Foreword
Quran repeatedly talks about Al-Ma'rûf, all that Islâm orders one to do and Al-Munkar, all that Islâm has forbidden. These dos and don’ts are the fundamental and essential parts of Islamic teachings, which have been made mandatory for our daily lives. As Allah says in chapter Al-e-Imran-104; ‘Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good in Islâm, enjoining Al-Ma'rûf and forbidding Al-Munkar.’ And He intends His expectations from us in chapter Al-Hajj-41: ‘If We give them power in the land, they enjoin Salât, pay the Zakât, enjoin Al-Ma’rûf, and forbid Al-Munkar.’ Muslims’ uniqueness in the sight of Allah is mentioned in chapter Al-Tawbah-71; ‘The believers, men and women, are supporters of one another. They enjoin Al-Ma‘rûf, and forbid from Al-Munkar.’
Allah has created death and life, so that He may test you as to which of you is better in his deeds (Al-Mulk-2). Every soul has to taste death. It is on the Day of Judgment that you shall be paid your rewards in full. So, whoever has been kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has really succeeded. The worldly life is nothing but an illusionary enjoyment (Al-E-Imran-185).
Our routine life must be identical to these enjoined dos and don’ts and we need to correct our activities as and where required. This is the only way to ensure that we can be kept away from the Hell Fire and admitted to Paradise. Death is continuously calling us towards our own grave i.e. either a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a pit from the pits of Hell (Sunan Tirmizi). We need to wake up now, before we slept forever in our graves that may be like a garden of paradise or a pit of Hell for us.
Allah says in Soorat Al-Asr: Man is indeed in a state of loss except those who believed, did righteous deeds, exhorted each other to follow the truth, and exhorted each other to observe patience. Out of these four mandatory criteria, we normally do not practice for exhorting each other to follow the truth of Quran. This book is also providing us a way to fulfill this mandatory requirement. Readers can also take part in this noble cause by reprinting or distributing published books. Digital copy of the book is also available for electronic mail distribution.
About This Book
This book contains almost all such verses or its parts that directly or indirectly deals with the fundamental Islamic teaching of Dos (Al-Ma'rûf) and Don’ts (Al-Munkar), and are applicable to all of us till Day of Resurrection. Original source of each verse is also mentioned, which has made it easier to follow the reference of context. Key words that lead to the central message (Dos and Don’ts) have been written in bold to draw attention for a bird’s-eye view.
This book can be considered as an introduction to ‘The Message of Quran’. The Message of Quran is a topic-wise classification of all the 6236 orderly verses (Ayaat) of the Holy Quran along with additional but related headings on each paragraph. These headings are mentioned in the index of each part as well. The Message of Quran is separated into thirty parts, as the Holy Quran traditionally exists. This separation was intended only so that by reciting a part daily, we can complete the Holy Quran at least once in a month. Verses related to dos and don’ts in The Message of Quran have been written in bold. As The Message of Quran contains only English translation, hence ablution is not necessary to read it. Contrary to the traditional translations, this distinctive format of The Message of Quran makes it more friendly-reading for a common book reader.
Major compilation of the ‘Dos and Don’ts’ is from the English translation by Dr. Mohsin Khan. Few other translations were also referred where further clarifications were required.
