The virtues of Surah Al Imran ------- Azahrawaen(the two radiant ones)
Two types of Ayahs in Quran. (1) Absolutely clear and understandable
Ayahs ---- Core of the book. Root and essence of all teachings. The
fundamentals of the true faith, worship and morality, mandatory duties and
prohibitions. (2) Ambiguous Ayahs ------ Unclear, Definite meaning cannot
be ascertained. The truths which lie beyond the range of human
perception.
7. Don’t run after ambiguous; they are beyond our
comprehension and conceptualization.
Mischief and mislead people or who have an abnormal passion
for superfluities devote their attention to hair-splitting
discussions about the contents of the ‘ambiguous” verses.
Supplication Ayah No. 8 ----- Saving the hearts from turning
towards crookedness after guidance.

Battle of Badr(map) ---- Yaumal Furqan ----- Allah ‘s succors
Lessons from this battle (Ebrat ---- to pass or transmit from one stage

of arms (3) the outcome of the battle came as a shocking humiliation
to those who were heedless of God’s might.
11. Allah created love of wealth, children, women and
possessions, man is naturally inclined towards them,
and affairs of this world grow and survive through this
instinctive love for these things. Islam is Deen e Fitrat
so it only asked us to put reins on this love and
subservient under Allah’s commands.
Heart is our boat and this love is water, water is
necessary for boat to row but if this water gets into the
boat, the boat will sink.
12. Supplication Ayah 16 -- We should recite this dua often.
