Surah Al-Baqara page: 23

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يَعۡرِفُونَهُۥ كَمَا يَعۡرِفُونَ أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡۖ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ لَيَكۡتُمُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ (146) ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُمۡتَرِينَ (147)

Those to whom We have come the Book recognize it as they recognize their own children, And that a party of them conceal the truth while they know (146) The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt (147)

“Those to whom We have given the Book know it.”

  Jewish rabbis and Christian scholars: He says: These Jewish rabbis and Christian scholars know: the Sacred House is their qiblah, the qiblah of Abraham, and the qiblah of the prophets before you, they know it as they know their children.

Qatada said

  “Those whom We have given the Book know it as they know their children.” He says: They know that the Sacred House is the qiblah.

He was a mujahid

They are the People of the Book

To hide the truth

And that right is the qiblah = to which God Almighty directed His Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. He says: Turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque = to which the prophets before Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, used to turn, the Jews and Christians concealed it, so some of them headed east, and some towards Jerusalem, and they rejected what God commanded them to do, and with that they concealed the command of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and they find it written with them in the Torah and the Gospel.


It was the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace

He doubted that the truth is from his Lord, or that the qiblah to which God directed him is a right from God, the Most High, until he was forbidden to doubt about that, and it was said to him: “Do not be of those who doubt.”

A look at the two verses

  1- Some Jewish rabbis and some Christian scholars know the description of Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - in the Torah and the Gospel, as they know their children, i.e. they know him completely, do you neglect your son, who is being raised in your bosom, what he likes and dislikes, and other characteristics? they know that and covered it up, do we do the same? do we know a certain fact in its entirety and work ourselves without knowing anything about it? we do, and some around us do, and if we do, we are not like the general Jews, but rather like their rabbis, so the scholar is never like the learner.

2- And you, as a Muslim, have you read the entire interpretation of the Qur’an at least once in your life? from the beginning of the Qur’an to the end, until you learn the Qur’an as you learn all things about your children? create time for yourself to read the entire interpretation of the Qur’an from a short summary, even if it takes place over the course of a whole year.

 وَلِكُلّٖ وِجۡهَةٌ هُوَ مُوَلِّيهَاۖ فَٱسۡتَبِقُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِۚ أَيۡنَ مَا تَكُونُواْ يَأۡتِ بِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ (148)

And for each direction He is its ruler, so race one another to the best, wherever you are, God will bring you all together. Indeed, God has power over all things (148)


The matter is not in facing the qiblah, for it is one of the laws by which times and conditions change, and copying and transmission enter them, from one side to another, but the matter is all the matter, In obedience to God, drawing near to Him, and seeking closeness with Him, got the loss of this world and the hereafter.

This honorable verse is inferred from bringing every virtue that characterizes work.

Such as praying at the beginning of its time, hastening to discharge one’s obligation, such as fasting, Hajj, and Umrah, paying zakat, and following the norms and etiquette of acts of worship, and for every destination he is its master

For all people of religion, Jews and Christians. Ibn Juraij said, Mujahid said: Everyone has a religion.

A look at the verse

Destination, compass, direction. Every person you meet in life has a side to move for, if it is a god or a worldly purpose, However, there is no person who does not have a destination, even if his destination is to eat and drink only, just as slaves do not have a real destination, or their destination is the destination of their owner, whatever your destination was, were you in the East or in the West, were you on a planet other than the Earth, we all have to compete to do good, why? because in the end, we will all gather together at one destination, which is God Almighty, no matter how many destinations we have in this world, the qiblah will unite in the Hereafter, God has power over all things: a reference to the extent of God's power - the Almighty - in bringing people together with Him once again from drowning in the sea or dying in an earthquake, or on another planet or otherwise, and God is Most High and All-Knowing.


وَمِنۡ حَيۡثُ خَرَجۡتَ فَوَلِّ وَجۡهَكَ شَطۡرَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ (149)

And from where you came out, turn your face towards the sacred mosque, and it is the truth from your Lord, and God is not unmindful of what you do (149)


y: “And from whence you went out” in your travels and others, and this is for the general public, “so turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque,” that is: its direction, " God is not oblivious of what you do " rather, He is aware of you in all your conditions, so behave with him, and watch him by complying with his orders and avoiding his prohibitions, for your deeds are not overlooked, rather, they will be fully rewarded for it. If it is good, then it is good, and if it is bad, then it is bad.

A look at the verse

1 - Does Islam pay special attention to the face? We previously spoke in this noble surah in previous verses about the fact that the face represents the true identity of a person, a person is not known by his voice, body, gait, or otherwise as much as he is known by his face, and the face is honored in Islam, as the Messenger says (The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, says: “do not disgrace faces”) and note the word face in the Qur’an, you will find that there is a certain honor and that when God Almighty speaks to you, He does not speak about your body, nor about the brands you wear, or your status among your people, but it happens to your face and your heart and it's over


 2- Today, they change the face with silicone mask that is very similar to human skin, and it is almost impossible to know how to differentiate it from the natural one, and they also change the nose, ear, and mouth with a 3D printer, and they may control a plastic surgery in your facial expressions to look like a smile that does not leave you, like customer service representatives in major companies.

 وَمِنۡ حَيۡثُ خَرَجۡتَ فَوَلِّ وَجۡهَكَ شَطۡرَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِۚ وَحَيۡثُ مَا كُنتُمۡ فَوَلُّواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ شَطۡرَهُۥ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ حُجَّةٌ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ فَلَا تَخۡشَوۡهُمۡ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِي وَلِأُتِمَّ نِعۡمَتِي عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ (150)

And from where you came out, turn your face towards the sacred mosque, and wherever you are, turn your faces towards it, so that people will have no argument against you except those of them who do wrong, so do not fear them, and fear Me, and I will complete My favor upon you, and that you may be guided (150)

"so that people will not have an argument against you"

  That is: We have prescribed for you the reception of the honorable Kaaba, so that the protest of the people of the Book and the polytheists will be cut off from you, because if he remained facing Jerusalem, the argument would have been directed against him

 The People of the Book

  They find in their book that its stable qiblah is the Kaaba, the Sacred House, The People of the Book they find in their book that his stable qiblah is the Kaaba, the Sacred House, and the polytheists see that among their glories is this great House, and that it is from the religion of Abraham.

This is in contrast to the owner of the right, for the right has a power and honor, which necessitates fear of those who are with him, and the Almighty has commanded fear of him, This is in contrast to the owner of the right, for the right has a power and honor, which necessitates fear of those who are with him, and the Almighty has commanded fear of him.


On the authority of Ibn Masoud and on the authority of some of the companions of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, they said when the Prophet of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, went towards the Kaaba, after his prayers to Jerusalem, the idolaters of Mecca said: Muhammad was perplexed about his religion, so he directed his qiblah towards you

Al-Rabee’ said: A Jew disputed with Abu Al-Aaliyah, and he said

  Moses, peace be upon him, was praying to the rock of Jerusalem, abu Al-Aaliyah said: He used to pray at the rock towards the Sacred House. He said: He said: So between you and me is a righteous mosque.

 كَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيكُمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنكُمۡ يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيكُمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُم مَّا لَمۡ تَكُونُواْ تَعۡلَمُونَ (151)

As We sent among you a Messenger from among you who recites Our verses to you, He will purify you and teach you the Books and the Wisdom and He teaches you what you did not know (151)

He recites to you the verses that clarify the truth from falsehood

  And the guidance from misguidance, which first showed you the unity and perfection of God, then the truthfulness of His Messenger, and the necessity of believing in Him, "and purify you that is, it purifies your morals and your souls, by raising them on beautiful morals, and keeping them away from vice morals, and that is like purifying you from polytheism to monotheism, from hypocrisy to sincerity, from lies to truthfulness, from betrayal to trust, from arrogance to humility, and from bad manners to good manners.

"and teach you the book"

  That is: the Qur’an, its words and meanings.


“And wisdom,” it was said

  is the year


  And it was said

  Wisdom, knowledge of the secrets of Sharia and jurisprudence therein


  And download things home.

Thus, the teaching of the Sunnah is included in the teaching of the Book, because the Sunnah clarifies the Qur’an, interprets it, and expresses it.

 فَٱذۡكُرُونِيٓ أَذۡكُرۡكُمۡ وَٱشۡكُرُواْ لِي وَلَا تَكۡفُرُونِ (152)

So remember me, I will remember you, and be grateful to me And do not disbelieve (152)

The saying in the interpretation of His saying, the Most High: And give thanks to Me and do not be ungrateful to Me.

Abu Jaafar said: The Almighty means reminding him of that: Give thanks to Me, O believers, for what I have bestowed upon you of Islam, and the guidance of the religion that I have legislated for My prophets and my chosen ones, “And do not be disbelievers.

A look at the verse

On the authority of Abu Hurairah - may God be pleased with him - he said: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “God Almighty says: I am as My servant thinks I am, and I am with him if he reminds me.


If he reminds me of himself; I mentioned him to myself, and if he mentioned me in an assembly, I mentioned him in an assembly better than them... Hadith) Narrated by Al-Bukhari and brought out by Muslim

From the hadih, we can conclude two things:

1 - Who are the mullaa? they are the ones who fill the first seats in the councils, the people with white collars - if the expression is right - and you, where do you remember God? between you and yourself and remembrances on your fingers? or did he speak publicly about God? It is possible that one of them oppresses you just because he does not believe in God and you believe in God.


2 - When you remember your Lord in a gathering of congregations, He reminds you and Himself - Glory be to Him - in a gathering of honorable angels, so you will be with the majesty of your destiny mentioned in the sky and known by name.


Note: God Almighty linked in the verse between mentioning Him - Glory be to Him - and not disbelieving, so it is as if you do not remember God in your day and night as if you disbelieve in Him - God forbid -


So from this verse: We understand that God - the Exalted - will not remember you until after you have mentioned Him, so start with the remembrance now in the manner that you want, and the last gesture is not part of the little remembrance of God - the Exalted - who said the morning and evening remembrances and who said the supplication for entering and leaving the house...etc. and God is superior and knows best

 يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱسۡتَعِينُواْ بِٱلصَّبۡرِ وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ (153)

O you who have believed, seek help with patience and the prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient (153)

And this verse is an exhortation from God Almighty to remind him to obey Him, and to bear what is hated by Him on the bodies and wealth, so He said: “O you who have believed, seek help with patience and prayer, to do my obedience, to perform my statutes in the abrogate of my rulings, and to turn away from what I abrogate to the one I create for you of my statutes, and I transfer you to him from my rulings, and submit to my command in what I command you while obliging you to his rule, and on the struggle of your enemies and their war in My way, with patience from you for what is abominable to me and its hardship for you, and enduring its hardship and its weight, then with your fear of what takes your place from the terrible things to pray for me, because by being patient with the hardships you realize my pleasures, and by praying for me you will succeed in your requests before me, and you realize your needs with me, for I am with those who are patient in carrying out my duties and abandoning my sins, I will help them and take care of them, so that they can achieve what they asked for and hoped for before me.

A look at the verse

When do you need to use something or someone higher than you? When you are in a big problem, in a conflict or something like that, do not seek the help of anyone and suffice with yourself and your loved ones, and that is enough, Here comes the following question: We suppose that you have fallen into a problem - God forbid - and you decided to ask the father of your friend who is not close to you (to use him to solve your problem) because most people can solve your problem, and the second question: Will you feel embarrassed when you go to him? If you had a previous relationship with him before that, the situation would have been better? This is our situation with prayer. Prayer is not a ritual. Prayer is based on monologues, and problems come at times individually and at other times in groups. God - the Almighty - gives you the key to the problem. They say that every problem is born with its key, and the beginning of the key (supplication) and prayer is supplication and monologue, seeking help in prayer is the first help, and the second help is patience, and they say: Patience is the key to relief, and they also say: Patience is a light because it shines for you at the end of the dark tunnel (the problem) without patience, you would not exist today on earth. Your mother was patient until she gave birth to you, and every great building needed patience, and even food needs patience until it eaten, and this is the opposite of instinct, (Indeed, man was created hasty), so if you teach yourself patience: i.e. restraining oneself from complaining during adversity, it is one of the qualities of the wise, one of the qualities of those beloved by God -The Most High -
