Lughatul Qur'an - Part 1 Everyday Recitations
1. Lughatul-Qur'aan 1 Part I: Everyday Recitations
!
Part I:
Do I Know What I Read Daily!?
This part contains meanings of commonly recited Surahs,
parts of Salah, and everyday prayers (du'aas). We recite them
almost daily and Insha-Allah will keep reciting them as long as
we live. It is sad that many of us don't spare even a few
moments to understand their meanings. (Please note that
from surah 101 onwards, towards the end of this book,
meanings of almost all the words of each surah are given for
ease of memorization).
There are numerous benefits of working on these basics. Some of them
(insha-Allah) are:
• During the daily prayers, a Muslim on the average repeats about 150
to 200 Arabic words and numerous sentences. By memorizing this part,
you will understand all of them.
• You will feel a difference in your attention and concentration during
the prayers. You will have less disturbance and whispering from
Shaitan during the prayers.
• And as a result, your attachment with Allah will increase during the
prayers and as a whole in your life.
• It will serve as an excellent starting step towards understanding
Qur'aan (or this Lughat). It will make you familiar with Arabic
sentence structure and some Grammar indirectly.
