The 108th chapter of the Noble Qurʾān, Sūrat Al-Kauṯar, recited by Shaikh Badr Al-Turki.

Name:
The chapter has been titled after the word "al-kauṯar" occurring in the first verse.

Theme and Subject Matter:
The disbelieving Quraiš used to say: "Muhammad ﷺ is cut off from his community and reduced to a powerless and helpless individual." Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq says: "Whenever the Prophet ﷺ was mentioned before Al-ʿĀs ibn Wāʾil, the chief of Makkah, he used to say: Leave him alone for he is only a childless man (abtar) with no male offspring. When he dies, there will be no one to remember him." (Reported by Ibn Jarīr). Ibn Saʿad and Ibn ʿAsākir have related that ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAbbās said: "The eldest son of the Prophet ﷺ was Al-Qāsim; next to him was Zainab, next to her ʿAbdullāh and next to him three daughters: Umme Kulṯūm, Fāṭimah and Ruqayyah. Of them, first Al-Qāsim died and then ʿAbdullāh. Thereupon Al-ʿĀs ibn Wāʾil said: "His line has come to an end; now he is abtar (i.e., cut off from the root)." Abū Jahl also had said similar words on the death of the Prophet's son, ʿAbdullāh.

Such were the disturbing conditions under which Sūrat Al-Kauṯar was sent down. The Quraiš were angry with him because he worshipped and served only Allāh and repudiated their idolatry publicly. For this very reason, he was deprived of the rank, esteem and honour that he enjoyed among his people before Prophethood and was now cut off from his community. The handful of his companions were helpless, poor people who were also being persecuted and tyrannised. The Prophet ﷺ was grieved by the death of his two sons, one after the other, whereas the near relatives and the people of his clan were rejoicing and uttering such words which were disheartening and disturbing for a noble person who had treated even his enemies most kindly. At this, Allāh, in just one sentence of this brief chapter, gave him the good news - better news than which has never been given to any man in the world. It will be his opponents who will be cut off from their roots and not him.

The 107th chapter of the Noble Qurʾān, Sūrat Al-Māʿūn, recited by Shaikh Badr Al-Turki.

Name:
The chapter has been titled so after the word "al-māʿūn" occurring at the end of the last verse.

Theme and Subject Matter:
Its theme is to point out what kind of morals a man develops when he refuses to believe in the Hereafter. In verses 2-3, the condition of the disbelievers who openly deny the Hereafter has been described, and in the last four verses the state of those hypocrites who apparently are Muslims but have no idea of the Hereafter, its judgment, and the meting out of rewards and punishments accordingly has been described. On the whole, the object of depicting the attitude and conduct of two kinds of people is to impress the point that man cannot develop a strong, stable and pure character in himself unless he believes in the Hereafter.

The 106th chapter of the Noble Qurʾān, Sūrat Quraiš, recited by Shaikh Badr Al-Turki.

Name:
The chapter has been titled after the word "Quraiš" in the very first verse.

Theme and Subject Matter:
As all this was well known in the time of the Prophet's appointment to Prophethood, there was no need to mention it in the chapter. That is why in the four brief sentences of this chapter, Quraiš were simply asked to consider: When you yourselves acknowledge this House (i e. the Kaʿbah) to be Allāh's House, and not of the idols, and when you fully well know that it is Allāh alone who has granted you peace by virtue of this House, made your trade and commerce flourish and saving you from destitution favoured you with prosperity, you should then worship and serve Him alone.

বিজয় দেওয়ার মালিক আল্লাহ্। অতঃপর তিনি যাকে ইচ্ছা, তাকে বিজয়ী করেন।
কিন্তু মানুষ বড়ই অকৃতজ্ঞ।

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ
নিশ্চয়ই মানুষ তার রবের প্রতি বড়ই অকৃতজ্ঞ।

The 105th chapter of the Noble Qurʾān, Sūrat Al-Fīl, recited by Shaikh Badr Al-Turki.

Name:
The chapter derives its name from the word "aṣḥāb al-fīl" in the very first verse.

Theme and Subject Matter:
If Sūrat Al-Fīl is studied in the light of the historical details given above, one can fully understand why in this chapter only Allāh's inflicting His punishment on the people of the elephant has been referred to and described so briefly. It was an event of recent occurrence, and everyone in Makkah and Arabia was fully aware of it. The Arabs believed that the Kaʿbah had been protected in this invasion not by any god or goddess but by Allāh Almighty Himself. Then Allāh alone had been invoked by the Quraiš chiefs for help, and for quite a few years the people of Quraiš, having been impressed by this event, had worshipped none but Allāh. Therefore, there was no need to mention the details in Sūrat Al-Fīl, but only a reference to it was enough so that the people of Quraiš in particular, and the people of Arabia in general, should consider well in their hearts the message that the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ was giving. For the only message that he gave was that they should worship and serve none but Allāh, the Only and One. Then, they should also consider that if they used force to suppress this invitation to the truth, they would only be inviting the wrath of Allāh, Who had so completely defeated and destroyed the people of the elephants.

The 104th chapter of the Noble Qurʾān, Sūrat Al-Humazah, recited by Shaikh Badr Al-Turki.

Name:
The chapter takes its name from the word "humazah" occurring in the first verse.

Theme and Subject Matter:
In the chapter, some of the evils prevalent among the materialistic hoarders of wealth in the pre-Islamic days have been condemned. Every Arab knew that these evils genuinely existed in their society; they regarded them as evils, and nobody thought they were good. After Allāh calls attention to this kind of ugly character, the ultimate end in the Hereafter of the people with this kind of character has been stated. Both these things (i.e., the character and his fate in the Hereafter) have been depicted in a way which makes the listener automatically reach the conclusion that such a man deserves to meet such an end, and since people of such character do not suffer any punishment in the world, but seem to be thriving instead, the occurrence of the Hereafter becomes absolutely inevitable.

If this chapter is read in the sequence of the chapters beginning with Az-Zalzalah, one can fully understand how the fundamental beliefs of Islam and its teachings were impressed on the people's minds in the earliest stages in Makkah. In Sūrat Az-Zalzalah, it was said that in the Hereafter man's full record will be placed before him and not an atom's weight of good or evil done by him in the world will have been left unrecorded. In Sūrat Al-ʿĀdiyāt, attention was drawn to the plunder and loot, bloodshed and vandalism, prevailing in Arabia before Islam, making the people realise that the way the powers given by Allāh were being abused was indeed an expression of sheer ingratitude to Him. They were told that the matter would not end up in the world, but in the second life after death, with not only their deeds but their intentions and motives also being examined. They were informed that their Lord fully well knows which of them deserves reward or punishment. In Sūrat Al-Qāriʿah after depicting Resurrection, the people were warned that in the Hereafter a man's good or evil end will be dependent on whether the scale of his good deeds was heavier, or the scale of his evil deeds was; in Sūrat At-Takāṯur the people were taken to task for the materialistic mentality due to which they remained occupied in seeking increase in worldly benefits, pleasures, comforts and position, and in vying with one another for abundance of everything until death overtook them. Then, warning them of the evil consequences of their heedlessness, they were told that the world was not an open table of food for them to pick and choose whatever they pleased, but for every single blessing that they were enjoying in the world, they would have to render an account to their Lord and Sustainer as to how they obtained it and how they used it. In Sūrat Al-ʿAṣr, it was declared that each member, each group and each community of mankind, even the entire world of humanity, was in manifest loss, if its members were devoid of Faith and righteous deeds and of the practice of exhorting others to truth and patience. Immediately after this comes Sūrat Al-Humazah, in which, after presenting a specimen of leadership of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, the people have been asked the question: "What should such a character deserve if not loss and perdition?"

The 103rd chapter of the Noble Qurʾān, Sūrat Al-ʿAṣr, recited by Shaikh Badr Al-Turki.

Name:
The chapter takes its name from the word "al-ʿaṣr" occurring in the first verse.

Theme and Subject Matter:
This chapter is an inimitable specimen of comprehensiveness and brevity. A whole world of meaning has been compressed into its few brief words, which is too vast in content to be fully expressed even in a book. In the chapter, in a clear and plain way, the way to true success for man and the way to ruin and destruction for him have both been stated. Imām Aš-Šāfīʿī has very rightly said that if the people only considered this chapter well, it alone would suffice them for their guidance. How important this chapter was in the sight of the companions can be judged from the tradition cited from ʿAbdullāh bin Ḥiṣn ad-Dārimī Abū Madīnah, according to which whenever any two of them met, they would not part company until they had recited Sūrat Al-ʿAṣr to each other [aṭ-Ṭabarānī].
