In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Nice comment on the book of cards identifying the surahs of the Holy Qur’an
By Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Aziz bin Omar Nassif, may God protect him
Surat Al-Ma'idah
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to God, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God
With a new clip of nice commentary on ID cards
The surah today is the table sura, and it is recited by three pauses
The truth is that these pauses today will not be related to what was written in afforestation
Rather, they are illumination in the reading of this Surah, which helps, along with the encouragement of contemplation and sufficiency in it, God willing
The first pause is with the first quarter of Hizb in the surah
From the beginning of the surah to the end of the eleventh verse
We notice that the word “and fear God” was repeated frequently in these two pages
In the second verse, “And fear God. Indeed, God is powerful in His power.”
And in the fourth verse, “Fear God. Indeed, God is quick to judge.”
And in the seventh verse, “And fear God. Indeed, God is All-Knowing of what is in the breasts.”
And in the eighth verse, “And fear God. Indeed, God is aware of what you do.”
And in the eleventh verse: Fear God and in God let the believers put their trust
We notice first that the Holy One, Glory be to Him, attaches the command to piety in a sentence
This sentence is often a guide to something that helps one attain piety
And fear God. God is severe in punishment
Remember that God is severe in punishment and increases piety in the heart
And fear God, for God is quick to judge
And fear God. Indeed, God is All-Knowing of what is within the breasts
Remembering His knowledge, Glory be to Him, increases piety, and so on
Then another matter if you think about it
If you had commanded one of the greats once, twice or three times
If you are not ashamed of Him, you should at least fear Him
You fear his tyranny and power over you
So how is it that the Creator has commanded us to be pious? I do not say five times
Rather, the Qur’an is full of this sentence
Repeating it should not generate coldness in feeling
Rather, you should remember every time that the Creator says to you
Fear God
That is, master
But he says fear God to invoke this great name
With the qualities of majesty and perfection
Whatever you heard and fear God, hold yourself accountable
Where are we in implementing this great matter?
Which should occupy our time
Think about how to check it
And strive to do so practically
By doing everything he is commanded to do
And denounce everything that is forbidden
Questioning, learning and applying
As for the second stop
It goes back to most of this Surah
Many of its verses were revealed late
We say that many of its verses were revealed late
This is well known among scholars
Although some verses were revealed early
And with this we look at
The rulings mentioned in the Surah
We find it in matters that people may think are side effects
The legal rulings on it are detailed in the Qur’an
Proof that the Qur’an is comprehensive for life
Notice, for example, what God Almighty says:
O you who have believed, it is only wine and gambling
And monuments and stones
Wine is a drink
There are many rulings on foods and drinks mentioned in the Surah
Wine is a drink and gambling is a game
Gambling is a kind of amusement game
And monuments and stones
This is linked to corrupt beliefs
It was among the people of pre-Islamic times
The provisions of the Sharia
It is not related to any aspect of life
Rather, it includes all aspects of life
O you who have believed, it is only wine and gambling
And monuments and stones
A man who is the work of Satan, so avoid him
Here someone comes out and says:
You brought religion into everything, even into games
The answer comes in the last verse in the great Surah
It is a conclusion linked to the entire Surah
As some scholars have alerted
God Almighty said in the last verse in the surah:
To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them
He is powerful over all things
Notice this verse
It is related to all the provisions contained in the Surah
No matter how much you object
On one of the provisions of the Surah
Or the provisions of Sharia in general
Why does he even get into people's games?
They must rule according to Sharia law
Yes, in their play, entertainment, and food
And in their drink and in all their conditions
The law must have supreme authority
The order is implemented until it is permitted
A legal ruling that supports this issue in people’s minds
To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them
Therefore, he is the one who has the right
To say that this is permissible and this is forbidden
This is prohibited, this is excused, etc
He said: He has power over all things
The king is his king and he rules as he pleases
And his full ability
We are in his grip, whether we disobeyed him or disobeyed him
What a beautiful verse
The Surah was concluded with it and its provisions were linked to it
If you want, after you know a legal ruling
To find the strength to actually implement it or leave it
You should follow this verse
To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them
He is powerful over everything
Perhaps this verse reminds you of the end of Al-Baqarah
To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth
Whether you reveal what is within yourselves or conceal it, God will hold you accountable for it
He forgives whomever He wants and excuses whomever He wants
God is capable of everything
Notice the similarity
This surah is full of rulings
And this one too
This brings us to the third pause
It is to meditate on the first sentence in the surah
O you who believe, fulfill your contracts
With the verse before the last verse
It is the Almighty’s saying: God said, “This is a day when the truthful will benefit from their honesty.”
If you fulfill the contracts
I followed the commands of God mentioned in this Surah
So give good news, for the matter on the Day of Resurrection will be as God said
God said: This is a day when the truthful will benefit from their honesty
They will have gardens under which rivers flow, and they will abide therein forever
May God be pleased with them and they be pleased with him
That's a great win
Therefore, these two verses should be brought to mind when reading the entire surah
Whoever can, it is not difficult
But the one who succeeds is the one whom God grants success
Who can perform this Surah in prayer at night?
He reads it all in one night
Or at least in one sitting, even during the day
Many of its meanings will be revealed to him
The connection between the beginning and the end will be revealed to him
And all its verses are linked to the beginning
And the connection of all its verses to the last
I ask God to benefit me and you with the Great Qur’an
And to make this Surah an argument for us, not against us
May God bless our Prophet Muhammad
And upon him and all his companions
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
