Sura light

Light sura The calf I stomach chosen to analyse for my assignment is the Light calf. The reason I chose this Sura is that it deals with m all social issues that ar still very explicit in Moslem life today. It destines a very detailed view of what graven image expected of its bring home the baconers throughout the Sura and what punishment would be hand to them if they did several(prenominal)thing unwilling to Gods orders. Throughout the Sura a buckram meat is direct to the believers of Islam. A fair sex is used as an mannikin of someone who has sinned n a terrible and unlawful way and this is described throughout the text.In my abstract of the Sura I am going to use key poetises that give a clear indication of what the passage is about and what clear messages is direct down from god. This is a medinan Sura that relates to the social values in the Muslim world. One of the main themes of this Sura is evolved around many regulations and laws of the Muslim society such as, marriage, obedience, modesty and the main on which is highlighted throughout this passage adultery. Muhammads married c slighting lady Aisha was falsely ccused of adultery which was associated as a huge crime in the Muslim world.Punishment was very harsh on anyone found guilty of these crimes, stock-still these strict ways also sent a message to the Islamic community that believers should never step out of line. This is clearly highlighted in verse 242, The adulterer and the adulteress scourge ye each one of them (with) a hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain withhold you from obedience to Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of believers incur their punishmentl.I think this punishment uggests that everyone is equal in the eyes of Allah and although Aisha is an term-honored woman and Muhammads wife, she is still punished the same. It is important in the eyes of Allah and the prophets that women are honourable and they are making an examp le of it in this Sura. Its very clear that this Sura focuses on the social values in the community and another example of this is shown in verse 2432, Marry off the single among you and those of your masculine and female hard workers who are (fit for marriage). If they are poor god, God will leave behind for them from his bountyGods bounty is infinite and he is all sharp2. It is Muhammads Job to vaticinate these messages to the Islamic community in the hope that following will heed to Gods message. Through that verse the message is clear that god wants men and woman to marry, but through marriage comes stability and maturity. It is evident that he wants muckle to marry so they arent idle all the epoch and so they wont nonplus trouble in the community. Simarily in verse 2433, those who are unavailing to marry should keep chaste until God gives them enough out of his bounty.If any of your slaves wish to pay for their freedom, make a contract with them, and give them some of th e wealth that God has given you. Do not force your slave girls into prostitution, when they themselves wish to remain honourable, in your quest for short term gains of this world, although, if they are forced, God will be forgiving and merciful to them3. This verse relates a jam to the move of Muhammad from when he grew up in Mecca. During this time, tribes had a lot of slaves working for them and they were usually mistreated.Prostitution was a way tor young woman acquire through lite as they could not get married. Muhammad sends a strong message in this text as he tries to preach to the owners of the slaves that it is against Gods teachings that this shield of behaviour should happen in this religion. This is a very smart message from Allah as it encourages people to marry and decreases the chances of trouble and violence by the Islamic followers. Muhammad is Allahs messenger and it is shown throughout the passage that he wants to keep the community unneurotic by reinforcing t he values rom the place (Mecca) they came from.Muhammad was born and raised in Mecca but moved to Medina. This sura relates a lot to the career of Muhammad as he brought followers to Medina when he moved. These were the people who emigrated in Gods way. At that time there were a lot of tribal wars happening due to divisions enforce by leaders. Muhammad was part of the Banu Hashim tribe and according to (Cook, 2000) the rival tribe Banu Abd Shams compel a boycott which the pagans for some two or three old age refused intermarriage or commercial dealings with the BanuHashims until such time as they came to their senses in the matter of Muhammad4. However many members of these groups converted to Muhammads religion. It is important to crease that in this sura, the message is very clear to Muhammads converts that there are laws to follow if you want to be part of the religion. I think it shows that Muhammads past is evident in this passage by his teaching. Another important piece of discipline highlighted throughout the Sura is to do with the one God phenomenon. It is repeated time and time throughout the Sura that God is of all nowing and doing.This is important to the career of Muhammad as he had to preach this to his followers on a nonchalant basis that there is one God and he is all knowing of your good and wrong deportment. This small but clever piece of paper made sure that the message of this Sura was clearly shown, as Muhammads followers would realise that God can see all your wrong doings which would permit them from thinking of committing a wrong deed as physical composition at the end of the Sura, verse 24 64, God has full intimacy of everything5.It is very clear from above that the career of Muhammad is evident throughout the Sura by the teachings relating back to the prophets past. In this Sura, Muhammad is preaching about how to become a good Islamic follower and the punishments that will happen if followers lean away from the laws.
