Podcasts about Makkan

The sacred Harams (S1) The sacred haram had an effect even on the noble prophets (a.s): When the messenger ﷺ reached Hudaybeeyah to perform the umrah, his camel stopped. “She has been made to stop by The One Who caused the elephant to stop! The haram (I.e. Makkah) is heavy upon her, and heavy upon me”. The noble prophet and ancient grandfather of our messenger ﷺ, Ismaaeel (a.s) once complained to Allah ﷻ about the heat of Makkah. Allah ﷻ revealed: “I will open a door of paradise in your grave, which will blow cool air onto you until Qiyamah”. Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنه: “Whoever bears the heat of Makkah for 1 hour, Allah ﷻ keeps him away from the hellfire the distance of 70 autumns”. Makkah being a desert is a mercy: were it to be a beautiful oasis, people would travel ignorantly for reasons other than pilgrimage! Our beloved messenger ﷺ in the auspicious Makkan days would align the Kabah to masjid al aqsa, the original Kiblah. He would do this by standing between the Yemeni corner and the black stone! Ismaaeel (a.s) and his beloved mother (r.a) are buried in the al-Hijr. (Hateem area near the Kabah).

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhAlhamdulillah, welcome to Be Quranic.This is the blessed month of Ramadan—Ramadan Mubarak to everyone! May Allah bless us in this month with a fasting full of Iman and sincerity, leading to taqwa and forgiveness from Him.The Be Quranic Taraweeh ApproachEach Ramadan, I choose one surah as my pet surah to study and recite throughout the month in Taraweeh.I lead Taraweeh with the Qaswa community here in Perth, and our approach may differ slightly from other places.We select one surah and deeply study it throughout the month. Each night before Taraweeh, we have a short tafsir session, and the ayat covered in tafsir are then recited in salah. This means we repeat the same ayat for several nights—allowing us to develop a deeper connection with the Qur'an.This method helps us internalise the surah and absorb its meanings so that when we hear the recitation in prayer, it resonates more deeply with us.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.A Journey Through Past RamadansWe started this approach in 2019 with Surah Al-Baqarah.In 2020, due to COVID restrictions, we opted for Surah Al-Kahf, keeping things shorter and simpler.By 2021, restrictions were still fluctuating, so we went through Juz Amma, studying and repeating it in our Taraweeh prayers.Then, in 2022, as things returned to normal, we resumed our original format with Surah Ali 'Imran, followed by Surah An-Nisa in 2023, and Surah Al-Ma'idah in 2024.This year, 2025, our chosen surah is Surah Al-An'am.The Purpose of This ApproachThis is not just an intellectual tafsir—it is a practical approach. We extract real-life lessons from the surah, which we can turn into action points for the next 11 months.Each Ramadan, we add a new checklist of Qur'anic principles to live by, so that over the years, we gradually build our character through the Qur'an.This way, we don't just read or listen to the Qur'an—we live by it.Introduction to Makki SurahsWhat Makes a Surah Makki?The division of Makki and Madani Surahs is not based on geography—it is based on time.• Makki Surahs were revealed before Hijrah when the Prophet ﷺ was based in Makkah.• Madani Surahs were revealed after Hijrah, even if they were revealed outside of Madinah.For example:• Surah An-Nasr (إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ) was revealed in Makkah but is still a Madani Surah because it was revealed after the migration.• Surah Al-Fath (إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُّبِينًا) was revealed near Hudaybiyyah, closer to Makkah than Madinah, yet it's a Madani Surah.So, the division is based on period, not place.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication.

They were a minority, oppressed, and struggling against an overwhelming opposition.During this time, there were no major laws—no fasting, no zakah, no hijab. Even the five daily prayers were only fully established towards the end of the Makkan period.So, what was the focus of Makki Surahs?

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al Aas (ra) Session 3 Abdullah ibn Amr (ra) was a stout man and had a large frame (Siyar). He was 25 years of age when the divine revelation descended. His father was only 13 years older than him (Mashaheer). Abdullah (ra) was originally named Al Aas 'the disobedient one' but this was later changed when he became one of the faithful (Siyar). His father Amr passed away 20 years after the death of Umar (ra) in 23 AH at the age of 99 (Al Isaabah). Abdullah (ra) recalls the ill treatment of The Messenger ﷺ during the early Makkan period.

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al Aas (ra) Session 4 The Early Makkan Period The Day Before Abu Bakr (ra) defends his dear friend The Messenger ﷺ ... The pagan Quraysh continue the persecution The Messenger ﷺ eventually responds... 'O Assembly of Quraysh, I swear by Allah SWT that I have come to slaughter you! The stunned and motionless pagans responded 'O Abu Qassim ﷺ please proceed in peace...' Anas (ra) relates, 'Once they beat up The Messenger ﷺ until he went blank...' and later regained consciousness to complete the Tawaaf (Tabarani).

Al-Adiyat or The War Horses which run swiftly[1] (Arabic: العاديات, al-ʿādiyāt, also known as "The Courser, The Chargers") is the 100th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, with 11 āyāt or verses. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, rather than later in Medina Summary 1-6 Oaths that man is ungrateful to his God 7-8 Man loves the things of this world 9-11 Man's secret thoughts shall be discovered in the judgment-day [2] A one liner theme of surah al-adiyat would read that this surah gives an example that horses are more grateful to their owners than men are to their Rabb (Allah).[3] First five ayaat of the surah consist of an oath as a metaphor enforcing the lesson.[4] They describe a scene of horses charging, panting, producing sparks by their hooves, raiding at the time of dawn, stirring up the cloud of dust and arriving a gathering. The substantive proposition is in verses 6-8 that Man is ungrateful to his Lord and himself is a witness to it and he is immoderate in the love of worldly good.[5] The last three ayaat conclude the surah with a rhetorical question that Does the man not know about the time when contents of the graves will be resurrected and that which is in men's breasts shall be brought to light on that Day their Sustainer will show that He has always been fully aware of them Period of revelation Whether this Surah Al-Adiyat is a Makki or a Madani is disputed. But the subject matter of the Surah and its style clearly indicate that it is not only Makki, but was revealed in the early stage of Makkan period.[3] Abdullah bin Masud, Jabir, Hasan Basri, Ikrimah, and Ata say that it is Makki. Anas bin Malik, and Qatadah say that it is Madani; and from Ibn Abbas two views have been reported, first that it is a Makki Surah, and second that it is Madani. But the subject matter of the Surah and its style clearly indicate that it is not only Makki but was revealed in the earliest stage of Makkah. So the surah is considered to be Meccan conclusively.[6] Hadith According to hadith this surah is recommended in Maghrib prayer. Hisham ibn Urwah said that his father used to recite the surahs like the Al-Adiyat is recited. Abu Dawud said: This indicates that those (traditions indicating long surahs) are abrogated, and this is more sound tradition.[7]

Al-Aʻlā (Arabic: الأعلى, lit. 'The Most High, Glory To Your Lord In The Highest') is the eighty-seventh chapter (surah) of the Qur'an, with 19 ayat or verses. Al-A'la describes the Islamic view of existence, the Oneness of Allah, and Divine revelation, additionally mentioning rewards and punishments. Mankind often hides things from each other and from themselves as well. The sura reminds its readers that Allah knows the things that are declared and things that lie hidden. The final verse of this Sura affirms that a similar message was also revealed to Abraham and Moses in the scriptures.[1] This sura is part of the series of Al-Musabbihat as it begins with the glorification of Allah. This is a Makkan surah. The first 7 Āyāt (verses) were revealed during the first years of Makkan life. One of the companions of Ali said that he prayed twenty consecutive nights behind him and he did not recite any Surah, except Surah A'la. Surat Al-A'lā is among the most recited suras in the Jummah and Witr prayers. Summary 1-5 God, the Most High, praised for his works 6-9 God promises to help Muhammad to proclaim the Quran 10-11 The God-fearing only shall be admonished 12-15 The wicked shall be punished, but the righteous shall be blessed 16-17 Men choose the present life rather than the life to come 18-19 The books of Abraham and Moses attest the Quran [2] Hadith Ibn ‘Abbas (d.687) narrated: The Prophet recited in Witr: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High (Al-Ala).[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Ibn ‘Abbas reported; when the prophet recited: "Glorify the name of thy Lord, the Most High."(Al-Ala) He would say: "Glory be to Allah, the most High".[10] Samra ibn Jundab narrated that: The Messenger of Allah used to recite in the Friday prayer: "Glorify the name of your most high Lord" (Al-Ala) and Has the story of the overwhelming event reached you? (Al-Ghashiyah). [11][12][13][14] It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet used to recite in the ‘Eid prayers "Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High." (Al-Ala) and “Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming?” (Al-Ghashiyah).[15][16][17][18] It was narrated from al-Nu'man b. Bashir that: The Messenger of Allah used to recite on the two Eid prayers and on Jumu'ah: "Glorify the Name of Your Lord, the Most High" (Al-Ala) and "Has there come to you the narration of The Overwhelming?"(Al-Ghashiyah) Sometimes the two ('Eid and Jumu'ah) occurred on the same day, and he would recite them (these two Surahs).[19][20][21] It was narrated that Imran ibn Husain said: "The Prophet prayed Zuhr and a man behind him recited: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High. When he had finished praying, he said: 'Who recited: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High?" (Al-Ala) A man said: 'I did.' He said: 'I realized that some of you were disputing with me over it'".[22][23] Abu Bakr bin An-Nadr said: "We were in At-Taff with Anas, and he led them in praying Zuhr. When he had finished, he said: 'I prayed Zuhr with the Messenger of Allah and he recited two surahs for us in the two rak'ahs: "Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High' (Al-Ala) and 'Has there come to you the narration of the over-whelming?'" (Al-Ghashiyah). [24] It was narrated that Jabir said: "Muadh stood up and prayed Isha', and made it lengthy. The Prophet said: 'Do you want to cause hardship to the people, O Mu'adh; do you want to cause hardship to the people O Mu'adh? Why didn't you recite Glorify the Name of your Lord Most High (Al-Ala) or Ad-Dhuha or; When the heaven is cleft asunder?"[25][26] Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: “When the following was revealed: ‘So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great',[69:52] the Messenger of Allah said to us: ‘Say this in your Ruku'.' And when the following was revealed: ‘Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High.'[87:1] the Messenger of Allah said to us: ‘Say this in your prostrations.'”[27]

Sh. Kamal El Mekki talks about the most detailed story of the Prophet (ﷺ) in the Makkan part of the seerah.

Abdullah ibn Masood (ra) Session 23 Ibn Ummi Abd - The Son of The Mother of The Servant The Jurist of This Ummah The Master of The Secrets Abo Jahl acknowled that The Messenger ﷺ was indeed a Messenger. Abo Jahl prevented many from embracing Islam. The ones who abused The Messenger ﷺ during the early Makkan phase lay dead at Badr. The stark contrast between Abo Jahl and Ibn Masood (ra).

On the 28th night of Taraweeh Reflections, the Sheikh discusses the significance of Surah 'Abasa, which was revealed in Mecca during the Makkan era. The verses addressed (Surah 'Abasa - 1-16) an incident where Prophet Muhammad (saw) frowned and turned away from a blind man, Abdullah bin Umm Maktum, who had approached him seeking guidance on Islam. The Sheikh emphasizes that while the Prophet was not reprimanded for preaching to the leaders of the Quraysh, he was reminded to pay attention to those genuinely seeking knowledge and guidance. He further explains that the Surah serves as a reminder that honor and piety are in the eyes of Allah, and that people should be treated with respect regardless of their wealth, knowledge, or abilities. The Sheikh also notes that during the early years of Islam, the Prophet often approached people with authority in an attempt to spread the message more easily. He highlights that there is no compulsion in Islam and that individuals have the choice to accept or reject the Deen of Islam. The Sheikh concludes his reflection by praying for the listeners to gain a deeper understanding of the Quran and to make the most of Ramadan, seeking forgiveness and guidance from Allah(swt).

Al-Fath meaning: "Victory" , "Triumph" is the 48th chapter of the Qur'an with 29 verses The surah was revealed in Madinah in the sixth year of the Hijrah, on the occasion of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah between the Muslim city-state of Madinah and Makkan polytheists. It mentions this victory, then criticizes the attitudes of the hypocrites, continues with further promises to the Muslims, and ends by mentioning certain important virtues of the Muslim community The chapter gets its name from the opening verse, which states "Indeed, We have granted you a clear triumph..." in direct reference to the Treaty which was signed through cooperation between the opposing forces and without bloodshed. The reason this treaty, and therefore chapter, is called a "clear triumph" is largely believed to be because of its peaceful nature Summary Mecca mentioned in Quranic manuscript Codex Arabe 331 (Q48:24) 1-3 The victory (at Ḳhaibar) the earnest of the pardon of the sins of the Prophet 4-7 The mighty God the comforter of true believers, but the punisher of hypocrites 8-10 Loyalty to Muhammad is loyalty to God 11-14 Bedouin Arabs denounced for their treachery at Hudaibiyah and their subsequent hypocrisy 15-16 The Bedouin Arabs refused a share of the booty taken at Ḳhaibar, but encouraged with promises 17 Those alone excused from going to war who are incapacitated 18-19 Muslim fidelity at Hudaibiyah rewarded by the victory at Ḳhaibar and much spoil taken there 20-24 Many spoils assured to the believers though God had prevented the plunder of Makkah 25-26 God spared Makkah in the expedition to Hudaibiyah out of compassion 27-29 The conquest of Makkah the divine attestation to Muhammad's apostleship and the religion of Islam Predictions God would help the believers and favor them with great victories; those who stayed behind from the Campaign of Minor Pilgrimage would try to excuse themselves with false pretexts; they would desire to participate in the campaign against Khaybar that was to take place following the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah with the aim of taking gains of war; the Muslims would have to fight against powerful tribes or states in the future; the Muslims would take abundant war-gains in battles to come in the future; the Prophet Muhammad and his Companions would visit the Ka'bah in safety, thus completing the Minor Pilgrimage the year after they had intended; God would complete His favor upon the Messenger; Islam would continue to flourish so powerfully and speedily that it would amaze both Muslims and others

Surah Al-Anbiyaa Verse 98-103 Session 29 The infidels and their false deities are the "Hasab" for the Hellfire. How the Makkan ibn Az-Zibara was dumb-founded after trying to trip up The Messenger ﷺ. The horrifying way in which the unbelievers will arrive in hellfire. A glimpse into the reassurance given to the believer upon the blowing of the Horn for the last time.

Saad ibn Abi Waqqas (ra). Session 4 The Cavalier of Islam. The boycott during the early Makkan period. The pagans spot the sahaba praying on a mountain pass. 'I was the 7th of the 7th with the Messenger ﷺ.'

As-Saffat (Arabic: الصافات, 'aṣ-ṣāffāt, meaning: Those who rank themselves in Order,[1] "Ranged in Row", "The Rangers") is the 37th chapter of the Qur'an with 182 verses. The name is derived from the word was saaffat with which the Surah begins Period of Revelation The subject matter and the style show that this Surah probably was sent down in the middle of the Makkan period, or perhaps in the last stage of the middle Makkan period. The style clearly indicates that antagonism is raging strong in the background and the Holy Prophet and his Companions are passing through very difficult and discouraging circumstances Sura 37 could be divided into three parts following one characteristic of Arabic Poetry widely known as tripartite division.[4] The first part goes from verses 1 to 74, the second part from 75 to 148 and the last part from 149 to 182. The most instructive of the historical narratives presented in this Surah is the important event of the pious life of the Prophet Abraham, who became ready to sacrifice his only son as soon as he received an inspiration from Allah. In this there was a lesson not only for the disbelieving Quraish, who waxed proud of their blood relationship with him, but also for the Muslims who had believed in Allah and His Messenger. By narrating this event they were told what is the essence and the real spirit of Islam, and how a true believer should be ready to sacrifice his all for the pleasure and approval of Allah after he has adopted it as his Faith and Creed. The first part goes from verse 1 to 74 with eschatological prophecy as central theme[5] but could be divided into two sub-parts: 1-10 and 11-74. 37:75-148 Earlier messengers of God 149-182 Day of Judgment Main article: Day of Judgment in Islam The last verses of the Surah were not only a warning for the disbelievers but also a good news for the believers who were passing through highly unfavorable and discouraging conditions on account of their supporting and following the Holy Prophet In these verses they were given the good news that they should not be disheartened at the hardships and difficulties they had to encounter in the beginning, for in the end they alone would attain dominance, and the standard bearers of falsehood, who appeared to be dominant at the time would be overwhelmed and vanquished at their hands. A few years later the turn the events took, proved that it was not an empty consolation but an inevitable reality of which they had been foretold in order to strengthen their hearts.

Abdur Rehman ibn Awf (ra) Session 1 A description of this noble man, tall, athletic build, fair, thick hair, large eyes and handsome. The lineage of Abdur Rehman (ra) which is linked to both the parents of The Prophet ﷺ. The twin sister of Abdullah (rah), Al Bayda (Umm Hakim) is the grandmother of Uthmaan (ra). The mothers of the elite Sahaba all embraced Islam during the early Makkan period. As-Shifaa (ra) the mother of Abdur Rehman (ra) helped deliver the The Prophet ﷺ.

The Makkan pagan, Abu Sufyan's wife, Hind, promises to release the slave by the name of Wahshi, if he can kill Hamza, one of the favourite Uncle of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

The Muslims of Madinah and Makkah reach a pinnacle in the true meaning of the word brotherhood in Islam. The Prophet, peace be upon him, starts to also pair the Makkans together with their other Makkan so that they become brothers. It seems only Ali has not been paired and he cries in sadness. This is Day 146 out of 365 days of stories of the greatest man in the world, our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

This is a Makkan sura with 111 verses. It points to the Miracle journey that the prophet was given by God. Going from the mosque in makkah to the mosque in Jerusalem in one night. The sura starts with glorifying God and ends with The greatness of God. And between the beginning and ending we have Storytelling , a comfort for the prophet Mohammed. The children of Israel and their scripture. Storytelling of past history of prophets and their people is a lesson for us to learn. History teaches us to be better humans and choose better outcomes from previous generations. The prophet used to read this sura every night before he went to sleep. It has repetitions of blessings , ones of God, rules for believers to follow and the glory of the words of God in the Quran. There is a beautiful verse that I use when entering any place.

Ibrāhīm [1] (Arabic: إبراهيم‎, "Abraham") is the 14th chapter of the Qur'an with 52 verses. The surah emphasizes that only God knows what goes on inside a man's heart, implying we must accept each other's words in good faith.(14:38)[2] Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. This chapter's name is Surah Ibrahim (Arabic) or Chapter of Abraham (English). Surahs of the Quran are not always named after their thematic content, but in this case a large section of the surah (ayat 35-41) focus on a prayer of Abraham's, which reveals the quality of Abraham's character. Time of Revelation It shows up from the tone of the Surah that it has a place with that group of the Surahs which were revealed during the last phase of the Makkan time frame. For example, v. 13 ("The disbelievers cautioned their Messengers, 'you will need to come back to our community or we will certainly remove you from our territory'") clearly shows that the mistreatment of the Muslims was at its peak at the hour of the revealing of this Surah, and the individuals of Makkah were set on ousting the Believers from that point like the disbelievers of the previous Prophets. That is the reason in v. 14 they have been cautioned, "We will annihilate these evildoers," and the Believers have been comforted similar to the believers before them, "and after them settle you in the land" Likewise the harsh admonition contained in the finishing up partition (vv. 43-52 likewise affirms that the Surah identifies with the last phase of the Makkan Period.) Focal Theme This Surah is a caution and an admonition to the disbelievers who were dismissing the message of Muhammad and concocting cunning plans to crush his Mission. Be that as it may, notice, impugning, scold and rebuke overwhelm admonition. This is on the grounds that a decent arrangement of reprimand had just been made in the preceding Surahs, however notwithstanding this their stiff necked attitude, ill will, opposition, wickedness, abuse and so on had rather expanded.

Yusuf (Arabic: يُوسُف‎, Yūsuf, "Joseph") is the 12th chapter of the Quran and has 111 Ayahs (verses).[1] It is preceded by sūrah Hud and followed by Ar-Ra'd (The thunder). Regarding the timing and contextual background of the supposed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it was revealed toward the end of the Makkan period,[2] which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. It is said to have been revealed in a single sitting and is unique in this respect.[3] The text narrates the story of Yusuf (Joseph) who is considered a prophet in Islam, whose life and mission it recounts. Unlike the accounts of other Islamic prophets,[4] different elements and aspects of which are related in different surahs, the life-history of Yusuf, is narrated in this surah only, in full and in chronological order.[2][5] This surah, which also tells of the truth, according to Muslims, contained in dreams, presents many principles of how to serve Islam by relating the life-history of a prophet, who became the most renowned and respected figure in the country to which he had been sold as a slave.[2] The surah was first translated into Latin by Thomas van Erpe in 1617 and later in the 17th century published synoptically in Arabic and Latin as part of the Lutheran efforts at translating the Qur'an.[6] The faith of the Prophets[edit] The faiths of the Prophets before Muhammad were the same as his. Prophets Ibrahim, Ishaaq, Ya'qūb and Yūsuf invited the people to the same message as Muhammad.[16] Throughout the story of Yūsuf, Allah taught the believers that a person who possesses true Islamic character can master the world with the strength of their character. The example of the Prophet Yūsuf shows that a person of high and pure character can overcome severe circumstances and be successful.

Jum'ah khutba - Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad - Cambridge - 24 October 2014 - 20 mins 4 secsTRANSCRIPTION PENDING'And whoever migrates in the path of Allah shall find abundant recompense and breadth.' (Surah al-Nisa, Verse 100)On the last day of the year the Sheikh describes some heroic events in the Sira of the Blessed Prophet, which is divided into the Makkan and the Madinan periods by the Hijra. Unlike the Exodus, which ended with divine punishment, the Hijra brings an age of forgiveness and hospitality and charity. The example of Asma bint Abi Bakr shows Islam's generosity of spirit, and its complete rejection of the values of the Jahiliyya.Listen to this talkDownload this talk (MP3, 9.18MB)
