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 AL-QASAS Surely He Who has ordained Al-Quran / The Reading on you definitely He will restore you to the place of habit. Say, my Lord knows well who comes with guidance and who is in clear astraying. AL-AHZAB Those who deliver the messages of Allah and fear Him and they do not fear anyone except Allah. And Allah is enough in taking the account. AL-ARAF 7 S AL-AHZAB There is no difficulty on the prophet in whatever Allah has ordained for him. This is the sunnah / the practice of Allah in those who passed away from before. And the order of Allah is a decree determined. 35. O children of Adam! Whenever the messengers come to you from you relating My ayats / signs over you, so whosoever takes guard and corrects then there will be no fear over them and they will not grieve. 1 2

6 N AL-BAQARA 2 P AN-NISA Allah intends to clarify for you and guides you to the sunnah / the practices of those from before you and He turns over you. And Allah is the Knower, Wise. 151.Like this We have send in you a messenger from your (self / psyche) who recites Our ayats / signs over you and he justifies you and gives you the knowledge of the book and the wisdom and gives you the knowledge of that you never knew. RQ AT-TALAAQ A messenger who recites clear ayats / signs of Allah over you, for he takes out those who believe and do corrections from the darkness towards the light. And whoever believes with Allah and he does corrections, He will make him enter in the gardens below which the rivers flow, they will live forever and ever in it. Without doubt the most beautiful sustenance of Allah is for him. 3 MQ AL-HIJR They do not believe with it and without doubt this was the sunnah / the practice of the earlier people who passed away. 4

7 AL-ANFAL 8 T GHAFIR 40 PL 38. Say for those who reject, if they stop, without doubt what is by gone He will forgive for them. And if they return then without doubt this was the sunnah / the practice of earlier people (that they do not believe with it) who have passed away. 84. So when they saw Our misery / suffering / anguish / grief they said we believe with Allah, Him alone and we reject with what we associate with Him. AL-KAHAF And what prevented mankind when the guidance came to them that they should have believe and they should have seek the forgiveness from their Lord except there come to them the sunnah / the practice of the earlier people (that they do not believe with it) or the punishment comes in front of them. MT 85. Their belief will never profit them when they saw Our misery / suffering / anguish / grief. Without doubt this is the sunnah / the practice of Allah that passed away in His servants. And there the rejecters were at loss. 5 6

8 AL-FATEH 48 PT FATIR 35 OQ And if those who reject fought you definitely they will turn their backs, then they will neither find a protector nor a helper. Without doubt this is the sunnah / the practice of Allah that passed away from before. And you will never find for the sunnah / the practice of Allah to change. 43. Seeking greatness in the earth and evil planning. And the evil planning does not surround except with his family. Then what they observe is nothing except the sunnah / the practice of the earlier people (that they do not believe with it) Then you will never find the sunnah / the practice of Allah to change and you will never find for the sunnah / the practice of Allah to transform. AAL-E-IMRAN 3 O 137. Without doubt the sunnah / the practices have passed away from before you. Then travel in the earth, then observe how was the consequence of those who belied. 7 8

9 AL-ISRA And if they were near enough they would have definitely stir you up from the earth to expel you from it and then they would not have stayed behind you except a little while. Questions & Answers 77. Without doubt this is sunnah / practice from Our messengers whom We have sent before you. And you will not find for Our sunnah / practice to transform. 9 10

10 R AL-ANAM And without doubt We have sent from before you towards nations. So We took them with misery and harm, that they may have humility. 43. Then why not when our misery reach them, They did not have humility, and their hearts became hard. And the satan adorned for them what they are doing. 44. So when they forgot what they have been reminded with it, We have opened the doors of everything on them. Until they rejoiced with what is given to them, We caught them suddenly, so they were those who are wrapped up in grief. N AL-BAQARA It is not righteousness that you turn your faces to make a qibla (i.e. the direction of belief) of the east and the west but righteousness is that he who believes with Allah and last day and the angels and the Book and the prophets. And upon His (Allah) love he gave wealth (i.e. 1/5th of the ghanim / profit and any amount according to his means) to those who are qurba / relatives and yatama / orphans and masakeen / needy (who are reduced to poverty) and ibn-e-sabeel / sons of the way and as-saileen / those who ask and those in ar-riqab / who are in slavery. And they establish salah / prayer and they give zakah / justification and when they promise, they fulfill their promises. And they are patient in misery and harm and during the time of misery. They are truthful ones and they are those who guard. Q1. As per surah Ghafir 40:84 is the word ba asna / misery / suffering indicates the meaning of punishment? Explain this word with some other ayat? 11 12

11 AL-QASAS Surely He Who has ordained Al-Quran / The Reading on you definitely He will restore you (by the Quran) to the place of habit. Say, my Lord knows well who comes with guidance, and who is in clear astraying. Q2. In surah Qasas 28:85 can you further elaborate the concept Restore to the place of habit? 13
