May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you all!
We have reached the 22nd day of Ramadan!
The 22nd juz of the Qur'an consists of the following chapters:
Chapter 33: Al-'Aĥzāb - The Combined Forces - Verses 31-73
Chapter 35: Fāţir - Originator
Chapter 36: Yā-Sīn - Ya Sin - Verses 1-27
The first chapter of this section (Chapter 33) was revealed five years after the Muslims had migrated to Madinah. The subsequent chapters (34-36) were revealed during the middle of the Makkan period.
Summary
In the first part of this juz', Surah Al-Ahzab continues to outline some administrative issues related to interpersonal relationships, social reforms, and the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad. These verses were revealed in Madinah, where the Muslims were forming their first independent government and the Prophet Muhammad became not only a religious leader but also a political head of state.
The following three chapters (Surah Saba, Surah Fatir, and Surah Ya Sin) date back to the middle of the Makkan period, when Muslims were being ridiculed by not yet tormented and persecuted. The main message is one of Tawhid, the Oneness of Allah, referring to the historical precedents of David and Solomon (Dawud and Suleiman), and warning the people about the consequences of their stubborn refusal to believe in Allah alone. Here Allah calls upon the people to use their common sense and their observations of the world around them, which all point to One Almighty Creator.
The final chapter of this section, Surah Ya Sin, has been called the "heart" of the Quran because it presents the entirety of the Quran's message in a clear and direct manner. The Prophet Muhammad instructed his followers to recite Surah Ya Sin to those who are dying, in order to focus on the essence of Islam's teachings. The Surah includes teachings about the Oneness of Allah, the beauties of the natural world, the errors of those who reject guidance, the truth of the Resurrection, the rewards of Heaven, and the punishment of Hell.
