Wednesday Tafseer Class
A friendly, weekly tafseer class with Shaykh Haytham Tamim At a glance Every Wednesday 10am-11.30am ONLINE via ZOOM. All classes are recorded. How much does it cost? This class is £10 per session. If you would like to attend please email: info@utrujj.org A study of Surat Al Anam Surat Al Anam is a Makki Surah, although it is one of the longer surahs, and most Makki surahs are quite short. It focuses on aqeedah, challenging the mind, status quo and culture and inviting people to reflect and look at practices and beliefs of forefathers and discussion and debate on the Prophet (peace be on him) and his people to put forward the truth in a logical manner. We see from this surah that the response was illogical. Even today we have the same response. The Prophet (peace be on him) was sad when he introduced the obvious shining truth and he was keen for people to embrace it and be saved and be happy in the akhirah but many denied it and were not interested. We will see how the Quran dealt with it. The Prophet (peace be on him) never gave up, even though there were very few people who accepted Islam in the first 13 years. Unusually the whole surah was revealed in one go. Most long surahs were revealed in pieces, whereas the majority of short surahs were revealed in one go. The surah has 165 verses, which means it is longer than Surat al Maidah which has 120 verses. Although it was revealed in Makkah it was revealed during the night at once. 70,000 angels were carrying it and filled the horizon, glorifying Allah through tasbih and tahmil, according to the narration. This means the revelation of it in one go would have been very heavy.…
