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.

Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 6 August 2016 doi:10.20944/preprints201608.0057.v1 Article The Analysis of a Translation of Musyakalah Verses in the Holy Quran Published by the Indonesian Department of Religious Affairs Yayan Nurbayan Department of Arabic Language, Faculty of Language and Linguistic, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Jalan. Dr. Setiabudhi No.229, Bandung, Indonesia; [email protected] Abstract: Musyakalah is one of the Arabic linguistic styles included under the category of majaz. This style is commonly used in Al-Quran. The Indonesian translation of Al-Quran is a case where many of the figures of speech are translated literally, thereby causing serious semantic problems. Thus, the research problem of this is formulated with the following questions: 1) How many musyakalah ayahs are there in Al-Quran?; 2) How are the musyakalah ayahs translated, literally (harfiyya) or interpretatively (tafsiriyya)?; 3) How many ayahs are translated literally and how many are translated interpretatively?; and 4) Which translated musyakalah ayahs have the potential to raise semantic and theological problems? The corpus in this research consists of all musyakalah ayahs in Al-Quran and their translation to Indonesian published by the Department of Religious Affairs of Indonesia. The research adopted a descriptive-semantic method. The findings of this research are: 1) There are only eleven ayahs in Al-Quran using musyakalah style, namely: Alhasyr ayah 19, Ali Imran ayah 54, Annaml ayah 50, Alanfal ayah 30, Asysyura ayah 40, Albaqarah ayah 15, Almaidah 116, Aljatsiah ayah 34, Attaubah ayah 79, Annisa ayah 142, and Albaqarah 194; 2) The musyakalah ayahs translated literally are: Aljatsiah 34, Almaidah 116, Asysura 40, Annaml 50, and Alhasyr 19, whereas the musyakalah ayahs translated interpretatively are Albaqarah 194, Annisa 142, Attaubah 79, Albaqarah 15, Alanfal 30, and Ali Imran 54; 3) Of the eleven musyakalah ayahs, only Alhasyr ayah 19 that is translated correctly and does not have the potential of creating misinterpretation.

The Meaning and Characteristics of Islam in the Qur'an
International Journal of Psychosocial Rehabilitation, Vol. 24, Issue . 01, 2020 ISSN: 1475 – 7192. The Meaning And Characteristics Of Islam In The Qur'an Baharuddin Husin1, Supriyatin, SY2, Zaimudin3, Imron Zabidi4 Abstract--- Islam contain the meaning of submissiveness and total surrender to Allah SWT and to all His rules that have been revealed to His chosen Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH). Islam is a religion of nature, because Islam is something that is inherent in human beings and has been brought from birth through the nature of Allah’s creation, means that humans from the beginning have a religious instinct of monotheism (tawheed). Islam in accordance with its characteristics, is like a perfect building with a strong foundation of faith and pillar joints in the form of worship to Allah SWT and beautified with noble morals. While the regulations in the Shari'ah function to strengthen the building. While true da'wah and jihad are the fences which guard against the damage done by the enemies of Islam. Islam pays attention to worldly and ukhrawi balance. Islam describes a wholeness and unity in all aspects. Paying attention to peace, optimism in achieving happiness in life, managing personal life, family, society, country and the world as a whole. Set all the creations of Allah SWT in this nature to return to His law. Islam is the eternal religion of Allah SWT that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). All previous celestial teachings are the unity of the divine teaching in various forms which are constantly updated in accordance with the development of the times, the world, humans, and the demands of preaching at that time.

And what has been called the Gospel in the time of revelation. Quran, using the singular form of the word gospel on the one Gospel revealed to Jesus (as) insist.

So when the Qur'an speaks of the Gospel in the time of revelation, none of the books specifically Christians, neither the law nor suspicious, not going. Because this book has been called a certain name or attributed to specific individuals.

It is natural that if someone wishes to point out one of these books has named a certain book. Keywords: Quranic Gospel. Christian Gospel.

Number of Verses of the Qurān
International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 19 [Special Issue – October 2012] Number of Verses of the Qur ān (Index and Argument) Dr. Abdul Hafeez Fazli Prof/Chairman Department of Philosophy University of the Punjab Lahore, Pakistan. Abstract It is considered that the total number of verses of the Qur ān is 6666. Let the readers note that it is absolutely incorrect that the total number of verses of the Qur ān is 6666.According to our research the Quranic Text consists of 6238 verses. Anjuman-e-Himayat-e-Islam Lahore, in the Qur ān published by it in the year 1935 divides the Quranic Text into 6236 verses.(Government of Pakistan vide Act No. LIV of 1973 dated 30-7-1973 has adopted this copy as the ‘Standard Copy’ of the Qurān.) Arguments of the Committee which recommended the acceptance of Anjuman-e-Himayat-e-Islam’s published Qur ān as the ‘Standard Copy’ are not available to the author, so no comments can be given on the decision taken by the concerned Committee. However it becomes clearthat total number of verses of the Qur ān could never be 6666. It would be important that someone tries to trace how this misconception entered into Muslim thought.

Part 3 Al-Baqara 253 to Al-Imran-92
Part 3: Al-Baqarah 2:253 to Al-Imran 3:92 Freedom of religion is a pivotal element of the Muslim faith. “Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from falsehood: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah has indeed taken hold of support most unfailing that never breaks. And Allah is all-hearing, all- knowing.” Quran (2:256) The foundation of a comprehensive and just economic system is established. Charity is mandated and usury (Riba) is abolished. “The parable of those who spend their possessions in the way of Allah is that of a grain: it grows seven ears, and each ear has hundred grains. Allah gives manifold increase to whomever He wills: And Allah all-embracing, all- knowing. Those who spend their possessions in the cause of Allah, and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury,- their reward is with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. Kind words and the covering of others faults are better than charity followed by injury. Allah is free of all wants and He is Most-Forbearing.” Quran (2:261-263) “Those who gorge themselves on usury behave but as he might behave whom Satan has confounded with his touch; for they say, "Buying and selling is but a kind of usury". But, God has made buying and selling lawful and usury unlawful. Hence, whoever becomes aware of his Sustainer's admonition, and thereupon desists [from usury], may keep his past gains, and it will be for God to judge him; but as for those who return to it -they are destined for the fire, therein to abide!” Quran (2:275) The last two verses in Surah Al-Baqarah reflect a universal declaration of faith and sincere supplications to Allah.

Surah Al-Qalam }1{
Surah Al-Qalam Allah’s love is the most precious gift which we all yearn for but it cannot be attained without following the footsteps of our beloved Prophet (s.a.w) with complete love and trust. The more we know about his life and personality, the more we will love him for all his magnificent qualities. This love is the completion of our faith, and is absolutely essential for us to acquire; because without love and faith, actions are just mechanical gestures which have no spirit and no effect. The first and foremost requirement of loving the Prophet (s.a.w) is to follow his way of life and to convey his teachings to the whole world. This is a responsibility on all of us who feel honoured to be his followers. But this path is filled with trials and only those can walk upon it, who first learn to be patient and calm, forgiving and moving on, loving people unconditionally and putting the work of religion ahead of their own satisfactions. In fact, those who love Allah love to work for Him and feel honoured to be given any opportunity to serve Him. If someone has truly felt this love, then he will never complain nor be overtaken by any self pity or self righteousness... because he knows that what he is working for is far more precious than his own life... So in Surah Al-Qalam, Allah is giving us the excellent example of our Prophet (s.a.w) who put up with all the trials and accusations from the disbelievers with the utmost patience and perseverance.
