Three important functions of Al Qur’an summarized in one āyāt / verse of Surah An Nur

Al Qur'an is an immense source of guidance for the mankind. At numerous places, Divine commandments have been mentioned so that there is no excuse left not to abide by these. These Divine commandments while have been made very easy to under, Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم has given detailed explanation of these commandments to his companions which continue to trickle down since last more than 1400 years for the benefit of mankind and guidance of the believers.

We have been sharing these Divine commandments and their explanation off and on in our posts for the benefit of all our readers. Today, we share a very powerful āyāt / verse which summarizes three functions of Al Qur'an which must be understood so as to understand Al Qur'an and what it requires of us.

The  Verse (āyāt) 34 of Surah 24. An Nur (The Light)

وَلَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ آيَاتٍۭ مُّبَيِّنَـٰتٍۢ وَمَثَلًۭا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَمَوْعِظَةًۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

"And We have certainly sent down to you distinct verses and examples from those who passed on before you and an admonition for those who fear Allah."

Explanation of the Verse:

This verse is a powerful reminder summarizing three important functions of the Qur’an:

1. "آيَاتٍ مُّبَيِّنَـٰتٍ" — Clear Verses:

The Qur’an contains clear and detailed rulings, signs, and guidance. The laws and principles mentioned earlier in Surah An-Nur—especially about modesty, social conduct, and punishment for slander—are examples of these mubayyināt (clear verses). Allah clarifies what is permissible and what is forbidden to help build a morally upright society.

2. "وَمَثَلًۭا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ" — Examples from Those Who Came Before:

The Qur’an also includes historical examples of previous nations—how they were tested, how some obeyed and were rewarded, while others rejected guidance and were destroyed. These stories are not just for information but as warnings and lessons.

Similar mention is made in following Surahs of Al Qur'an:

• “Indeed in their stories is a lesson for people of reason.” (Yusuf 12:111)
• “Have they not traveled through the land and seen how was the end of those before them?” (Muhammad 47:10)

3. "وَمَوْعِظَةًۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ" — An Admonition for the God-Fearing:

The Qur’an serves as mawʿiẓah (a reminder or admonition) for the muttaqīn—those who have taqwa (God-consciousness). It gives spiritual insight, urging the believers to remain righteous and avoid paths that lead to immorality, hypocrisy, or disbelief.

This is similar to Allah saying in Surah Al-Imran 3:138: “This [Qur’an] is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and instruction for those conscious of Allah.” 

Connection with Earlier Verses in Surah An-Nur:

Surah An-Nur includes very specific legal rulings and moral teachings, which are very clearly stated in earlier verses of the Surah:

• Laws about zina (adultery) and its punishment (24:2)
• False accusations and the penalty for slander (24:4-5)
• The incident of the Ifk (false accusation against Aisha RA) (24:11-20)
• Adab (etiquette) of entering homes and lowering the gaze (24:27-31)
• Encouragement of marriage and modest living (24:32-33)

Verse 34 comes as a summary and conclusion to these detailed laws and stories—it reaffirms that all of this is not arbitrary but revealed with wisdom, clarity, and purpose.

Support from the Sunnah:

• The Prophet ﷺ emphasized that: The Qur’an is not just a book of recitation but a source of ḥikmah (wisdom), ʿibrah (lessons), and hudā (guidance).
• He said: “I leave behind me two things, the Qur'an and the Sunnah; if you follow these you will never go astray.” (Muwatta Malik, Hadith 1594)

Prophet ﷺ also explained verses through his words and actions. For example: The punishment for slander mentioned in Surah An-Nur was implemented in the incident of the Ifk, where after divine revelation cleared Aisha (RA), the slanderers were punished accordingly.

Reflections and Lessons:

• The Qur'an is holistic: Legal rulings, moral stories, and spiritual reminders all come together for one purpose: to guide those who fear Allah.
• Lessons from the past: We are meant to study history through the lens of revelation, learning from the successes and failures of earlier communities.
• Reminder for the righteous: Only those with taqwa will truly benefit from divine guidance. Others may hear the verses, but they will not internalize them.

May Allah help us interpret these otherwise clear and meaningful verses that open up the vista of understanding Al Qur'an and specially this very important surah of Al Qur'an.

May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏ 

(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”

That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.

May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.

Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.

Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.

Do not think Allah is heedless of the evil deeds of the evil-doers

Most of the people are peace loving and want to live a life happily away from all evil deeds and sins. Yet many of us fall prey to the evil one way or the other and end up doing acts unbecoming. Islam strictly forbids indulging in any act that is forbidden - these actions may include any actions, words, or intentions that violate the commands of Allah, harm others, corrupt the soul, or disrupt justice and moral order. These deeds can be against: Allah (through disbelief or disobedience), Oneself (through spiritual or moral self-harm), or Other people (through oppression, injustice, or harm, sexual abuse, bodily or spiritually abuse).

Men are harmed by unjust rulers, power wielding demagogues and abusers, specially involving sexual ingresses, bodily or spiritually harm. These evil doers make lives of others miserable. While a few can muster some strength to stand and challenge these evil doers, mostly people are forced to bow to their demands, but they in their hearts cry out to their Lord for why He is letting them hurt others and do not take stock of their crimes. In answer to such silent prayers, Allah reassures them that Allah is not heedless of the evil deeds of the evil doers. Instead, He just giving them some leverage to realise their evil deeds and repent. And when such people do not repent and continue with their evil deeds, the Divine wrath does strike, as we can look back and see the fate of the people of "Ad, Thamud and Lot.

Therefore, one should never think that Allah may ever be unaware of what the wrongdoers are perpetrating. It might appear so to some people who see the wrongdoers enjoying a comfortable life in this world. Such people hear God’s warning, but see nothing of it taking place in this life. This explains the deadline which is fixed for their final punishment when they are given no further respite. That takes place on the day when eyes stare fixedly in horror, unable even to wink. The fear is so great that there is no blinking of a single eyelid.

Before we share the verse of warning for the evil doers and reassurance to the oppressed, you may like to read our post for the question that usually comes to mind of the oppressed:

• Why does Allah give leverage to the tyrants and demagogues
• Beware! Camera is watching you

The following verse, the 42nd verse from Surah 14. Ibrahim (Prophet Abraham) of Al Qur'an is a Divine warning for the demagogues and reassurance to the oppressed, wherein Allah says:

وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعۡمَلُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ​ ؕ اِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ لِيَوۡمٍ تَشۡخَصُ فِيۡهِ الۡاَبۡصَارُ ۙ‏ 

"Do not think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them until a Day when eyes will stare (in horror)." (Qur'an 14:42)

Context of the Verse (Asbāb al-Nuzūl)

This verse was revealed in Makkah, during a time when rhe Prophet ﷺ and his companions were being persecuted at the hands of the polytheists of Makkah and the leaders of leading tribe of Quraysh were mocking, torturing, and oppressing Muslims without consequence. The disbelievers thought their wealth and status protected them from any consequences

Thus, this verse was sent as a warning to the oppressors and a comfort to the oppressed. It reassured the Prophet ﷺ and his followers that Allah is not unaware or unjust — He is simply giving the oppressors time, not escape.

Detailed Explanation

• Do not think Allah is unaware...”
• A direct address to both the Prophet ﷺ and the believers: Don't mistake Allah’s silence for ignorance or approval.
• Allah sees every act of oppression, injustice, and evil, even if He does not punish it immediately.
• “He only delays them...”: That is Allah gives respite (أَمهَلَ) to wrongdoers to:
• Let them repent
• Let the test of life continue
• Let the full weight of their choices accumulate
• This delay is part of Allah’s wisdom and mercy — but it is not forgiveness unless repentance occurs.
• “Until a Day when eyes will stare in horror”
• Refers to Yawm al-Qiyāmah (Day of Judgment).
• On that day, the reality of divine justice will be so terrifying that eyes will be fixed, unblinking in fear — paralyzed by what they see.

What does this Ayat / verse Teaches

• Don’t confuse delay with approval: Many people today assume that because evil seems to go unpunished, there may be no consequence. This verse destroys that illusion.
• Oppression will never be ignored: Allah’s justice is perfect. Every act of:
• Oppression
• Abuse
• Corruption
• That is evil doers will be accounted for, even if not immediately punished.
• The Day of Judgment is real and terrifying The Qur'an often gives imagery of the terror of the Day of Judgment to remind people that ultimate justice is certain, even if delayed.

Hadiths Supporting this Verse

• Allah gives respite, but not neglect:
• “Indeed, Allah gives respite to the wrongdoer. But when He seizes him, He does not let go.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 4686, Muslim 2583)
• This hadith directly echoes the meaning of 14:42. Allah may delay punishment to give a chance for repentance — but when the moment of justice comes, it is swift and decisive.
• Injustice is darkness on the Day of Judgment
• “Beware of oppression, for oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection...” (Sahih Muslim 2578)
• Those who wrong others will face humiliation and punishment on a day when there is no escape.
• Hadith Qudsi: Allah’s warning to the oppressors
• “O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden among you, so do not oppress one another.” (Sahih Muslim 2577)
• This ties directly into 14:42 — it shows how serious oppression is in the eyes of Allah.

Summary of Lessons from 14:42

• Allah is never unaware: That is even if justice is delayed, it is never denied
• Respite viz Approval: Delay is a test for the oppressor and the oppressed
• Day of Judgment is real Eyes will stare in terror — it will be undeniable and overwhelming
• Comfort for the oppressed Justice is promised; stay patient and firm
• Warning to the arrogant Your deeds are not hidden; you are only being given time

Let us not fall in the category of the evil doers of which Allah is never unaware of and will haul them one day with consequences so unbearable that one cannot imagine.

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏ 

(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”

That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.

May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

Al-Qurʾān: Selected verses from Surah 14. Ibrāhīm "إبراهيم" (Prophet Abraham)

Surah Ibrāhīm "إبراهيم"  (Prophet Abraham) is the 14th Surah  (chapter) of the Qur'an with 52  āyāt (verses), part of Juzʼ 13 of Al Qur'an. The Surah is a powerful and deeply reflective Surah named after Prophet Ibrāhīm عليه السلام (Abraham), one of the greatest prophets and spiritual fathers of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. This Surah addresses major themes like faith, gratitude, divine guidance, prophetic mission, arrogance of disbelievers, and the Day of Judgment. The Surah focuses on spiritual awakening, the importance of gratitude, and the legacy of monotheism through Prophet Ibrāhīm عليه السلام.

We have already published detailed exegesis of the Surah which can be accessed from link given below:

Surah Ibrāhīm "إبراهيم" (Prophet Abraham) - Exegesis of 14th Surah / Chapter of Qur'an

Herein under we only share in skeleton form the major thrust of the surah and main subjects discussed therein, followed by links to some of the selected ayat / verses from this surah for information of our readers.

Core Subjects of Surah Ibrahim

• The Purpose of Revelation
• “This is a Book We have revealed to you so that you may bring mankind out of darkness into light...” (14:1)
• The Qur’an is not just information—it's transformation.
• It's a call from darkness (kufr, ignorance) to light (faith, guidance).
• The Mission of Prophets
• Prophets are sent to every nation with a clear message: "Worship Allah and avoid false gods..." (14:10)
• The Surah reminds that rejecting the messengers led past nations to destruction.
• The Arrogance of Disbelievers
• The Surah frequently quotes how disbelievers mocked prophets: “You are only humans like us.”
• They rejected the divine message based on pride and worldly status.
• The Parable of the Good Word (Faith)
• As in verse 24: “A good word is like a good tree...”
• Faith is shown as something that grows, benefits others, and connects to the heavens.
• Scenes from the Day of Judgment: Vivid images are given of:
• People blaming each other
• Regret of the arrogant and their followers
• The inability of worldly power to save anyone
• Prophet Ibrahim's Dua (Supplication): 
• One of the most touching parts of the Surah is Ibrahim’s heartfelt prayer: “My Lord, make this city (Makkah) secure... keep me and my children away from idol worship...” (14:35)
• He asks for:
• Protection from shirk (idolatry)
• Sustenance and peace for his descendants
• Acceptance of his deeds
• Forgiveness for himself, his parents, and the believers
• It shows his deep humility, concern for future generations, and total dependence on Allah.
• Warning and Hope for Humanity
• The surah concludes with a universal message: “This (Qur’an) is a message for humanity... Let them take warning and know that He is One God...” (14:52)
• It addresses all people, not just Muslims.

Key Lessons from Surah Ibrahim

• Gratitude vs. Ingratitude: “If you are grateful, I will increase you. If you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe.” (14:7) – Gratitude is a pathway to blessings.
• Prophetic Legacy: True leadership is spiritual, not just political. Ibrahim's role is honored not for empire, but for faith.
• Consequences of Rejection: Those who deny guidance bring ruin on themselves and their people.
• Faith Is Fruitful: A sincere believer benefits themselves and others – like a strong, rooted tree.
• Human Responsibility: We are free to choose – but we will be accountable for our choices.

Why It Matters Today

In the present times, darkness (materialism, idolatry of ego, blind consumerism) is not unlike ancient ignorance. It thus calls for:

• To reflect to be be grateful, and follow true guidance is still urgent.
• To reflect on true leadership, parenting, and legacy as reflected in Ibrahim’s character and prophetic role.

Summary:

Section                             Focus

Verses 1–5 The Qur’an as light and guidance

Verses 6–20 Past prophets and the fate of disbelievers

Verses 21–27 Day of Judgment, good and bad words

Verses 28–34 Gratitude vs. Ingratitude

Verses 35–41 Prophet Ibrahim’s dua

Verses 42–52 Warning of Allah’s justice and a universal message

We now share some of the verses from Surah Al-A'raf which have already been published covering some important messages:

• Allah Proclaims: If you give thanks, I will certainly grant you more - verse 7
• Beware, followers of the Satan, of the day when Satan will abandon you -verse 22
• The Day when Satan will declare his True Colours - verse 22
• Satan will say "I called you to my way and you responded to me. So, do not blame me but blame yourselves."  - verse 22
• The Divine Command to establish Prayer and Charity - verse 31
• Establishment of Prayer and Giving Out Charity - verse 31
• Do not think Allah is heedless of the evil deeds of the evil-doers - verse 42

In time we will continue to add more selected verses from Surah 14. Ibrāhīm "إبراهيم"  for information of our readers.

May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏

Beware believers! Do not disclose your committed sins in public (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)

Islam cautions everyone, both men and women, about committing sins, whether in public or in private. Sins committing in public propmt other to follow the suit and divulging sins in private creates stir in public and make them privy to the crime of the sinners and may not only harm them in some way but also encourage others to add darkness to their lives. 

When it comes to committing sins, the onus of doing so particularly lies on men  because of their greater responsibilities, influence, and social authority in many spheres of life. Men may have more freedom or opportunity to commit certain sins (e.g., financial fraud, abuse of power, illicit relationships, physical aggression), especially in societies where they are less restrained than women.

Islam puts barriers (ḥudūd) and warnings to prevent these from being abused. Thus a man is accountable not only for himself but also for those under his care. Sinning can damage his ability to lead justly. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has therefore warned the believers to refrain from committing sins openly and  also in private and then boasting about it as to prove his manhood and strength to do so as and when he so wishes. 

Text of the Hadith

Narrated by Abu Huraira :

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying. "All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the Mujahirin (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the people). An example of such disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allah screens it from the public, then he comes in the morning, and says, 'O so-and-so, I did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday,' though he spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes Allah's screen from himself."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ كُلُّ أُمَّتِي مُعَافًى إِلاَّ الْمُجَاهِرِينَ، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْمَجَانَةِ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ الرَّجُلُ بِاللَّيْلِ عَمَلاً، ثُمَّ يُصْبِحَ وَقَدْ سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ، فَيَقُولَ يَا فُلاَنُ عَمِلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَقَدْ بَاتَ يَسْتُرُهُ رَبُّهُ وَيُصْبِحُ يَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ اللَّهِ عَنْهُ ‏"‏‏.‏

What does the Hadith Mean

In this hadith, word Mujāhir is used  to denote those who commit a sin in the dark (metaphorically or literally) and boast or casually reveal it afterward.

It is for such people who commit sins in private and public, Allah has warned:

“Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): ‘(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are Al‑Fawaahish (great evil sins and every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous oppression, joining partners (in worship) with Allaah for which He has given no authority, and saying things about Allaah of which you have no knowledge’” [Surah Al-A’raaf 7:33]

Despite the sins, Allah still reassured the sinners that He may forgive sins committed in private if the sinner immediately repents and seek the Divine forgiveness, for Allah alone is the witness. But if a man commits sins privately and then publicly confesses or showcases without genuine repentance.

Why disclosure of sins is so Serious

• It removes Allah’s concealment: Allah conceals our mistakes—revealing them ourselves is like tearing away His protective cloak 
• It can promote sin: Publicly declaring sins isn’t just personal recklessness—it normalizes them, encouraging others to sin 

Wisdom Behind the Guidance

• Protect Allah’s Mercy: Concealing sins invites His forgiveness; exposing them blocks it. 
• Guard one’s dignity & community: Shame is a tool to prevent wrongdoing. Flaunting sin 
• Prevent sin from spreading: By hiding our faults, we limit their influence on others.

Scholars' view point

Most scholars agree the hadith primarily refers to major sins or the attitude of proudly flaunting any sin.

However, if someone openly brags about even a “minor” sin (like watching prohibited content) without shame, it counts as removing Allah’s concealment and becomes spiritually dangerous 

Bottom Line

This hadith teaches that while Allah’s mercy is vast, publicly showcasing sins, even minor ones, can block our forgiveness. It’s a reminder to value humility, discretion, and sincere repentance.

In view of the gravity of sins so committed and then even boasting them publicly, the believers have been specially cautioned to conceal their sins. And if someone has mistakenly or in ignorance divulged these in public, then one must instantly repent and seek Divine forgiveness. And the same time apologise to those whose character has been tarnished. We have to cautious to not even divulging one's secrets in public as a joke and this hurting personal honour and dignity and that of those who were the accomplices. 

However, this Hadith may not be taken as a leverage to continue committing sins and then keep repenting. One must earnestly repent one's sins and pledge not to do these again. 

May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏

Believers! Do not relate your vision or intentions to others

Everyone of us dream of big things or has innovative plans to modify existing schemes or renewing these to give these a different look.  Studies (like Gollwitzer’s research) suggest that announcing your goals might satisfy your brain’s reward system, making you feel accomplished before taking action.

Yet in the competitive fields, sharing early ideas can lead to someone else acting on them before you do. Or else people may be skeptical, dismissive, or unsupportive—especially if your dream challenges norms. Their doubt can undermine your confidence. More so, you may be hit by the evil eyes of many who envy your success and want to overtake you to lead the in the competitive world. Therefore, one must weigh the prospects of success of your plan or someone borrowing your ideas and get smarter to do something you have been dreaming or planning since long. 

Remember, sharing goals is OK (in brooder term) but never share your fantasies.

This is exactly what Prophet Ya’qub ( Jacob, peace be upon him) advised to his son Yusuf (later Prophet Joseph) when the latter shared a dream with his father. This advise is referred to in the 5th verse of Surah 12. Yusuf which is part of the story of the Prophet Yusuf (Joseph, peace be upon him). Here's a relevant translation of that verse for context:

"He said, 'O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers, or they will contrive against you a plan. Indeed Satan is to man a manifest enemy.'" — Surah Yusuf (12:5)

As the verse reads, even sharing ideas and dreams with one's brothers or even the closest relatives and friends can be devastating in realizing one's plans and aspirations.

Context and Explanation:

This verse comes after Yusuf (Joseph) tells his father Ya’qub (Jacob) about a remarkable dream he had:

“I saw [in a dream] eleven stars, and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me.” (12:4)

His father, Prophet Ya‘qub, immediately understands the significance of the dream — that Yusuf is destined for greatness, likely to be a prophet, and will have a position of high status. But instead of encouraging Yusuf to share it, Ya‘qub warns him: "Do not relate your vision to your brothers..."

Why the Warning?

Ya‘qub (Jacob) knew his other sons harbored jealousy toward Yusuf, and he foresaw that sharing such a dream might provoke envy, resentment, or worse — plotting against Yusuf.

Key Lessons:

• Not all truths should be shared openly. Even good things, like a positive vision or goal, can provoke envy in others — especially if those others already harbor jealousy or ill will.
• Understand your audience: Yusuf’s brothers were not spiritually mature or emotionally safe people to hear about a dream that placed Yusuf above them.
• Satan exploits jealousy: The verse ends by saying that “Satan is to man a clear enemy” — indicating that Satan can amplify jealousy into destructive actions, especially in vulnerable hearts.

Modern-Day Relevance:

In the extremely competitive world, one has to be very careful and cautions what he says and to whom. Any loose words or expression of one's plan can cost him very dearly, for these days everyone out there is on the look out for such slips of tongue or divulgences in exuberance. Following tips may be given due consideration in the this regard:

• This verse teaches emotional intelligence, discretion, and awareness of human nature, which are timeless principles.
• Be cautious about who you share your goals, dreams, or blessings with.
• Some people might not have your best interests at heart, even if they are close to you.
• Oversharing can sometimes invite unnecessary conflict, envy, or sabotage.

We have already published detailed exegesis of the 5th verse quoted above which can be accessed from link : Surah Yusuf (Joseph): Exegesis of the 12th Chapter of the Holy Quran - Part I (Verses 1-22)

May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable.

A good Muslim should NEVER boast of his wealth nor expose his secrets

The main theme of Islam is peace: Peace within and peace without. That means, one should be ever contended of what he has been blessed with and should never boast of what he has or what secrets are hidden in his heart. If one boasts of his wealth, both material and spiritual, it may hurt others who are not so gifted. Likewise exposing one's secrets or affairs of one's household mahis position weaken which may be taken advantage of those on the lookout of one's weak points so as to exploit the one who is too weak to keep his secrets to himself. 

For these very reasons, Islam forbids boasting and concealing one's secrets for deeply spiritual, psychological, and social reasons. These teachings are rooted in humility, sincerity (ikhlas), protection from envy and harm, and fostering a healthy, modest society. Boasting—especially about wealth, knowledge, achievements, or good deeds—stems from ego (kibr) and pride / traits is  strongly condemned in Islam.

"Do not exult (boast), for Allah does not love the boastful." — Surah Al-Qasas 28:76

AS for concealing one's secrets, the Prophet has advised Muslims to do so and said: “Seek help in the accomplishment of your needs by being discreet, for everyone who is blessed is envied.”

With this premise, let us share a few verses from Al Qur'an and Hadiths which forbid a good Muslim from boasting and advises not to to expose his secrets publicly. In time, we will expand meaning of each of these Qur'anic verses and Hadiths for better understanding Islam and living a life of a good Muslim:

• Do not exhibit your charities and zakat (Surah 2. Al Baqarah: 271)
• Do not relate your vision or intentions to others (Surah 12. Yusuf:5)
• Do not divulge to others some secret kept with you as a trust (Sahi al-Bukhārī: 33)
• Conceal your sins (Hadith quoted in Sahi al-Bukhārī as Hadith number 6069)
• Do not expose sins of others (Sahi  Muslim Hadith 2590)
• Do not expose you marital life secrets (Sahi Muslim 1437)

Islam’s approach is not to suppress joy or success—but to channel it with humility, privacy, and balance. You're encouraged to thank Allah, not show off to people; and to share good when it benefits others, not when it fuels ego.

May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏

Al-Qurʾān: Selected verses from Surah 9. At-Tauba (The Repentance)

Surah At-Taubah " ٱلتَّوْبَة " (The Repentance) — also known as Bara’ah "  البراءة "(Disassociation) — is the 9th chapter of the Qur’an. It contains 129 verses (ayat) and is one of the last Medinan surahs. It is called At-Taubah in light of the fact that it articulates taubah (repentance) and informs about the conditions of its acceptance. (verse 9:102, 9:118). The name Bara'at (release) is taken from the opening word of the Surah.

It deals with almost the same topics as those dealt with in Surat al-Anfal. In contrast to all other surahs, the Islamic prophet Muhammad did not order that this formula should be put at the beginning of this surah. At-Tawba's verse 40 refers to Abu Bakr, the first Muslim to embrace Islam and a very close aide of Prophet of Islam, as thaniya ithnayn ('Second of the Two').

Why opener Bismillah is omitted?

This is the only Surah of the Quran to which Bismillah " بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ  " is not prefixed, the usual opening formula, In the name of God, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate. Though the commentators have given different reasons for this, the correct one that which has been given by Imam Razi: namely, this is because the Holy Prophet himself did not dictate it at the beginning of the Surah. Therefore the Companions did not prefix it and their successors followed them., This is a further proof of the fact that utmost care has been taken to keep the Quran intact so that it should remain in its complete and original form.

Let us now have a glance in skeleton form about the subjects and theme of the Surah:

Core Message of Surah At-Tawbah:

A call to sincerity in faith, accountability in action, and clarity in alliances — especially regarding hypocrisy, treaties, and the responsibility of the Muslim community.

Key Themes and Messages

• Disavowal of Treacherous Alliances
• The surah opens with a declaration of disassociation (bara’ah) from pagan tribes who repeatedly broke treaties with the Muslims (verses 1–3).
• It sets a deadline of 4 months for such tribes to repent or face consequences (verse 2).
• The message: Justice requires accountability, not blind tolerance.
• Rules of Engagement and Peace
• It clarifies that not all non-Muslims are enemies. Only those who violate treaties or wage war against Muslims are targeted.
• Those who seek peace, fulfill their treaties, or seek protection must be treated honorably (verse 6).
• Condemnation of Hypocrisy
• A large portion of the surah criticizes hypocrites (munafiqoon)—those who claim Islam but act with cowardice, selfishness, or deceit (verses 38–96).
• Traits of hypocrites:
• Reluctance to join in struggle (jihad).
• Mocking the Prophet and believers.
• Making excuses to avoid obligations.
• The surah calls for discernment between sincere believers and those who only pretend.
• Repentance (Tawbah) and Redemption
• Despite the severity, the surah emphasizes that Allah is always ready to forgive those who turn back sincerely (verses 102–118).
• The example of the Three Who Stayed Behind (verse 118) shows that even grave errors can be forgiven with true repentance.
• Call to Sacrifice for the Faith
• Urges believers not to cling to worldly life, wealth, or comfort when the faith requires action (verse 38–39).
• True believers are those who:
• Support the cause of Islam with their wealth and lives.
• Remain steadfast and honest.
• Avoid hypocrisy and excuses.
• Finality of the Prophet’s Mission
• This surah solidifies the political and spiritual leadership of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
• Declares that Islam is now the dominant religious and moral system in the Arabian Peninsula (verse 33).

Summary Message of Surah At-Tawbah:

Be sincere in faith, firm in justice, and accountable to your word. True belief requires action, courage, and integrity — not just words. Hypocrisy and betrayal have no place in a believing community.

For detailed overlay / outline and the tafseer  / explanation of the surah, please refer to our posts on the subject already published from links given herein under:

| Overview | Exegesis: | Part I | Part II |
