O Muslims - 64


In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful


Extract from QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART II:

6. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo in jaakum fasiqun binaba-in fatabayyanoo an tuseeboo qawman bijahalatin fatusbihoo AAala ma faAAaltum nadimeena


49:6. O you who believe! Should a profligate bring you news, examine it critically, lest you harm a people in ignorance, and then be sorry for what you did.

O Muslims - 63

 

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful


Extract from QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART II:

2. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tarfaAAoo aswatakum fawqa sawti alnnabiyyi wala tajharoo lahu bialqawli kajahri baAAdikum libaAAdin an tahbata aAAmalukum waantum la tashAAuroona


49:2. O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the Prophet’s voice, nor speak loudly to him as you speak loudly to one another, lest your deeds become unwittingly worthless.


The Prophet’s personal voice can no longer be heard now, but the content of that voice remains recorded in the Qur’aan! So, this Verse, in the circumstance, means that believers now ought not to suppress the Qur’aanic stipulations, nor should they act against these, either in letter or in spirit.

O Muslims - 62

 

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful


Extract from QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART II:

1. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tuqaddimoo bayna yadayi Allahi warasoolihi waittaqoo Allaha inna Allaha sameeAAun AAaleemun


49:1. O you who believe! Do not push yourself forward in the presence of Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah. Allah does indeed hear all, know all.


Now that the Messenger is not present with us in this world, the Verse could only mean that we should not go against any of Allah’s dictates in the Qur’aan!
