When these same scholars advised young Muslims to turn their efforts to dawaah in their own communities; to work at purging the evil that had crept into our communities, these young Muslims snapped. How could these “old, out-of-touch scholars†tell us “just do dawahâ€. So they instead turned to extremism and terror… and the condition of the Muslims worsened significantly as the country enacted emergency martial laws which deprived the citizenry of many civil and human rights..
Juz 17 brings us to the magnificent surah entitled al-Anbiyaa’ – the Prophets. This surah has many well known and often quoted verses specifically on the subject of scientific evidences of the Quran and also because it contains the famous and oft-quoted verse, “And we have sent you (O’ Muhammad) naught else as a mercy to the universe.” [21:107] Yet, the main theme of this great surah is the various struggles of the different Prophets and their eventual success and victory over their people, hence the name of the surah. It is this point that we shall consider today due to its significance in the surah and in our own lives as Muslims dealing with our own challenges and trials from Allah.
Returning to the reflections tafsir series that we started in Ramadan after too long of a break long, I want to start by reminding myself and all readers, especially in these highly virtuous ten days of Dhul Hijjah, of our main purpose for reading the Quran. The Quran was sent down to us for guidance and that we may ponder upon its ayaat and implement the noble guidance within them. As I had intended before, I will always try to make these posts brief so that the reader can take away one major point to implement in their day without getting weighed down with too much detail.
