One must remember to ponder, reflect and understand the Quran properly, thereby actualizing the true reason for its revelation.
Islam lessons from the worlds best teacherArab Muslim
The document discusses teaching techniques used by the Prophet Muhammad. It provides examples from hadiths where the Prophet took the intellectual level of his audience into consideration and was concise in his speech. He used questions and analogies to help people understand rather than simply telling them what to do. This encouraged independent thinking.

Episode 3 (introduction to ramadhaan)[final]Xenia Y
This episode provides an introduction to Ramadan through an interview between the host Yusuf Chambers and Dr. Zakir. Dr. Zakir defines key terms like Ramadan, which refers to the intense heat and dryness experienced during fasting, and Saum or fast, which means abstaining from food, drink, and sexual activity. He explains the different types of compulsory fasts in Islam and provides evidence from the Quran and hadiths that fasting during Ramadan is obligatory. The history of fasting practices among Muslims is also discussed, noting it changed from 3 days a month to the entire month of Ramadan.
The document discusses the importance of truly understanding the Quran rather than just reciting it without comprehension. It notes that many recite the Quran today without understanding, similar to some Jews and Christians described in the Quran. The document urges developing a relationship with the Quran through deep contemplation and applying its teachings, as the Sahaba did by studying verses in detail before moving on. It emphasizes living according to the Quran rather than just keeping it on shelves.
- Reciting Surah Al-Fatihah is compulsory in every prayer according to hadiths from Prophet Muhammad.
- Scholars differ on whether it must be recited aloud or quietly when praying behind an imam. Most say it should be recited quietly during prayers where the imam recites aloud, based on Quran and hadith.
- The majority Hanafi view is that the follower should recite Surah Al-Fatihah quietly in prayers where the imam recites quietly (zuhr, asr), and when the imam pauses in loud prayers (fajr, maghrib, isha).
The document provides information about supererogatory prayers in Islam, including:
1) Supererogatory prayers can make up for any deficiencies in obligatory prayers and have virtues not found in other acts of worship.
2) It is preferred to pray supererogatory prayers at home rather than in mosques to avoid showing off.
3) Supererogatory prayers can be elongated and portions can be prayed sitting or standing.
4) There are general supererogatory prayers and specific ones like the sunnah prayers before and after the five daily obligatory prayers.
Digital Humanities for Arabic Book History (Professor Sarah Savant)Naomi Wells
The document discusses the KITAB project, which aims to digitally preserve and analyze Arabic texts from the 7th to 15th centuries using new digital methods. It seeks to study the transmission and circulation of ideas through copied texts. The project covers fields like the history of reading and writing, evidence of reuse and recycling of texts, and networks of transmission. It has built a corpus of over 1.5 billion words of Arabic texts and is developing computational models to analyze citation practices and text reuse across this corpus. Challenges include the size and complexity of the Arabic language and aligning goals and workflows between different disciplines involved in the project.

This document is the preface and introduction to a book titled "Learning how to read Arabic the Quick way". It discusses the following:
1) The book aims to teach beginners the basics of reading and writing Arabic in a simplified and quick manner, covering topics like tawheed, tajweed, and dhikr.
2) The author saw that a similar book from Indonesia taught children to read the Quran proficiently in a short time using an easy method, so they wrote this book to introduce that quick method.
3) The method uses a new, facilitated approach compared to the traditional Baghdad method of teaching the alphabet. The author hopes this book will help students learn efficiently
The document discusses the correct understanding of fasting (sawom) in Ramadan based on Quranic verses 2:185 and 2:187. It argues that traditional interpretations contradict the Quran by claiming fasting involves hunger and abstaining from sexual relations at night. Instead, it says the Quran enjoins conveying Allah's message during Ramadan, including at night in places of prostration like temples at the time, and cooperating with women in related activities with their safety in mind. Key words are explained based on Arabic grammar and usage to support this reading, challenging traditional translations.
This document is an Islamic-English alphabet book created by Muhammad Haroon to introduce English letters to kindergarten students using terms from the Quran, Hadith, Islamic history, and Muslim world history.

This document discusses the importance of understanding the Quran and provides guidance on how to do so. It notes that the number of words in the Quran is disputed but estimated to be around 77,000. It emphasizes that the most precious moments for a Muslim are during salah, when an imam recites from the Quran. However, if one does not understand the full Quran, they may miss important messages during salah. It encourages making an effort to learn Arabic and completely understanding the Quran, rather than relying on translations, so as to gain the most benefit from daily prayers and lectures.

The document discusses the meaning of the Arabic word "بیت" (bayt) that is used in several verses of the Quran. It argues that bayt has incorrectly been translated as "house" when referring to the Kaaba, when the actual meaning is "charter" or "fixed way". It provides historical context about how pagan rituals were incorporated into Islam by using the Persian/Zoroastrian meaning of bayt as "house". The document elaborates on different uses of bayt in various Quranic verses and argues the correct translation should be "charter", "refuge" or "fixed way", not "house". It aims to clarify the true meaning and correct the misunderstanding caused by
This episode discusses the importance of following the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. Dr. Zakir explains that there are three types of Sunnah: sayings of the Prophet, actions of the Prophet, and approval of the Prophet. He provides examples of each. Dr. Zakir emphasizes that the Sunnah is the second most important source of guidance in Islam after the Quran, and outlines several Quranic verses that stress obeying both Allah and the Prophet. Neglecting the Sunnah could result in punishment in the hereafter.
The document lists 60 major sins in Islam based on various hadith sources and religious texts. It covers sins such as shirk (polytheism), murder, sorcery, not praying or fasting, theft, adultery, homosexuality, interest, oppression, lying, gambling, and others.

The goal is to help readers understand the meaning and message of the Quran while reciting it in Arabic.
The professor holds up a glass of water in class and asks students to guess its weight, which they do. He then asks what would happen if he held it up for longer periods of time - minutes, hours, days. While the weight would not change, his arm would become sore and possibly numb. He explains that life's problems are like the glass of water - they seem manageable at first but can overwhelm us if dwelled upon. The key is to "put the glass down" at the end of each day to avoid stress and start fresh the next day able to handle what comes.

The document discusses the views of the four main Imams (Abu Hanifa, Malik ibn Anas, Al-Shafi'i, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal) on following opinions (taqlid) versus following authentic hadith. All of the Imams emphasized that if an authentic hadith contradicts their opinion, the hadith must be followed instead of their opinion. They considered themselves fallible and subject to correcting their views when stronger evidence emerged. They instructed students and followers to take rulings directly from authentic sources rather than following their opinions without basis.

Knowledge of the unseen is something that Allaah has kept for Himself, as is indicated by the texts of the Qur’aan and Sunnah.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The noblest of the angelic Messengers, Jibreel, asked the noblest of the human Messengers, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Tell me about the Hour.” He said: “The one who is asked about it is does not know any more about it than the one who is asking” meaning, just as you have no knowledge of it, I have no knowledge of it either.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
1. Memorising the Qur'aan
Shaykh Abdur-Rahman Abdul Khaaliq hafidhahullaah
quot;Al-Qawaaid adh-Dhahabiyyah lil-Hifdh il-Quran il-Adheemquot;
My Brother and Sister Muslim - there is no doubt that you know of excellence of
memorising the Quran and the excellence of teaching it. The Messenger of Allah (sas) said:
quot;The best amongst you is the one who learns the Qur'aan and teaches it.quot; [Reported by
Bukhaaree]
Presented to you are some rules which will assist in memorising the Qur'aan, may Allah
benefit us by them.
1. Ikhlaas - (Sincerity)
The purification of ones intention and correcting ones desire is obligatory. It is likewise for
making ones concern with and memorisation of the Qur'aan for the sake of Allah, the
Sublime and Exalted, and for gaining success with His Paradise and obtaining His pleasure.
Also for obtaining those mighty rewards which are reserved for those who recited the
Qur'aan and memorised it. Allah the Exalted said:
So worship Allah, making the Deen sincerely for Him. Is it not to
Allah that sincere worship is due? [Zumar 39:2-3]
He also said:
Say: I have been commanded that I worship Allah making the Deen
sincerely for Him. [Zumar 39:11]
And the Messenger of Allah (sas) said: quot;Allah the Exalted said: I am so self-sufficient that I
am in no need of having an associate. Thus, he who does an action for someone else's sake
as well as Mine will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with
Me.quot; [Bukhaaree and Muslim]
Therefore, there is no reward for the one who recited the Qur'aan and memorised it to show
off and to be heard of. There is also no doubt that the one who recited the Qur'aan desiring
by it the world and seeking some sort of worldly reward for it is sinful.
2. Correction of ones Pronunciation and Recitation
The first step in memorising the Qur'aan after that of Ikhlaas is the obligation of correcting
the pronunciation of the Qur'aan. This does not occur except by listening to a good reciter
or a precise memoriser of the Qur'aan. The Qur'aan is not learned except by acquiring it
(from another). Thus, the Messenger (sas) who is the most eloquent of the arabs in speech,
took it from Jibreel (as) orally. The Messenger (sas) himself used to recited the Qur'aan to
Jibreel once in every year and in the year that he died he recited it to him twice. [Reported
by Bukhaaree]
Likewise, the Messenger taught it to the Companions (ra) orally and those who came after
2. them heard it from the Companions and so on for each generation after them.
Taking the Qur'aan from a good reciter is obligatory. Likewise, correcting ones recitation
firstly and not depending on oneself in its recitation even if one is knowledgeable of the
Arabic language and of its principles, is also obligatory. This is because in the Qur'aan there
are many verses which occur in a way that is opposed to what is well known in the rules of
the Arabic language.
3. Specifying a Daily Limit for Memorisation
It is necessary for the one desiring to memorise the Qur'aan that he sets himself a daily limit
for memorising. a number of verses for example, perhaps a page or two pages or even an
eighth of a juz (one thirtieth of the Qur'aan). So he begins, after he has corrected his
recitation and set his daily limit, to learn by frequent repetition. It is also necessary that this
repetition is done melodiously and this is so that a person follows the Sunnah firstly and
that it the memorisation is made firm and strong secondly. Melodious recitation is pleasing
to ones hearing and also assists in memorisation. Furthermore, the tongue will always
return to a specific tone (of voice) and as a result of this it will become familiar with any
mistake whenever the balance in ones recitation and familiar tone becomes disordered or
imbalanced. The reciter will know therefore, that his tongue will not comply with him when
he makes a mistake and that if the tone is wrong or out of tune, his memorisation will
return to him.
All of this is because reciting the Qur'aan and beautifying it with ones voice is a matter
which has been commanded. It is not permissible to oppose this command due to the saying
of the Messenger (sas): quot;Whoever does not beautify the Quran (recite it melodiously) he is
not of us.quot; [Bukhaaree]
4. Not Surpassing One's Daily Limit until You Have Perfected its
Memorisation.
It is not permissible for the memoriser to move to a new portion of the Qur'aan until after
he has perfected the memorisation of his previous limit. This is so that whatever he has
memorised is firmly established in his mind. There is no doubt that amongst those things
which aid the memoriser is his occupation with what he has memorised through the hours
of the day and night. This occurs by reciting it in the silent prayers, and if he is the imaam
then in the loud prayers. Also in the superogatory prayers (nawaafil) and in the times when
one is waiting for the obligatory prayers. By this method the memorisation will become a lot
easier. In this way it is possible for a person to practise it even if he is occupied with other
matters and this is because he does not simply sit at a specific time for memorising the
Qur'aan. Thus the night will not arrive except with those verses memorised and firmly
established in the mind. And if there is something which has occupied the memoriser
during this day, he should not move onto his next portion of the Qur'aan, rather he should
continue on the second day with what he had started with the day before until the
memorisation becomes perfected.
5. Memorise Using the Same Copy (Mushaf) of the Quran
Among the things which aid the memorisation is that the memoriser should keep for
himself a specific mushaf (copy of the Qur'aan) which he should never change. This is
because a person memorises using the sight just as he memorises using the hearing. The
script and form of the verses and their places in the mushaf leave an imprint in the mind
when they are recited and looked at frequently. If the memoriser was to change his mushaf
3. from which he memorises or if he was to memorise from a number of different copies the
places of the verses would be in different places and also the script may also be different.
This makes the memorisation difficult for him. Therefore it is obligatory for the one
memorising the Qur'aan that he does so from a single script and mushaf and he should
never replace it.
6. Understanding is the Way to Memorising
Among the things which greatly aid the process of memorisation is understanding the
verses that one has memorised and knowing their relationship and link, one to another.
This is why it is necessary for the memoriser to read the tafseer (explanation) of those
verses which he desires to memorise and that he knows their connection, one with another.
Also, that he brings this to mind when he is reciting. This makes it easier for him to
memorise the verses. Having said this, it is also necessary that he does not depend on
knowing the meaning of the verses alone in memorising them. Rather the repetition of
these verses should be the foundation. This should be done until the tongue can recite the
verses even if the mind is occupied with other than the meaning of these verses. This is sign
that the verses are firmly established in the mind. As for the one who relies upon the
meaning alone then he will forget often and his recitation will be disjointed due to his mind
being scattered and occupied with other things. This occurs frequently, especially when the
recitation is long.
7. Do not move on from a Complete Surah until you have connected the first
part of it to the last
After one surah from among the surahs of the Qur'aan has been completed it is desirable for
the memoriser that he does not move onto another surah except after having perfected its
memorisation and connecting its first part to its last so that his tongue can flow in reciting
it, from its beginning to its end. He should be able to recite it without having to think or go
through trouble in remembering the verses. Rather it is a must that the memorisation (and
recitation) of these verses is like (flowing) water and that the memoriser recites these verses
with out hesitation, even if his mind is occupied with more than one thing, away from the
meaning of these verses. It should be as a person recites Surah Faatihah without any
difficulty or having to think about it. This occurs by repeating these verses frequently and
reciting them often. However the memorisation of every surah of the Qur'aan will not be
like that of Surah Faatihah except rarely but the intent and desire should be to try to make it
as such. Therefore, it is necessary that when a surah is completed it is firmly established in
the mind, with its beginning connected to its end and that the memoriser does not move
onto another surah until he has memorised it with precision.
8. Reciting to Others
It is necessary for the memoriser not to depend on himself for his memorisation. Rather he
should test his memorisation by reciting the verses or surah in question to somebody else,
or he should recite them by following the mushaf. And how excellent this would be if a
person had with him a precise memoriser (who would test his memorisation). This is so that
the memoriser becomes aware of the possibility of his being forgetful or confused in his
recitation (without knowing it). Many individuals amongst us who memorise a surah make
mistakes and a person may not realise that until he looks into the mushaf. Furthermore, the
one who desires to memorise may not realise by himself at which place he makes an error in
his recitation despite the fact that he may be reciting from a mushaf. For this reason making
others listen to his recitation of what he has memorised from the Qur'aan is a means of
perceiving and knowing these errors and being constantly aware of them.
4. 9. Constantly Returning to what one has Memorised
The Qur'aan is different from any other material that is memorised such as poetry and
prose. And this is because the Qur'aan is quickly lost from ones mind. In fact the Messenger
of Allah (sas) said: quot;By Him in whose Hand is my soul, it is faster in escaping than a tied
camel.quot;
Reported by Bukhaaree and Muslim.
No sooner does the memoriser of the Qur'aan leave it for a while until the Qur'aan slips
away from him and so he forgets it quickly. This is why it is necessary to constantly follow
up what one has memorised and to be vigilant over it. Regarding this we have the saying of
the Messenger (sas):
quot;Verily, the example of the owner of the Qur'aan is like the example of the
owner of the tied camel. If he keeps it tied (commits himself to it) he will hold it
back and if he lets it loose it will escape from him.quot;
And he also said:
quot;Commit yourselves to the Qur'aan, for by Him in Whose Hand is my soul, it is
faster in slipping away than a tied camel.quot; [Reported by Bukhaaree and
Muslim]
This means that it is obligatory upon the memoriser of the Qur'aan to continuously recite
what he has memorised from the Qur'aan. With this constant attention and returning to
what has been memorised will the Qur'aan remain in his mind and without it, it will
escape.
10. Being Aware of the Resembling Parts of the Quran
The various parts of the Qur'aan resemble each other with respect to the meaning, wording
and (repetition of) verses. The Exalted said:
Allah has sent down the most beautiful of speech, a Book, (parts of it)
resembling (others) oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their
Lord shiver from it. Then their skins and their hearts soften to the
remembrance of Allah [Zumar 39:23].
The Qur'aan has approximately six and a half-thousand verses. And there are
approximately a thousand verses in which there is a resemblance of some sort. Sometimes
there is agreement or difference due to a single letter or a word or two or more. For this
reason it is necessary for the good reciter of the Qur'aan that he has special concern for the
parts of the Qur'aan that resemble each other in terms of their wording. The excellence of
ones memorisation will be according to the extent that one has concern for these
resembling parts. One of the ways to aid oneself in this matter is to study those books which
deal with this topic of resembling verses in the Qur'aan. Among the most famous of them
are:
1. Durratul-Tanzeel wa Ghurratut-Ta'weel fee Bayaan il Aayaat al-
Mutashaabihaat fee Kitaab il-Laahi il-Azeez by al-Khateeb al-Iskaafee
2. Asraar ut-Tukraar fil-Quran by Mahmood bin Hamzah ibn Nasr al-
5. Kirmaanee.
11. Taking Advantage of the Golden Years of Memorising
The successful one, inevitably, is the one who takes advantage of the best years of
memorisation and these are from the age of five to twenty-three approximately. A person's
ability to memorise during these years is very good. In fact these are the golden years of
memorising. Therefore, it is necessary for a person to keep himself occupied during the
these years of his life, memorising the Book of Allah as much as he can.
Committing things to memory at this age can be done very quickly and forgetting is not so
easy. This is in opposition to what happens after this time when a person memorises with
difficulty and forgets with great speed. He spoke the truth who said:
Memorising in youth is like engraving on stone and memorising when old is like
engraving on water
Thus, it is necessary for all of us to take advantage of the golden years of memorising. If we
cannot then we should encourage our sons and daughters to do so.
And with Allah is success and prayers and peace be upon our Messenger Muhammad, upon
his family and all his Companions.
