With regard to order of Holy Qur’an, this is twenty third
Chapter. It contains six Sections. Its name is Suratul- Mu’-minuun
because this word has been used in its first verse. Moreover, ‘Al-Mu’-minuun
means “The Believers”. Attributes, habits and manners of the Believers have
been explained in this Chapter. It has been narrated in this chapter that
success of the both worlds is for the Believers only.
This Chapter was revealed in Makkah at that time when the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was near to fly for Madinah.
In this connection, it is the last Chapter which was revealed in Makkah.
It has been commanded to the Believers that they should worship Allaah
Almighty and do the works of the world by remaining in the limits fixed by Allaah
Almighty. Correct way of offering prayer has been described and the people have
been induced that they should produce good manners among themselves. Result of
it will be that they will succeed in the both worlds and gain peace in the
perpetual life after death for always. For education of the same, Allaah
Almighty sent His Prophets (peace be upon them). Summary of those instructions
have been recorded in Holy Qur’an, which is the last Scripture for
guidance of the mankind. Allaah Almighty revealed this last Scripture
unto His last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) and finished the lineage of sending Prophets and Messengers. For the
worship of Allaah Almighty, knowing Him carefully is necessary. And every
intelligent individual can acquire this knowledge from the portents of Allaah
Almighty which have been spreading in the entire world. In this connection,
Prophets of Allaah Almighty and His Scriptures are compulsory for the
help of the mankind’s sense.
In this Chapter, after mentioning concerning Noah, Moses, Aaron
and Jesus (peace be upon them), summary of the teachings of Allaah’s
Messengers (peace be upon them) has been described. Believers of the Messengers
(peace be upon them) acquired higher ranks but their disbelievers were
disgraced. After causing to understand the necessity of believing in the Messengers
(peace be upon them), it has been explained that having belief in the life
after death, reckoning of accounts, punishment and retribution of deeds are
compulsory also.
Then it has been described that the mankind, who will not believe
in Allaah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon him), life after death, the accounts, the heaven and the hell, he will
grieve after death on the Day of Resurrection. At the end, it has been caused
to know the mankind that his life of this world is not a play. He should not
spend his time in needless and useless matters, but act upon the commandments
of Holy Qur’an considering them true, and pray before Allaah
Almighty continuously for His Mercy and Forgiveness.
