في خطيط الطلاق.
لكن الذي تدخل فيه بعقد.
والأفضل والله أعلم نخرج منه بعقد.
لأن أحلام الناس والذمم ومرؤة الناس تلاشت.
أصبح الرجل لا يتحكم بلسانه.
ما معقول الإنسان يتزوج بعقد وقرار.
ثم يطلق بساعة غضب.
الذي تدخله بقرار تخرج منه بقرار.
هذا أقل ما يمكن.
تختم سورة الطلاق بآيات شديدة.
تحذيرية.
وكأي من قرية نعتت عن أمر ربي.
يحذرون الله سبحانه وتعالى.
أمرتكم علمتكم كيف يتم الطلاق والأحكام المتعلقة به.
لا تضرهن لتضيقوا عليهم.
ما ينبغي للرجل أن يؤذي زوجته في العدتها.
وإذا كانت حامل ينفق عليها.
وإذا رأت أن ترضع فينفق عليها.
هذا واجبه.
وإذا عتى فأعد الله لهم عذابا شديدة.
فاتقوا الله يا أولي الألباب الذين آمنوا.
قد أنزل الله إليكم ذكرى.
يحذرنا سبحانه وتعالى من العتوية عن أمره في
مثل هذا الأمر.
غضيط الطلاق.
نسأل الله سبحانه وتعالى أن يبعدنا عنها.
السورة التحريم.
سورة التحريم تتحدث عن العائلة.
تتحدث عن علاقات بين زوجات.
وهي قصة مهمة في البداية.
لأن النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام أحببت الحلوى.
وعندما كان هناك حلوى في أحد هذه المنازل.
كان يذهب ويحاول أن يأكل بعضها.
لأنه استمتعت به.
فأحد يوما ذهب إلى منزل زوجته.
لأنها أخبرته أنني أعطيت لها قصة حلوى صغيرة.
تعالي لتأكل بعض الحلوى.
فذهب.
وعائشة رأيته ذهب إلى المنزل.
ورأيت حفصة.
ولم يحبها.
فقرروا أن يخبره أنه لديه رائحة سيئة.
بعد أن يأكل الحلوى.
النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام أحببت الحلوى.
وكان يقبل أن يكون هناك رائحة سيئة.
تأتي من أي جزء منه.
لم يشعر به.
ولكن هذا ما أخبرته.
فالنبي عليه الصلاة والسلام قال.
حسناً.
أنتما أخبروني أن هناك رائحة سيئة.
أنا لن أأكل هذا العسل مرة أخرى.
لقد حرمت نفسي من أن أفعل ذلك مرة
أخرى.
فقرر القرآن أن يخبر النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام.
لماذا تحرم ما أحل الله لك؟
لماذا تحرم نفسك من أن تفعل شيء حلال؟
تبتغي مرضاة أزواجك.
أنت تحاول أن ترحم زوجاتك بأن تحرم نفسك
من شيء حلال.
نحن لن نحاول أن نحرم زوجاتنا.
بالطبع أنت ذلك.
أنت لا تحتاج القرآن لإخبارك بذلك.
هذا كيف تعمل الحياة.
القرآن مليئ بذلك.
ومحاولة النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام مليئ بذلك.
فما هو المشكلة هنا؟
المشكلة هنا أكثر.
إنها في الواقع مثيرة للإهتمام.
إذا أردت أن تحرم نفسك من شيء ليس
مشكلة.
ليس حرام.
إنه حلال.
بحاجة إلى شخص آخر هذا سيؤثر على علاقتك.
زوجاتك وزوجات أمهاتك لا يجب أن تسأل زوجاتهم
لا يجب أن تسأل زوجاتهم وشخص لا يجب
أن يسأل زوجاتهم أن تترك شيء حلال الذي
يعجبهم.
لأن هذا سيؤثر على علاقتهم في المستقبل.
قد يفعلون ذلك في البداية عندما يكون هناك
الكثير من الحب والأشياء مازالت أسابيع.
ولكن لاحقا إذا أردت أن تحرم شخصا من
شيء يحبه وليس هناك سبب جيد لذلك ستنتهي
من تحرم طبيعة علاقتهم.
وذلك هو العلم من الله سبحانه وتعالى في
هذه القصة يقول للنبي عليه الصلاة والسلام لا
تفعل ذلك.
ومن ثم الله سبحانه وتعالى أخبر النبي عليه
الصلاة والسلام ماذا حدث؟
وَإِذْ أَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ حَدِيثًا فَلَمَّا
نَبَّأْتْ بِهِ وَأَظْهَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَرَّفَ بَعْضَهُ وَأَعْرَضَ
عَنْ بَعْضٍ فالنبي عليه الصلاة والسلام أخبر حفظة
أنني لن أكل هذا الحلوى بعد فقط لا
تخبر أحد حفظة ذهبت وخبرت عائشة وفي بعض
الحلوى هذا هو الطريقة المناسبة ولكن هذا لا
يهم زوجتها أعطت مرحلة التي طلبتها أن لا
تفعلها وقرآن حدث ووضح فالنبي عليه الصلاة والسلام
فَلَمَّا نَبَأْتْ بِهِ وَأَظْهَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَرَّفَ بَعْضَهُ
وَأَعْرَضَ عَنْ بَعْضٍ النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام أخبرت
عائشة عن ما حدث عن الحقيقة أنهم حاولوا
حقيقة أنها أخبرت سرها وقال لها أنه لا
يجب أن تفعل ذلك لكنه لم يتحدث لعائشة
عن الحقيقة أنهم وضعوا معاً حفظة لتوقفه from
eating the honey that he likes he didn't
talk about that at all عَرَّفَ بَعْضَهُ he
talked to her about the fact I told
you a secret you shouldn't tell someone else
the secret that I shared with you I
asked you to keep this private but he
didn't talk to them about the fact that
they plotted وَأَعْرَضَ عَنْ بَعْضٍ عائشة حفظة found
out that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
knew about the plot from the Quran from
reading سورة التحرين that's how they knew the
prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم knew he didn't
come and say you got caught he didn't
say anything it's a very high level of
selflessness and love and respect that you don't
have to rub it in you don't have
to prove the person wrong the prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم didn't talk about the plot
he left that out we don't need to
go in there I don't have to open
that you'll figure out that was wrong on
your own he just talked about one thing
which is the trust you can't tell my
secrets I won't trust you anymore if you
do that's important but the actual little scheme
they made he didn't talk about صلى الله
عليه وسلم I think it's a very high
level of you have to be a bigger
person to be able to within a relationship
not to do that not to point out
the mistake of your spouse when you have
full evidence of it and Aisha and Hafsaf
were told that the prophet صلى الله عليه
وسلم knows about what you did when they
recited سورة التحريم and they were told in
سورة التحريم you have to perform توبة from
doing this انت توبة الى الله فقد صغت
قلوبكما وانت ظاهر عليه فان الله هو مولاه
وجبريل وصالح المؤمنين والملائكة بعد ذلك ظاهر الله
سبحانه وتعالى that will stand by him if
you plot against him and it shows the
nature of relationships that occur of the relationship
between spouses and how there's sometimes there will
be problems and issues and how you're supposed
to deal with it in a classy manner
in a respectful manner the prophet صلى الله
عليه وسلم has the example here عرف بعضه
وآرضا بعضه he left some of it out
didn't see the reason to point it out
to them they'll learn from the Quran and
they'll make tawbah on their own then the
verses talk about family يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
قُوْا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ
عَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظًا شِدَادًا or those who believe
protect yourselves and your families your wives and
your kids and your spouses and your children
from a fire that will be that's going
to be kindled with حجارة with rock and
the human being عَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظًا a very
scary verse شِدَادُوا لَّا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرُهُمْ
there are angels that stand by and they're
very rough and they do exactly what Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala tells them to do
protect yourself by building a strong family by
building a pious family by treating yourselves treating
each other with the best behavior you can
come up with be the best person you
can with your spouse like the Prophet ﷺ
it's a beautiful verse I think it's worth
contemplation and I really did summarize it quite
condensedly if you go and read the story
there's more details that you'd probably benefit from
and then the verses actually start at the
end of the surah they give this they
give three examples ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا
امْرَأَةَ نُوحٍ وَامْرَأَةَ لُوطًا two examples sorry, four
examples in total وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِلَّذِينَ آمِنُوا
امْرَأَةَ فِرْعَوْنِ وَمَرِّمَ بِنَتَى عِمْرَانِ Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala at the end of this surah
and the end of this juz' gives an
example of disbelievers and an example of believers
I think it's very relevant to the surah's
theme of family and all four examples talk
about women the ultimate example of kufr were
two women and the ultimate example of true
iman were two women because that's families without
without mothers and wives that are pious don't
function I mean, a lady the lady of
the house will make the family or destroy
it and they know that and the Quran
is reminding them reminding them of that their
importance and sometimes the men aren't as appreciative
as they need to be and they take
things for granted and so do the children
but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't which
is maybe something that's worth kind of noting
here that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't
take them for granted Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala acknowledges the fact that their effect is
stronger than the effect of everyone else so
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives the two
ultimate examples of kufr was the wife of
Nuh and the wife of Lut and when
he gave two examples of iman two ultimate
examples of iman he didn't give there's no
men in these examples at all he just
gave it's not the example of kufr iman
in women no it's general examples of kufr
and iman Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala chose
for women because of the effect that they
have their iman and their kufr goes beyond
themselves the effect is not just limited to
themselves it goes everywhere it affects their kids
it affects their husbands it affects society society
is only as good as the women that
live in it and again that's been known
historically for many many years and that's why
Islam focused on changing the status of women
within it to allow society to prosper and
unfortunately we've regressed in some places back to
even it was before Jailiya unfortunately and that's
something that should change and the two examples
of the believers was Imra'at Fir'awn
the wife of Fir'awn Asiya she was
married to the worst dictator that ever lived
or that the Qur'an ever noted and
spoke of and she was the example of
iman and then the second example is Mary,
the Virgin Mary giving examples of what they
did because that's how you hold on to
societies I mean this whole juz' is talking
about regulating and organizing matters of society and
of people's lives the last four verses or
three verses of the whole juz' is talking
about the ultimate examples of believing and disbelieving
women and the importance that they carry and
the weight that's on their shoulders and the
effect that they have on all of this
working out of all this actually happening and
that's the concept of Sufism it talks about
the importance of relationships building those relationships maintaining
those relationships and building them on trust and
then making sure that we protect ourselves and
our families from punishment yawm al qiyamah and
a lot of that is going to be
on the ladies of the household and that
will become very clear to you insha'Allah
The Surah ends with four examples of faith
and disbelief.
Allah, Glorified and Sublime be He, chose for
these examples two women and two men.
He did not choose men.
This is not only to glorify the value
of women, but also to influence them in
society and in the family.
If a woman is a believer, a Muslim,
a rational person, a scholar, the higher the
rank of a woman in society, the higher
the value of the society.
The lower the rank of a woman in
society, the lower the value of the society.
This is something that historians and scholars know.
He gave two examples, the example of Noah's
wife and Lot's wife, based on the example
of disbelief and the example of faith, based
on the example of Pharaoh's wife and Mary's
wife.
This is to glorify her value and to
explain to her that any organization in society
will fail if there are no good women.
I hope that was beneficial.
Subhanakallah wa bihamdika shalom.
La ilaha illa anta astaghfiru wa atubu ilayk.
