ILMIHALL-3 Commands

Commands organizes the commandments directed toward humanity in the Qur’an under five main headings. Among these, we can observe a concentration of commands centered on morality and human nature (fitrah). This is significant as it highlights where the general errors, crimes, and sins of the polytheists (mushriks) were primarily concentrated. The question of “What does Allah ask of man?” can be partially answered by this book, while the question “What did Allah ask of those people?” is largely addressed. I can confidently say that this is one of the best books to answer the question, “For what purpose were these commands given?” If this book is to be criticized or praised, it should be done from this standpoint.
Everything Allah demanded from the polytheists was aimed at encouraging them to think and act consistently. This book seeks to reveal the points where this claim is validated. Since acts of worship, commands, and prohibitions are examined separately, they are not covered in this book. The purpose here is not to catalog all the commands of the Qur’an but to engage the mind in understanding why each command was given, encouraging deep reflection on it. The aim is to pave the way for finding answers to the question, “What might Allah ask of us today?” based on principles and context, rather than on personal opinions and interpretations.
The main headings focus on the universal objectives of the commands, while the explanations encourage reflection on which actions today should be undertaken, tested, or produced to achieve those objectives. Just as justice was demanded from the polytheists, it can certainly be interpreted that justice is also demanded from us. The challenge lies in making a consistent choice about how to fulfill this justice from the available options.
