Chapter Overview
Chapter 9 of Class 10 Tarjama Tul Quran explores Surah Bani Israil (سورة بني إسرائيل), also widely known as Surah Al-Isra (سورة الإسراء), the 17th Surah of the Holy Quran revealed in Makkah. The opening verse celebrates the magnificent miracle of Al-Isra, the miraculous nocturnal journey of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) in Makkah to the Farthest Mosque (Masjid al-Aqsa) in Jerusalem. The Surah examines the historical cycles of rise and fall of the Children of Israel (Bani Israil), demonstrating how moral corruption and defiance of divine laws inevitably invite divine retribution.
A defining centerpiece of Surah Bani Israil is the revelation of 14 foundational moral and social commandments (verses 22–39), often referred to as the Islamic manifesto of righteous living. These divine injunctions establish strict monotheism (Tawheed), demand exceptional kindness and compassion toward elderly parents (forbidding even expressing annoyance like "Uff"), command supporting needy relatives and wayfarers, condemn wasteful extravagance, prohibit killing children out of poverty, outlaw adultery (zina) and unlawful murder, safeguard orphan assets, mandate honesty in trade weights and measures, and prohibit arrogance and unsubstantiated conjecture.
For Punjab Board SSC Part 2 examinations, Chapter 9 is one of the highest-yield chapters. Board question papers frequently include subjective and objective questions on the event of Isra, the detailed explanation of the 14 ethical commandments, filial piety, translations of core ayaat, word meanings, and textbook exercise solutions. These comprehensive notes, aligned with the 2026-2027 PCTB syllabus, ensure that students of Lahore Board, Rawalpindi Board, Gujranwala Board, Faisalabad Board, Multan Board, and all other Punjab boards achieve optimal preparation for their board exams.
