Manzil 5
Ruku 316 - 387
Starting from Surah Ash-Shuara through Surah Ya-Seen (11 Surah)
Dedication of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to the guidance of mankind.
The assignment of Musa as a Rasool and his dialogue with Fir'on. The miracles of the Prophet Musa.
Fir'on took the Prophet Musa's miracles as magic and summoned the magicians to compete with him. After witnessing a miracle, all the magicians embraced Islam.
Deliverance of the Children of Israel and the destruction of Fir'on and his chiefs.
The story of the Prophet Ibrahim and his arguments against idol worshipping. The prayer of the Prophet Ibrahim for this life and the life of hereafter. The mushrikin and their gods both will be toppled into hell.
The story of the Prophet Nuh, his dialogue with his people, and the destruction of the disbelievers.
The story of the Prophet Hud, his address to his people, and the destruction of disbelievers.

The story of the Prophet Lut, his address to his people, and the destruction of disbelievers.
The story of the Prophet Shuaib, his address to his people, and the destruction of disbelievers.
The Qur'an is revealed in plain Arabic by Allah through angel Gabriel; those people who do not want to believe will not believe. The Qur'an is not brought down by Shaitans: it is neither in their interest nor in their power. Shaitans descend on slandering sinners, who listen to hearsay and are liars.
The Qur'an is a Guide and Good News to the Believers. The story of the Prophet Musa's selection as a Rasool. Nine signs were shown to Fir'on but he still disbelieved and incurred Allah's punishment.
The story of the Prophet Sulaiman, to whom Allah gave rule over Jinns, men, birds and winds. The hoopoe brought him the news about the Queen of Sheba. Letter from King Sulaiman to the Queen of Sheba.
Communications between the Queen of Sheba and Sulaiman. A man who had the 'Knowledge of the Book' brought the Throne of the Queen to king Sulaiman in twinkling of an eye. Queen of Sheba and her people embraced Islam.
Prophet Saleh and his address to his people. His people plotted to kill him, but Allah saved him and destroyed the disbelievers. The Prophet Lut admonished his people but they paid no heed so they faced the scourge of Allah.
Praise to Allah and peace be on His Rasools. Just think, is there any god besides Allah Who has created anything in the universe, answers the oppressed or guides to the Right Way?
The disbelievers doubt Allah's power of creation. The Qur'an clarifies those matters in which the Israelites differ. A sign from the signs of Doomsday.
Do not deny Allah's revelations without gaining their comprehensive knowledge. A scene from the Doomsday. Those who accept guidance do so to their own good and those who go astray do so to their own peril.
Story of the Prophet Musa. Fir'on plotted to kill the sons of the Israelites to save his kingship, while Allah planned to bring up one of them in Fir'on's own household.
The Prophet Musa's youth, his folly of killing a man, and his escape from Fir'on's retribution.
His arrival at Madyan, acceptance of a ten year term of employment, and marriage.

Information about the destruction of prior generations is given to teach a lesson.
Righteous Jews and Christians can recognize the truth of the Qur'an and feel that they were Muslims even before hearing it. Prophets cannot give guidance; it is Allah who gives guidance.
On the Day of Judgement, the disbelievers will wish that they had accepted Guidance. Allah has not allowed the mushrikin to assign His powers to whomever they want.
Story of Qarun, the rich man, who was from the people of Musa but he rebelled against the guidance of Allah.
Ruku 342 [28 Qasas 83-88]
Revelation of the Qur'an is the mercy of Allah, let no one turn you away from it.
Allah tests the believers to see, who is truthful and who is a liar? Be kind to your parents but do not obey them in the matter of shirk. Those who say, "Follow us, we will bear your burden", are liars.
Nuh admonished his people for 950 years not to commit shirk. Likewise, Ibrahim admonished his people not to commit shirk.
The people of Ibrahim even tried to burn him alive but Allah saved him. Ibrahim’s nephew Lut was the only one who affirmed his belief with him. The Prophet Lut was appointed as a Rasool towards the nation of homosexuals.
They rejected Allah's guidance; as a result, Allah destroyed them all. Likewise the Nations of 'Ad, Thamud, Madyan and Fir'on rejected the Rasools of Allah, which resulted in their destruction.
Salah keeps one away from shameful deeds. Do not argue with the People of the Book except in good taste.
Those who believe in falsehood and disbelieve Allah shall be the losers. How many creatures are there who do not carry their provisions with them? Allah provides them as He provides you.
​The life of this world is nothing but pastime, the real life is the life hereafter. Those who strive in Our cause, We do guide them to Our Way.
The Roman's (Christians') defeat at the hands of the Persian (Pagans) was taken as a sign of the Muslims' defeat at the hands of Arab unbelievers, so Allah gave good tidings for the Roman victory as well as the Muslim victory in a few years.
It is Allah Who originates creation and then repeats it and to Him everyone will be brought for the final Judgement.
​The creation of man, his consort, heavens, earth, language, colours, sleep, quest for work, lightning, rain and growth of vegetation - all are signs of Allah.
The wrongdoers are led by their own desires without real knowledge. True faith and the nature of sects. When an affliction befalls people they call upon Allah, but when He relieves them, lo! They start committing shirk. Commandment to give one’s relatives their due and likewise to the poor and the travellers in need.
Mischief in the land is the result of Man's own misdeeds. That is how Allah let them taste the fruit of their deeds. Allah sent His Rasools for the guidance of people; some believed while others rejected, Allah subjected the guilty to His retribution and helped the Believers.
O Prophet, you cannot make the dead to hear you. It is Allah Who has created you and shall bring you to justice on the Day of Judgement.
The Qur'an is the Book of Wisdom, a Guide and a Blessing for the Righteous.
Luqman advised his son not to commit Shirk. Rights of the mother and parents. Obey your parents but not in the matters of Shirk. Advice of Luqman about moral behaviour and interaction.
Main reason for misguidance is the blind following of one's forefathers. Mushrikin admit that Allah is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. If all the trees were pens and the oceans were ink, the writing of Allah's words could not be exhausted. Allah is the only reality, all others to whom people invoke besides Him are false.
O mankind, fear that Day when no father shall avail his son nor a son his father. Let not the Shaitan deceive you concerning this fact.
The Qur'an in which there is no doubt, is revealed by Allah to Muhammad, so that he may warn those people to whom no Warner has come before.
On the Day of Judgement, the unbelievers shall believe but that belief will be of no benefit to them. There is a special reward for those who forsake their beds and invoke their Rabb with fear and hope and spend in charity.
The Qur'an is similar to the Book which was given to the Prophet Musa.
Fear Allah and do not obey the unbelievers and hypocrites. By word of mouth neither your wives become your mothers nor adopted sons become your real sons. The Prophet's wives are the believers' mothers. Blood relations have greater claims than others in the Book of Allah.
Favors of Allah during the battle of Trench. The attitude of the Hypocrites during the battle of Trench. Those who discourage others from participating in the fight against the unbelievers and don't participate in such a war themselves have no faith and all their deeds will be null and void.
The Life of Rasool Allah (Muhammad) is the best Model for you. Allah helped the Muslims gain victory over the unbelievers and the Jewish tribes in Madinah and Khyber.
Admonition to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Allah's commandment to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad.
It is not fitting for believers to have option in what has been decided by Allah and His Rasool. Allah commanded the Prophet Muhammad to marry the divorced wife of his adopted son. Muhammad is not the father of any of your men but a Rasool and Seal of the Prophethood.
The Prophet is sent as a bearer of good news, as a Warner and as a lamp spreading light. Divorce when no Iddat (waiting period for remarriage) is required. Special permission for the Prophet Muhammad to marry more than four wives. Restriction on the Prophet to marry or exchange the present wives after this commandment.
Do not enter the houses of the Prophet without permission, and if invited, do not seek long conversation. Do not marry the Rasool's wives after his death. Allah Himself and His angels send blessings on the Prophet, O believers do the same.
Commandment of Hijab (dress code) for women. Punishment for the Hypocrites and scandal mongers the unbelievers shall ask double punishment for their leaders.
O believers! Fear Allah and always say the right thing. The heavens, earth and mountains refuse to take the Trust (freedom of choice) but man took it.
The Hour is surely going to come and Judgement shall be established to reward the believers and punish those who discredit Allah's revelations. Those who do not believe in the hereafter are doomed.
The mountains and birds used to sing Allah's praise with the Prophet Dawood. Allah subjected the winds and Jinns to the Prophet Sulaiman. Claim of people that Jinns know the unseen is wrong. The people of Saba rejected Allah's blessings and disbelieved in the hereafter, so Allah made them merely a tale of the past.
No intercession before Allah can avail anyone except for whom He permits it. The Prophet Muhammad is sent for the entire mankind.
​Those who disbelieve in the Qur'an and prior scriptures, will have yokes placed around their necks before being tossed into hell. Wealth and children are not the indications of Allah's pleasure.
It is belief that brings you close to Allah, not the wealth or children. Whatever you spend in charity, Allah will pay you back. Unbeliever's statements about the Prophet and Al-Qur'an.
The unbelievers are asked to ponder upon their wrong statements. The truth has come, falsehood neither originates nor restores anything. On the Day of Judgement, the unbelievers will want to believe but it will be of no avail to them.
None can withhold or award blessings besides Allah. Shaitan is your enemy: so, take him as such.
That person who considers his evil deeds to be good, cannot be guided to the Right Path. Let all those who are seeking honour know that real honour is in the obedience of Allah. Allah has created water, day, night, the sun and moon for man's benefit. Deities besides Allah can neither hear, nor response nor yet own even a thread of a date-stone.
Mankind is in need of Allah, while He is not in need of anyone. The living and the dead are not alike. You cannot make those who are buried in the grave hear you.
Those who recite the Qur'an, establish Salah and give charity may hope for Allah's blessings and rewards. Those who disbelieve, shall have a painful punishment in the hellfire forever.
Allah has not sent any Book which has a provision of Shirk (worshipping anyone else besides Allah) Plotting evil recoils none but the author of it. If Allah was to punish people for their wrong doings, He would have not left even an animal around them.
The Qur'an is revealed by Allah to warn people. The Prophet is told that he could warn only those who have the fear of Allah.
The example of three Prophets who were sent to one town; all the people denied them except one man who came from across the town. Allah blessed the believer with paradise and destroyed the disbelievers.
Allah has created all things in pairs. The day, night, sun and moon; all are being regulated by Allah. The disbelievers' attitude towards spending in the way of Allah.
A scene from the Day of Judgement. Allah's greeting to the residents of paradise. Allah's address to the criminal sinners. On the Day of Judgement, the hands and feet of the wrongdoers shall testify.
The Qur'an is to warn those who are alive and establish charge against the disbelievers. Allah, Who has created man, shall give him life again for accountability on the Day of Judgement.
