Surahs:
Surah 1: Ayat-al-Kursi ( 2:255) (Theme)
Describe the main theme of Ayat-al-Kursi and explain their importance in a Muslims life.
a) This passage, Ayat-ul-Kursi, is also known as the verse of the Throne. It refers to the main theme of Tawhid. Tawhid is the belief in one God and is the first article of faith. Allahs matchless qualities are mentioned in this passage. Allahs Throne represents his Full Authority. This passage tells us about the omnipotence and Authority of God over the heavens and the earth. Simply it can be said that none can posses his qualities. As it is said in the Quran: " Nothing is like unto him, for he is the all-hearer, all-seer. This means that Allah is independent and makes decisions regarding his creations himself.
Surah 2:
Surah-Al-Anaam ( 6:101-103 )(Theme)
وَهُوَ يُدۡرِكُ الۡاَبۡصَارَۚ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيۡفُ الۡخَبِيۡرُ
Describe the main theme of Surah Al-Anaam and explain their importance in a Muslims life.
Surah 3:
Surah Fussilat (41:37)
وَمِنۡ اٰيٰتِهِ الَّيۡلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَالشَّمۡسُ وَالۡقَمَرُؕ لَا تَسۡجُدُوۡا لِلشَّمۡسِ وَلَا لِلۡقَمَرِ وَاسۡجُدُوۡا لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَهُنَّ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ اِيَّاهُ تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ ﴿۳۷﴾Describe the main theme of Surah Fussilat and explain their importance in a Muslims life.
a) Tawhid is mentioned in this passage of Surah Fussilat. The theme is described by referring to the authority and Omnipotence of Allah over the cycles of day and night. This phenomenon can lead us to ponder over the qualities of Allah. Another teaching is that we must worship him alone. This is because he is the sole creator thus he deserves our worship. We should acknowledge his perfection as said at another place: "Nothing is like unto him, for he is the all hearer, all seer". This verse highlights the fact that noone else can attain Allah's quality of perfection.b) The foremost demand from God from us is to worship him alone. Tawhid, oneness of Allah is not only a conceptual belief but is also essential for a survival of a Muslims. Like the Sun and the Moon obey Allah by moving in prescribed circles, Muslims must obey Allah in the same way he wants them to be obeyed. Muslims learn that it is not the Shining of the sun or the shimmering of the moon that is responsible for the cycles of Day and night but it is Allah who adminsters all such affairs. Thus, this passage helps strengthen the faith in Allah.
Surah 4:
Surah Al-Shura ( 42 4-5 )
لَهٗ مَا فِىۡ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِؕ وَهُوَ الۡعَلِىُّ الۡعَظِيۡمُتَـكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرۡنَ مِنۡ فَوۡقِهِنَّ وَالۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ يُسَبِّحُوۡنَ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَيَسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡنَ لِمَنۡ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الۡغَفُوۡرُ الرَّحِيۡمُ Describe the main theme of Surah Al-Shura and explain their importance in a Muslims life.
a) These verses from Surah Al-Shura refer to the theme of Tawhid. Allah's greatness can easily be perceived by observing the entire Universe that has been owned by him alone, the only creator. The Angels are always concerned regarding those who commit severe sins. They always think good of the dwellers of the Earth. They also come down in the month of Ramadan alone with Hazrat Jibrael to establish peace. Their act of seeking forgiveness tells us that only Allah should be implored for help. Allah is the only one who provides refuge as said in the Quran: " None can change his words and none will you find refuge other than Him". This verse refers to the fact that Allah should be called upon for refuge and implored for help.b) This passage focuses on Tawhid with respect to Allah power to punish or Allah's mercy to forgive mankind. Muslims should not associate partners with Allah as this would invite his anger. In their daily lives, they try to give rights of Allah and rights of Mankind. Muslims should show humbleness like Angels who despite having magnificent power bow down to Allahs Mercy. Muslims should not be picky in difficulties, rather, they should always implore Allah for help who will solve all their problems.
Surah 5:
Surah Ikhlas
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌۚ اللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُۚ
لَمۡ يَلِدۡ
ۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡۙ
وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
Describe the main theme of Surah Ikhlas and explain their importance in a Muslims life.
Surah 6:
Surah Al-Fatiha
اَلۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَۙالرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِۙ
مٰلِكِ يَوۡمِ الدِّيۡنِؕ

ۙ غَيۡرِ الۡمَغۡضُوۡبِ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا الضَّآلِّيۡ
Describe the main theme of Surah Al-Fatiha and explain their importance in a Muslims life.
Surah 7
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:21-22)
يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اعۡبُدُوۡا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَالَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُوۡنَالَّذِىۡ جَعَلَ لَـكُمُ الۡاَرۡضَ فِرَاشًا وَّالسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً
وَّاَنۡزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَخۡرَجَ بِهٖ مِنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ رِزۡقًا لَّـكُمۡۚ فَلَا تَجۡعَلُوۡا لِلّٰهِ اَنۡدَادًا وَّاَنۡتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ
Describe the main theme of Surah Al-Baqarah and explain their importance in a Muslims life.
a) This passage of Surah Al-Baqarah describes the relationship of God with the created world. This passage teaches Muslims to have a firm belief in Allah that Allah is the creator of everything. This creativity is for the benefit of the mankind. Muslims should be grate for the blessing of God like the fertile land, water and shelter of the sky. Another teaching is that Muslims should not associate partners with Allah as it is an unpardonable sin. As it is said " Verily, Whosoever sets up partners with Allah, then Allah forbidden Paradise for him and the fire will be his abode. Thus, Muslims avoid this sin.b) Allahs relation of Mercy with mankind is referred as an evidence of his Love. Blessings of rain and crops are so significant that we cannot live without them. So, it is our duty to acknowledge Gods bounties and we should not destroy the nature as it it made for our ( mankinds ) own benefit. Those who are unthankful and associate partners with Allah are not forgiven. As Allah says " Allah does not forgive that Partners should be set up with him". This passage encourages to be grateful to Allah.
Surah 9:
Surah Al-Alaq
اقۡرَاۡ بِاسۡمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَۚ خَلَقَ الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍۚ
اقۡرَاۡ وَرَبُّكَ الۡاَكۡرَمُۙ
الَّذِىۡ عَلَّمَ بِالۡقَلَمِۙ
عَلَّمَ الۡاِنۡسَانَ مَا لَمۡ
a) The verses of Surah-e-Al-Alaq were the first revelations to the Holy Prophet which were revealed at the Cave Hira. These verses show the major theme of the relation of Allah with the created world. The teaching we get is that Allah not only creates mankind through complicated stages but also enables them to get knowledge. This knowledge has a direct relationship with writing which should be regarded as God’s favour upon mankind. Another teaching is that the knowledge which man has is given by Allah. This evidence can be found in the Holy Quran: “And He taught Adam the names of all things.” (2: 31). We come to know that the knowledge is granted to us by Allah and is not a self-acquainted quality.
b) The importance of the themes of the passage in daily lives of Muslim is that here Allah’s relationship with the created world is described. Muslims can get God’s blessings by taking His name before they start to accomplish a task. It strengthens their Faith when they understand that He is only creator. 14 Habib-ur-Rehman We see that in our daily lives those who are ignorant they cannot play a vital role in the society. The link of pen and knowledge can never be broken. The path of knowledge accompanies reading and writing. Knowledge helps to distinguish between right and wrong. Those who remain ignorant can never understand the status of God.
Surah Zilzaal
b) Surah Al- Naas is very much important in the lives of Muslims as it is a kind of prayer which describes the relationship of Allah with mankind. Here God’s attributes, Lord and King, are mentioned. Satan keeps on whispering into the hearts of mankind until they are deviated from the right path. Muslims have sure that God alone can give them refuge and protection. The surah develops vigilance among Muslims as they become careful in their daily lives to keep them apart from the evils, be they are spiritual or physical. They also develop contentment in God who is always there to protect them. Thu the surah is a symbol of peace and harmony in daily lives of Muslims.
Surah Al -Baqarah (2:30-37)
a) The main themes of these verses are the creation of Adam and his superiority over Angels and about the nature of Satan. Adam’s superioritywas due to knowledge. These verses tell us that Allah gives knowledge to the one of His own choice. The passage teaches us that Adam was a true and an obedient servant of Allah while Satan (Iblis) disobeyed and argued with God so he was cursed. He later lured Adam and Eve to transgress the limits set by Allah. Adam was warned of the challenges and difficulties ahead of the worldly life.Another teaching we get is that if a person accepts his mistake after committing any wrong he can be forgiven by God. Quran tells about theprayer of Adam : “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves and if you do not forgive us and have mercy upon us we will surely be among losers.”The verse shows the humbleness and repentance of Adam and his wife.
b) This passage is very important in the lives of Muslims as it is related with the belief in the Prophets which is an article of Faith. Muslims learn to resist Satan and his evils in their daily lives as he has been trying to trap mankind since the creation of Hazrat Adam, the first man of the world. Muslims understand through the themes in this passage that it is quite possible they err but there is more possibility that they are forgiven. However, in their daily lives if they do anything wrong they must turn to him immediately for forgiveness. Simply this passage instills the strength into the hearts of the Muslims that they are protected under God but they have to turn to him for salvation and peace in their lives.
Surah Al-Anaam (6:75-79)
75. So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, so that he might have certainty. 76. When the night covered him over, he saw a star: He said: ‘This is my Lord.’ But when it set, he said: ‘I do not love things that set.’ 77. When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: ‘This is my Lord.’ But when the moon set, he said: ‘Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among those who go astray.’ 78. When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: ‘This is my Lord; this is the greatest.’ But when the sun set, he said: ‘O my people! I am indeed free from your giving partners to Allah.’ 79. ‘For me, I have set my face firmly and truly towards Him who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah.’
a) The theme of this passage is of Allah’s favour upon Hazrat Ibrahim who disputed with his nation over their wrong beliefs about the heavenly bodies. He was convinced that no matter how much shining a component of the Universe is, how much bigger it is or how much high above the sky it is, the fact remains there that it is a creature and not the creator. We also get the teaching that Ibrahim was truly a humble and obedient servant of God. The Quran reiterates the same thing at another place: “… follow the religion of Ibrahim and he was not of Al-Mushrikun(polytheists)". This means that Hazrat Ibrahim was not polytheist so we should follow his belief.
b) This Passage contains a significant message that should be applied in Muslims’ lives. Here Allah’s relationship with Hazrat Ibrahim is describedwith the powerful arguments against the polytheistic beliefs of people around him. Muslims learn that it is neither the shinning of the Sun nor the shimmering of the Moon that enables them to be worshipped. It is God who has made such beautiful heavenly bodies so surely He alone deserves worship. The passage strengthens the faith of Muslims in Prophets, which is part of the belief. Muslims learn in their daily lives that they have to serve God through pre ordained acts of worship. The passage is very much important in lives of Muslims as it encourages them to correct and purify their belief of Tawhid, oneness of God.
Surah Al-Maida(5:110)
Then will Allah say: ‘Jesus son of Mary! Recount my favour to you and to your mother. Behold! I strengthened you with the holy spirit, so that you spoke to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught you the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel. And behold! You make out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by my leave, and you breathe into it and it becomes a bird by my leave, and you heal those born blind, and the lepers, by my leave. And behold! You bring forth the dead by my leave. And behold! I restrained the Children of Israel from you when you showed them the clear signs, and the unbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but evident magic.’
a) The passage describes the theme of God’s relation with Hazrat Isa.The main teaching is that Allah supported him through wisdom and miracles. Miracles were to show that God was with him. Among the children of Bani Israel were those who were not ready to believe in God. Jesus was guiding people through book to the right path. Quran says the same thing at another place: “We gave him the Gospel in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurat that had come before it…”. This verse highlights the blessings of God for Hazrat Isa. We also get the teaching that thesemiracles fail to impress the disbelievers who pay no heed to the instructions of God.
b) The passage contains some significant messages for the practical lives of Muslims in daily lives. God is all powerful who grants the Miracles to the ones who are chosen personalities. The passage strengthens the faith of Muslims in Prophets as they come to know that God used to help them in different ways, that show that God was with them. The passage is also important in lives of Muslims as it tells about the people who are ill wisher of the Prophets and their message. Muslims must acknowledge the status of Prophets and the One God who made them Prophets. They also come to know that opposing the truth would never be benefitted.
Surah
Al-Duha(93)
1. By the glorious morning light, 2. And by the night when it is still, 3. Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor is he displeased. 4. And truly the Hereafter will be better for you than the present. 5. And soon your Lord will give you so that you will be pleased. 6. Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter? 7. And He found you wandering, and He gave you guidance. 8. And He found you in need, and made you independent. 9. Therefore, do not treat the orphan with harshness, 10. Nor drive the beggar away; 11. But tell about the bounty of your Lord!
never abandons His beloved personalities at difficult times. Holy Prophet had
been supported by Allah socially, financially and spiritually. God's support is
as much part of the prophetic mission as the trials and tests. His future was
bringing peace for him. Another teaching is that we should support those
who are in need, especiallythe orphans. Holy Prophet once said: “O Aisha donot turn the poor away without giving something, even if it be half a date.”This Hadith shows how much sympathy he had for orphans.
b) This passage has a great importance in Muslims daily lives. It is related to the last messenger of God, who is the seal of the Prophets. Believing in him is a part of Faith. They come to know how much respect the Prophet (s.a.w.) deserve, hence his teachings. Muslims learn that God would support them if they prove their loyalty with God. In all their sufferings and sorrows God must be entreated and called upon for help. This would enable them toovercome miseries of their lives. Whenever they are distressed they should think of past favours that how God had helped them. Thus the optimistic belief would open further avenues for them to continue their normal lives with courage and compose them to live a successful life in the society.
Surah
Al-Kausar(108)
1. To you have We granted abundance. 2. So pray to your Lord and sacrifice. 3. For he who hates you, he will be cut off
a) The main theme of Surah Al-Kauthar is to console the Prophet (s.a.w.) and to give him reassurance that he is blessed with limitless spiritual abundance. In surah Al-Duah it is said: “And your future will be better than the present.”
uccess for him. The teaching we get is that there is no room to disrespect the Prophet (s.a.w.). He is taught that he should not abandon his religious obligations in any situation but must submit to the will of Allah. In this passage, Allah condemns those who condemn the Prophet (s.a.w).
b) This passage contains theme which is very significant in the daily lives of Muslims. The passage gives hope and courage amidst the distress caused by the remarks passed by those who do not have faith. They come to know that if their Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) was not spared then how they can be spared by opposition. All they can do is to firmly believe that their God will support them and they should strengthen their spiritual bonds with their Lord through different acts of worship. Their optimistic attitude of trust in God and love for Him must not be hampered by the remarks passed by opposition. This is because God is an enough shield to overcome their evil plans.
