Quran verse

Quranic Verses

All these verses are Madni (revealed in Madina ) in their origin where a new Muslim society was going to be founded . So mostly these verses were related to social life and its facets . The Arabia of that time was littered with socio-cultural evils . When Muslims moved to Madina after Hijrah (migration , they found it easy to practise their own faith and found a community surrounded by Jews and Christians . So Muslim were commended and entrusted with the duty to reform the world . They were instructed to good and whatever is

beneficial too humanity . Here Quran does not specify or limit good by defining it but in Islam there are peculiar absolute goods and evils

Another important historical context is that first two of the three stated verses were revealed after Battle of Badr (3 :110 ) and Battle of Tabuk (9 :112 . The victorious Muslims were directed not to waste their energies in vain jubilations and were reminded of their true purpose i .e . to eradicate religious and moral degeneration . These verses are not related to the religious ritualism but are directed toward the social benefits . It further asks individuals to check their own propensities first and refrain themselves from social evils first and perform social goods

These verses correspond to the contemporary society . Contemporary society suffers from socio-cultural evils and there is dire need on the part of the Muslims to reform their society and disseminate this message of Quran universally . Muslim Community in particular and world in general are prone to various social maladies i .e . corruption , nepotism social delinquencies , usurpation of the rights of the individuals etc So these Quranic command are more relevant today...
