​Theme of the Surah

​

​This surah talks about the etiquettes of giving da’wah and showing us that it is very important that we learn how to tell others about Islam in a way that they will accept it. So when we read these ayahs we need to pause and contemplate.

In this surah there is a story of a blind man who was a poor man who came to ask about Islam while the Prophet (s) was talking to the people of high status in the society – the prophet was asking them to come to Islam because if they accepted Islam then the rest of the community would do so as well.

Sometimes we only give da’wah to those people to whom we think will accept Islam but this surah teaches us that we should give it to everyone.

This surah talks about 3 main things: 1. Story of blind man2. Power of Allah’s creation3. Resurrection – the horror of the day of judgement

• Islam is a religion that gives each person their due rights. There is no difference between the rich and poor and the strong and weak.

• The mission of the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم was to call people to the worship of Allah, and each person has the freedom of choice to accept or reject.

• Allah, attaches great value to believers.
