The original book is written by Sheikh As-Saa’di
Sheikh ibn Uthaimeen has written the explanation (شرح) of the book
Some verses in the Quran have specific reasons why they were revealed
(the reasons for the revelation) هناك اسباب النزول اآليات في بعض
1) Example: the lady (wife) who came to Prophet Muhammad
complaining about her husband " … سمع للاه د " ق
2) Example: angels descended in the Battle of Badr
But you need to take the general understanding from the Quran
This rule is very beneficial ( مفيدة القاعدةهذه ) in order the slave (you) will get lots of good
(benefit) AND deep knowledge (understanding) يحصل للعبد خير كثير
If you miss this rule – you will miss lots of benefit from the verse
You will get abundant knowledge (علم غزير) if you follow this rule
Who put this rule?
1) All the people who explained the Quran – they unanimously agreed upon this rule
هذا االصل اتفق عليه المحققون (2
those who interpret the Quran = مفسرين (3
4) They say the اسباب النزول is only there to explain the meaning of the verse clearly but
its application has to be general
to clarify the meaning توضع المعنى (5
The verses were revealed with specific reasons/situations in order to make their meaning and
understanding clear to everyone
2nd rule:
Need to take the general meaning of each verse even if it was revealed for in a specific situation
العبرة بعموم االفاظ ال بخصوص االسباب
How will you
interact with
the Quran?
اسباب النزول
هي امثله توضع المعنىAllah initiated
incidents/reasons for specific verses to be revealed in order
to clarify their meaning
WHY DO WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE GENERAL
MEANING OF THE VERSE?
Allah revealed the Quran to guide this ummah / nation
1) The first of this nation and the last of this nation
2) If you say that this verse is only limited to this reason of revelation – then you are
limiting yourself to its knowledge and application
3) Although the reason why the verse was revealed was specific – you still need to take the
generic meaning also to apply it to your life
Allah has commanded us to reflect and ponder upon the Quran
1) You cannot ponder and reflect unless you apply the verses in your own life
2) Every verse in the Quran is specifically for you
3) If you ponder upon the general meaning and understand it its meaning will open
another door of understanding for you
لهداية االمة من اولها الى آخرهاانما انزل القرآن
و هللا امرنا بالتفكر و التدبر لكتابه
Ibn Masood رضى هللا عنه said:
1. When you read any verse addressed to the believers – listen to it carefully & attentively Don’t say it’s only for the Sahaba or other people – I am not from this group so I don’t need
to listen to it or pay attention to it
Because you have to take every verse generally in order to benefit from it the most
Because anything that Allah commands you with – it is either the good (خير) or it is to stay
away from the evil (شر)
It allows you to interact with the Quran
If you think the verse is not applicable to you – you will not interact with the Quran
2. When you come across any news about Allah – about His perfections and how He is free from all faults You affirm all the positives that He deserves all the perfections and that He is free from
all the faults
Affirm the complete meaning of the verse (which Allah affirmed/attributed to Himself)
Negate whatever Allah negates – free Him from everything / anything that He frees Himself
from
This helps you to affirm your faith and belief and increase your ايمان
Don’t read the Quran as if it is far away from you
3. When you read about Allah’s books, messengers, the Day of Judgment or the past and future things (unseen) Unseen matters can be from the past or from the future! Need to believe in it without any doubts – completely Don’t give it another meaning Whatever is in the Quran is the best in truthfulness – best and highest rank of truthfulness
among all the truths Allah mentions in the Quran Surah An-Nisa #122
قه ِمن للِا ِقيلا و ن أْصد – and who is more truthful than Allah in statement… م
These are just changes in your heart – simple changes in the heart to believe 4. When you read about any commands/forbidden things – they are directed to the
whole ummah It’s not only directed to a certain group of people We are supposed to identify ourselves with what Allah revealed to us This is the path of good and success
Quick Facts (Summary):
Take the general meaning of every verse
Use the reasons for revelation to understand the verses clearly
There are different ways to deal with the different types of verses in the Quran
(Ibn Masud):
1 If its addressed to the believers pay attention to it
2 If its news about Allah affirm what He affirms/negate what He negates
3 If it’s about the unseen (past/future) need to believe as it’s the best rank of truth
4 If it’s about the commands & forbidden things
it’s for the whole ummah not for a certain group of people – supposed to obey/follow
قال ابن مسعود رضي هللا عنه
اذا سمعت هللا يقول "يا أيها الذين آمنوا"
فارعها سمعك
فانه خير تؤمر به
شر تنهى عنه
و متى مّربك خبر عن هللا
ما يستحقه من الكمال
يتنزه عن النقص
اثبت له جميع المعنى الذي اثبته لنفسه
نزّهه عن كل ما نّزه نفسه عنه
اذا اخبر عن كتبه و رسله و اليوم اآلخر
االمور السابقةيجزم به جزما ال شك
فيه على عنه حق
االمور اللحقةاعلى درجات الحق و
الصدق
االمر و النهي موجه لجميع االمه
الخير و الفلح معرفة ما انزل للا
Ibn Masud
May Allah
be pleased
with him, said:
When you hear the words of Allah "O you who believe"
pay close/careful attention to it
(listen carefully)
for indeed -it commands us with good
forbids (protects from) for the evil
When you come across any news
about Allah
How He is deserving of all the Perfection
How He is free from any imperfections /
faults
affirm all the meanings/news He
affirms about Himself (in your heart)
negate all what He negates about Himself
When you come across news
about His books, His messengers, & the Last Day
the affairs of the past
believe in it firmly without any doubt over
its truth
the affairs of the future
believe that it is the highest/best rank of the
truth
The Commands & Prohibitions
are for the whole ummah
to understand what Allah has revealed
this is the way to goodness & success
