Surah Al Muminoon CLASS 14 – RAMADAN 14, 1435
Surah Al Muminoon, Class 14
PAGE 1
Surah Al Muminoon
Surah Al Muminoon is a Makki Surah revealed before Hijra of the Prophet SAW. It was revealed to strengthen the believers and to keep them firm on the faith. In this Surah, Allah is telling us about all of His signs to strengthen the belief.
Allah is the supporter of the believers. The believers do not believe their eyes or anything around them. They only believe in Allah. Though the believers in the time of Nuh are a minority but Allah saved them. They are the first believers are on the earth. Before them everyone is a believers. We understand the value of the believers when there is disbelief. Allah saved the believers because of their belief.
Today we will conclude the story of Prophet Nuh A.S and start with the story of Prophet Saleh A.S.
Surah Al Muminoon, Class 14

SECTION IV: STORY OF PROPHET NUH (AYAH 23 -‐30)
Ayah 30
“Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].”
ت ـ means إإنن فى ذذٲلك أليی “Verily in this (Story) are Ayat”
What are the Ayat (signs / indicators)? The signs and indicators are showing ال االهھ ااال هللا
The story of Prophet Nuh is a sign / indicators telling us that:
! No one can save us except Allah. No one will give us the victory except Allah, no one will give us the good end except Allah, and No one can give us the inspiration except Allah. We should not attach to anyone out of love and magnify except Allah because of His Perfection
! It is a sign and indication that Nuh is a messenger of Allah. Nuh is calling the people to Allah and the disbelievers are not treating him right and they belied him. Then Allah inspired Nuh on what to do. What does it mean that he is a messenger of Allah? This means Allah will support Nuh, grant him the victory and give him the good end.
! It is a sign that people of Nuh were liars because of their false accusations against Allah and His messenger. Allah destroyed the people of Nuh because they were the wrong-‐ doers, they disbelieved.
Surah Al Muminoon, Class 14

! It is a sign that Allah will always save the believer. This is consistent every time and we need to trust and believe this although the disbelievers may be in majority
! It is a sign that Allah will destroy the disbelievers. ! The ship is one of the signs of Allah– it is an inspiration of Allah because the concept of
“ship” did not exist before.
It is absolutely necessary that we must believe in these Ayat
means ووإإنن كنا لمبتليین “And Indeed we are testing you”
,means إإنن “ Surely”, “Indeed”. This is for affirmation
لمبتليین means, “ testing ( our servants)”.
After mentioning that Ayat are signs for us in order to increase you in faith, then Allah mentions that he is surely testing us. Allah created us and made us to live in this life in order that we maybe tested for our belief in Allah. The subject of our test is our belief in Allah. This is why we need to increase our belief otherwise we will fail the test. We need to increase in our faith and knowledge in order to succeed in the test. The different situations we go through in our life are a test for our belief.

SECTION V: STORY OF PROPHET SALEH (AYAH 31-‐41)
Ayah 31
“Then We produced after them a generation of others.”
ثم means “after a while”. This shows sequence but with time. This indicates a passage of time passed.
means أأنشأنا “we produced” This means a new creation came forth. Although the creation was already started with Adam A.S. Our default is to belief. The believers are in harmony with the universe. The default is belief which is natural, but then after that disbelief, which is something odd emerged. So when this happens, Allah sends the messengers and more signs, may Allah protect us.
Before Nuh people were disbelieving, then Allah destroyed all the disbelievers. Then again there was disbelief after a certain passage of time. Because of the disbelief they were a different creation. This is about the people of Thamud to whom Prophet Saleh was sent. The people of Thamud disturbed the harmony of the universe as they changed their nature from belief to disbelief. Allah wants to save them so He sent them Saleh A.S as messenger
means من بعدهھھھم “after them”. This means after the People of Nuh A.S.
means قرنا ءااخريین “another people”. These are the people of Saleh A.S. i.e. Thamud.
Surah Al Muminoon, Class 14
PAGE 5
Why does it mention that they are another creation?
This is because they emerged as disbelievers and that is odd. There were so many signs were sent to them, but they failed their tests. Allah wanted to save them, so he sent a messenger i.e. Saleh A.S. to them.
Ayah 32
“And We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?".”
نہم فأ means ررسلنا فيیہم ررسوال م “And We sent among them a messenger from themselves”
When someone disbelieves Allah sends signs to bring them back to faith. This is because Allah wants us to succeed. If a person does not see the signs and he is failing then Allah will send extra signs in the form of a messenger.
فأررسلنا means “And We sent” The “We” refers to Allah. This shows Allah’s action. This is nurturing from Allah as it is action of Allah. Allah wants the humanity to go back to Him. It is out of Allah’s mercy we are by default believers, disbelief is odd– the Duniya is filled with Ayat, so you cannot make mistakes the answers, they are everywhere, And if the people still fails these tests, Allah out of his mercy will still send a messenger to the people.
,means فيیہم “ in them”.
,means ررسوال “Messenger”. This refers to Saleh. Allah sent messenger to remove the disbelief.
نہم م means, “ of them”
Surah Al Muminoon, Class 14
PAGE 6
Prophet Saleh is from the people of Thamud.
أأنن ٱٱعبدوواا ٱٱ# means, “ worship Allah”
We need to humble and humiliate ourselves to Allah. This is the same message as Nuh A.S. The message is same for all messengers, which is to worship Allah alone.
هھ غيیرهه ـ ن إإل ,means ما لكم م “ You have no other ilah but Allah”. This is ال االهھ ااال هللا
,means أأفال تتقونن “Will you not have Taqwa?” We need to have Taqwa for the one we worship.
These are our actions to worship Allah, to have no other ilah besides Allah and to taqwa in our worship
Surah Al Muminoon, Class 14

Ayah 33
“And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.
,means ووقالل ٱٱلمأل من قومهھ ٱٱلذيین كفروواا “ And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved”
If we compare it to the story of Nuh we see that in both the stories the Chiefs are speaking. They are the leaders who want the power, which is why they object.
In the story of Nuh the chiefs spoke immediately. This is because the فف is used.
In the story of Saleh the chiefs spoke after some time This is because the وو is used.
Also in the story of Nuh the word كفروواا is preceding قومهھ , this shows emphasis when كفروواا is brought forward because the people of Nuh were the first disbelievers on earth.
In the story of Saleh is قومهھ mentioned first. This is because the intensity of disbelief is different with the people of Nuh versus the people of Saleh.
