All of these Surahs start by mentioning the value and greatness of the Qur’an:In Surat Fussilat, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “Ha-Mim. A revelation from(Allah), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful” (TMQ, 41:1 & 2).In Surat Ash-Shura, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “Ha-Mim. ‘Ain-Sin-Qaf.Likewise Allah, the All Mighty, the All Wise sends Revelation to you (O Muhammad)as (He sent Revelation to) those before you” (TMQ, 42: 1 & 2 & 3).In Surat Az-Zukhruf, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “Ha-Mim. By themanifest Book (i.e. this Qur’an that makes things clear). (TMQ, 43:1& 2).In Surat Ad-Dukhan, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “Ha-Mim. By themanifest Book (this Qur’an) that makes things clear” (TMQ, 44:1& 2).In Surat Al-Jathiyah, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “Ha-Mim. The revelationof the Book (this Qur’an) is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.” (TMQ, 45:1 &2).In Surat Al-Ahqaf, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “Ha-Mim. The revelationof the Book (this Qur’an) is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.” (TMQ, 46:1&2).2. The story of Musa (AS) and the Israelites:In Surat Fussilat, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “And indeed We gave Musa(Moses) the Scripture, but dispute arose therein.” (TMQ, 41:45).In Surat Az-Zukhruf, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as “And indeed We did sendMusa (Moses) with Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)to Fir’aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs (inviting them to Allah’s religion of Islam)” (TMQ,43:46).In Surat Ad-Dukhan, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “And indeed We triedbefore them Fir’aun’s (Pharaoh) people, when there came to them a noble Messenger[i.e. Musa (Moses)], Saying: “Deliver to me the slaves of Allah (i.e. the Children ofIsrael). Verily, I am to you a Messenger worthy of all trust.” (TMQ, 44:17 &18), and“And indeed We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment” (TMQ,44:3).In Surat Al-Jathiyah, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “And indeed We gave theChildren of Israel the Scripture, and the understanding of the Scripture and its laws,and the Prophethood” (TMQ, 45:16).In Surat Al-Ahqaf, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “And before this was theScripture of Musa (Moses) as a guide and a mercy.” (TMQ, 46:12).The story of Musa (AS) is the most frequently mentioned story in the Holy Qur’an. Onemight wonder what the reason behind that is. In fact, it is because the story of Musa (AS)contains two main points. The first is his relationship with firaawn (Pharaoh: the king of
ancient Egypt), which represented one of the strongest confrontations in the struggle betweengood and evil. The second is his relationship with the Israelites who were the last nation tolead humanity before Muhammad’s (SAWS) nation. Hence, this story is important so that theMuslim nation could learn from their predecessors’ mistakes and from their manner ofguiding humanity.3. Transferring the Book (Message) from the preceding nation (the Israelites) toMuhammad’s nation:Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “He (Allah) has ordained for you the samereligion (Islâmic Monotheism) which He ordained for Nuh (Noah), and that which Wehave revealed to you (O Muhammad), and that which We ordained for Ibrahim(Abraham), Musa (Moses) and ‘Isa (Jesus) saying you should establish religion (i.e. todo what it orders you to do practically), and make no divisions in it (religion) (i.e.various sects in religion).” (TMQ, 42:13).This Surah includes an important ayah, which can be translated as, “…you should establishreligion (i.e. to do what it orders you to do practically” This ayah is the central point of allthe Hawamim Surahs. How is this so? that is what we will see once we understand thepurpose of all the Surahs.The following ayahs also convey the same meaning:In Surat Al-Jathiyah, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “Then We have put you(O Muhammad) on a (plain) way of (Our) commandment [like the one which Wecommanded Our Messengers before you (i.e. legal ways and laws of the IslâmicMonotheism)]. So follow you that (Islâmic Monotheism and its laws),” (TMQ, 45:18).In Surat Az-Zukhruf, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “And verily this (theQur’an) is indeed a Reminder for you (O Muhammad) and your people (Quraishpeople, or your followers), and you will be questioned (about it).” (TMQ, 43:44).In Surat Al-Ahqaf, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “And before this was theScripture of Musa (Moses) as a guide and a mercy. And this is a confirming Book (theQur’an) in the Arabic language.” (TMQ, 46:12).4. Unity and the danger of division:In Surat Fussilat, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “And indeed We gave Musa(Moses) the Scripture, but dispute arose therein” (TMQ, 41:45).In Surat Ash-Shura, Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, “ He (Allah) has ordainedfor you the same religion (Islâmic Monotheism) which He ordained for Nuh (Noah),and that which We have revealed to you (O Muhammad), and that which We ordainedfor Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses) and ‘Isa (Jesus) saying you should establishreligion (i.e. to do what it orders you to do practically), and make no divisions in it(religion) (i.e. various sects in religion).” “And they divided not till after knowledge hadcome to them, through (selfish) transgression between themselves “(TMQ, 42:13 & 14).
