136. Say (O Muslims), "We believe in
Allâh and that which has been sent down to
us and that which has been sent down to
Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Ismâ'îl (Ishmael), Ishâq
(Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbât
[the offspring of the twelve sons of Ya'qub
(Jacob)], and that which has been given to
Mûsâ (Moses) and 'Îsâ (Jesus), and that
which has been given to the Prophets from
their Lord. We make no distinction between
any of them, and to Him we have submitted
(in Islâm)."
137. So if they believe in the like of that
which you believe, then they are rightly
guided; but if they turn away, then they are
only in opposition. So Allâh will suffice for
you against them. And He is the All-Hearer,
the All-Knower.
138. [Our Sibghah (religion) is] the
Sibghah (Religion) of Allâh (Islâm) and
which Sibghah (religion) can be better than
Allâh's? And we are His worshippers. [Tafsir
Ibn Kathîr.]
صلى الله عليه وسلم Say (O Muhammad .139
to the Jews and Christians), "Dispute you
with us about Allah while He is our Lord and
your Lord? And we are to be rewarded for

enquired, "What is Hanîf?" He said, "Hanif is the religion of (the Prophet) Ibrahim
(Abraham) >JI ule, he was neither a Jew nor a Christian, and he used to worship
none but Allah (Alone) - Islamic Monotheism." Then Zaid went out and met a
Christian religious scholar and told him the same (as before). The Christian said,
"You will not embrace our religion unless you get a share of Allah's Curse." Zaid
replied, "I do not run except from Allah's Curse, and I will never bear any of Allah's
Curse and His Anger if I have the power to avoid them. Will you tell me of some
other religion?" He replied, "I do not know any other religion except Hanif (Islamic
Monotheism)." Zaid enquired, "What is Hanif?" He replied "Hanif is the religion of
(the Prophet) Ibrahim (Abraham) >JI ule, he was neither a Jew nor a Christian,
and he used to worship none but Allah (Alone) - Islamic Monotheism." When Zaid
heard their statement about (the religion of) Ibrahim (Abraham), he left that place,
and when he came out, he raised both his hands and said, "O Allah! I make You
my Witness that I am on the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham)".
Narrated Asmâ bint Abu Bakr Que å l +): I saw Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail standing
with his back against the Ka'bah and saying, "O people of Quraish! By Allâh, none
amongst you is on the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham) except me." She added: He
(Zaid) used to preserve the lives of little girls; if somebody wanted to kill his
daughter he would say to him, "Do not kill her for I will feed her on your behalf." So
he would take her, and when she grew up nicely, he would say to her father, 'Now
if you will (wish), I will give her to you, and if you will (wish), I will feed her on your
behalf." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.5, Hadîth No. 169).

are sincere to Him [in worship and
obedience (i.e. we worship Him Alone and
none else, and we obey His Orders)]."
140. Or say you that Ibrâhîm (Abraham),
Ismâ'îl (Ishmael), Ishâq (Isaac), Ya‘qûb
(Jacob) and Al-Asbât [the offspring of the
twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)] were Jews
or Christians? Say, "Do you know better or
does Allâh (know better ... that they all were
Muslims)? And who is more unjust than he
who conceals the testimony [i.e. to believe
صلى الله عليه وسلم in Prophet Muhammad
when he comes, as is written in their Books.
(See Verse 7:157)] he has from Allâh? And
Allâh is not unaware of what you do."
141. That was a nation who has passed
away. They shall receive the reward of what
they earned, and you of what you earn. And
you will not be asked of what they used to
do.

[1] (V. 2:139):
a) "Narrated Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to pray so
much that his feet used to become edematous or swollen, and when he was asked
as to why he prays so much, he would say: "Shall I not be a thankful slave (to
Allâh)?" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, Hadith No. 478).
b) Narrated 'Aishah رضى الله عنها :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Do good deeds
properly, sincerely and moderately, and receive good news because one's good
deeds will not make him enter Paradise." They asked, "Even you, O Allah's
Messenger?" He said, "Even I, unless and until Allâh protects or covers me with
His pardon and His Mercy." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, Hadith No. 474).
c) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "If |
had gold equal to the mountain of Uhud, it would not please me that anything of it
should remain with me after three nights (i.e., I would spend all of it in Allah's
Cause) except what I would keep for repaying debts." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 8,
Hadith No. 452.
d) Narrated 'Abdullah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Who among
you considers the wealth of his heirs dearer to him than his own wealth?" They
replied, "O Allah's Messenger! There is none among us but loves his own wealth
more." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "So his wealth is whatever he spends (in
Allâh's Cause), during his life (on good deeds) while the wealth of his heirs is
whatever he leaves after his death." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, Hadith No. 449)
e) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "While a dog
was going round a well and was about to die of thirst, an Israeli prostitute saw it
and took off her shoes and watered it. So Allah forgave her because of that good
deed." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 673).

سَيَقُولُ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَا وَلَّئُهُمْ عَن
قِبْلَئِمُ الَِّ كَانُوا عَلَيْهَا قُل لِلَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ
يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَى صِرَطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطَّا لِّنَكُونُواْ
شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ
شَهِيدٌأُ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِى كُنْتَ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا
لِنَعْلَمَ مَن يَقَّبِعُ الرَّسُولَ مِمَن يَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ
وَإِن كَانَتْ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِينَ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمَا
كَانَ اللّهُلِيُضِيعَ إِيَمَنَّكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ

142. The fools among the people (pagans,
hypocrites, and Jews) will say, "What has
turned them (Muslims) from their Qiblah
[prayer direction (towards Jerusalem)] to
which they used to face in prayer." Say, (O
Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) "To Allah belong
both, east and the west. He guides whom He
wills to the Straight Way."
143. Thus We have made you [true
Muslims
- real believers of Islamic
Monotheism, true followers of Prophet
Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his Sunnah
(legal ways)], a just (and the best) nation, that
you be witnesses over mankind 1 and the
Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) be a
witness over you. And We made the Qiblah
(prayer direction towards Jerusalem) which
you used to face, only to test those who
followed the Messenger (Muhammad
from those who would turn on their (اللّه عليه وسلم
heels (i.e. disobey the Messenger). Indeed it
was great (heavy) except for those whom
Allâh guided. And Allâh would never make
your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. your
prayers offered towards Jerusalem). Truly,
Allâh is full of Kindness, the Most Merciful
towards mankind.
144. Verily! We have seen the turning of
your (Muhammad's صلى الله عليه وسلم) face
towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you
to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please
you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-

, we said "Nuh (Noah) will be called on the Day of Resurrection and he will say,
`Labbaik and Sa'daik, (I respond to Your Call and I am obedient to Your Orders) O
my Lord! Allah will say, 'Did you convey Our Message of Islamic Monotheism?' Nûh
(Noah) will say, 'Yes'. His nation will then be asked, 'Did he convey Our Message
of Islamic Monotheism to you?'They will say, 'No warner came to us.' Then Allah
will say [to Nuh (Noah)], 'Who will bear witness in your favour?' He will say,
'Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his followers.' So they (i.e., Muslims) will testify
(صلى الله عليه وسلم that he conveyed the Message - and the Messenger (Muhammad
will be a witness over you, and that is what is meant by the Statement of Allâh , ;
J: We made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islamic Monotheism, true
followers of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his Sunnah (legal ways)] a just
(and the best) nation that you 'be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger
(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) will be a witness over you." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6,

Makkah).
And
wheresoever you people are, turn your faces
(in prayer) in that direction. Certainly, the
people who were given the Scripture (i.e.
Jews and the Christians) know well that, that
(your turning towards the direction of the
Ka'bah at Makkah in prayers) is the truth
from their Lord. And Allâh is not unaware
of what they do.
145. And even if you were to bring to the
people of the Scripture (Jews and
Christians) all the Ayât (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they
would not follow your Qiblah (prayer
direction), nor are you going to follow their
Qiblah (prayer direction). And they will not
follow each other's Qiblah (prayer
direction). Verily, if you follow their desires
after that which you have received of
knowledge (from Allâh), then indeed you
will be one of the Zâlimun (polytheists,
wrong-doers).
146. Those to whom We gave the
Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise
him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم or the
Ka'bah at Makkah) as they recongise their
sons. But verily, a party of them conceal the
truth while they know it - [i.e. the qualities
of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم which are
written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel
(Gospel)][1].
147. (This is) the truth from your Lord.
So be you not one of those who doubt.
148. For every nation there is a direction
to which they face (in their prayers). So
hasten towards all that is good. Wheresoever
you may be, Allâh will bring you together
(on the Day of Resurrection). Truly, Allâh is
Able to do all things.
149. And from wheresoever you start
forth (for prayers), turn your face in the

direction of Al-Masjid-Al-Harâm
(at
Makkah), that is indeed the truth from your
Lord. And Allâh is not unaware of what you
do.
150. And from wheresoever you start
forth (for prayers), turn your face in the
direction of Al-Masjid-Al-Harâm (at
Makkah), and wheresoever you are, turn your
faces towards it (when you pray) so that men
may have no argument against you except
those of them that are wrong-doers, so fear
them not, but fear Me! - And so that I may
complete My Blessings on you and that you
may be guided.
151. Similarly (to complete My Blessings
on you), We have sent among you a
Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of
your own, reciting to you Our Verses (the
Qur'ân) and purifying you, and teaching you
the Book (the Qur'an) and the Hikmah (i.e.
Sunnah, Islamic laws and Fiqh
jurisprudence), and teaching you that which
you used not to know.
152. Therefore remember Me (by praying,
glorifying)11, I will remember you, and be
grateful to Me (for My countless Favours on
you) and never be ungrateful to Me.
153. O you who believe! Seek help in
patience and As-Salât (the prayer). Truly!
Allâh is with As-Sâbirun (the patient).
154. And say not of those who are killed
in the Way of Allah, "They are dead." Nay,
they are living, but you perceive (it) not.

عز و said, "Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم The Prophet: رضى الله عنه b). Narrated Abu Hurairah
J> says, I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am Able to do for him what he
thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if he remembers Me. If he remembers
Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group
of people, I remember him in a group that is better than them; and if he comes one
span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer
to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to
Me walking, I go to him running." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.9, Hadîth No.502).

155. And certainly, We shall test you with
something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth,
lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-
Sâbirûn (the patient).
156. Who, when afflicted with calamity,
say: "Truly! To Allâh we belong and truly, to
Him we shall return."
157. They are those on whom are the
Salawât (i.e. who are blessed and will be
forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those
who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who
are the guided ones.
158. Verily! As-Safâ and Al-Marwah (two
mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of
Allâh. So it is not a sin on him who performs
Hajj or 'Umrah (pilgrimage) of the House
(the Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform the going
(Tawâf) between them (As-Safâ and Al-
Marwa)[11.
[1]
And whoever does good
voluntarily, then verily, Allâh is All-
Recogniser, All-Knower.
159. Verily, those who conceal the clear
proofs, evidences and the guidance, which
We have sent down, after We have made it
clear for the people in the Book, they are the
ones cursed by Allâh and cursed by the
cursers.
160. Except those who repent and do
righteous deeds, and openly declare (the truth
which they concealed). These, I will accept
their repentance. And I am the One Who
accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.
161. Verily, those who disbelieve, and die
while they are disbelievers, it is they on
whom is the Curse of Allah and of the angels
and of mankind, combined.
162. They will abide therein (under the
curse in Hell), their punishment will neither
be lightened, nor will they be reprieved.

163. And your Ilâh (God) is One Ilâh
(God - Allâh), Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (there is
none who has the right to be worshipped but
He), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
164. Verily! In the creation of the heavens
and the earth, and in the alternation of night
and day, and the ships which sail through the
sea with that which is of use to mankind, and
the water (rain) which Allâh sends down from
the sky and makes the earth alive therewith
after its death, and the moving (living)
creatures of all kinds that He has scattered
therein, and in the veering of winds and
clouds which are held between the sky and
the earth, are indeed Ayât (proofs, evidences,
signs, etc.) for people of understanding.
165. And of mankind are some who take
(for worship) others besides Allâh as rivals11
(to Allâh). They love them as they love Allâh.
But those who believe, love Allâh more (than
anything else). If only, those who do wrong
could see, when they will see the torment, that
all power belongs to Allâh and that Allâh is
Severe in punishment.
166. When those who were followed
disown (declare themselves innocent of) those
who followed (them), and they see the
torment, then all their relations will be cut off
from them.
167. And those who followed will say: "If
only we had one more chance to return (to the
worldly life), we would disown (declare
ourselves as innocent from) them as they have
disowned (declared themselves as innocent
from) us." Thus Allah will show them their
deeds as regrets for them. And they will never
get out of the Fire .

(V. 2:165) Narrated 'Abdullah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said one
statement and | said another. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Whoever dies while
still invoking anything other than Allah as a rival to Allah, will enter Hell (Fire)." And
I said, "Whoever dies without invoking anything as a rival to Allah, will enter
Paradise." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth NO.24).

168. O mankind! Eat of that which is
lawful and good on the earth, and follow not
the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Verily, he is
to you an open enemy.
169. He [Shaitân (Satan)] commands you
only what is evil and Fahshâ (sinful), and that
you should say against Allâh what you know
not.
170. When it is said to them: "Follow
what Allah has sent down." They say: "Nay!
We shall follow what we found our fathers
following." (Would they do that!) even
though their fathers did not understand
anything nor were they guided?
171. And the example of those who
disbelieve is as that of him who shouts to
those (flock of sheep) that hears nothing but
calls and cries. (They are) deaf, dumb and
blind. So they do not understand. (Tafsîr Al-
Qurtubi).
172. O you who believe (in the Oneness
of Allâh - Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the
lawful things that We have provided you11)
with, and be grateful to Allâh, if it is indeed
He Whom you worship.
173. He has forbidden you only the
Maitah (dead animals), and blood, and the
flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered
as a scrifice for others than Allâh (or has been
slaughtered for idols, on which Allâh's Name
has not been mentioned while slaughtering).
But if one is forced by necessity without
wilful disobedience nor transgressing due

(V . 2 :172) Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir رضى اللّه عنه :I heard Allah's Messenger
saying, "Both legal and illegal things are evident but in between صلى الله عليه وسلم
them there are doubtful (unclear) things, and most of the people have no
knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself from these unclear things, he
saves his religion and his honour. And whoever indulges in these unlcear things is
like a shepherd who grazes (his animals) near the Hima (private pasture) of
someone else, and at any moment he is liable to get in it. (O people!) Beware!
Every king has a Hima and the Hima of Allah Ja , ;e on the earth is His illegal
(forbidden) things. Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good
(reformed), the whole body becomes good, but if it gets spoilt, the whole body gets
spoilt and that is the heart." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Hadîth No.49).

limits, then there is no sin on him. Truly,
Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
174. Verily, those who conceal what Allâh
has sent down of the Book, and purchase a
small gain therewith (of worldly things), they
eat into their bellies nothing but fire. Allâh
will not speak to them on the Day of
Resurrection, nor purify them, and theirs will
be a painful torment.
175. Those are they who have purchased
error at the price of Guidance, and torment at
the price of Forgiveness. So how bold they
are (for evil deeds which will push them) to
the Fire.
176. That is because Allâh has sent down
the Book (the Qur'an) in truth. And verily,
those who disputed as regards the Book are
far away in opposition.
177. It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness,
and each and every act of obedience to Allâh,
etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and
(or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the
quality of) the one who believes in Allâh, the
Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the
Prophets(1) and gives his wealth, in spite of
love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and
to Al-Masâkîn (the poor), and to the wayfarer,
and to those who ask, and to set slaves free,
performs As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and
gives the Zakât, and who fulfil their covenant
when they make it, and who are patient in
extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at
the time of fighting (during the battles). Such
are the people of the truth and they are
Al-Muttaqûn ( the pious - See V.2:2).
178. O you who believe! Al-Qisâs (the
Law of Equality in punishment) is prescribed
for you in case of murder: the free for the
free, the slave for the slave, and the female
for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by
the brother (or the relatives, etc.) of the killed

number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a

whoever of you sights (the crescent on the

present at his home), he must observe Saum
(fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a
journey, the same number [of days which one
did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made
up] from other days. Allâh intends for you
ease, and He does not want to make things
difficult for you. (He wants that you) must
complete the same number (of days), and that
you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbîr

(A) Narrated Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah: A bedouin with unkempt hair came to Allah's
Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "O Allah's Messenger! Inform me what Allah
has made compulsory for me as regards the Salat (prayers)." He replied: "You
have to offer perfectly the five compulsory Salât (prayers) in a day and night (24
hours), unless you want to pray Nawafil." The bedouin further asked, "Inform me
what Allah has made compulsory for me as regards Saum (fasting)." He replied,
"You have to fast during the whole month of Ramadan, unless you want to fast
more as Nawafil." The bedouin further asked, "Tell me how much Zakat Allâh has
صلى الله عليه وسلم enjoined on me." The narrator added: Then, Allah's Messenger
informed him all about the Laws (i.e. fundamentals) of Islam. The bedouin then
said, "By Him Who has honoured you, I will neither perform any Nawafil nor will I
decrease what Allah has enjoined on me." Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
"If he is saying the truth, he will succeed (or he will be granted Paradise)." (Sahih
Al-Bukhari, Hadîth No. 115, Vol. 3).
(B) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "As-
Siyam (the fasting) is Junnah (protection or shield or a screen or a shelter from the
Hell-fire*). So, the person observing Saum (fasting) should avoid sexual relation
with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody
fights with him or abuses him, he should say to him twice, 'I am fasting.' " The
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell
coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better with Allah Jus than the
smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting person), 'He has left his food, drink
and desires for My sake. The Saum (fast) is for Me. "So I will reward (the fasting
person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times.' " (Sahih Al-
Bukhari, Hadîth No. 118, Vol. 3).

invocations of the supplicant when he calls

Me (without any mediator or
intercessor). So let them obey Me and

187. It is made lawful for you to have
sexual relations with your wives on the night
of As-Saum (the fasts). They are Libâs [i.e.
body cover, or screen, or Sakan, (i.e. you
enjoy the pleasure of living with them - as in
Verse 7:189) Tafsir At-Tabarî], for you and
you are the same for them. Allah knows that
you used to deceive yourselves, so He
turned to you (accepted your repentance)
and forgave you. So now have sexual
relations with them and seek that which
Allâh has ordained for you (offspring), and
eat and drink until the white thread (light) of
dawn appears to you distinct from the black
thread (darkness of night), then complete
your Saum (fast) till the nightfall. And do

** Although all practices of worshipping are for Allah, here Allah Jus singles out
Saum (fasting), because fasting cannot be practiced for the sake of showing-off, as
nobody except Allâh can know whether one is fasting or not. Therefore, fasting is a
pure performance that cannot be blemished with hypocrisy. (Fath Al-Barî, Vol. 5,
Page 10)
(C) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Whoever
does not give up lying speech - false statements (i.e. telling lies) and acting on
those (lies), and evil actions etc., then Allah is not in need of his leaving his food
and drink (i.e. Allah will not accept his fasting")". (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadîth No.

صلى الله عليه وسلم Allah's Messenger: رضى الله عنه V. 2:186) Narrated Abu Hurairah)
said, "Allah said, 'I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious
worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My slave comes
nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming
closer to Me through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides
what is obligatory) till I love him. Then I become his sense of hearing with which he
hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips,
and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks
My Protection (Refuge), I will protect him; (i.e. give him My Refuge), and I do not
hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates
death, and I hate to disappoint him."" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.8, Hadîth No. 509).

not have sexual relations with them (your
wives) while you are in I'tikâf (i.e. confining
oneself in a mosque for prayers and
invocations leaving the worldly activities) in
the mosques. These are the limits (set) by
Allâh, so approach them not. Thus does
Allâh make clear His Ayat (proofs,
evidences, lessons, signs, revelations,
verses, laws, legal and illegal things, Allâh's

(V. 2:190) Al-Jihad (holy fighting) in Allah's Cause (with full force of numbers
and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars (on
which it stands). By Jihad Islam is established, Allah's Word is made superior, (His
Word being La ilaha illallah which means none has the right to be worshipped but
Allâh), and His Religion (Islam) is propagated. By abandoning Jihad (may Allâh
protect us from that) Islam is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior
position; their honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish.
Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape
from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this duty, dies with
one of the qualities of a hypocrite.

"O Allah's Messenger! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the Salat
(prayers) at their early fixed stated times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He
replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, "What is next in
goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause." I did not ask

صلى الله عليه وسلم The Prophet: رضى الله عنه V. 2:191) Narrated Abu-Bakrah)
delievered to us a Khutbah (religious talk) on the day of Nahr (10th of Dhul Hijjah)
He said, "Do you know what is the day today?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger
know better." He remained silent till we thought that he might give that day another
name. He said, "Isn't it the day of Nahr?" We said, "It is." He further asked, "Which
month is this?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He remained
silent till we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it the
month of Dhul-Hijjah?" We replied: "Yes, it is." He furthrer asked, "What town is
this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know it better." He remained silent till
we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it the forbidden
(sacred) town (of Makkah)?" We said, "Yes, it is." He said, "No doubt, your blood
and your properties are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours,
in this month of yours, in this town of yours, till the day you meet your Lord. No
doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you? We said, "Yes." He said, "O
Allah! Be witness. So it is in incumbent upon those who are present to convey it
(this information) to those who are absent because the informed one might
comprehend it (what I have said) better than the present audience, who will convey
it to him. Beware! Do not renegate (as) disbelievers after me by striking the necks
(cutting the throats) of one another." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.2, Hadîth No.797).

صلى الله عليه وسلم Allah's Messenger: رضى الله عنهما A) (V. 2:193) Narrated Ibn 'Umar)
said, "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people till they testify that
Lâ ilâha illallah wa Anna Muhammmad-ur-Rasûl Allâh (none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah عز وجل and that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is the Messenger
of Allâh), and perform As-Salât (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, so if they
perform all that, then they save their lives, and properties from me except for
Islamic laws, and their reckoning (accounts) will be with (done by) Allâh." (Sahih

i.e. a sheep, a cow, or a camel) such as you
can afford, and do not shave your heads until
the Hady reaches the place of sacrifice. And
whosoever of you is ill or has an ailment in
his scalp (necessitating shaving), he must pay

offering sacrifice (one sheep). Then if you are
in safety and whosoever performs the 'Umrah
in the months of Hajj, before (performing) the
Hajj, (i.e. Hajj-at-Tamattu' and Al-Qirân), he
must slaughter a Hady such as he can afford,

Saum (fasts) three days during the Hajj and

well-known (lunar year) months (i.e. the 10th
month, the 11th month and the first ten days
of the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, i.e.
two months and ten days). So whosoever
intends to perform Hajj[2]
therein (by
assuming Ihrâm), then he should not have
sexual relations (with his wife), nor
commit sin, nor dispute unjustly during the
Hajj. And whatever good you do, (be sure)
Allâh knows it. And take a provision (with
you) for the journey, but the best provision
is At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness). So fear
Me, O men of understanding!

(V. 2:196) Islam demolishes all the previous evil deeds and so does migration

Ch.52, P.205]. The obligation of performing 'Umrah and its superiority. Ibn 'Umar
Luis wIga, said, "Hajj and 'Umrah are obligatory for everybody." And Ibn 'Abbas
Lie wIga, said, 'Umrah is mentioned in conjunction with Hajj in the Book of Allah
Je , je: "And perform properly Hajj and 'Umrah for Allâh." (2:196).
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه:Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "(The
performance of) 'Umrah is an expiation for the sins committed (between it and the
previous one). And the reward of Hajj Mabrûr (the one accepted by Allâh) is
nothing except Paradise." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.3, Hadîth No.1).

(V. 2:197) What is said regarding Hajj At-Tamattu', Hajj Al-Qiran, and Hajj Al-
Ifrad. And whoever has not brought a Hady with him, he should finish the Ihram of
Hajj, and make it as 'Umrah, (and then assume another Ihram for Hajj from
Makkah, etc.) There are three ways of performing Hajj - as follows:
a) Hajj At-Tamattu': It means that you have no Hady with you and you assume
Ihrâm only for 'Umrah first and after 'Umrah you finish your Ihram and assume
another Ihram for performing Hajj, from Makkah, but you have to slaughter a Hady.
b) Hajj Al-Qiran: It means that one should have a Hady with him and should
perform 'Umrah and then Hajj with the same state of Ihram.
c) Hajj Al-Ifrad: It means that one assumes Ihrâm with the intention of performing
Hajj only and does not perform 'Umrah.

(V. 2:198) 'Arafat: a well known place near Makkah where pilgrims have to
spend the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah.

(V. 2:198) Al-Mash'ar Al-Haram, i.e. Muzdalifah a well-known place near
Makkah, where pilgrims have to stop and stay for the whole night of the 10th of
Dhul-Hijjah, or a great part of it.

worst indeed is that place to rest!

without such (trials) as came to those who
passed
away before you? They were
afflicted with severe poverty and ailments
and were so shaken that even the Messenger
and those who believed along with him said,
"When (will come) the Help of Allah?" Yes!
Certainly, the Help of Allah is near!
215. They ask you (O Muhammad
:what they should spend. Say (اللّه عليه وسلم
Whatever you spend of good must be for
parents and kindred and orphans and
Al-Masakîn (the poor) and the wayfarer,
and whatever you do of good deeds, truly,
Allâh knows it well.

سورة البقرة ٢
الجزء ٢
Surah 2. Al-Baqarah
Part 2
46
كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ وَهُوَكُزْهُ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىّ
أَنْ تَكْرَ هُواشَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَىّ
أَنْ تُحِبُّواْ شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرِّلَّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ
وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
يَسْئَلُونَكَ عَنِ الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ فِتَالٍ فِيهِ قُلْ
قِتَالٌ فِيهِ كَبِيرٌ وَصَدُّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
وَكُفْرَابِهِ، وَالْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَإِخْرَاجُ أَهْلِهِ،
مِنْهُ أَكْبُ عِندَ اللّهِ وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ
وَلَ يَزَالُونَ يُقَائِلُونَكُمْ حَى يَرُدُوكُمْ عَن ◌ِدِينِكُمْ
إِنِ أُسْتَطَعُواْ وَمَنْ يَرْتَدِدْ مِنكُمْعَنِدِينِهِ،
فَيَمُتْ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ فَأُوْلَئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَلُهُمْ
فِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآَخِرَةِ وَأُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَبُ النَّارِّ
٢١٧
هُمْ فِيهَا خَلِّدُونَ
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَاُلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ وَجَهَدُواْ
فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أُوْلَبِكَ يَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ
وَاَللّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (@)
يَسْتَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِِّ
قُلْ فِيهِمَآ إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ وَ مَنَفِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمُهُمَا
216. Jihad1 (holy fighting in Allâh's
cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though
you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike
a thing which is good for you and that you
like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh
knows but you do not know.
217. They ask you concerning fighting in
the Sacred Months (i.e. 1st, 7th, 11th and
12th months of the Islamic calendar). Say,
"Fighting therein is a great (transgression) 21
but a greater (transgression) with Allâh is to
prevent mankind from following the Way of
Allâh, to disbelieve in Him, to prevent
access to Al-Masjid-Al-Harâm (at Makkah),
and to drive out its inhabitants, and Al-
Fitnah13) is worse than killing. And they will
never cease fighting you until they turn you
back
from your
religion (Islamic
Monotheism) if they can. And whosoever of
you turns back from his religion and dies as
a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in
this life and in the Hereafter, and they will
be the dwellers of the Fire. They will abide
therein forever."
218. Verily, those who have believed,
and those who have emigrated (for Allâh's
Religion) and have striven hard in the Way
of Allâh, all these hope for Allah's Mercy.
And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
219. They ask you (O Muhammad
concerning alcoholic drink and (اللّه عليه وسلم
gambling'41. Say: "In them is a great sin, and

(V.2:217) Fitnah: polytheism and to disbelieve after one has believed in Allâh, or
a trial or a calamity or an affliction or to set up rivals in worship with Allâh, etc.
[4] (V. 2:219):
a) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه:Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
"Whoever takes an oath in which he (forgetfully), mentions Lat and 'Uzza (i.e. two
idols of Arab pagans) should say: "La ilaha illallah" (none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah), and whoever says to his companion, 'Come along, let us
gamble,' must give alms (as an expiation)." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth
No.383).
