Qur’an Journal

Monday, September 8: al-Baqarah 48

9ا فس شيئ قوا يوم9ا ال تجزي نفس عن ن وات وال يقبل منها شفاعة وال يؤخذ منها عدل وال

هم ينصرون

And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all, nor will intercession be accepted from it, nor will compensation be

taken from it, nor will they be aided.

Which day is this Ayah referring to? What are some things that we rely on in this world which will not really help us in the next? What should we focus on instead?

Wednesday, September 10: al-Baqarah 94

ه قل إن كانت لكم الدار اآلخرة عند اللوا الموت إن اس فتمن خالصة9 من دون الن

كنتم صادقينSay, [O Muhammad], "If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is for you alone and not the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful.

In this Ayah, some Jews are being addressed. They thought that just because they are Jewish, they will automatically get the best life in the Hereafter. Does any human have a guarantee that he/she will be accepted into Jannah? Do Muslims ever fall into this mistake of thinking that they are guaranteed Jannah regardless of what they do, just by virtue of carrying the label “Muslim”? How can we achieve a proper balance between hope and fear in Allah?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After discussion thoughts and reflections:______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Friday. September 12: al-Baqarah 107

ماوات ه له ملك الس ألم تعلم أن الله من ولي واألرض وما لكم من دون الل

وال نصيرDo you not know that to Allah belongs the dominion of the

heavens and the earth and [that] you have not besides Allah any protector or any helper?

How does Allah being the Owner of the heavens and earth relate to Him being our only ultimate protective friend and helper? Share your thoughts on Allah being our Waliyy and Naseer.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After discussion thoughts and reflections:____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
