*Some believe reciting a specific Surah a certain number of times equals to reciting the entir Qur’an, and that is enough and there is No need to recite the entire Mushaf from cover to cover.* *Some of us regularly recite the Qur’an without understanding its exegesis and we believe, we know what’s in the Qur’an.* Point to Reflect: *Allah ﷻ calls those who do not have the knowledge of the Book: ummyyeen – the illiterate.* Then what about us?. *??? With our fancy titles and degrees, and no knowledge of the Qur’an or only knowing a few Surahs are we really the literate ones????* *“…woe to those who write the scripture with their own hands, then say, ‘This is from Allah"*.

This addresses the Rabbis who altered the Book of Allah and wrote another book by their own hands and then said, “This is from Allah.” When someone seeking to do evil came to them, they would take out the distorted book that proved his being in the right and would give their fatwa. To give an opinion according to the seeker’s desire, they would charge a ‘price’. This was their business. They were not honest with their job and the Book of Allah. _therefore, Allah ﷻ says, “Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.” *Why were the Rabbis able to exploit their religion?*.

It was because the common people  has no knowledge of the Book. *It is like today, Muslims believe that the only person capable of reading and understanding the Book is the Imam at the Masjid.* We do not study the Qur’an ourselves, mess up our lives and then blame the religion. *What is stopping us from studying the Qur’an,?*. Allah ﷻ did not put a condition that only the one who works in the Masjid should read the Qur’an?. If we don’t gain knowledge about the religious matters and the Qur’an, anyone can trick us. Do not allow yourself to be fooled due to your ignorance of the Book.

"یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَقُوۡلُوۡا رَاعِنَا وَ قُوۡلُوا انۡظُرۡنَا وَ اسۡمَعُوۡا ؕ  وَ لِلۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ عَذَابٌ اَلِیۡمٌ ﴿۱۰۴﴾

O believers! (Seeking the kind attention of the Holy Prophet) do not say: ‘ra‘ina (Pay attention to us),’ but submit (most humbly): ‘unzurna (Bless us with your benevolent gaze),’ and be all ears (towards his gracious discourse). And there is grievous torment for the disbelievers.

Among other perversities, some of the Jews invented a new mischief. When they presented themselves before the Prophet ﷺ they would address him with the word  *Ra’ina, which in Arabic means "be mindful of us".... but in Hebrew it is a curse*. The latter is what they intended, but the Arabs, not knowing Hebrew, could not see the point. With  the Arab sense of the  word in mind, the Muslims too began to address the Prophet ﷺ in the same manner.That did not only delight the Jews who had found a way of insulting the Prophet ﷺ openly, but also had tricked the Muslims into joining them.

Allah ﷻ  revealed this ayaat and forbid the believers from imitating the Jews in their intentional disrespect for the Prophet ﷺ.

The word  *Ra’ina [رَاعِنَا]* has several meanings and one of them is *‘one who feeds flocks or a shepherd’.* The word does not befit someone higher than you in status and position, such as a Prophet of Allah. It can be used among common people who are of equal standing because it means *“We hear from you, and you hear from us.”* It was the habit of the Jews to mock the commands of Allah ﷻ ridicule His prophets‘alayhi salaam and change the words that they were instructed to say, thereafter, Allah forbade the believers from uttering the word Ra`ina.

As a replacement, the word that Allah ﷻ chose for the believers to use was  *unzur’na[انظُرْنَا]*  which means *‘to see, to look at glance, to listen to, to be patient towards or to show kindness.’* Nazara is an affectionate look. This word was more befitting to be said to the Prophet ﷺ than the one that the Jews had chosen. The ayah also announces dire punishment for whoever claims to be a believer and does not watch his speech, especially in the assembly of the Prophet ﷺ.

*Let's continue on this verse* 👇.                          [66:8] Al-Taḥrīm-التَّحْرِيْم
"یٰۤاَیُّہَا  الَّذِیۡنَ  اٰمَنُوۡا تُوۡبُوۡۤا  اِلَی اللّٰہِ تَوۡبَۃً  نَّصُوۡحًا ؕ عَسٰی رَبُّکُمۡ  اَنۡ یُّکَفِّرَ عَنۡکُمۡ سَیِّاٰتِکُمۡ وَ یُدۡخِلَکُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِیۡ  مِنۡ تَحۡتِہَا الۡاَنۡہٰرُ ۙ یَوۡمَ لَا یُخۡزِی اللّٰہُ  النَّبِیَّ  وَ الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مَعَہٗ ۚ  نُوۡرُہُمۡ  یَسۡعٰی بَیۡنَ اَیۡدِیۡہِمۡ وَ بِاَیۡمَانِہِمۡ  یَقُوۡلُوۡنَ  رَبَّنَاۤ اَتۡمِمۡ  لَنَا نُوۡرَنَا وَ اغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ۚ اِنَّکَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیۡءٍ قَدِیۡرٌ ﴿۸﴾

O believers! Turn towards Allah’s presence in perfect and most sincere repentance. Your Lord will certainly remove your sins from you, and admit you to the Gardens with streams flowing under them. On the Day when Allah will not slight (His) Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) and those believers who are in his companionship (visibly or invisibly), their light will be moving fast (brightening) ahead of them and on their right side. They will be submitting: ‘O our Lord, perfect our light for us and forgive us. Surely, You have absolute power over everything.’

One should offer such true repentance as... 1⃣. It may have no tinge of pretense and hypocrisy in it. 2⃣. or that one should so improve his life after repentance as to become a cause of admonition for others. Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that Ubayy bin Kaab said the Prophet said: *It implies that when you happen to commit an error, you should feel penitent for it, then should implore Allah for forgiveness remorsefully, and then should refrain from committing the same error again*. Ali once heard a desert Arab chanting the words of repentance and forgiveness quickly and mechanically and remarked: *This is the repentance of the liars*. The man asked: What is true repentance?.

[8:50] Al-Anfāl-الْأَنْفَال
"وَ لَوۡ تَرٰۤی اِذۡ یَتَوَفَّی الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوا ۙ الۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃُ یَضۡرِبُوۡنَ  وُجُوۡہَہُمۡ وَ اَدۡبَارَہُمۡ ۚ وَ ذُوۡقُوۡا  عَذَابَ الۡحَرِیۡقِ ﴿۵۰﴾

And you (will wonder) if you see (the spectacle) when the angels take away the souls of the disbelievers. They continue striking their faces and backs (with hammers and say): ‘Taste the torment of the Fire (of Hell).’
