Manzil 3
Ruku 172 - 239
Starting from Surah Yunus through An-Nahl (7 Surah)
Al-Qur'an is the book of wisdom. Allah is the One Who created this universe. He is the One Who originates creation and repeats it. There are signs of His manifestation in the creation of the heavens, earth, sun, moon, day and night.
The behaviour of the wrong doers towards Allah and His revelations. Deities other than Allah can neither harm nor benefit you. Mankind was one nation until they invented different creeds.
People call upon Allah in when suffering but plot against Him when comfortable. Example of this worldly life. Allah invites you to the Home of Peace. Deities whom they worship are not even aware of being worshipped.
Reasoning and truth about Allah vs. other gods invented by the mushrikin. This Qur'an is the revelation from Allah.
Those who disbelieve in this Qur'an shall be the losers in the hereafter. Every nation was sent a Rasool for their guidance.
On the Day of Judgement, there shall be no way out for the unbelievers. Al-Qur'an is a mercy, blessing, and cure for the problems of mankind.
Whatever you do, Allah is a witness to it. The mushrikin are wrong, they follow nothing but conjecture, preach nothing but falsehood.
The story of the Prophet Nuh and his people. Rasools were sent to the descendants of the Prophet Nuh – similarly the Prophets Musa and Haroon were sent to Pharaoh.
The story of Musa and Fir’on. Children of Israel were delivered from the bondage of Fir'on.
Children of Israel were provided with good things of life. Belief after seeing the scourge did not benefit any nation except the nation of Yunus. Forcing someone to convert to Islam is prohibited.
No one other than Allah can harm or benefit you. Declare that guidance has come – now to follow or not to follow is your choice.
Teachings of the Qur'an. Allah is the Sustainer of all creatures.
Man is ever ungrateful to Allah except believers. Al-Qur'an is not forged by the Prophet. The People of the Book (Jews & Christians) are of two kinds: those, who can see the Truth, and those who choose not to.
The Prophet Nuh's address to his people. Nuh's people challenged him and asked for the scourge of Allah.
Allah commanded Nuh to build an ark. Allah commanded Nuh to embark and gather on board the believers and a pair from every species. Dialogue between Nuh, his son, and Allah.

The Qur'an is revealed in the Arabic language. Story of the Prophet Yusuf (Joseph).
In this story there are lessons for the inquirers. The stepbrothers of Yusuf asked their father to send him with them on a hunting trip and threw him in a dark well. They told their father that Yusuf was eaten by a wolf. A caravan kidnapped him, brought him to Egypt, and sold him.
The Egyptian who bought him was a good man. His master's wife tried to seduce him but Allah saved him.
The women of the town started pointing fingers at the wife of Al-Aziz. As a result, she invited them to a banquet and asked Yusuf to appear before them.
Two prison inmates had dreams and asked Yusuf for interpretation. Yusuf's address to his fellow inmates.
The King of Egypt had a dream and asked for its interpretation. Yusuf's interpretation of the King's dream.
The King of Egypt heard the case of the women and found that Yusuf was innocent. Yusuf's appointment as a King's cabinet member.
Yusuf's brothers came to Egypt to get food and grain. Yusuf asked them to bring Benjamin (Yusuf's younger brother). They asked their father to send Benjamin with them in order to get more grain. Yaqoob's advice to his sons.
Yusuf introduced himself to his brother Benjamin and schemed to retain him. Benjamin was accused of stealing so that he could be retained.
Yusuf's brothers went back and told their father about the incident of Benjamin's stealing and retention. They came to Yusuf and begged for food and some charity. Yusuf disclosed his identity. He forgave his brothers and sent for his family.
Yaqoob got the good news of his son Yusuf. Thus, his family was relocated from Kenan to Egypt. Yusuf's prayer to live and die as a Muslim.
Most of the people who believe in Allah also commit shirk. All the Rasools were human beings. The story of Yusuf is confirmation of previous scriptures.
Al-Qur'an is revealed by Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth Trees, fruit, vegetables and their tastes are the signs of Allah.
Allah never changes the condition of a people unless they strive to change themselves. Pray to Allah Alone Deities besides Allah do not have any control over harm or benefit. Those who do not respond to the call of their Rabb will have no way to escape.
Those who fulfil their pledge with Allah will have an excellent abode in the Hereafter. Those who break their pledge will have the curse and a terrible home.
It is the remembrance of Allah that provides tranquillity to hearts. There is no God but Him, all things are subject to His command.
Allah watches minutely each and every soul. The Qur'an is revealed in Arabic for easy understanding.
A Rasool has no power to show any miracle without the sanction of Allah. When Allah commands, there is none to reverse it – Allah is the Master of all planning.
This Book is revealed to bring mankind out of darkness into light. All Rasools speak the language of their own people. The Prophet Musa was sent to lead his people out of darkness into light.
If all the dwellers of Earth become nonbelievers, it makes no difference to Allah. Let the believers put their trust in Allah.
Allah punishes the wrongdoers and blesses those who dread His eminence. Allah has based the creation of heavens and earth on Truth.
Shaitãn has no power over human beings - he only invites and people follow. Greetings in Paradise will be "Peace". Examples of a "good word" and a "bad word".
Those who show ingratitude towards Allah's favors shall be cast into Hell. Allah has given you countless favors.
The prayer of Prophet Ibrahim for the city of Makkah and its residents. The prayer of Prophet Ibrahim which is made a part of a Muslims' five daily prayers.
Never think that Allah is unaware of the unjust, or that He will ever break His promise made to His Rasools. Allah is the one and Only God.
The Qur'an is the Divine Book. On the Day of Judgement, the unbelievers will wish that they were Muslims. Allah Himself has taken the responsibility of preserving the Qur'an.
Allah created and decorated the heavens and also created everything suitable for human life on earth.
Story of Adam's creation; prostration of the angels before him and the refusal of Iblis to prostrate. Iblis and his followers are destined for hell.

The same angels came to Prophet Lüt and executed Allah's decree of stoning to death the nation of homosexuals.
Punishment to the people of Hijr for their disbelief. Al-Fatiha is also called: "Seven verses worthy of oft-recitation". Proclaim the commandments of Allah publicly and turn away from the mushrikin.

On the Day of Judgment, Allah will humiliate the arrogant and cast them into hell while the righteous will be awarded paradise.
Allah has sent the Rasools to warn against the unbeliever's excuse: "If Allah wanted, we would have not worshipped anyone else".
Allah has promised a good abode for those who migrate for His sake. Do the unbelievers feel secure against the wrath of Allah.
Whenever unbelievers are in distress they call upon Allah Alone. No sooner does He relieve them that they start committing shirk.
If Allah were to punish mankind for wrongdoings, He would not leave even an animal around the wrongdoers. As water gives life to dead land so does The Qur'an to the human soul.
There is a lesson for mankind in the lives of animals i.e., milk-producing animals and the honeybee.
There is a lesson in the process of your own creation. Why believe in deities who have no power to create anything and disbelieve in Allah, the Creator?
There are also signs of Allah in the lives of the birds and the animals.
On the Day of Judgment a witness will be called from each nation and the unbelievers will face the reality of their invented false gods.
Allah commands to do justice, do good to others, and give to near relatives; and He forbids indecency, wickedness, and rebellion. What is with you is transitory; and what is with Allah is everlasting. When you recite the Qur'an, seek Allah's protection against Shaitãn.
Unbelievers accused Muhammad (pbuh) of being taught Al- Qur'an by a certain man, but the man they allude to is a non-Arab, while the Qur'an is in eloquent Arabic.
On the Day of Judgment, every soul will be paid in full for what it has done. Do not declare with your tongue what is Halal (lawful) and what is Harãm (unlawful) - Halal and Harãm are from Allah.
Ibrahim was a nation in himself. Call towards the Way of Allah with wisdom; advise and reason, if you have to, in a courteous manner.
