SURAT AL HUJURAT

Aya 1- 5

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

To highlight some social ethics , that should

be exist in every Muslim.

1- WHAT IS THE CENTRAL THEME OF SURAH ALHUJURAT?

The surah deals

predominately with the
social ethics

2-THE FIRST AYAH OF SURAH AL-HUJURAT EMBODIES

VARIOUS SHADES OF MEANING. ELABORATE.

Do not be impatient
trying to hasten things
before the time ripe,
foe which the best
judge is Allah.

Do not make yourself noticeable in

word or deed when in the
presence of Allah.( for ex: in a
mosque or at prayers or religious
assembles )

Be respectful in all
things, as in the
presence of Allah: for
He hears and sees all
things.

3- BRING OUT THE LITERAL AND FIGURATIVE MEANING

OF THE SECOND AYAH.

O believers raise not your

voice---------
The literal in the case of the prophets
companions and
The figurative for them as well as for
the believers of later times. Implying
that ones personal opinion must not be
allowed to over rule the clear- cut
legal ordinance and moral stipulations
promulgated by the prophet SAW.
Those ordinance is described as the
sunnah of the prophet.

4- WHAT REVERENCE SHOULD A BELIEVER SHOW

TOWARDS ALLAHS MESSENGER?

Rudeness towards the

prophet may result in
destruction of mans
deeds while he may not
be aware of it

Mention of the
Prophets name should
always be made with
reverence, invoking
blessings upon him.

It is bad manners to
talk loudly before the
prophet or( in later
time) speak of him with
unbecoming familiarity.

5- SURELY THOSE WHO CALL YOU FROM OUTSIDE THIS AYAH RELATES IN FIRST INSTANCE TO THE PROPHET, AND IT MAY BE ALSO TAKEN TO APPLY TO ANOTHER SUPREME. EXPLAIN

While this Ayah relates in the first

instance to the prophet , it may also
be taken to apply to any supreme
leader of the community (amir alMiminin) who acts as the prophets
successor and rules in his name . to
shout aloud to your leader from
outside his apartment shows
disrespect for his person, his time
and his engagement.
