Surah Qaf Ayat 1 – 5 Surah Qaf Ayat 1 – 5 Surah Qaf - part 1 Sister Eman al Obaid www.alhudasisters.wordpress.com You need to prepare your heart for Ramadhan – Ramadhan is a guest so we need to receive it and prepare for it. Preparation is not to fill our fridges. Preparation is to fill our hearts with the proper provision. The sahabah started preparing 6 months before Ramadhan. You need to ponder upon the Qur’an – it is a cure for the heart and gives life to the heart. We need At Tadabbur – to read, understand and ponder upon the Qur’an. What is the impact on me? Go over the ayah and think about how does this ayah impact on me? It should affect your heart, affect your utterances, affect your limbs, affect your life. When your heart is filled with Allah subhana wa ta'ala ’s love you want more and more of the Qur’an, it is never enough because Allah subhana wa ta'ala is talking to me. Surah Qaf is a Mekkan surah – they are the shorter surah’s about the kuffar, the right and wrong. Hadith: 'Amra daughter of Abd al-Rahman reported on the authority of the sister of Amra, I memorised (surah) qaf=surah l.):" By the glorious Qur'an" from the mouth of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on Friday for he recited it on the pulpit on-every Friday. (Book #004, Hadith #1892) During the time of the Prophet ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam the believers were hearing surah Qaf weekly and enjoying it. The more you know, the more you read the Qur’an, the more Allah subhana wa ta'ala opens for you. Hadith: Jabir b. Samura reported: The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) used to recite in the morning prayer" qaf. By the Glorious Qur’an." and his prayer afterward shortened. (Book #004, Hadith #0923) Surah Qaf is the start of Juz Mufassal – the long surah are at the beginning of the Qur’an, the medium length surah’s are in the middle. Juz Mafassal is from surah Qaf to Surah al Nas. It is best to start the tafsir of the Qur’an from Surah Qaf. Among all the other books Allah subhana wa ta'ala revealed, all their meaning is in the Qur’an. The meaning of the whole Qur’an is in Juz Mufassal. The meaning of the whole Qur’an can be found in surah Al Fatihah. Iyyaka na’badu wa’iyyaka nasta’een. 1:5 It is You we worship and You we ask for help. Sister Eman recites the whole surah: You are wondering why I recited the whole surah. When you know the meaning your reaction is different when you don’t know the meaning so I will recite the whole surah again when we finish the tafsir. 1 Surah Qaf Ayat 1 – 5 Qaf – Huruf-e-Muqatta'at – letters at the beginning of certain surah’s. They are letters by themselves. The Arabic language consists of these letters. The letters of the Qur’an are from your own language, the Arabic language but Allah subhana wa ta'ala is challenging people to bring something like the Qur’an. No one is able to do that. Another explanation of these letters is that some people did not want to hear the Qur’an so to get their attention Allah subhana wa ta'ala started some surah with these letters. Any surah which starts with the Huruf-e-Muqatta'at Allah subhana wa ta'ala immediately tells you about the Qur’an. In this ayah Allah subhana wa ta'ala swears by the glorious Qur’an. Allah subhana wa ta'ala swears by one of His Attributes, the Qur’an is one of Allah subhana wa ta'ala ’s Attributes, Kalamullah, Allah subhana wa ta'ala spoke. Allah subhana wa ta'ala is able to swear with anything, with one of His creation, with Himself and by His Attributes. Human beings, believers are not allowed to swear by anything other than Allah subhana wa ta'ala or by one of Allah subhana wa ta'ala ’s Names or Attributes. This Qur’an – derived from qara, to recite. Qur’an means being recited. Another meaning is jam’a, to collect. The Qur’an is being recited and collected. The Qur’an is collected as it was not revealed as a whole book. 2 Surah Qaf Ayat 1 – 5 Al majid – Allah subhana wa ta'ala describes the Qur’an as the Glorious Qur’an. This is also one of Allah subhana wa ta'ala ’s names. Allah subhana wa ta'ala spoke and talked with the Qur’an so the word of Allah subhana wa ta'ala is glorious. The Qur’an is the greatest, most glorious and exalted book, and the one taking, reading and studying the Qur’an, Allah subhana wa ta'ala will honour him. When you listen to the Qur’an, ponder upon the Qur’an you need to feel Allah subhana wa ta'ala ’s bounties and blessings. You need to be grateful to Allah subhana wa ta'ala to be in this situation. What we are studying is glorious so we say ‘AlhamduliLlah’. The Qur’an overcomes all other books. People have knowledge of other books but when they read the Qur’an they are not convinced. They are more convinced by books written by people. The believer - When I read the Qur’an I don’t need any proof from anywhere else. The Glorious Qur’an – glorious because it is Kalamullah and because of it’s vast meaning, and because of the depth of meaning that you can find in the Qur’an. One word has many meanings, one ayah has so many impacts. And you can obtain blessings when you read the Qur’an, when you recite the Qur’an when you ponder upon the Qur’an, when you listen to the Qur’an etc. All the knowledge which is important in your life and in your hereafter can be found in the Qur’an. Anything you need which is important you will find it in the Qur’an, that is why it is al Majid. What is the impact of this one ayah? This will make you trust the Qur’an, believe in the Qur’an and follow the Qur’an. You will not question the Qur’an, Allah subhana wa ta'ala said it is glorious. Follow the Qur’an blindly because all the benefit is there. You will be grateful, you will be thankful and you will praise Allah subhana wa ta'ala because Allah subhana wa ta'ala blessed us by revealing the Qur’an and made us to read the Qur’an. In your heart you feel so grateful to Allah subhana wa ta'ala to read and understand the Qur’an and to benefit from the Qur’an. You need to appreciate that blessing. But people do not appreciate the blessing. Ayah 2 Ayah 2 describes the people who do not appreciate the Qur’an. The are wandering, they have doubts. Human beings write books but there will be faults and mistakes in them. In the Qur’an you take it, you are relaxed that there are no doubts. I will take it, I will follow it, I will accept it and I will praise Allah subhana wa ta'ala and I appreciate the Qur’an. Bal ajibu – they wonder. Ajibu is from ajaba – surprising, strange. You deny it, you don’t agree with it, astonished by something. Or another meaning is that you approve of it, you like it. Ajibu has two meanings. In this ayah ajibu is something strange, they are denying the Qur’an because of 2 things. 3 Surah Qaf Ayat 1 – 5 mundhirun - a warner. Prophet Muhammad ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam , a Messenger came to give the glad tidings and to warn. Here it is only mentioned the warning because nobody likes the warnings. There is a Day of Judgment, there are questions in the grave – nobody wants to accept this so they deny it. We don’t like people to tell us something disturbing, warnings are restrictions. For the person who doesn’t want to take the knowledge or do an action they deny it. All our actions are around not being sad. min’hum – from them. They don’t want a Messenger to be a human being, they want a Messenger to be an angel. But we cannot see the angels. These people don’t know what they are asking for or what they are denying. al kafirun – the disbelievers. Allah subhana wa ta'ala gave them the title kafirun. hadha shayon ‘ajibun – This thing is strange. This is what the kafirun say. We say something is strange when we don’t want to believe in it, when you have doubts or out of ignorance – because I don’t want to believe. Ayah 3 The 2 nd strange thing is in ayah 3: a-idha mit’na – What! When we die. wakunna turaban – and have become dust. Those people believe after we die the body will decay and become dust – the Ulema said you pause here. After becoming dust can Allah subhana wa ta'ala bring us back? – this is not mentioned here. - dhalika raj’un ba’idun – that is a return far. When we are brought back to life - this is very far, strange. They don’t believe Allah subhana wa ta'ala is able to resurrect everyone.

Received 30 January, 2014: Accepted 03 September, 2014 Civilizations have a tendency to revolve around meaningful concepts of a theoretical nature which more than anything else gives them their distinctive character. Such concepts are to be found at the very beginning of a rising civilization or they may signalize, when they first make their appearance, an entirely new departure towards the eventual transformation of the environment generous to them. This signifies a fundamental change in the structure of the civilization in which it happens. They changed their structure, modified their social laws for the well being of coming human race. On scientific grounds modification and edification of old concepts according to Qur’anic teachings helped them to emerge as a true modern and civilized society. Among good number of scientific concepts, one is that related to the plants mentioned in the Holy Quran. The history of Islamic medicine started from 2nd century as applied science which provides ample information about the medicinal plants mentioned in the Quran. These medicinal plants continue to be extensively used as major source of drugs for the treatment of many ailments in medieval period. The present research work is a qualitative analysis one which helps to draw attention to the valuable contribution of divine message in the development of medicinal legacy.

  • Chapter 42, Ash-Shura (The Consultation)
    Chapter 42, Ash-Shura (The Consultation) Description: All revelations came from the same source, and the prime message has remained the same, namely the Oneness of God and the inevitability of the Day of Judgement. By Aisha Stacey (© 2019 IslamReligion.com) Published on 25 Feb 2019 - Last modified on 25 Feb 2019 Category: Articles >The Holy Quran > A Summary of the Quranic Chapters Introduction The Consultation is a fifty-three verse chapter revealed in Mecca. The name is derived from the word consultation that is mentioned in verse thirty-eight describing the characteristics of a community of believers. Being a Meccan chapter revealed before the migration to Medina it concentrates on the fundamentals of faith, in this case, God’s all prevailing power and wisdom. Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, is reminded that he cannot force people to believe and that he is only required to deliver the message. Verses 1 " 9 All power belongs to God The first two verses are Arabic letters. Ha Mim, Ayn Seen Qaf. They are five letters from among various combinations of fourteen letters that open twenty-nine chapters of the Quran. God did not reveal what meanings they may or may not have. Usually after these letters we learn something about the Quran. In this case, God says that He sent His revelation (Quran) to Prophet Muhammad, as He sent revelation to other messengers before him. The heavens almost break apart because of their awe of God’s majesty. The angels glorify and praise God; while begging forgiveness for the people on earth.

  • Tafseer of Surah Qaf 3 Best Thing to Start in the Morning Is Qalam Ullah
    Tafseer of Surah Qaf 3 Best thing to start in the morning is Qalam Ullah. Al Muthabbath bi thilaawathee, anything u will do in the Quran. We stopped in ayat number 11 The main thing about the surah Qaf is where we are learning of the people who deny the glorious Quran! And they don’t believe in it! And Allah subahanawatha'la is mentioning the people who deny the Quran and he mentioned the different people who deny the Quran and Allah subahanawatha'la he answers each and every one! Ayat 4 where Allah subahanawatha'la talks about the unseen and that is one way Another ayat is where Allah subahanawatha'la tells us to look at the universal signs and really look at them with an open heart and see the signs of Allah and believe in him! But this is not for everyone! Only the one who is abdin muneeb- the one who submits to Allah az'awajal with an open heart and is real need of Allah az'awajal! Now we see! Why do people deny the day of judgement? Because they have a veil over their eyes and they are ignorant! They belie the day of judgement! Or the yawmud deen or the Yawmul hisaab! Because the one who really believes in THIS DAY there will be impacts on him! He will never be arrogant to people or wrong people he will be so good to everyone else because it really sinks in his heart that the day of recompense is real!
