091 The Sun (Rukuh 01) (Ayats 01-15)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful.

وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا (1)

[91:1] I swear by the sun and his broad light,

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلاهَا (2)

[91:2] and by the moon when she follows him,

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلاَّهَا (3)

[91:3] and by the day when it shows his brightness,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا (4)

[91:4] and by the night when it envelops him,

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا (5)

THINGS WHICH DO NOT BREAK THE FAST, BUT WHICH ARE MAKROOH DURING SAUM

Some things, while not breaking the fast, are nevertheless Makrooh to do during fasting. Makrooh means detestable and in this context Makrooh things are sinful. Makrooh things bring about a decrease in the thawab of the Saum. It is, therefore, essential to abstain from committing Makrooh acts. The following acts are Makrooh during fasting:

(1) Tasting. Tasting food, etc. is Makrooh if done unnecessarily. If an ill-tempered husband shows his unjustified wrath when food has not been prepared to satisfy his taste, it will be permissible for the wife to taste the food while she is preparing it. As long as nothing goes down her throat, her fast will be valid and her act of tasting will not be makrooh.

093 The Morning Hours (Rukuh 01) (Ayats 01-11)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful.

وَالضُّحَى (1)

[93:1] I swear by the forenoon,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَى (2)

[93:2] and by the night when it becomes peaceful,

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى (3)

[93:3] your Lord (O Prophet,) has neither forsaken you, nor has become displeased.

وَلَلآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ الأُولَى (4)

[93:4] Surely the Hereafter is much better for you than the present life.
