4. -- They believe in such a way that they prostrate to Allah. They establish Salah. They are steadfast in prayer. Not only do they prostrate but they are generous and kind to Allah’s creation, they take care of Allah’s slaves. Whatever Allah has given them they share.
5. -- they spend in charity out of what We have provided for their sustenance. رزق means all the blessings of Allah. They are the ones who care and give.
6. -- they believe all that was revealed on the Prophet (SAW) – be it the Quran or Hadith
7. -- And what was revealed before the Prophet (SAW) such as the things that were revealed the previous Prophets, the previous scriptures.
16. What is shown in this? Putting in the effort to do something. Imagine yourself praying, you’re standing, sitting, prostrating, bending, etc. Similarly, a farmer, a فلاح is also putting in a similar kind of effort. He is standing, bending, sitting continuously. He doesn’t stand around thinking and wondering or hoping. But he puts in the physical effort to achieve what he desires. Striving for what you want is a must.
17. -- When they do this, they are fulfilling the rights of Allah’s slaves. Whatever a farmer grows, he doesn’t use all of it for himself. Some of what he has grown is given to the people or maybe occasionally a bird or insect has eaten it. And some has been saved in order to grow again. 1 farmer but look how many are benefit from him? Now comparing a farmer’s life to a متقي life. A متقي life should also be beneficial.
18. Beautiful Hadith about Sadqah: In the mosque of the Prophet (SAW), the Prophet (SAW) offered congregational prayer. After praying the people were still sitting in the Masjid, that a person came. But since the congregational prayer had already been offered, he stood at a distance and began to offer his prayers himself. On seeing this the Prophet said, is there anyone who can do Sadqah on him? (And how is that to be done? By offering Prayers with him.) A man stood up. And who was this? Hazrat Abu Bakr and offered prayers with him. This was a Sadqah. How did he help do Sadqah?
27. -- متقي believes in what is sent to you (The Prophet). Good farmers take benefits from the experience of the farmers before them. There are some farmers who are uneducated and are living their daily routine. And there are some farmers who have every kind of information. You cannot just read books and become a good farmer but, by the previous experiences. So a successful person is one who believes that his knowledge is not enough and he benefits from the experience of people before him in the same field.
28.
29. -- all the efforts you are putting in. Getting up, writing, walking, and sitting down. All the steps you are taking in this path will lead you to success. The money spend in this path will become a Sadqah for you. Money is not an obligation. Just look at what you have and your brother does not have, bodily strength, intellect, knowledge. What do you have that he doesn’t, so that you can give it to him.
30. -- accept whatever you find out about the Quran or Sunnah. We cannot say we believe in the Quran but not the Hadith.
31. -- respecting and honoring the good things of the previous messengers, their teachings, their guidance. We should follow all the teachings of any of the Prophets.
32. -- How many times do you actually ever think that you will return to your Rabb? You need to be Akhira-oriented.Always think that what I am doing, I will get the reward for it tomorrow. Always think what benefits you will get after doing such and such deeds. Never think you will not get reward for any of your work, for example house work. Ensure that you do not remind anyone of your favors. A متقي always focuses on what he has. Because if he focuses on what he doesn’t, he will never be able to help anyone. If we don’t realize how much we have, then we will always complain. The spirit of giving, therefore, would not develop.<br />

![A’le ImranThis is because they will come in the shape of 2 clouds. Two lines of birds on the day of resurrection. They will argue on the behalf of their people on that day.<br />The Prophet said: Make a habit of reading Surah Baqarah for reading it brings down the Baraqah (blessings of Allah) on you and Neglecting it is a matter of regret and a misfortune. And men of falsehood cannot overcome it.<br />Surah Baqarah is a Madani Surah (it was revealed in Medina). It comprises of 286 Ayahs and 40 Rukus.<br />Word Analysis is described in the PowerPoint.<br />Summary of these Ayahs: <br />Ayah 1:. We don’t know the meaning of these letters. Their meaning has not been told to us but we are informed about its reward.<br />Hadith: the Prophet said that the reward for reading the Quran is that when we read one hark (letter) you get 10 reward. will get you 10 rewards. will get you 10 rewards. will get you 10 rewards. Summing up to 30 rewards.<br />Ayah 2: <br /> ------ > This book. If you notice earlier it was said to be that book (in the PowerPoint). But that means something that is a distance away from us. And we know that the book is referred to the Quran which is present before us. So why is it said as that?<br />,[object Object]](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
