Juz 30 of 30 | Journeying our eyes through the Qur'an

The 30th juz has 34 meccan surahs and 3 madani surahs.  We will focus on the themes of heaven and hell for the last episode of our podcast series.  We pray we arrive in jannah a place of God’s mercy, proximity and closeness and not in hell which is distant from Allah and absent of Allah’s mercy.  The hereafter is the fruits of the seeds which we planted in this world.  In Surah an Naziat, Allah swt reminds us that this is the day in which human beings will see or be called to remember what it is that they have strived for.  Heaven and Hell are the outcomes of what we have done in this world.  It’s important to note that the pleasures of paradise and displeasures of hell are not similar to the ones we experience in this lower life.  To enter paradise there is no easy answer but the simple thing to focus on is giving a preference to the next world over this one.

Juz 29 of 30 | Journeying our eyes through the Qur'an

The 29th juz has 10 makki surahs and 1 madani surah.  Meccan surahs focus on aqeedah and one of the primary beliefs is the day of accountability.  The Qur’an explores the theme of ma’ad in great depth.  In Surah Ma’arij for example Allah swt describes the day as incredibly long, feeling as though it is 50,000 years.  The prophet (s) however is told to look forward to this day, and find comfort in it.  Since the day of judgment is a day of accountability, it is the day of true justice and a manifestation of God’s perfection.  A question to ask ourselves is if we genuinely believe in the occurrence of this day? Do our beliefs manifest into actions?

Juz 28 of 30 | Journeying our eyes through the Qur'an

The 28th Juz of the Qur’ān covers 9 surahs and all of them are madani.  Approximately four of the nine surahs address issues with regards to women. The first surah of the juz is Surah Mujadilah (the woman who contends/argues/complains).  In Surah Mujadilah the chapter opens with the complaint of the woman who is being oppressed by her husband with the practice of dhihar (a pre islamic practice of estranging the wives by equating them to their mothers). In Surah Talaq we see that Allah swt is aware of all of our intentions, and even in instances of seeking a divorce we should work towards treating each other honorably.  God’s laws are accompanied with ethical injunctions, one of our grandest tests is how we treat each other.  In Surah Tahrim, the chapter opens up with discussing a time when Rasulullah (s) was going through a difficulty with some of his wives.  Even in marital strife or conflict, the verse 6:66 encourages us to take care of our families and to help each other spiritually.  The examples of four women are taken at the end of the surah: wives of Prophet Lut, Nuh and then Sayyidah Maryam and Sayyidah Asiyah.  The examples show that our salvation is not contingent on who we are married to. Discussions on marital strife and women’s rights go back to Allah swt and how centered we are on Him.

Juz 27 of 30 | Journeying our eyes through the Qur'an

As the theme-based approach to Juz 25, 26 and 27 draws to a close, this episode focuses on the grand capacity of God’s mercy by looking at two specific forms of it: His hidayah (God’s extra guidance) and His maghfirah (forgiveness). This is an important topic as God’s forgiveness holds a massive role throughout the Quran, whereby Allah (swt) consistently mentions the showering of His mercy upon us. The episode covers the close relationship between the themes of maghfirah and hidayah, by exploring how both of them together helps our journey towards God, and the ways in which both work as manifestations of Allah’s (swt) mercy.

Juz 26 of 30 | Journeying our eyes through the Qur'an

Continuing on with the theme-based approach of Juz 25, 26 and 27, this episode explores the concept of the shayatin or the devils by focusing on the role they have on our lives and our minds. The aim here is to deconstruct the many misconceptions we have regarding the shayatin’s presence over us through Quranic verses, recognising the capacities in which they exist to misconstrue our thoughts and misguide us from the right path. In building a better awareness of this, we can thus move towards seeking protection from shaytaan through the remembrance of Allah (swt).
