Sorah At-Tariq ( The Night-Comer ) - Verses Number 17

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ ( 1 )

By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ ( 2 )

And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ ( 3 )

(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ ( 4 )

There is no soul but has a protector over it.

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ( 5 )

Now let man but think from what he is created!

خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ ( 6 )

He is created from a drop emitted-

يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ ( 7 )

Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:

إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ ( 8 )

Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ ( 9 )

The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ ( 10 )

(Man) will have no power, and no helper.

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ ( 11 )

By the Firmament which returns (in its round),

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ ( 12 )

And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ( 13 )

Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ ( 14 )

It is not a thing for amusement.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ( 15 )

As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا ( 16 )

And I am planning a scheme.

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا ( 17 )

Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).

Evolution of FiqhThe author says in the introduction of the second edition, “The overall purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with the historical factors behind the formulation of Islamic law (Fiqh), in order that he or she may better understand how and why the various schools of Islamic law (Madh-habs) came about. It is hoped that this understanding will in turn, provide a basis for overcoming the petty differences and divisions which occur when present-day followers of different schools of people without definite schools try to work together. Thus, another aim of this book is to provide a theoretical framework for the reunification of the Madhhabs and an ideological basis for Islamic community work free from the divisive effects of Madh-hab factionalism.” The book consists of six chapters: foundation, establishment, building, flowing, consolidation, and stagnation and decline.

Hajj and Umrah GuideMy brother pilgrim, as there is for every group a leader and for every journey a guide, the leader of the Hajj group is the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and their guide is his example and Sunnah, for he has said “ take from me your rites of Hajj ”. Therefore it's incumbent on everyone who approaches the House of Allah for hajj or Umrah to learn the way it was performed by the prophet (peace be upon him) through accurate guidebooks and by asking scholars about any uncertainties one may have.
