'Naas' surah like other surahs in Quran is unique and very special. It particularly mentions three names of Allah, talks about human-Allah relationship considering his needs, weaknesses and deficiencies, and reveals a lot of facts and true points about mankind in social substrates and in his encounter with the others which in the lack of some protection ends up with individual misleading and destruction (and consequently social misleading and destruction). Besides, it introduces the evil surrounding him to show the way and lead him to the safest status and protect him from all that evil.


In confrontation with Allah's names, in fact, you get informed about your own needs and deficiencies. Here in first three verses in 'Naas' surah, you face three names which are 'Rabben Naas', 'Maleken Naas' and 'Elahen Naas'. Each name reveals some secrets about human needs. 'Rab' is the only creator who is able to lead you to your perfection which is the highest degree you can reach considering your abilities and capacity. 'Malek' is the only King, Ruler and Owner, so human who is owned by Him should receive all his life's orders and instructions from Him. 'Elah' shows that human has this need deep inside himself to cherish, love and worship someone or something. However, the only One who deserves to be cherished, loved and worshipped is Allah who is people's only 'Elah' or God.


In the first verse, you see 'A`oozo' which means seek refuge, and then there is 'seek refuge with 'Rabben Naas', 'Maleken Naas' and 'Elahen Naas' that in fact has two parts of Rab-Malek-Elah and 'Naas'. So, 'Naas' which means people in confrontation with other people need to seek refuge with Naas's Rab, Malek and Elah who leads them to perfection, the correct instructions and the true love and connection through worship among the other 'Naas' who can mislead them.


In addition, there is another prominent point at the beginning of the first verse which is 'Ghol' that means express what in your inner side is with any possible means; to do so one should make effort and take action. In fact, 'Ghol A`oozo' mentions the importance and need for action while seeking refuge in 'Rabben Naas', 'Maleken Naas' and 'Elahen Naas', so it is not just saying some words and doing nothing. The true 'A`oozo' is realized through efforts human makes and through actions he takes according to the best and finest instructions given to him all throughout Quran to walk on the way of perfection.


In verse four, it reveals the thing human has to seek refuge from, which is the evil/harm of stealthy whispered temptations. Then in verse five, it mentions the target of that evil in human inner side which is 'Sodoor' or hearts - 'Sodoor' is the plural of 'Sadr' and 'Sadr' is the the part of human inner side which all his understanding is expressed and exports from there; 'Sadr' seems to be weak and tangible in the lack of Allah's protection. And at last, in verse six, it talks about someone from whom human has to seek refuge who are some jinns and 'Naas'.


To sum up, in 'Naas' surah, you notice that human needs to be led to his perfection, to be instructed, and to love and worship, but in his social life and in his confrontation with the others and on his way of perfection there are some evil/Satanic army who are some jinns and 'Naas'/people that whisper stealthy temptations to affect and influence his 'Sadr' and consequently mislead him. Therefore, he has to make some efforts and take some actions for his perfection while seeking refuge in 'Rabben Naas', 'Maleken Naas' and 'Elahen Naas' because He is the Only Creator who is able to guide him to his perfection, the Only Perfect Owner and Instructor, the Only One who deserves to be cherished, loved and worshipped, and the Only Protector who can protect him from all that evil.

Dear Classmates

As you can remember this topic was covered in brief,, Meaning that all the book was not covered and the surahs were left unread. We decided to cover these topics for completing our teaching task but this class ha a different form.

1. It is totally presentation-based by the members and only in conclusion part we have the teaching part.

2. The teaching would be bi-lingual.

3. All the members should be ready for presentation and they would be randomly chosen.

4. The notion is "One Session - One Surah", so for the person not having dealt with it it would not be useful.

5. All the members have to have an output according to the surah and it should be put on the weblog before their attendance.

  5.1. The table for possible outputs can be downloaded from the link below. you can tick out what you have done in this table:

                                                                 Download-Presentation Models

6. The members without any output are not allowed to attend the class. They can do it behind the class door and by delivering the output they can attend the rest of the class.

7. This course would be performed for 3 trial sessions and with the feedback gained we would decide to continue in this way or change our strategy.

8. We would have the presentation of "miss Kourki" in each session too. Most of the teaching part would be performed by her.

9. Think that we are asked to teach to a group of people or present a conference, So do your best to improve your understandings of each surah by any mean: listening to voices of other classes, attending those classes or discussion and etc.

Dear Classmates

By classifying Hagh(truth) and Batel(Fake) trend in "Al-Haghha" surah do the following:


1. Write 5 logical statements describing people characteristics in this surah

2. Write 5 logical statements by contradicting trends in this surah

3.Write 5 logical statements describing both group leadership characteristics in this surah


P.S: "Haaghe": is something with reveals and shows Hagh(truth). Quran in this surah is an example for Haagha. May all of us be Haagha for the truth... Ensha'allah

Dear classmates

The three previous posts by mi Arjmandi completely describes the lesson, but as a review i would like to mention some points:

1. When we face a surah and we conclude that sequential-subjective classification gives more groups than usual and the topics have discontinuity(in appearance), it is suggested switch to this kind of classification

2. To achieve this, we should make a table with column titles, "Mogharabun- leaders of guidance", "Ashab Yamin - The guided ones", and "ashab shemal - misled ones".

  2.1. Then we should put the verses related to the headings under the suitable column

     2.1.1. The verses containing facts about Allah or nature should be put under "Mogharabun" column because they are the mediators for these fact to reveal and without them nothing could be understood.

  2.2. The most important part would be the analysis of the table by writing logical statements. The analysis can be done through the following path:

     2.2.1. Tracking people: In this part we wish to fin out the relation between the beliefs, actions, directions in a person

               This can be done through analyzing the table vertically and column-wise 

     2.2.2. Truth and fake trend contradiction: Here we compare the trend of guided ones and misled ones with each other and by revering the characteristics we get to know each one better. Keep in mind that reversing should be verified by some verses and validated because such reversal may not be synchronized with the surah intention. The analysis here is done horizontally and row-wise.

     2.2.3. Getting to know the leadership characteristics: Here we are talking about the leaders of truth and fake trend in a surah. This can be done through focusing on "mogharabun" column and investigating their relations with two other groups. By contradiction here we can find fake trend leadership characteristics.

3. This type of classification gives the ability to predict ones destiny or finding the problem roots in society and individual and try to lead all the people synchronize themselves with truth trend in order to survive!

In The Name of Allah


Part#3



Reviewing the Leadership and Followers' traits**

Apparently, when we introduce the most faithful believers, or the nearest believers to God  " so_called Moqarebon" as a guiding forerunner; the leadership and guidance of the Truth trend is always with them. This leadership is deemed by one of its dimensions in each sura and attempted to correct the perspective and outlook of human to the leadership and guidance. Therefore, we will achieve the characteristics of the truth leadership and followers by surveying on the traits of the nearest and most faithful believers to God.     a


The most essential characteristics of the Truth followers along with the leadership of such an honorable messenger is to praise and worship Allah. Nevertheless, the leadership of the fake Quasi_ movement trend is not explicitly indicated in this sura,; it is inferred by the common traits of all falsehood leaders that they repel against whoever appointed by God as His messenger, hence the leadership of the fake Quasi-movement trend is by the rebellions against the Divine commands.   a


To sum up, if we redeem the sura's subjects, it is illustrated after the greatness of the Inevitable Event ( Al_Haqqah) and attracted the audience's attention to the denial of the former generations and considered these audience as survivals of the occurred mishap to be guided to the Hereafter scenery in which the position of the Right_handed companions and left_handed companions are restated and then the position of the prophet (PBUH) for the guided ones in addition to differentiating the mentioned groups at the Presence of Allah and His Messenger and His Special Angels.     a

Part#2


 Counter_movement Trends**


A) The Truth(Haq)                      a

B) The fake Quasi_trend (Batel)        a


In addition to indicating the characteristics of human behavior and beliefs, some other facts are also expressed in each sura. Probing these facts will show us two counter_movement trends as the truth and fake quasi_trend.       a

 Notice the verse 40) " That this Qur'an is the Word revealed to an honorable Messenger." Regarding to this verse, it could be a truth to distinguish between humans, since this sort of outlook to Qur'an expressed by Allah's messenger who is honorable is not found in the fake Quasi_trend philosophy. We can use the other verses of the sura for having a better recognition of the truth and falsehood trends, as well.     a

 As another instance, we may pay attention to the verses 38_39) " I swear by what you mankind can see > the visible world< and what you cannot see > the unseen world< ; as well as the verse 12) " So that the story of Noah's Ark may become a reminder for you mankind; and the ears who listen to the truth hear it and take admonition." It is possible to conclude by these verses that one of the traits of the truth in this sura is to obey the Divine messenger for comprehending the truths; owning to the fact that all knowing subjects could not be traceable by mankind. That's why, human should take notice that some world's truths are seen whereas some are not which these unseen ones are only and only will be uncovered by God's will to human being by the Allah's messenger.      a


For this reason, the first verses of this sura, verse3) " And what will make you know how the Inevitable Event will happen?", clarifies a higher truth in this sura stating that access to its face is out of human's hand . And if there is not the honorable messenger for manifesting these facts as well as people do not follow the Divine messengers for perceiving them, people will happen to belie as the former generations did. On the other hand, one of the most features of the falsehood trend is to reject the truth and this is due to their disbelieving in the messengers are the prophets appointed by God.    a

By considering the actions and reactions of these two opposing trends, the truth and the falsehood, in this sura, one could sum up that the sura mainly focuses on the counter_movement trends regarding the position of the honorable messenger pertaining to the Divine revelation .    a

In The Name of ALLAH


Part#1 


Each of Qur'an Suras states distinctively two trends of the Truth (Haq) and the fake quasi_trend (Batel). The truth trend is to reveal the Divine Blessings leading to the guidance; reversely, the fake quasi_trend, any misleading mischievous movements and tendencies, is opposing the Divine Guidance.     a


Hence, by knowing the truth trend in a sura, we are able to recognize the unseen manifestations were revealed to the prophet (PBUH) and also the rising movements by it in the world as well as in believers and their destinies. Additionally, we could study some social trends of falsehood by their behaviors, notions, prejudices and the outcome and consequences of pursuing false leaders.     a


If we call human actions as social movements, it is not due to attending more than one person in this kind trends but having impact on some aspects of a whole society in which provided a ground for Divine guiding manifestations or vice versa, depriving from the Divine Blessings.     a


Studying the "Al_Haqqah" sura( a thing which is fixed and steady ; its root is "truth" or Haq ; means ascending and actual stability) in accordance with social trends towards the truth considering the following factors are obligatory and necessary:  1) The study of human 2) counter_movements trends  3) Leadership and followers     a


The Study of Human        a

The human features regarding his behavioral characteristics and beliefs could be obtained explicitly from the direct definition of verses about both trends (the truth and the falsehood). Moreover, since both tendencies have some contradictions, it would be possible to infer and deduce some of their features by their counteracts. With respect to these mentioned points, some common features of the misled group are as :       a


Denial and Rebelling verse 10) "And they rebelled against their Creator's Messenger; so Allah seized them with a Severe Torment. verse 49) " And verily, We have made known that there are some among you who belie it       a

Not Believing in God verse 33) "since he was the one who did not believe in Allah, the Great Mighty.    a

Not Believing in the Judgement Day verse 4) "Thamud and Aad people belied the Inevitable Event of the Day of Judgement       a

Annihilated generation and extinction verse 8_10) "Do you see any of that generation alive? Pharaoh and the disbelievers before him and the people of the Overthrown Cities , they all were guilty of committing sin and they rebelled against their Creator's Messenger; so Allah seized them with a Severe Torment."      a

On the other hand, some common features of the guided group are as:     a


Believing in the Judgement Day  verses 19_20) " Then as for him who will be given his record in his right hand, he will say proudly:" Take this record of my deeds and read it." "I did know that I will surely meet with my account."      a

Listening to the truth , accepting and  believing in them  verses 11_ 12) "Verily, <as regards with believers> when the water rose to the level of flood, We carried you in the Ark of Noah, " " So that the story of Noah's Ark may become a reminder for you mankind; and the ears who listen to the Truth Hear it and take admonition."     a
