Surah Al Hujuraat Notes (1)


Source: Ibn Kathir
Which was revealed in Al-Madinah

The Prohibition of making a Decision in advance of Allah and His Messenger; ordering Respect towards the Prophet

(1) O you who believe! Do not put (yourselves) forward before Allah and His Messenger (SAW), and fear Allah. Verily! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

In these Ayat, Allah the Exalted teaches His faithful servants the good manners they should observe with the Messenger , which are respect, honor and esteem. 

Allah the Exalted and Most Honored said,

(O you who believe! Make not (a decision) in advance before Allah and His Messenger,) meaning, do not rush in making decisions before him, rather, follow his lead in all matters. `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, commented;

(Make not (a decision) in advance before Allah and His Messenger,) "Do not say anything that contradicts the Qur'an and Sunnah.'' Qatadah commented, "We were told that some people used to say, `Revelation should be sent down about such and such matters,' and, `such and such practices should be rendered allowed.' Allah the Exalted disliked this attitude.'' Allah said,

(and have Taqwa of Allah.) meaning, `in what He has ordered you;'

(Verily, Allah is Hearing,) `your statements,'

(Knowing.) `your intentions.
