The Covered Topic is Introduction to Surat
Al-Alaq
Text:
·
Starts with the first Ayah that was
ever revealed to the Prophet SAW
·
Read: Means lots of things;
Story behind the Surah
·
Clip 1 of the story: A man
was born in a bad corrupted culture. People in this culture used to treat
pictures and statues the way they treat Allah. They begged the pictures and
statues for food, rain, health, wealth, children, protection, …etc the way they
should beg Allah for things. All this didn’t make sense to this man because it
doesn’t take a genius to figure out that they dead objects are not only
helpless, but also can’t hear or feel anything.
·
The people in this corrupted culture
used to burry their baby daughters alive because they can’t fight and if they
lose a war, their daughters are taken as girl slaves, which was a big shame.
·
The man who had a mindful pure heart
rejected all this non sense and he started looking for the truth.

Below
please find the quiz. We started Surat Al-Inshrah. It is about the open heart
surgery that the angels did to Prophet Mohamed to remove the dark side in his
heart so that he will have only the good side. Allah asked the Prophet to do a
very difficult job, which is to build a righteous super power himself in 23
years. This is super power will then reform the entire earth. It wouldn’t be
fair to the Prophet to fight two battles; one inside with the dark side in his
heart and the other is outside with all these wicked people who have conflict
of interest with Islam. The outside challenges were already overwhelming and
too much.
Allah
in the Surah is first reminding the Prophet about this favor that he did to
him, which is called Sharh Al-Sadr.

Surat
Al-Tim
Allah is swearing by four things for the following reasons
1. Get the attention of the listeners
2. Confirm statements or facts
3. Imply something special about the things he is swearing with
Allah is swearing by the following four things
1. The figs
2. The olives
3. The mountain of Sinai
4. The safe city of
The special wonders about the objects that Allah swear with are;
1. The figs and olives: Unknown secrets. In sha’a Allah will be uncovered when
Allah wills
2. The
3. The safe city of
Statements or facts being confirmed are;
1. We (Allah; this is the royal we) created the human in the best form, which
is the form of innocent babies (nature)
2. Then we let him decline to the lowest of the low by allowing him to learn
from the surroundings (nurture)
3. Exceptions to 1 and 2 are the believers who do good deeds
4. The reward of the believers who do good deeds is endless
Allah concluded the Surah with the following reminder;
Based on the fact that he stated earlier, that he is able to create free human
beings who are free to decline to the lowest of the low and free to believe and
do good deeds, it doesn’t make any sense that the human denies the Day of
Judgment because without the Day of Judgment, this freedom of choice to decline
or to believe will be very unwise to allow because it will be very unfair for
the believers who did good deeds not to get the endless reward. Since you know
that Allah is the most wise, then you shouldn’t think that he will allow such freedom
without a final day for reward and punishment.
Surat Al-Takathur
It is a sever warning from the Allah threatening the ones who are too busy in
the business of increasing material things.
Allah is threatening them that they will see horrors when they go under ground.
Then Allah is threatening them that they will see the hell fire by their own
eyes as they see things now.
The solution to get out of this threat is to divide the time fairly between the
business of Allah and the business of increasing. If we do this, then the
business of increasing counts as a good righteous deed because of the kindness
of Allah.
The business of increasing involves endless greed. I want more and more, and
nothing is ever enough.
