Allahs Messengers:
Main Theme of These Verses
(Surah Al-Baqarah)
The main theme of these verses is the importance of knowledge, obedience to
Allah, and the dangers of arrogance and deception. Allah honored Prophet Adam
(AS) with knowledge, showing that wisdom and understanding are key to
leadership and success. The angels obeyed Allah’s command, but Iblis, due to
arrogance, refused and was punished. The story also teaches that humans can
make mistakes, but sincere repentance leads to Allah’s mercy and guidance
Surah Al-An’aam (6:75-79) – The Power of Reason in Faith
Main Theme: These verses highlight Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) journey to
discovering the oneness of Allah. He questioned the worship of celestial bodies,
realizing that they disappear and cannot be true gods. Through reasoning, he
rejected false beliefs and submitted fully to Allah.
Life Lesson: We should use our intellect to seek the truth and not follow beliefs
blindly. Faith should be based on understanding and conviction, just as Prophet
Ibrahim (AS) demonstrated.
Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:110) – Allah’s Power and the Role of Prophets
Main Theme: This verse describes the miracles of Prophet Isa (AS), such as
healing the blind, bringing the dead to life, and speaking as an infant. However,
all of these miracles happened only by Allah’s permission, showing that prophets
are messengers, not divine beings.
Life Lesson: We should recognize that all power belongs to Allah and that
prophets are guides sent to teach us His message. We must respect and follow
their teachings while understanding that only Allah has ultimate authority.
Surah Ad-Duha (93) – Hope, Patience, and Gratitude
Main Theme: This Surah was revealed when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
felt sad and abandoned due to a temporary pause in revelation. Allah reassured
him that He had not forgotten him and that his future would be better than his
past. The Surah also reminds him of Allah’s past blessings, like guiding him
when he was lost and providing for him when he was in need.
Life Lesson: Hard times don’t last forever, and Allah’s help is always near. We
should stay patient, trust Allah’s plan, and remain grateful for the blessings we
already have.
Surah Al-Kawthar (108) – Gratitude and Worship
Main Theme: This short but powerful Surah promises the Prophet (PBUH) a
great blessing—Al-Kawthar, a river in Paradise. Allah instructs him to pray and
make sacrifices as a sign of gratitude. The Surah also warns that those who
oppose him will be cut off from Allah’s mercy.
Life Lesson: We should always be grateful for Allah’s blessings and show our
gratitude through prayer, worship, and good deeds. No matter how much people
oppose us, Allah’s support is greater.
Surha Al Baqrah
Allah created Prophet Adam (AS) as the leader (Khalifa) of Earth. When the angels
questioned why, Allah showed Adam’s superiority by giving him knowledge. Allah
commanded the angels to bow to Adam, but Iblis (Satan) refused and was punished.
Adam and his wife, Hawwa (Eve), lived in Paradise but ate from a forbidden tree after
Iblis tricked them. They fell from Paradise, but Allah forgave them and taught that
knowledge is a gift and arrogance leads to downfall.
Surha Al Anaam:
These verses describe Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) journey to understanding the oneness of
Allah. Born into a society that worshipped the stars, moon, and sun, Ibrahim (AS)
realized they were not gods because they disappeared. He rejected polytheism and
declared faith in Allah, showing the importance of using intellect to find the truth.
Despite opposition, he remained firm in his belief.
Surha Al Maidha
On the Day of Judgment, Allah will remind Prophet Isa (AS) of the miracles and
blessings He gave him, like speaking as a child and performing miracles. Even though
he showed many signs, some people rejected him and called him a magician. Allah
protected Isa (AS) and made sure his mission continued. Isa (AS) was a prophet, not
the son of Allah, and he taught people to believe in one God, following the Torah’s
teachings. This shows Allah’s power and the role of prophets as His messengers.
Surha Ad Duhaa
Surah Ad-Duha (93) was revealed when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) felt sad
because the revelation had stopped for a while. People thought Allah had abandoned
him, but this Surah reassured him that Allah was with him and promised a better future.
It reminded him of Allah’s past blessings, like protection as an orphan and support
through Hazrat Khadija (RA). The Surah teaches kindness to orphans, helping the
needy, and being grateful for Allah’s blessings. It reminds all believers that tough times
will pass and Allah’s mercy is always near.
Surha Al Kawthar
Surah Al-Kawthar (108) is a short chapter with three verses, where Allah promises the
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) a special river called Al-Kawthar, symbolizing His endless
blessings. Allah advises the Prophet (PBUH) to pray and make sacrifices in gratitude for
these gifts. The Surah warns that those who reject the Prophet (PBUH) will be cut off
from Allah’s blessings. It encourages believers to stay thankful, worship Allah sincerely,
and appreciate His generosity, reminding them of Allah’s abundant gifts for the grateful
and obedient.

the first adult male to embrace Islam. He was known for his truthfulness,
sincerity, and generosity. His title “As-Siddiq” (The Truthful) was given to him by

bravery and fighting skills. He played a crucial role in several battles, including

sacrifices ensured the spread and preservation of the faith. Their lives serve as
inspirations for Muslims worldwide, reminding them of the importance of faith,

Brotherhood, Immigrants, and Helpers
Brotherhood (Mawakhat)
One of the greatest blessings of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) migration
(Hijrah) was the establishment of Mawakhat, or brotherhood, between the
Muhajirin (Emigrants) and the Ansar (Helpers). The Prophet (PBUH) gathered
them at the house of Anas and paired one Muhajir with one Ansar as brothers.
The Ansar shared their homes, wealth, and resources with the Muhajirin,
ensuring they were supported and settled.
The Quran praised this act, saying:
“Those who believed and adopted exile, and fought for the faith, with their
property and their persons, in the cause of Allah, as well as those who gave
(them) asylum and aid, these are (all) friends and protectors, one of another.”
(8:72)
This unity helped the Muhajirin settle in Madinah and allowed them to rebuild
their lives through trade and hard work. The Ansar considered it an honor to help,
while the Muhajirin quickly became self-sufficient.
The Helpers (Ansar)
The Ansar were the Muslims of Madinah who welcomed and assisted the
Prophet (PBUH) and the Muhajirin. They were mainly from the Khazraj tribe,
which had invited the Prophet (PBUH) to Madinah. They were known for their
kindness, generosity, and deep faith.
The Quran describes their selflessness:
“They give them preference over themselves, even though poverty was their
(own lot).” (59:9)
After the Prophet’s (PBUH) death, the Ansar initially wanted a leader from among
themselves but later accepted Hazrat Abu Bakr as the first Caliph.
The Emigrants (Muhajirin)
The Muhajirin were the early Muslims who migrated from Makkah to Madinah
due to persecution by the Quraysh. They sacrificed their wealth, homes, and
even families for Islam.
The Quran honors them:
“Those who believe and suffer exile and strive with might and main, in Allah’s
cause, with their goods and their persons, have the highest rank in the sight of
Allah.” (9:20)
They remained dedicated to Islam and, after some time, became economically
stable through trade and hard work. Their loyalty and sacrifices earned them a
high status in Islam.
