Allah In Himself (1-5) Flashcards
Surah 2.255 [Part A]
It begins with the expression of Shahadah (declaration of the oneness of God) and elaborates that God is beyond human comprehension and he is free from all limitations and weaknesses. He is unlike other beings because He knows everything and can do everything and enjoys autonomy in exercising His authority. Surah Al-Anaam says, “To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and of earth,” Throne kursi is a symbol of authority which means that He is the king ruling over all that exists. No one shares His attributes and kingdom. His powers never weaken nor waver.
Surah 2.255 [Part B]
This verse is declared by the Holy Prophet as one of the treasures of Paradise. It makes Muslims realize that they must emphatically reject any idea or notion that there can be any partner of God which eliminates the possibility of Shirk in practical lives. It allows Muslims to understand their Lord by explaining that certain things that affect humans do not affect Him. Understanding God’s power gives conviction of Heart in worshipping Him alone and Muslims do not look towards any other being for the fulfillment of their needs. It is recited by Muslims for seeking Allah’s protection in their daily lives against all evils.
Surah 6:101-103 [Part A]
It gives the message of Tawhid by expressing that God does not have any partners and that the entire universe is the creation of His will and design. He is free from all physics relations, especially, wife and children. The Quran says, “He begets not nor is He begotten,” God is beyond human comprehension. Although humans cannot understand Him, He understands everything in the universe. God is the most powerful, He is the one who has the power to help humans and He hears and sees all things that they do, therefore they should worship Him and pray to Him to reward their actions.
Surah 6:101-103 [Part B]
These teachings emphasize the importance of Tawhid for Muslims for their spiritual purification. It also protects them from shirk in daily living. Mankind is asked to worship Him as He can only fulfill their needs, so Muslims should be careful to fast and pray. When Muslims believe in Allah as Al-Knowing-Well-Aware, they refrain from committing sins even secretly and become fair in dealings with people. In a world where there are lots of distractions, this surah reminds Muslims that they should always remember their creator as He is the ultimate authority over their affairs.
Surah 41.37 [Part A]
Fussilat means clearly spelt out message of the Holy Quran. It is directing one’s attention to the concept of Tawhid by saying that God controls and creates everything; in this verse specifically the sun and moon. Celestial bodies and the cycle of nature on earth are the signs of God’s power and help to identify our true Lord and His presence. The Quran says. “Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of night and day- there are indeed signs for men of understanding,” The order of the sun and moon show that God alone should be praised and worshipped and nothing should be associated with Him. It is the negation of paganism; the sun and moon are not to be worshipped.
Surah 41.37 [Part B]
This passage is important in the daily lives of Muslims because it creates a strong link with God so Muslims do not look up to another being. It stops them from committing shirk by making them realize that all created things are not permanent. God’s signs invited Muslims to observe their environment and ponder over His signs. It creates awe and wonders to help get closer to Him. Muslims in their daily lives learn from this passage that God administers all affairs. Thus, they consider themselves humble servants of God and turn to Him for salvation through prayer.
Surah 42.4-5 [Part A]
These verses confirm God’s power, majesty and ultimate authority over all that exists in this universe. His majesty is so much that the heavens tremble and are almost ready to burst asunder by His glory. The Quran says, “To Him belongs everything that is in the heavens and on earth,” It further discusses that angels always glorify God’s attributes of forgiveness and mercifulness for those who repent and request Him for their forgiveness.
Surah 42.4-5 [Part B]
The importance here is that God tells humankind of His power and control over all things, so they should remember that they do not have any power in comparison which in turn protects them from arrogance. In their daily lives, Muslims need to show humbleness like Angels who despite having magnificent power to dispose of different affairs but they fear God and seek His mercy day and night. Muslims should not be persistent in difficulties, even when Muslims have committed wrong actions. They must trust God who would help them with all their problems. Muslims should in turn be grateful through acts of worship like praying and fasting.
Surah 112 [Part A]
It presents the fundamental Quranic theme of Allah in Himself. It explains the concept of Tawhid for the purity of faith. God is independent of all but all are dependent upon Him, and He needs nothing for His sustenance. “Allah, there is no God but He, the living, the self-subsisting,” He is free from all limitations of time and space. He has no partners nor family and does not have anyone to share His authority nor any children. It is one of the surahs of protection (Quls).
Surah 112 [Part B]
This passage is important for Muslims because it protects them from different forms of Shirk so that people do not take other people or created things as their Lord, so they should not replace God with things like famous people or place anything or anyone alongside Him. This surah is often recited by Muslims in daily prayers after surah Fatiha. This surah is a source of contentment and spiritual strength for Muslims as it is equivalent to one-third of the Holy Quran. It helps Muslims to have clarity of faith and allows them to develop a relationship with God.
