INTRODUCTION
SUPPLICATION FOR GUIDANCE

‫ "اللهم إني أسألك‬:‫أن النبي صلى هللا عليه وسلم كان يقول‬
"‫الهدى والتقى والعفاف والغنى‬
'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased
with him) reported that the Prophet ( ‫صلى هللا عليه‬
‫ )وسلم‬used to say: "Allahumma inni as'alukal-huda
wat- tuqa wal-'afafa wal-ghina (O Allah! I ask
You for guidance, piety, chastity and self-
sufficiency)".1

SURAH AT TAHREEM 8
َ ْ َ ُ َ َ َ َّ َ َ ْ ْ َ َ َ ُ َ َ ْ ْ َ َ َّ َ
‫ربنا أت ِمم لنا نورنا واغ ِفرلنا ۖ ِإنك على ك ِل ش يء ق ِدير‬
"Our Lord! Keep perfect our Light for us [and do
not put it off till we cross over the Sirat (a slippery
bridge over the Hell) safely] and grant us
forgiveness. Verily, You are Able to do all things."
o We want to make decisions based on furqan –
criterion. We want to distinguish between what
is good and bad.

SURAH AL FURQAN
BACKROUND OF THE SURAH
o Before Surah Al Furqan is Surah An Noor which
is a Medinan surah. There are many rulings so
there may be light and guidance. And this is to
make society glow. Then comes Surah Al
Furqan in order to have criterion in the
guidance.

3
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o After Surah Al Furqan is Surah Ash Shu’ara such

that one now has deep and various feelings,
and he can express based on wisdom and
criterion.
o Surah Al Furqan is a Makkan surah, it was
revealed in a time when the disbelievers
denied the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬, such that they denied

that he should walk in the markets and eat

food, subhan Allah.
o The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬is nurtured in order to warn

people, but then with all this denial, Allah (‫)ﷻ‬

grants console to the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬. He tells him

that they not only deny him, but they deny Ar

Rahman – The Most Merciful Himself.
o We find situations intertwined in Surah Al
Furqan in order to be able to attain furqan and
criterion.

4
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o And the surah concludes with Ibad Ar Rahman

Who benefit from the nurturing of the Most
Merciful. And when we are slaves to The Most
Merciful then we will have criterion and furqan.

o
َ ََ
The word (‫ )تبا َرك‬is mentioned three times in

Surah Al Furqan. The blessing of the Qur’an is

when it comes in parts. The Qur’an itself is Al
Furqan and every ayah is “furqan” – criterion to
distinguish between matters.
o The prerequisite to attain furqan is to be a slave
of Allah, just as Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬praises the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬
َْ
that he is His slave (‫)عب ِد ِه‬.

o The job of the Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬is to warn the

whole world and this is not easy, but requires

criterion. And the criterion is to be a slave of
Allah (‫)ﷻ‬.

o Ayat 2 tells us about Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬and that

everything belongs to Him.

o Everyone is a slave to Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬and he will show

his obedience by submitting or being unable to

escape from the decree which he cannot
push away. Thus Allah is The Owner of the
heavens and the earth.
o He needs no help from anyone; He is alone.
There are many decrees that take place in

SUMMARY OF AYAH 2: EVERYTHING

BELONGS TO ALLAH AND HE NEEDS NO ONE
TO BE WITH HIM. WE ARE ALL SLAVES TO
HIM, WHETHER WE SUBMIT WILLINGLY OR
UNWILLINGLY

o Ayah 3 tells us about the disbelievers who do

not appreciate the Oneness and Might of Allah
(‫)ﷻ‬.

o Furqan is to go through opposite situations

without causing any problems or issues.
o They take idols below Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬and give them

all their feelings. They do not take one, but

many idols and give their heart to many. They
are “gods” not “nurturers” – they give their
feelings to those who have no power or actions
to do things.

9
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o These false gods cannot create anything and

do not own harm or benefitting themselves;
they do not own life, death or resurrection.

SUMMARY OF AYAH 3: FALSE IDOLS DO NOT

OWN ANYTHING – NOT LIFE, DEATH OR
RESURRECTION

o These are all great criterions. It is great criterion

to have the Qur’an, to know Allah (‫)ﷻ‬, the role

of the messenger and the powerlessness of

those who do not own.

MAY ALLAH GRANT US FURQAN. AMEEN.

SURAH AL FURQAN
o Previously we mentioned from ayat 1 to 3
which are about those who accuse
powerlessness to Allah (‫)ﷻ‬, astaghfar Allah,

Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬shows furqan by telling us of the

lacking qualification of the idols and gods they

turn to. Thus through this furqan, a person will
distinguish between the weakness of the idols
and the might of Allah (‫)ﷻ‬.

Say, [O Muhammad (‫])ﷺ‬, "It has been revealed
by He who knows [every] secret within the

12
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever

Forgiving and Merciful."

o Now, we will continue to see more furqan –

distinguishment – through the disrespecting
speech of the disbelievers towards the Prophet
(‫)ﷺ‬.

o Let us look at the speech of the disbelievers,

and the furqan which Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬sets with each

accusation.
o The disbelievers first say to the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬:
ْ َ ْ َ َ ُ َ َ َ َ ُ َ َ ْ ْ َّ َ َ ْ ُ َ َ َ َّ َ َ َ
( ‫وقال ال ِذين كفروا ِإن هـذا ِإّل ِإفك افتراه وأعانه علي ِه قوم‬

َ ‫َ ُو‬
‫)آخر ن‬ (And those who disbelieve say, "This

[Qur'an] is not except a falsehood he invented,

and another people assisted him in it.").
Anyone who disbelieves in Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬will

13
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

disbelieve in the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬, so we should not

be shocked when they show this type of harm.

o They accuse the Qur’an of being fabricated,
thus accusing the truthfulness of the Prophet
(‫)ﷺ‬, astaghfar Allah. The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬is known

to all from before that he is As Sadiq Al ‘Ameen

– honest and trustworthy – so how can they say
this now?
o The reality is those who do not believe will
fabricate and make-up things.
o Furqan: let us see what is the furqan mentioned
by Allah (‫ ?)ﷻ‬What do we say to being
ْ ََ
accused of fabricating? Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬says: ( ‫فقد‬

ً‫) َج ُاءوا ُظ ْل ًما َو ُزورا‬ (But they have committed an

injustice and a lie) – do not take in what they

say. They way of disbelievers is to put down the

14
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

one on the truth, by putting down the self, so a

person is broken. But to say what they are
saying is an injustice and a lie is furqan.

SUMMARY OF AYAH 4: WHEN BEING

ACCUSED OF LYING, THE CRITERION IS TO
SAY WHAT IS BEING SAID IS UNJUST AND A
LIE.

o In ayah 5, a liar wants to make his false words

appear detailed and sophisticated, so it
cannot be accused of being a lie.
o Now, they further accuse the Qur’an of being
tales of legends and the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬has had it

written and compiled, though the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬

َ َ َ َ ْ َ َّ َ ْ ُ َ َ ُ َ َ
cannot read or write (‫اطير اْلو ِلين اكتتبها‬ِ ‫)وقالوا أس‬
(And they say, "Legends of the former peoples
which he has written down,)

15
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o They also accuse these stories are being

dictated to him in the morning and night, as if
he is absorbed in them because he recites the
ْ ََ َْ ُ
Qur’an day and night, subhan Allah. ( ‫تملى علي ِه‬

ً ََ ًَ ْ ُ
‫( )بكرة وأ ِصيل‬and they are dictated to him
morning and afternoon.").

SUMMARY OF AYAH 5: THOSE WHO MAKE

UP LIES WILL TRY TO ADD SPECIFIC
DETAILS TO THEIR LIES TO MAKE IT APPEAR
AS TRUTH

o In ayah 6, we find the furqan response of Allah

(‫ )ﷻ‬to the accusation made in ayah 5. The

disbelievers accuse the Qur’an of being

legends and being dictated to the Prophet
(‫)ﷺ‬.

16
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o The furqan here is the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬must talk

back and answer them, unlike before. What

does he need to say?
َ َ ُ َّ ْ َ ْ َ َ َ َّ َّ ُ َ ْ َ َّ ُ َ َ َ ْ ُ
o ( ‫ض ۚ ِإنه كان‬ ِ ‫ات واْلر‬ ِ ‫السر ِفي السماو‬
ِ ‫قل أنزله ال ِذي يعلم‬
ً ‫( ) َغ ُف‬Say, [O Muhammad (‫])ﷺ‬, "It has
ً‫ورا َّر ِحيما‬

been revealed by He who knows [every] secret

within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He
is ever Forgiving and Merciful.")
o Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬wants to guide all and he wants the

Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬to show mercy. The Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬

does not need to be in a defensive mode, but

to elevate them and tell them that Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬is

The Most Forgiving, Especially Merciful, subhan

Allah.

17
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬is to say that the Qur’an is

revealed by the One Who knows all secrets in

the heavens and earth. They are fabricating
and Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬says He knows their secrets and

why they do this. When we know Allah (‫)ﷻ‬

knows our secrets then it leads us to change

our illicit ways.
o After this warning, Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬tells us that if we

return in repentance, Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬forgives and

shows special mercy.

o With their denial of Allah (‫)ﷻ‬, the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬

and the Qur’an – Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬did not invite them

to the fire, but to repentance and mercy, and

this is the furqan. This shows us how Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬is

The Most Merciful, subhan Allah.

Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬, but personally mock him, subhan

Allah.

ِ ‫)وقالوا م ِال هـذا الرسو ِل يأكل الطعام ويم ِش ي ِفي اْلسو‬
(ۙ ‫اق‬

(And they say, "What is this messenger that eats

food and walks in the markets?): They lowingly
think a messenger should not eat food or walk
in the markets, subhan Allah. They think these
are human qualities that take him down as a
messenger; as if he has to be an “angel.”
o The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬eats and walks in the market

to show he is human, but this does not negate

being a messenger or a slave of Allah (‫)ﷻ‬.

o There are those who think that people of

religion do not eat or go to the markets, as if it
is lacking piety, subhan Allah, though this is not
the case. The example of the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬is

someone who eats and walks in the market

22
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

and he is the best messenger, worshipper and

da’ee.
o Furqan is one who is able to do everything that
is halal and stay away from haram, and has
boundaries. For example, one says the dua
before entering the marketplace and so forth.
ً َ ُ َ َ ‫َ ْ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ َ َ َ ُ َن‬
o (‫نزل ِإلي ِه ملك فيكو معه ن ِذيرا‬ِ ‫( )لوّل أ‬Why was there
not sent down to him an angel so he would be
with him a warner?): and they think the Prophet
(‫ )ﷺ‬should have an angel to be with him while

eating and going to the market so that he

warns the people, subhan Allah. As if to say,
“an angel” that does not eat or go in the
markets is the one who should warn. Their
furqan is separation or that a warner is
someone not humanly, does not eat or walk in
the market.

23
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o However, the real furqan is not about making

separation, but that one has all the qualities –
eat, walk in the marketplace and warn.
o The religion is not extreme such that if someone
is a worshipper then he can only be a
worshipper. Rather, one can be everything.

SUMMARY OF AYAH 7: FURQAN IS NOT

ABOUT LOSING ONE’S HUMANITY WHEN
FOLLOWING THE DEEN

َ ْ ُ ُ ْ َ َّ َ ُ َ ُ ُ َ ْ َ َ ْ َ َ ْ ُ ْ َ
o (ۚ ‫( )أو يلقى ِإلي ِه كنز أو تكون له جنة يأكل ِمنها‬Or [why is

not] a treasure presented to him [from

heaven], or does he [not] have a garden from
which he eats?"): In ayah 8, they mock his
financial status that he should just be sitting in
one place and money comes to him. They
expect him to be rich without working and

24
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

treasures come to him. The messengers work

and earn; they do not receive money from the
people.
o Or they say the Messenger needs to have a
garden so that he eats from it. The Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬

does not have this and this does not make him
any less.
o So we see they expect the worldly life needs to
be readily set up for him and that he does not
work.
o Going to the market is also dawah when
seeing others, showing good behavior and so
forth.
ً ُ ْ َّ ً ُ َ َّ َ ُ َّ َ َ ُ َّ َ َ َ
o (‫اَلون ِإن تت ِبعون ِإّل رجل مسحورا‬
ِ ‫)وقال الظ‬ (And the

wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man

َ ُ َّ
affected by magic."): they are (‫اَلون‬
ِ ‫ – )الظ‬those

25
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

who are unjust who place things in the wrong

place by saying a messenger is not human.
o Then they further say the messenger is
bewitched and under the control of jinn.
o They know the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬is sane, speaks the

best, is generous, kind and good. However,

they want to put him down by accusing him of
being bewitched and under the effect.

SUMMARY OF AYAH 8: THE WRONGDOERS

WILL SPEAK WITH CONTRADICTIONS

o In ayah 9, we find the furqan after being

accused of not being human and being
bewitched, subhan Allah.
ً َ َ ُ َ ْ َ َ َ ُّ َ َ َ َ ْ َ ْ َ َ ُ َ َ َ ْ َ ْ ُ

(Look how they strike for you comparisons; but

they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a

26
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

way.): Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬tells the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬to face it,

“look at how they give such examples”, look

how at how ridiculous are their examples, so
take it lightly.
ُّ َ َ
o They are (‫ – )فضلوا‬totally misguided – so they

cannot find a straight way or straight example

to say. They speak foolishly with no furqan.

SUMMARY OF AYAH 9: FURQAN IS TO FACE

THE MATTER AND LOOK AT THE
FOOLISHNESS OF THEIR SPEECH, SO DO
NOT GET AFFECTED

o In conclusion, such decrees and examples

build up a person to become Ibad Ar Rahman
with furqan.

“how could a prophet work and not have
riches or garden?”, thus attacking the simple
life of the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬. However, Allah (‫)ﷻ‬

answers them and says, “Blessed [is Allah]”.

o The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬should never think Allah (‫)ﷻ‬

does not want to give him; He can give him

better, but we must know Blessed is Allah – His
blessing and goodness are great. And the
greatest blessing upon the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬is that

31
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

he is a messenger, the Qur’an is revealed on

him and he calls mankind and jinn to Islam.
o If it is good for him to have these worldly
matters, then He will give him. Allah is The
Owner of Blessing and He can place blessing in
whatever He wills.
o Had Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬willed, He would not only give the

Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬gardens, but gardens with rivers

flowing underneath and this is the description

of the gardens of paradise. And He could give
him palaces like none other seen on this earth.
o But this duniya is a test, if it wasn’t a test, then
those who are good will have the best of the
duniya and those who are evil will have the
worst of the duniya, but this is not the case. The
duniya is a test – for some, their test is richness
and for some it is poverty, for some their test is

32
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

health and for some it is sickness. For some their

test is strength and for some it is weakness.
o Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬wants the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬to be strong

and a role model. The duniya is a test to be

pious and accept the decree of Allah (‫– )ﷻ‬

grateful if given and patient if not.

SUMMARY OF AYAH 10: THE FURQAN IS

THIS LIFE IS A TEST AND NOT THE PLACE
OF RESULTS. BE GRATEFUL WHEN GIVEN
AND PATIENT WHEN NOT

o If someone is constantly making fun of

someone and does not cease, then surely
there must be an inner-issue, what is it?
َ َّ ُ َّ َ ْ َ
o (ۖ ‫)بل كذبوا ِبالساع ِة‬ (But they have denied the

Hour,): they disbelieve in the Judgement Day,

thus anyone who disbelieves in the Last Day will
be reflected outwardly with bad behavior. The

33
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

one who believes in the Last Day will have

good behavior. That is why anyone who
believes in Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬and the Last Day then let

him say good or remain silent and honor his

guest and neighbors.
o Thus we should increase in faith in the Last Day
and this comes with knowing its details. We
need to live in the future before the future
comes. Believing in the Last Day leads to
performing good deeds and having good
manners with others.
o Next we find the punishment of those who
disbelieved in the Last Day.

34
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

which means flaming fire and they deserve this

kind of flame for flaming the hearts of people.
o The punishment of the hellfire is in line with the
way the disbelievers acted. May Allah free us
from the hellfire and never make us among
those who cause flames in the hearts of
people. Ameen.

the Hellfire sees them from a distant place, they

will hear its fury and roaring.): the fire can spot
the disbeliever from a distance and they will
hear its fury and roaring. The fire is angry with
them such that it exhales with a loud, furious
sound.
o And this punishment is in line with what they
did; they were aggressive and showed great
fury towards the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬.

SUMMARY OF AYAH 12: FURQAN IS THAT

RECOMPENSE IS LINE WITH THE DEED

o In conclusion, belief in the Last Day is a great

driver in reforming us for the better, and
disbelief in the Last Day drives a person to
lowliness.

truth and to follow it and see falsehood as

o We have this life to benefit from the truth and
furqan, but when life passes, the reality will be

SURAH AL FURQAN
o Previously, we mentioned the recompense in
the Last Day – for both the dwellers of the fire
and paradise. Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬sets up the image of

those in the fire, in a tight place, due to their

tightness in this life and tightening on others,
and there is vastness in paradise for those who
held back their desires in this life.

this causes furqan, distinction and separation

And they say, "What is this messenger that eats

food and walks in the markets? Why was there
not sent down to him an angel so he would be
with him a warner?
o Furqan is not to separate from the people – we
have to be with people, we have to eat and
go to the market.
o Notice the answer does not immediately
appear after ayah 7, but after mentioning the
status of the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬and the Judgement

Day, then comes the answer. So furqan is not

about immediately answering.

things with more insight, we must be with

people. The messenger is with people, he has
needs, he gets hungry and eats, he goes to the
markets, so he knows what the people go
through. He is relatable.
o The messengers are good examples for
people; they are not idols or icons who just set
an image.
o When the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬eats and goes to the

market, it is all to be a good example. The

messengers teach people through their ways
and to show they are not just one set picture,
but they change.
o The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬always changed his look,

food, slippers and so forth.

about someone or puts another down, then it
shows there is nurturing going on between
them. They are a trial for one another.
o The messengers are a trial for the people and
the people are a trial for the messengers, but in
general, this can happen with opposites.
o It is important to not indulge in the trial, but
have furqan and the furqan is to know that
Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬makes us tests for one another, so we

need to be patient.
o The rich is a test for the poor, the healthy is a
test for the sick, the intelligent is a test for the
ignorant; we do not want to transgress when
we meet with opposites. We need to hold
ourselves from being arrogant, jealous or

oppressive. But if we are patient, we will be

greatly rewarded.

Allah is The All-Seer to see what we go through.
He sees if we are accepting or not; He knows
what we feel and what we intend.
o Thus we will be benefit from a situation when
we know this. People are tests for us, with their
attitude, behavior, and even nature – but we
should be patient and not have expectations
from them.

INTRODUCTION
o We ask Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬to protect us from all trials –

apparent and hidden. Trials and furqan cannot

go together. People are a test for one another.
o The messengers are tests for the people due to
their natures and who they are, and the
people are a test for the messengers due to
being rejected by them.
o Though we ask Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬to make the people

around us to be a coolness of eyes.

SURAH AL FURQAN
o Furqan is when we believe in the unseen. And
now the disbelievers want to bring angels in the
picture, though they have already rejected
the messengers, subhan Allah.
o They will ask for something, and not because
they want to verify the truth or to increase in
faith. They are simply asking due to their
increased stubbornness and arrogance.

"A man is upon the religion of his friend, so let

one of you look at whom he befriends."6
o If we have someone we love, we will do the
same like them without thinking.
o Though this person chose to accompany a
bad companion who disbelieved in Allah (‫)ﷻ‬.

A friend has a great influence on us; if they are

grateful we will be grateful; if they believe, we
will be believe and if they disbelieve, we will
disbelieve.
o A friend can help us to follow the Prophet (‫;)ﷺ‬

he will not distract us from following the

Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬and that is furqan.

o It does not mean we do not take friends and

only follow the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬. Rather we take a

friend who helps us in tawheed and following

makes us sincere in our worships.

o We find the importance of taking good friends

Merciful who supplicate to Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬for good

the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬, so if they look down upon him,

they will surely look down on anything he

brings.
o Look at the dignified manner of the Prophet
(‫ )ﷺ‬without even saying, “my people did not

listen to me”, but said, “my people left the

Qur’an”, subhan Allah. It truly shows
selflessness.
o For him is not about not being followed, but he
has great feelings towards Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬and His

Words. It is not about what people did to us, or

taking revenge from the people, but our
feelings need to be for the religion of Allah (‫)ﷻ‬

Different forms of abandoning the Qur’an:

1. Leaving the recitation of the Qur’an and not

support for the messengers in order to have

more clarity and confidence. The actions of
Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬become more apparent when there

are enemies and how He deals with the

messengers and enemies. But what does the

o The Qur’an is the Word of Allah, revealed on

situations and this is a reason for furqan –
criterion. And then it will be a warning so that

and mockery are a result of worshipping their

Ameen.
o To control desires requires:
1. A mind: to control it from indulging in
desires
2. The scale of legislation which is the

astray in [their] way.): But Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬says they

cattle follow a shepherd, but they do not follow
the messenger.
o These ayat are console to the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬to

show that he cannot guide all people because

there are those who are under the control of

cattle.

AYAT 45 TO 47 – GENTLE AND SUBTLE
ACTIONS IN THE UNIVERSE

o We ask Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬to make us see truth as truth

and to follow it and to see falsehood as

falsehood and to stay away from it.
o Surah Al Furqan teaches us to be a slave who
does not follow one’s desires. A person stops

displeasing to Allah (‫)ﷻ‬, even if it is something

bothering him inside.

125
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o When looking at the universe, a person can

also find furqan, even with small details. But the
one who follows desires cannot even see the
furqan with great actions.

and these ayat are specifically nurturing for the
Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬.
َ َ َ َ َ ْ ََ
o (‫)ألم تر ِإلى رِبك‬ (Have you not considered your

Lord -): do you not see O Mohammed (‫ )ﷺ‬with

the eyes of your heart and with the eyes of

faith, the actions of your Rabb? Thus these
actions are all nurturing for you. What should he
consider?
َّ(‫الظل‬ َ َْ

look at how your Lord extends the shadow so a

person does not feel the heat of the sun. And
similarly, in tranquil, beautiful times like the fajr
before the sunrise and after the sunset. These
are quiet moments which everyone needs.

127
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o And this action of stretching the shadow is the

action of Allah (‫)ﷻ‬, but it will not always remain

like this.
ً َ ُ ََ َ َ َ َ ْ ََ
o (‫اكنا‬
ِ ‫( )ولو شاء لجعله س‬and if He willed, He could
have made it stationary?): had Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬willed,

the shadow would be still so it is always there,

but there is the sun, there are challenges, trials
and heat. And this is from the way of Allah. The
test of truthfulness appears with opposites,
even if there is “sun”, we must always seek the
shade – the shade of faith, tawheed and
obedience.
ً َ ْ َ َ َ ْ َّ َ ْ َ َ َّ ُ
o (‫)ثم جعلنا الشمس علي ِه د ِليل‬ (Then We made the

sun for it an indication.): when the sun starts to

move, then the shadow extends or reduces.
Thus the nurturing of Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬is constant and

128
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

variable. And with opposites we appreciate

the shade when there is sun.
o The sun is evidence of the shadow, and
similarly with trying tests, the shadow of faith
appears.
ً َ ً ْ َ َ ْ َ ُ َ ْ َ َ َّ ُ
o (‫)ثم قبضناه ِإلينا قبضا ي ِسيرا‬ (Then We hold it in

hand for a brief grasp.): as the sun reaches a

peak, the shadow will be withheld and
become less briefly. It does not go from one
extreme of complete shadow to no shadow,
but it is gradual. And this is the action of Allah
(‫ )ﷻ‬indicating He is in control.

there is no evil, we will not know good.

o (‫( )وهوال ِذي جعل لكم الليل ِلباسا‬And it is He who has

made the night for you as clothing): Allah (‫)ﷻ‬

made the night, a time of darkness, to cover

us, just like garments. So the night time is a time
to rest. And similarly, when there is a “night
phase” in our life, we should take it as rest, and
just cover.
ً َ ُ َ ْ َّ َ
o (‫( )والنوم سباتا‬and sleep [a means for] rest): and

sleep is to cut-off from work and rest. And

similarly, in times of stress, we need to eat, drink
and look at what brings coolness to our eyes.
ً ُ ُ َ َ َّ َ َ َ َ
o (‫)وجعل النهار نشورا‬ (and has made the day a

resurrection.): however, when the day is

go forward, and this is similar to the
resurrection.

wind.
o Before Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬drives a great blessing to us, He

sends “wind” – glad tidings – as preparation to

receive this great blessing. We ask Allah of His
favor.
o The wind is a sign before the rain which makes
people happy and anticipating the bountiful

o If there is no wind then there is no rain, and so
when there is wind, it motivates us and excites

o Similarly, the clouds are heavy, but it needs

wind to relieve them. Sometimes we can have

o This is a complete cycle of feelings before
beautiful things arrive. Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ sends

o And similarly, the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬is just a

messenger like the wind, but it is Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬Who

conveys, but everything is in the Hands of Allah

INTRODUCTION
o We ask Allah Al ‘Afuw to pardon us and from
His pardoning we have a complete dua to
invoke Him in the last ten nights – O Allah You
are All-Pardoning, you love pardoning, so
pardon us.

SURAH AL FURQAN
AYAT 51 TO 52 – ONE MESSENGER ONE

o Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬brings the rain down and He

distributes it accordingly. And similarly, the

Qur’an is revealed in parts but the Messenger

(‫ )ﷺ‬is one.

o (‫)ولو ِشئنا لبعثنا ِفي ك ِل قرية ن ِذيرا‬ (And if We had

willed, We could have sent into every city a

warner.): Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬is able to send a different

warner to every land, but that is not furqan.

Furqan is one messenger and warner to all the
worlds – to mankind and jinn. He is not sent for
only Arabs, but for all people. He is to unite all,
though they are different.

Furqan is to have the Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬sent to all,

but not to follow the desires of people, but the

revelation of Allah (‫)ﷻ‬.

INTRODUCTION
o We can truly see how the Qur’an is more

great amount of purification before going to

they are obedient. Unlike looking at people’s

SURAH AL FURQAN
AYAT 53 TO 54 – BARRIER BETWEEN

o The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬is sent by Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬as mercy for

all the worlds. He will face different types of

people, but must struggle with them with the
Qur’an. And now we will find beautiful actions
of Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬to show more of His Oneness.

(And it is He who has released [simultaneously]

the two seas, one fresh and sweet and one
salty and bitter,): there are things in life that
appear the same outwardly, but inside they
are different. There can be water, but only
after being tasted, it can be distinguished as
being sweet or salty. And this is the furqan
which Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬places.

o One is salty and one is sweet and these are

their identities. The sweet water can be for
drinking, but not the salty water. But the salty
water is needed to carry ships in the sea and
for buoyancy.

We see how marriage, in-laws or friendships
can truly change us, as if they “melt” us.

connect with by marriage and even friendship.
He is able to choose who will be our blood
relation and it is His ability of who will be our

o These ayat are all evidence of the Oneness of
Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬and we need to have taqwa in our

relationships whether we look the same

outwardly such as “water” or we are

AYAH 58 – FURQAN THROUGH THE

َ
‫ِع َب ِاد ِه خ ِب ًيرا‬
And rely upon the Ever-Living who does not die,
and exalt [Allah] with His praise. And sufficient is
He to be, with the sins of His servants,
Acquainted -
o We need furqan in order to see more right and
wrong. And by doing so, we find more mercy.
Thus we need furqan in order to have the

155
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

mercy of Allah (‫)ﷻ‬. We think mercy is to only

have what we want, but it is to have furqan.

o Sometimes we attain furqan after going
through difficult decrees and situations, but
here we find the mercy of Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬is to attain

furqan in an easy way, and that is with the

command. Now let us look at three “furqans”
in this ayah:
ُ ُ َ َ َّ َ ْ َ َ ْ َّ َ َ َ
o (1) (‫( )وتوكل على الح ِي ال ِذي ّل يموت‬And rely upon the

Ever-Living who does not die,): here is a great

source of firmness and furqan which is to rely
on Al Hayy – The Ever-Living Who never dies.
The Life of Allah is perfect, but people are weak
and we are weak. So we need to have this
furqan with absolute trust in Allah (‫)ﷻ‬.

156
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o We should not rely on someone who will die

because it will be cut-off, but rely on the Ever-
Living Who never dies.
َ ‫) َو َسب ْح‬
(2) (ۚ ‫ِبح ْم ِد ِه‬ (and exalt [Allah] with His
o
ِ
praise.): a worship that gives us great furqan is
the remembrance of Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬which keeps us

firm. There are many forms of remembrance,

but which one will grant us furqan? Glorifying
Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬and then praising Him. So we

immediately push away the negativity by

glorifying Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬and immediately praise Him

for His perfection.

o Thus the believer remains alive by relying on the
Ever-Living Who never dies and keeps moving
by glorifying and praising Allah (‫)ﷻ‬.

157
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

ً َ َ ُُ َََ
o (3) (‫اد ِه خ ِبيرا‬
ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ‫( )وك‬And sufficient is He
‫ب‬ ‫ع‬ ‫وب‬ ‫ن‬‫ذ‬ ‫ب‬ ‫ه‬ ‫ب‬ ‫ى‬ ‫ف‬
to be, with the sins of His servants, Acquainted):
and finally, we can overthink the sins of people,
but furqan is not to think about it. Rather we
should be sufficed that Allah is Al Khabeer – All-
Aware – of the sins of people.
o He knows the seed of the sin, what led to it,
what happened after falling into it, how to
remedy it. So we do not need to be “expert” in
the sins of people – this is for Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬alone.

o Therefore, one can focus on giving glad tidings

and warning in a balanced way when He relies
on the Ever-Living Who never dies and does not
go deep into the sins of people.

FURQAN OF AYAH 58: FURQAN IS ATTAINED

WITH EASE BY TAKING THE COMMANDS OF
ALLAH

158
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

Reflection on Surah Al-Furqan, Ayah 58

o "And rely upon the Ever-Living who does not
die, and exalt [Allah] with His praise. And
sufficient is He to be, with the sins of His servants,
Acquainted."
o This ayah reminds us of the importance of
placing our complete trust in Allah , Al-Hayy,
the Ever-Living who never dies. Unlike human
beings, whose strength and presence are
temporary, Allah’s power and care are
everlasting. Trusting Him gives us a stable
foundation in a world full of change, weakness,
and loss.
o Why do we need Furqan?
o Furqan is the ability to distinguish between right
and wrong. Without it, we live in confusion,
repeating the same mistakes and falling into

159
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

the same patterns. We seek Allah’s mercy, and

becoming a true servant of Ar-Rahman
requires us to see with clarity. That clarity
comes through Furqan.
o But Furqan doesn’t only come through trial and
error or through suffering. life lessons can teach
us, but that is the longer route. The shortcut is
through the commands of Allah , through
revelation. When we follow His guidance, we
are gifted with clarity without having to burn
through the same painful experiences again
and again.
o Alhamdulillah for this ease.
o Allah, out of His mercy, has already shown us
the way. The Qur’an is the Furqan. It is the light
we need, and the shortcut to change is
submission to His commands.

160
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o When you trust in Allah , Al-Hayy you are

placing your reliance on the One who will
never die, never weaken, and never fail.
People may appear strong, but their strength
fades, their attention drifts, and their support
eventually ends. Relying on creation will always
leave you disappointed. This realization itself is
a form of Furqan , a life-changing clarity.
o To stay firm, we need dhikr — constant
remembrance.
o Dhikr gives life to the heart. It grounds us. One
of the most powerful forms of dhikr is:
o “SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi”
o This praise of Allah repels negativity, refreshes
the soul, and acts as an emotional and spiritual
outlet. It is a release , a means to cleanse the
heart.

161
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o Sometimes we are burdened by the sins of

others.
o We become overwhelmed by what people
are doing their mistakes, their choices, their
lifestyles. But this ayah reminds us:
o “Sufficient is He to be, with the sins of His
servants, Acquainted.”
o Allah knows. He is fully aware. Al-Khabeer —
the One who knows all hidden details.
o It is not your job to carry the sins of others on
your back. You don’t need to know every
detail of every person’s life. That’s not Furqan.
Real Furqan is knowing when to let go, and
trusting that Allah is already dealing with it.
o So what should we do?
o Trust in Allah. Make dhikr. Worship with sincerity.
Focus on your role. Let go of what is not your

162
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

responsibility. Then clarity come, and you will

be able to serve in the best way.

MAY ALLAH MAKE US FROM THE MUTWAKILEEN, WHO

GLORIFY AND PRAISE ALLAH AND BE AT REST THAT ALL IS

SURAH AL FURQAN
AYAT 59 TO 60 – FURQAN THROUGH THE
COMMANDS

o Surah Al Furqan was revealed in Makkah while

the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬was going through a great

deal of rejection and mockery from the

disbelievers. But instead of sinking into it, it was
to build up more furqan and clarity.
o Thus a person can see two sides of the story –
life is not perfect and we will be balanced
when we see two sides – that some accept
and some reject.

164
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o The greatest furqan in our life is not about what

we feel or see, but to know Who is Allah (‫)ﷻ‬,

especially a vast and great Name of Allah – Ar

Rahman.
o So the peak is when Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬gives console to

the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬by saying look at how they

deny The Most Merciful. Knowing this makes us

self-less and not pity ourselves for being
rejected and denied, subhan Allah.
o Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬is Al Khabeer (The All-Aware) and

“Expert” in all matters. And Who is Allah Al

Khabeer? We find the answer in the following

o Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬is able to do everything, He just says,

“be” and it is. But Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬creates it in six days

so that people believe and because He wants

to teach us gentleness and gradualness. We
cannot attain furqan without observing and
going through experiences.
o Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬can do everything quickly, but

everything comes with time and that is furqan.

o Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬created the earth in four days and the

heavens in two days because the earth is the

place where mischief takes place. And Allah
(‫ )ﷻ‬never took a break on the seventh day.

have no mercy because they reject The Most

SLAVES OF THE MOST MERCIFUL
o The Slaves of the Most Merciful want to
preserve and protect what they have after
going through nurturing. They are lanterns
themselves with dignity, values, faith, worship
and balanced interactions. At the same time,
they know their boundaries and they know
they cannot trust themselves.
o Thus they have greater taqwa in order to not
transgress. They understood the two sides of
the story and they want to be in the middle.
o The Slaves of the Most Merciful benefit from

o Ibad Ar Rahman are not one person, but they
are “slaves” because they need an
environment to be together to show more of
their servitude and gratitude to Allah (‫)ﷻ‬. This is

the vast mercy of Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬which creates such

people.
o Allah Ar Rahman is The Most Merciful in this life
and the next, and everything is balanced with

the Name of Allah Ar Rahman. He is the Owner

of Majesty and Honor, so He never leaves them

It is not about them speaking, but their reaction
when spoken to.
o What we have gone through in life affects our
walk. They are not running or flying, but they
walk, just as Allah (‫)ﷻ‬ mentioned the

messengers walk in the markets. So they are

not harsh or hard on the earth. They are also
not someone silent or still, but they walk.

Slaves of the Most Merciful do not harm, hurt or
insult them; they are peaceful.
o They are moderate in their speech – they are
not just quiet, nor do they speak out to prove
themselves; they are moderate speaking
peacefully.
o So the first description of Ibad Ar Rahman is not
about their worships, but their disciplined
demeanor because they know Who is Allah
(‫)ﷻ‬. This is their “day phase”, and what is their

“night phase”?

can be so good with people during the day,
but fall asleep entirely at night. But Ibad Ar
Rahman want more nurturing, even at night.
They want to be in prostration and standing to
their Lord – this is their fuel and nurturing.
o They take rest by worshipping Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬at night

and are far away from the eyes of the people.

The best prayer after the obligation is qiyam al
layl, and in the month of Ramdan, we see how
beautiful it is. The night prayer is our dignity and
honor. May Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬help us after Ramadan to

perform the night prayer, even if little. Ameen.

o So we should ask ourselves, “what is our furqan
in the morning and what is our furqan at

heart and its state. And the days reveals our
goodness and gratitude in how we deal with

INTRODUCTION
BEST SUPPLICATION ON THE NIGHT OF
DECREE
‫ يا رسول هللا أرأيت إن علمت أي ليلة القدرما أقول‬:‫قلت‬
ُ
"‫ اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعف عني‬:‫ "قولي‬:‫فيها؟ قال‬
I asked: "O Messenger of Allah (‫ !)صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬If I
realize Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), what
should I supplicate in it?" He replied, "You should
supplicate:
Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun, tuhibbul-'afwa,
fa'fu 'anni
(O Allah, You are All-Pardoning, and love to
pardon; so pardon me)."11

SURAH AL FURQAN
AYAT 72 TO 77 – IBAD AR RAHMAN –
THEIR PROTECTION
o Ibad Ar Rahman is mentioned twice in the
Qur’an. In one place it refers to angels, but
here it refers to human slaves who are not
angels or messengers. However, they are
distinct from other people due to their
manners, worships, belief and behavior, thus
making them worthy to be Ibad Ar Rahman
o They walk with humbleness and in the middle
of the night they worship Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬and make

dua. They connect to Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬at the best

time.

199
 LIVE WITH THE QUR’AN

o Their dua is to be protected from the fire and

that is furqan. They are balanced in different
states of their life.
o In addition, they abstain from major sins and do
not ascribe purity to themselves. They are
afraid they can fall into shirk, murder and zina.
o They are a good example, but if they fall into
these sins, their torment is multiplied because
they influence others.
o Whenever they remember their sins, they
increase in repenting to Allah (‫)ﷻ‬.

vain talk. Insulting people for indulging in vain

coolness of eyes for them. This means they do

not want to look elsewhere; their eyes are
content when they see their spouses, friends

o It is a great protection from shirk, jealousy and
arrogance when we have coolness in our eyes.
To have people who are coolness to our eyes
is enriching.
o At the same time, they are motivated to lead,
but those who are muttaqeen. They do not
want leadership in the duniya, but in taqwa.
This shows a great amount of furqan in their
dua.

people that Allah (‫ )ﷻ‬will not care for us if we

do not make dua. Thus a great furqan is Allah

(‫ )ﷻ‬will not care for us if we do not make dua.

o We do not know how our dua can change our

decree, ultimately changing our life. Therefore,
we must increase in making dua.

not make dua and then the punishment
becomes a must for him.
o The person did not make dua to keep the fire
away from him or ask for coolness of eyes. It is
important that we never stop making dua and
to carry it with us even after Ramadan.

FURQAN OF AYAH 77: FURQAN IS TO

ALWAYS MAKE DUA.

o Out of Allah’s mercy, He makes situations from

“day” and “night” so there can be Ibad Ar

furqan is in our hand and that is the Qur’an.
