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: www.iipc.tv 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.

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. 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 * A HOPE TO THOSE IN DESPAIR.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. AL-FATIHAH 1 With the name of Allah, the Gracious,the Merciful. The praise is for Allah the Lord of the world. The Gracious the Merciful. King / Owner of the day of judgement. We serve only You and we seek only Your co-operation. Guide us to the straight / upright path. The path of those You have blessed over them other than the anger was over them and (yet) they were not the strayed ones. References of Ghazab / Anger: ARAF 7:150,154 (Moosa pbuh came in Ghazab / Anger). ANBIYA 21:87 (Younus pbuh came in Ghazab / Anger). SHOORA 42:37 (Believers forgive when they come in Ghazab / Anger). 1 2

83. And that was Our reasoning that We gave to Ibrahim (to use) over his people. We raise the grades whom We will. Surely your Lord is Wise, Knowledgeable. 84. AL-ANAM 6 And We granted Ishaaq and Yaqoob for him. We guided all and from before We guided Nooh and from his offsprings (We guided) Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayub and Yusuf and Moosa and Haroon. And likewise We reward those who do good. 85. And Zakariya and Yahya and Essa and Ilyas. All were from those who correct themselves. 3 4

AL-ANAM 6 86. And Ismail and Yasa a and Younus and Loot. And all were those whom We favoured over the worlds. MARYAM 19 56. And remember Idrees in Al-Kitab / The Book. Surely he was a true prophet. MU AL-ANAM 6 89. They are those to whom We gave Al-Kitab / The Book and Al-hukum / The governance and An-Nubuwah / The Prophecy. So if these are the one who reject with it so without doubt We have advocated with it to the people who will not be the rejecters with it. 5 6

MARYAM 19 MU 58.They are those among the prophets on whom Allah has blessed from the offsprings of Adam and from those whom We carried with Nooh and from the offsprings of Ibraheem and Israel and from those whom We guided and We selected, when the Ayats / Signs of the Gracious were recited on them they fall down prostrating, weeping. 7 8

AL-ANAM 6 90. They are those to whom Allah guided, so imitate / copy closely their guidance. Say, I do not question / ask you of any reward over it. it is not except the remembrance for the worlds. AL-AHZAAB 33 OO 40. Mohammad was not the father / ancestor from any of your men but he is the messenger of Allah and seal of the prophets. And Allah has knowledge of all things. 9 10

47.O Bani-Israel / children of Israeel! remember My blessing that I have blessed over you and surely I have favoured you over the worlds. 16. AL-BAQARA 2 AL-JASIYA 45 And without doubt, We gave Bani-Israeel / children of Israel Al-Kitab / The Bbook and Al-Hukm / The Governance and An-Nubuwah / The Prophecy and We gave them sustenance from the good and We have favoured them over the worlds. AL-ANAM 6 87. And from their fathers / ancestors and from their offspring and from their brethren and We select them and We guided them to the upright / straight path. 11 12

AAL-E-IMRAN 3 79. It not for a bashar / human that Allah gives him Al-Kitab / The Book and Al-Hukum / The governance and An-Nubuwah / The Prophecy and he says for mankind that besides Allah become servants for me but become lords / nourishers with what you give the knowledge of the book and with what you take lessons. ASH-SHOORA 42 PN 51. And it is not for a bashar / human that Allah speaks to him except by inspiration or from behind a veil or He sends a messenger, then he inspires with His permission whatever He wills. Surely He is most High, Wise. 13 14

ASH-SHOORA 42 PN 52. And likewise We have inspired Rooh / The spirit towards you from Our order. You did not have the perception of what is the book and the belief. But We have made it a light (i.e. Rooh / The spirit). We guide with it to whom We will from Our servants And surely you guide towards the upright / straight path. AZ-ZUKHRUF 43 PO 43. So hold fast with that inspired towards you. Surely you are on a upright / straight path. 15 16

SAAD 38 OT 71.When your Lord said for the angels Surely I am the creator of a bashar / human being from clay. 72. When I have made him even / proportionate and breathed into him from My Rooh / The spirit, then fall down prostrating for him. 73. So the angels prostrated, all of them together. 74. Except iblees / devil who sought greatness and became from the rejecters. 17 18

SAAD 38 OT 75.He said, O iblees / devil what prevented you to prostrate for what I have created with my two hands. Did you seek greatness or you are from the higher ones? 76.He (iblees / devil) said I am the better from him You created me from fire and You created him from clay. 19 20

AL-ISRA 17 MS 62. He (iblees) said, do You see this is the one You have honored over me. Definitely If You will give me respite towards the day of resurrection except a few I will definitely make him and his descendants worldly experienced. 63. He (Allah) said go away whosoever follows you from them, then surely hell is your reward an abundant reward. 21 22

AL-ARAF 7 S 17.Then definitely I will come to them from their front and from their behind and about their right and about their left and you will not find most of them thankful. 16.He (iblees) said so with what you have tempted me, definitely I will sit for them on Your upright / straight path. 23 24

YASEEN 36 62. And without doubt he led astray most of the temperament from you. Then were you not of those who had intelligence. 63. This is the hell that you were promised. 60. Did I not made a covenant to you, O children of Adam, that you will not serve the shaitaan / satan, surely he is a clear enemy for you. 61. And that is to serve Me, this is the upright / straight path. 25 26

YOUNUS 10 2. Was / is it an amazement for mankind that from them We inspired towards a man that he warns mankind and give good news to those who believe for them that is surely a truthful footing near their Lord. The rejecters said surely this is definitely a clear magician. ML 27 28

AZ-ZUMAR 39 OU 29. Allah strikes an example of a man in whom are quarrelsome / adversary partners and a man peaceful for a man. Are they even / equal in example. The praise is for Allah but most of them do not know. AN-NAHL 16 MR 76. Allah strikes an example of two men, one of them is dumb who do not have the power over anything and he is a tired / weak over his protector. Wherever he directs him he does not come with betterment. Does he become an even / equal to him and who orders with equality. And he is on the upright / straight path. 29 30

AAL-E-IMRAN 3 O 187. And when Allah took a covenant with those who were given Al-Kitab / The Book that definitely you will clarify it for mankind and you will not hide it. But they threw it away behind their backs and purchased with it little price. Then the bargain that they did was bad. AL-BAQARA 2 145. And to those who were given Al-Kitab / The Book definitely if you come with all the Ayats / Signs they will not follow your qiblah / direction of belief. And you are not with the follower of their qiblah / direction of belief and some of them are not with the follower of the qiblah / direction of belief of some. And if you were to follow their desires from after the knowledge has come to you, surely then you would be from the oppressors. 31 32

AAL-E-IMRAN 3 113. Not all of them are even / equal from people of the Book are a nation that stand, reciting the Ayats / Signs of Allah in portion of the night and they are those who prostrate. YASEEN 36 2. By the wise Quran / The Reading. 3. Surely you are from the messengers. (i.e. Rooh / The spirit / The essence / Jibraeel). 4. On the upright / straight path. 5. A revelation / sent down by the Mighty, the Merciful. 6. That you warn people whose fathers / ancestors are not warned. So they are heedless / unaware. 33 34

AL-ISRA 17 MS 9. Surely this Al-Quran / The Reading guides which is more straight and give good news to the believers those who do correct deeds. Surely for them is a great wage. AAL-E-IMRAN 3 101. And how can you reject and that is to you the Ayats / Signs of Allah are being recited over you and His messenger is in you. And whosoever holds with Allah. So without doubt (whosoever) has been guided towards the upright / straight path. 35 36

AL-MAIDA 5 16. Allah guides with it who follows His good pleasure to the ways of as-salam / The peace and He takes them out from the darknesses towards the light with His permission and He guides them towards the upright / straight path. Q AL-ANAM 6 161. Say, surely my Lord has guided me to a upright / straight path, a judgement established. The millah / religion of true Ibraheem and he was not from those who associate. 37 38

AL-BAQARA 2 142. The fools from the people will say what has reverted them about their qiblah / direction of belief that they were over it? Say for Allah is the east and the west. He guides to whom He wills towards the upright / straight path. þ AAL-E-IMRAN 3 114. They believe in Allah and the last day and they order with what is acknowledged and forbid about the disguised and they hasten in betterments. And they are from the corrected ones. 39 40

AL-FATAH 48 PT 4. It is He who sent down a tranquility / calmness in the heart of the believers that they increase the belief with their belief. And for Allah are the forces of the skies and the earth. And Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise. 5. That He will enter the believing men and the believing women in gardens the rivers flow from beneath it, they will dwell in it, And He will cover about their badnesses / hurts. And that is the great success near Allah. 41 42

AL-ANAM 6 153.And surely this is My upright / straight path. so follow it and you do not follow (other) ways so it will divide you about His way. That He gave you testament with it may be you take guard. AAL-E-IMRAN 3 O 51. Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, then serve Him. This is a upright / straight path. 43 44

AL-FATAH 48 PT 1. Surely We opened for you a clear opening / victory. 2. That Allah forgives for you what you had advance from your guilt and what will be the later (guilt).

There is no one from any creature except He catches with its forehead. Surely my Lord is on the upright / straight path. 45 46

ALLAH TRIED IBRAHEEM WITH HIS WORDS AND MADE HIM IMAM / LEADER AL-BAQARA 2 124. And when his Lord put Ibraheem to trial with words, then he completed them. He said, Surely I have made you the Imam / Leader for mankind, he said and from my offsprings? He said, My covenant shall not reach the oppressors. WAY OF SALAH / PRAYER ESTABLISHED IN THE HOUSE OF ALLAH 125.
