BISMILLAH IR-RAHMAN IR- RAHIM

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH MOST BENEFICENT, MOST MERCIFUL

Tonight’s taraweeh consists of slightly more than the first half of ‘Amma. Details of Sûras covered appear below: Sûrah al-Naba’: Allah (SWT) has created everything for the benefit of man, so is He not capable of destroying it and causing our Resurrection? On the Day of Judgement Evil will be destroyed and Good will prosper. Return to the Path of Allah (SWT) and save yourselves. Sûrah Nâzi’ât: Evil cannot last long. Allah (SWT)’s angels are everready to destroy the wicked ones if He commands them to do so. Look at the story of the proud Pharaoh who claimed: “I am you Lord Most High”. He rejected Allah (SWT)’s Message and he was brought low by Allah (SWT)’s Punishment. So will all the proud rejecters be humbled on the Day of Judgement. Look at Allah (SWT)’s Creation and accept the Message it is offering you. Sûrah ‘Abasa: A person who is not blessed with the good things of this world may yet be in search of Allah (SWT)’s Message for his spiritual growth. Give him the Message, because Allah (SWT)’s Message is meant for all. Allah will finally separate the good from the evil and deal with each of them justly. Sûrah Takwîr: On Doomsday the world as we know it will break up and each person will learn the results of his deeds on earth. This is “the word of a most honourable Messenger”, who is dignified by Allah (SWT) and not possessed by evil spirits. It is “a Message of Allah (SWT) to (all) the World” which is clearly explained by Rasûl (SAW). Follow it and be guided. Sûrah Infitâr: This Sûrah deals with three points: (1) the final Day of Judgement, when our world will be destroyed; (2) the Lesser Judgement, where two angels record each man’s deeds; and (3) the awakening of the Inner Light within man, so that he casts aside all evil. This is considered as a Death to the Falsities of Life and a Rebirth to the True Spiritual Values.


Sûrah Tatfîf: Shun all types of fraud in your business dealings. All types of corruptions in higher spiritual life are also condemned because Allah (SWT) will judge you on the Day of Reckoning. Do not reject or mock the Truth because it will eventually succeed. The proud ones will be humiliated. Sûrah Inshiqâq: In subject matter it resembles Sûras Takwîr and Infitâr. Sûrah Burûj: Those who ill-treat the Believers (in the form of Allah [SWT]’s Truth) will be severely punished because they are being watched by Allah (SWT) Himself. He will deal with the Unbelievers as He dealt with them in the past. Sûrah Târiq: As a bright star shines gloriously even on the darkest night, so does Allah (SWT)’s Revelation remain a guide throughout the darkest period in man’s spiritual history. Man was certainly created in a very humble fashion. Let him not be proud and reject Allah (SWT)’s Word. Sûrah A’lâ: Allah (SWT) has made man capable of progress by ordered steps, and by His revelation will lead him still higher to purification and perfection.. Sûrah Ghâshiya: Good and evil will pluck the fruits that they deserve in the Hereafter. Even Allah (SWT)’s Signs in this world should convince us of His Message. We must pass on Allah (SWT)’s Message to others. If they reject it, Allah (SWT) will settle their affairs with them. Sûrah Fajr: The contrasts in Nature and Man’s history must increase the latter’s faith in the Hereafter. Yet the glamour of the present world makes him blind to Allah (SWT)’s Truths. When Allah (SWT) gives him honour and gifts, he feels proud. When Allah (SWT) limits his sustenance he complains. He does not realise the true tests in these two cases which are those of humility and patience. He dishonours orphans, does not feed the poor, devours inheritance greedily, and loves wealth excessively. Allah (SWT)’s Punishment, in these cases, is sure to come.

Only to the righteous soul will it be said: “O satisfied soul! Return to your Lord, well pleased and well-pleasing to Him. Enter among My devotees. Enter My Heaven!”. Sûrah Balad: The Prophet (SAW) was ill-treated by his own people in Makka. Likewise man is created to struggle. Once he becomes wealthy he must not boast because he will have to account before Allah (SWT). Let him use these gifts to free slaves, feed the needy and the orphans, believe, be patient, and enjoin deeds of kindness and mercy on others. Then will he be among the Companions of the Right Hand. Sûrah Shams: Allah (SWT)’s creation proclaims His Glory to remind us of Him. Allah (SWT) has enlightened the soul but has given it the freedom of choice. “Truly he who purifies it, succeeds; and he who corrupts it, fails”. The last statement is proved by the Punishment that Allah brought upon the Thamûd for their sins. Sûrah Lail: By looking at Allah (SWT)’s Creation, we see many mysteries, many differences and many opposites; e.g. the difference between night and day, and male and female. Likewise there are two paths open to man – the good and the bad. He who follows Allah (SWT)’s Message will be pleased; the other will regret. Allah (SWT)’s Guidance is always close at hand.
