3 INTRODUCTION The aim of this booklet is to introduce the reader to the topic from the Qur an. It can be studied on its own and it also complements the video lecture of the same topic which accompanies it. The booklet contains ayaat (Qura nic verses) pertaining to the topic as discussed in the video lecture in a question and answer format. Questions are raised, and their answers are given by the ayaat. The ordering and numbering of the ayaat corresponds with those on the lecture which can be downloaded from the video lectures section of IIPC website: The Qura nic references provided herein are not exhaustive but offer the core essence of the subject. The references that have been excluded in this publication can be researched using any good concordance and it will be discovered that the selection introduced in this publication will harmonize the entire sequence. It is hoped that Muslim readers will memorize these ayaat along with their Arabic text and engage in Da wah (propagation of Islam) to their friends and colleagues, and also be able to recite the same in their Salah (prayer). In this manner, the booklet becomes a useful tool for everyday Muslim practice - Insha Allah. Translations of ayaat are by Mohammad Shaikh, any questions, comments or suggestions regarding the topic are welcomed via info@iipccanada.com ABOUT INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC PROPAGATION CENTER. International Islamic Propagation Center (IIPC) is a Da wah organization that aims to promote Al-Qur an, the Book of Allah. IIPC was founded by Mohammad Shaikh in 1985 at Karachi, Pakistan. However, IIPC's current location is Mississauga, Canada as a registered charitable organization. Since then it invites people of all faiths and beliefs to understand and appreciate Al-Qur an through lectures delivered by Mohammad Shaikh, and strives to reach the masses by means of events, print publications, electronic media productions, internet TV broadcasts and website. The center endeavors to propagate Al-Islam in its pristine form based on the ayaat (signs) of Allah and the general public can benefit from its activities by means of the free of cost learning materials and direct consultations with the speaker on understanding and practices of Al-Qur an in their daily lives. The center has no political or sectarian affiliation and is run Fi-sabeel Allah solely on a charitable basis. We request all Muslims to join hands with us in the cause of Allah and support our mission of Da wah i.e. invitation of Al-Islam to the masses of the world.

4 READ! WITH THE NAME OF YOUR LORD AL-QUR'AN THE BOOK OF ALLAH. JUST TWO AYATS / VERSES OUT OF OVER 6,000 FROM AL-QURAN. And We have made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember. Is there anyone that will receive admonition? Al-Qamar 54:17 THE HOLY AL-QUR'AN * A PROCLAMATION TO HUMANITY * A FOUNTAIN OF MERCY AND WISDOM. * A WARNING TO THE HEEDLESS. * A GUIDE TO THE ASTRAY. * AN ASSURANCE TO DOUBTFUL. * A SOLACE TO THE SUFFERING. * A HOPE TO THOSE IN DESPAIR. Do they not ponder over the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah, surely there would have found many contradictions in it. Al-Nisa 4:82 Our Motto And when Allah took the charter of those who are given Al-Kitab / The Book that you would make it clear for mankind and you will not keep it secret then they threw it behind their backs and purchase with it a little value so what a miserable purchase. Aal-e-imran 3:187

5 AAL-E-IMRAN Surely Ad-deen / the judgement in the nearness of Allah is Al-Islam / to attain peace. And those who were given Al-kitab / the book did not differ except to wrong each other after the knowledge came to them. And whosoever rejects with the ayats / signs of Allah then surely Allah is quick in taking the account. AAL-E-IMRAN Do they seek judgement other than Allah. And whosoever is in the skies and the earth have voluntarily / willingly or dislikingly / unwillingly submitted to Him, and they return towards Him. POINTS 1. What is the judgement before Allah? 2. How is the willing or unwilling submission takes place? 1 2

6 N AL-BAQARA When his (Ibraheem s pbuh) Lord said for him, submit, he said I submit for the Lord of the worlds. 132.And with this Ibraheem / Abraham (pbuh) and Yaqoob / Jacob (pbuh) left the testament for his sons, O my sons surely Allah has choosen for you Ad-deen / the judgement, then do not die except you are muslims / submitters. 133.Were you witnesses when death came to Yaqoob / Jacob (pbuh), when he said to his sons, what you will serve after me? They said, we will serve your God and Allah / God of your ancestors Ibraheem / Abraham (pbuh) and Ismail / Ishmael (pbuh) and Ishaaq / Isaac (pbuh) who is one God and we are muslims / submitters for Him. 3 AL-HAJJ And jahedo / you strive in Allah as the right of His jehad / strive. He has chosen you and He has made no difficulty over you in Ad-deen / the judgement (i.e.islam / to attain peace). The millat / religion of your ancestor Ibraheem (pbuh). He has named you muslimeen / submitters from before and in this so that the messenger be a witness over you and you be a witness over mankind. Then establish salah / prayer and give zakah / justification and hold fast with Allah. He is your Protector so He is the blessed Protector and the blessed Helper. 4

7 AAL-E-IMRAN 3 84.Say, we believe with Allah and what is revealed on us and what was revealed on Ibraheem (pbuh) and Ismail (pbuh) and Ishaq (pbuh) and Yaqoob (pbuh) and tribes and what was given to Moosa (pbuh), Essa (pbuh) and the prophets is from their Lord. We do not make distinction between anyone from them and we are muslims / submitters for Him. AAL-E-IMRAN Say, O people of the book! Come to a word that is common between you and us that we serve none except Allah, and that we do not associate anything with Him and that we do not take from some of us Lords other than Allah. Then if they turn back then say you bear witness that we are muslims / submitters POINTS What is our belief as muslims? Are we allowed to make distinction among the prophets? POINTS 1. What is the job of a muslim? 2. What is the standpoint of a muslim? 5 6

8 AL-ARAF And you take revenge from us except that we believe with the ayats / signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord pour patience over us and You complete us (our souls / selves / psyches) as muslims / submitters (for Allah). AL-QALAM Then do We make the muslims / submitters like the mujrims / criminals? 36. What is the matter with you? How do you govern / judge? AL-HIJR Again and again those who reject wish that they were muslims / submitters? 37. Or for you is there any book from it you take lessons? 38. Surely in it is a betterment for you. POINTS 1. Identify yourself. 2. Does Allah make criminals like the muslims / submitters (for Allah)? 7 8

9 AL-QASAS And when the (ayats / signs) are recited over them, they say, we believe with it surely it is the truth from our Lord, surely we were from before muslims / submitters of it. YOUNUS Then this day We will save you in your body, so that you become an ayat / sign for those who come after you. And surely many among mankind are unaware of Our ayats / signs. YOUNUS And We took the children of Israel across the sea, so pharaoh and his forces followed them in wrong and in enmity, until he realized of drowning, he said, I believe that there is no god except Him whom the children of Israel believe with and I am from those who are muslims / submitters. POINTS 1. Can we become a muslim / submitter in the last moment of our life? 2. Pharaoh s body is preserved for us to verify and take lesson? 91. Ah, now and without doubt a little while before you were disobeying and you were from the corrupted ones. 9 10

10 AAL-E-IMRAN 3 N AL-BAQARA O' you who believe! Take guard of Allah, as the right of taking His guard, and die not except you are muslims /submitters (for Allah). 128.O Our Lord, make both of us muslims / submitters for You and from our offsprings muslim / submitter nation for You. And show both of us our places of solitude and turn to us. Surely You are the Returning, the Merciful. 103.And hold fast all together with the rope of Allah and do not be divided and remember the favor of Allah on you when you were enemies and He joined your hearts in love then with His favour your morning was of brotherhood. And you were on the edge of the pit of fire so He saved you from it. Likewise Allah make His ayats / signs clear to you that you may be guided

11 AL-QALAM Then do We make the muslims / submitters like the mujrims / criminals? 36. What is the matter with you? How do you govern / judge? Questions & Answers 37. Or for you is there any book from it you take lessons? 38. Surely in it is a betterment for you. Q1. In Surah Qalam 68:35-38 Allah is saying shall We make muslims and criminals same? Can you further clarify who are the criminals according to the Quran? 13 14

12 AL-BAQARA And with this Ibraheem / Abraham (pbuh) and Yaqoob / Jacob (pbuh) left the testament for his sons, O my sons surely Allah has choosen for you Ad-deen / the judgement, then do not die except you are muslims / submitters. N AL-HIJR Again and again those who reject wish that they were muslims / submitters? Q3.Can you further clarify Surah Al-Hijr 15:2 that how again and again rejecters are wishing to be muslims / submitters? 133. Were you witnesses when death came to Yaqoob / Jacob (pbuh), when he said to his sons, what you will serve after me? They said, we will serve your God and Allah / God of your ancestors Ibraheem / Abraham (pbuh) and Ismail / Ishmael (pbuh) and Ishaaq / Isaac (pbuh) who is one God and we are muslims / submitters for Him. Q2.In Surah Al-Baqara 2:132,133 Ibraheem (pbuh) and Yaqoob (pbuh) took the testament from their sons. So can we also educate and take this testament with our children by following the footsteps of these messengers? 15 16

13 AAL-E-IMRAN 3 N AL-BAQARA Say, we believe with Allah and what is revealed on us and what was revealed on Ibraheem (pbuh) and Ismail (pbuh) and Ishaq (pbuh) and Yaqoob (pbuh) and tribes and what was given to Moosa (pbuh), Essa (pbuh) and the prophets is from their Lord. We do not make distinction between anyone from them and we are muslims / submitters for Him. 133.Were you witnesses when death came to Yakoob / Jacob (pbuh), when he said to his sons, what you will serve after me? They said, we will serve your God and Allah / God of your ancestors Ibraheem / Abraham (pbuh) and Ismail / Ishmael (pbuh) and Ishaaq / Isaac (pbuh) who is one God and we are muslims / submitters for Him. AL-BAQARA Those are the messengers We gave superiority to some of them over some. From them are those to whom Allah spoke and rafa / raised some of them in degrees... XXXXXX AL-QALAM And surely you are on a great moral character. Q4.In Surah Aal-e-Imran 3:84 it is said that we cannot make difference between any prophets. But the concept in the society is that Muhammad (pbuh) is superior than any other prophets? Or they say, surely Ibraheem (pbuh) and Ismaeel (pbuh) and Is'haq (pbuh) and Yaqoob (pbuh) and the tribes are hood / lenient / jews or nasara / helpers / christians. Say, do you know more or Allah? And who is more unjust than the one who concealed the evidence he has from Allah? And Allah is not unaware about what you do. Q5.In Al-Baqara 2:133 why Allah is emphasizing in the beginning of this ayat that were you all witnesses when death came to Yaqoob / Jacob (pbuh)? 18

14 AAL-E-IMRAN Ibraheem (pbuh) was not a yahoodi / lenient / jew and nasrani / helper / christian but he was a true muslim. And he was not from those who associate. 19
