Quranic verses are cited that reference Allah's generosity.
The document discusses the miracle of the Quran, providing several points of evidence:
1) The Quran could not have been authored by the Prophet Muhammad as he was illiterate and the content disagreed with some of his actions.
2) The beautiful language and rhythm of the Quran have not been replicated, despite challenges to produce a similar work.
3) The Quran contains timeless parables and themes that accurately portray ideas and goals in a way that is universally understood.

The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.
This Tafsir is particularly suitable for Muslims with no direct access to the Arabic original.

2. Contemplating creation leads to understanding characteristics of the creator, such as wisdom, knowledge, awareness. Nature itself has no attributes to create.
3. One who lacks attributes cannot endow them in others. Nature lacks attributes like mind, knowledge, and will, so could not have created humans with such attributes.
The document seeks to rationally justify belief in a supreme creator through examining the natural world and refuting the idea that nature itself is the creator.

This slide program gives explanation of Surah Al kauthar. it tells us how to prepare ourselves to be eligible to drink from Al-Kausar. Why we are suffering from Ghaflah. How to develop closer relation to Allah and our beloved Prophet (SAW) to be successful.
The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.

The document discusses several topics related to knowledge and science mentioned in the Quran and Hadith:
1. Numerous verses encourage the pursuit of knowledge.
2. Modern scientific discoveries have found that descriptions of human embryonic development, mountains, clouds, seas, and other phenomena in the Quran correspond accurately to modern science, despite being revealed over 1400 years ago.
3. Other scientific topics mentioned in the Quran such as the Big Bang theory, iron meteors, time zones, and celestial bodies have also been affirmed by modern science research. This demonstrates remarkable harmony between the Quran and science.
This document summarizes the key points from chapters in the book "Kitaab At-Tawheed" by Shaikh Imam Muhammad Abdul-Wahhaab. It discusses various topics related to tawheed (monotheism in Islam), including:
1. The purpose of creation is to worship Allah alone.
2. Allah has sent messengers to all communities commanding them to worship Him alone and reject all false gods.
3. Worship of Allah alone is obligatory, and one must also be dutiful to parents.
4. Acts like associating partners with Allah in worship, unlawful killing, shameful sins, and disrespecting parents are strictly prohibited.
The document discusses several references in the Quran related to knowledge and the pursuit of knowledge. It then provides examples of topics discussed in the Quran that have been discovered by modern science, including the origin of the universe, expansion of the universe, human embryonic development, mountains, clouds, seas and rivers. The document argues that the Quran contained scientific facts about these topics that were unknown at the time, but have since been discovered by scientific inquiry.
The document discusses several references in the Quran related to knowledge and the pursuit of knowledge. It then summarizes several scientific phenomena described in the Quran such as the expansion of the universe, creation of iron, human embryonic development, functions of the cerebrum, the Cat's Eye Nebula, and properties of mountains, clouds, seas and rivers. The document argues that modern scientific discoveries have found agreements with descriptions of these phenomena found in the Quran which were revealed over 1400 years ago.
Kitaab At-Tawheed
Kitab at-Tawheed written by Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul Wahaab. It is an excellent and comprehensive book. It illuminates to the reader the light of tawheed [the Oneness of Allah]; tawheed, the very foundation of this deen, the single most important concept and the purpose behind our creation.

Surah Al-Waqiah discusses important topics such as the Day of Recompense when people will be divided into three categories, the reward of the foremost believers and those on the right hand, and the punishment of those on the left hand. It emphasizes Allah's greatness through his creation of plants, sending of rain, and kindling of fire. The surah also references the creation of man, protection of the Quran, and what occurs at the time of death. It concludes by stating the absolute truth and certainty of the Day of Recompense and praising Allah as the Most Great.
The document discusses a list of items numbered from 1 to 133. For each numbered item, there are one or more sentences of text followed by the number in Arabic numerals. The document provides details on over 130 individually numbered items or topics, but does not provide any clear overall context or summary information to tie the individual items together.
The document discusses a variety of topics in an abstract manner using punctuation symbols and formatting. It references people, places, events, and concepts using letters, symbols and other cryptic references across multiple languages. The overall content and meaning is unclear due to the obscure and ambiguous nature of the references and lack of context or explanation provided.

Praisebe to Allah, the Lord of worlds;
peace and blessingsof Allah be upon His
messenger Muhammad, the trustworthy
guide, and upon his family, his companions
and those who follow his guidancetill the
Day of Judgment. The Holy Qur'an starts
with SurahAl-Fatiha, the greatest surah, and
is followed by Surah Al- Baqarah, which
classifies people into three general catego-
ries,as follows:
l-The first categoryare the believers,as
mentionedin four versesin the saidSurah
(Al-Baqara).
2-The secondone is the disbelievers, as
mentioned two verses
in thereof.
3-The third one is the hypocrites,their
f-eatures mentionedin thirteen verses
are
thereof. Commenting on these said
verses,Al-Sheikh Sayed Kutub pointed
out in his book "In The Shadeof Qur'an"
that by mentioningthesethree categories,

straightpath, which is totally pure (mono-
theistic), beneficial, ethical, successful,
and dutiful - this is the characterof the
righteous.
Al-Sheikh Sayed Kutub (-uy Allah
have mercy upon him) was exceptionally
skillful in interpretation the Holy Qur'an

nessof Allah and not joining othersin wor-

That water cycle on the earth and its

undeniable. Thereforeit is enoughto irnply
about it and remind (people)with it in the

course,you know that Allah has createdyou
and those who were before you and you
know that He has made the earth a resting

First, it is an honor and a privilege to the
Prophet(PBtfD to be a slaveto Allah. This
denotesthat the slaveryto Allah is the high-
est, prestigious place for peopleto be called
upon as well as Muhammad (PBUH) to be
called thereto.Secondly,it is affirming the
meaningof slaveryto Ailah in callingpeople
not to worship rivals but Allah. Here is the
FrophetMuhammad(PBLIH),in position of
the revealer-the highestplace,was called to
be a slave of Allah. which was an honor to
him.
The said challenge was focusedin the
beginning of the surah. The sent Qur'an is
rnadeof the known Arabic alphabetwhich is
familiar to them. if they are skepticalof it,
then they are to producea suralt thereof and
call theil rivals to witnessbesidesAllah. As

lenge mentionedhere is amazing;it is con-
sideredcertainly an unachievable one. If it
was deniable,they could not hesitateto en-
tirely disapprove (the Qur'an).There is no
it
doubt that the Holy Qur'an confinned the
said challenge and they (the disbelievers)
saw this challengeunmet as they admitted
and described as a uniquemiracle..There
it
was an invitation before them and if they
brought contrary evidence,then the Holy
Qur'an would be proved false. On the con-
trary, this was and is, not the case as this
challenge was to the past,present, and future
generations. This is a final and historical

reveal this great fact. Peopleare the samein
the aspect of creation:head, body, limbs,
flesh, blood, bones,nerves,two eyes, two
ears,a mouth,a tongueand living cells.This

their characteristicsand their capabilities?
The variation betweenone man and another,
although both are similar, could be as far as
the earthand the sky!
This Allah-made variation is beyond
comprehension; variation in types and in
the
species,the variation in forms and features,
and the variation in advantages and in char-
acteristics-all are stemmedfrom one cell
similar in content and arrangement.Who
daresnot to worship Allah alone when any-
one can seethis evidence His creationand
in
the signsof His ability? Who daresto wor-
ship rivals to Allah when His miracles are
apparent everyone? miraclesare every
to His
where,whethervisibleor invisible!
