Responding to Some Points Raised By Ibn Khaldun (Part 2)

Religion and the state

One of the crucial questions which is available in the domain of language and theology, and regarded as language principals and that of religious government is that religion, because of its universality , has law and rule and has been sent to manage social affairs.

AL-LAIL (Night)

The Surah takes its name from the wordwal-lail with which it opens.

AL- MUJADALAH (The pleading woman)

This Surah is entitled Al Mujadalah as well as Al Mujadilah, the title being derived from the word tujadiluka of the very first verse. As at the outset mention has been made of the woman who pleaded with the Holy Prophet (upon whom be Allah's peace) the case of zihar pronounced by her husband and urged him to suggest a way out of the difficult situation in order to save her and, her children's life from ruin, and Allah has described her pleading by the word "mujadalah", the Surah came to be known by this very title. If it is read as "mujadalah",it would mean "pleading and arguing", and if it is read as "mujadilah", it would mean "the woman who pleaded and argued."

Standing against Racial and Ethnic Discrimination and Biases

The holy Prophet of Islam welcomed Salman who was an Iranian and Bilal al-Habashi with open arms in the same manner as he welcomed Abuzar Ghaffari, Meqdad bin Aswad Kandy and Ammar Yaser; since Salman was able to excel others, the Prophet said: “Salman is a member of my holy household.”‌[1]

The Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUH) is superior to all the prophets

Imam Jafar Sadiq (A.S) narrates that whenever Jibrael visited the Prophet (PBUH), he used to sit politely like a slave. He never entered without obtaining the permission of the Prophet (PBUH)

Fatir (Originator)

The word Fatir of the first very verse is the title given to this Surah which simply means that it is a Surah in which the word Fatir has occurred. The other name is Al- Malaika (The Angels) which also occurs in the first verse.

Saba' (Sheba)

The Surah takes its name from verse 15 in which the word Saba has occurred which implies that it is the Sura in which mention has been made of Saba (i. e. the Sabeans).

Mu'minun (Believers)

The surah takes its name Al-Mu'minun from the first verse.

Hajj

This Surah takes its name from v. 27.
