20Th Jan 2019 Rejoice at the bounty of Allah – The Quran 20th January 2019 Introduction Allah commands us in the Quran to remember the favors of Allah. This favor includes the Quran, Faith, Knowledge, islam and attending the study circles. Hadith: Allah (glorified and exalted be He) has supernumerary angels who rove about seeking out gatherings in which Allah's name is being invoked: they sit with them and fold their wings round each other, filling that which is between them and between the lowest heaven. When [the people in the gathering] depart, [the and (mighty Allah Then said: ( ﻠﺻ ﻰ ﷲ ﻋ ﻠ ﯿ ﮫ ﺳو ﻠ ﻢ Prophet (the He heaven. to up rise and ascend angels] sublime be He) asks them - [though] He is most knowing about them: From where have you come? And they say: We have come from some servants of Yours on Earth: they were glorifying You (Subhana llah), exalting you (Allahu akbar), witnessing that there is no god but You (La ilaha illa llah), praising You (Al- Hamdu lillah), and asking [favours] of You. He says: And what do they ask of Me? They say: They ask of You Your Paradise. He says: And have they seen My Paradise? They say: No, O Lord. He says: And how would it be were they to have seen My Paradise! They say: And they ask protection of You. He says: From what do they ask protection of Me? They say: From Your Hell-fire, O Lord. He says: And have they seen My Hell-fire? They say: NO. He says: And how would it be were they to have seen My Hell-fire: They say: And them forgiven have I says: He Then said: ( ﻠﺻ ﻰ ﷲ ﻋ ﻠ ﯾ ﮫ ﺳو ﻠ م Prophet (the He forgiveness. Your for ask they and I have bestowed upon them what they have asked for, and I have granted them sanctuary from that is then among Lord, O say: They said: ( ﻠﺻ ﻰ ﷲ ﻠﻋ ﮫﯿ ﻠﺳو ﻢ Prophet (the He protection. asked they which from So-and-so, a much sinning servant, who was merely passing by and sat down with them. He (the Prophet people such with sits who he forgiveness: given have I [too] him to And says: He And said: ( ﻠﺻ ﻰ ﷲ ﻋ ﻠ ﯿ ﮫ ﺳو ﻠ ﻢﻠﺳ shall not suffer. It was related by Muslim (also by al- Bukhari, at-Tirmidhi, and an-Nasa'i).) Surah Maryam Ayah 65 In Ayah 45 we are told when we know Allah is the lords of the worlds then we must worship Him. Allah then asks us if we know anyone who resembles Allah. Sheikh As Saadi says here Allah is inquiring if we know anyone who is equal to Allah in his greatness ? is there anyone who is like Allah from among the created being. Do you know anyone who resembles Allah because: 1. He is the Rabb, the creator. Anyone other than him is subdued to his lordship. 2. Allah is the creator and everyone else is created 3. Allah is self-sufficient in all his aspects. His creation are in need in all aspects. 4. Allah is absolutely perfect in his creation in concealing of our sins, in mending our hearts. The creation is deficient in all aspects. This means we should be attached to the one who is perfect. This is a definitive proof that only Allah deserves to be worshipped. This is call to Tauheed and oneness of Allah. Worship of Allah is the truth and worship of anyone else is falsehood. How to act upon this verse? There is no one like Allah 1. We have to tell ourselves that whenever we admire someone for their generosity and our heart is attached to the person then we need to remind ourselves that people are not perfect and that the generosity of Allah is perfect 2. We should not be angry with people because Allah created them deficient. 3. Allah is perfect so we need to only go to him to remove our pain and shortcomings. 2 4. We must remind ourselves of this verse in order to perfect our Tauheed. This verse is like a medicine/ cure for our hearts when we are attached to the people and they hurt us. How Allah deals with his servants with regards to Guidance Allah mentions in many verses in the Quran that Allah guides whomever He wills and He misguides whomever He wills. Whenever Allah mentions about His will it is joined with his knowledge and wisdom. Surah Insaan Ayah 30 In this Ayah, Allah tells us we don’t will except for what Allah wills. Allah guides and misguides based on his knowledge and His wisdom. Allah knows who deserves to be guides and who deserves to be misguided. Let us see from the Quran whom Allah guides and who is misguided. 3 Surah Maryam Ayah 75 and 76 Whoever is in error, Allah will extend his time and wealth to increase him in error. This person is completely engrossed in misguidance. Allah showed us the way to Paradise and the way to Hellfire. If we chose the guidance then Allah will increase me in guidance and if we chose misguidance then Allah will increase me in misguidance. 4 Surah Al Kahf Ayah 13 The youth mentioned in Surah Kahf believed in Allah and Allah increased them in guidance. So it is us who have to take the first step then Allah will increase us in guidance Now Let us see from the Quran whom Allah does not guide Surah Al Baqarah Ayah 258 5 Here we are told Allah does not guide the Zalimeen i.e. wrong doers. It is mentioned in the Quran eight times that Allah does not guide the wrong doers i.e. the one who associated other gods with Allah or He did not worship Allah at all. He wronged the people by backbiting them or taking their rights etc. or he is earning unlawful earning or eating unlawful. We need to look at ourselves and see if we are doing wrong in our worship to Allah or in our relationship with people. Allah leaves such people in their state of misguidance. Therefore we must not blame anyone but ourselves Surah Al Baqarah Ayah 264 Kufr is of two types 1. Major: To disbelief in Allah 2. Minor: To be ungrateful to Allah’s favors or to attribute Allah’s favor to someone else. Allah will not guide the Kafireen. Sheikh As Saadi said the disbelievers are those have placed that good deeds in wrong place. Who they turn away from the worship of Allah when Allah alone is the one to give benefit to the people. Because the people turned away from Allah so Allah turned them away from guidance. 6 Surah Al Maida Ayah 108 Here Allah tells us that he does not guide the rebellious and disobedient people. We need to check if we are obedient to Allah in order to seek guidance of Allah. Surah Yusuf Ayah 52 7 Allah does not guide the plot of betrayers. A betrayer is someone who was entrusted and he showed treachery. Betrayal has different forms i.e. it can happen between people or between spouses. Allah will not guide those who are ploting and betraying. Surah Zumar Ayah 3 Allah will not guide those who deny the signs of Allah and disbelieves and rejects them. Sheikh As Saadi said Allah will not guide a person who is given signs and admonition through his circumstances but the person is lying to himself and blaming others. 8 Surah Ghafir Ayah 28 The one who transgresses the limits is the one who shuns the truth and turns to falsehood. He does not respect the limit of Allah. No matter how much a person lies, one day Allah will disclose his reality to the people.An example mentioned in the Quran is of Firoun who told Ha’man to build a tower for him so he can reach the means to reach the heavens so he can see the God of Musa. Then Firoun said he thinks Musa is a liar. Surah Ghafir Ayah 36 and 37 9 Whom does Allah guide and whom does He not guide? • If a person desires guidance and seeks it then surely Allah will guide him. • Allah will guide whoever is truthful. • Allah does not guide the one who’s an oppressor, disobedient, transgressor, liar, betrayer, ungrateful. Surah Taha Ayah 1 to 8 How do we act upon Ayah 1-6 ? We Ask Allah for His mercy. Ar Rahman is Allah’s vastest attribute and the Throne is the greatest creation thus we should never despair from Allah’s mercy when we commit sins. It will so happen that the shaitan will magnify our sin to make it greater than Allah’s mercy and make us fall into desperation from Allah’s mercy. When we fall into sin, he will make us seek mercy to other than Allah The shaitan will remind the person of what he did in the past and make him feel miserable such that some people commit suicide or others leave Islam. It does not matter how 10 many sins a person may have, but he needs to know Allah is Ar Rahman and He will take him into His mercy. There are those whom wherever they go, they fail in their worldly achievement until they fall into desperation from Allah’s mercy. Such a person is lacking three things: 1.

    HOW TO READ THE QURAN PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Mona Siddiqui | 128 pages | 03 Jul 2014 | GRANTA BOOKS | 9781783780273 | English | London, United Kingdom The Noble Quran | This will give you a foundation from which to start, and some understanding of the vocabulary and message of the Quran. Some places to gain this knowledge:. The Quran was revealed in the Arabic language , and the original text has remained unchanged in that language since the time of its revelation. If you do not read Arabic, you'll need to obtain a translation, which is, at best, an interpretation of the Arabic meaning. Translations vary in their style and their faithfulness to the Arabic original. As an accompaniment to the Quran, it is helpful to have an exegesis , or commentary, to refer to as you read along. While many English translations contain footnotes, certain passages may need extra explanation or need to be placed in a complete context. A variety of good commentaries are available at bookstores or on-line retailers. The Quran challenges the reader to think about its message, ponder its meaning, and accept it with understanding rather than blind faith. The Quran is the central text in the religion of Islam. The holy book of the Quran includes Surah. The revelation place of these Surah is different, for example, some revealed in Makkah, and some revealed in Madina. The word Quran is in the holy book of the Quran 70 times. The holy book of the Quran itself describes its importance. There is countless Ayah, which narrates the significance of the Quran as the Holy book.

Hence this study wishes to fill in the gap by describing a new concept of Quran ontology for the sama’ verses from an existing data. This study also aims to highlight the unique features of sama’ verses by using data extraction based on ontology processes. In doing so, this study analyzes every single feature and gives it an appropriate interpretation. In addition to Quran, this study uses all sources of both classic Islamic and modern science literatures as part of references to enhance existing methodology and findings. The result from this study is applicable to be used for ear, nose and throat (ENT) medical health and important to encapsulate the benefit of ontology in representing an authentic information from Quran.

  • A Qur'anic Miracle in 3 Letters
    Secrets of Quran Miracle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.kaheel7.com/eng A QUR’ANIC MIRACLE IN 3 LETTERS New Research About "The Numeric Miracle In The Holy Quran" 1 Secrets of Quran Miracle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.kaheel7.com/eng Among the real mysteries of the Holy Qur’an are those seemingly random letters found at the forefront of about one quarter of the chapters of the Qur’an. That being said, has the age arrived where we finally discover at least some of the secrets behind these ‘special’ letters? Can the language of numbers reveal some of their marvels? Although scholars have never been able to fully explain the meaning behind these letters, most have appropriately given their opinion on the matter by saying, “God knows best!”. Indeed, they did not discourage reflecting upon these letters and researching them. And as such, we have undertaken a detailed study into the arrangement and repetition of these mystifying letters, only to discover that underlying them is a most profound miracle of numbers. In this part is an abundance of numeric illustrations depicting the relationship of these letters with the number 7, which is the basis of the these letters’ numeric system and the foundation of the numeric miracle in general. This part is also a response to any claims that the Holy Qur’an contains meaningless letters, because the numeric system behind the special letters is clear evidence of their inimitability, in today’s age of numbers and information. The Most Mysterious Letters After witnessing, in previous parts, some of the numeric wonders of the first verse in the Qur’an and the first chapter, what about the first verse in the second chapter, which .or “Alif , (ﺍﻟـــﻡ) represents the first example of a ‘special phrase’ in the Qur’an, namely Lām.

  • An Analysis of the Mysterious Letters of the Qur'an
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 3 Issue 4 ǁ April. 2014ǁ PP.49-55 An Analysis of the Mysterious Letters of the Qur’an 1,Attahir Shehu Mainiyo , 2,Muhammad Dahiru Shuni 1,2,Department Of Islamic Studies, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto ABSTRACT: As one of the articles of Faith, belief in divine scriptures is incumbent upon every Muslim. Allah (SWT) revealed His Books to His Prophets before Muhammad (SAW) and that these Books have been revealed to early Prophets as Allah (SWT) revealed the Qur’an to Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The important thing to note is that Allah (SWT) has guaranteed the Glorious Qur’an immunity with regard to its accuracy and purity from all distortions, alteration and corruption, the privilege that has not been given to other revealed Books. On the other hand, mysterious letters, being unique letter combination that begins certain chapters of the Qur’an, form one of the aspects of Qur’anic miracles. These, however, are known to be Fawatih, openers as they form the opening verse of the respective chapters in the glorious Qur’an. There are twenty nine Surahs in the Qur’an with mysterious letters, containing fourteen different letters from the Arabic alphabets. It is against this background that this article intends to study the chapters of the Glorious Qur'an with mysterious letters and views of scholars on these Huruf al-Muqatta'at. I. INTRODUCTION: In the name of Allah (SWT), the Beneficent, the Merciful. All praise is due to Allah (SWT), who created mankind and revealed to them the Glorious Qur’an and made it a source of advice, healing, guidance and mercy for those who have faith.
