SUMMARY OF JUZZ 21

In this Juz, we cover five separate chapters: the conclusion of al-Ankabut (Spider), al-Rum (Romans), Luqman, al-Sajda (Prostration) and the start of al-Ahzab (Confederates). Some of the important verses in this Juz are Allah prophesying the defeat of the Byzantines and then their victory (al-Rum), the counsel of Luqman which summarizes the requirements of faith and model conduct and verses in al-Ahzab dealing with the aspects of social reorganization in respect of family and communal life. Although revealed to the Madinan community, its many rulings are more than relevant to us today.
