يَهْدِفُ الدِّينُ الْإِسْلَامِيُّ ضِمْنَ مَا يَهْدِفُ إِلَى بِنَاءِ مُجْتَمَعٍ مُتَمَاسِكِ الْأَوْصَالِ، مُتَرَابِطِ الْأَطْرَافِ، يَنْعَمُ بِدِفْءِ الْعَلَاقَاتِ الِاجْتِمَاعِيَّةِ السَّوِيَّةِ، وَيَتَمَيَّزُ أَفْرَادُهُ بِنَقَاءِ الْقَلْبِ وَنَظَافَةِ الْمَشَاعِرِ وَعِفَّةِ اللِّسَانِ وَاحْتِرَامِ الْإِنْسَانِ وَأُخُوَّةِ الْإِيمَانِ وَصِيَانَةِ الْحُقُوقِ وَالْحُرُمَاتِ،

The Islamic religion aims, among other things, to build a society that is cohesive in its structure, interconnected in its parts, enjoying the warmth of sound social relationships, and whose members are distinguished by purity of heart, cleanliness of feelings, chastity of tongue, respect for the human being, brotherhood of faith, and the protection of rights and sanctities.

وَفِي هَذَا السِّيَاقِ جَاءَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتُ الْكَرِيمَةُ فِي سُورَةِ الْحُجُرَاتِ تُنَظِّمُ هَذَا الْمُجْتَمَعَ وَتَدْفَعُ مَا قَدْ يَقَعُ فِيهِ مِنْ قَلَاقِلَ وَفِتَنٍ بِآدَابٍ سُلُوكِيَّةٍ وَقِيَمٍ أَخْلَاقِيَّةٍ وَمَبَادِئَ سَامِيَةٍ، فَقَدْ رَسَّخَتْ آدَابًا يَتَمَيَّزُ بِهَا الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي عَلَاقَتِهِ بِأَخِيهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ؛ فَالسُّخْرِيَّةُ وَاللَّمْزُ وَالتَّنَابُزُ بِالْأَلْقَابِ سُلُوكِيَّاتٌ لَا تَعْرِفُ طَرِيقًا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَفِعْلِهِ، كَمَا حَثَّتْ عَلَى قِيَمٍ سُلُوكِيَّةٍ تَكْفُلُ الْحُرُمَاتِ وَتَصُونُ الْغِيبَةَ؛ فَالْمُؤْمِنُ لَا يَأْخُذُ أَخَاهُ بِالظَّنِّ وَلَا يَتَتَبَّعُ عُيُوبَهُ وَلَا يَتَعَرَّضُ لِكَرَامَتِهِ.

In this context, these noble verses in Surah Al-Hujurat came to organize this society and ward off any disturbances or strife that might occur within it through behavioral etiquette, moral values, and lofty principles; they established manners that distinguish the believer in his relationship with his fellow believer, as mockery, defamation, and calling each other by offensive nicknames are behaviors that find no way into his speech or actions, just as they urged behavioral values that guarantee sanctities and protect against backbiting; for the believer does not judge his brother based on suspicion, nor does he pursue his faults, nor does he violate his dignity.

فَاقْرَأْ - يَا بُنَيَّ - هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ قِرَاءَةَ مُؤْمِنٍ مُتَدَبِّرٍ مُتَأَمِّلٍ، ثُمَّ ارْجِعْ إِلَى أَحَدِ التَّفَاسِيرِ لِتَقِفَ عَلَى مَعَانِيهَا، ثُمَّ أَجِبْ عَنِ الْأَسْئِلَةِ الْآتِيَةِ:

So read, my son, these verses with the reading of a contemplative and reflective believer, then refer to one of the interpretations to understand their meanings, then answer the following questions:

أَوَّلًا - الْفَهْمُ وَالِاسْتِيعَابُ: تَضَمَّنَتِ الْآيَاتُ الْكَرِيمَةُ السَّابِقَةُ مَنْهَجًا إِسْلَامِيًّا لِبِنَاءِ عَلَاقَاتٍ اجْتِمَاعِيَّةٍ نَقِيَّةٍ بَيْنَ أَبْنَاءِ الْمُجْتَمَعِ الْمُسْلِمِ.

First - Understanding and Comprehension: The previous noble verses included an Islamic approach to building pure social relationships among the members of the Muslim community.

اذْكُرْ ثَلَاثَةً مِنْ مُقَوِّمَاتِ هَذَا الْمَنْهَجِ.

Mention three of the foundations of this approach.

تَسُودُ الْمُجْتَمَعَ الْإِسْلَامِيَّ الَّذِي يَسْتَظِلُّ بِالْمَنْهَجِ الَّذِي وَضَعَتْهُ الْآيَاتُ السَّابِقَةُ قِيَمٌ فَاضِلَةٌ، بَيِّنْ ثَلَاثًا مِنْهَا.

Virtuous values prevail in the Islamic society that is sheltered by the approach set forth by the previous verses; clarify three of them.

كَانَ الْمُجْتَمَعُ الْإِسْلَامِيُّ الْأَوَّلُ مِثَالًا حَيًّا لِتَطْبِيقِ ذَلِكَ الْمَنْهَجِ.

The first Islamic society was a living example of the application of that approach.

وَضِّحْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ خِلَالِ ثَقَافَتِكَ الْإِسْلَامِيَّةِ.

Clarify that through your Islamic knowledge.

إِذَا تَخَلَّى الْمُجْتَمَعُ عَنِ الْقِيَمِ الَّتِي دَعَتْ إِلَيْهَا الْآيَاتُ السَّابِقَةُ، فَمَا الْحَالُ الَّتِي يَؤُولُ إِلَيْهَا؟

If society abandons the values called for by the previous verses, what state will it end up in?

ضَعْ عَلَامَةَ «» أَمَامَ مَا يُنَاسِبُ كُلَّ آيَةٍ مِمَّا يَلِيهَا:

Place a mark «» in front of what corresponds to each verse from what follows it:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمْ، هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ تُؤَكِّدُ أَنَّ:

O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; this verse confirms that:

لِكُلِّ فَرْدٍ فِي الْمُجْتَمَعِ الْإِسْلَامِيِّ كَرَامَتُهُ الَّتِي لَا تُمَسُّ.

Every individual in the Islamic society has their dignity which must not be violated.

الْقِيَمُ الظَّاهِرَةُ لَيْسَتْ هِيَ الْقِيَمُ الْحَقِيقِيَّةُ بَلْ هُنَاكَ قِيَمٌ خَافِيَةٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ.

Apparent values are not the true values; rather, there are hidden values that only Allah knows.

السَّاخِرُ مُعْجَبٌ بِنَفْسِهِ.

The mocker is conceited.
