58 Al Mujadila (The Pleading Woman)

Madani – 22 Ayaat – Marriage Laws

  1. The lady (Khawlah bint tha’alabah) who was arguing
  2. Aisha RA said that when the woman was complaining Aisha RA was in nearby but she couldn’t clearly hear what the lady was complaining but Allah had heard her complaint and replied to it
  3. She was complaining about a pre Islamic custom in which a man became angry he would after a phrase called “Thihar” which would make her a nor a wife neither she is allowed to leave.( The saying by a husband to his wife, “You are to me like the back of my mother,” meaning unlawful to approach. This was a type of divorce practiced by the Arabs before the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ)
  4. Prophet ﷺ didn’t have a ruling on this case, and as the pleadings proceeded Allah revealed this sura
  5. Allah tells that is an evil practice. It’s unislamic and there was a hefty penalty on this person (free slave, if not two months fast if not feed 60 people)

Hypocrites having Secret Meetings

  1. Najwa- secret meeting by quraish to destroy Islam
  2. These secret meetings are from Shaytaan
  3. Lots of reference to Allah’s knowledge
  4. Allah is aware of how you act especially for husbands that Allah sees how they treat their wives
  5. It is not possible for people who believe in Allah to be loyal to people who are enemies of Allah and his messenger. This does not mean that you cannot be friends with non-Muslims. Enemies are those who actively work against Islam

59 Al Hashr (The Exile)

Madani – 24 Ayaat –

  1. Deals with expulsion of Jewish tribe Bani An-Nadir, after the battle of Uhud because they betrayed the treaty with the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. There was an assassination attempt on the Prophet ﷺ

Clear Praise of Muhajiroon then Ansar

  1. Aya 8 For the poor emigrants who were expelled from their homes and their properties, seeking bounty from Allah and (His) approval and supporting Allah and His Messenger, (there is also a share).Those are the truthful.
  2. Aya 9 And (also for) those who were settled in the Home (i.e., al-Madinah) and (adopted) the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what they (i.e., the emigrants) were given but give (them) preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul – it is those who will be the successful.

Dua for Forgiveness – Those that come after (Muhajir & Ansar)

  1. Aya 10. And (there is a share for) those who came after them, saying, “Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts (any) resentment (Ghil) toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.”
  2. We are commanded to love the Sahaba (and we make dua for them as well). One who does not love Sahaba is not living up to this Aya
  3. Ends with beautiful names of Allah. Over 15 names and attributes of Allah Aya 21-24
  4. If the tough mountains would crumble we should be affected more. Aya 21

60 Al Mumtahanah (She that is to be examined)

Madani – 13 Ayaat

  1. After the treaty of hudaybiyyah Immigrant Muslim women may not be returned to the disbelievers.
  2. One law was any person who migrated from Makkah to madinah should return to makkah. But language was written that if any man migrated he should be returned. Allah clarified this by allowing women to remain in Madina if they migrated (if they were sincere)

If Sincere Women Migrate – No Return

  1. Aya10 O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine (i.e., test) them. Allah is most knowing as to their faith. And if you know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful (wives) for them, nor are they lawful (husbands) for them. But give them (i.e., the disbelievers) what they have spent. And there is no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their due compensation (i.e., mahr). And hold not to marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent and let them (i.e., the disbelievers) ask for what they have spent. That is the judgment of Allah; He judges between you. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.

Relationship Muslims / Non Muslims.

  1. Friendship vs Loyalty with non Muslims. Aya 1 and 8 and 9 will clarify a little bit.
  2. Summary – Three Catagories of Non Muslims
    1. Enemies of Islam – We cannot befriend
    2. Those who Fight or Expel Muslims due to their religion – do not befriend
    3. Who don’t Fight/Expel you for Islam – Act with kindness and with justice
  3. Aya 1 O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, having driven out the Prophet and yourselves (only) because you believe in Allah, your Lord. If you have come out for jihad (i.e., fighting or striving) in My cause and seeking means to My approval, (take them not as friends). You confide to them affection (i.e., instruction), but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and what you have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way.
  4. Aya 8 Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes – from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
  5. Aya 9 Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion – (forbids) that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers
  6. Allah does not tell us to treat non-Muslims with harshness. With enemies use common sense and don’t make them allies.

Negative and Positive Female Role Models

  1. Wives of Lut and Nuh
    1. Aya 10 Allāh presents an example of those who disbelieved: the wife of Nuh and wife of Lut. They were under two of our righteous servants but betrayed them, so those prophets did not avail them from Allāh at all, and it was said “Enter the fire with those who enter”.
