Promises People Made but Did Not Keep
Lists the promises given to Bani Israel: worship Allah, be kind to parents, help relatives, orphans, and poor people, speak kindly, pray, and give charity. Then it shows how those promises were broken.
What True Goodness Really Means
Explains that goodness is more than facing a direction in prayer. It includes belief, charity, prayer, keeping promises, patience, and helping people in need.
Justice in Cases of Murder
Gives rules for justice when murder happens. It teaches balance, fairness, mercy, and the importance of protecting life.
Marriage and Faith Choices
Gives guidance about marriage and choosing spouses based on faith instead of attraction, status, or social pressure.
Taking Care of Orphans and Their Property
Gives rules about protecting orphans' money, not taking what belongs to them, and warning against eating their wealth unfairly.
Marriage Rules and Choosing Lawful Relationships
Explains who can be married, the importance of proper marriage, giving women their due rights, and choosing lawful relationships instead of secret or careless ones.
Being Good to People Around You
Lists the people who deserve kindness: parents, relatives, orphans, poor people, close neighbors, far neighbors, companions, travelers, and those under one's care.
Accidental Killing and Murder
Gives rules for accidental killing, compensation, and warns strongly against intentional murder.
Taking Oaths Seriously
Explains what to do when people break serious oaths, including feeding or clothing needy people, or fasting if they cannot do that.
Who May Receive Zakah
Criticises those who complain about how charity is shared, then lists who zakah is for: the poor, the needy, its workers, bringing hearts together, freeing captives, debtors, Allah's cause and travelers.
Yusuf Is Sold in Egypt
Tells how travelers found Yusuf in the well and sold him for a few coins. A man from Egypt bought him, and Allah gave him judgement and knowledge when he grew up.
Examples That Show Allah Has No Equal
Reminds that Allah gives provision, spouses, children and grandchildren, yet people worship what provides nothing. Gives examples of a powerless slave and a generous free man, and a helpless man and a just one.
Encouraging Marriage and Freeing Slaves
Tells believers to help the unmarried and righteous slaves marry, and those without means to stay chaste. Slaves seeking freedom by contract should be helped, and no slave girl may be forced into prostitution.
Privacy at Home and Eating Together
Servants and children must ask permission at three private times, and grown children always. Older women may set aside outer garments. There is no blame on eating in relatives' or friends' homes, and people should greet one another.
Turn to the Natural Religion
An example shows that owners would never make their slaves equal partners, so how can Allah have partners? People are told to hold to the natural faith, pray, and not split into sects.
Marriage Rules for Believers and the Prophet
Says a woman divorced before the marriage is consummated has no waiting period and should be given provision. Sets out which women are lawful for the Prophet ﷺ to marry, then forbids him any additional wives.
Zihar and the Woman Who Pleaded to Allah
Tells that Allah heard a woman pleading about her husband. Declaring a wife to be like one's mother is false speech, and gives the penalty: freeing a slave, fasting two months, or feeding sixty poor people.
The Difficult Uphill Path
Swears by Makkah that man is created into hardship. Explains the steep path: freeing a slave, feeding an orphan relative or needy person in hunger, believing, and urging patience and compassion.
