The Story of Yusuf (P/B)

Surah al Fatiha is the greatest chapter of the Qur’an, its like is not found in the  rest of the Book or in the previous scriptures. It is a

Light that was granted to Prophet Muhammad (S) which had not been granted  to any other Prophet or Messenger before him; indeed

some of the  Salaf stated that when this chapter was revealed, Shaytãn l let out a great cry of lament.

It holds a central position in the daily Prayer hence the daily life of the Muslim.

The underlying theme, of al-Fatiha  is one of contemplation and serenity; pondering the Names and Attributes of Allah, pondering the creation , and acknowledging that He Alone deserves praise and Worship, that He Alone should be asked for help, that He Alone Should be feared and hoped in, that He Alone should be invoked, that there  is indeed a Day of Judgment, and that guidance has come to us and we are required to follow it.

It calls us to carefully scrutinise our  relationship with our Lord: are we living according to the dictates of  ‘none has the right to be worshipped save of Allah’ or not? This opening chapter, despite its brevity, calls man to fulfil the rights of Tawhid, the right that Allah has over us to worship Him Alone without any partner

A Summary of numerous Classical Commentaries of the Qur’an

at-Tabari, al-Baghawi, Az-Zamakhshari, ibn Atityyah, Ibn Jawzi, Al-Qurtubi, Ibn Qayyim, Ibn Kathir, as-Suyuti, Alusi, ash-Shawkani, as-Sa’di, ash-Shaqiti and many Others

The following is an explanation of some verses from the Mighty Book of Allāh. I wrote it because, while reciting the Noble Qur’ān, I pass by some verses and some of the treasures therein come to mind; thus, I wanted to illustrate those treasures. This goal was achieved—and all praises belong to Allāh—with the writing of this book; and while editing the book, I thought to write concerning some other verses as well.

This book contains speech on verses from chapters in the Qur’ān—all of the suwar which appear before al-Mufaṣṣal. Most of the verses cover one topic in that particular sūrah, and sometimes more than one topic is discussed in that sūrāh. As for al-Mufaṣṣal—which begins with Sūrah Qāf—the topics cover a range of 15 various subjects. I derived benefit in what I wrote from the books of tafsīr by Ibn Jarīr, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr, ash-Shawkānī, and ash-Shinqīṭī (may Allāh have mercy upon them).
