Nazool e Quran Ka Aik Maqsid

Book Name:Nazool e Quran Ka Aik Maqsid

And ˹Dear Prophet,˺ warn your close relatives.[1]

The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then gathered the Quraysh and addressed each tribe separately:

O Banū KaꜤb! Save yourselves from Hell! O Banū Murrah! save yourselves from Hell! O Banū ꜤAbd Shams! Save yourselves from Hell! O Banū ꜤAbd Manāf! Save yourselves from Hell! O Banū Hashim! Save yourselves from Hell! And, O Banū ꜤAbd al-Muṭṭalib! Save yourselves from Hell!

Indeed, I hold no power ˹directly from myself˺ to protect you from Allah's punishment.[2]

This was the very first public invitation to Islam given by our Prophet    صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

And what was his message? "Save yourselves from Hell!" From the very beginning, he instilled the fear of Allah in people's hearts. This fear of Allah is what transformed the corrupt society of the pre-Islamic period into the most exemplary nation ever known. It became a social system so noble and upright, that no other civilisation in history can compare. That eminent society remains the best model for all until the Day of Judgement. This proves that instilling the fear of Allah is the most important foundation for reforming and improving ourselves.

A Major Cause of Evil in Society

O those who love Allah’s Messenger! As a fact, if we all feared Allah as we should, the world around us would be different. Evils would disappear, places of sin would be left deserted, and it our surroundings would be a reflection of Paradise on Earth.
