📖 Surah An-Nisa (4:24 – 4:147)
Juz 5 continues Surah An-Nisa, which establishes the framework for a just and ethical society. The core theme of this Juz is justice—whether in family, governance, or faith—and the responsibility that comes with it.
A significant portion of this Juz lays out marriage and inheritance laws, ensuring fairness and the protection of women’s rights (4:24–35). These rulings aim to create balance and prevent exploitation in personal relationships.
The Juz then expands to the importance of leadership and trust, emphasizing that those in positions of power must govern with fairness (4:58–59). Hypocrisy is condemned, as actions—not just words—define true faith (4:88–115). A just society cannot exist without personal integrity and commitment to truth.
Another key aspect of this Juz is perseverance in the face of difficulty. Life is full of trials, but believers are reminded that patience and trust in Allah lead to success (4:135). The verses here offer reassurance that Allah’s mercy is near for those who seek justice and stand for what is right (4:40).
Key Themes:
- Justice in Family and Society (Core Theme):Justice is the foundation of an Islamic society—whether in family matters, wealth distribution, or governance. A believer must stand for truth, even against personal interests (4:135).
- Marriage, Inheritance, and Ethical Conduct:Islam ensures fairness in family relationships, promoting responsibility, protection, and mutual respect (4:24–35).

- The Danger of Hypocrisy:Faith is not just about words—it is reflected in actions. Those who claim to believe but act unjustly are warned of severe consequences (4:88–115).
- Patience in Trials:Hardships are a test of faith. Those who remain steadfast and trust in Allah will ultimately find success (4:40).
