sheikh Fahd Al-Kanderi-- Surat Sad (Verses 30-70)(Eng. Sub.)--Ramdan 1427H/2006

My comments follow the Google description of the second half of the video recitation of Surah Saad: "From taraweeh prayer (Ramdan 1427H/2006), a recitation by sheikh Fahd Al-Kandari of verses 30-70 of Sûrat Sad (Surah 38 of the Holy Qur'an). There is an English translation of the meaning of the verses. "Note: (Background to understand verse 44) During the ailment of Ayyûb (Job), his wife used to beg for him, and Satan told her a word of disbelief to say and she told her husband [Ayyûb (Job)]; so he became angry with her and took an oath to strike her one hundred lashes. So Allah ordered Ayyûb (Job) to fulfil his oath by striking her with the bundle of thin grass. (Tafsîr Al-Qurtubi,)." Allah subhanahu wata ala discourages us in the Holy Quran from taking oaths generally, but especially when the oath is for something wrong or regrettable, because to break an oath is sinful. Yet He is ar Raheem, more Merciful than any of His Creations, so He gave His Prophet guidance that allowed him to fulfill the oath without causing his wife great harm. And generally, Allah subhanahu wata ala accepts the forgiveness of His servants who truly repent to Him alone. And He is ar Rahman, so His forgiveness and mercy extends to each and every creature and each every creation. Exalted is Allah above His Creations. Alhamdolillah, yesterday, I sacrificed for the first time by own hand an animal in observance of the rites of Eid al Adha, celebrating the sacrifice by Ibrahim alayhis salam of the ram that Allah subhanahu wata ala substituted for Ishmael alayhis salam. I pray that He will forgive me for my shortcomings and for my sins. That He will accept my good deeds and permit me into paradise, in sha Allah.
