And ALLĀH has said ˹O mankind˺: Take not ilāhain (two gods in worship). Verily, HE (ALLĀH) is ˹the˺ only One Ilāh (God). So fear only ME.

And to HIM belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and to HIM ˹alone˺ is the everlasting devotion. Then is it other than ALLĀH that you fear?

And whatever you have of blessings - it is from ALLĀH. Then when adversity touches you, to HIM you cry for help.

Then when HE removes the adversity from you, at once a party of you associates others with their Lord.

Only returning OUR favours with ingratitude. So enjoy yourselves, for you will soon know.

THE MOUTHS OF THE DISBELIEVERS WILL BE SEALED ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION

ALLĀH says,

الْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَا أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
This Day WE will seal their mouths, their hands will speak to US, and their feet will testify to what they used to commit.

This will be the state of the disbelievers and hypocrites on the Day of Resurrection, when they deny the sins they committed in this world and swear that they did not do that. ALLĀH will seal their mouths and cause their limbs to speak about what they did.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Anas bin Malik, may ALLĀH be pleased with him, said,

"We were with the Prophet and he smiled so broadly that his molar could be seen, then he said:

Do you know why I am smiling?

We said, 'ALLĀH and HIS Messenger know best.'

He said: "Because of the way a servant will argue with his Lord on the Day of Resurrection. He will say, 'O Lord, will YOU not protect me from injustice!'

(ALLĀH) will say, "Of course."

He will say, "I will not accept any witness against me except from myself."

(ALLĀH) will say, "Today you will be a sufficient witness against yourself, and the honorable scribes will serve as witnesses against you."

Then his mouth will be sealed, and it will be said to his faculties, "Speak!" So they will speak of what he did. Then he will be permitted to speak, and he will say,

"May you be doomed! It was for you that I was fighting."

This was recorded by Muslim and An-Nasa'i.

Ibn Jarir narrated that Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, may ALLĀH be pleased with him, said,

"The believer will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection, and his Lord will show him his deeds, just between him and HIS Lord. HE will admit it and will say, 'Yes, O Lord, I did do that.'

Then ALLĀH will forgive him his sins and conceal them, and no creature on earth will see any of those sins, but his good deeds will be seen, and he will want all the people to see them.

Then the disbeliever and the hypocrite will be brought to account, and his Lord will show him his deeds and he will deny them, saying, 'O Lord, by Your glory, this angel has written down things that I did not do.'

The angel will say to him, 'Did you not do such and such on such a day and in such a place?'

He will say, 'No, by Your glory, I did not do that.' When he says this, ALLĀH will seal his mouth."

Imam Aḥmad Ḥanbal (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) was asked regarding a man from the people of knowledge who errs and repented from it. He said:

"ALLĀH will not accept that from him until:

1. He outwardly manifests the Tawbah.

2. He retracts his statement.

3. He publicly announces that he made such and such statement.

4. That he repents to ALLĀH the Exalted for his statement and recants from it.

If he outwardly displays this then it will be accepted."

Then he recited the statement of ALLĀH the Exalted:

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَأَصْلَحُوا وَبَيَّنُوا فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ

THERE IS NO REFUGE BESIDES ALLĀH

ALLĀH says,

وَلَن تَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا
And never will you find in other than HIM a refuge.

That is, you will never find any other than your Lord to whom you may turn. Once it has become clear that HE is the only One to turn to in all one’s affairs, this indicates that there is no other option but to worship HIM alone and pray to HIM at times of ease and of hardship, for HE is the only One Who is needed in all situations and the only One to be asked for all one’s needs.

BENEFIT 05: REGARDING DOWRY (MAHR)

It has been established that if the dowry (mahr) is specified and stipulated in the marriage contract, and he (the husband) divorces her (the wife) before consummation, she is entitled to half of the dowry. However, if the dowry is not mentioned in the contract but is later agreed upon either by mutual consent or through a judicial decision, does she then deserve half of the agreed (specified) dowry after the contract or not?

The Hanafis said: The dowry specified after the contract is not subject to halving, as the halving is exclusive to the dowry stipulated in the contract, according to the explicit text of the Qur'ān. The woman ˹in this case˺ is only entitled to a consolation gift (mut'ah).

The majority of scholars said: The dowry specified after the contract is subject to halving just like the one stipulated in the contract. This is the correct opinion because the statement of ALLĀH, "Then ˹give her˺ half of what you specified” includes every dowry in a valid marriage, whether specified in the contract or afterward. HE, the Almighty, did not say, "half of what you specified in the contract itself"... If that was intended, HE would have clarified it and not left it ambiguous... (End of quote) (¹)

قال الحنفية : لا ينتصف المفروض بعد العقد، لاختصاص التنصيف بالمفروض في العقد بنص القرآن، وإنما تجب للمرأة المتعة فقط.

وقال الجمهور: ينتصف المفروض بعد العقد كالمسمى في العقد، وهو الصحيح لأن قوله تعالى: {فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ} عموم لكل صداق في نكاح صحيح فرضه الناكح في العقد أو بعده، ولم يقل عز وجل : فنصف ما فرضتم في نفس العقد، ... ولو أراد ذلك لبينه لنا ولم يهمله . . . » اهـ (1) .

🌙 THE SIX VOLUNTARY FASTS OF THE MONTH OF SHAWWĀL

Abu Ayyūb (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime." {Muslim}

He (ﷺ) explained this when he said: “Whoever fasts for six days after (Eid) al-Fitr has completed the year:  “ALLĀH has made for each hasanah ten like it, so a month is like fasting ten months, and fasting six days completes the year.” {Sahih al-Targhib wa’l-Tarhib (1/421)}

The rewards of the month of Ramadān are equal to that of ten months, and that of these six voluntary fasts are equal to that of the remaining two months to complete the full year. These fasts could be kept continuously after Eid or separately during the month of Shawwāl.

May ALLĀH grant us the strength and guidance to remain committed to our fast, Salah, recitation of the Qur'an and other righteous deeds after Ramadān. Aamīn

THE SIX FAST OF SHAWWAL

Abu Ayyub (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "He who observes fast in the month of Ramadān, and also observes fast for six days in the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has observed fast for the whole year.'' {Muslim}

{Riyādhus-Saliḥīn: Book 9, Chapter 228, Hadith 1254}

Hafiz Salahudeen Yusuf commented: "According to the formula that there is at least ten-fold reward for every virtue, the fast of one month (Ramadān) are equivalent to fast of ten months. If one also observes six days of fast of Shawwal, they will be equal to fast of two months. Thus, one becomes eligible for the reward of one full years' Saum. He who makes it a permanent feature is like one who observes Saum throughout his life. He will be considered by ALLĀH as one who observes fast permanently.

Although voluntary in nature, they are highly important. One can observe these six-day Saum at a stretch or with intervals, but their observance one after the other at the beginning of the month is better.

Similarly, if a person has missed some fast of Ramadān due to illness, travelling etc., he should first make up the shortfall and then observe the voluntary six-day fast of Shawwal."

📖 Sharḥ Riyādhus-Saliḥīn

GUIDANCE FROM THE HADITH:

1⃣. A good deed is rewarded with ten times as much. So, the fasting of Ramadān is equal to ten months. The six days in Shawwal equal sixty days, namely two months. This adds up to a whole year.

2⃣. It states the promised reward for those who fast the entire Ramadān along with six days in Shawwal even if the six days were not in succession.

CONDITIONS FOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF DEEDS

The statement,

who fear ALLĀH in their actions.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "If I become certain that ALLĀH has accepted even one prayer from me, it will be better for me than this life and all that in it. This is because ALLĀH says,

Verily, ALLĀH accepts only from the those who have Taqwa.

{Tafsi‌r Ibn Kathīr}

The more correct view concerning the meaning of fearing ALLĀH here is that what is referred to is those who show the quality of fearing ALLĀH in doing that action ˹of sacrifice˺, in the sense that their action is done sincerely for the sake of ALLĀH, following the Sunnah of the Messenger of ALLĀH.

THE COMMAND TO KEEP ONESELF CHASTE IF ONE IS NOT ABLE TO GET MARRIED

ALLĀH's saying

وَلْيَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ نِكَاحًا حَتَّى يُغْنِيَهُمْ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ
And let those who do not have the means to marry keep themselves chaste until ALLĀH enriches them out of HIS bounty.

This ruling applies to the one who is unable to get married. ALLĀH instructs him to keep himself chaste, refrain from that which is prohibited and to take measures to restrain himself and prevent thoughts crossing his mind that may prompt him to fall into sin. He should also do what the Prophet (ﷺ) instructed, as he said: "O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, and whoever cannot, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him." (Muslim)

And let those who do not have the means to marry...

That is, they are not able to get married, either because they themselves are poor or because their guardians and masters are poor, or because the latter refused to arrange marriages for them, and they do not have the means to force them to do that. This interpretation is better than the interpretation of those who understood it to refer to those who cannot afford the mahr (dowry) for marriage. There are two reservations about the latter interpretation:

1 - The word mahr is not mentioned in this verse, so we should not assume that this is what is meant.

2- Introducing the idea of the mahr would restrict the meaning to free people who can or cannot afford it, and would exclude male and female slaves and those whose marriage is the responsibility of their guardians, as we have mentioned above.

...keep themselves chaste until ALLĀH enriches them out of HIS bounty.

This is a promise to the one who keeps himself chaste that ALLĀH will suffice him and make things easy for him; he is instructed to await relief so that his situation will not become unbearable.

GLAD TIDINGS TO THE HUMBLE AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS

ALLĀH says,

And give good tidings

to the humble

That is, those who humble themselves before their Lord and submit to HIS command, and are humble towards HIS slaves.

Then ALLĀH describes the characteristics of the humble:

الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ
those whose hearts are filled with awe when ALLĀH is mentioned,

That is, their hearts are filled with fear and veneration, and for that reason they refrain from that which is forbidden, because of their fear and awe of ALLĀH alone.

وَالصَّابِرِينَ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَهُمْ
who endure with patience whatever befalls them

of hardship, sickness or other kinds of harm. They do not become discontent with any of that; rather they bear it with patience for the sake of their Lord, seeking HIS reward and hoping for it.

وَالْمُقِيمِي الصَّلَاةِ
and who perform the Salah,

That is, those who establish it properly and perfectly, by doing that which is obligatory and that which is recommended, with complete submission and servitude, both outward and inward.

وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
and spend out of what WE have provided for them.

This includes all kinds of obligatory expenditure, such as zakah, expiation, spending on wives, dependents and relatives, as well as recommended kinds of spending such as charity of all kinds.

It says "out of what" so as to highlight that it is only some of it, so as to indicate how easy the commands of ALLĀH are, and to encourage people to do that, because it is only a small part of that which ALLĀH has provided. The individual could not have obtained it, were it not that ALLĀH made it easy for him and provided it to him. This command is addressed to one who has received provision from the bounty of ALLĀH: spend out of what ALLĀH has provided for you, and ALLĀH will spend on you and give you more.

THE COMMAND TO AVOID SIN OPENLY AND SECRETLY

وَذَرُواْ ظَاهِرَ الاِثْمِ وَبَاطِنَهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْسِبُونَ الاِثْمَ سَيُجْزَوْنَ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَقْتَرِفُونَ
Leave sin, open and secret. Verily, those who commit sin will get due recompense for that which they used to commit.

What is meant by sin here is all acts of disobedience that cause trouble for the individual with regard to the rights of ALLĀH and the rights of other people. ALLĀH forbids HIS slaves to commit sin openly or in secret, whether those sins have to do with physical actions or have to do with thoughts, beliefs and attitudes in the heart.

The individual has not fully given up sin, either outward or hidden, until he learns what it is and finds out about it. Finding out about it and learning what constitutes sin, both outward or hidden, so that one is aware of it, is an individual obligation for everyone who is accountable.

Many people are unaware of many sins, especially the sins of the heart such as arrogance, self-admiration, showing off and so on, to such an extent that a person may commit many of these sins without being aware of it, because of lack of knowledge and lack of understanding.

Then ALLĀH tells us that those who incur a burden of sin, whether openly or in secret, will be requited according to what they earn and according to the extent of their sins, small or great. This recompense will come in the hereafter, and it may come in this world, whereby a person will be punished, thus reducing his burden of sin.

"I wonder whether the one who during Ramadān was fasting, reciting and reading Qur’ān, giving and spending in charity, praying at night, making du’aa’, will he be like that after Ramadān, or will he follow another path, I mean the path of the Shaytān, so that he commits sin and does things that anger the Most Gracious, Most Merciful?

If a Muslim continues to have the patience to do righteous deeds after Ramadān, this is a sign that his fasting has been accepted by his Lord, the Most Generous, the Bestower of blessings. If he fails to do righteous deeds after Ramadān, and follows the ways of the Shaytān, this is a sign of humiliation, meanness, lowly status and being deprived of the help of ALLĀH."

And be not like her who undoes the thread which she has spun, after it has become strong.

By breaking your covenants, like the worst example that is most indicative of the foolishness of the one who breaks his covenant, which is the likeness of the woman who spins a strong thread, then when it has become strong as expected, she undoes it and breaks it into strands, because she got tired of spinning it, then when she undid it she got tired again, so she did not gain anything except frustration, tiredness, foolishness and lack of reasoning. This is like the one who breaks the covenant he made: he is a wrongdoer and a fool who is lacking in religious commitment and dignity.

{Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di}

The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved of deeds to ALLĀH are those which are continuous, even if they are little." {Muslim}

THE PROHIBITION OF GOING AGAINST THE MESSENGER'S ﷺ COMMANDMENT

ALLĀH says:

فَلْيَحْذَرِ الَّذِينَ يُخَالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ
And let those beware who oppose the Messenger's commandment,

This means going against the commandment of the Prophet ﷺ, which is his way, methodology and Sunnah. All words and deeds will be measured against his words and deeds; those that are in accordance with his words and deeds will be accepted, and whatever does not match up will be rejected, no matter who the person is who said and did them.

It was recorded in the Two Sahihs and elsewhere that the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said: "Whoever does a deed that is not in accordance with this matter of ours will have it rejected."

meaning, let those beware who go against the Shariah of the Messenger, in secret and in the open,

أَن تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ
lest some Fitnah should befall them,

i.e., lest some disbelief or hypocrisy or innovation enter their hearts.

أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
or a painful torment be inflicted on them.

means in this world afflicting them with capital punishment, or by law of prescribed punishment, or by confinement in prison, or so on.
