The Heifer (al-Baqarah) In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1 Alif, Lam, Meem. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 6 As for those who disbelieve—it is the same for them, whether you have warned them, or have not warned them—they do not believe. 7 God has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. They will have a severe torment. 8 Among the people are those who say, “We believe in God and in the Last Day,” but they are not believers. 9 They seek to deceive God and those who believe, but they deceive none but themselves, though they are not aware. 10 In their hearts is sickness, and God has increased their sickness. They will have a painful punishment because of their denial. 11 And when it is said to them, “Do not make trouble on earth,” they say, “We are only reformers.” 1 12 In fact, they are the troublemakers, but they are not aware. 13 And when it is said to them, “Believe as the people have believed,” they say, “Shall we believe as the fools have believed?” In fact, it is they who are the fools, but they do not know. 14 And when they come across those who believe, they say, “We believe”; but when they are alone with their devils, they say, “We are with you; we were only ridiculing.” 15 It is God who ridicules them, and leaves them bewildered in their transgres- sion. 16 Those are they who have bartered error for guidance; but their trade does not profit them, and they are not guided. 17 Their likeness is that of a person who kindled a fire; when it illuminated all around him, God took away their light, and left them in darkness, unable to see. 18 Deaf, dumb, blind. They will not return. 19 Or like a cloudburst from the sky, in which is darkness, and thunder, and lightning. They press their fingers into their ears from the thunderbolts, in fear of death. But God surrounds the disbelievers. 20 The lightning almost snatches their sight away. Whenever it illuminates for them, they walk in it; but when it grows dark over them, they stand still. Had God willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. God is capable of everything. 21 O people! Worship your Lord who created you and those before you, that you may attain piety. 22 He who made the earth a habitat for you, and the sky a structure, and sends water down from the sky, and brings out fruits thereby, as a sustenance for you. Therefore, do not assign rivals to God while you know. 23 And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a chapter like these, and call your witnesses apart from God, if you are truthful. 24 But if you do not—and you will not—then beware the Fire whose fuel is people and stones, prepared for the disbelievers. 25 And give good news to those who believe and do righteous deeds; that they will have gardens beneath which rivers flow.

  • Rights of Children and Parents in Holy Quran Masumeh Saeidi1, Maryam Ajilian2, Hamid Farhangi3, * Gholam Hasan Khodaei41
    http:// ijp.mums.ac.ir Review Article Rights of Children and Parents in Holy Quran Masumeh Saeidi1, Maryam Ajilian2, Hamid Farhangi3, * Gholam Hasan Khodaei41 1Students Research Committee, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. 2 Ibn-e-Sina Hospital, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. 3 Assistant Professor of Pediatric Oncology, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. 4Head of the Health Policy Council, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. Abstract Human rights are the basic standards that people need to live in dignity. In addition to the rights that are available to all people, there are rights that apply only to children. Children need special rights because of their unique needs; they need additional protection that adults don’t. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is an international document that sets out all of the rights that children have – a child is defined in the Convention as any person under the age of 18. On the other hand Islam recognises family as a basic social unit. Along with the husband-wife relationship the Parent-child relationship is the most important one. To maintain any social relationship both parties must have some clear-cut Rights as well as obligations. The relationships are reciprocal. Duties of one side are the Rights of the other side. So in Parent-child relationship the Rights of parents are the obligations (duties) of the children and vice versa, the Rights of children are obligations (duties) of parents. Islam clearly defines the Rights of Parents (which mean duties of children) and obligations of parents (which means Rights of children).

  • Surah Luqman – Aayaat 12-15
    SURAH LUQMAN – AAYAAT 12-15 Interpretation of the Selected Verses Aayaat of Surah Luqman And We had certainly given Luqman wisdom [and said], "Be grateful to Allah." And whoever is grateful is grateful for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever denies [His favor] - then indeed, Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy. And [mention, O Muhammad], when Luqman said to his son while he was instructing him, "O my son, do not associate [anything] with Allah. Indeed, association [with him] is great injustice." And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination. But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness and follow the way of those who turn back to Me [in repentance].

  • Coronavirus and Halal Tourism and Hospitality Industry: Is It a Journey to the Unknown?
    sustainability Concept Paper Coronavirus and Halal Tourism and Hospitality Industry: Is It a Journey to the Unknown? Hatem El-Gohary College of Business & Economics, Qatar University, Doha 2713, Qatar; [email protected] Received: 7 October 2020; Accepted: 4 November 2020; Published: 7 November 2020 Abstract: Coronavirus (COVID-19) gained and will continue to gain a lot of global attention over the coming months (and maybe the coming few years). Since its outbreak in Wuhan (China), it has turned into one of the major challenges affecting the whole world. In a comparatively short time, the virus outbreak turned into a pandemic that led to massive negative impacts not only on people health and well-being, but also on the global economy, travel industry, pharmaceutical industry, tourism industry, and many other industries. This research paper aims to investigate the different effects of coronavirus on the global Halal tourism and Halal hospitality industry and whether the coronavirus pandemic is the end of Halal tourism and hospitality as we know it or not. The paper offers an in-depth theoretical examination of the different aspect of the pandemic on Halal tourism and hospitality industry and provides guidance on how to address these different aspects. The current paper is one of very few research papers addressing coronavirus on the tourism and hospitality industry. Keywords: coronavirus; COVID-19; Halal hospitality; Halal tourism; tourism industry; Muslim travellers; KSA; Egypt; Middle East 1. Introduction Unlike other religions, Islam encourages travel and inspires Muslims to travel to every part of earth to be educated, to seek a better life, to perform Islamic religious rituals such as Hajj or Umrah, to seek a cure from illness, tourism and enjoyment, as well as many other reasons.

  • The Conceptual Elements of the Development Worldview in the Qur'an: a Study of Thematic Exegesis
    American International Journal of Social Science Vol. 2 No. 3; May 2013 The Conceptual Elements of the Development Worldview in the Qur’an: A Study of Thematic Exegesis Mohd Shukri Hanapi, Ph.D Lecturer of Islamic Development Management Program Centre for Islamic Development Management Studies (ISDEV) School of Social Sciences Universiti Sains Malaysia 11800 Penang, Malaysia. Abstract This paper aims to identify and analyze selected verses of the Qur'an that are related to the conceptual elements of the development worldview (tasawwur). Development worldview here refers to the comprehensive view and a true and correct picture of Islamic-based development (IbD). It aims to explain the whole characteristics of the IbD holistically, as the basis of all development activities in human life. In the Qur'an, the verses of the conceptual elements of the development worldview are actually located separately in many chapters (surah). The question then is which ones of the verses could be accounted as the verses of the development worldview? What are the conceptual elements of the development worldview in the Qur'an that could be constructed from these verses? This paper attempts to seek for the answer through three main purposes. Firstly, to identify the selected verses of the Qur'an that is related to the development worldview. Secondly, using a thematic exegesis approach, to analyze the identified Quranic verses of the development worldview; and thirdly, to develop the conceptual elements of the development worldview based on the identified verses of the Qur‘an. The main objects studied in this paper are the Quranic verses themselves.

    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.

The availability of such an all-encompassing and comprehensive guidance is a mercy from Allah. { ُھﺪًى َو َر ْﺣ َﻤﺔً ِﻟ ْﻠ ُﻤ ْﺤ ِﺴﻨِﯿ َﻦ {3 [Pooya/Ali Commentary 31:3] (see commentary for verse 2) {اﻟﱠ ِﺬﯾ َﻦ ﯾُ ِﻘﯿ ُﻤﻮ َن اﻟ ﱠﺼ َﻼةَ َوﯾُ ْﺆﺗُﻮ َن اﻟ ﱠﺰ َﻛﺎةَ َو ُھ ْﻢ ﺑِﺎ ْﻵ ِﺧ َﺮةِ ُھ ْﻢ ﯾُﻮﻗِﻨُﻮ َن {4 [Pooya/Ali Commentary 31:4] (see commentary for verse 2) ٰ ٰ {أُوﻟَﺌِ َﻚ َﻋﻠَ ٰﻰ ُھﺪًى ِﻣ ْﻦ َرﺑِّ ِﮭ ْﻢ ۖ َوأُوﻟَﺌِ َﻚ ُھ ُﻢ ا ْﻟ ُﻤ ْﻔ ِﻠ ُﺤﻮ َن {5 [Pooya/Ali Commentary 31:5] (see commentary for verse 2) ٰ { َو ِﻣ َﻦ اﻟﻨﱠﺎ ِس َﻣ ْﻦ ﯾَ ْﺸﺘَ ِﺮي ﻟَ ْﮭ َﻮ ا ْﻟ َﺤ ِﺪﯾ ِﺚ ِﻟﯿُ ِﻀ ﱠﻞ َﻋ ْﻦ َﺳﺒِﯿ ِﻞ ا ﱠِ ﺑِﻐَ ْﯿ ِﺮ ِﻋ ْﻠ ٍﻢ َوﯾَﺘﱠ ِﺨﺬَ َھﺎ ُھ ُﺰ ًوا ۚ أُوﻟَﺌِ َﻚ ﻟَ ُﮭ ْﻢ َﻋﺬَا ٌب ُﻣ ِﮭﯿ ٌﻦ {6 [Pooya/Ali Commentary 31:6] It is related that in the time of the Holy Prophet there was a pagan Nadhr ibn al Harith who went to Syria for trade and brought back stories of Persian heroes, with which he allured the crowds of the Quraysh and persuaded them to believe that his stories were preferable to the word of Allah.
