Good Deed: #226 Convey the message, Learn Surah Shuaraa – The Poets
SURA 26. Shuaraa, or The Poets
1. Ta. Sin. Mim. 2. These are verses of the Book that makes [things] clear.
3. It may be thou frettest thy soul with grief, that they do not become Believers.
4. If [such] were Our Will, We could send down to them from the sky a Sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.
5. But there comes not to them a newly-revealed Message from [Allah] Most Gracious, but they turn away therefrom.
6. They have indeed rejected [the Message]: so they will know soon [enough] the truth of what they mocked at!
7. Do they not look at the earth,- how many noble things of all kinds We have produced therein?
8. Verily, in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
9. And verily, thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
Action Plan
1. Surat Ash-Shu’ara is about the importance of conveying the message to people through the best effective means. In the time of Prophet Musa (Moses), the means was magic, and at the age of Prophet Mohammad (SAWS), it was poetry and poets (hence comes the name of the surah).
2. This surah was revealed in a time when the Muslims needed to learn the methods of information and communication. The beginning of the public preaching of the message of Islam had then begun. The Prophet (SAWS) stood on Al-Safa Mountain and announced that the call to Islam had to be done publicly for the first time in Makkah. In this way, the surah shows clearly the importance of the means of communication and information in the process of Da’wa (Calling to Allah and Islam)
