Ramadan Learning, Part-3

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.  


#Ramadan_Learning_3


Alhamdulillah, we have finished Surah Aal-i-Imran & continue till Ayah 87 of Surah An-Nisa.

In the very first ayah of An-Nisa, Allah said that He created us from a man. And his counterpart created from him. Present Male and female, all are from these two men. Allah swt said:



يٰٓأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وٰحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَآءً ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِى تَسَآءَلُونَ بِهِۦ وَالْأَرْحَامَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا

O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer. (4:1)

Allah swt give us clear instruction regarding property distribution. We came to know that for male what is equal to share of two female. To get a clear idea, I wanna quote the whole ayah:

 يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِىٓ أَوْلٰدِكُمْ ۖ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ ۚ فَإِن كُنَّ نِسَآءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَ ۖ وَإِن كَانَتْ وٰحِدَةً فَلَهَا النِّصْفُ ۚ وَلِأَبَوَيْهِ لِكُلِّ وٰحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ إِن كَانَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَإِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلَدٌ وَوَرِثَهُۥٓ أَبَوَاهُ فَلِأُمِّهِ الثُّلُثُ ۚ فَإِن كَانَ لَهُۥٓ إِخْوَةٌ فَلِأُمِّهِ السُّدُسُ ۚ مِنۢ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصِى بِهَآ أَوْ دَيْنٍ ۗ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ لَكُمْ نَفْعًا ۚ فَرِيضَةً مِّنَ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا 

Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one's estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And for one's parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left children. But if he had no children and the parents [alone] inherit from him, then for his mother is one third. And if he had brothers [or sisters], for his mother is a sixth, after any bequest he [may have] made or debt. Your parents or your children - you know not which of them are nearest to you in benefit. [These shares are] an obligation [imposed] by Allah. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (4:11)

We also came to know that where we can't make relationship and with whom we can't. You can get an idea from ayah no: 22-24 regarding prohibition. To know the category of people, I wanna give this below. Please remember this. Allah swt said:


حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّهٰتُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَأَخَوٰتُكُمْ وَعَمّٰتُكُمْ وَخٰلٰتُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُ الْأَخِ وَبَنَاتُ الْأُخْتِ وَأُمَّهٰتُكُمُ الّٰتِىٓ أَرْضَعْنَكُمْ وَأَخَوٰتُكُم مِّنَ الرَّضٰعَةِ وَأُمَّهٰتُ نِسَآئِكُمْ وَرَبٰٓئِبُكُمُ الّٰتِى فِى حُجُورِكُم مِّن نِّسَآئِكُمُ الّٰتِى دَخَلْتُم بِهِنَّ فَإِن لَّمْ تَكُونُوا دَخَلْتُم بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَحَلٰٓئِلُ أَبْنَآئِكُمُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ أَصْلٰبِكُمْ وَأَن تَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الْأُخْتَيْنِ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
 Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful. (4:23)

Allah wants us to make clear and ask forgiveness for repentance to Him.


يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ وَيَهْدِيَكُمْ سُنَنَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَيَتُوبَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ 

Allah wants to make clear to you [the lawful from the unlawful] and guide you to the [good] practices of those before you and to accept your repentance. And Allah is Knowing and Wise. (4:26)


In Ayat 29-30, Allah swt forbid us to consume another's wealth and kill another Muslim. Those kill his muslim brother, Allah will drive him to Jahannam.

Allah wants to lessen our loads, our difficulties because we was created weak. Allah says:


        يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ أَن يُخَفِّفَ عَنكُمْ ۚ وَخُلِقَ الْإِنسٰنُ ضَعِيفًا

 And Allah wants to lighten for you [your difficulties]; and mankind was created weak. (4:28)

Two beautiful Ayah have touched me, I wanna share these below:

#1

مَّن يَشْفَعْ شَفٰعَةً حَسَنَةً يَكُن لَّهُۥ نَصِيبٌ مِّنْهَا ۖ وَمَن يَشْفَعْ شَفٰعَةً سَيِّئَةً يَكُن لَّهُۥ كِفْلٌ مِّنْهَا ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مُّقِيتًا

Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a reward therefrom; and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a burden therefrom. And ever is Allah, over all things, a Keeper. (4:85)

#2

وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَآ أَوْ رُدُّوهَآ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَسِيبًا

And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet [in return] with one better than it or [at least] return it [in a like manner]. Indeed, Allah is ever, over all things, an Accountant. (4:86)

How beautiful it is! Indeed, these are words of Allah swt.
From very last of Surah Aal-i-Imran, you will find some beautiful du'a. You may add these in To-Do list for this Ramadan.

‪#Dua_1

رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ مَن تُدْخِلِ النَّارَ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُۥ ۖ وَمَا لِلظّٰلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ 

Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire - You have disgraced him, and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers. (3:192) 

#Dua_2

رَّبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِى لِلْإِيمٰنِ أَنْ ءَامِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَـَٔامَنَّا ۚ رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّـَٔاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الْأَبْرَارِ 

Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith, [saying], 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die with the righteous. (3:193) 

‪#Dua_3

رَبَّنَا وَءَاتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلٰى رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۗ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ 

Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise." (3:194)


Allah Subhanu Wa ta'ala advice us to keep perseverance and fear Him. Then we will become successful.

 يٰٓأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا اصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ 

O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful. (3:200)


May Allah swt. give us ability to keep patience and do understand & think deeply the messages of Al-Qur'an in this holy month of Ramadan. Ameen.
