Abstract

SŪrat al-Balad is a short SŪrah of the last Para of the Qur’an in which the Islamic way of life is presented comprehensively and in a systematic manner. The human struggle for the collective practical aspects of life is also described in the SŪrah. Organizing anything is very important, it helps to meet the social needs of the people. On this occasion, twelve essential points of individual human needs have been written in the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah, which reflect the basic tenets of Islamic society. In this short essay, all matters ranging from the personal duties of man to the collective affairs are discussed in the light of SŪrat al-Balad. It is incumbent upon every Muslim to devote his energies selflessly in these fields of labor, not to adopt a dishonest, immoral and unprincipled and oppressive attitude because the negative attitude of struggle is fatal to humans.
