Day 3 Reading: Surah Āl ‘Imrān
Sūrah Āl ʿImrān, the third chapter of the Qur’ān, was revealed primarily in Madinah and serves as a continuation of the themes established in Sūrah al-Baqarah, particularly regarding divine guidance and the responsibilities of the Muslim ummah.
The sūrah begins by addressing Ahlul Kitāb, especially the Christians, refuting their theological errors concerning ʿĪsā (عليه السلام) and reaffirming Allah’s oneness. It highlights their covenant violations, warning believers against falling into similar failings.
The second half shifts focus to the Battle of Uḥud, drawing lessons about obedience, patience, and reliance on Allah.
The Sūrah reinforces monotheism, divine authority, and the necessity of steadfastness in faith throughout.
This Sūrah features pivotal theological and legal discussions, including the verses on Muhkam and Mutashābih, the verse of Mubāhalah, and the emphasis on Allah’s supreme authority. It concludes with a command for perseverance in faith, tying back to its opening supplication for steadfastness. The overarching message of Sūrah Āl ʿImrān is the establishment of tawḥīd and the responsibilities of divine legislation, particularly in upholding justice, truth, and dedication to Allah’s commands.

🖊️Imam al-Sa’dī (d. 1376 -رحمه الله-) outlines four essential benefits of mutual consultation:
"And consult them on the matter"—referring to issues that require consultation, consideration, and thought. In consultation, there are countless benefits, both religious and worldly:
If Allah instructs His Messenger ﷺ—who is the most complete in intellect, the broadest in knowledge, and the best in opinion—"And consult them on the matter," what can be said about others?
Then Allah, the Exalted, said: "And when you have made a decision"—that is, after considering a matter that requires consultation—"then place your trust in Allah." This signifies relying on Allah’s power and strength while relinquishing your own.
"Indeed, Allah loves those who rely upon Him and seek refuge in Him. "

Sh. Arafat al Muhammadi:
To the wise ones,
The believer is strengthened by his brothers, and Allah reinforces him through them. [As the Quran states,] “We will strengthen you with your brother” (Qur’an 28:35). Therefore, it is crucial to avoid isolating yourself from your brothers and belittling their efforts. Show patience with their mistakes and offer them sincere advice in private.
However, it is important to be aware that the devils among jinn and humans have the ability to sow discord between you and your brothers. Recall the supplication of Prophet Musa, peace be upon him, “My Lord, forgive me and my brother, and admit us into Your mercy” (Qur’an 7:151).
In light of this, we urge students of knowledge to strive for unity among the Muslim community. We encourage them to guide the youth towards seeking knowledge, emphasize the importance of creed and the books of Tawheed, teach people the Sunnah, and spread knowledge among them.
Additionally, we emphasize the need to avoid the seeds of division and all that leads to discord. We encourage students to refer back to the scholars and exercise patience with the ignorant.
[Lastly], we urge wise individuals to refrain from using social media as a platform to air their disputes.
