Thank you for your question. The exegetical literature surrounding the Quran shows that interpreting the Quran and clarifying its meanings is something that is allowed. What is not allowed is superimposing our opinions and ideas on the Quran and interpreting it according to our whims. Reflecting on the message of the Quran is an essential aspect of an Islamic way of life, but that should be done while also seeking clarification from scholars who can access the available literature to provide educated perspectives.

May you always be successful.

Are there any verses in the Qur'an that prohibit singing by women?

Singing by women is not specifically mentioned by the Qur'an.

However, verses 31:6 and 23:3 are often interpreted to refer to a prohibition on music, or certain types of music, due to the use of the words lughw and lahw (vain or idle speech).

In Surat al-Ahzab, there are also instructions to the Prophet's wives telling them to speak "plainly".

Hope that helps!

Qur'anic Verse . Qur'an . Surat al-Tawbah

What were the circumstances surrounding the revelation of the Qur'anic verses 29-33 of Sura al-Tawba?

It was to counter the attack and plans of the enemies of Islam and Muslims. Islam orders Muslims to fight against the enemies who plan and try to attack Muslims, but to be peaceful with those who do not attack Muslims (Allah does not forbid you to deal nicely and kindly with those (Non Muslims) who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes (Sura 60, Verse 8).

Qur'anic Exegesis (Tafsir) . Qur'anic Verse . Surah . Al-Qalam

What is the commentary of verses 12-14 of Surah Qalam?

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. The verses can be rendered in English as follows:

“...hinderer of good, a transgressing sinner, churlish, surly, and ignoble withal - simply because he possesses wealth and children.”

This set of verses is a continuation of a vivid description of the traits of the enemies of the Prophet (saw) and are set beside the first set of verses in this chapter that extoll the great character of the Prophet (saw). They are people who not only don’t perform good but prevent others from doing so. They are so soiled with sin that sin has become part of their nature. They are churlish, meaning that they are ill natured and mean spirited and on top of that they have no apparent origin (meaning they have no clear father).

The following verse is a warning why it may be that these people have such traits. These verses show that the Prophet (saw) never submitted to people of this nature just because of their wealth and affluence, but rather spread the true message of Islam, whether these people were amiable to it or not.

For some insights into the rest if the chapter please refer to: Exegesis of the Qurʾān; sūratul Mulk to sūratul Mursalāt, translated by Saleem Bhimji and edited by Arifa Hudda (Ontario: Islamic Humanitarian Service & Islamic Publishing House, 2012). The chapter of al-Qalam is the second chapter discussed in this book.

Qur'anic Verse . Qur'an . Schizophrenia . Hallucination

Are there any Qur'anic verses that can help get rid of Schizophrenia, hallucinations, and hearing voices?

1. Quran itself is a cure from every illness (Cure and Mercy for the believers)(Al-Israa: 82).

Reciting Quran is a very useful way to healing especially when you try to understand what you recite and keep your heart with its meanings like a person who is listening to Allah (SWT).

Reciting Quran with clear voice when ever you can with out disturbing others, might be more helpful as your heart and ears and eyes and mind join the great taste of listening to the Word f Allah.

You can recite any Chapter or Verse from Quran but there is great benefits mentioned from reciting Ayatul Kursi (Sura Al-Baqara: 255), Sura Al-Hamd, Sura Al-Tawhed, Sura Al-Qadr, Sura Yaseen, Sura Tabaarak, Sura Al- Inshiraah and other Suras.

You can recite the Sura or Verse that your heart feels more effected by it in your specific situation.

2. Remembering Allah ذكر الله is very useful in getting peace of mind as Allah says (Surely, by remembering Allah, hearts get peace and comfort) ألا بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب ((13:28).

Repeating glorifying Allah, Subhaanallah, Thenking Allah, Alhamdulillah, seeking forgiveness, Astaghfirullah and other forms of remembering Allah is very useful.

3. The best recitation iS salutations on the Prophet and his Holy Progeny (ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMAD WA AALI MUHAMMAD). We have authentic Hadeeths that reciting Salawaat grants the heart peace and tranquility and elevates our spirituality and makes us get the blessings from Allah and the supplications of the angles.

Bismihi ta'ala

There is no problem in doing so, although some jurists have mentioned that it is makruh to read off of something while praying, however it would be better to read off of the Quran, or dua book, or mobile for the purpose of performing that particular prayer, until one is able to memorise it.

Meaning . Qur'anic Verse . Surah . Qur'an . Islam . Idolatry . Surat al-Najm

What is the meaning behind verses 19-20 of Surah Najm? Why were the names of these three goddesses mentioned in the Quran if the teachings of Islam are completely against idolatry?

Quran is challenging the idol worshippers ( Did you see Allaat and Ozza and Manaat) which are three famous idols worshipped by them, that they can never help you or any one. So, mentioning the names of these three idols was to challenge the idol worshippers and condemn idol worshipping. Some scholars suggest that it might be a hint for Muslims who will blindly follow three persons like worshipping them, as they will never help them in this life and hereafter and warn from the harm of such blind following of such wrong leaders.
