This is despite the fact that so many words are repeated just for the ease of the reader. In principle, if you take out the repeated words, the total number of words in this book may well be less than 2000!!! Allah Subhanahu wa ta'aala has revealed His book which contains so few words. This is another miracle of the Qur'an. These statistics should give you a strong push to go ahead and continue memorizing till the end of this book, inshaAllah.

  • Summary of Juz 22

    Summary of Juz 22

    The Message of the Majestic Quran Summary of Juz 22 Surat al-Ahzab continued Background to the Battle of the Trench heard about the Makkan plan, he called a war council to discuss the ﷺ When the Prophet impending danger. Salman, the Persian, suggested digging a trench between the long stretches of fortress-like houses on the outskirts of the city, whilst in the northwest, there were high rocks that were difficult to cross. So, a trench five meters wide, five meters deep, and seven kilometres long was dug in three weeks. When the army of Confederates reached the outskirts of Madinah, they were baffled to see the trench. They camped outside the city near Uhud and laid siege. The only way to enter the city was if the Jews of Banu Qurayda were to attack from the inside. So, the Quraysh and the Jews of Banu Nadhir put together a strategy to win over Banu Qurayda and eventually a pact was agreed. But the plan went horribly wrong, and the confederates received no help from them. The siege was difficult to maintain, and the winter nights were long and bitterly cold. A violent sandstorm blew the tents. The camels and the horses of the Makkan forces ran wild. After three weeks, they fled. This Divine Intervention saved the Muslims. This was a testing time for the Muslims. It required wise and brave leadership and committed followers. A large part of the Surah deals with the personal life and wonderful and his relationships with the disciples and his family. He is ,ﷺ character of the Prophet addressed on six occasions with the refrain “O Prophet!’ to bolster his morale, reassuring him of his unique position in Allah's sight, and encouraging him to lead confidently.
  • Pre-Islamic Arabia

    Pre-Islamic Arabia

    Pre-Islamic Arabia The Nomadic Tribes of Arabia The nomadic pastoralist Bedouin tribes inhabited the Arabian Peninsula before the rise of Islam around 700 CE. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Describe the societal structure of tribes in Arabia KEY TAKEAWAYS Key Points Nomadic Bedouin tribes dominated the Arabian Peninsula before the rise of Islam. Family groups called clans formed larger tribal units, which reinforced family cooperation in the difficult living conditions on the Arabian peninsula and protected its members against other tribes. The Bedouin tribes were nomadic pastoralists who relied on their herds of goats, sheep, and camels for meat, milk, cheese, blood, fur/wool, and other sustenance. The pre-Islamic Bedouins also hunted, served as bodyguards, escorted caravans, worked as mercenaries, and traded or raided to gain animals, women, gold, fabric, and other luxury items. Arab tribes begin to appear in the south Syrian deserts and southern Jordan around 200 CE, but spread from the central Arabian Peninsula after the rise of Islam in the 630s CE. Key Terms Nabatean: an ancient Semitic people who inhabited northern Arabia and Southern Levant, ca. 37–100 CE. Bedouin: a predominantly desert-dwelling Arabian ethnic group traditionally divided into tribes or clans. Pre-Islamic Arabia Pre-Islamic Arabia refers to the Arabian Peninsula prior to the rise of Islam in the 630s. Some of the settled communities in the Arabian Peninsula developed into distinctive civilizations. Sources for these civilizations are not extensive, and are limited to archaeological evidence, accounts written outside of Arabia, and Arab oral traditions later recorded by Islamic scholars. Among the most prominent civilizations were Thamud, which arose around 3000 BCE and lasted to about 300 CE, and Dilmun, which arose around the end of the fourth millennium and lasted to about 600 CE.

  • The Concept of Jihad in Islam

    The Concept of Jihad in Islam

    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue 9, Ver. 7 (Sep. 2016) PP 35-42 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Concept of Jihad In Islam Ramlan TengkuErwinsyahbana Nurul Hakim Abstract.:-It is an undisputable fact that jihad is an Islamic teaching that is explicitly mentioned in Quran, Hadith, ijma'as well as various fiqh literature from classical time to the contemporary time. Jihad term often used for things that are destructive by western scholars and society. For them, jihad is synonymous with terrorism. The similarization of the word Jihad with the word terrorism in the Western perception is strongly reinforced by a series of terror committed by Muslims in the name of jihad. These acts have been increasingly affecting the interpretation of the word jihad in a negative way although in reality that is not the case in a contemporary context. Jihad in contemporary understanding is not just a war against visible enemies but also a war against the devil and carnality. Even a war against visible enemies that are written in classical fiqh books has now replaced by a contemporary interpretation of jihad against the enemies, as was done by Dr. ZakirNaik. KEYWORDS:Concept, Jihad and Islam I. INTRODUCTION When the 9/11 attack hit the United States more than a decade ago, the term jihad became a trending topic worldwide. The US and other Western countries in general claim that the perpetrators of the 9/11 attack were following the doctrine of Jihad in Islam in order to fight against America and its allies around the world.
  • The Conceptual Elements of the Development Worldview in the Qur'an: a Study of Thematic Exegesis

    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.

    Sains Humanika a Content Analysis on Verses Related With

    Sains Full paper Humanika A Content Analysis on Verses Related with Development Worldview in the Qur’an Mohd Shukri Hanapi* Centre for Islamic Development Management Studies (ISDEV), Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Penang, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This article aims to examine and analyze the development worldview (tasawwur) in the Qur’an. The examination and analysis is based on the selected verses of the Qur’an that are related to development worldview. In the Qur'an, the verses 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 article attempts to seek for the answer through three main purposes. Firstly, to identify the selected verses of the Qur'an that are related to the development worldview. Secondly, to analyze the conceptual elements of the development worldview in the identified Quranic verses; and thirdly, to develop the conceptual elements of the development worldview based on the identified verses of the Qur‘an. All these are analyzed using a content analysis method. It will be shown that there are six conceptual elements of development worldview found in the Qur‘an. They are Oneness of Allah, servitude of self/worship to Allah, vicegerent on earth, natural resources, time frame – world of al-ruh, present world, and the world hereafter, and pleasures of Allah. It is based on these six conceptual elements of development worldview that the Islamic- based development (IbD) worldview is constructed.

The decline in the quality of the global environment has become the most popular problem in this century. One of them is caused by modern architectural planning that is not environmentally friendly. Islam has been explained in the Qur'an QS. Al Baqarah 2: 11-12 that to improve the quality of human life, it has caused damage to the earth. This research is looking for evidence from the verses contained in the Quran regarding environmentally friendly architecture and the causes of destruction for humans on earth by buildings. The results can be proven that in the Al Quran there are verses regarding the development of the function of the building as a place for human activities that are environmentally friendly and the existence of the building can be proven. Keywords: Al-Quran perspective, function building, Al Quran and architecture 1 Introduction Architectural planning in the last few decades, using the concept of Modern Architecture.
