An-Nur

And if you forgive, then it is a means for Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la to also overlooking you and forgiving you for your sins.

in Surah An-Nur where Allah mentions about Abu Bakr when that situation happened with regards to Aisha one of the people that were spreading the rumors was you know his relative that he used to also support So when Abu Bakr found out, he got upset and he said, I'm never gonna support.

And then Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la revealed the verse, right? Yes, wouldn't you want Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la forgives you? So what he did was he started to continue providing for him and so on and so forth.

So you have to sometimes be the bigger person And you're doing it for the sake of Allah.

And Brother Mike, if I asked you then to just explain that actual chapter and that verse.

You mentioned it earlier, didn't you? Surah An-Nur on chapter 24, verse 36.

If I, you know, for our listeners, if I read out the translation first and then, you know, we can bit by bit, you know, break it up and then try to elaborate in our own words as well as, as I mentioned, we'll take off a guest on later on as well.

So this verse, the translation is taken from chapter 24, verse 36.

um can we get straight into the questions and then we might have some follow-up questions as well so i've got a couple and then brother amah who's with me has got a couple as well so we've tried to explain it um this um verse etc but what does it really mean when the Quran describes Allah as the light of the heavens and the earth

I mean, it's such a beautiful chapter.

It's Surah An-Nur in which Allah Almighty, as you just stated, has mentioned that Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth.

And this is one of the most profound descriptions of Allah in the Holy Quran, but it does not mean that Allah Almighty is the physical light, like the sunlight or the light of the lamp, but it means that Allah is the ultimate source of all guidance, of the truth, of goodness, of spiritual life and also of enlightenment.

Recite Surah Maryam for house blessing and protection from thieves.

Recite Surah An-Nur to protect during the night and prevent bad dreams.

Recite Surah Al-Ankabud to bring joy and happiness to your life.

All these rewards for every single surah in the Quran.

And this is the level of community and family Islam teaches us to aspire towards.

Likewise in Surah An-Nur, there is a verse there that was revealed specifically for Abu Bakr .

You know, there's a section in Surah An-Nur that was revealed after the famous slander against our mother Aisha .

One of the people who slandered her was her own cousin.

And this cousin of hers, it was her father Abu Bakr who was taking care of him financially.

It is not all rulings.

When it comes to hijab itself as a ruling, this is already addressed in Surah An-Nur, and it will be addressed also in Surah Al-Hajab, verse 59, which is different from verse 53, which is hijab in verse 53.

So other women are being addressed by hijab as in the sense of covering the whole body except for the hands and face.

But this particular ayah that is being used to abrogate everything, the referent of this ayah are the mothers of the believers.

You know why? Because it's Quranic advice.

When Allah was describing the heart of the believer, he said what? Surah An-Nur.

The lantern is encased in glass, protective glass.

So he tells him, I want you to make your heart like glass.
