About this, al-Imam as-Sa\u2019dee (may Allah have Mercy on him) said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This soorah includes meanings that demonstrate His Greatness, the vastness of His Sovereignty, the absolute enactment of His Will, the all-encompassing scope of His Knowledge and Capability, the all-inclusive nature of His Dominion, as it relates to His commands and verdicts of recompense, and the completeness of His Wisdom. It also includes what demonstrates the expansiveness of His Mercy, how far-reaching His Generosity is, and His abundant Kindness in both this world and the Next. Considering these meanings, the repetition of this beautiful description (\u201ctabaaraka\u201d) is befitting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Similar to other early Makkan chapters of the Quran, <em>Soorah al-Furqaan<\/em> includes a heavy focus on the Hereafter, defense of the honesty and character of the Prophet (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace), emphasis on the significance of the revelation of the Quran and its guidance, clarifications of the purpose of life, descriptions of the believers and disbelievers, as well as vivid descriptions of Paradise and the Hellfire. The foolishness of many of the demands of the disbelievers is also exposed. Many of Allah\u2019s Names and beautiful descriptions of His perfect Attributes are found throughout the <em>soorah<\/em> as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A DETAILED GUIDE TO PERFECTING ONE\u2019S CHARACTER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Making it especially impactful in Ramadhaan, this <em>soorah<\/em> equips us with an amazing guide to attaining the pinnacle of upright Islamic character, explaining how we might reach the lofty rank of <em>\u2018Ebaad ar-Rahmaan<\/em>, the true slave-servants of the Most Gracious, in Verses 65-74. These Verses make up the major focus of our studies in the last ten nights this Ramadhaan, <em>in shaa\u2019 Allah<\/em>.
