Praise be to Allah, the Lord of worlds;
peace and blessings of Allah be upon His
messenger Muhammad, the trustworthy
guide, and upon his family, his companions
and those who follow his guidance till the
Day of Judgment. The Holy Qur'an starts
with Surah Al-Fatiha, the greatest surah, and
is followed by Surah Al- Baqarah, which

classifies people into three general catego-
ries, as follows:

l-The first category are the believers, as
mentioned in four verses in the said Surah
(Al-Baqara).
2-The second one is the disbelievers, as
mentioned in two verses thereof.
3-The third one is the hypocrites, their
f-eatures are mentioned in thirteen verses
thereof. Commenting on these said
verses, Al-Sheikh Sayed Kutub pointed
out in his book "In The Shade of Qur'an"
that by mentioning these three categories,

Allah orders mankind to select the

straight path, which is totally pure (mono-
theistic), beneficial, ethical, successful,

and dutiful - this is the character of the
righteous.
Al-Sheikh Sayed Kutub (-uy Allah
have mercy upon him) was exceptionally
skillful in interpretation of the Holy Qur'an
and when he came to the verse, "O mankind!
Worship your Lord. Who created you and

become pious" ' which came after mention-
ing the three categories, the believers, disbe-
lievers and hypocrites. The way to straight

guidance and to gain knowledge of the one-
ness of Allah and not joining others in wor-
ship with Allah, as clarified in the verse

"...Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in
worship) while you know tha! He alone has
the right to be worshipped" '. A rival is a
contestant or emulator, this applies on every
' Surah Al- Baqarah, verse (21)
2 Surah Al- Baqarah, verse (22)
2

illegal religious offensive, based on the type

of offensive which could be as great as wor-
shiping others with Allah, the Greatest. The

worshiping others with Allah comes in three
levels: Major, Minor and Hidden.

Let the noble reader with the interpre-
tation of the clear verses be guided and di-
rected to the straight way and explore faith

through with sweet and bright interpretation
from the book "In the Shade of the Qur'an".
Allah says the truth and He guides people to
the straight path.
Allah says, "O Manktnd! Ug$bip
your Lord rvho created you and those who
were before you so that you may become the
pious. Who has made thg-earth a resting
place fbr you. and the sky as a canop)'. and
sent down rain from the sky and brogght
forth therewith fruits as a provision for you.

Then do not set up rivals unto Ailah (in wor-
ship) while you know tbat He Alone has the

right to be worshipped"



EVER SINCE its revelation 1400 years ago, the Qur’an has been a book of guidance and inspiration, a reference point, and a rich source of social and moral dynamism for hundreds of millions of people throughout the world who believe it to be the immutable word of God.
