Flow Chart Macro Structure 11. Surah NurulQuran Dawrah e Quran Flow Chart Macro Structure 11. Surah Hud (Prophet’s name) Verses: 123; Makki; Paragraphs: 8 Period of Revelation: If we consider its theme deeply, we come to the conclusion that it was revealed during the same period as Surah Yunus and most probably followed it immediately. The Surah deals with the same subject as Surah Yunus, that is, invitation to the Message, admonition and warning, with this difference that the warning is sterner. This is also supported by a Tradition: Paragraph 8: V 100-123 Paragraph 1: Conclusion; V 1-28 discard shirk, and Introduction, worship Allah and Allah message of alone Tawhid Paragraph 7: Paragraph 2: V V 95-99: Story of Main Themes: 29-46 Musa as and The invitation is this: Story of Nuh as punishment for Obey the Messenger and punishment Ferro & his nation. of Allah; discard shirk, for his Nation. and worship Allah and Allah alone: establish the entire Paragraph 6: V 83- system of your life on 94 the belief that you Story of Shoaib as shall be called to Paragraph 3: V and punishment account in the 47-56 for his Nation.

It is related that after its revelation, once Hadrat Abu Bakr said to the Holy Prophet, "Of late I have been noticing that you are growing older and older. What is the cause of it?" The Holy Prophet replied, "Surah Hud and the like Surahs have made me old." This shows that it was a very hard time for the Holy Prophet and these severe warnings added greatly to his anxieties that were caused by the harassment from the Quraish, who were doing their worst to crush down the Message of Islam. For it was obvious to the Holy Prophet that the last limit of the respite given by Allah was approaching nearer and nearer and he was afraid lest the term of the respite should expire and his people be seized by the torment. 1 .

This is what Islam is keen to assert, protect, care for, and ensure its existence because of its importance for the continuation of Islam and its mission over time, which always makes it a fertile field for research; especially when Islam is attacked from every angle, including the tayyibāt. Moreover, it is also to remind the Muslims of their religion’s constants and its teachings to help them in facing of this incoming corruption, whereby their non-Muslims promote all types of khabāith (bad things), such as doctrines of religious groups and secularism; food and drinks such as alcohol, drugs, marijuana, and others, which requires the continued vigilance of Muslims and their keenness to protect the believes of the Ummah, its members, and their future in this regard by always studying at the tayyibāt and khabāith.

  • Prophets of the Quran: an Introduction (Part 1 of 2)
    Prophets of the Quran: An Introduction (part 1 of 2) Description: Belief in the prophets of God is a central part of Muslim faith. Part 1 will introduce all the prophets before Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, mentioned in the Muslim scripture from Adam to Abraham and his two sons. By Imam Mufti (© 2013 IslamReligion.com) Published on 22 Apr 2013 - Last modified on 25 Jun 2019 Category: Articles >Beliefs of Islam > Stories of the Prophets The Quran mentions twenty five prophets, most of whom are mentioned in the Bible as well. Who were these prophets? Where did they live? Who were they sent to? What are their names in the Quran and the Bible? And what are some of the miracles they performed? We will answer these simple questions. Before we begin, we must understand two matters: a. In Arabic two different words are used, Nabi and Rasool. A Nabi is a prophet and a Rasool is a messenger or an apostle. The two words are close in meaning for our purpose. b. There are four men mentioned in the Quran about whom Muslim scholars are uncertain whether they were prophets or not: Dhul-Qarnain (18:83), Luqman (Chapter 31), Uzair (9:30), and Tubba (44:37, 50:14). 1. Aadam or Adam is the first prophet in Islam. He is also the first human being according to traditional Islamic belief. Adam is mentioned in 25 verses and 25 times in the Quran. God created Adam with His hands and created his wife, Hawwa or Eve from Adam’s rib.

  • Īmān, Islām, Taqwā, Kufr, Shirk, and Nifāq: Definitions, Examples and Impacts on Human Life
    IIUC Studies 14(2) DOI: https://doi.org/10.3329/iiucs.v14i2.39882 Īmān, Islām, taqwā, kufr, shirk, and nifāq: Definitions, examples and impacts on human life Md. Mahmudul Hassan Centre for University Requirement Courses (CENURC) International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC), Bangladesh Abstract The Holy Qur‟an encompasses the comprehensive code for mankind to live a rewarding life in this world, to rescue from the Jahannam and to enter the Jannah in the Hereafter. Īmān, Islām, taqwā, kufr, shirk, and nifāq are, the six significant terms, used in the Noble Qur‟an frequently. All of them represent the characteristics of human beings. The possessors of these characters will go to their eternal destination; the Jannah or Jahannam. The Jannah is the aftermath of īmān, Islam and taqwā. On the other hand, kufr, shirk, and nifāq lead to the Jahannam. This study intends to present the definitions and examples of these six terms according to the Qur‟anic statement, and then shed light on the impact of each character on human life quoting the evidence from the Holy Qur‟an and the Traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The possessors of these six remarkable terms are entitled successively as mu'min, muslim, muttaqī to be rewarded Jannah and kafīr, mushrik, and munāfiq to be punished in Jahannam. Keywords The Comprehensive code, Eternal destination, Qur‟anic terms Paper type Literature review 1. Introduction Īmān, Islām, and taqwā are three positive divine instructions whereas, kufr, shirk, and nifāq are three negative characteristics which are strongly prohibited by divine decrees. The Jannah and the Jahannam are two eternal destinations of humanities in the Hereafter.

  • Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: a Critical Evaluation of Two Translations
    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.8, No.2, 2017 Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: A Critical Evaluation of Two Translations Izzeddin M. I. Issa Dept. of English & Translation, Jadara University, PO box 733, Irbid, Jordan Abstract This study is devoted to discuss the renditions of the prophets' names in the Holy Quran due to the authority of the religious text where they reappear, the significance of the figures who carry them, the fact that they exist in many languages, and the fact that the Holy Quran addresses all mankind. The data are drawn from two translations of the Holy Quran by Ali (1964), and Al-Hilali and Khan (1993). It examines the renditions of the twenty five prophets' names with reference to translation strategies in this respect, showing that Ali confused the conveyance of six names whereas Al-Hilali and Khan confused the conveyance of four names. Discussion has been raised thereupon to present the correct rendition according to English dictionaries and encyclopedias in addition to versions of the Bible which add a historical perspective to the study. Keywords: Mistranslation, Prophets, Religious, Al-Hilali, Khan. 1. Introduction In Prophets’ names comprise a significant part of people's names which in turn constitutes a main subdivision of proper nouns which include in addition to people's names the names of countries, places, months, days, holidays etc. In terms of translation, many translators opt for transliterating proper names thinking that transliteration is a straightforward process depending on an idea deeply rooted in many people's minds that proper nouns are never translated or that the translation of proper names is as Vermes (2003:17) states "a simple automatic process of transference from one language to another." However, in the real world the issue is different viz.

  • Islam and the Salvation of Others
    CHAPTER 6 Islam and the Salvation of Others Mohammad Hassan Khalil Abstract A prevailing view in Islamic thought is that at least some non-Muslims will be saved in the afterlife. I submit that the most often-cited scriptural justification for this inclusiv- ist doctrine has been Quran 17:15, specifically the declaration that God does not punish individuals until He has sent them a messenger. Yet since it is not entirely clear what this entails (at what point does one qualify as having received God’s message, and spe- cifically the final message revealed to Muhammad?), Muslim theologians have arrived at a plurality of inclusivisms. In the present article I examine three particularly influ- ential premodern versions of Islamic inclusivism, all of which are commonly cited in modern Muslim writings. Two of these, one espoused by Ibn Taymiyya and the other by Ibn Arabi, correspond roughly to opposing ends of the inclusivist spectrum. The third, championed by Ghazali, represents a middle-of-the-road approach. What happens to non-Muslims in the afterlife? Are they all doomed? Or are they just as likely as Muslims to inhabit Paradise? The disparate responses that Muslim theologians provide to these and related questions reveal the great soteriological schisms that exist in Islamic thought: Exclusivists hold that only Muslims will be saved; inclusivists maintain that salvation may be attained by “sincere,” “righteous” non-Muslims, who, for whatever reason, could not have been expected to recognize the truth of Muhammad’s message; and plural- ists assert that, whatever the circumstances, there are multiple paths that are equally salvific.

Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research 3 | Theological Non-Commitment (Tawaqquf) in Sunni Islam and Its Implications for Muslim Acceptance of ​ Human Evolution Abstract Traditional Muslims have been resistant to the idea of human evolution, justifying their stance by the account of Adam and Eve being created without parents as traditionally understood from the apparent (ẓāhir ) meaning of the Qur’an and ​ Sunnah. The account of the creation of these two specific individuals belongs to a category of questions that Sunni theologians refer to as the samʿiyyāt, “revealed ​ ​ knowledge.” These are matters for which all knowledge comes exclusively from Islam’s sacred texts.

This is a religion that only believes in one God. How is Islam different to Christianity? Like Islam, Christianity is a monotheistic religion that only believes in one God. However, to Christians, God has three parts (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Muslims deny this as seen in the part of the t ext under neat h. To Muslims, God i s one being and cannot be separated.
