BISMILLAH IR-RAHMAN IR- RAHIM

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH MOST BENEFICENT, MOST MERCIFUL  

Tonight’s taraweeh consists of Tabârak allathî. The Sûras covered are Mulk, Qalam, Hâqqa, Al-Ma’ârij, Nûh, Jinn, Muzzammil, Muddaththir, Qiyâma, Dahr and Mursalât. Sûrah Mulk: All the finest qualities belong to Allah (SWT) Whose Message can be clearly seen in His Creation. Everything has been created for our use by Allah (SWT), Who guards us from all dangers. People who still refuse to accept Allah (SWT)’s signs will be punished. Those who accept them and fear Allah (SWT) will be rewarded. Allah (SWT)’s Promise is certain to be fulfilled on the Day of Judgment. Look at His Signs and consider once more His Favours. Sûrah Qalam: The Pen stands for Allah (SWT)’s Record of all deeds, and His Orders. By that symbol the man of Allah (SWT) comes with a Plan and Guidance from Allah (SWT) that must eventually win. Truth is above Falsehood. Men must be tested at all times to ascertain that they do not become over confident and forget Allah (SWT). That is how He tested the Companions of the Garden who were sure of plucking their fruit the next morning. But Allah (SWT) caused the garden to become bare; so they learnt the lesson that Allah (SWT)’s Will works in wonderful ways. Evil and Good can never have the same end. Can the wrongdoers “produce their partners with Allah (SWT) if they are truthful?”


 On the Day of Judgement the sinners will be punished. The good man must be patient always, like Yûnus (AS) (who suffered in agony), but his repentance brought on him Allah (SWT)’s Favours. Sûrah Hâqqa: What is Reality? The proud nations of the past rejected Allah (SWT)’s signs and were destroyed. But this destruction was just a small suffering compared to their doom in the Hereafter, where Good and Evil will be sorted out. The righteous will enjoy a great reward while the wrong-doers will suffer a terrible penalty. This is not an idle message; it is Allah (SWT)’s Truth. The Message of the Qur’ân is the only Reality. Sûrah Al-Ma’ârij: Patience and the mystery of Time will show the ways that rise to heaven. Only patience, prayer, good deeds, Faith, and the motive to please Allah (SWT) lead us to Allah (SWT)’s Presence where no evil can enter. No matter how rosy evil looks, it will be destroyed in the Hereafter. Sûrah Nûh: Those who stubbornly deny Allah (SWT)’s Message will be destroyed. The lesson is that because Good must uphold Truth and Righteousness, a stage is reached when it must part company with Evil to prevent Evil from spreading its corruption further. This is all pointed out in Nûh (AS)’s story, which is almost a parable to Muhammad (SAW)’s stay with the wicked Makkan Pagans. Sûrah Jinn: Allah (SWT)’s Truth is accepted by strange creatures, among them Jinns, which shows that Allah (SWT) is remembered by all His Creation. When man is heart sore that his own people are selfish, how pleased does he become when he learns that even spiritual forces have accepted Allah (SWT)’s Message! Man’s duty is only to proclaim Allah (SWT)’s Message. Knowledge of the Unseen belongs only to Allah (SWT). Sûrah Muzzammil: Prayer and Humility are important if one wants to lead a good spiritual life. Devote yourselves to the service of Allah (SWT) and pray at night. Allah (SWT) will punish the evil ones in due course. Allah (SWT) wants to make matters easy.

Be faithful, sincere, remember Allah (SWT) and seek His Grace. Sûrah Muddaththir: The qualities mentioned in the last Sûrah are important for preparing a person for the role of guide and leader of mankind. But when Allah (SWT)’s Command comes, he must rise and proclaim the Message for the good of all mankind. Those who reject Allah (SWT) will be severely punished on the Day of Judgement. All can earn reward by praying, having Faith and being charitable. Sûrah Qiyâma: Shun all evil. Believe in the Hereafter because Allah (SWT) is able to bring you back to life after your death. Allah (SWT) has not created you without purpose or responsibility. On the Day you will give evidence against your own wrong; therefore, remember the Hereafter at all times. The faces of the blessed will shine with brightness and beauty. The others will be sad as if a misfortune had befallen them. May that man be cursed who still does not think of Allah(SWT)’s Purpose and the noble destiny for which Allah (SWT) gave him life and its gifts. Sûrah Dahr: Before his creation, man was a nonbeing. Then Allah (SWT) created him. His beginning was certainly very low an ordinary. Then Allah (SWT) “showed him the way” and left the freedom of choice in man’s hands. Those who do good are rewarded. The wicked ones are punished; therefore, be patient and praise Allah (SWT) at all times. Sûrah Mursalât: The winds show Allah (SWT)’s Kindness and Power. They gently bring rain but they can also blow violently and destroy. So works Allah (SWT)’s Revelation. It can gently bring the Message but it can also mercilessly wipe out evil and Falsehood. The theme is quite similar to Sûrah Qiyâma. It describes the horror of the Hereafter for the rejecters of Truth.
