Upon ascension to power, Abrah built a massive church for the Christians. Despite being attended by Christians, Abrha was annoyed with the fact that continous pilgramages of worship and trade were being made to the Kabah. In an attempt to persuade the people away from the Kabah, Abraha built a replica of the Kabah inside the church. When some of Quraysh heard about this, they went to Abrhah's church and defecated inside it. Furthermore, once the news that Abrha wanted to destroy the holy kabah, they snuck into the church and burnded it to the ground. All of which led up to Abra- ha marching to Mecca with a giant army led by an infantry of elphants.

  • Tafsīr Surah Al-Kafirun
    Tafsīr Surah al-Kafirun By Haider Hobbollah Transcribed and translated by Syed Ali Imran (Canada) Names, Reasons of Revelation The chapter has been referred to in three ways in Islamic works: 1. Surah al-Kāfirūn 2. Surah al-Juḥd – since Juḥd means rejection, this name was probably given due to the rejection that appears in the later verses 3. Surah al-Muqashqisha – some have called both this and Surah Ikhlās together as al-Muqashqishatān. Qashqasha means to sweep away and abandon something, and the chapter is given this name because of the rejection (barā’ah) mentioned in the verses. A group of disbelievers in Makkah, including al-Ḥārith b. Qays al-Sahmī, al-‘Āṣ b. Wā’il, al-Walīd b. Mughīrah, Umayyah b. Khalaf and others, came to the Prophet (p) and said to him, why do you not worship what we worship, and we will worship what you worship for a time period, after which we will see whose god and worship is better, who sees the results of their worship soon after. If your god and worship are better then that will be a moment of pride for the Quraysh and we will take a share of it, but if you (p) find that our gods and worship are better then you shall take a share of it. As per historical reports, the Prophet (p) rejected their offer. This chapter was revealed and the Prophet (p) left the Masjid al-Ḥarām and recited it in front of the people. This is the popular report describing the reasons for the chapter’s revelation, both in Sunnī and Shī’ī texts, the latter works including traditions from the Ahl al-Bayt (a) as well.

  • Surah & Verses Facts
    Surah & Verses Facts Verses Recited: 1 - al-Faatihah – ‘The Opening’, 2 - Baqarah – ‘The Cow’ (Verses 1-141) Objective: Al-Baqarah’s main objective is the succession of man on earth. To put it simply, it calls upon us, “You Muslims are responsible for earth”. Other Facts: Al-Baqarah is the first surah to be revealed in Al-Madinah after the Prophet’s emigration - Surat Al-Baqara is the longest surah in the Qur’an comprising of 286 ayahs Surah 1 - al-Faatihah –‘ The Opening Summary: It is named al-Faatihah, the Opening - because it opens the Book and by it the recitation in prayer commences. It is also named Ummul Qur`aan, the Mother of the Qur`aan, and Ummul Kitaab, the Mother of the Book. In essence it is the supplication to which what follows from the Quran is the response. Surah 2 - Baqarah –‘The Cow’ Summary: This is the longest Surah of the Quran, and in it occurs the longest verse (2:282). The name of the Surah is from the Parable of the Cow (2:67-71), which illustrates the insufficiency of quarrelsome obedience. When faith is lost, people put off obedience with various excuses; even when at last they obey in the letter, they fail in the spirit and this prevents them from seeing that spiritually they are not alive but dead. For life is movement, activity, striving, fighting against baser things. And this is the burden of the Surah. Verses Description The surah begins by classifying men into three broad categories, depending on how they receive God’s 2:1-29 message 2:30-39 The story of the creation of man, the high destiny intended for him, his fall, and the hope held out to him The story of the children of Israel is told according to their own traditions – what privileges they received and 2:40-86 how they abused them thus illustrating again as a parable the general story of man.

  • Tafseer Surah Al-Fil Notes on Nouman Ali Khan’S Concise Commentary of the Quran
    (اﻟﻔﯿﻞ) Tafseer Surah al-Fil Notes on Nouman Ali Khan’s Concise Commentary of the Quran By Rameez Abid Introduction ● This surah is in reference to the story of Abraha, who was a Christian military leader and part of the Roman empire, and it took place before the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). He built a huge church and wanted the Arabs to venerate it instead of the Ka’ba. He also wanted to do this for financial reasons because due to the Ka’ba, Mecca was a center for business and he wanted to shift the financial attention to his own region in Yemen ○ Some Arabs went to his new church and defecated in it to insult him for trying to take attention away from the Ka’ba. Abraha was furious and decided to take an army of 60,000, which would consist of elephants as well, to Mecca to destroy the Ka’ba in vengeance ■ However, when he got close to the Ka’ba with his army, Allah destroyed them by sending birds who pelted them with stones ○ Some suggest this was the year in which the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was born ● Some of the companions viewed this surah and the one after it (Surah al-Quraysh) as one surah. They would not put Basmallah between them for that reason ○ They both need to be understood together because they complement each other and are connected ■ This surah discusses the security of Mecca and Surah al-Quraysh discusses its prosperity. For any society to prosper, it needs both of these things ○ We need to understand that the safety and prosperity of Mecca was due to the supplication of Ibrahim (pbuh), which he made when he was building the Ka’ba with his son Ismaeel (pbuh) ■ He had asked Allah to make Mecca safe and fill it with all kinds of fruit because it was a barren desert without life.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This Chapter Provided Fundamental
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter provided fundamental ideas of analyze the difference sentence structure portrayed between Meccan and Medinan surahs of Shakir’sQu’ran English translation. It consists of background of the study, research problem, research objectives, significance of the study, scope and limitation, and definition of key term. 1.1. Background of the study Tree diagram has becomes an interestingfield to be investigated of many researchers in the past decade. Therefore the development of research on tree diagram develops constantly. A series of the research have been analyzed the tree diagram as their study on undergraduate thesis (Yun, 2009), book (Haryati, 2015), newspaper (Nani, 2003), magazine (Muhammad, 2012), corpus (Dukes, et.al, 2013), language spoken (Timothy, 2014) and journal research article (Qiang, 2010). Tree diagram is important to understand by assigning an individual tree diagram to each rule and can help to get understanding of ambiguous sentences. Muhammad (2012) said that an ambiguity occurs when a word, a phrase, a sentence can be understood or interpreted in more than one meaning. In another word can say that ambiguity occurs because a word a phrase or a sentence has 1 digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 2 unclear meaning.Thus, a sentence can be proved to be grammatically appropriate with the help of structure description. Tree diagram consist of some contexts such as types of sentences, phrases, clauses, and word classes. Some other researchers have already done their study in various focuses of tree diagram, such as pronoun (Timothy, 2014), sentence (Nani, 2003), adverb (Muhammed, 2013), structures (Muhammad, 2012), noun phrase (Haryati, 2015), and types of sentences(Chandni, et.al, 2014).

  • The Central Islamic Lands
    77 THEME The Central Islamic 4 Lands AS we enter the twenty-first century, there are over 1 billion Muslims living in all parts of the world. They are citizens of different nations, speak different languages, and dress differently. The processes by which they became Muslims were varied, and so were the circumstances in which they went their separate ways. Yet, the Islamic community has its roots in a more unified past which unfolded roughly 1,400 years ago in the Arabian peninsula. In this chapter we are going to read about the rise of Islam and its expansion over a vast territory extending from Egypt to Afghanistan, the core area of Islamic civilisation from 600 to 1200. In these centuries, Islamic society exhibited multiple political and cultural patterns. The term Islamic is used here not only in its purely religious sense but also for the overall society and culture historically associated with Islam. In this society not everything that was happening originated directly from religion, but it took place in a society where Muslims and their faith were recognised as socially dominant. Non-Muslims always formed an integral, if subordinate, part of this society as did Jews in Christendom. Our understanding of the history of the central Islamic lands between 600 and 1200 is based on chronicles or tawarikh (which narrate events in order of time) and semi-historical works, such as biographies (sira), records of the sayings and doings of the Prophet (hadith) and commentaries on the Quran (tafsir). The material from which these works were produced was a large collection of eyewitness reports (akhbar) transmitted over a period of time either orally or on paper.

Investigative Notes on Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall’s Translation of the Qur’anic Surahs’ Names. International Journal of Language and Linguistics. Vol. 7, No. 6, 2019, pp. 286-297. doi: 10.11648/j.ijll.20190706.16 Received : October 7, 2019; Accepted : October 26, 2019; Published : November 5, 2019 Abstract: The Meaning of The Glorious Qur’an of Muhammad Marmaduke is one of the earliest English translations of the Qur’an conducted by Muslims’ translators and the first translation conducted by an English-speaking Muslim scholar. This translation of the Qur’an has been the focus of a number of studies that scrutinise it from different angles. Yet, there has been no thoughtful study dedicated to investigate the issue of Pickthall’s translation of the Qur’anic surahs’ names. Utilising the Contrastive Analysis approach as a theoretical framework, this study aims to fill this gap by assessing the accuracy of the equivalents provided by Pickthall to the 114 Qur’anic surahs’ names. The study consists of an introduction and five sections. It gives a succinct description of the Qur’anic surahs’ names, pinpoints the major features of Pickthall’s translation of the Qur’an, details his own approach in handling the Qur’anic surahs’ names, and analytically discusses the difficulties he encountered when rendering such vital terms of the Qur’an into English.
